1. _ Truce
Faultless in the eyes that I could never open
Wide enough to see me through
Much to my surprise it never orbits around
The things you should hold me to
I stand here, wondering
And I'm waiting
[Chorus]
My ear is twisted in all the thoughts
A glimpse of truce just because
It's always almost never close
I close my eyes hide the distance
Enchanted by the face of peace and when it turns
To sunken eyes and waterfalls
Unsatisfied with simple things entangled in the chords,
I can't take any calls
I stand here waiting
I'm calling
[Chorus]
Waiting around for some kind of peace
Hoping you find me in my need
My ear is twisted
It's always almost
[Chorus]

2. _ Blind
Cynical, just your way
You play the doubting Thomas
Feel the scars and wipe the stains
So you fight, and retreat
And talk yourself out of believing
In any peace that you can't see
Blind words you call
Blind words will fall
You're logical, you can't find
Any reason to believe in love
You are blind
Crucify, and deny, pass the blame and burn the mission
'Til dust remains and wash your hands
Blind words you call
Blind words will fall

3. _ Frail
Convinced of my deception
I've always been a fool
I fear this love reaction
Just like you said I would
A rose could never lie
About the love it brings
And I could never promise
To be any of those things
[Chorus]
If I was not so weak
If I was not so cold
If I was not so scared of being broken
Growing old
I would be
I would be
I would be
Blessed are the shallow
Depth they'll never find
Seemed to be some comfort
In rooms I try to hide
Exposed beyond the shadows
You take the cup from me
Your dirt removes my blindness
Your pain becomes my peace
[Chorus]
Frail

4. _ Overjoyed
You named me
Who am I
That I should company with
Something so divine
Mercy waits
Overjoyed
Prospects of finding freeing
Freeing me
[Chorus]
Love is the thing this time I'm sure
And I couldn't need you more now
The way that you saw things were so pure
Overjoyed
You name me
Entertain
Thoughts of peace
Can overcome anything
Mirror spin
Wicked tales
Here lies reflections of
Deceptions of
[Chorus]
Missing the me from you,
You gave to me
(Gave to me)
Don't like the one
I have created today
Crossing nameless
From the one I've earned
To be the one, the one you gave to me
You name me,
Name me
Finding freeing me
[Chorus: x2]
Overjoyed
Overjoyed

5. _ Crazy Times
You're cold that way
And that's why you say
The things that you say
You can't attract
The things that you lack
You're trying in vain
[Chorus]
It seems it's always the crazy times
You find you'll wake up and realize
It takes more than your saline eyes
To make things right
You spiral down
You've broken your crown
You don't feel like a queen
You've seen the proof
But you're still crying wolf
You'll never believe
[Chorus]
You try to climb a broken ladder
Grip the missing rungs
And fall down, down, down
Seems sometime ago you said
This wouldn't last
And now you sit here crying
Beside your bed
You feel left for dead
You kneel in the dark
It takes more than your saline eyes
To make things right
[Chorus]

6. _ Collide
Open up your box of sunshine
And smile as confetti comes raining down on you
You feel a lot like the good guy but do you know why
Everything's so blue
Well love is fire and the coals are barely burning
Cold fills the emptiness that fills this empty place
I taught you the walk but then you ran away from me
And that's not how it's supposed to be
I I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
Something's killing me!
Tearful confessions have watered down and broken down
The chance for unrequited love to finally reach its wall
You're waiting for the axe to fall
Can't you see it lying on the ground?
You could be the best one at cleaning up this mess
Be the best one, be the best one, be the best one

7. _ Weighed Down
Light of the world
Are you still here?
And are we illuminating?
When love becomes a delicate display
So weak dissolved by anything
Love lies here waiting all alone
Can a king be a king
Weighed down?
Our hearts a bubble maker's dream
Moved on by winds of everything
As we deny that love is still the king
Not as weak as we make him out to be
Love lies here waiting all alone
Can a king be a king
Weighed down?
Weighed down
Weighed down
Weighed down
Weighed down
|

