Oh in the morning,
I stumble, my way towards, the mirror
and my makeup, its light out, and I now,
face just what I'm made of.

There's so much more left to do,
but I'm not young,
but I'm not through.

Oh in the evening,
I stumble, my way towards, another
daily struggle, its dark out, its time now,
that I pick up my hustle.

Make a call, make some cash,
make your mark, make it last.
Tiny scores, tiny rooms.
Lofty goals met too soon,
too soon.

And here I stand a broken man,
if I could I would raise my hands.
I come before you humbly,
if I could I'd be on my knees.

Come and lay down your head upon my chest,
feel my heart beat, feel my unrest.
If Jesus could only wash my feet,
then I'd get up strong, and muscle on.

Oh in the morning,
I stumble my way towards the mirror
and my makeup, its light out, and I now,
face just what I'm made of.

There's so much more left to do,
well I'm not young, but I'm not through.
Tiny scores, tiny rooms,
lofty goals met too soon,
too soon.

. . .


Take it,
When I'm not looking.
Take it from my hook while it's still kicking.
Don't you feel it, when i start reeling?
I guess some things never change,
And I still hold the reins on what you're feeling.
What you're feeling.

Take it,
When I'm enjoying.
Take it from my mouth while I'm still chewing.
Don't you feel it when I start pulling?
I guess some birds never learn,
One day these tides will turn and leave you nothing.
Leave you nothing.

We're poised to lock our,
Horns up in some,
Method crash us,
We have failed it.
On our own way,
Have to settle,
Solid cry and,
Hold our heads on high.

Stake it,
When you feel threatened.
Stake your claim on lands already taken.
Don't you feel it, when I start throwing stones
I guess some birds never learn,
One day these tides will turn and leave you nothing.
Oooh.
Leave you nothing.

Take it.

. . .


I made you a present,
You'll never expect it.
And when you unravel,
The secret will travel home.

It's hard to take risks
With a pessimist.

I hope that this shakin',
will help us awaken.
Sep'rated by skin 'till,
we let our selves in, and...

It's hard to take risks,
With a pessimist.
It's hard to take risks.

I hope what will bring me.
This is the closest I'll come to,
I know you'll desert me.
touching you the way I want.

It's hard to take risks.
No one can be able,
With a pessimist.
I'll try to be faithful.

It's hard to take risks.
No one can be able,
With a pessimist.
I'll try to be faithful.

It's hard to take risks.
No one can be able,
This is the closest I'll come to,
With a pessimist.
I'll try to be faithful.
Touching you...

People of the future will remember
Her fate is something she brought upon herself
Writes a suicide note into the movie
"I love you all too much to carry on"
Everyone will think back to what they were wearing
Or who they were dating when the bones were found
People of the future won't remember names
But their betrayal smells the same
Rain is falling through the floor
Rain is coming rain is coming
Rain is falling through the floor
Cover your ears, cover your eyes, cover your mouth
Silence, blindness, tasteless violence
Air aid
Bring me the kite tied to the key, covered in fire
Downpour, thunder laced with lightning
Air aid
People of the future
Take it back
(I can't understand most of this whole part)
Cover your ears, cover your eyes, cover your mouth
Silence, blindness tasteless violence
Air aid
Bring me the kite tied to the key, covered in fire
Downpour, thunder laced with lightning
Air aid
Brought upon herself
Cover your ears, cover your eyes, cover your mouth
Silence, blindness tasteless violence
Air aid
Cover your eyes
Brought upon herself
Cover your eyes

. . .


Say it again!
Say it again!
I know you love to
Hear yourself speak
words that you think.
I can't follow

And maybe that's the way
you and I will always relate.

You always had
The quickest wit,
The quickest quips,
And I can't keep up.
It's clear that you have
a rare gift of gab
And I'm just jealous.

Maybe that's the way
You and I will always relate.

But I won't let
How I sincerely
Feel, dear,
Stand in my way
'Cause there's
No love lost
That I can
Find again,
My dear friend.

