At the back of the band Keeping time strong but you don't understand So you wont sing along The most beautiful sounds Come from the unknown Up from underground So you better stoop down low Show me what you've got I won't think of you as weak No one's asking you to Get down on your knees Take it like the man That you say you are You can still be strong And sing with her Do what you must To satisfy your mind Placate it with lies But stay away from mine You hold your cards to your chest And you want the table too But you've got to leave some room For me to make my move Show me what you've got I won't think of you as weak No one's asking you to Get down on your knees Take it like the man That you say you are You can still be strong And sing with her Show me what you've got I won't think of you as weak No one's asking you to Get down on your knees Take it like the man That you say you are You can still be strong And sing with her Show me what you've got I won't think of you as weak No one's asking you to Get down on your knees Take it like the man That you say you are You can still be strong And sing with her

I am sharp I am round I am laying on the ground I am wide I am narrow I am flying Like a sparrow I am down on my knees And I am carried by the breeze I am somewhere in between But I am all that I can be I am lost I am found I have a weight I carry round I am blind I can see I am weightless I am free I am stumbling though the dark And I am running through the park I am somewhere in between But I am all that I can be Sometimes you might try You give it all you've got And it's like all you gave Got lost But I wont Break my heart in two To give half a heart To anything I do I am silent I am loud I am lost In the crowd I am weak I am strong I am right Where I belong And I am everybody else But I am certain of myself I am somewhere in between But I am all that I can be Sometimes you might try You give it all you've got And it's like all you gave Got lost And I wont Break my heart in two To give half a heart To anything I do I am sharp I am round I am laying on the ground I am wide I am narrow I am flying Like a sparrow I am down on my knees And I am carried by the breeze I am somewhere in between But I am all that I can be I am somewhere in between But I am all that I can be

Can this be real Cause that's not how it's feels From my bubble of isolation What can the day reveal With all we've seen On televison screens I could offer my consolations But what would that achieve 'Cause there aint' that much that I can do now But lie on the couch and watch it play out Aint' that much that I can do 'bout The fire the flood and all of my doubts Control is hard to find When was it ever really mine It's an added dcomplication I think I'll let it slide And I'll see you friend At what we will call that end We can start up a conversation There are bridges we can mend 'Cause there aint' that much that I can do now But lie on the couch and watch it play out Aint' that much that I can do 'bout The fire the flood and all of my doubts 'Cause there aint' that much that I can do now But lie on the couch and watch it play out Aint' that much that I can do 'bout The fire the flood and all of my doubts 'Cause there aint' that much that I can do now But lie on the couch and watch it play out Aint' that much that I can do 'bout The fire the flood and all of my doubts

Bittersweet 04:21
I was smiling all the whole way home Thinking of jokes we told so long ago And no I couldn't tell you word for word But things I heard set my heart a glow And I would like to say it stayed the same But when there's something lost And nothing gained It's changed Oh you've been flipped around Turned inside out It was always there But I see it now It was always going to be Bittersweet I can still taste the sunshine After I've come in from the heat And there are things I had to learn I never thought that you would teach Oh when the honey has stopped flowing Heartache is lying underneath The nights were short when we threw it back That liquid truth kept us intact To live so recklessly is oh so fun A little pain never hurt no one But then the morning aches made us think twice How low we felt Wasn't worth the high But there's a drop or two still in my veins And only the sweetest will remain It was always going to be Bittersweet I can still taste the sunshine After I've come in from the heat And there are things I had to learn I never thought that you would teach Oh when the honey has stopped flowing It was always going to be Bittersweet I can still taste the sunshine After I've come in from the heat And there are things I had to learn I never thought that you would teach Oh when the honey has stopped flowing Heartache is lying underneath

Wolves 04:01
No man is an island We are built from blood and bone But there will come a time when Man will find himself alone Maybe I could have found you If you had just made yourself known But maybe you didn’t care to And I was overthrown And oh I tried to change you Though you made it clear you ain't Now all that misplaced blame Turns to hate And I won't take it back Every wolf has had a pack once before And I gave to you all I now lack Oh the wolves are howling at the door Did I ever really love you Or was it just an ego trip Oh to love something so broken There's nothing more selfless Did I ever really need you Or was it just your fatal kiss Cause when I planned my self-destruction You were there to hit the switch I know you tried to tell me But I thought that I knew best Now all that misplaced blame Is laid to rest And I won't take it back Every wolf has had a pack once before And I gave to you all I now lack Oh the wolves are howling at the door And I won't take it back Every wolf has had a pack once before And I gave to you all I now lack Oh the wolves are howling at the door Oh the wolves are howling at the door No man is an Island

I held my own Knew in my bones What I believed And I knew where I stood And I thought I knew What was good for me I saw light and shade Knew night and day For what they were ‘Til I felt the cold Of this February snow Now I'm not so sure And the lambs take their first steps On a blanket of white Then you can hear the rain pouring On a summer's night When nothing anymore Is too hard to believe And you know anything can happen Then you are free I had a plan Held in my hands A piece of my mind But my plan a solid as sand Blew across the land And dust is hard to find And now the lambs take their first steps On a blanket of white Then you can hear the rain pouring On a summer's night When nothing anymore Is too hard to believe And you know anything can happen Then you are free All I know now Is covered with the ground Snow it falls down It makes no sound All I know now Is covered with the ground Snow it falls down It makes no sound All I know All I know And the lambs take their first steps On a blanket of white Then you can hear the rain pouring On a summer's night When nothing anymore Is too hard to believe And you know anything can happen Then you are free

