Lyrics to Celebration :
Every notion of sensation
Has already left my body
Every bone that started breaking
Is a cause for celebration

So now I wait for...
I hope I can make it through these days
These days

Every night's a celebration
Every night's a f***ing party
There's no reason for salvation
This irony was all we wanted

So now I wait for
I hope I can make it through these days
These days, these days

Trying to understand as someone else
Trying to pull myself from underground
Trying to understand I'm someone else
Trying to stand as my legs begin to bend

Because everything breaks as it changes
Everything crumbles to the sea
Everything fails as I am fading
out of a memory
out again

Lyrics to Sister Golden Hair :
Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
Now I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

Lyrics to Your Love :
Josie's on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I wanna say
You know I like my girls a little bit older
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

I ain't got many friends left to talk to
Nowhere to run when im in trouble
You know I'd do anything for you
Stay the night - but keep it under cover

I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

Try to stop my hands from shakin'
Somethin' in my mind's not makin' sense
It's been awhile since we've been all alone
I can't hide the way I'm feelin'

As you leave me please would you close the door
and don't forget what I told you
Just 'cause you're right - that don't mean I'm wrong
Another shoulder to cry upon

I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
Yeah
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
lose your love
lose your love
lose your love
yeah
lose your love
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

Lyrics to Direction :
Run away when you are down.
Pick up the pace cause you fear the sound of mistakes
that are getting closer every time.
Time is catching up to you.
You keep on trying to escape your problems,
but problems keep on catching you.
You should try to turn the other way and escape your lies.
You run with no direction,
can you find direction now?
Say when you'll never change,
I'm hoping that you'll say.
But I doubt it will come,
and I doubt it will stay,
and I doubt if you want me anyway.
Can you find direction now?
You run with no direction

Lyrics to Easy Way Out :
Easy way out You said so yourself, I always took the easy way out, but you can't see me coming down when you're jumping ship. I thought we wanted more, I guess I was wrong. You can't take the easy way out, it's not that easy now. You can't take that easy way, and you'll think I'll stay, but like the years, I'm drifting away. You said so yourself, this time, I won't take the easy way out. The truth is what I'm all about. But I should have known, you're the same way you were before

Lyrics to Sacrifice Of Life :
You dream to waste too long, been counting on those you knew as friends. Just to see them turn and plot and fall before you. The sacrifice of life for them you'd make but now you know as lies, just replace yourself with those who feel the same way that you do. When you think that life has done you wrong, pushed you down enough, don't shake your head and say o.k. Because if you think my life is yours to wrong-then call me on my bluff, and you'll turn and run away. The pain behind my eyes was recognized from the time you came to me. But cigarettes can cloud my mind for only just so long. To disrespect my intellect through ways and means you can't confuse. It breaks my heart and it tears me up inside. I should have learned not to sacrifice myself. Don't fall beneath me. I should have learned not to contradict myself. Don't crawl beneath me. But now I've learned to see myself with someone else. You say its o.k. for me to want to, you tell me its alright for me to be sad. Is the time now for redemption?

Lyrics to Living In Spite :
Tearing pictures of the wall, you took the fall from truth so everyone could see that you don't live your life for me. You live for you and there's nothing I can do, but try to climb out the trenches I've dug cause I can't see underground. I'm not saying that I understand what it's like to be living in spite, but five years from now it'll all seem so trite. I'm sleeping today so I can wake in your arms tonight

Lyrics to Just Rock & Roll :
you can never tell me i shouldn't walk away
its foolish to assume that ill be coming back another day
you were never right and i was never wrong
does truth lie in sincerity of another sullen song
cause you were right then i should have been the one to release it
its coming back to tease me
but i was just born and you're pride was too strong
can you change it?
are you willing to face it?
you can tell your story and coat it any way
but you will never change who you trying to play
now your friends are falling out
they know you just don't care
they know you never did
because they say always
the first one is never as good as the next.
hey, it's just rock and roll
even though you might think you lost it all.
cause the times they are a changin
and who can predict what's next
hey, you lost control
even though you might have thought you had it all
and hey, it's just rock and roll
and i'll never change
i love it just the same
i'll never change
because i love it just the same
god i wish i could hate you the rest of my life
god i wish i could hate you for the rest of my
nothing would make me happier

Lyrics to Direction :
Run away when you are down.
Pick up the pace cause you fear the sound of mistakes
that are getting closer every time.
Time is catching up to you.
You keep on trying to escape your problems,
but problems keep on catching you.
You should try to turn the other way and escape your lies.
You run with no direction,
can you find direction now?
Say when you'll never change,
I'm hoping that you'll say.
But I doubt it will come,
and I doubt it will stay,
and I doubt if you want me anyway.
Can you find direction now?
You run with no direction

Lyrics to Recluse :
i've heard advice that anger soon subsides
and you go on with your life
and gain new insight
but inside i'm thinking that just wont suffice
cause i'm sure i'd like to take it back
and kill it at the start
yeah
we're going far
yeah
it's from the heart
yeah
we're taking care of every single one of us
who do you trust
if we could be recluse
and i could inflict a lifetime of abuse
anywhere i'd be killing you
my anger still persists
and it will not desist until i manifest on you
it will not desist until i manifest
wouldn't it be swell to test how thin i wear
when i remember you

Lyrics to Another Boy :
have you found the person
that you want to spend your life with
or do you want?
do you want another . . .
you can't proscribe affection
because you're scared to live about it
do you want another boy?
can't erase the other one
so we waste each other
character lies in intent
do you want another boy

Lyrics to Let Go :
i know you'll never lose
what's lost inside you
you're burning down the bridges
you've crossed
and you're still around
so nothing's certain
just let go
we deserve it
if i could chose to start it over
i'd exercise more discretion
the lies are abound
and nothing's certain
do you have good intentions?
come on
let go of those affectations
you don't fool anyone
come on
let go
if you want to take on
the years won't say what happened to you
what gains have you earned
what friends have you trampled over
when you're around
nothing's certain
just let go
we deserve it
come on and let go,
come on and let go

Lyrics to No Place Feels Like Home :
Regrets are worthless,
They misconstrue the past in sight and the sound,
And as lines recede,
No one speaks a word of his lust,
A word of dreams that are left to rust,
The tv's on and everyone stays calm.

Regrets are worthless,
The time has passed,
And no one understands,
And to say the least,
The years have been unfair.

I wanted to tell you I miss it,
i just want to let you know,
The last year has helped me grow,
I want to take you on the road,
Where we'd go I'll never know,
Will you come along?
It's easier when no place feels like home.

Regrets are worthless,
And the time has passed,
Which no one understands,
The years have been unfair to this point,
I said, I want out,
I want to take you out of this,
We're going to California,
And I want to take you on the ride.

It's easier when nowhere feels like...

I'll set things right,
This time, direction, in which to go,
I'll set things right, I'll say goodnight. Goodnight

Lyrics to Such A Person :
this isn't about you or the life
she's lead through you
just every passing day leaves me wondering
what is really true
expecting to find you sleeping
soundly through and through
sadness comes misplaced
and ends are means
by which to uncover truth
happiness will come
when you are with the one
who can take you to places you never were
but always knew i'm coming for the ride
and you say it's too safe inside
you cannot realize
it's taking time
i'm taking it in stride
i'm sure it's safer inside
you just can't realize
but you're such a person
wake up every morning
every morning with her name in your head
you can survive
but you say i'm not half
what i wish-
i was so much back
then there is no end
and no room for pretend
feeling only this
i cannot fathom it
there's no escape from uncertain fate
there is no excuse
why did this happen to you
can our lives be made up from what's been left in time
you're feeling
time crushing at the spine
and you're tired
and i'm tired
we're so tired
yeah
you're tired inside
you just can't realize what's wrong
or what it's like to be
something on you've come a long way
and i know everything feels gone
will you see this through
or will you say it's through
everything seems so gone to you

Lyrics to We Bring Us Down :
if i shut my eyes
i'd never see you
the lies would vanish too
i'd have to squint to find truth
what's right?
the weight is huge to reach conclusions
where were you when conscience called
what a mess we're in now
pulling out would be twice as hard
than to live it all down
bring us down

Lyrics to Knew It All Along :
you can say i knew it all along
that you were all i wanted
to know the pain has made you grow strong
the scars inside have made you beautiful
stop breathing for me
you said it's your right to shun dependence
and you shun
and you're scared to accept
someone to share your regrets
when you're aching
you go it alone
when you want to
you take what you need to make you whole
i know it's not easy
i know i can't feel through what you have been and trust
don't come easy
'cause to trust is to depend
and who wants to give up that part of them
you know you can have it
if you want to
i'll find you unrelated, cultivated
when you wake up incubated in me
you're free to leave
if you knew it all along