You always
Said that we're friends
But that must depend
On which way the wind blows.
I swear that you have
Your own set of plans
And I just follow.

Maybe that's the way
You and I will always relate.

So I won't let
How I sincerely
Feel here
Stand in my way
'Cause there's
No love lost
That I can
Find again,
My dear friend.

I've got a strangle-hold
on this decision.
All those opposed
can rot in hell.

In meeting now the words
will form a sentence.
You'll be reduced
to nothingness.

I've got a strangle-hold
on this decision.
All those opposed
can rot in hell.

Wading through this mess together
Hand-in-hand, shoulder-to-shoulder
Some may stumble, some may fall behind.

Some may stumble, some may fall behind.

Well, it's high time
to step outside
drop the gloves
and settle this like a man.
We might stall and hem and haw
we might not fight
but we won't walk away.
Yeah, but we won't walk away.

Wading through this mess together
Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder
Some may stumble, some may fall behind.

. . .


It's safe to say
I'm walking a lot
It's safe to say
I'm thinner
It's safe to say
If we don't find food soon
We won't make it
Through winter.

I'm walking,
now running.
I'm picking up steam
I'm threatening
to expire.
I'm going to make it
We're going to make it
Before the cows come home
Before the cows come home
Before the cows come home.

It's safe to say
I'm walking a lot
It's safe to say
I'm thinner
It's safe to say
If we don't find food soon
We won't make it
Through winter.

. . .


What if all my enemies were dead
and i could forget everything they said
could I be then who I really am?

What if I sold everything I own
And ran away from everyone I know
could I make another place my home?

And if I let go all of my ghosts
who would I dump over the months?

What if everyone is right?
Should've taken their advice
But I can't change my mind

And if I let go all of my ghosts
who would I dump over the months?

(What if everybody else is right?
should've taken more of their advice)

. . .


So stop and take it all in slowly
'Cause this short glimpse is not the only
Chance that you will have to
See all the ways that I
Can prove myself as worthy
To be the one and only true sure thing
Sure thing

I can't believe I lent my hand
To help destroy a helpless man
Maybe it's a long shot now
But still I say
You should not, sir, survive this fall
Then I pray, if I pray at all,
I can catch my breath and
come away unscathed,
away unscathed.

I once believed you were my savior
But now you're nothing but a traitor.
But still, I wait for you return.
I get the feeling I have waited out a lifetime
For a lot to lose but nothing to gain,
nothing to gain.

I can't believe I lent my hand
To help destroy a helpless man
Maybe it's a long shot now
But still I say
You should not, sir, survive this fall
Then I pray, if I pray at all,
I can catch my breath and
come away unscathed,
away unscathed
away unscathed.

I took a walk with an invisible friend
And on that walk, I gave my hand
O, to be a machine
O, to be wanted
to be useful
With this ring that I wear today
My whole world is your property
O, to be a machine
O, to be wanted
to be useful
I took a walk with an invisible friend
And on that walk, I gave my hand

Majesty
Her majesty sails across the sea
And there's a new theory for each passing week
For each covered up case of doublespeak
And I've got a feeling we are counting sheep
We're in over our heads
This analogy
Only fits when I bow and call you

Majesty
Her majesty sails across the sea
And there's a new theory for each passing week
For each covered up case of doublespeak
And I've got a feeling we are counting sheep
We're in over our heads
This analogy
Only fits when I bow and call yo

Face down in the chemistry
Silent sound
I would never have gone
I would never have gone
x2

This bird is old and fat
It's sold its song
I would never have gone
I would never have gone
I would never have gone

Between the skin and bone
Is where the west was won
I would never have gone
I would never have gone
x2

Swallowing all the bones
By the hornets
I would never have gone
I would never have gone
I would never have gone

Honey, this'll be your future

Honey this will be the future
You should care enough
To carve your heart into a tree
Initial it with someone special

Honey this will be the future
You should care enough
To carve your heart into a tree
Initial it with someone

Honey this will be the future
You should care enough
To carve your heart into a tree
Initial it with someone special
With someone special

(instrumental bonus track)
