Caught in time so far away from where our hearts really wanted to be - Reaching out to find a way to get back to where we'd been - And if summer left you dry with nothing left to try - This Time...... Caught at a distance from myself and there was no one there to know - What could I do? - I have learned sometimes a need can run too deep and we throw away the things we most wanted to keep and inside we lie over and over again - This Time...... If you don't now you'd better learn to believe me when I say I'm going to build a wall around this town Around these hearts and hands.
"Deeper Than Inside"
I'm going down, going down, deeper than inside
--the world is my fuse--
And once inside gonna tear till there's nothing left to find And you wonder just how close close-up can be? Can't you see? Can't you see? I had a dream all my thoughts turned to real lips
--and the world is my fuse--
And just a dream, just a dream can bring me to my knees And you wonder just how tight skin deep can be? Can't you see? Can't you see? I'm going down, going down, deeper than inside
--the world is my fuse--
And from inside, outside just can fall apart And you wonder just how lost inside can be?
Try me. Try me.
"For Want Of"
I—I believed—memory might mirror no reflections on me,
I—I believed—that in forgetting I might set myself free.
But I woke up this morning with a piece of past caught in my throat… And then I choked.
I bled—I tried to hide the heart from the head. And I—I said I bled—In the arms of a girl I'd barely met.
And I woke up this morning with the present in splinters on the ground— And then I drowned.
And if I can't see it’s for want of—you
You said, "I see" If there's nothing here then it’s probably mine My—My turn to see—if there's nothing here it will always be mine, mine
But I woke up this morning with a piece of past caught in my throat— And then I choked.
I—I guess I've learned the taste of days that will always burn. I—I guess I've learned if it’s in the corner of my eye I can't always turn.
And I woke up this morning with the present in splinters on the ground—and then I drowned.
And if I can't see it’s for want of—you
You.
"Hain's Point"
I read somewhere that every wall's a door to something new Well if that's true-why can't i get through?
Cause I'm not who I thought I was And I can't explain
But it feels like...I'm falling through a hole in my heart Just falling through a hole in my heart Don't try to reach for nothing at all
I could walk around--fall in love with a face or two But it wouldn't be you--no it wouldn't be you
Cause you're not who I thought you were
No I can't explain No, no I can't explain
But it feels like I'm falling through a hole in my heart Falling through a hole in my heart. Don't try to reach for nothing at all.
I can't, I can't explain.
"All There Is"
It's more than love And it's less than love It's what I give to you. It's more than love And it's less than love It's what I give to you, you, you.
All there is is in the knowing that this never had to end. All there is to know.
If I could take, heart in hand, what I'd give to you. If I could take, heart in hand, what I'd give to you, you.
All there is is in the knowing that this never had to end. All there is to know. This never had to end.
It's more than love And it's less than love It's what I give to you. It's more than love And it's less than love It's what I give to you, you, you.
All there is is in the knowing that this never had to end. All there is to know.
"Drink Deep"
Drink deep, it's just a taste, and it might not come this way again, I believe in moments, transparent moment, moments in grace when you've got to stake your faith
(but why do I confine, when all I want is release?)
It moves inside you, it stays outside you, and its not something that I could prove, or could chose, to be moved. Yes its a promise, and its a threat, and its not something that I'll let you for get, not just yet, not just yet
(but why do I chase when all I want is near?)
If its not the rule then its always the case, good intentions get fractured, good intentions get replaced, so close to reach but so hard to hold, the only chance you get is past your control, it's so hard, it's so hard.
Drink deep, its just a taste and it might not come this way again, time to surrender, sweet surrender of all things in time, all things one place, one place.
"Other Way Around"
Maybe what you've seen isn't part of me at all It must belong to someone, but not to me
Maybe I was too quick - too quick to turn my head But I had to go - just to get around
Other way around The world it wants you weak Another way around
I was so young - I didn't know what it meant to be hurt and then to hurt
I was so young, but it's so hard to stay still I was so young, and it's getting harder still just to get around - the other way around
Maybe tomorrow - hope won't come stillborn today And maybe tomorrow - sounds won't fill in for words to say
And we'll get around We'll get around The other way around
"Theme (If I Started Crying)"
Cruelty is the better part of your honesty And when you're so direct its just for yourself to protect And if I started crying, would you start crying? Now I started crying - why are you not crying?
Sometimes--when I--see a world inside Sometimes--when I--I try--I really try
And hope's just another rope to hang myself with To tie me down till something real comes around And if I started crying would you start crying? And if I started crying why are you not crying?
