Just a show
In the middle of a room - windows shut out
In the middle of your mind the world is far now
You see what you make - and only that
There’s always something in your head
And it sounds how you make it go
You spin the world around - you said
You believe that you make it so
I hope that someday soon you’ll know
This is just who you think you are
I hope you realize it’s all show, just a show
In the edges all around there’s someone here
To the edges of your life - they have gone there
You turn out your head - and burn again
There’s always something in your head
And it sounds how you make it go
You spin the world around - you said
You believe that you make it so
I hope that someday soon you’ll know
This is just who you think you are
I hope you realize it’s all show, just a show

I'll bring you

I’ll bring you
I’ve been around before and I’ve seen a few
I’ve had my share and now I know that things pull through
And baby I want you
Everyone runs on ground that’s been trampled on
I wanna go somewhere nobody has gone
And baby I’ll bring you
I always breathe you, always know you’re the best thing, everything
I’ll always take you home
So it’s a year and now we go again
Wanna be still - to pause this tumbling on
And stand alone with you
I always breath you, always know you’re the best thing, everything
I’ll always warm you, always dream you
The one thing - the best thing
I’ll always bring you home

The way we are

The way we are
Don’t wanna make it bad, don’t wanna let it go
Some people never get back to what they used to have
I wanna make the time, don’t ever wanna let us hide
Don’t have to make it bad, don’t have to let it go
Cause every minute we’ve got a better way to go
I wanna keep it right, don’t ever wanna make us hide
Each piece becomes the way we are now
Each second holds the way we are now
We’re every piece of sand
We’re every breath and sound
And I can see ahead, and I believe we have
Cause there within us is all we ever need to have
We’re gonna make the time and be the thing we always find
Each piece becomes the way we are now
Each second holds the way we are now
We’re every piece of sand
We’re every breath and sound
I don’t wanna someday find we lost our way and never noticed
I don’t wanna leave behind what’s left behind and never notice
We’re every piece of sand
We’re every breath and sound

Hey, life

Hey, life
Here I am, somewhere in this home
Here I swim deep into the cold
And it begins, the sight of what will end
Cause life always wins
Old and young all within these bones
Breathe and bring in, is all that we’ve known
And it begins, the feeling of an end
Cause life always wins
Hey Life, coming up on you
Hey Love, running after you
Hey Life, creeping over you
It goes no matter what you do
Here we are somehow come to land
Here we are, living what we’ve known
But it will begin somewhere in the end
Cause life always wins
Hey Life, coming up on you
Hey Love, running after you
Hey Life, creeping over you
It goes no matter what you do
It comes when it wants to
It comes how it cares to
It comes when it wants you
It comes
Hey Life, coming up on you
Hey Love, running after you
Hey Life, creeping over you
It goes no matter what you do

What you made
02:26

What you made
Come out of the daze into...
So you can realize what plays into...
What you give is what you take
I wish you’d think before you make
Bring it into sight
You’re well past the point to lie
I think you’re better off not to hide who you are
Even now you wonder why you’re here
Still you wind him up inside to stay here
But what you give is what you’ll take
You can’t close this cracking gate
Bring it into sight
You’re way past the point to lie
You’d be better off not to hide who you are
And you say it’s your disease, that you don’t know what you need
So you bring him close but you never let him free

It never dies

It never dies
I’m getting close, I’m walking near
So close I almost can hear
I feel it now how it drifts apart
It ends but never starts
Oh, I’m tired of waiting around always and always
Oh, I wish I’d lift off this ground someday, someday
Cause I keep pushing on, and it’s just dragging on
It’s hard to keep alive a dream that never dies
It’s like I’m balancing - one foot on every edge
Can’t fall and can’t step away
I brought out all I had, my hands up on the ledge
Waiting for something to start
Oh, I’m tired of waiting around always and always
Oh, I wish I’d lift off this ground someday, someday
Cause I keep pushing on, and it’s just dragging on
It’s getting harder now to see what’s never found
And I keep working through - nothing left to do
It’s hard to keep alive a dream that never dies

The rolling beneath you

The rolling beneath you
Even if we have it made - you never know
Even if we think we’re safe, it all can go
Even though we want the best there’s no control of it all
What a shame to waste what could have been
What a shame to blame who may have been
What a way to bring another crying end
I watch you run in madness
I watch you paint the things you hate
The rolling there beneath you is telling you to stand in place
I can see you how you were some time ago
I believe there was a time you could let go
Maybe you can find the way to getting back where you’ll know...
That it’s a shame to waste what could have been
Its a shame to blame who may have been
What a waste to bring another crying end
I watch you run in madness
I watch you paint the things you hate
The rolling there beneath you is telling you to stand in place

Begging love

Begging love
You have come from a time before
You’re begging love, and taking none
Ask for the sun and hide when it comes
You’re begging love, and taking none
So hard to take, you want us to give what you won’t take
So blind are you - there before you handing you the thing that you lost
So sad for you - can’t console you when all you see is what you have lost
Your words are full of times before
You’re living them and dreaming here
You gaze into holds, what was there you can’t recall
You’re living then and dreaming here
So hard to take, you want us to give what you won’t take
So blind are you - there before you handing you the thing that you lost
So sad for you - can’t console you when all you see is what you have lost
There inside you - they all gave what you wanted but you don’t see the cost
You have come from a time before
Begging love, and taking none
