daybreak
at the bottom of lake
it's a hundred degree's i can't breeth
and i won't get out
'til i figure it out
thought i'm weak like i can't believe
so you tell me "trust me" i can't trust you
just let me show you
but i gotta work it out in a shadow of doubt
'cause i don't know if i know you
doing fine but i don't waste my time
tell me what it is you want to say
you sin, you win, just let me in - hurry
i've been out in the rain all day
so you tell me "trust me" i can't trust you
as far as i can throw you
and i'm trying to get out of a shadow of doubt
'cause i don't know if i know you
don't tell me you wanted me
don't tell me you thought of me
i won't, i sware i won't
(did)
i'll try, i sware i'll try
(lie)
mother mary quite contrary
kiss the boys and makes then wary
things are getting just a little bit scary
it's awonder i can still breathe
never been much of a doubting thomas
but nothing breaks like a broken promise
you tell me 'bout your two more coming
but once is just enough for me
i had gotten used to being a soul destroyed
she comes in apparently to fill the void
all dogs need a leash and at least i forgot it
and she would never hurt me though she's never said it
but i'm gonna ask her today
i din't wanna scare her away
your town, i'm all alone
and i just can't stare at the phone
i wanna talk about lifelong mistakes
and you can tell your stepfather i said so
				

falling through pages of martens on angels
feeling my heart pull west
i saw the future dressed as a stranger
love in a space-dye vest
love is an act of blood and i'm bleeding
a pool in the shape of a heart
beauty projection in the reflection
always the worst way to start
now that you're gone i'm trying to take it
learning to swallow the rage
found a new girl i think we can make it
as long as she stays on the page
this is not how i want it to end
and i'll never be open again
there's no one to take my blame
if they wanted to
nothing to keep me sane
and it's all the same to you
there's nowhere to set my aim
so i'm everywhere
never come near me again
do you really think i need you
and i'll smile and i'll learn to pretend
and i'll never be open again
and i'll have no more dreams to defend
and i'll never be open again
				

if i'd started from the top
and worked my way down
there'd be no reason
to live forever
to live forever

the starvation has turned
me outside in
and the wind has blown
me halfway across the world
across the world

why was i born
in an age of distrust
i'd offered some change
for a photograph

it will always stay the same
always be the same

until i show desire for revenge
my heart never once went astray
as long as i have to die in the attempt
then there'd be no reason
to live forever

until i show desire for revenge
as long as i have to die in the attempt
as long as i have to die in the attempt
then there'd be no reason
no reason
no reason
to live forever
to live forever
  'this just in from baghdad... seven patriot missiles
have been spotted above cuba.'
				

Live

there was no time for pain
no energy for anger
the sightlessness of hatred sleeps away
walking winter streets alone
he stops and takes a breath
with confidence and self-control

i look at the world and see no understanding
i'm waiting to find some sense of strength
i'm begging from the bottom of my heart to show me understanding

i need to live life
like some people never will
so find me kindness
find me beauty
find me truth
when temptation brings me to my knees
and i lay here drained of strength
show me kindness
show me beauty
show me truth

the way your heart sounds makes all the difference
it's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel
the way your heart beat makes all the difference
in learning to live
here before me is my soul
i'm learning to live
i won't give up
till i've no more to give

listening to the city
whispering its violence
i set out watching from above
the 90s bring new questions
new solutions to be found
i fell in love to be let down

once again we dance in the crowd
at times a step away
from a common fear that's all spread out
it won't listen to what you say
once you're touched you stand alone
to face the bitter fight
once i reached for love
and now i reach for life

another chance to lift my life
free the sensation in my heart
to ride the wings of dreams into changing horizons
it brings inner peace within my mind,
as i'm lifted from where i've spilt my mind
i hear an innocent voice
i hear kindness, beauty and truth

the way your heart sounds makes all the diffrence
it's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel
the way your heart beats makes all the difference
in learning to live
spread before you is your soul
so forever hold the dreams within our hearts
through nature inflexible grace
i'm learning to live
