whispers - recorded in late 2006 to late 2009

force field
in each other's arms
even heroes die
me and you
my only hope
or it all comes apart
return to me
this time last year
stuck here
what i know
you stopped the end

love of everyone - recorded in late 2005 to mid 2006

how to tell you (part I)
all around me
song for mario
hoping for the best
something like this
slowing down
imagine-if-we-fell
pictures
all the time
the past behind
how to tell you (part II)

mend - recorded in late 2004 and early 2005

so it goes
homecoming
no matter what
a constant reminder
mend
it hurts to talk
plain and even
it's too quiet
nevermind those eyes

the things that you are singing - recorded in early 2004

mostly passed away
the things that you are singing
before-you-go
not a normal thing
carrying the weight
the war in my sky (cover)

more like sink or swim - recorded in late 2003

to tell the truth
broken town
faithful
according to that look
more like sink or swim
to other peoples' world
unfamiliar court
learned to hold the hand
like falling stars tonight
time to grow
dancing on the stars

force field - there's a force field tonight in the middle of my mind it's keeping me from you but i know it's not right i fight all through the night to be with you and i can't stand the days when you are away it's not what it should be and are you listening to anything i say it doesn't mean a thing cause there's a force field in my mind and i can't see the light it's keeping me from you please take my hand and pull me up i'm falling through space and time and can't get up

in each other's arms - you and i are one i enjoy our lives together we spend time in each other's arms

even heroes die - you said you want to go to my house you said you want to destroy all my things but i won't let you cause i am a hero that's right you heard i am a hero i stop the fights before they start it's like a superpower except when there's no choice and things blow up but even heroes die i see that you don't learn anything i heard that you want to start a fire i call your bluffs it seems all the time it's like a game to me except when there's no choice and things blow up but even heroes die

me and you - i have come so far in my way but i have yet to see it all i don't know now where i should be going i just follow the road but all this time spent away from it all it makes me need to see it through me and you i could live my whole life with you i could be the one you know there isn't anything that i need so just your touch and your kiss it shows me how to be anew it makes me better than i am now me and you

my only hope - waking up alone still all dressed in smoke cotton mouth again and thought i'm reliving from the night before hurting like i'm bruised from a night of booze spending most the day trying to feel ok just so i can go and do it all again from a certain view it looks like i'm with you can you care enough care for both of us all the time apart there's no way i'm giving up on this and there's no time i'd rather be without my love i'm ready now to grow and not wake up alone with you my only hope

or it all comes apart - i want all the leaves to blow to blow away beyond the sky so many times i've tried to change my own eyes politics says don't look ahead i want everything red but it's out of supply so many times i've used all of the blues can't stop it though it's ready to go something might change if we're not careful yet something might grow if we leave it alone or it all comes apart

return to me - it takes all of my strength sometimes to keep it together when it seems to real and i don't want to feel anything at all it might take days it might take weeks but i always return to me it might take you it might take me but i always return to me

this time last year - this time last year i followed my heart this time last year i followed my love and here we are this year and here we are together now it's you my love on valentine's again (i love you so my dear) won't you be mine this time last year you followed your heart this time last year you followed your love

stuck here - when the clock strikes five here we are gotta find the time to make the next move don't wanna be stuck here anymore and the weekend comes then it goes it's never long enough for all the things that i wanna get done or explore don't wanna be stuck here anymore

what i know - watching you sleep i'm watching you sleep hearing you breathe and seeing you breathe and what i know is i need you feeling your warmth as you're holding me close keeping you safe while thinking of dreams what's on your mind the thoughts before sleep and what i know is i love you

you stopped the end - you know i'm sorry man we're coming anyway we're crashing all up in your stuff you know i'm sorry man that doesn't stop us though this is the meaning of my bro and as the drinks are poured it's getting crowded now i always try to break your neck but you just play along cause you are very strong this is the meaning of my bro you stopped this you stopped this you stopped the end so many times i let things go too far

how to tell you (part I) - there's no need to worry babe there's no need to care when i'm with other people babe they just don't compare is there any way to say that i love you because if there's one thing i forget it's how to tell you

all around me - sometimes the sky is clear and every thing's okay it's these days i fail to see that beauty's all around me with the windows closed i think about the times you're around me with unopened eyes i contemplate the future well should i expect any less than you've got you're so perfect dear and love is all around love is all around me beauty's all around me you are all around me i am all around me