I'll Go 03:17
Expectations high as the kite You would fly as a child You took your chances oh you tried But when it flew it went wild Anticipation lies with you at night Sets you up for a fall of your own design You’ve set your sights on the highest heights And if you can’t get there you’ll die trying And I've been reading from this map for sometime now And though I wrote it I still can't figure it out And if you just say the word then babe I’ll go But I don’t know what the word is Maybe you said it long ago Comprehension it clears your mind And clouds keep moving across its sky The more it shows you of what it hides The more of your wonder gets left behind There could be an explanation Written in stone It could tell me all I need to know But stones get broken oh they change their shape So you might as well write it in water cause it's changing anyway And I've been reading from this map for sometime now And though I wrote it I still can't figure it out Oh if you just say the word then babe I’ll go But I don’t know what the word is Maybe you said it long ago And I've been reading from this map for sometime now And though I wrote it I still can't figure it out Oh if you just say the word then babe I’ll go But I don’t know what the word is Maybe you said it long ago And I've been reading from this map for sometime now And though I wrote it I still can't figure it out Oh if you just say the word then babe I’ll go But I don’t know what the word is Maybe you said it long ago

A Minute 04:11
I've taken a chance or two I've over paid my dues And still I believe That nothing comes for free I have reached out my hand I've held onto what I can I have reached out my hand And gave away the ground on which I stand I've been looking through windows I could see all I couldn't touch But I never felt the wind blow 'Til you opened them up When you have everything to lose And you still choose To give it your all You've given you shelter away And there's a chance of rain You know you've taken a fall But I'd put it all on the line For a minute of your time I remember oh so well Each time I thought I fell I had only been stumbling 'Til you send me tumbling I've been looking through windows I could see all I couldn't touch But I never felt the wind blow 'Til you opened me up And when you have everything to lose And you still choose to give it your all You've given you shelter away And there's a chance of rain You know you've taken a fall And when you have everything to lose And you still choose to give it your all You've given you shelter away and there's a chance of rain You know you've taken a fall But I'd put it all on the line I'd put it all on the line I'd put it all on the line For a minute of your time

Lowlights 03:29
And it starts with a rolling wheel As it's gathering speed I’m gathering need And it's rolling out of control As it loses its losing its way I do the same And it starts with a flashing light In the middle of the day It can make no change ‘Till the sun turns its back on the world And every blink another reason to think When every road becomes a highway Every valley a black hole Oh well I would take this lightly It's too heavy for me to hold So take what you can and go Before the lights get low And it starts with a single word On the tip of your tongue And it goes left unsung ‘Til they’re pouring out of your mouth Like some kind of symphony But there's only one of me And in the noise I know my own voice I know who I am and I know where I stand So tell the violins to play on high Play every note I’ll know which ones I wrote When every road becomes a highway Every valley a black hole Oh well I would take this lightly It's too heavy for me to hold So take what you can and go Before the lights get low Every road becomes a highway Every valley a black hole Oh well I would take this lightly It's too heavy for me to hold So take what you can and go Before the lights get low Take what you can and go Before the lights get low

Open Hands 02:52
Come on over I hate this My door is open You know that I hate this I hope that I don't freeze So I put on a fire in the kitchen I can't sleep my eyes Are twitching Like a child on Christmas Eve And that glimmer of hope Will be all that I know Of your love ‘Cause I'm always one step behind I'm always standing in a line And I always want what I can't have So I’ll wait patiently with Open hands I was never longing from a distance I was by your side And oh how I miss it now I took what I could get And no I never worked up the courage I don't regret giving you my love And I I would do it all again At least I have those glances I stole And those moments I hold so near ‘Cause I'm always one step behind I'm always standing in a line And I always want what I can't have So I’ll wait patiently I’m always one step behind I'm always standing in a line And I’ll always want what I can't have So I’ll wait patiently with Open hands My hands are empty yet again Open hands All I’m catching is the rain

I Don't Care 04:37
I'll lay down And I'll feel my heart beat against the ground I'll build a bridge And I’ll let you walk all over it it I'll hold my tongue And I'll taste your footprints as you run And I'll swallow my pride To accommodate that look in your eyes I don't care what you've done It's on me again I don't care what you've done And let you be my friend And now I'm picking the pieces up off the ground And I'm carrying this heart of glass around I’ll find my strength It’s held from me at arms length But my hands are tied And the ropes are coming from inside I know I am to blame When all of my endeavors and the same But I’ll put down my foot And I’ll stand steady like I should I don't care what you've done It's on me again I don't care what you've done And let you be my friend And now I'm picking the pieces up off the ground And I'm carrying this heart of glass around Time after time after Time and time again Oh I don’t want anything in return And I’ll be your friend Oh time after time after Time and time again Oh I don’t want anything in return But you could let me let it end You could let me let it end You could let me let it end I don't care what you've done It's on me again I don't care what you've done And let you be my friend And now I'm picking the pieces up off the ground And I'm carrying this heart of glass around
