Born

Crawl right in to a brand new age,
Where everything's changed,
But it all feels the same to me,
And I can't tell if there's anything new today,
Because it's all been done,
Well all at least once for fifteen minutes,
And we still have our kings and queens,
Deliver an age,
But die on the way,
Well I for one refuse to be afraid,
Of what may come and what will fall away,
'Cause I,
Was born into the last great decade,
Left in haze,
Watching it fade into oblivion,
With each and every passing day,
The temperatures change,
And the time still escapes,
The tired hearts and the working hands,
That keep digging our graves,
But it's never too late,
Well I for one refuse to be afraid,
Of what may come and what will fall away,
'Cause I, I,
Was born into, born into, born

Murder
03:45

You're my temptation,
A bad influence,
Leading me away from the perfect plan,
A day to day distraction,
That steals away the passion,
Leaves a sense of emptiness for what you can't get back,
Now you know that it's wrong and we can't go on,
Living in the shadows of preeminence,
Don't you forget,
They're getting away with murder,
Getting away,
Getting away with murder,
Getting away,
Don't trust your eyes,
It's all an illusion,
The only thing that you can do is feel it out,
Masters of persuasion,
Mass manipulators,
We have seen what you've built we've come to burn it down,
Down to the ground,
They're getting away with murder,
Getting away,
Getting away with murder,
Getting away,
Getting away with murder,
Getting away,
Ohhh,
Ohhh,
You've made your decisions,
I just hope you can live with them,
They're getting away with murder,
Getting away,
Getting away with murder,
Getting away,
Getting away with murder,
Murder,murder, mmm-uh uh, murder, murder, murder, mmm-uh uh murder, murder, murder, mmm- uh uh, murder, murder, murder

Alibi
05:27
|

Was just a tiny mistake,
I never meant to make,
I swear I don't tell lies,
I don't care what they say,
They didn't see a thing,
I've got an alibi,
I know you were there,
You saw everything,
My partner in crime,
If the judge calls your name,
Point your finger away,
Keep your toes on the line,
So are you my witness?
Are you my witness?
Are you my weakness?
Oh yeah,
If they see my hidden face,
Would you give me a place,
To run away and hide,
Would you do anything,
Get down on your knees,
Cheat steal and lie,
I'm guilty again,
Got blood on my hands,
Stained by my sin,
But don't you pretend,
What you said to me,
Means nothing,
So are you my witness?
Are you my witness?
Are you my weakness?
Oh yeah,
Now that you know that the truth don't set you free,
You can lie to yourself but you don't have to lie to me,
You can lie to yourself but you don't have to lie to me,
You can lie to yourself but you don't have to lie to me,
You can lie to yourself but you don't have to lie to me,
You don't have to lie,
Don't have to lie,
You don't have to lie,
Don't have to lie,

Tabula Rasa

Do you remember when,
We took our first look upon this world?
We had no idea where we were going,
We knew we'd get there fine,
And on my birthday I,
Was not born alone,
My guardian angel,
Shared a womb with me,
I'm just glad that we made it,
I can't explain it,
From the stars,
We never looked back,
We never looked back,
It's as deep as the ocean,
The ocean,
So ride these waves they'll take us home again,
When these waves they stop crashing,
And we was upon the shore,
We'll come to the conclusion, conclusion,
We always were at home,
I'm just glad that we made it,
I can't explain it,
From the stars,
We never looked back,
We never looked back,
It's as deep as the ocean,
The ocean,
So ride these waves they'll take us home again,
Again, again, again,
Tabula rasa,
Tabula rasa,
Tabula rasa,
Tabula rasa,
Blank slate,
Blank Slate,
Blank Slate...

What I Should Have Said
03:31
|
|||
|
It's 4:00 A.M. and I haven't had my second cup of coffee,
Why are we fighting in the first place?
I'm sitting in one spot and strumming my guitar and singing softly,
Hoping you can't hear me,
I can't sleep,
I can't think,
About anything,
I can't sleep,
I can't think,
About anything,
But what I should have said,
Instead,
It's 4:00 A.M. again I'm wide awake I'm tossing and I'm turning,
Burning to tell you what I should've said,
Tongues disconnected from our brains we say things that we don't mean,
Or we don't say anything,
I can't sleep,
I can't think,
About anything,
I can't sleep,
I can't think,
About anything,
But what I should have said,
Instead,
Ooooh,
Don't cry anymore,
Come over closer it's okay drop your defenses,
Don't you cry anymore,
Don't you cry anymore,
Dry your eyes,
Don't you cry anymore,
Don't you cry anymore,
Dry your eyes,
Don't you cry anymore,
Don't you cry anymore,
Don't you cry anymore,
Don't you cry anymore,

Radio
04:12

Going down to the radio station,
Nobody's there,
Everything's on a digital wave now,
Never moves a particle of air,
Empty memories,
Filled by songs we've yet to sing,
To a screaming crowd,
Reaching out,
Reaching out,
But I'm still waiting for you to pick up my transmissions, transmissions, transmissions,
I'm still waiting for you to pick up my transmissions, transmissions, transmissions,
I hope you're sitting by a radio and waiting for my song to come in,
I hope you're sitting by a radio and waiting for my song to come in,
Think it's time for a new rotation,
It's only fair,
All the songs are old and played out,
The messages are stale,
Endless melodies seem to pour right out of me,
To a screaming crowd,
Reaching out,
Reaching out,
But I'm still waiting for you to pick up my transmissions, transmissions, transmissions,
I'm sending them out everywhere,
I'm still waiting for you to pick up my transmissions, transmissions, transmissions
I hope you're sitting by a radio and waiting for my song to come in,
I hope you're sitting by a radio and waiting for my song to come in,
Can you feel my transmissions, transmissions, transmissions,
Can you feel my transmissions, transmissions, transmissions,
Can you feel my transmissions, transmissions, transmissions,
I hope you're sitting by a radio and waiting for my song to come in,
I hope you're sitting by a radio and waiting for my song to come in,
I hope you're sitting by a radio and waiting for my song to come,
By a radio and waiting for my song to come,
By a radio and waiting for my song to come in,

