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

I Need to Know
04:26

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

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