song for mario - i've been meaning to write a song for a friend named mario but i've been tired and trying to find the words to describe this guy he looks cool wearing pink cause he's all that and the kitchen sink too bad i'm lying i know too well the evil that swells not much a drinker he's not the type of guy i'd hang with on friday night but that's okay as i'm sure he'll tell the horror that he knows as neill all we often do is find a way to fight even though we know that just ain't right deep inside i know we're cool to the bone so this is my song for mario

hoping for the best - was it you or me or something in between you caught me with my narrow eyes you caught me by surprise are you for me or is this all a dream i'm hoping for the best do you have to say you'll always be this way you have to know that people change you see it in their face when they turn around and let your world fall down you're hoping for the best

something like this - i've been waiting my whole life for something like this and i've been wasting time now i've got the thing i've wanted for so long i've got your love and you've got mine

slowing down - oh how time has changed our minds i once thought of us as friends all the time we shared i can feel it slowing down sometimes people come and go i just wish i knew ahead to be prepared is to be strong of so i like to think all this hoping has no chance to rearrange the past and if there's something i could do i might change things with you do you wonder what it's like to feel this way for you or do you ever feel the way the way i do right now and if there's something i could do i might be there with you or do you ever feel the way the way i do tonight

imagine if we fell - oh this time i'm in too deep i think i've lost my mind suddenly everything it seems a little strange to me oh this time i'm in too deep i don't know what is mine it feels like heaven's on my side but i don't know what that means i would like to realize how you found your way into my life this is the first time that i've felt this way for someone else and it's holding me up so high imagine if i fell imagine if we fell

pictures - baby i've let you down again i don't know what i'm thinking when i'm home and all alone with no way to see you soon i get lost without you here with me i forget how you love me cause i'm blind without your loving eyes to lead me i try to make it on my own but i hate telephones and your voice is not enough for me sometimes then i look at all the pictures of your beauty that i have and i cry cause you're not here with me tonight so i drink always when i think about how much i miss you i might die but i just can't deny i love you

all the time - this night this time i'm going out of my way to find anyone and anything tonight you're driving me out of my mind and i'm taking you with me cause i need you here with me all the time something pure and something new and i'm taking you with me cause i want you here with me all the time

the past behind - just this once i think i'll try to be a better guy for me after the last time i've failed oh so miserably or so it looked to me and if you saw me now you'd swear that i'm a different person honestly or so it seems you only feel this way just a few times unless you miss the signs and in that case once in a lifetime a blessing in disguise and what i hope to gain is honesty and clarity from everyone but i know that it takes more than i can ever offer up to see this change so i guess that i'll just watch how it all turns out and hope for the best i've only felt this way just a few times and i know i've missed some signs so in this case once in my lifetime i'll put the past behind

how to tell you (part II) - there's no need to worry babe there's no need to care when i'm with other people babe they just don't compare is there any way to say that i love you because if there's one thing i forget it's how to tell you

so it goes - on this day we thought we got away nothing changes that way so we talk and we scream all the things to say why is it so hard to talk about nothing so important it seems that everything's so heavy all the time i want to hold on and my time it keeps on slipping by so slow in fact but now i feel i understand as much as i don't like it as hard as i might try nothing lasts forever we'll die

homecoming - it feels right lying here with you from night through the morning hours but we know i'm trying to forget my life outside of this trip so we drink everything we want to not think how good this makes us feel it's so rare that we could have the chance to meet near the city we first met i took a plane to fly into this town for a week i never could have guessed that you taking a short train would shake my travels all around in the way i let it all just happen but still i'd do it all again cause your kiss is softer than the ocean when it's calm and clear as the sky i never thought i'd miss you or think about you in that way but that's changed ever since i saw you even though we're now so far away

no matter what - naked photographs showing other sides of you i never would have thought you looked that way or not nevermind what i told you that i saw that day everything's ok everything's so false saying yes i want to see you even though it's so far the opposite of truth the opposite of you is the last thing i expected no matter what you say it's hard to hate myself so much to hate yourself is just false and the worst thing about this is you're so far away and the last time we'd spoken i looked the other way can you forgive and forget the things you've learned from me cause i hate that no matter what i try i can't open my eyes all the way or learn from the things that i say

a constant reminder - i never thought it'd feel this way to move away i'm trying hard to not think of you but everywhere i look there's something that reminds me that i miss you the heater by the bed the things going through my head some things i can't drink away because they just keep coming back

