Breathing Underwater

In the fire of the summer heat
Make your way to the sacred streets
Far enough that you can’t be reached
In the height of the rolling sun
Curtains rise when you make it back
Hang your coat, hang your holy head
Put your feet up in the table’s edge
Like the child of a chosen man
I can see a light in your eyes
Drowning in a dirty disguise
I can show you how you can breathe
Underwater with your beautiful heart on your sleeve
So you can’t get your story straight
Where you loved, where you full of hate?
Heavy handed, an abandoned heart
Where you whole, where you torn apart?
I can see a light in your eyes
Drowning in a dirty disguise
I can show you how you can breathe
Underwater with your beautiful heart on your sleeve
The day has come to step out of the dark
At the end you can finally start
I can see a light in your eyes
Drowning in a dirty disguise
I can show you how you can breathe
Underwater with your beautiful heart on your sleeve

Find My Way Again
04:15
|
|||
I didn’t mean to lose your face
I only meant to keep mine
I’m looking for a higher place
I’m hoping for a lifeline
Would you be the one to figure it out this time?
Will you stay the same while I make up my mind?
Please find my way again
So heavy hearted when
All I can find is solitude
Can I just leave this up to you?
Please find my way again
Another way that you could look at this is proof
That I know I need you
But I could chew until I break my tooth
On a grain of truth
Would you be the one to figure it out this time?
Will you stay the same while I make up my mind?
Please find my way again
So heavy hearted when
All I can find is solitude
Can I just leave this up to you?
Please find my way again

On the ground with your face in the dirt
And the smell of the earth
But the plane keeps coming back around
On the ground
Your hands over your head
You could run again
But maybe you’ll just give up instead
You could call this inconvenient
But it might be what you needed
You can lay your head down
When you are safe and sound
Think fast or it’s over in a flash
Time to make a scene
Is it real or just a stupid dream?
Once again in the back seat
Tell ‘em to hurry
Take you to someone who just might believe
You could call this inconvenient
But it might be just what you needed
You can lay your head down
When you are safe and sound
Finally you can hide
Here on the other side
Outside the people walking by don’t know a thing
Inside your mind the truth could finally set you free
You’d like to blame us ‘cause we thought you were the one
But you mistook yourself for someone said and done
Outside the people walking by don’t know a thing
Inside your mind the truth could finally set you free
In the middle of the woods when you feel you might give up the fight
Any minute, any second you could start to see the light

Hungry Ghost
02:55
|
|||
I just can’t get out of my head
I’ve been hanging on by a thread
The harder I try the more I lose my grip
And the faster I run the more the fear digs in
Early in the morning I hate to see
The hungry ghost looking back at me
Standing in the mirror before my eyes
The hungry ghost with a face I recognize
Too much is not enough
Can’t seem to give it up
I can’t get this out of my head
All the different people I’ve been
If you see me again I might not look the same
If you call me again I might forget my name
Early in the morning I hate to see
The hungry ghost looking back at me
Standing in the mirror before my eyes
The hungry ghost with a face I recognize
Too much is not enough
Can’t seem to give it up
If I can fall asleep
Maybe I’l find him in my dreams
And barter my broken mind
For a slight reprieve
I would do anything
The harder I try the more I lose my grip
And the faster I run the more the fear digs in
Early in the morning I hate to see
The hungry ghost looking back at me
Standing in the mirror before my eyes
The hungry ghost with a face I recognize
Too much is not enough
Can’t seem to give it up
Too much is never enough
Can’t seem to give it up

Bad Time
02:56
|

Run like you made a break
Cover up your pretty face
Pray that the light will change
Just run like you made a break
It seems like I caught you at a bad time
Oh oh oh oh
You just want the truth
Oh oh oh oh
All I want is you
It took me too long to start
Hold it up while it fall apart
The last brick probably broke your heart
Yeah it took me too long to start
It seems like I caught you at a bad time
Oh oh oh oh
You just want the truth
Oh oh oh oh
All I want is you
All I want is you
Oh oh oh oh
You just want the truth
Oh oh oh oh
All I want is you

Lean In

This this the year we’ll make it clear
We’re gonna show ‘em what we’re made of
You’re gonna learn to let it burn
It won’t be one to walk away from
Head in the stars, well bless your heart
Sleeping so far away from home now
Never hold back or give it slack
This is the year, you’re finally here
While I waited for the rest of my life
Watching it pass me by
Holding the candle high
I found something at the end of the rope
Something that gave me hope
If I can catch a hold you know I’m never gonna let go
This this the year we’ll make it clear
We’re gonna show ‘em what we’re made of
You’re gonna learn to let it burn
It won’t be one to walk away from
Head in the stars, well bless your heart
Sleeping so far away from home now
Never hold back or give it slack
This is the year, you’re finally here
You say you’ve had enough
That you feel like giving up
Well I know where you are
The perils of this road
Look different when you’re not alone
So I’ll hold you and you hold on to me
I’ve been sending on the edge of a storm
Trying to keep myself warm
But we can begin to stand shoulder to shoulder and lean in
This this the year we’ll make it clear
We’re gonna show ‘em what we’re made of
You’re gonna learn to let it burn
It won’t be one to walk away from
Head in the stars, well bless your heart
Sleeping so far away from home now
Never hold back or give it slack
This is the year, you’re finally here
