your heart is keeping all the time your head is similar to mine the room is dark your lantern's broke your writing songs inside the smoke can't you see it makes no sense it doesn't matter ease your mind you can't keep time forever after you're sucking scraps out of the sink your pen is running out of ink the past is back you're coming home you're writing words onto the stone can't you see it makes no sense it doesn't matter ease your mind you can't keep time forever after
2.
I thought I told you not to speak to me although you want to you should leave me be you tried to freeze me didn't you baby I won't make that mistake again now when you see me turn and walk away I'm not in any mood to talk today you tried to burn me didn't you baby I won't make that mistake again
3.
you were always talking you were too proud to listen laughing at me for a while you've had it bad but I doubt you're worried I just wanna see you smile I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you to be strong all the years you want to do alone songs to show her 'fore she's dying please believe I'd never try and turn you don't belong and don't be mine I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you to be strong I can feel it when I start to dream
4.
when you cry the truth is coming from you when you try and fight it you're only kidding yourself though I realize you must keep happy when you were a child your tears were laughing and I don't think you should be so serious 'cause we all know nothing anyway

Kind Of Soul 02:03
are you really gonna let her win after all she's done? she's just another one are you really gonna take her back after where she's been? do you see what I mean? recognize her mystery if you'll promise this to me don't be around that kind of soul are you really gonna speak to her? I can't believe you wouldn't let her leave are you sleeping standing on your feet after all you've done? you're not the only one recognize her mystery if you'll promise this to me don't be around that kind of soul
6.
Have A Home 02:08
we use each other for personal gain only to leave or still worse to remain I think I'm playing your game I seem to be there when moments arise we have no memories attached to our lives except for those in disguise I need protection from those who try to use me I don't possess you and still you do this to me how could it be that you'd never want to have a home you have to wander to know you can breathe to be a sender and not to receive with the greatest of ease like tools of heaven we cross in our paths the words of treasure you'd said with a laugh I didn't want to be mad I need protection from those who try to use me I don't possess you and still you do this to me how could it be that you'd never want to have a home
7.
Open One 02:27
ageless warriors fallen to the ground in some deepness that captured every sound all the drummers gathered 'round parading through the streets of abandoned towns grass and apples lightly brush your bones words unspoken lay deep beneath the stones all the Earthly shrieking tones are lifeless in the flight logs of abandoned phones paisley banshees have called you to your doom fabric prisons that lock you in your room all the notes you wrote too soon you're naked and you're homeless underneath her moon you condemned me but that makes you my slave like the moments when you don't seem so brave all the gifts you never gave don't forget to buy your copy of 'No More Graves'
8.
you haven't been amazed with what we've done but have you ever felt the piercing gaze from everyone pull you apart, push down on you yes they do pull you apart, push down on you yes they do there's so much to be said do you agree I know that we can move ahead if you'd come with me pull you apart, push down on you yes they do pull you apart, push down on you yes they do
9.
you can have her, 'cause she'll only bring you harm you can love her, 'cause you're just a thing on her arm you can have her 'cause I know she's gonna drain your waters dry she doesn't need you she just needs a reason to cry oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah you can have her, man you wait 'til she rears her ugly head you can love her, but before too long I bet the love is dead you can have her 'cause she feels the need to leave everything behind she doesn't need you she just needs a piece of your mind oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
10.
you search for a key and you spy from a tree and you slip along corners between every note that you smoked was a cough in your throat and a song that you tossed in a dream and who was it on the hearing end? you slip through the woods in fear and then you finally make it back in the shadows he can't track, but he's tracing your steps you keep out of sight like a creep in the night and you sneak along numbers so plain you're sorry you looked what I wrote in my book but one of us can not have a name now you scrape underneath what I use for a seat and the remnants are all you can take for me to come in and sit right down, 'cause he don't want me comin' round and believin' that the world has been deceivin' can't you see how I'll get even?
11.
people didn't find it acceptable at the time we spoke our minds, we spoke our minds you can call it what you want I'm lookin' fine we spoke our minds, we spoke our minds when I take sick one day and lay my head to rest the papers all will talk of when I was my best I'll keep repeating myself all of the time we spoke our minds, we spoke our minds you should check out the world it's lookin' fine we spoke our minds, we spoke our minds will daybreak come tomorrow? you'll have to wait your turn the clock will strike your number, your candles cease to burn
12.
you tried to turn her and yourself against everyone else a dark cloud full of rain you complain but you don't want to help what to do? I can't trust you oh, and everyone sees through you you can't be wrong so I don't know what to say you'll get defensive or something so I'll keep away where to go? I don't know oh, and I told you so if I'm not just how you want me to be I'm not sorry no pity party thrown for you I'm not sorry I don't have all the answers and I'm not perfection myself but I know how to be a true friend to somebody else where to go? I don't know oh, and I told her so if I'm not just how you want me to be I'm not sorry no pity party thrown for you I'm not sorry and you're not sorry I'm not sorry
13.
Future Man 02:33
I'm very smart you know I'm reading all the time fine art and poetry and slavery and wine are you impressed with my intelligent today? extract the meaning of a stupid thing to say future man, future man, future man digital distraction has become something required you once felt peaceful but you just thought you were tired optic limitations have you permanently bummed drugs and transportation always got you on the run future man, future man, future man
