Gypsies 04:48
Run from this place Leave behind that awful taste Who can tell you lost the game If you start over with a brand new name Don't be that way Don't believe that they can change The more they have, the more they take To stay the same is such a waste Such a waste Far from the lives we've made Let's find a place to stay Where we won't have to pay If we can learn to trade Far from the words they say Let's find a new doorway Give all we have away Let's try before we fade Lost along the way We've been before some other day If you can't choose what trail to take Try the one that you made Run before it's too late If we don't hurry we'll stay the same The more they're still, the more we shake The more they have the less we crave The less we crave Far from the lives we've made Let's find a place to stay Where we won't have to pay If we can learn to trade Far from the words they say Let's find a new doorway Give all we have away Let's try before we fade

Certainty 04:33
You used to dream a lot You could do anything If you had a thought You wouldn't hesitate You never stopped to think If it would all work out You could handle it You knew how you felt Now you're not so sure If this is what you want You question everything You don't believe your heart You're more afraid of things Then you used to be You never used to care You used to be more free You don't know where you are Or where you're going to You keep on looking back You haven't got a clue There's no one by your side Or in front of you The choice is in your hands You don't know what to do So you wait around For a sign to say Where you're supposed to go And how long it will take You're running out of time It never seems to come You can't turn around You've come too far now Stuck and no one hears me To dark to see the door This room is not the same one That it was before I've gotta keep on moving Remeber what I know If I scream that I'm leaving Then I'll get to go Then I'll get to go They said that we would be okay That all we needed was a little clay We could shape it into anything No matter what we would always win Thought we could stand up by ourselves But now we're crawling and we need some help We'll never make it if we're on the ground Our legs are broken in a cruel crowd Leave the past and let's just go What is lost we'll never No mistakes and no amends No heartache and no more friends Certainty Help me please Set me free From uncertainty Certainty Help me please Set me free From uncertainty

Weak Spots 04:05
I found a way through I always seem to (it's not that hard) I found a way through I know where all of the weak spots are This tether might let go If the ego finds it So I'll dull my blade I feel a tug on the rope I can't keep fighting My wills about to break I've spent so long inside My teeth are lying Like a starving snake Day and night are the same My eyes are dying Am I asleep or awake I found a way through I always seem to (it's not that hard) I found a way through I know where all of the weak spots are I wasn't old enough Never believed what I was told I had to fall in love Before I'd question what I know Seems like it started as a crack An iridescent glow leaking like a tap Scratched on the surface with a tack Until I broke right through Could you imagine What's inside of me A secret message That only I can read It's seeping slowly From every part of me Just look closely And you will see I found a way through I always seem to (it's not that hard) I found a way through I know where all of the weak spots are

Where We Are 03:02
The deeper you dig The more you uncover There's layers here That go back for years And each one Will tell you a story And even predict The things that you fear There's things you will learn You want to remember Things you will see You'd rather forget Some pieces you find You want to hold on to Some of them That you could shed Did we go too far Would we still be Where we are Did I say too much Did I not Love you enough The deeper you dig The more you uncover There's layers here That show you the past And each one Will tell you a story And even predict How long you will last

By My Side 03:37
Wasted a day staring at a face I couldn't make it change It just stayed the same If I walked away Would the feeling stay In the room, in the air all around the place I would just love to go out tonight Any place with a crowd that's not too bright I can't find the courage to go by myself So I'm asking If you would walk closely by my side I don't find that you are strange I don't find that you are different If it's me that's needs to change What's it that makes you so terrific If I walked away How would you behave? Would you be the same, no? Would you act differently? If your weren't around me How would you behave? I would just love to go out tonight Any place with a crowd that's not too bright I can't find the courage to go by myself So I'm asking If you would walk closely by my side I just need to get away for a little while Any place with people that know how to smile I can't find the courage to go by myself So I'm asking If you would walk closely by my side

I'm up It's almost late The silence is peaceful It helps me create My own world I can make Creatures pull me in While I'm wide awake Someone's calling They're asking for me It sounds so real But it's a fantasy In the water And in the trees Anywhere you go You've got company Put on the silence Put on the silence Come on Put on the silence Put on the silence Come on Put on the silence Put on the silence Come on Come on Come on just put it on I wanna be snowed in I feel invisible In my floating living room I am invincible If we just try We can do anything Put a crown on And you can be a king Put on the silence Put on the silence Come on Put on the silence Put on the silence Come on Put on the silence Put on the silence Come on Come on Come on just put it on
