Forgive Yourself
04:02

forget about it, do it in the morning
let it out, give us just a warning
when I met you there you didn't seem like you even cared
when I saw you there you didn't know what we could share
I heard about it, heard about your love life
pictures of you standing there with a new wife
I heard your song I thought I knew you all along
I saw your art I thought I knew you from the start
pain gives birth to other pain
don't let it get inside your brain
you're the one to instigate the change
let go of the blame
forget about it you're only chasing a star dream
let it out find a way to come clean
forgive yourself you got to forgive yourself

Give It a Shot

don't know how to begin
tricky situation that you find yourself in
when you're stuck in the hole
reaching for a feeling that's beyond your control
one you think that you need
maybe there's a reason you don't want to believe
can't you see what you got?
you never know until you give it a shot
you never know until you give it a shot
you never know until you give it a shot
you never know but you just might figure it out
going back in your mind
making the connection to an easier time
you didn't feel so afraid
putting all the love into the things that you made
memory like a dream
feeling and emotion saturating the scene
all the things that you thought
you never knew until you gave it a shot
you never know until you give it a shot
you never know until you give it a shot
you never know but it just might do you wrong
and when you start it's the hardest part
even when you do only way is through
you never know until you give it a shot

Night
03:13
|

|
talk to me now, speak
be with me now, breathe
glass in between
grey underneath
into the night
fading belief
open the door, see
enter the room, be
bag on the chair
gold on the wood
beat of a heart
sleeping for good

Rain
04:18
|
|||
|
look at all the houses light up in the night
second story window early evening light
clouds like a ceiling water coming down
it's sinking in the sewer and it's pooling on the ground
all the rain, all the rain
knows not where it's falling
it all looks just the same
but it feels so heavy when you can't see the sun
you're not the only one
look at all the people driving in a car
where can they be going, where have they come so far?
I can see the road but I can't see where it ends
just another bend, just another friend
all the rain, all the rain
knows not where it's falling
it all looks just the same
but it feels so heavy when you can't see the sun
you're not the only one
sound of the rain on the window
lines on a page but they won't show
searching for clues but you really find
your precious time up and passed you by
looking for a reason when everything is done
changing of a season circle round the sun
out there in the distance an echo on the wind
hold it in your hand give it back again

Outta Range

don't keep it all to yourself it only gets in the way
put it right back under the covers rather hide it than say
walk around with your mind in a tangle got something to prove
playing games and taking advantage always making a move
time after time I'm falling for you
I give you my love but you break it in two
I can be sure it will happen again
right from the start it's the same in the end
I can't be sure we're gonna change
it's out of my sight and out of my range
I was watching when you took what you wanted I think you got what you need
I told you then it was gonna be different everybody agreed
telling jokes when the living is easy, let's pretend we forgot
I see your face as a shadow in passing creeping into my thoughts
time after time you're slipping away
I look in your eyes I've got nothing to say
I can be sure it will happen again
right from the start it's the same in the end
I can't be sure we're gonna change
it's out of my sight and out of my range
and the signal will embrace you
and the static is gonna come through
you receive another vision
get a message get a mission

Gone
03:47

I'll be here when you're gone
I'll be here when you're gone
another sunrise waits for you
shines just like you want it to
but it's alright, it's alright
I'll wait for you
I lost you late at night
my fingers reaching for the light
salt water underneath the skin
deep dark circles drag you in
but it's alright, it's alright
begin again
I'm waiting once again
no telling when it ends
like a sidewalk grows around a tree
I don't see you the way that you see me
but it's alright, it's alright
I let you be

Rosa

jasmine
bloom in the sun in the garden
days gone by
watching
the blue of the world where I'm lying
facing the sky
when the sun goes down
you're not around
I hear a sound
echoes into my dreams
sure as it seems
what can it mean?
I wonder
Rosa
I never told you I need you
I am afraid
shelter
from all of the anger I thank you
I wish I could say
when the sun goes down
you're not around
I hear a sound
echoes into my dreams
sure as it seems
what can it mean?
I wonder

Don't Wanna Know
04:34
|

|
taking myself to see a real good doctor
I can't stand to be in this much pain
I'm not ready for a real big shocker
but there's something growing in my brain
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna
I just need to get the right prescription
don't tell me what you put in the pills
cause if I sit still for a minute
I start sweating and I get the chills
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna
cut me open on the operating table
liquid, needles and wires and tubes
I take a closer look at everything that's in there
what's inside of me was inside you too
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna

Seed of Silence
03:45
|
|
||
|
holding the paper blossom gently in your hand
skin is a canvas
every follicle a tone
do you remember how the surface of your water
shone in the sunlight?
never left it alone
that's the memory that always speaks to me
barely breathing whispers on the leaves
I can never know how deep the roots will go
turn around and let the garden grow
standing beside the angry ocean in the rain
I came to my senses
beauty colors in the pain
reaching upward trying to sit on top your cloud
save for the summer
heart it never beat so loud
rain it finally falls, we don't have time to stall
you can use it you can't have it all
what was once a dream now come to wash you clean
you're faded, threadbare, splitting at the seams
holding the seed of silence gently in your palm
all is forgiven
settled into the song
watching the light and shadow dancing at the door
here in the music
always listen for more
