Lyrics

It's too easy to tumble on yourself
Comforting to hang on to old books on the shelf
With Easy destinations without weary knees
Everybody knows what it looks like
But how does it feel

You give me wrongs, get you rights
Tell me everythin' you need
But you just don't know Whatcha got

Well you're busy flipping papers
Thinking over what you're making
Or thinkin' over what you're not
It's your disease of the soul
Trippin' your mind out of control
Well these bones are for breaking
Living underneath your clothes
You've got it all, you've got a lot,
More than most people ever come to know

You give me wrongs, get you rights
Tell me everythin' you need
But you just don't know Whatcha got

Before the needle hits the sun
When you're counting every step 'til the day is done
Take your time take it slow drink your wine
Use your hands use your eyes hold someone

You give me wrongs, get you rights
Tell me everythin' you need
You give me wrongs, get you rights

Lyrics

I am cold I am weary take me home
catch a glimpse of the morning sun and the rain that follows
I have traveled as far as tracks will take me
It's too crowded for lonely eyes to bare

I see people laughin'
But they won't set me free
I know one thing for certain
you're the only one i need

Yes I was slow to move, I'm no solider
What good is a weapon you can't shoot
I know the hour is late and you won't take me
But that doesn't stop my heart from loving you

I see people laughin'
But they won't set me free
I know one thing for certain
You're the only one i need

Yes days are long but nights are longer
And it's not so easy to forget
But there's no use in wasting your tears
When there's a whole world out there

I see people laughin'
But they won't set me free
I know one thing for certain
You're the only one I need

Lyrics

When we were young when we had free hearts
Before our youth tore my confidence apart
Beautiful but faceless growin' into changes
And laugh about nothing, drift me apart

Go to work go to school Go to learn go to play
Buy a house, drive a car, shoot your rounds of masquerade
Spitting on each other just to get staged
It's not your fault as long as you get paid

It's not the things you say its what you don’t that hurts
Livin' easy on a one night stand with the truth

These are the things we do everyday
These are the things we do everyday
These are the things we do everyday
These are the things we do everyday

People takin' pills for their age
Changing up face as theyre changing wage
Perfection carved into little girls brains
By executive power hungry wheelers digging into graves

Children with nothing grateful for breath
People handed everything wishing for death
Workin' fifty hours just to pay the rent
Get your piece of paper get your conscience bent

It's not the things you say its what you don’t that hurts
Livin' easy on a one night stand with the truth

These are the things we do everyday
These are the things we do everyday
These are the things we do everyday
These are the things we do everyday

Point your swords to the battered gates
March them to the steps of fire and flame
Carve your crooked wisdom into polititians names
And wave your banners for three seconds of fame.

It's not the things you say its what you don’t that hurts
Livin' easy on a one night stand with the truth

These are the things we do everyday
These are the things we do everyday
These are the things we do everyday
These are the things we do everyday

Lyrics

All the worlds we once made
Where nothin' was as hard to explain
Sleepin' on the steps like unborn soldiers
Waiting for the bells to ring just like they told us

But the people they all changed
And their faces burned with age
And somewhere along the line, experience met with comprimise and
Made you change direction

Well nothin' good comes so easy
Excuses make it harder to reason
Well I won't wait around for fate
To plan the day of my Escape

And people will be laughin'
As they cross their hearts and minds
As if they'd already made it
Or did they just stop walkin'

Tell all your Sons and daughters
That their lives aint already made up
Just cause you stopped with the shake up
doesn't mean a damn thing

Well nothin' good comes so easy
Excuses make it harder to reason
And I won't wait around for fate
To plan the day of my Escape

Throw me in the waters I'll go under
Burn me with your curses and your pockets
And send me to where they make the orders
But don't go expectin' any changes

And take me to the wisdom of your Fathers
Read me a thesus of healthy garbage
And tell me what you did when you were younger
So I can kindly disregard it

Well nothin' good comes so easy
Excuses make it harder to reason
Well I won't wait around for fate
to plan the day of my Escape

Lyrics

In a late december evening
Between the moon and the smoky stairs
She was frozen inside an everlasting frame
All I really want is just to know her name

Faces passing by me, sihlouettes dancing near
One thing I remember, one face is clear
And if you were to know her you would feel the same
All I really want is just to know her name

When I am alone, captured with my thoughts
When I settle into nights from many things gone by
I am reminded of her distance on the moonlit stairs
I have nothing on my mind to keep me from the tears

I am fooling myself if I think I can trust my own thoughts
And I know I am weak, I know it hurts
But isn't that what comes with anything so sweet
She's just the kind of girl I think I'd like to meet

In a late December evening
Between the moon and the smoky stairs
She was frozen inside an everlasting frame
All I really want is just to know her name

Lyrics

Did you get what you came for
And are you strong enough to change
I feel used you let me down
But nothing else could stop me now

More than words to depend on
More than words to depend on
More than words to depend on
More than words to depend on

Every cause you ever got put down for
And every word they used you up for
It gets you shot for saying what matters
And you get down when you realize

That you need more than words to depend on
More than words to depend on
More than words to depend on
More than words to depend on

Lyrics

Well I don't believe ya
And I don't believe ya
When you're smilin' through your teeth
I know you're lyin'

Well my eyes are just too weary
For your silly offbeat theories about love
And silly little things like that

Well I didn't try to blame ya
Oh it's not my fault you're ashamed
Of the things that brought you knockin' at my window

Well my eyes are just too weary
For your silly offbeat theories about love
And silly little things like that

Well you can call me insensitive
Tell me I don't have a reason to live
But even I think you're much too smart for that

And you can call me insensitive
But how many times should I try to be a man
Who only exists in a magazine

