Hold On
04:12
|
|
||
Every day a little further from the past
Oh how some can fade and some will last
Others can grow and others are cast
In the stones of walls
In the stones we use to break the glass
In the bones we break to restore breath
In the ones we lose to grips of death
I’ll hold on
I’ll hold on, I’ll hold on
To the threads that you shed
If I find that you’re gone
I’ll hold on
I’ll hold on, I’ll hold on
To the blood that’s been bled
If I find that you’re gone
I’ll hold on
Walk gently on freshly sown grass
Leave prints on the handles of brass
Take time to compare and contrast
In the rituals
In the lies we use to comfort friends
In the cries we make to release stress
In disguise as one to be blessed
I’ll hold on
Chorus
We won’t meet again I’m afraid to say
Like so many other things that are left in the way
We won’t meet again I’m afraid to say
Like so many other things that are left in the way
A growing fear of the dark
I’ll hold on
To the life that we led
But if you find I’m gone
Please hold on
Chorus

Never Know
02:54
|
|
||
You’ll never know me
never know you
Won’t you spend a little time with me?
Before I have to go
I’ll spend a little time with you
So lock me up turn off the light
Throw away the key
Clearly reason alone can’t keep me here
We both know that it’s all a big waste of time
And it’s best to not interfere
Maybe you’re wrong
Wrong about the forecast, wrong about the sea
Maybe you're wrong,
Wrong about wrong the forecast wrong indefinitely
Not everything can be the way you want
Not everything can be your way
Being alive is a compromise.

Things That Last
03:20
|
|
||
Our spirits up head down
No problems left to drown
No purpose for us here
There’s no reason to be bound
You’ll find the things that last
Are the things slow to burn
Easy come easy go
Often heard but hard to learn
Often heard but hard to learn
Winter sprung summer
And it took me by surprise
The days were for the lows
And the nights were for the hights
You’ll find the things that last
Are the things slow to burn
Easy come easy go
Often heard but hard to learn
Often heard but hard to learn
Tear it up and tear it down x 4
You’ll find
You’ll find the things that last
Are the things slow to burn
Easy come easy go
Often heard but hard to learn
Often heard but hard to learn

When You're Alone
03:12
|
|
||
Memory is real, it comes down to emotions
And that’s where you’re weak, most of you peak
Proving your devotion
I am not angry, I am not amused
People often enjoy being abused
Slip into something more comfortable
What you wear when you’re alone
More layers covering bone
When you’re most vulnerable
I am not angry, I am not amused
People often enjoy being abused
Did you focus too long?
Now what’s blurry is wrong
And that’s where you’re weak, most of you speak
Of what you’ve known all along
Known all alone

Pretty Things
03:38
|
|
||
The pretty things don’t mean what you think
The pretty things that rise through the rank
The pretty things don’t say what they mean
The pretty things to mask the unclean
The smell of fresh flowers, the smell of the oak
The Staleness they hide, the paleness they cloak
Don’t cry to me, when it’s healing you seek
Don’t cry to me, the truth you can’t speak
You’ve been deceived unintentionally
You’ve been deceived by everything
Don’t cry to me
Don’t cry to me the truth you seek
Don’t cry to me you’ve been deceived
Don’t cry to me you’re not that weak
Don’t cry to me

Turn of Phrase
01:14
|
|
||
People love to say you’ll regret the things you didn’t do
Not the things you did, it’s a lovely cliche
An easy way to get you to reflect on all the times
Or for everything you did
Everything else wasn’t done
|

Means No Harm
01:14
|
|
||
The clock is armed it means no harm
It still imposes its will
The clock is armed i’ve lost my charm
Feeling over the hill
The clock is armed sounds the alarm
When I’m feeling most still
The clock is armed it means no harm
That doesn’t mean it won’t kill
Doesn’t mean it won’t x 7
Doesn’t mean it won’t kill
Didn’t die young that’s not your fault
In the middle I’m getting caught
Memories made to deceive
Fighting off routine
In life there’s no guarantees
At least we’ve rolled up our sleeves
Got our hands a little dirty
To sleep in graves with conscience clean
Doesn’t mean it won’t x7
Doesn’t mean it won’t kill

