I'm Just Starting Now
05:13
|
|||
The green sky is falling, the sugar fields failing
My mind has turned into my favorite chair
The winds have been pushing my sail it's unfurling
I lift up my eyes to the whispering air
The blankness of morning is no longer with me
I turn into someone who possibly cares
You reach out your hand and I'm terrified to see
Your hand's turned to bone and then just disappears
And I'm just starting now
And I'm just starting now
The time catches up and I'm falling asleep
I reach out to you and I breathe you in deep
I close my eyes shut and I open my hand
The world is surrounding and pouring in sand
But I'm just starting now
But I'm just starting now
They say you're older
And have nothing to say
But I'm a bit bolder
Than I was in the days
of my youth
The earth in my hands has roughened the skin
The lines on my face don't know where to begin
My furrow goes deeper, my worry is steeper
Than any old dog who digs bones up again
But I'm just starting now
But I'm just starting now
I'm just starting now
I'm just starting now

Leaning Hard
04:39
|
|||
The second hand smoke has sunk in my eyes
I know what you think, that you know of the lies
It's so frustrating - I can't look again
To get what I want then to throw it away
Now I'm leaning hard on the wall
You ask if I'm crazy and I have to think
If you are the reason that I'm on the brink
It's so frustrating to be all alone
When you are the reason, that you want me gone
Now I'm leaning hard on the wall
Nowhere to run, and no where to pray
Your face hides the fact you don't want me to stay
Now I've come undone, again
You're walking to me and you're drawing me near
I ask if you're crazy, my heart in the air
You're so amazing, I can't breathe it in
You're someone to lean on, but I can't look again
Now I'm leaning hard on the wall
Nowhere to run, and no where to pray
Your face hides the fact that you want me to stay
Now I've come undone, again
My face in my hands and your head on my knee
I'm trying to become what you want me to be
It's so frustrating, to fight all the smoke
To pull on the blanket of safety and hope
Now I'm leaning hard...

I Am
03:37
|
|||
I am
Inappropriate
I am
Not so intricate
To be understood by you
A simple and clear view
An open book
I should
Not inebriate
I can't
Hold a candle straight
To you and all your kind
A simple and clear mind
An open book
The times I've thought back on
Are embarrassing to you
But a black hole I see through
It's really not as easy as you think
To sink

Bells
04:57
|
|||
Her arms have reached out and surrounded me
The light from her eyes calm all the fear
It's not so simple for me to see
The blinds on my eyes are there permanently
Don't forget what you see here
Don't make the same mistakes
It's not so easy to see
No, no, no
The time has come now for me to go
You watch me pack up and want to know
Why do you keep pushing for me to stay
The second hand ticks the time away
Don't forget what you see here
Don't make the same mistakes
It's not so easy to see
No, no, no
The Bells aren't broken
I hear them beckoning - the Bells
They're outspoken and they say
No, no, no

She Won't Wait
05:12
|

She's waiting for you
I know 'cause I left her there
But you know the truth
'Cause you see my eyes are bleary
And now I've lost my way to see
Her train leaves in ten minutes
For a small place on Beacon Hill
Where she'll share her heart with someone else
Unless you go with her
She won't wait for me again
'Cause she knows I know she sees right through me
My weak and inconsistent ways
Has thrown her out of reach for good
I'm lost and won't be found
There's no one looking for me
She won't wait for me again
'Cause she knows I know she sees right through me
She won't wait for me again
'Cause she knows I know she sees right through me
But she believes deep inside her soul
I will always be the same

They Said
04:57
|

He said - I don't want to do it any more and
She said - it doesn't matter what we're fighting for and
They saw - the end is simply just another word for a
New start - they said goodbye before the went out through the door
You know - that you were everything to her and that you've
Moved on - towards a room that's always empty and is dark
Cause she was the light that always stayed on
It's not over until the door has closed
The hallway's longer than both of us will ever know
She said - I know my life can be my own again and
He said - I never took it it was always there and
They saw - the end is simply just another word for a
New start - they said goodbye before the went out through the door
You know - that she was everything to you and that she's
Moved on - towards a room that's always empty and is dark
Cause he was the light that always stayed on
It's not over until the door has closed
The hallway's longer than both of us will ever know
They said - we're walking in the wrong direction and then
They said - our lives created a reaction and that
They saw - they were never looking at each other 'til the
New start - They turned around
and then they went back through the door

Moving On
04:45
|
|||
Moving towards the start of something that I know is real
Thinking past the times I failed and struggled to reveal
Images of broken dreams have clouded up my thoughts
I've brushed away the dust that covers all that I have lost
Moving on, I'm moving on - I must be on my way
The bus is leaving East in 20 minutes it won't wait
I'll think of you while I'm asleep and curled up in my seat
Until I wake up I'll forget we ever fell so deep
While I have slept around the fires and icicles of regret
It's times like these that I must seize and hold before I forget
The opportunity has reared its ugly head in my face
And this is why I must abide and slam the door on this place
Moving on, I'm moving on - I must be on my way
The bus is leaving East in 20 minutes it won't wait
I'll think of you while I'm asleep and curled up in my seat
Until I wake up I'll forget we ever fell so deep
You've made your choice and now it's time for me to make my own
Deciding this has been the bane of my climate in my home
The images of future dreams are dreary without you
And so I'll stay around a while and see this whole thing through
Moving on, I'm moving on - I must be on my way
The bus is leaving East in 20 minutes it won't wait
I'll think of you while I'm asleep and curled up in my seat
Until I wake up I'll forget we ever fell so deep

Stranded
03:16
|
|||
I've been stranded on a crosswalk in the middle of town
The light has changed to green and cars are moving now
You froze me with your words and they have blinded me
I just can't see
I'm stranded again - it always seems to happen
I'm stranded again - I should have seen you...
Leaving me this time has turned me into cement
The life I've spent, I now lament
The months I've pined for you are unrequited I know
You let me go - without having you
I'm stranded again - it always seems to happen
I'm stranded again - I should have seen it comin'
I'm stranded again - I'm stranded again
I'm lifting up my feet and on the sidewalk now
I'm moving again, but I don't know how
There must be someone else out there and searching for me
Who just can't see me, she just can't see
I'm stranded again - it always seems to happen
I'm stranded again - I should have seen it comin'
I'm stranded again
I'm stranded again

Third Song
05:50
|

Standing in the doorway
And he's thinking about the next day
Unaffected by
Those who frown upon him
Wet paint on his shoulder's
Just another chip to hold
He's unaffected by
The weight that drags him down
What he wants is what he sees
Around him deep inside his mind
He starts to speak
To those who frown upon him
You all stare at me as if
I'm not allowed to speak
You're unaffected by
The words that I might say
So leave me alone
Just leave
But he's afraid of his own shadow
Walking through the streets
He's now affected by
The dark lights in his eyes
He's going to finally realize
He'll be alone under those streetlights
Until affected by
Those that stand around him
Don't leave him alone
Don't leave
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave
