Rephrase 03:35
Why hold your hand above the flame? If I rephrase the question does the answer stay the same? When I tried to look the other way I found a morbid fascination in the pleasure in the pain You've got to learn to love your name before you learn to love again You've got to lear to love yourself before you love anyone else Why run your thumb along the blade? Every action weighs on the scale of progress and decay I had tried to better myself and for you I'd hope the same But I'll rephrase the question is the answer gonna change? You've gotta learn to love you face before you learn to love again You've got to learn to love yourself before you love anyone else How could you help anyone else if you can't help yourself to change? You've gotta learn to love you fate before you learn to love again You've got to learn to love yourself before you love anyone else How could you help anyone else if you can't help yourself to change?

Consecrate 04:04
...and if we wait the sun is gonna fade behind the horizon and paint the landscape in violet shades ...and if we wait the darkness will cascade and the moon will consecrate the shape our bodies make ...and if we wait my hands are gonna shake attention's gonna break desire to create When I want to be here with you and I wanted you to see that I was thinking of you when I was building tiny things that I cannot settle on and I cannot settle down ...and this too must pass... I don't want to hesitate I need to learn to wait I don't want to live without you for another day I don't want to medicate but don't know how to wait I don't want to live without you for another day ...And if we wait the earth is gonna quake and it's going to devastate the house you spent your life building When I want to be here with you and I wanted you to see that I was thinking of you when I was climbing cherry trees cuz I can't sit still long enough to show you what I mean without the distraction of a drink or the suction of a screen when this too must pass... I don't want to hesitate I need to learn to wait I don't want to live without you for another day I don't want to medicate but don't know how to wait I don't want to live without you for another day

Darkness is coming it's alright darkness is coming a matter of time Given the chance I wouldn't start again given the chance to change I'd end up where I am Darkness is coming the sun set all day you took a picture of the seasons change and I want to hold you closer I want to feel again the burning of the fever setting in at summers end I held it once before and I'll hold it once again it's okay, it's okay it's okay When I wanted to know if the feeling obscured by your face was the feeling eroding all of these easy days? I need to know if you are in or out I know for sure without a doubt I'm yours Darkness if here now it's alright If there's something in between us I want to clear away the fear of future fires turning forests into planes if we can stay the winter then we can stay the change it's okay, it's okay, it's okay When I wanted to know if the feeling betrayed by your face was the feeling eroding all of these easy days? I wanted to be the person that you think that I am and I hold on to hope and I hold it as long as I can I need to know if you are in or out I know for sure without a doubt I'm yours

Crushed 04:34
When you get excited I get excited you know that I will feel all that you feel and when you've receded my strengths depleted you're my gold fleece and Achilles' heel I am crushed by the wave of your love I am crushed by the wave of your love I am washed up inside and I feel more alive tonight When you have departed I fall apart my lighthouse crumbled into the blue now wherever you go I will follow crushed up into your endless ocean I am paint in the brush of your love I'm a lush for the pain of your love I am crushed up inside and I feel more alive tonight

Commitment 05:17
If it's a matter of commitment I've committed the better part of my life to this and I what is it you really want? to lay down by the fire and look up at the stars? To collapse and relax and release this wave of malaise that has swelled unimpeded now what is it you really need? to breathe and to breath and to breath and to breath I know mistakes were made nothing is ever the same as yesterday and all the stakes have raised nothing is ever the same as we all age nothing is ever the same nothing is ever the... If it's a matter of commitment I committed the better part of my night to this and what is it you really need? to obtain and achieve is the hunger you feed or to laugh dance and sing to receive bliss till the sea of anxiety has drained and depleted now what is it you really need? To eat and to sleep and to breath and to dream I know mistakes were made nothing is ever the same as yesterday and all the stakes have raised nothing is ever the same as we all age nothing is ever the same nothing is ever the...

Euphoria 03:08
Euphoria, I found ya hidden in a minute devoured in a second and gone The moment before I obtained the thing I was searching for all along When all I want could be delivered in song When all I want could be delivered Euphoria, I found ya hidden in a minute I hold on as long as I can the moment when I I see your face and I reach out to touch your hand When all I want could be delivered in song When all I want could be delivered in song Euphoria, I found ya I found you

Remember 04:05
You gave me more than I had earned and taught me more than I could learn and asked for nothing in return how could I repay you? All I want is to be yours all I want is to be pure but for a time I wasn't sure and in this I betray you When I remember all that we've been through together I remember all that we can do together In love All I want is to be your champion and to endure every task that's set before me but men are feeble All you want is to share time, dreams and laughter a Hand of Glory burning for the moon above me when I remember all that we've been through together I endeavor to be yours and true and better In love

Torn 02:34
I don't know what to do I don't know how to choose If I should go or stay or if it's all the same cuz it's easy to see watching you watching me how I want it to be how you want it to be that you wanted to go off into the unknown I feel safe in the green I feel safe in my dreams when I'm torn and you're torn and I'm torn and I'm torn I don't know what to say I don't know how to change I don't know where to go and if i've made it so It's easy to see watching you watching me how I wanted to be how you wanted to be and if you go, I'll go off into the unknown because where you want to be is where I want to be When I'm torn and you're torn and I'm torn and I'm torn

Plastic shields and wooden swords rolling fields of golden corn this town two months ago they were buried under eight feet of snow Where we don't lock our doors Where I don't fear the future anymore Upstairs a door is closed unlocked but I never go Vermont six years ago the wind went wild as we let her ashes blow Kale got us all shook up he got a ticket and got a gun in this town two months ago I missed the blizzard and I missed the funeral Where we don't lock our doors Where I don't fear the future anymore Where we don't lock our doors Where I don't fear the future Anymore