mend - mend this broken heart tie it up with knots until it starts to work stronger by the day hardened by the pain i just don't know anymore mend this broken game it takes away a part (of me) i'm not willing to give up but still i'm losing ground to all the things that i can't say mend this broken mind so fragile on the inside protected by a wall that never opens up to understand the truth about us and the way we used to be i see it now it's so empty listening and talking to everyone i'm able to hoping that there's something left to learn i'm trying hard to make amends with everyone i've parted with that's all i ask to mend

it hurts to talk - this is the hardest thing i've done it seems in recent memory i can't explain the things i'd like to change and so it's done thinking about all the good times it makes this whole thing seem so wrong i don't expect i'll ever get past this but still it's done this is the hardest thing i've done it seems in recent memory i don't regret the love i feel i left with you it's hard to keep out of the way and god knows there's so much i could say i talk and talk and drink the pain away it hurts to talk

plain and even - there's a hole in my house and it keeps the noise in there's an old girl in town and she's plain and even you she took your heart away and you say there's nothing you can do because she don't like you but i can see right through so you hold back your love like it's going to run out and you find other things to take your mind off her and all the time you've spent with her it seems so distant because she don't like you but i can see right through now you spend all your days in total darkness and she spends all her nights in other guys' beds it's true she took your heart away but i know you're better off this way because she don't like you and i can see right through

it's too quiet - the sun is shining cars are out there's people walking it's nice out but that don't matter from where i'm sitting it seems cold here it's in the air it's awful quiet except for tears how you holding is all they ask i'm doing fine now don't want to talk it seems early to walk it off that's what i'm doing though or trying to it's too quiet i'm tired of being alone the sudden changes it hits too close to home i'll go outside now try to play i'll wear a smile until the day this feels better no more fake

nevermind those eyes - poets write their words tonight and i will sing my songs part of being alive it seems is to do these things and i see all the things that are made by the working hands and i hope that i can do everything like you cause it's hard everytime i try but it looks easy when you grab the staring eyes of all the fans you've made it looks as though it's natural but i don't see how so i write my songs tonight and nevermind those eyes nevermind the voice they gave to this world

mostly passed away - another day that's mostly passed away thinking of the thoughts from days that came before like you're not moving anymore when the day is long going to a bar to top it off if it seems you can't buy another reason why don't expect to be emotionally tied to anyone you like or anyone you know it's dangerous to fall in love with anyone when things are standing still it's hard to find the things you need to pass the time on a day that's mostly passed away getting stronger by the hour now you could say you've mostly passed away fading out under the dimming light

the things that you are singing - your narrow eyes see slices of life never a whole picture never anything with meaning so you ask your friends and you ask your family to help you decide to tell you what you're seeing and you hope and pray and so you start to talk again describing every detail on your mind what you can't notice is such a simple truth that it hurts they can't see the things that you are singing and it seems they can't help cause they're not there when you're in need and you hope and sing the things you are singing

before you go - on your way just passing by keeping your head down not to catch their eyes not to catch their cruelness you've had it up to here with everyone around they're closing in much faster now before you go i wanted you to know the way i feel about you it goes it's easier to walk with feelings tucked away but when you do get lost you just can't find your way you've had it up to here with everything you've seen there's places now you've been you never thought you'd go going down this road all alone you never thought you'd need anyone like that you've blocked it out but it keeps getting in this feeling's lost control if it makes you feel ok i don't know how to say the things we keep inside and try so hard to hide this time i'm at a loss with you

not a normal thing - december is gone but winter has come and it's not going i can tell it's not going so well the dirt on my car the snow on my shoes everything reminds me of how far from pure that i've become till i go to sleep alone in my bed and i pray and i pray for the people that i've met in the short time i have lived such a bother caring all the time i don't know how you've come so far staying mom and dad so long it gives me hope it gives me the strength to see such positives is not a normal thing so i go to sleep alone in my bed and i stay and i stay and i stay

carrying the weight - carrying the weight of all the words unsaid trying to ignore the people in your life or try to drown it out with music on your mind writing all your songs trying not to talk but that won't change a thing no that can't fix the things in your life where everything is happening where everything is broken what a waste of your time are you hearing the words that i'm saying or are you pretending you are somewhere far away somewhere you can hear the ocean waves crashing down over everything i say carrying the weight of all the words unsaid you say there's not a thing except your oversleeping i could stay awake for days and days and days if only i had reasons to believe in everything you've talked about like somewhere far away somewhere you can hear the ocean waves crashing down

