On
Your Shore
I dig my heels into the dirt cause this one's gonna hurt
Won't let the waves wash me away is what I always pray
In my heart I know you couldn't see in the dark
Or find your way through me
Now I'm alone my hands are numb how do I carry on
At the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die
Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?
Now I'm held hostage in my head with every word you said
God all those lessons in my past I spit them out so fast I
See myself
With you I act so small see myself with you I always crawl
So someone leave a raft for me the water's getting deep
At the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die
Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?
Here I am in my insecurity
Here I am with my damaged dignity
Here I am you're pulling me in too deep
Here I am
Here I am, I'm in the mercy seat
Here I am, running without my feet
Here I am, oh what's come over me
Here I am
When I was melting in your hand you didn't understand
You slip through me like grains of sand you still don't understand
Overboard I'm thrown out to see what you are and what I mean to me
But I will always have my dream where you can swim to me
At the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die
I've been on your shore before and it was no waste of time
Over my head and in my mind
Am I washed on your shore and barely alive
Am I washed on your shore and barely alive

Up
All Night
It's 3 AM
And I have been
In my head for quite some time
Every fear, every tear
Has been swirling in my mind
And there are still a hundred reasons
I shouldn't walk away
Do I love you?
If I leave you
You have no name
I was up all night
Waiting for some kind of miracle
I was up all night
Feeling all alone in the universe
I was up all night
When morning comes
I will tell you
It's life I have to chase
But every song, that I sing
Will be written by your face
And if you're really meant to be
Then you'll be back again
And I watch as your beginning turns into the end
I was up all night
Waiting for some kind of miracle
I was up all night
Feeling all alone in the universe
If it's you, or if it's me I say
That I'm still throwing it all away
I was up all night
Oh the kick inside
In the dark you hide
And we both know how the ending will be
And you're a little tired with your eyes shut wide
And we both know how the end will be
How it will be
I was up all night
Waiting for some kind of miracle
I was up all night
Feeling alone in the universe
If it's you or if it's me I say
That I'm still throwing it all away
I was up all night
I was up all night
I have been into the break for you
I was up all night
I have been into the break for you
I was up all night, night, night

Limits
Of Our Love
I can't cry
I can't understand
Can't give in or give up my plan
And we were swimming in the water with no hand
And I will never quit the fight
I'll push the limits of our love
And every passing day and night
I'll push the limits of our love
And everything will be alright
I'll push the limits of our love
To see how far it goes
Goes where nobody knows
Yeah the light, on the dark is me
Go back out cause I can not see
And though my instincts say that we should turn and run
And I will never quit the fight
I'll push the limits of our love
And every passing day and night
I'll push the limits of our love
And everything will be alright
I'll push the limits of our love
To see how far it goes
Goes where nobody knows
When the world is crashing down oh
I will throw it on my back for you
When you're paralyzed and bound
I'll be waging war
Into the night, to the night yea
Into the night, to the night yea
Into the night, to the night yea
Into the night, to the night yea
And I will never quit the fight
I'll push the limits of our love
And every passing day and night
I'll push the limits of our love
And everything will be alright
I'll push the limits of our love
To see how far it goes
Goes where nobody knows
Goes where nobody knows
Goes where nobody knows

Haunted
Watch yourself
Before you crawl inside somebody else
Were you here
To trap me like a thousand bottled tears
Even though you disappear with no goodbye
I see you almost everywhere,
You're everywhere
I'm haunted
And all I see is you
I'm haunted
And all I need is you
And there is no one else
There is no one else except for you
I still dream
I won't give up until I wear your ring
Violate and if you do it try not to be late
A hundred winters made the spring insane
A hundred nights without you
I'm not okay, I'm not okay
I'm haunted
And all I see is you
I'm haunted
And all I need is you
And I can't go to far and
I know where you are
I'm haunted and all I see is you
I'm haunted and everyone is you
And there is no one else
There is no one else
A memory burns
So deep in my heart through the hollow hours
You're close to me
I can feel, I can feel, I can feel, I can feel
I can feel, I can feel, I can feel, I can feel
I'm haunted, I'm haunted
I'm haunted
And all I see is you
I'm haunted
And everyone is you
And there is no one else
There is no one else
There is no one else
There is no one else
There is no one else
There is no one else
There is no one else except for you

Your
Armor
Would you like the chance to shatter heaven?
Would you like to be the one who pulls the sky down just for me?
Round and round and round we run,
And pretend, pretend the sun is all you need
I've never known a moment to be frozen
You're making deals with minutes that will slip away, just slip away
So starve the garden stop the rain
Winter settles on my petals anyways, anyways and
Is your armor thin again
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?
Nothing into something into nothing
Oh every rule you break means there's no turning back,
No looking back.
The words that I could never say
The clutter that is in your way is nothing new, nothing new and
Is your armor thin again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?
Is your armor thin again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found
Wandering between the girl you search for and the one you leave
And I cannot wait
Chasing you around the room is tempting
So near and far away from meaning anything to you
But just remember if you're jumping, I would start my jump off
Running after you
Is your armor thin again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?
Is your armor thin again?
Do I want to wear it down?
Am I worthy to come in?
Am I worthy to come in?
Am I worthy to come in?
Do you want to be found?
Do you want to be found?

