NECESSARY EMPATHY
BE LOVED
Listen to how the footsteps fall away
Look in the mirror thinking what can change
Something inside me’s rotting every day
Even if I keep moving it still finds a way
I wanna be loved
I wanna be left alone
I wanna feel something
I wanna be numb
Listen to how the beat bounces off the stone
Look out the window it's fine I'm alone
And then I feel it in every bone
I've never met you but I feel at home
You wanna be love
You wanna be carved in stone
You wanna feel everything
Before you're gone
(You wanna have fun
On your way home)
I’m coming home
The light’s been left on
I know you’re gone, you’re moving on
Singing one more song
There’s nothing wrong, time moves along
And what I’m left with
Will keep me warm
It’s not your fault, the cards you hold
How it felt holding on so long
There’s nothing wrong with moving on
The one who hurt you won’t heal you now
IT’S NO USE
Did you really think this through
Fifty miles between me and you can’t change it
Coming up with right excuse
Building walls between you and truth won’t change it
Try out your luck with someone new
Maybe someday the love will find you and
Change it change you
But probably not cause
It’s no use
Focus in on the morning news
Impending doom and the lonely blues won’t name it
Changing light as the planet moves
Crystal visions that guided you have faded
One more hit and your coming to
Running circles around the room sedated
Faded ever changing liberated from your cage you turn the page and find the way that feels the same but inundated saturated stimulated break apart and rearrange it
But it still feels the same cause
It’s no use
GOTTA GO GET IT
How to tell the kind of people that become the shadows
Never stop to stop and think except to think in circles
One more time you couldn't see the devil's in the details
it’s bound to happen that way
And if there's any good in you you gotta go get it
This tunnel leads into the light and light into the shadows
Pull back the curtains see salvation out the window
All this time you tried to be the one who was the hero
It’s bound to backfire that way
So if there’s any good in you, you’ve gotta go get it
I’ve got to believe in somethin’
It’s too hard to breathe
When nothing means anything at all
Who knows better than you
When it’s the right thing to do
Who knows better than you
PARADISE
Can you see the dream I have for you?
Can you see the paradise?
Can you see the dream?
Look around before it's all gone
Plastic's piling up on the lawn
Trees have fallen the birds are gone
But don't you worry they say we won
I can't say I didn't see this coming
It can change
We'll find ourselves becoming more
(We cannot let the few destroy it for all of us)
I will do good by others
I will do good by myself
We have to fight for it
(The only way to win is a revolution)
CONSTANT SILENCE
I keep waiting to hit the ground
Something’s pulling me down
I keep searching for the answers
That are all around me
I keep falling to find the bottom
But there’s just no ending (there’s just)
Constant silence, render me helpless
It’s been years since I’ve felt the feeling
The soothing touch of romance
I keep wading through all the bullshit
Just to find the chance
I keep fading, slowly jading
Bring me some salvation (from this)
Constant silence, render me helpless
Subtle violence, keep it I’ll manage
THE QUESTION
Turn around it’s so much better outside
It’s not how it needs to be for both of us to thrive
We do what we can to bear it just so we survive
I don’t know if I can take it
Wait around for the day you want to try
I’m counting down the nights until you realize
You’re planning for a future you can’t solidify
I just hope that you can make it
Understand the path to changes
I might as well take it all out now and put it on the line
I’m not one to push but baby this just feels so right
I’ve only felt this once before but love was lost in time
There’s nothing like your smile singing it’s gonna be alright
I know I know it’s foolish when you’ve already passed by
But what is living if you can’t say at least you tried
This could be a fruitless effort
But closing off is not the answer
I can wait til you unravel
Building trust is half the battle
It could be a new adventure
The part of you that begs the question
SO HARD
Bitter taste in my mouth
It’s happened again
Wonder how this time will bring me
Closer to the end
Recognize the face of who I am and who I’ve been
Outrageous but the truth’s so easy to bend
Why is it so hard to turn away from you?
Why is it so hard to learn to stay away?
Why is it so hard to stay away from you?
Why is it so hard to learn?
Recognize the feeling, unlikely to win
Know it’s not the answer but the motion begins
Catch a glimpse reflection bears no punches held in
Might as well become someone that’s drowning in it
Why are you still here?
Why are you still standing there?
Why do we keep dancing in the same old patterns?
Why am I still here?
Why am I still standing there?
Why can’t I stop thinking in the same old circles
Let go, (why is it so hard to turn away from you?)
There’s nowhere to run
All of this is temporary
You’re losing time and gaining nothing
You can see what’s happening, I know
ENJOY
She is knocking quietly at the door
She has come to tell you something you can’t ignore anymore
Enjoy what you’ve got
Keep on moving
You can’t lay in bed anymore
Intention doesn’t count toward the board keeping score
She is knocking quietly at the door
Feel the wind from the window and know
You’re at home
Gotta keep moving
Gotta keep it moving
SOMEONE ELSE
I don’t have time to help you find your way
I don’t have time to waste and waste away
Tell someone else your everything wrong
I know it’s hard to be alone and frightened
And I know how much it hurts to get excited
It’s overwhelming when you feel confronted
I don’t have time to help you find your way
And I don’t expect to beg and make you stay
Far from behind you’re in your own way
I know it’s hard to feel alone and heightened
And I know how much the cage looks like a comfort
It’s up to you to be the one that fights it
SMILE
I wanted it to work
But I've gotta work it out
I wanted to get it right
But I've gotta save myself
Let the dreams come true
Let the nightmares run wild
Then the fears take root
Cut it out and try to smile
Weighted and painful inside you
Bubbles up behind your eyes
Turn your gaze across the room
Where your eyes, they meet mine
In that moment I know how
How you see me, the same
Careful now don’t let it show
You punish me and hide your shame
SUMMON IT ALL
Summon it all
Get a little closer than you ever have before
Harness it all
Give it all the power that you never that you never had before
Focus on what you want, summon it all
Focus on what you want
Not what you don’t
13
All I do is to bring me back to you
Rain on a lake, a lonely view
Energy release from the deepest pools
You pull away it's nothing new
All you do is a mirror back on you
Drowned in the lake what could I do
Running out of rope on an endless spool
You keep the pace and I follow suit
What could I do to reach you
What could I do to bring you closer?
All this blue’s tomorrow’s news
And all this gloom is tomorrow’s blooms
One day soon you’ll break through
Turn the stone on something new
Look around, you’ll see it too
Better days will come to you
VOICES
Voices call from down the hall
I wait for it all to set in
I feel the time passing on my skin
But soon you'll see
Sand on the ocean's fingertips
I'm drawn to be someone you deserve
I'll never feel how much it hurts
You've felt it real when the fire burns
I'll never know
Now you’re gone, the curtain falls
No sign of applause but silence
It fills the air like a gentle breeze
Time doesn’t freeze it pulls on the threads that tether me
Lux aeterna
Lux aeterna
Libera me
Requiem aeterna
Lux perpetua
Dona nobis pacem
Lux aeterna
