Locked myself in my room for a few weeks
The world was turning bleak
The sun kills all but maybe it’s the cure
Do we know all this for sure?
It was just the other day we had not one care
No one was prepared
Make our way to our jobs but everybody’s acting so removed
Find your call when all calls are being put on hold
And you are waiting by the phone
I miss you and my brother and my family too
I hope they’re pulling through
They told me how to act and how to be
I kept my will in my sleeve
And though some things that I have said were wrong
You know I meant no harm
A forest full of sighs (forest)
In my window (window)
I never want to see the inside (sun again)
All you need is inside of your mind (Only want to be inside of your mind)
That’s just how I see it now
Thoughts that (Thoughts that) once belonged
They came and (Came and) went like a moth to a flame (On paper machete, for every age)
And though the blood was dry, they bled the same
I’ll never reach that place
In spite of all the lies, we’ve been deceived
Embrace your self esteem
Now that you have been away
Thoughts that (Thoughts that) once belonged
They came and (Came and) went like a moth to a flame (On paper machete, just to escape)
A ladder (Been there) to the top of the hole that (Known you) I dug myself in (On beach parade)
I gotta climb back up (For every day)
Where does the truth end in this spiel?
Where does the fiction start?
Say we’re not to blame but I don’t see it that way
Sad thing is we say we don’t care
Thoughts that once belonged, they came like a moth
They came like a moth
A willow on the creek,
A sentence out of place, or out of reach
Darling, if I am to give my best I need you to understand
And one day, I will be your man
My love, don’t let it bring you down
Although I’m not around, some day we’ll be holding hands
I will bring the band, and we will play a song about you
And the words are true
If fate is kind, if fate is kind
Darling, I doubt they will understand
I’ll show them just who I am
And this one, this one is for you
I will bring the band, and we will play a song about you
And the words are true
If fate is kind, if fate is kind
I try to laugh it off, I can’t
They won’t break my spirits
I don’t care
The only way out is through when you fall behind
The doctor says take your meds, they’ll get you through the night
Catch your breath, and the arms of the trees will unfold, unfold
No safe bet when you choose to forget
Nothing will change who you are
Every night, you would have become your enemy
Time reveals all the things that you have yet to see
Take a pause, find your way, all is not lost
Lie awake pondering the bridge you could’ve crossed
Catch your breath and the arms of the trees will unfold, unfold
No safe bet when you choose to forget
Nothing will change who you are
Catch your breath and the arms of the trees will unfold, unfold
No safe bet when you choose to forget
Nothing will change who you are
Outshining all of the stars
Nothing will change who you are
No scream, or sound of shouting guns in the yard
Run away, everything behind you
Somehow, I’d rather be the dust on the road,
Than live a life without any feeling
Even the ones who look fine, they have their scars
Somewhere, deep inside
Shrouded in dreams,
You will find peace of mind In the grand scheme
There is a darkness all around this town,
And a fever, but I will hold your hand
One name to welcome everyone you meet
And an old one reminds you of your past
Even the ones who look fine, they have their scars
Somewhere, deep inside
Shrouded in dreams,
You will find peace of mind in the grand scheme
Restless, you are the sea
And they can’t see the damage
When moonlight puts up a fight
I wake up and start to think of you
Look out and admire the trees in full bloom
There’s no time for selfishness tonight
Traffic stuck along the bridge, we’re alright
Everybody knows I’m a thousand miles away
Picture all of the times that we took those scenic drives
Saw your different sides, I will make you mine
Never thought I’d see this place again
It’s exactly as it was back then
Strawberries in the afternoon
Take my guitar and I play out of tune
Everybody knows I’m a thousand miles away
All the days we spent, they linger in my head
Picture all of the times that we took those scenic drives
Saw your different sides, I will make you mine
Picture all of the times that we took those scenic drives
Saw your different sides, I will make you mine
Picture all of the times that we took those scenic drives
Saw your different sides, I will make you mine
Picture all of the times that we took those scenic drives
Saw your different sides, I will make you mine
Saw your different sides, I will make you mine
Time for a shift in frame of mind
I’m unkind
Now from a different point of view
Coming loose
Lost in a sudden twist of fate
‘Long the way
I want to be there when you call
Catch you if you fall
Meet me at the foot of a tree
Let the starlight set you free
I can see the song in your eyes
It’s a soothing lullaby
Tangle my fingers up in yours
Something pure
Heart caught up in barbed wire, I
Wait for the light
Meet me at the foot of the moon
There’s a starship leaving soon
You’re the one I wanted to find
You’re a soothing lullaby
And it’s such a haunting melody that tugs at my shoe
There’s no rest when I know that I won’t be with you
Help me out by shaking your head
Or shake whatever you want
You want to see a cat fight?
Turn off the lights
Forget the guy who doesn’t care for you
Guess you’ve got nothing to lose
I can be your remedy
If you believe
Oh my god, has the music taken over my life?
Can’t you see that I wanted you to occupy my time?
My love will meet you halfway
If you walk away
Don’t wanna see you like this
Pretty miss
But can I give you what you want,
If you ask me to?
I’ve hit a crossroads with myself
A broken spell
Let’s suppose for a moment that we mean what we say
No I won’t, I can’t find a decent reason to stay
When you look into my eyes,
I can sense that you’re on the fence
Put on a superficial grin
There’s a chance of an old romance
You can be of use without being used
What will you choose?
You can be of use without being used
Nothing to lose
Oh my god has the music taken over my life?
Can’t you see that I wanted you to occupy my time?
I’ve been spinning around
The sound keeps me away from you
Careless, treating yourself to thrill,
A fantasy you wanted to fill
I’ve been spinning around
The sound keeps me away from you
Careless, treating yourself to thrill
A fantasy you wanted to fill
It keeps me away from you
It keeps me away from you