Parade
On
Her hands are in the air again
Stripped of pride
She was waiting for a sign to be let in
She tried to stop a train for him
Without shoes
And he was so amused, amused
She needs a reason to parade on
She needs a new road to pave
She needs a reason to parade on
It's wearing her outsides thin
There's someone there to save
You wonder why she gives and gives
Till it burns
And there is nothing he can give her in return
She'll live and die by make believe
Her frozen heart
Well he can't wait around while she gets blown apart
She needs a reason to parade on
She needs a new road to pave
She needs a reason to parade on
It's wearing her outsides thin
But someone there to save
The distance won't know
Which way you should go
Cause we are not built so we can float
We are what we are
But that seems so far
Parting the red sea's easier, easier
It's time to introduce herself
She's dethroned
Like some lonesome, dusty book upon his shelf
She needs a reason to parade on
She needs a new road to pave
She needs a reason to parade on
It's wearing her outsides thin
There's someone there to save on
There's nothing I can say and
There's nothing I can say

Every
Time It Rains
Every time it rains I listen to the sky
I wonder what's so great about sunshine
So everybody lives and everybody dies
And no one's gonna love you like I do
And now it's getting dark
I didn't need a match
I never needed light to see you
You thought I'd disappear but
I was always here oh
I could never get that far from you
No I misunderstand
And been misunderstood so
Love me cause you can
And not because you should
Every time it rains
I know it's good to be alive
And every time it rains
I know I'm trying to survive
So take it as it comes
And take me as I am
I never was a good imposter
But I know how to dream
And don't know where I stand
I'm willing to admit I try to hard
Stop playing with my heart
I'm waiting by the phone
Afraid to be myself
Afraid to be alone
But every time it rains
I know it's good to be alive and
Every time it rains
I know I'm trying to survive
And every time it rains
I'm gonna hide myself inside
I know it's good to be alive
I know it's good to be alive
I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains
I know it's good to be alive
And everytime it rains
I know I'm trying to survive
Everytime it rains
Everytime it rains
Everytime it rains
Everytime it rains

Something
Like a Hero
Hello boys
Got directions to the bombshell factory?
And a bow flexing nightmare tendency?
Hesitate, where's the tape my retired beauty queen?
Hello girls
Truth can make you stare into the mirror for hours.
And could lipgloss save a nation Mr. Powers?
Come into what's my own disappear zone, close my ears
Close my eyes
In the world of a stupid girl and in her stupid dress size
So who are we, who's the judge, and are you something like a hero?
No mistakes
Different versions of the girl right next to you
And I'm knocking on your door and can't get through.
And I cry and I sigh and I try to
Close my ears
I close my eyes
In the world of a stupid girl and in her pettiest of lies
So who are we, who's the judge and are you
Something like a hero?
Dull sensations, push them to the wall, oh to the wall
And the thorns that fall, have the guts to walk upon them all
Yeah yea to walk upon them all
Yeah yea to walk upon them all yea yea
Halfway there
I was waiting by the phone for you to care
And I can't make a seed grow anywhere
So I wait, so I wait, are you out there?
Close my eyes
I close my ears
In the world of a stupid girl and in her shallowest of fears
So who are we, who's the judge and are you something like a hero?
Are you something like a hero?
Something, something, something like a hero
Are you something like a hero?
Something, something, something like a hero
Are you something like a hero?
Are you something like a hero?
Are you something like a hero?
Are you something like a hero?
Are you something like a hero?
Are you something like a hero?
Are you something like a hero?
Are you something like a hero?
A hero, a hero, a hero

Steel
The lost and insincere
They think I need to hear what's in their empty eyes, eyes, eyes,
eyes
We're few and far between
We've hardly been serene
But stand up to their lies, lies, lies
We are steel
We don't feel anything at all
He took me in his arms
But then he squeezed too hard
He wouldn't let me breathe, breathe, breathe
And it's been too many years
I've hurt too many times
To give up everything, thing, thing
I am steel
I don't feel anything at all
Anything at all
The way I've been confused
The way that I've been used
And spit out on your dime
And still you lead me on
And still you tear me down
And say it's in my mind
Well I've seen hell and back
I've hidden in the dark with
No one there at all, all, all
I've scraped us back to life
I've laced up both my boots
So try and twist the knife, knife, knife
I am steel
I don't feel anything at all
We are steel
We don't feel anything at all
Anything at all
Anything at all
Anything at all
Anything at all