No Good Deeds
04:02
|
|
||
Ignorance is bliss
What ignorance is this?
repeating the emotion
But all the facts you miss
To argue for the truth
Is to argue for a myth
Comes natural to those
The spirits walk with
Repeat
Obdurance breeds
No good deeds, no good deeds
See what’s atrophied
Lacking sympathy
Unquestionable certainty
Amazes me
Comes natural to those
Who lack humility
Repeat
Chorus
No good deeds, no good deeds
Never had empathy
You can't walk in someone's shoes
Change your mind with no breathe between
Close your eyes to avoid changing views
Never had empathy
You can't walk in someone's shoes
Change your mind with no breathe between
Chorus

Turn of Phrase (Reprise)
03:39
|
|
||
This is just a turn of phrase
For everything you didn’t do
Something else got done
This is just a turn of phrase
For everything you didn’t do
Something else got done
Something else got done, something else got done
This is all a trap
No way out
People love to say
You’ll regret the things you didn’t do
And not the things you did
People love to say
You’ll regret the things you didn’t do
And not the things you did
It’s a lovely cliche
It’s an easy way to get to you, it’s an easy way to get to you
It’s an easy way to get you to, it’s an easy way to get you to
Reflect on all the times you hid
Don’t be too good, don’t be too shy
I’ve watched the world pass those people by
Don’t be too good, don’t be too shy
I’ve watched the world pass those people by
Don’t be too good, don’t be too shy
I’ve watched the world pass those people by
This is just a turn of phrase, this is just a turn of phrase, this is just a turn of phrase
This is just a turn of phrase

The Rabbit
03:31
|
|
||
The Rabbit has stained the face of the moon
Better hurry up, the sun is rising soon
The Rabbit has stained the face of the moon
Better hurry up, better hurry up
Hope to die
My Heart I cross
Not lost for good
The good I’ve lost
The good I’ve lost
Trying to provide, protect and partake
Nothing could survive the snares that you stake
It didn’t have to end so violently but
Thieves they rule the night stealing silently
Thieves they rule the night
Chorus
All the marks that you bare
While trying to repair
All get swept away
Into obscurity
That’s the way it seems
But I still see you in dreams
The Moonlight
Levels the field
You see what I see
No colors revealed
No colors revealed
Chorus

The Harvestmen
03:34
|
|
||
One day your feeling will match the look
You gotta hold on to it tight
You’ll never get back all the time you took
Looking for the light
In the cellar of the past
The very few things that last
There’s no way left to defend
The harvestmen
Was it love or close enough
You know i’m the pretender
At least I pretend to be
When I’m the defender
In the cellar of the past
The very few things that last
There’s no way left to defend
The harvestmen
Leave you pretty, stupid, young
Leave you ageing on a skeleton hung
Leave you hollow and silent
Like the harvestmen
Don’t be convinced that nothing is the same
If change is constant, nothing can change
To the things that you loved the most
To the things that you wanted
It never was, will never be
You can’t go back once you’ve gone away
The moment you leave it begins to decay
It’s not a reason for you to stay
It’s going to be ok
It’s going to be ok
|

Precision
03:25
|
|
||
I let you cut me open
With precision, a plan to remove what’s diseased
Secretly hoping
Everyone wishing
But i’ll let you do as you please
Something inside of me wrong
Something inside of me wrong
Something inside of me gone
I left with just a token
Of the vision, ready to nurse what’s left of me
The words so softly spoken
Of decisions, leaving you the indemnitee
Secretly hoping
Everyone wishing
But I’ll let you do as you please
Something has got to be wrong
Something inside of me wrong
Something has got to be wrong
I’ll not lead you closer
Strive for separation
I’ll not lead you closer
Strange infatuation
Secretly hoping
Everyone wishing
But I’ll let you do as you please
Something inside of me wrong
Something inside of me wrong
Something inside of me gone
Something has gotta be wrong
Something inside of me wrong
Something inside of me wrong
Something inside of me gone

Of It All
03:54
|
|
||
By the time you reach the light that you seek
The suns already been set
Start over again
We aren’t getting out of this alive
It doesn’t matter how hard you try
You can learn the truth or buy a lie
Either one will help to pass the time
The way you sing to me sells it so easily
A simple waltz to the end
Embrace my friend
Chorus
We seem to be haunted
We seem to be close
To breaking into the middle
Of it all
Of it all Love it all...