the war in my sky - the total war in my sky is you it's you everything you do starts fires through the windows and the doors the rushing around it gives you what you deserve i bag the total science up it's like rocket science calculated from above and i could talk to you about him but i won't anymore you told me all you need's a scene painting your pictures of everything you've eaten away my efforts (it's genocide/this is hell) i could imagine you with weapons around dangling gripping to stop them i bag the total science up it's like rocket science everything is beautiful in hell la la la la la la i talk to you but it's not good it's like talking to someone you never knew

to tell the truth - everybody's gone it's time to wake up for tomorrow with one eye open feel the breeze messing up your hair and clothes you know breathless against the moment you pinned me to tell the truth everybody knows there's no place for sticking out your nose the coming storm tearing through your fragile bones oh no it's tempting to hide your face again somebody knows somebody cares somebody's restless somebody cares

broken town - lying here with my face pressed to the ground telling myself anything to stay alive how do other people do it how do they smile when they say all the words they know to the faces that they've learned to hate and it's time to get up and move just like the water through this broken town i've had enough with casting spells in this life going out in fashionable getup seeing all the looks of hatred through these eyes that glow and see so much affliction that it hurts when you say you're all alone again and you don't know what to think and it's known you'll never move because so few things amuse you anyway not anymore i want you to know through this bitter town you've had enough of hiding out in this life

faithful - stepping back clearing the view it's been a long time since i've been faithful to me and seven days have gone by losing track of time is too easy when you're feeling old and sometimes all alone and still the days have gone by and seven days have gone by and nothing takes you back the way you like to think it can

according to that look - hearing words that hurt you're saying words that are dear to me but I don't know what's worse the words or the meaning that I have just picked up i'm hearing things from nowhere according to that look i've lost the understanding but I know i'm growing and trying to regain all the things i've set out and tried to put away i realize that i've been wrong at times I was so sure and nothing could point it out faster than that look saying words that hurt i've been on both the lines it's harder now to intend the words or the meaning

more like sink or swim - being awkward not knowing what to say in social situations i'd rather go away but i'm trapped again by what they call my friends it's different than what i'd say what's the meaning of trying to fit in when everyone's so nosy it's more like sink or swim sometimes I don't care what other people say there's so much I would like to do today that doesn't involve you because I don't care for boredom i'm not looking for more I'm going to do some things today

to other peoples' world - seeing the moon watching from the road when no one else was looking I watched it move far across the sky I had to crane my neck squinting my eyes I noticed it was you and after all I saw I thought I could change but what else could I become something somewhere I felt like heading back to other peoples' world but when I did get back it's different somehow

unfamilar court - playing hardball in an unfamiliar court making up the moves trying hard not to stand out I want to know the rules of this game before I find myself flat upon the floor thinking to myself what for styled romance after unforgiving scenes it's better not to know every detail of such things before i hurt myself before you can hurt me i'm waiting here to see your words

learned to hold the hand - well it's time to wake up it's time to shave it's time to go away for this special occasion it's not too often to step out of this game but if there is one part of me that could know where this train is heading I just might step back today and not roll out of bed into this day pushing forward i'm so aggressive at things that just don't show maybe I'll realize that people don't care who you are inside and I bet that I'm guilty of just what I have been hurting from because that's the way I've learned to live from watching other people that I know today I've learned to hold the hand of another

like falling stars tonight - waiting for romance waiting forever making all the time wasting all the time trying to unwind drinking all the wine hoping for a cure intentions are fine I can't be gone today or someone takes my place because human hearts are like the falling stars tonight landing fast wherever they can fall

time to grow - sharing all my life with you hoping I can find the view of knowing peace of mind again and taking what is mine my friend i'd take it all back just like I never said it all to anyone but I think it's time to grow hiding all my thoughts from you living secret lives alone wanting this to stop so I don't have to hide my face today and now it's time I should grow

dancing on the stars - looking forward to another day i'm putting my best foot in front of me and walking toward anything that shines and makes my mind dance on the stars I wait feeling bolder and at the same time not feeling much of anything at all it makes me wonder what it's like to make myself feel I feel like dancing on the stars
