Sing Me to Sleep
05:39

I've been awake for hours,
or maybe it's been days.
Running hot, I'm drifting.
See the moke clouds in my wake.
I need a heart attack,
to rest this weary mind.
I need a chain reaction:
something that might bind me
We cannot stop these feelings,
they've been with us since birth
Each generation's question:
how do we measure worth?
We used our skin as canvas,
to mark the passing time.
We learned to read the stars,
for the trouble close behind.
That's why I ask you to
Sing
Sing me to sleep
When the dawn breaks
I want to be deep
Sing
Sing me to sleep
If the bough breaks
What can we keep
There was a moment, fleeting
when I first learned your name.
I may have known the sunrise,
but I never knew the flame.
You were the heart attack
that arrived just on time,
to start the chain reaction
when you put your hand in mine.
That's why I ask you to
Sing
Sing me to sleep
When the dawn breaks
I want to be deep
Sing
Sing me to sleep
If the bough breaks
What can we keep

Like the World Is New

Oh
Once again
Here we are
Under the stars
Oh
There you go
Playing games
With your heart
I'm wondering
How long
You can keep this up
You can lie
To me
And them
But you cant escape
Not till you see
Like the world is new
Come on and see
See like the world is new
Oh
Once again
Here we are
Could it be the last time?
You can huff and puff and blow the house down
But it won't change a thing
Not till you see
Not till you see
Like the world is new
Come on and see
See like the world is new

Hello friends
Welcome back
Time to have
A heart attack
3 words
Stuck inside
So many years
They almost died
An open mind
An open heart
Now here comes
The scary part
3 words
From my mouth
If no one hears
Do they make a sound
But I feel whole again
I feel whole again
The stage is set
The curtains rise
The audience
And all their eyes
3 words
Tumble out
There they go
They hit the ground
But I feel whole again
I feel whole again

Telephone

Telephone
Sitting on the table
She sees it flashing but she don't care
She let it go to voicemail
He knows she's there
He lets it ring a few times
Doesn't try to leave a message
Doesn't try and call back
Oh how do we find ourselves back here?
And I cannot
Understand the virtue
Of this cat and mouse game
When all it does is hurt you
Telephone
Tell me how
will we
ever find our way
back home?

Lifeboat

Who knows where to go
Water ebbs, water flows
Lay back in the tides
Tone deaf and tongue tied
Nodoby knows just where to go
The water ebbs, the water flows
A gentle hand, a stolen kiss
Or a raging tide that you resist
Nobody cares, it's everything
Where a stream ends, where it begins
Nobody knows just where to go
The water ebbs, the water flows
Who knows where to go
Water ebbs, water flows
Stand tall against the tide
Fists clenched, wild-eyed
Nobody told you it would be like this
This war we wage, sentience
A raging tide you fight against
Yeah nobody told you it would be like this
Down the streams and rivers, flow
To the great lakes or the oceans, go
You might find a kindred soul
Another raft in the great unknown
Will you stop and float with me
Or will you leave and let me be
Is this the way to build a world
For every boy, every girl
No matter what, I'll pray for you
As the rain starts, and the thunder too
Nobody told you it would be like this
Nobody told you it would be like this
Nobody told you
Nobody told you
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
