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

Put on the Silence
04:37
|
|||
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