"By Design"
Time heals all wounds they say But the self inflicted won't just fade away And in these shifting tides of blame why are you suprised to see your name? It's such a drag Time got the best of you Things you gave you say were taken Explaination piled over excuse
And so the story goes But by your own design And if you look to me to find you Then my eyes will pass right though
Believe me I had wished We could have avoided this Please dont ask me to explain All the things that caused your pain I only want you to realize Passivity equals compliance Let it slip right through your hands Become the victims of other's demands
And so the story goes But by your own design And if you look to me to find you Then my eyes will pass right though Pass right through
"Remainder"
We are all trapped in prisons of the mind, it's a hard sensibility but we'll see it through in time but when words come between us Noiseless in the air Believe me, I know it's so easy to despair.
but don't Tonight i'm talking to myself There's no one that I know as well Thoughts collide without a sound Frantic, fighting to be found
And I've found things in this life that still are real a remainder refusing to be concealed And I've found the answer lies in a real emotion Not the self-indulgence of a self-devotion
Too many situations Left with too little to say So we try, we try to feel our way And if decisions cause divisions Tell me who's to blame? Pick a target for convenience When there are other ways
So don't Tonight i'm talking to myself There's no one that I know as well Thoughts collide without a sound Frantic, fighting to be found
And I've found things in this life that still are real a remainder refusing to be concealed I've found the answer lies in a real emotion Not the self-indulgence of a self-devotion
"Persistent Vision"
I was the champion of forgive forget But I haven't found a way To forgive you yet And though I know you and I are through All my thoughts are lines converging in on you
I wish sometimes, the mind were blind
I see - What must be seen To feel - What can't be real To know - What's done is done - it goes on and on
I am the victim of a persistent vision It tracks me down with it's precision And though I know you're not in my eyes I can't seem to clear you from my mind
I wish sometimes, the mind were blind
I see - What must be seen To feel - What can't be real To know - What's done is done - goes on and on
Help me. I can't see at all.
I was the champion of forgive forget But I havent a way to forgive you yet and though I know you're not in my eyes I can't clear persistent vision
"Nudes"
I want to talk, like I'm talking to myself I want to reach, yeah I could be someone else And when a touch, When a touch becomes to much You know, I could be someone else And I - yeah I know enough not to hope to know But it's so hard, 'cause the night can fill my eyes And you give me some distance, I can get so hard to find And when a word, when a word cuts in too close I can always get so hard to find And I - I know enough Not to hope to know It was so clear, to have not been clear at all I got so far to have come against a wall The first, the final, no middle Well it seems so real to me, To each is own illusions If I could only believe
"End On End"
I’ve had days of end on end Where nothing changed cause nothing began. Restless movement in an empty room, Gathering shadows of a darkened blue. And oh- it feels so strange- when it comes again. Cycles of end on end, edges begin to blend, time Following time, a pattern becomes defined. I had a feeling from end to end. Tried to catch it before it started again. Pushed it away to force a laugh, But inside I didn’t have the breath. And oh-it feels so strange – when it comes again. But I’ve got it now, I’ve got the rhythm down. Cycles of end on end. But if one wave stops, another begins. End on end on end on end on end on end on end on end on end on end on end on end on end on end on end on end.
"All Through A Life"
All through a life And through the lives that came before The ties that bind to blind Of those that came before I'm looking back And in looking back I hope to get beyond And start to mend all those days That they left undone
But in my veins a trace remains
And to want in the face of need Well it just seems so obscene But that's all thats left And that's all they've left to leave And then they point to themselves and say, "I look like you." And it hurts to hear and so it must be true
But in my veins a trace remains
But I think it's going to be alright I think it's going to be o.k. I think of those days that came before And together we will mark these days
"Hidden Wheel"
It never seemed that close to me No it never seemed all that much to see But now it feels so real feels so real to me But now it feels so much Feels so much to see
Is this the, The first time I've seen the color of this room? Is this the, The first time?
Yes, I had a taste but I did not swallow And if I went it was just to follow And now a question was asked of me But now there's a question being asked of me
Is this the, The first time I've seen the size of these walls? Is this the, The first time? Yes.
Now I'm the angry son Everything I've learned was wrong I'm the burning door Once I'm opened I can't be closed I found a hidden wheel And it rolls to reveal that I'm the angry son I'm the angry son
"In Silence/Words Away"
Sometimes it's not the giving When what's given is gone and for free But in taking what it took from me And I'm not living In someone else's eyes I am lived Recreated in expectation so once again I'm missed And left
Far, far away from you
The only way out is through myself to you With words that do no justice but what have I left to use? Because I can't stand this silence, it speaks too loud for me A song that fails and fails me once again denied release And left
Words, words away from you From where my heart wants to be
Is there a beauty in promises broken?
"Patience"
Wanting to understand To understand a hand thats not my hand In a moment to be defined All clear lines of all that, that could mean And I'm wanting eyes That wont justify or despise all they see and a silence inside To help me decide and hide in me But oh, I get so tired of waiting I get so tired of waiting I get so tired of waiting When these skies won't fall Wanting a chance Just a chance that cannot be missed Because in seconds that pass Never there, it's just another kiss And I'm wanting a heart And hearts that won't just beat on their own Because every beat without purpose or thought You know.. Makes me feel more alone
And I'm so tired of wating I get so tired of waiting Waiting When the skies won't fall