Seven Years Good Luck
03:07

I saw perfection in the way that you reflected,
Like a mirror to the soul,
Shining back to me an image of what I should know,
That it's part of our condition,
To spend our time rebuilding,
Only from the bottom up of what we thought was our's forever,
Can you really understand,
Yeah,
You really understand,
I heard the whisper of a demon into my ear,
Telling me that I should run from all the dreams that I hold so dear,
I tried hard not to listen to the words that she did speak,
Said that I would surely die but deep inside I had to live it,
And it helped me understand,
Yeah,
It helped me understand,
Yeah,
Meeting you is undeniable proof,
That I will always find,
Desire to try and understand,
Yeah,
Try and understand,
That if you fell to pieces,
Like bits of broken glass,
I'd put you back together with my bare hands now baby,
If it would help me understand,
Help me understand,
Yeah,
Help me understand,
Yeah,
Help me understand,

Thank You
04:11
|

I'd like to thank you,
This opportunity,
You've given to me,
You started the flame,
Burned my weakness away,
And I'm stronger today,
I really can't complain,
About the tricks and the lies,
The spit in the eyes,
Asking myself why oh why,
I ever let you have that part of me,
But I appreciate all the sticks and the stones,
I appreciate all the cuts and broken bones,
I appreciate all the weakness that you stripped away,
Leaving nothing but goodness in it's place,
You really did a number on me,
Made me believe,
I had nothing,
To offer this world,
But I know now,
Some people can't see,
Past insecurity,
Because their too preoccupied,
Trying to hide,
The sadness inside,
Only to find,
They're wasting their time,
You're never gonna get that part of me no,
But I appreciate all the sticks and the stones,
I appreciate all the cuts and broken bones,
I appreciate all the weakness that you stripped away,
Leaving nothing but goodness in it's place,
I appreciate all the sticks and the stones,
I appreciate all the cuts and broken bones,
I appreciate all the weakness that you stripped away,
Leaving nothing but goodness in it's place,

Broken
04:02

Don't say I never gave you anything,
'Cause i see it in the way,
You're living what was given yesterday,
It's written on your face,
And in decisions that you make,
When they all come crumbling down,
Around your knees,
Your perfect plastic dreams,
Crazy schemes tearing,
Please take the pieces of a broken promise and put them back together,
Your hands bare the marks,
That turn into the scars,
I've known for half my life,
Open up your eyes and see through mine,
We'll get it right this time,
And it can't be over,
Not yet,
Not yet,
Please take the pieces of a broken promise and put them back together,
Please take the pieces of a broken promise and put them back together,

Plastic Smile
04:10

I can't explain away any of this,
If one person hears the words leave my lips,
The mission's accomplished I might as well quit,
Crawling out of bed each day,
Living in the cage I've made,
Looking through the window pane,
Foggy from yesterday's rain,
And we all could use a little light,
We all could use a little light,
Get up go to work again,
Abandon my passions put down my pen,
There's no sense in writing what will never be read,
Sleep walk through the days,
Plastic smile on my face,
No one hears a word I say,
So I use my body to communicate,
That we all could use a little light,
We all could use a little light,
There comes a time when you need a little light,
There comes a time when you need a little light yeah,
There comes a time when you need a little light yeah,
Oh we all could use a little light,
We all could use a little light,
We all get used a little,
All get seduced a little,
All could use a little light,

Lessons In Love
04:11
|

|
I learned from the best,
Put me to the test,
Like never trust the feeling in the center of my chest,
With a smile on her face,
And our fingers interlaced,
She looked me in the eye and told me I'd been replaced,
Yeah and that's when I learned,
Never listen to my heart again,
It will tell you lies,
Blind your eyes,
Leave you one step behind 'til the day that you find yourself lost,
In a cause you don't believe in,
You must've been dreaming,
To think it'd be so easy,
Yeah and that's when you learn,
Never listen to your heart again,
It's a cruel joke it plays,
Makes you waste away your days,
Squander your gifts,
Isn't ignorance bliss,
It's just a dream that don't exist,
An unfulfilled wish,
You think you'd just quit but this feeling drives you crazy,
Yeah and that's when you learn,
Never listen to your heart again,
Once I played the fool,
I no longer use your rules,
Dig deep and keep it in my chest,
'Cause if I don't my heart will beat me to death,

Anecdote Of The Antidote
03:53
|

|
No one ever said it was gonna be easy,
But I made you a promise you know I'm gonna keep,
You can push me away you can tell me to leave,
But there's not a chance in hell that'll ever change a thing,
You and I've been for long ride,
Makes me wanna run away sometimes,
But it really scares me to think of life with out you babe,
'Cause it's not ever day you find,
Someone who can change your mind,
Take your side and give you what you need,
And give you what you need,
And give you what you need,
When a tunnel can feel like a hole,
Falling into what you don't know,
'Cause you tripped on my heart strings,
Made me fall in love again,
Time will pass,
We will grown,
Nothing can predict where we go,
As long as it's together it feel's like home,
'Cause it's not ever day you find,
Someone who can change your mind,
Take your side and give you what you need,
And give you what you need,
And give you what you need,