8. _ Much Afraid
Empty again
Sunken down so far
So scared to fall
I might not get up again
So I lay at your feet
All my brokenness
I carry all of my burdens to you
[Chorus]
All of these things
I've held up in vain
No reason nor rhyme
Just the scars that remain
Of all of these things
I'm so much afraid
Scared out of my mind
By the demons I've made
Sweet Jesus, you never ever let me go
Oh, sweet Jesus, never ever let me go
So happy to love
Yet so far to go
You lead me on to where I've never been before
[Chorus]

9. _ Liquid
Arms nailed down
Are you telling me something?
Eyes turned out
Are you looking for someone?
[Chorus]
This is the one thing
The one thing
The one thing that I know
Blood stained brow
Are you dying for nothing?
Flesh and blood
Is it so elemental?
[Chorus ]
Blood stained brow
He wasn't broken for nothing.
Arm nailed down
He didn't die for nothing
He didn't die for nothing
[Chorus]

10. _ Hymn
Oh refuge of my hardened heart
Oh fast pursuing lover come
As angels dance around Your throne
My life by captured fare You own
Mot silhouette of trodden faith
Nor death shall not my step be guide
I'll pirouette upon my grave
For in Your path I'll run and hide
[Chorus]
Oh gaze of love so melt my pride
That I may in Your house but kneel
And in my brokenness to cry
Spring worship unto Thee
When beauty breaks the spell of pain
The bludgeoned heart shall burst in vain
But not when love be pointed king
And truth shall Thee forever reign
[Chorus]
Sweet Jesus carry me away
Form cold of night and dust of day
In ragged hour or salt worn eye
Be my desire, my well spring lye
[Chorus: x2]
Spring worship unto Thee
Spring worship unto Thee

11. _ Sinking
It's not my problem anymore
You see it never really was
So you can stop caring as you call it
And I'll be fine right here
You see that I can play
A pretty convincing role
So I don't need you
I don't think I need you
[Chorus]
But you see through my forever lies
And you are not believing
And I see in your forever eyes
And you are forever healing
You can't hear what I'm not saying
And I can hold out long enough
Treading water I keep from sinking
I'm not one for reaching
You see that I can play
A pretty convincing role
So I don't need you
I don't think I need you
[Chorus]
You see that I can play
A pretty convincing role
So I don't need you
I don't think I need you
[Chorus: x2]

12. _ Tea And Sympathy
Fare thee well
Trade in all our words for tea and sympathy
Wonder why we tried for things that could never be
Play our hearts lament like an unrehearsed symphony
Not intend
To leave this castle full of empty rooms
Our love the captive in the tower never rescued
And all the victory songs
Seem to be playing out of tune
But it's not the way
That it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
'Cause it's not the way
That it has to be
You begin
And all your words fall to the floor and break like china cups
And the waitress grabs a broom and tries to sweep them up
I reach for my tea and slowly drink in
[Chorus]
'Cause it's not the way
That it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
'Cause it's not the way
That it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
So fare thee well
Words the bag of leaves that fill my head
I could taste the bitterness and call the waitress instead
She holds the answer, smiles and asks one teaspoon or two
[Chorus: x2]
Don't trade us for tea and sympathy
Don't trade us for tea and Sympathy
We can work it out
Don't trade us for tea and Sympathy
Don't trade us for tea and Sympathy
We can work it out
Don't trade us for tea and Sympathy
We can work it out

13. _ Five Candles (You Were There)
A promise or a dare
I would jump if I knew you'd catch me
Staring over the edge
I can't tell if you'll be here for me
I close my eyes and make a wish
Turn out the lights and take a breath
Pray that when the wick is burned
You would say that it's all about love
[Chorus]
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide wide open
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
You were never here
I remember you said
Love was more than your good intentions
Empty boxes on the floor
Things I never asked you for
I pray that when the wick is burned
You would say that it's all about love
[Chorus]
I can't see the promise of
Excuses you fall upon
I pray to God not holding on
To things you've left undone
[Chorus: x2]
You were there when I
You were there when I
You were there when I needed you

