Lyrics

every day

skyscrapers
steel beams 
elevators 
the sun breaks on glass sky scrapers 
this is my place in line 
gotta talk but we're running out of time 
and until then carry on carry on carry on 
this is one more place to hide 
you told the truth and then you lied 
you told the truth and now your here 
barely hanging on 
hallways so busy, walk fast and try not to look too relaxed 
it's all the same in this electrical parade 
of standing in the doorways 
in-between places always 
you can't go 
and i can't stay the same 
i know nothing breaths in here 
close your eyes so you can hear 
i know nothing breaths in here 
but you're hanging on 
barely hanging on 

daybreak
saw the daybreak in blue eyes
in the city
the stones stood silent while
blue was fitting

truth was plain to see
though we were lacking
separated by a lie
to keep us moving on

keep me awake
i'm trying to exhale
the iridescence of this day
is plain to see
keep me awake keep me awake
 
orange like the sound
growing stronger
minutes by the night
is almost over
slipping from skin
watching as the thin shadows
move on move on

keep me awake
i'm trying to exhale
the iridescence of this day
is plain to see
keep me awake keep me awake

incomplete
crazy all these notions
surrounding, eyes are burning
open up wide to swallow
these words i can't follow
when everything is incomplete
incomplete
 
i need something bigger than
these words which i try to bend
bright lights and now you're all alone
everything you touch turns to stone

I need something bigger than
white knuckle races to the end
one word to make it all alright
one word to make it worth my fight
when everything is incomplete
incomplete

everything is incomplete
i need to believe and i'll keep on falling
and all the lights have come and gone
and the road is long
and i'll keep on falling

spoon
coffee dripping faster than
the floor boards creaking up the stairs
and the spoon
scrapes the bowl in silence
and it's 7:30 due today
and someone somewhere up the stairs
and it's time

are you honest
are you patient with your lies
are you blind when it's safe to close your eyes
are you kind when it's easier to move
are you brave when you have nothing to loose

i'm not free when i've got nothing to loose
you're not free when in fear you do what you choose
 
two eyes to tired to try to see
and the truth was right in front of me
and the words
cut into the silence
and a voice much like a lullaby
tries to open up his eyes but he turns
the page like everyone
 
are you honest
are you patient with your lies
are you blind when it's safe to close your eyes
are you kind when it's easier to move
are you brave when you have nothing to loose
 
i'm not free when i've got nothing to loose
you're not free when in fear you do what you choose
and we're not free when we've got nothing to loose
you're not free when in fear you do what you choose

siren voices
i count money in my pocket
siren voices bring me down
i hope my mouth betrays my secrets
leaves me wanting
finds me found
 
lets practice faces in the mirror
tears water fall a fallen princes
leave me alone and find your own

i need my head to slip past my hands and hit the ground
i need reflections to throw light back onto the ground

before the day pulls final curtain
and all the fools get glorified
satellites watch all my movements
still frames in a still framed life

lets practice faces in the mirror
tears water fall a fallen princes
leave me alone and find your own

i need my head to slip past my hands and hit the ground
i need reflections to throw light back onto the ground

get free
it's late again
all of the street lights keeping
streets not to stray
two eyes half shut till noontime

wake me
when you get free
words are easy
time has come untied now
like a circus
i don't notice
when my mouth moves

where are you going to sleep and how were you going to leave

call me again
with your mouth full baby
i'll understand
you must have been so hungry

you are never very low
you'll find someone just below
 
wake me
when you get free
words are easy
time has come untied now
like a circus
i don't notice
when my mouth moves

leave me alone leave me alone

wake me
when you get free
words are easy
time has come untied now
like a circus
i don't notice
when your words
move me
when I get free
words are easy
time has come untied now
like a circus
i don't notice
when my mouth moves 

weight

 

night
walk with me brother
walk with me farther
this night is not the same
the stars are leaning forward
the sky wraps on your shoulder
we are not the same

there's no room in the city
the doors and windows
have been closed

a light shines in the darkness
but the darkness has not overcome

rise and wake follow
this night is made hallow
we are not alone
a sliver voice calling
it's bright but not yet morning
be not afraid

displays to make you dizzy
in touch connected and alone

a light shines in the darkness
but the darkness has not overcome
a light shines in the darkness
but the darkness has not overcome
breathing in
everyday
