RIVERS WILL RISE
Look to the sky and you’ll see where this storm can be found
Wondering why all the more this year will come down
Rivers will rise, mountains will be our home
Look to the sky, all the rain had to come from the storm
I think they’re telling us that we’re not taking care enough
I think they’re telling us that we’re not taking care enough
I think they’re telling us that we’re not taking care...
Rivers will rise and the mountains will be our home
What a demise all the rain that we’ve always known
Flooding the street, turning sidewalk to ocean floor
Look to the sky, we will be washed away by the storm
I think they’re telling us that we’re not taking care enough
I think they’re telling us that we’re not taking care enough
I think they’re telling us that we’re not taking care...
Rivers will rise, now sit back and watch it unfold... (repeat)

AN EMPTY ROOM
All these open ends
Storm the evidence
I’m losing faith my friends
But what do I know?
These ideas of fear
With happiness in steer
All the way through the years
Like winter brings snow
I guess I have seen an empty room in front of me
I guess I have seen an empty room
I will tell you why
I’m hoping for the tide
To wash away these times
And what I have seen
I guess I have seen an empty room in front of me
I guess I have seen an empty room
If you believe you can
Act like you were then
Remembering when and were you have been
I guess I have been to that empty room inside of me
I guess I have seen an empty room

As I Go Away

AS I GO AWAY
With my back turned I’d like to stay
As I go away
The ink will stain on this blank page
As I go away
You say that there’s more to this night
So maybe when the circus comes to town
I’ll take a ride
Maybe I should go away
Maybe I should go away
Maybe I should go away while you stay here
Out on the road
Where I start to steer
To turn around someday
You’ll find me gone
Absent from here
Well I just couldn’t wait
You say that there’s more to this night
So maybe when the circus comes to town
I’ll take a ride
Maybe I should go away
Maybe I should go away
Maybe I should go away while you stay here
With my back turned I’d like to stay
As I go away
You promised me there was more to this life
So on that day the circus is in town I’ll take a ride
Maybe I will go away
Maybe I will go away
Maybe I will go away while you stay here
Maybe I will go away while you stay here

Where Your Beauty Lies

WHERE YOUR BEAUTY LIES
Don’t look so sad to other people
Because it’s right in your heart
Where your beauty lies
Don’t look so sad to other people
It’s right in your heart
It’s right in your heart
The best of intentions won’t harm you
Because it’s you with the brightest bulb in your eyes
Don’t look so sad to other people
It’s all in you
It’s all in you
You’re living in a world
Where you’re worried all the time
You’re trying to change a world
Where you cannot change your mind
Don’t look so sad to other people
Because its right in your heart
Where your beauty lies
Don’t look so sad to other people
It’s right in your heart
It’s right in your heart

HOME (NOW I KNOW)
So I will take all my troubles today
And put them in a box to throw them away
For me to know what it feels like to really be at home
And what it feels like to be safe
Now I know what it feels like to really be at home
So I will try to call when I’m away to say goodnight
Or smile when I leave just to say goodbye
Would you tell me what is easier than living and breathing
When you are standing by
Now I know what it feels like to really be at home

Thinking Of You
06:02

THINKING OF YOU
What does it mean, what does it mean
To wake from a dream, to wake from a dream
And be thinking of you, be thinking of you
So how can I wake, oh how can I wake this way?
What did I say, what did I say
To throw love away, to throw love away
And to lose sight of you, to lose sight of you
So how can I face, oh how can I face this truth?
That I might lose it all, I might lose it all
While chasing you, while chasing you
What does it mean, what does it mean
To wake from a dream, to wake from a dream
I was thinking of you, I was thinking of you
So how can I see, oh how can I see the truth
That I might lose it all, I might lose it all,
So I’m chasing you, I’m chasing you

Love (Like You Used To)

LOVE (LIKE YOU USED TO)
Like a wave would you wash over me
And like a newborn baby
Would you cry over my shoulder please
Like a building in the city
Would you cover me with shade
And let me walk around amongst the trees
Do you still wish that you could love
just like you did when you were young?
Well you’re sharing this hope between everyone
Like a dawning in the spring
Would you let us all fly free
And would you allow all the birds to sing
Like a shadow in the night
Would you follow me
While I am waiting for the stars to slowly rise
Do you still wish that you could love
just like you did when you were young?
Well you’re sharing this hope between everyone

When The Well Runs Dry

WHEN THE WELL RUNS DRY
One day when the well runs dry
And I read it in the headlines
One day when the well runs dry
I will stand on the roadside
Someday when the well runs dry
One day when the well runs dry
Will it bring a tear to my eye?
One day when the well runs dry
And I write it on a billboard sign
To let everybody know that the well runs dry
Someday when the well runs dry
One day when the well runs dry
I will read it in the headlines
One day when the well runs dry
I will stand on the roadside
Someday when the well runs dry
One day when the well runs dry
Will I be of a happier mind?
One day when the well runs dry
Will I be of a happier mind?

Lay To Rest

LAY TO REST
So now I will lay to rest
All that I knew before
If you’ve come to pay respects
Than leave them at the foot of the door
Where we go after we fly
Into the sky above
Is in our hearts
And in our minds
As all the lingering moments we love
So far away from any place that I have called my home
Here I will stay, watch over what is mine while I am gone

So Long

SO LONG
One last night with Winter
And I know she cannot stay
One last breath inside her
Just to say these words again
That our time will pass
We will see the past
As only fun and games
One last night with Winter comes again
_______________________________
IT COULDN’T STAY
One last night with Winter
No I won’t beg her to stay
One last breath inside her
Just to say these words again
We will see the past
As a moment passed
So long, it couldn’t stay
One last night with Winter comes again

BORN (I HAVE AWAKEN)
On the day I was born
I spoke not a word
I cried out for help
And my cry was heard
Then they brought me home
Brought me home to bed
The sheets they were laid out for me
And the tears they had shed
I was given a name
A first and a middle one
My last name was theirs
And I’ll die with it there
And the floorboards they sang
As I learned how to walk
As I stumbled down the hall
As I began to talk
And speak more than one word
Scribbled on paper
The sidewalk was covered
In coloured chalk and pictures
And then I would see
These people around me
Faces I’d recognize
All of them I loved
And I wish they were here
I wish they were all here again
But that seems like a dream
And I have awaken...

