1.
Big House Verse 1: Learn for grades, do for money Think as you`re told Or you can`t join in No you`re not invited And you won`t deserve being at all Buy a big house Put a bigger fence around it See the world through thick glass And you`ll call it freedom But there will be no real breathing Chorus1: Take things in, throw things out Breath to live But there`s no heart inside Verse 2: Get things done get paid Go outside get laid Come back inside, cry I`d rather die Chorus 1 (instrumental) Chorus 1 Chorus 2: When I leave I won`t come back If I leave, I found a good place to hide
2.
Simple truth Verse 1: I`m fading out Cuz i`m not sure I want to fade in I`m used to lies How can I tell what`s true Verse 2: I`m trying to shed my evil off Slow and safe I just hope it`s not too late Chorus 1: When I deny my sorrow I deny my joy But i`m just time and circumstance And I know I don`t know Verse 3: Money is just a mean It`s not why we are And with more laws there`ll be more criminals But that`s not what we are Chorus 2: I don`t deserve my wings If I don`t wanna fly But all I feel is gravity And when I deny my sorrow I deny my joy But i`m just time and circumstance And I know I don`t know (instrumental) Chorus 2 Forgive me I am lost Forgive me I don`t know where to start
3.
Dark waters Verse 1: My thoughts on paper They`ll dissolve in water My feelings I hope Would be more clever I forgot to lock the door Bad dreams come faster than before I`m scared to lose what I have earned Chorus 1: There`s playing outside I wish there was more playing inside Though I try I know I can`t turn off the evil That comes at night That comes when I close my eyes Verse 2: I live in books and things I see I don`t really live in me I dive inside and nothing could fish me out Forgetting things I wish I kept Hoping to take them to my grave Only remember people when they die Chorus 1 (inst.) Chorus 1 Chorus 2: A walking paradox A happy child with old eyes A singing mute I wanna shine and hide at the same time When I die will it matter If i`m remembered
4.
Even living Verse 1: With first light I walk A reality made of sound I`ve been up all night Sleeping but up I think i`m still asleep I can`t tell anymore So now i`m following the light I`m ahead but behind Can you teach me to remember nothing But know who I am The wheres, the whys, the whats They`re too heavy for my shoulders Chorus: The sky is too deep The sea is too high The future becomes afraid of the past Verse 2: With one life I try To find some kind of meaning Something coherent While I keep getting drunk Can you teach me to think of something That`s never been thought of The rights, the wrongs, the maybes I`ll ban them from existence Chorus With first light I walk And i`m not getting anywhere With one life I try And the victims are everywhere Chorus Afraid of the past
5.
You Verse 1: You got me a book To write my songs So I wrote you down You came when I opened my heart You keep it open ever since Chorus: You are a light to me Even when you don`t feel you shine You are something i`ve searched That I could only hope to find Verse 2: You move me in ways I can`t explain You take me in your arms And I know I deserve love You bring me back when I get lost And remind me what is real Chorus Verse 3: Step by step i`m learning you Since you magically appeared For a while now I can picture our kids The family we`ll build Chorus 2: You are something i`ve searched That I could only hope to find I wish that I could keep you from all harm Block the cold world outside And shut the blinds
6.
Start again Verse 1: Tonight i`m breathing Not through my nose Paralyzed from the neck up I think I lost my voice A feeling arises Says i`m supposed to right the wrong Mixed business with pleasure Not fun anymore Chorus: Don`t just try Don`t just try Don`t just try You know what to do Verse 2: Give up the sadness Singing in my head The rain it has meaning A chance to start again A feeling arises Says i`m supposed to know what`s best Fear not what`s coming Inevitable is death Chorus x2 (inst.) Chorus x2
7.
Spring Verse 1: I`m coming halfway Meet me there The noise won`t come in if we don`t let it When you`re in it You can`t remember nothing else Take your sorrow And turn it into something else Chorus 1: Time was made by us And now it controls us Verse 2: I`m coming over Meet me there It`s been so long since i`ve seen your smile You are in it You can`t remember who you are She is in there Waiting until she`ll be found Chorus 2: Lies are our invention They do nothing for our protection Verse 3: I`m breaking halfway I`m not there It`s been so long since I settled down I am in here I can`t remember whats outside Spring is coming Maybe it will open my eyes Chorus 1: Time was made by us And now it controls us
8.
The Child You Were Verse 1: I wanna go back to the child you were Hold her tight and tell her She is loved I wanna tell her she`s not alone The weight of the world is not On her little shoulders Chorus: I want you to feel me everywhere you go My heart was smaller Before you came along You asked for my hand I gave you my all I will song to you Till I have no voice Verse 2: I wanna go back to the little child you were Give her everything she deserved Tell her to open her heart And be patient The universe hears her call Chorus Don`t fear the fear I`m here I love you more Than I did the day before You`re safe now Chorus I will sing for you Till I have no voice
9.
Underwater Verse 1: Listen to my fears They sound just like my dreams They are two sides Of the same thing Put my name in a circle And make a sun out of me Chorus: I never could trade hats And just smile cuz I have to When there`s too much noise inside I put my head under water Verse 2: Nothing here is mine I`m just passing through I guess i`ll grow to like Being powerless I will try To just save myself Chorus I`m ruining today With thoughts of tomorrow I`m ruining tomorrow If I don`t think of today Chorus
10.
Whatever Who else if not you I chase myself around you I can`t keep hiding like this I`m ready for failure As i`m not dressed for success I don`t say Whatever happens i`m ok I should start over So many things are wrong here Guilty until proven innocent Crying won`t help you Not when everything scares you I don`t say Whatever dies here i`m ok
11.
Freedom to lose Verse 1: If I keep my wounds Above my heart It has to stop the bleeding Then i`ll play along I`ll play my song And maybe i`ll be loved Verse 2: Dear butterflies Please leave my stomach I know i`ll miss you when you`re gone But this is too much Just too much Verse 3: When it`s raining I have the world to myself I can go out even if I want That no one will laugh at me if I fall Even if I fall Chorus Don`t forget your past just don`t live in it All I can promise you is the freedom to lose In a minute you`ll hear something you don`t wanna hear Then you`d love to hate me too Too much power in the hands of too few With too much power I will destroy myself, too Chorus
