Over My Head 03:12
Sometime ago I used to see you I'd creep down the stairs in my morning rush I'd sit in the rocking chair to talk with you You'd be waiting in your white robe just for me Ooh don't you know don't you know don't you know don't you know I wake up every morning feeling lost Oh you don't know you don't know you don't know you don't know I wake in the morning and you're gone You're gone You're gone You're gone I need you to see what you're doing to me If you can't see I can't be my only friend No! I'm tired of calling! I'm tired of waiting! I'm tired I'm tired I'm tired I'm tired I'm tired... Just tell me now what you gonna do with me Won't you pick me up when I am drowning What's that you said I'm in over my head I drown

My conscience dances around the room like Bats embracing their final doom They seek to demystify you Til your eyes turn a shade of blue But your hands are in tune with my fear They play melodies no one else can hear They shake new rhythms into my soul Move me to offer you all control I know I need the solid ground But I can't resist the sound of a distant life that is unplanned I'll find the will to find the way but while I delay I'll be building palaces on the sand Palaces on the sand Palaces with these hands Time moves quickly It pays no heed to my plea I want to build forests but can't plant trees When I'm struck by lightning branches I'll still stand And no one will thwart my unwritten plans I know I need the solid ground But I can't resist the sound of a distant life that is unplanned I'll find the will to find the way but while I delay I'll be building palaces on the sand Palaces on the sand Palaces with these hands

Box 04:14
I’m trapped here in this box I can’t seem to get out I’ve been listening to words Over and over again And over again Why do they want me to agree? They never give their love away for free They demand my undying devotion Don't understand I’m devoid of emotion For the ones who try to define If I’m really a branch on the vine I’m cutting corners in a box I’m creating I’m closing covers before I start debating This world can be so cold and calculating But in the end it’s my heart I start hating I start hating oh Why should I cry here desperately? Each day my walls pray to comfort me They take a stand on one pre-conceived notion They won’t expand like the creatures of the ocean Except to sing another line Even if the song isn’t mine I’m cutting corners in a box I’m creating I’m closing covers before I start debating This world can be so cold and calculating But in the end it’s my heart I start hating I’m cutting corners in a box I’m creating I’m closing covers before I start debating This world can be so cold and calculating But in the end it’s my heart I start hating I start hating oh My brain is breaking Breaking is my brain.... Tsst Oww.

Planet Alone 04:25
Mama's gonna take you home Mama's gonna throw you a bone Mama's gonna be your friend She's gonna love you til the end of time You never told me that you loved me when you said goodbye You never told me that you'd hold me when you said goodbye You never told me that you'd miss me when you said goodbye You never told me that you'd hurt me when you said goodbye Daddy's gonna take me home Daddy won't leave me alone Daddy's gonna be my friend He's gonna be proud of me I never told you that I loved you when I said goodbye I never told you that I'd hold you when I said goodbye I never told you that I'd miss you when I said goodbye I never told you that I'd hurt you when I said goodbye Don't you know that you're not getting off this planet alone? Not without me... Plan it alone... Not without me... Don't you know that you're not getting off this planet alone?

I've Got You 03:56
Match of this spirit’s longing Shackles unravel like string Shaking the depths of the darkness Surrendering everything Faint voice catches the distance Jaded untainted presence Noises are stale in the darkness Will I will it to commence? Will I will it to commence? Stimuli unjudging alibi De-dampening the time that wasn’t mine "Shhhs" can be heard inside the design I've got you DNA strands waiting to be strung Melting the words waiting on your tongue Breathing me in with a broken lung I've got you Patient and deliberate wait Diabolical debate Sweet memory to remind me That choice determined my fate Stimuli unjudging alibi De-dampening the time that wasn’t mine "Shhhs" can be heard inside the design I've got you DNA strands waiting to be strung Melting the words waiting on your tongue Breathing me in with a broken lung I've got you... Hiding inside of me  (De-dampen these eyes They still cry for you No time has passed by The time that was never mine)

Solo 02:40
Wait I didn’t mean to stop the pain from calling out to the one who could Take It all away in just one day...in just one day Wait I didn’t mean to stop the rain from falling down on a wall that would Break Under the weight of your heartache...of your heartache Now we’re solo Now we’re so low You and me are solo You and me are so low  Wait I didn’t mean to stop the train from hauling loads on the tracks that would Shake All the foundations you had laid that would decay Now we’re solo Now we’re so low You and me are solo You and me are so low You and me are so...

I am a chalk rock. I don't walk or talk I am a chalk rock. I don't walk or talk I don’t bark or walk to the park I don’t do much of anything (Bark bark bark bark bark Walk talk walk talk walk talk) A little girl picked me up one sunny day She placed me in her warm pocket. She’d never throw me away I’m a chalk rock and I doodle on the ground I’m a chalk rock that a little girl found When one side doesn’t work She turns me over She turns me over I feel so used and I feel so loved