Poison Myself

POISON MYSELF
I must have poisoned myself
As far as I can tell
I must have drank the wrong cup
Poured from the wrong well
I do not feel so well
I must have poisoned myself
I must have poisoned myself
What did I do wrong?
Holding my head high
Is not so easily done
I do not feel so well
I must have poisoned myself
I must have poisoned myself
What a chemical curse
Just when I thought I couldn’t feel much worse
I do not feel so well
I must have poisoned myself

EVERYTHING YOU’RE LOOKING FOR
Out of the gate
Oh, you couldn’t wait for this
To open this cage
It isn’t safe how you’ll pay for this
I couldn’t say to you, you couldn’t say to me
But I think that we both agree where this is heading to
And it’s morning again
It doesn’t feel like one thats come before
If this doesn’t end
I’m sure my body will sink into this floor
Sink into this floor that’s beneath my feet
You’ve walked across a hundred times
And now I should start to reach
For something on the other side
Everything you’re looking for is right here
In front of your eyes, calling to your ears
Everything you’re looking for is right here
In front of your eyes, calling to your ears
Out of the gate
Oh, you could not resist
To settle on fate
And change the past in front of this
I couldn’t say to you, you couldn’t say to me
But I think that we both agree where this is heading to
Everything you’re looking for is right here
In front of your eyes, calling to your ears
Everything you’re looking for is right here
In front of your eyes, calling to your ears

HIDING
What is it that you can’t tell me
What is it that you must hide
Why exactly are you fighting
What it is that lies inside
So what is it that you can’t tell me?
What is it that you must hide?
While this globe is slowly turning
I throw my anchor out to climb
To the bottom of the ocean
Out of the light is where I’ll hide
So what is it that you can’t tell me?
What is it that you must hide?

I Dedicate To You

I DEDICATE TO YOU
This is not what I had in mind
I thought I would be of a happier kind
So I’ll go, go on to assume
That all I do I dedicate to you
So I’ll go on to bettering myself now
So I’ll go on to better myself somehow
Make believe what you think to be true
Keep telling yourself that it’s better for you
Life is not what you see on the screen
Not a TV show, wouldn’t you agree?
So I’ll go on to bettering myself now
So I’ll go on to better myself somehow
So I’ll go, I’ll go on to assume
That all I do I dedicate to you

LUCK (WHERE’D YOU GO?)
Bad luck, where’d you go?
Bad luck, where’d you go?
Bad luck, where’d you go?
Because good luck don’t want me no more
My friend, where’ve you gone?
My friend, where’ve you gone?
My friend, where’ve you gone?
Or am I the lonely one
What did I do? What did I do?
What did I do to not deserve you?
True love where’ve you been?
True love where’ve you been?
True love where’ve you been?
Or were you just there to show me
What I have done
What I have done
What have I done to not deserve even one?

The Regret That I Am
03:59

THE REGRET THAT I AM
I am going to try to take it in
All that I take for granted
I am going to try and sink right in
To the beauty that I’m handed
I am going to try to hold onto your hand
But I cannot hold it in the absence of sin
So I am going to try to fix all of the regret that I am
Why oh why did I try to sink into the scenery?
And abandon all my thoughts
Of what you meant to me
I should have tried to hold onto your hand
But I was too tied in making amends
Oh I am going to try to fix all of the regret that I am

I Will Sleep Again

I WILL SLEEP AGAIN
It’s not for you to decide
Where you heart will lie
When that morning comes
With your head in the ground
Where you can’t be found
Well into the shade of the sun
There will come a time when you will find
That no one can hear your sound
So when the rooftops closing in then I will sleep again
Mysteries seem to conquer my dreams
In the night time or the middle of the day
When I arrive more dead than alive
With more for me to want to say
And I promise to try to come by time to time
To let you know I am okay
So when the rooftops closing in then I will sleep again
So I will not decide
When the time is right
Or when and if that morning comes
I will have lost the night
Then others will see that its not up to me
And this war will never be won
So when the roof is closing in
Then I will be the one
So when the roof is closing in
Then I will be the one

You Begin To Sigh
04:21

YOU BEGIN TO SIGH
With one foot on the road
I see the cars go by
The hair on my neck stands high
I watch myself explode
Fast forward to your time
I’m sure it’s all arrived
I’m sure that we’ve survived
As you begin to sigh
These materials in your eyes
They’ll disappear before you die
Material suicide, I’ll commit before I die
With one foot on the road
I see the cars go by
The hair on my neck stands high
As I begin to sigh
These materials in your eyes
They’ll disappear before you die
Material suicide, I’ll commit before I die.

DAYS (WOULD YOU GO?)
I wish I could go back to the good old days
I wish I could go back to the good old days
Maybe in some kind of retrospective point of view
Hindsight and nostalgia make you feel the same way too
Now you live a life you never thought that you would know
So if you could go back then would you go?
I wish I could go back to the good old days
I’m always hearing people say you’re better off that way
Now people all around me they are getting older too
You never thought that one day you’d be walking in their shoes
You start saying things you really never thought you would
But I don’t think I’d go back if I could
I wish I could go back to the good old days
I wish I could go back to the good old days