Well I don't believe ya
You can beg but I'm leavin'
I'm not cut out to be played like a fool

Well my eyes are just too weary
For your silly offbeat theories about love
And silly little things like that

Well you can call me insensitive
Tell me I don't have a reason to live
But even I think you're much too smart for that

And you can call me insensitive
But how many times should I try to be a man
Who only exists in magazines

Well I don't believe ya
And I don't believe ya
When you're smilin' through your teeth
I know you're lyin'

Well my eyes are just too weary
For your silly offbeat theories about love
And silly little things like that

Lyrics

You never cared much for names or words
As you slowly learned to shout and curse
At the ones who were always right to you

And somehow it's not your fault
As the faces on your cards slowly melted off
Or maybe Magic tricks never worked for you

Now you know how it feels
As you ride the morning bus in night time streets
Hoping that someone will still remember you

And now it's been raining for days
How is it you have all these words saved
You seem to to have a lot to say
under the weather

And now you know how it feels
And now you know how it feels
You never thought you'd never be so weak
When you're lonely in a Busy Street

Death shift coffee stains your teeth
As you stand out cryin' on the street for all the
Hustlers and Hipsters to throw their bones at you

And suddenly you feel the need for names
Just to make you feel a little more sane
But nobody hears you when you're drowning

And now you know how it feels
And now you know how it feels
You never thought you'd never be so weak
When you're lonely in a Busy Street

You can't say I didn't tell ya
That this kind of thing happens when you ignore
all the dirty things that last longer than a movie

He said that you were worthless
And you believed him
You let him get to you don't you see that
Or maybe he was your last exception

And now you know how it feels
And now you know how it feels
You never thought you'd never be so weak
When you're lonely in a Busy Street

Lyrics

Well there is a man on fire known to keep his guns
And the flags he burns and raises when the day is done
And the weary eyes of soldiers returning to the sun
As he rests his dirty head
On all the foolish things he'd done

And the prison couldn't keep his eager eyes from the land
And the people wanted glory from his sticky bones and hands
And for whatever reason he put his finger to the gun
And they shot him for the world to see
For all the foolish things he'd done

And the howlin' wolves and pirates all covered up their scars
As the people gathered round a bleedin' showcase under stars
And one by one they all shot him 'til his body was all done
And they clapped and cheered in victory
For the foolish things he'd done

And I asked him if he'd think he'd ever end up on the run
He said what man, I ain't got no use for any guns
And a heartbroken mother said he was an honest son
Til the day he pulled the trigger
From a foolish thing he'd done

And like Jesus before him they dripped him to the bone
And they raised his name in history for all the folks to know
And they wore him on their shirts and ties and howled his name for fun
And no longer did they remember
All the foolish things he'd done

Lyrics

I could hear the talking crows from miles away
Lay your heavy hands and your raincoats on me
'Cause nothin' you could say
Would change my mind anyway
I'll only come back stronger
So thank you and goodnight til another day

Do not waste your precious time I will get through
I am constantly reminded of my youth
But nothin' you could say
Would change my mind anyway
I'll only come back stronger
So thank you and goodnight til another day

Beneath the tired tracks from travelers passed
Where the breeze hits heavy
And dreamers sink to darkness
A child is right he says whats on his mind
But you wolves are worse,
You lay traps and screech in silence.
But nothing you could say
Would change my mind anyway
I'll only come back stronger
So thank you and goodnight til another day

I know you don't mean to wear me down,
But you just don't care
My lack of courage
Kept my mouth shut all these years
And don't confuse a quiet tongue
For one that is weak
I'll remember what you did to my soul
'Til the day I die, when I rest in peace

When your body breaks, when your knees shake
When your heart is aching
When your trembling hands won't hold to grip
From the mistakes you've been making

I will not be there to lift you from the ground
Well I wasn't good enough for you then,
And I am no better now
'Cause nothin' you could say
Would change my mind anyway
I'll only come back stronger
So thank you and goodnight til another day

Lyrics

I wonder what haunts you
When there's nobody else around
And I wonder what makes you happy
I wonder what you're thinkin' now

Memories left to haunt me
They fade day by day
And I've wandered just to find ya'
When I'm too busy dreaming

I hear the voice of sweet Surrender
Brings me closer by the day
And I hear the voice of my defender
Mixing words for me to say

Memories left to haunt me
They fade day by day
Don't need no reason to stop me
When I'm too busy dreaming
When I'm too busy dreaming

I know how well your mother taught ya
I know that you'll be doing well
Maybe you'll have sons and daughters
Perfect little soldiers I can tell

When my night turns into silence
Beneath the walls that I can stand
My mind beaten from holding moments
But moments don't last long, do they

Memories left to haunt me
They fade day by day
One day our lines might cross here
When you're too busy dreamin'
When you're too busy dreamin'

Lyrics

Can you hear the sound of the rain
With every beating drop it is the same
And I know that I could change
If I wanted to

Maybe it's the sound of your name
When I fell in love with words and situations
But I have nothing more to do or say
Strange I feel this way

You could spent a lifetime in conclusions
With nothing to depend on or to turn to
But I won't waste your time
So don't you worry about me, I'm doin' fine

Can you hear the whistlin' in the street
Well it seems to come from everyone I meet
Or is it that I am too obsessed
With everyone but me

And I'm sorry that I couldn't change my mind
Nothin' I could do would make this right
So I won't be using any of your time
Strange I feel this way

You could spent a lifetime in conclusions
With nothing to depend on or to turn to
But I won't waste your time
So don't you worry about me, I'm doin' fine

Hello teacher hello sons
I will fight until the war is won
With every lasting breath and every gun
Until the midnight sun
Content with what I've done
