Six Sides
02:51
|
|||
|
It's on the tip of my tongue
It's going to roll off my finger
Surely as the sun
Will still be there tomorrow
We only came this far
To come right back to the start
We could only dig so deep
Before we came up empty handed
We could only lose so much sleep
Before we gave up and disbanded
We looked the other way
You stuck your finger right back in
So we rolled the dice
Now we know where this road ends

Not by a Long Shot
03:51
|
|||
|
You lead me down that path
But I fall behind
I search for your footprints but
They’re nowhere in sight
Pre-Chorus:
It seems like every time I’m
Trying to catch up to you
Why do I keep on falling?
When I need to see this through
Chorus:
This is the story of my life
Accusations from my pride
I’m nowhere in the ballpark
Not even close – not by a long shot
Save me from my wicked mind
Save me from myself
Save me from this confusion
Show me the light

Too Weak
02:18
|
|||
|
This is my plead, this is your greed
It’s the root of my indecision
How can I win? You always win
That’s how this story reads
Chorus:
I’m burning out
I’ve lost my cause
It’s not your fault
I guess I’m just too weak
I’m out of touch, you’re out of sense
I can’t depend on you for my faith
How can I win? You always win
You never even gave it a chance
Bridge:
Somebody told me that life isn’t fair
But I believe there is some fairness
This ultimatum is not enough
But nothing seems to satisfy you

Clay to Mold
03:28
|
|||
|
I refuse to drop my guard
I know that the going can be hard
Soon the moment will arrive
And I’m ready to take a dive
Chorus:
Don’t put me down as a soul in search
Do you see me as your clay to mold?
Don’t run me down, you’re cynical
I know that I can’t make it on my own strength
How clear can clarity be
When everyone’s misunderstanding me?
But soon the moment will arrive
And I’m ready to take a dive
Bridge:
I’m trying to see this world through new eyes
I’m trying to escape this paradigm and live a new life
|

Afraid
03:19
|
|||
|
You took me out like yesterday’s trash
You pushed me down the elevator shaft
Letdowns are sweet, like the honey of your lies
You killed my hopes and dreams for life
What did I do to deserve this pain?
Why did I care about your vanity game?
Failure is sweet like the honey of your lies
This is all I ever wanted, why did I even try?
Chorus:
It’s right in front of your nose
You’ll run away afraid
Because it’s all you ever knew
It’s all you’ve ever got to lose
Bridge:
I won’t be fooled again
I don’t want to be your friend
I won’t be fooled again
I won’t comply with your demands

Human
02:33
|
|||
|
Summer has come and gone
And I’ve been strung along for much too long
Please don’t patronize me
I’m not the me you knew yesterday
You’re not ready for the pain
And I’m not going to play this game
Time to go our seperate ways
I’ll let go of all those wasted days
Chorus:
It’s been swell, I’m not well
I won’t dwell on your mistakes
We’re all human here
I want to yell, I’m in hell
But I’ll wish you well, wish you well
We’re all human here
Bridge:
I hope you forgive me for my arrogance, my righteousness
I hope you forgive me if I betrayed your trust
Alternate Chorus:
It’s been swell, I’m not well
I won’t dwell on my mistakes
We’re all human here
I want to yell, I’m in hell
But I’ll rectify, pacify
We’re all human here

Cartwheels of Life
02:42
|
|||
|
The passage of time has been cruel
I’m learning to do what I can do
You came to me with wide open eyes
But I’m afraid I’ll never understand
I’ll take with me the memories
A mere speck of light in the sky
For the time I know I’ll be fine
Those days will remain in my mind
Chorus:
The heat, the sun, every day on the run
Cartwheels of life leaping steadily forward
Bridge:
The world is spinning, spinning around me
But it’s not so bad when you’re here with me

Pin the Tail
02:56
|
|||
|
Once everything was easy
When we were on that path
We had our goals in sight
And we didn’t look back
You were wrong
But I was off the map
We lost our faith
And we couldn’t get it back
Chorus:
Whatever happens to you
Wherever you may go
Please don’t forget
That we care for you
When times get tough
And you feel like you’ve had enough
Don’t lose your faith
Don’t ever lose your faith

Between the Lines
03:58
|
|||
|
I can’t align myself with endless contradiction
I can’t define myself with anybody’s system
My past informs my decisions every day
My stubborn ways will change, but maybe not today
No, not today
Chorus:
Oh, there’s something more than this between the lines
No, there’s nothing more to this – just another rhyme
Complacency is a form of greed we intend to purchase
We’re creatures of habit that lack devotion
My past affects my choices every day
This time of struggle will pass, but maybe not today
No, not today
Bridge:
Your fingerprints are evident, but inconspicuous
The beauty in what’s not seen will be seen

Live for this Day
03:26
|
|||
|
Life is a journey full of ups and downs
Sometimes my memories are my only source of comfort
But I want to make peace with the here and now
This is all I have and I don’t want to take it for granted
Pre-Chorus:
I want to treasure everything that I used to be
I want to embrace everything that I’ve become
Chorus:
I want to believe that this life is worth living for
I want to conceive a purpose that I never did before
I want to live for this day
I’m diseased; I can’t live my life this way
I’m in pain; I can’t stop this aching in my heart
No matter how hard I try I live in my memories
And I can’t escape this prison that I’ve created
Alternate Pre-Chorus:
There must be a reason and a meaning for this life
I can’t see it now, but I’ll never give it up
