I think about you when I see the sunrise
Can you show me what you see through those eyes?
Those eyes
I got half a story and a reason to rhyme
Your gentle whisper sends shivers up my spine
How much will it take to be true to you?
I'm laying it all out on the line
Can't keep you away
Keep you away
So all that I have I give you
I've had it happen where my feet don't touch the ground
But I never landed in waters so sweet and sound
Now you call my name and it rings like poetry
Spoken by the river on its way to the deep blue sea
How much will it take to be true to you?
I'm laying it all out on the line
Can't keep you away
Keep you away
So all that I have I give you
Can't keep you away
Can't keep you away
Can't keep you away

Just say you want more than I can give you
You only give to those who forgive you
For what you are when you come undone
Flash in the pan devotion
Flash in the pan devotion
I set out to cross the ocean
for flash in the pan devotion
Everyone's just another pattern
Another rung fused onto your ladder
When you reach the top it won't matter
Flash in the pan devotion
Flash in the pan devotion
I set out to cross the ocean
for flash in the pan devotion
In your speech I hear echoes of arrest
Through the silence you have openly confessed
You find solace in the middle of the room
A soul black hole so eager to consume what's around you
What a profound disguise
It's no surprise

Let your body lay loose
Fall into my arms
I'll be your shelter now
We'll make it feel like home
Rain drip droppin' on the roof
Filling you right in
Making you feel warm
In the heart of the storm
All the missing puzzle pieces are worth while
'Cause the picture comes together in your smile
All the missing puzzle pieces are worth while
'Cause the picture comes together in your smile
Leave that clock up on the wall
Let your hair tumble down
In every little way
That it wants to unwind
Could it be we found the last
Treasure of its kind
Right here in this room
Moving in our form?
All the missing puzzle pieces are worth while
'Cause the picture comes together in your smile
All the missing puzzle pieces are worth while
'Cause the picture comes together in your smile
Unfold into the night
Release all of your light
I know you (so open up)
Unfold into the night
Release all of your light
I know you deep inside
Let your body lay loose
Fall into my arms
I'll be your shelter now
We'll make it feel like home

How The People Dance
04:00

Fallen off the ledge you're on your feet again
That's how the people dance
That's how the people dance
You take a chance 'cause you're on the
wrong side of the street again
You had to roll the dice
So, Baby, don't think twice
You don't want to open up your eyes
Realize you've never been in command
You don't dare to open up your eyes
You're afraid of where you might land
Crooked politics and empty promises
That's how the people dance
That's how the people dance
In a world of hypocrisy and Nostradamuses
You've got to live in fear
the end is drawing near
You don't want to open up your eyes
Realize you've never been in command
You don't dare to open up your eyes
You're afraid of where you might land

Block Tower

Block tower to build and a block tower to topple down
For every mistake
and rule that you break
There's another one to make
Pieces - only in peaces can we afford
to build and build and build all over again
It should've been easier to find
a tower that could stand the test of time
Half the time building up the walls
Could have been spent learning how they fall
Circles running in circles tracing around
the patterns of the past
But if you do the math there's a spiral in your path
You've been gone for a long time wasting away
To build and build and build until it comes down
It should've been easier to find
a tower that could stand the test of time
Half the time building up the walls
Could have been spent learning how they fall
When the work is done
What will you do?
All that is new will become old again
When the work is done
What will you be?
Who will carry all of your pieces home?
'Cause every time you die you are reborn
A child unto the storm
A stranger to the form
Block tower to build and a block tower to topple down
For every mistake
and rule that you break
There's another one to make
When the Work is done the work is done
When the Work is done the work is done
When the Work is done the work is done

Shattered View
03:25
|

You are all alone tonight
To throw punches in another aimless fight
Her lies of love have got you blind
Battles waging inside your mind a shattered view
You're not good enough
You're not strong enough to survive
Severed trust, bitter lust running through your veins
You're not good enough
You're not bad enough - not a man
She brought you to your knees
But you're all alone tonight
You walked away from your fears and you're alright
Pick up pieces
You won't believe a broken window
can only leave a shattered view
You're not good enough
You're not strong enough to survive
Severed trust, bitter lust running through your veins
You're not good enough
You're not bad enough - not a man
She brought you to your knees

Making sense
Making sense
Making sense
out of this mess
And I say mine should've been right from the start of time
Yeah I say mine should've been right from the start of time
Yeah I say right from the start, right from the start of time
Second chance
Second dance
Is it intense for you?
And you say mine
Yeah you say mine should've been right from the start of time
Yeah you say mine should've been right from the start of time
Yeah you say right from the start, right from the start of time

Tumble Child

Seems to worsen by the day
We amputate tomorrow
And if you've seen the shore
Well I've got to open this door
Please understand there's nothing wrong
In this turbulence she sustains
Take down all your barriers and see how
Give it all you've got
Now, Tumble Child, get under!
Now, Tumble Child, get under!
Another breath to cast away
There ain't no pride to swallow
And if you know the score
There's no way to resist this war
Please understand there's no mistake
I'm only giving what I take
Dismantle your vehicle and change your frequency
Give it all you've got
Now, Tumble Child, get under!
Now, Tumble Child, get under the rolling tide
Succumb to dividends deeper down
Well you'll carry on 'til the want for dawn
gives into the need for morning light
Seems to worsen by the day
We amputate tomorrow
And if you've seen the shore
Well I've got to open this door
