I spent the morning mending fences in my yard
Twisting lines and vines of ivy and maybe
Twenty shooting stars
Lit the path I took to get back home
It surely wasn't easy, now it's nearly twice as long
Don't forget along the way
You're gonna have to build a gate
Putting fences up is fine
People do it all the time
Last night I built a trellis in my mind
Climbing up into the heavens on a
Hundred twisting vines
Climbed with all my might but got there late
A sign said "Closed for Renovations, pick a different fate"
Don't forget along the way
You're gonna have to build a gate
Putting fences up is fine
People do it all the time
Putting all their hope and faith
Behind a wire keeps them safe
But don't forget along the way
You're gonna have to build a gate
Woke up in the morning all alone
Just in time to watch my neighbors build their
Fences out of stone
Tried everything I could to knock it down
If you build a longer table there's enough to go around!
Don't forget along the way
You're gonna have to build a gate
Putting fences up is fine
People do it all the time
Putting all their hope and faith
Behind a wire keeps them safe
But don't forget along the way
You're gonna have to build a gate

Knife Fight

Don't battle the heart with the mind
Like bringing a gun to a knife fight
Say it again if you're alright, alright
I used to be the kind of person I would hate
Committing fraud on several different social landscapes
And truth be told, I kind of miss the way it feels
I'll do my best reminding you
I can steal your love
Don't battle the heart with the mind
Like bringing a gun to a knife fight
Say it again if you're alright, alright
There was a time when I believed I knew the truth
Can't argue facts, although I know you wish you could
And truth be told, I kind of miss the way it feels
I'll do my best reminding you
I can steal your love
Don't battle the heart with the mind
Like bringing a gun to a knife fight
Say it again if you're alright, alright
I must confess, I'll do my best
Reminding you that I can steal your love

Hey there, easy on the Ritalin
Hurts like hell, you may be overdoing it
Out of my space, out of my time
Lights out and we're on the move again
1...2..3... better living here through chemistry
Out of my place, out of my mind
Night finds the hunger come around again
A..B.. see me living here in misery
In the wrong place, at the wrong time
Let go, you know we don't do this for fun
3..2..1.. and the show has only just begun
Out of my way, you're out of line
And let's break it into sections
All the little imperfections
Do you feel me?
I keep the damage to myself
Hey there, easy on the Ritalin
Hurts like hell, you may be overdoing it
Out of my space, out of my time
Lights out and we're on the move again
1...2..3... better living here through chemistry
Out of my place, out of my mind
And let's break it into pieces
And see what it releases
Do you feel me?
And let's break it into sections
All the little imperfections
Do you feel me?
I keep the damage to myself

Higher, Higher

You were the moon, and I was just a red balloon
Could never reach all the highest peaks where you shine bright
Above my head, among the stars where no one treads
The day was done, all the choices wrong yet you followed
Higher, higher
I was the sun, and you were just an illusion
The deed was done, I made a move and you followed
High on demand, you came around and you noticed
The day was done, all the choices wrong yet you've followed
Higher, higher
Heaven brought you home
Higher, higher
I was amazed by all the beauty and the grace
You have shown, with the damage done and you've swallowed
Another lie, another reason to stay gone
Step aside, cuz if you come at the king you better aim a little
Higher, higher
Silence all around me
Violence all around me
Sirens all a round me
Fires all around me
Heaven brought you home

Out of the hollow night, aw tiger burning bright
You were trouble when I met you
And we've only gotten better
Out of sight out of mind
Bend the truth to keep the lie
Safer than a day dream
Safer than the truth
Safer than a daydream
Safer than the truth
And every time I pull myself back together
I notice I'm shot through
And every exit wound looks like you
Every exit wound looks like you
There's no point in trying to hide or expose the fears we keep inside
I pray you don't see me fall or get lost in all the noise
It's gone if you close your eyes
The darkness can become the light
Safer than a daydream
Safer than the truth
Safer than a daydream
Safer than the truth
And every time I pull myself back together
I notice I'm shot through
And every exit wound looks like you
Every exit wound looks like you
Safer than a daydream
Safer than the truth

