You're stuck in your own head
You can't get out
Your love's being tested
And failing no doubt
Try as you might
Move the wrong to the right
These things we un-learn
You can't make the sun rise
on your terms
You lie to yourself
About what's really felt
You sigh to yourself
About what's really left
Try as you might
Move the wrong to the right
These things they all burn
You can't make the sun rise
on your terms
You sleep in your own bed
As time runs out
The floors and the blankets
Hiding the shouts
Try as you might
Move the wrong to the right
These things they all turn
You can't make the sun rise
on your terms

Slow Change

Can you take a little time
And play this game with me
If I turn off my mind
You'll get the best of me
It's slow change
To rearrange
The bricks we've laid
Do this universal dance with me
And try to keep time
Come together and apart
As we repeat lines
It's slow change
To rearrange
The frames we've made
Can you think of the time
When this was meant to be
Or is all you find
Is all that's left with me
It's slow change
To rearrange
The walls we've placed

Logic Walks
02:10
|
|||
|
Words like springs in a jack in the box
The most seemingly innocent talks
Emotions run when logic walks
Can't reverse the damage done
An excuse there isn't one
The ten percent that isn't fun
Passing time in a ghost like trance
Only wanting half a chance
To change our step in this endless dance
Broken keys in rusty locks
Splintered feet on wooden docks
Emotions run when logic walks

The Empty is Half Glass
03:35
|

|
I've run a half marathon
In your shoes
It's not a competition
But I lose
We put the weight of the world
On the tiniest of shoulders
We break the ground that they walk
And they trip on the boulders
Crawling down again
Another conversation
Becomes a confrontation
As the sense that we make to ourselves
Gets lost in translation
We take the safest approach
And embrace our new quarters
As the walls that we shared
Become our new borders
Stop crawling back again
I've talked to politicians
Who show you
How easy it looks
They don't know you
You pay your weight in fools gold
For advice you've been told
Makes the best of the worst
As hearts try to move forward
Walking gently on
This fragile glass