Beautiful
Life
You can't judge the love by the lover
The sky by it's thunder
The road with no sign
You can't make the snow fall in summer
Or make him not want her
Not leave it behind
Maybe he'll stay in touch years down the road
And hope that he's still in your mind
The sun may come up and go down again
I'll still swear it's a beautiful life
Maybe we'll meet up in Denver
Talk about weather
Talk of old times
I know every word that we said
Was what we both meant
Well we meant it at the time
Promise me that you'll be standing up straight
Chasing rivers, and shadows, and time
The sun may come up and go down again
I'll still swear it's a beautiful life
Time flies, time cries
Oh time flies, time cries
So swim to the end of the river
Until there's no shiver
Left in your spine
Live like there won't be tomorrow
See through your sorrow
See through your own eyes
Try to remember these days down the road and
Try to remember this time
The sun may come up and go down again and
I'll still swear it's a beautiful life
The sun may come up
The sun may go down
The sun may come up
The san may go down
Oh the sun may come up
The sun may go down
I'll still swear it's a beautiful life

Sweet
Chariot
Ode to joy
My lover boy is speaking in tongues
And the sky is breathing gray
Now I pull my bag of prayers out
I hope to find one to save the day
Any judge
My love, my lust, my taste
With the straightest face
As I crawl up inside
A paper mache, a shell with no names
Sweet chariot
Come, come, take me away from my fears
Sweet chariot
Come, I have to get out of here
And it took me further than I wanted to go
Underneath his shoe
And it leaves me hungry for a touch I can't feel
A touch he won't do
And I thought the circle
It had an end
I'm old enough to know
My denial is how we began
And how we will end
And now that I know
Sweet chariot
Come, come take me away from my fears
Sweet chariot
Come, I have to get out of here
Oh the blood that's in my veins
So cold and frozen from the stings
Ooh it comes and goes in waves
Am I really here?
Sweet chariot
Come and take me away from my fears
Sweet chariot
Can we leave him a trail of my tears
Sweet chariot
It's been, it's been the longest of years
Sweet chariot
Come I have to get out of here

Wild
Horses
Childhood living
Is easy to do
The things that you wanted
Well I bought them for you
Graceless lady
You know I am
You know I can't let you
Just slide through my hands
And wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
And wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
I watched you suffer
A dull aching pain
And now you've decided
To show me the same
No sweeping exits
Or off stage lines
Could make me feel better
Or treat you unkind
And wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
And wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
I know I've dreamt of you
A sin and a lie
And I have my freedom
But I don't have much time
Faith has been suffered
And tears must be cried
So let's do some living
After we die
And wild horses
Couldn't drag me away oh
And, and wild horses
Couldn't drag me away oh
And wild horses
Couldn't drag me away oh
And wild horses
Couldn't drag me away no
Couldn't drag me away

Madman
I woke up this morning
And my head it started roaming
Now nothing's right, nothing's right
Don't remember being born
Don't know why we're being torn
I know nothing's right, nothing's right
I open up my mouth just to let the demons shout
Though my dirty little schemes
That the wettest of my dreams are you
Nothing's right, nothing's right
Over and over I'm feeling
The same old lonliness
And under me, under me feeding the madman
I'm breaking off a piece of what's left
And what was me
But it feels alright, feels alright
I'm laying on your robe
Cause I thought that it might hold
And it feels alright, feels alright
Do I want to take it there
Is this as good as it'll get
And I cannot get away from the
Comfortable familiar chains
Nothing's right, nothing's right
Over and over I'm feeding
The same old lonliness
And under me under me feeding the madman
Over and over it's chilling
The things I've let you miss
And if you're a miracle,
I am a madman
And I'm sorry I didn't build your walls and
And I'm sorry I didn't go and fall and
And I'm sorry I had the whole thing wrong and
Well I guess I'm the sorriest of all
And I'm sorry that you were feeling small and
And I'm sorry that I'm not used to crawling
And I'm sorry your writings on the wall and
And well I guess I'm the sorriest
Guess I'm the sorriest of all
I woke up this morning
And my head it started roaming
And now nothing's right, nothing's right
Don't remember being born
Don't know why we're being torn
I know nothing's right, nothing's right
You said you don't identify with my sort of petrified
Oh look on the pride that I've managed to ignore
For so long
Nothing's right, nothing's right
Nothing's right, nothing's right
But it seems alright, it seems alright