Sounds Good to Me
04:01
|

I've begun to question all the little things
Staple and deliver me the evidence
Set aside the verdict until smarter ones have had their say
Time reveals the truth down on the Avenue
When every broken heart becomes your revenue
Hearts make the worst decisions when it comes to
Playing it safe
Everybody thinks their right
No one wants to lose that fight
Regretfully
Together we can use our might
Surrender it to humankind
Sounds good to me
We've begun to push up through the shallow end
Eyes are filled with tears just remembering
Rubber bullets may break bones
But they will never bring us down
I remember how the light it changed that day
Table set for two like a holiday
Hearts make the worst decisions when it comes to
Playing it safe
Everybody thinks their right
No one wants to lose that fight
Regretfully
Together we can use our might
Surrender it to humankind
Sounds good to me
Everybody's lost their minds
No one wants to lose their rights
Thankfully
Together we can push aside
The differences we try to hide
Sounds good to me

AngelFire (For Nic)
04:21

I remember Halloween
Throwing papers in the trees
And everyone who passed that house
The morning after laughed out loud
At what we'd done
I remember Angelfire
Summer months spent young and wild
And it was there among the stone
On a mountain in New Mexico
That we found God
I never saw my brother cry
I got drunk the day he died
And every single passing week
The angel sings her prophecy
Before my eyes
How long will I miss you?
I remember late one night
We left behind the fire light
We didn't know where we would go
The night was long but we moved slow and
Found our way
Winter seems forever here
The coldest way to start the year
But hope can warm your bitter heart if
Darkness doesn't tear apart the
Best of you
The ship that parts the raging seas
I search for you, you cling to me
And drop our anchor down below and
Bid farewell the fiery glow
Our time has come
How long will I miss you?

O'er the Field

O'er the field and gone
Into the great divide
Waiting on her
O'er the field and gone
Into that great big sky
Waiting on her
Sick wind rattle my chain
And now my skins too tight
Waiting on her
Sick wind rattle my veins
And now my moons too high
Waiting on her
Cuz there's danger here of apathy
And I don't need your sympathy
The devil came around and did his worse
And all the sins of my past
Are catching up to me fast
And I don't know which one will get here first
Go on break my heart
Cuz there's danger here of apathy
And I don't need your sympathy
The devil came around and did his worse
And all the sins of my past
Are catching up to me fast
And I don't know which one will get here first
O'er the field and gone

It felt right for the first time in a long time
Windows and bridges to the good times
Don't ever be embarrassed for
Finding what you like
If it felt right for the first time in a long time
Did you see light in the darkness on your first try?
Was it empty? Was it hollow? Like a big lie?
Then you should bear witness
Every single time if it felt right for the first time in a long time
Yeah
For all of the drama
And for all of the pain
If it felt right for the first time in a long time
I can say that I'm sorry, but what's the point?
Yeah
Did it make sense when you woke up in the hotel?
With a worry and a secret that you won't tell
The truth is we all perish remembering the times
When it felt right for the first time
When it felt right for the first time in a long time
For all of the drama
And for all of the pain
If it felt right for the first time in a long time
I can say that I'm sorry, but what's the point?

This is Not My Head
04:49

Silly little man, with a silly little face
As he crawls the rubble here
"This is not my city
This is not the place"
As he pleads for their understanding
How can this be the only truth?
If when I'm in pain I dream of you?
This is not my head
This is not my heart
As you sort through all the ashes of all my mistakes
Don't forget
This is not my head
This is not my heart
Pretty little lady, with pretty little flaws
As she breathes in the aftermath
"This is not my future
This is nit my cause"
As she pleads for their understanding
How can this be the only way?
When nothing she does can ever change...
This is not my head
This is not my heart
As you sort through all the ashes of all my mistakes
Don't forget
This is not my head
This is not my heart