14. _ Unforgetful You
I never minded calling You a King
If that meant that I could count on You
To give me everything
I never thought to ask You
I always thought You knew
It was never my intention to question You
You never minded calling me a child
Well I guess that's how I acted all the while
But You live through every tantrum You see through every lie
Though they seem to be more common
I just wanted You to know why oh why
Unforgetful You, unforgetful
Unforgetful You, so unforgetful
You never minded giving us the stars
Then showing us how blind and unaware of You we are
You painted me a picture and showed me how to see
Though I just won't behold it
Unless it pertains to me

15. _ Fade To Grey
It's not hard to know what you're thinking
When you look down on me now
Your trance of love is seeking
To turn this world around
But in my state of blind confusion
No God can pull me out
I see your love is willing
To turn me inside out
And then I see you there
The lonely tears I cry
I wish they'd release me
It's in despair that I find faith
Summon the night to bow down to day
When ignorance is bliss
Save me from myself
[Chorus]
And then I see you there
With your arms open wide and you try to embrace me
These lonely tears I cry
They keep me in chains and I wish they'd release me
Cold is the night but
Colder still is the heart made of stone, turned from clay
And if you follow me
You'll see all the black, all the white fade to gray
Fade to gray
Fade to gray
[Chorus: x2]

16. _ No One Loves Me Like You
Collapsing was much softer
Still falling always hurt
Only after sensing your love
For always ever burned
You justified my folly
My affluent disguise
Removed revealing nothing
Yet nothing unforgiven lies
Unforgiven lies
No one loves me like you
No one loves me the way you do
No one loves me like you
No one loves me the way the way that you do
To touch the rose unfearful
Is to meet the thorn
And pierce the heart's emotion
And feel the emptiness no more
Emptiness no more
Took some time to realize I've fallen
|

17. _ Goodbye, Goodnight
A flower for your vanity, a penny for your thoughts
About the world's insanity and how we've gotten lost
Strike up the band to play a song as we go waltzing by
And fake a smile as we all say goodbye
Goodbye, oh goodbye
Say a prayer for recognition, kiss the ones you love
Gather up the ammunition, sigh for all the lost
Strike up the band to play a song as we go waltzing by
And fake a smile as we all say goodbye
Raise a glass for ignorance, drink a toast to fear
The beginning of the end has come that's why we all are here
Strike up the band to play a song and try hard not to cry
And fake a smile as we all say goodbye
Goodbye

18. _ Famous Last Words
You say you heard every word but I watched you turn away
Your eyes grew colder than winter
"Love is so intrusive " I thought I heard you say
And laugh so unconvincingly
Famous last words "I'm not ready yet"
"I won't be gone a minute"
Narrow is the road and too high a price to pay
When loneliness is such a sanctuary
Empty are the musings and wasted are the days
When you say you were only waiting
And famous last words, "I'm not ready yet"
"I won't be gone a minute" and I won't forget
Famous last words
If tomorrow never comes, will I ever know that I was in love?
I was in love
In love
You say you heard every word, I watched you turn away
You were only waiting

19. _ Sad Clown
Say how's the weather so I look out the window
To brighten my soul but I can't control the rain
That keeps falling
Smile on the outside that never comes in
A comedy mystery irony tragedy
So I scream "let the show begin"
You break me open turn on the light
Stumble inside with me with me
Do I entertain you?
Do I preoccupy you with my wit to cover this lie?
Are you mesmerized?
Do you think me faithful, do you think me a clown?
I picked out this shirt, I put on this hat
I wore all this paint just for you

20. _ Portrait Of An Apology
Look what I've done
This picture I've painted
It looks like my heart
Or what still remains
Convinced of the weight
Your interpretations
Are not what I see
I wish they could be
I remember it much redder
I remember it much brighter
[Chorus]
Can you stay for a while
Try to imagine this
Could you be for a while
I can't remember it
Could you fall for a while
I can't escape from this
I'll try to explain
The way that the frame
Doesn't quite fit the image
Or surround the edge
It stands on display
What do you see?
Behold all the new grey
What's become of the old me
I remember it much redder
I remember it much brighter
[Chorus]
Calling, crying, ashamed of what I am not
Really failing, falling into this cage and I can't escape
I can't escape
Look what I've done
This picture I've painted
Doesn't quite fit
Or surround the edge
I remember it much redder
[Chorus]
I can't escape, I can't escape, I can't escape