Lyrics to Resting Sound :
she's rising
and i'm sinking
i'm losing sleep
she's resting
sound in bed with such variety
i'm driving
and she's finding
that she'll survive
when i'm long gone
do i stay in your mind at least?
there's so much time
and nowhere left to go
she's overcompensating
for what she can never let go of
there's so much time
and nowhere left to go
am i just an escape
for time to pass through
she's lying
and i'm thinking
she's trying to forget it all
a memory of the past i'll be
i'm buying
that she's trying
the threat is clear
and growing strong
i dream to have such clarity
it's all i'm thinking about
i guess i'll figure it out
i'll think
i'll drink to each new lesson
ignore the passing of days
eventually i'll fade
and in the end
it's just a lesson

Lyrics to Frayed Ends :
Fraying all the ends
You are the last one who can recognize his friends
And nothing ever changes
You're always exchanging peace of mind
For everything you want
Everything.
You want it all
I can see it in your eyes
I can see right through you
There's nothing to you
You’re telling lies
And you'll surround yourself with
Everyone who says what you need to feel all right
Why can’t you be strong?
Fraying all the ends
You are the last one who can recognize his friends
And nothing ever changes
You're always exchanging peace of mind
For everything you want
Everything.
You want it all
I can see it in your eyes
I can see right through you
There's nothing to you
You conjure lies
And you'll surround yourself with
Everyone who says what you need to feel all right
Everyone who speaks the words
That make you perpetually contrived
They say what you want to hear
Say what you want to hear
What you want to
Why can't you be strong?

Lyrics to Become What You Hate :
I thought I found someone
I thought I had something I could trust
I still can't believe what happened
It's not that you lied to us
It's not that our friendship was a front
It's just that I can't see the real in you

Yeah for years I was afraid
Now I can finally say

That I'm afraid that you've become
Everything that you had hated
I'm waiting
For this to blow away

How could I have been so blind
How could I have ignored so many signs
Especially when my friends warned me
About your deceptive side
And that your friendship was a lie

Yeah for years I was betrayed
Now I can finally say

That I'm afraid that you've become
Everything that you had hated
I'm waiting
For this to blow away

I've been working for
Something oh so fake
But it's never too late

To correct the faults
So many others made
I know you don't care about whats right or fair

I heard you say your future is looking so great

I've been working for
Something oh so fake
But I'm not working for you no more

Lyrics to Still Trying :
Everyone's just looking for
a reason to go on
But every time I turn around
I feel that you are gone

And I know from my mistake before
I should have seen the truth
Do it one more time
And it'll be my fault for trusting you
Could I ever trust the words you say?

Still trying to say
That I can't forget what you did-no way
You're wasting my time, trying my patience
Still I can't forget what you did-no way

Everyone's just looking for
A person whom to trust
But every time I turn around
I feel that you are lost

Ignored what felt so wrong
To just play the fool once again
Gave up on feelings strong
And buried them
It seems so pointless

Lyrics to Get It Together :
Take off that make up honey
I know what you've been missing
I've got a card to send you home
It says "Try to forget those good times
Maybe you never were mine"
How has this pain helped you grow?
Because you've done so much with your life
To have to settle for
A need to feel, a need to try
A need to feel whole
Do you feel whole?

Maybe we'll see this through if we get it together
Maybe I'll get to you. If you get it together
Go. Try. Try to make yourself right
Go. Try. To make this right and move on with your life

Take of that make up honey
Why don't you ever listen?
I've got something I need to know 'cause I've tried
Tried to forget your past crimes
But were you ever just mine?
Was there something that I didn't show because...

Lyrics to Like A Movie :
She tries to erase
She tries to replace
How it feels, but I...
Know she can never go home
She tries to erase
She tries to replace
How it feels, but I...
Know she can never go home

Tried to forget about
Living a good life
Free of positions
Make her feel vulnerable
She's loved and she's lost
She failed in the call
She seeks to find the answer, now

Woke up today around 6 in the morning
Violently shaking, remembering what she once saw
She bared it alone
So she carried on
She seeks to find the answers for...

The reasons her life did not turn out...
More like a movie
She's trying to forget it all

She tries to erase
She tries to replace
How it feels, but I...
Know she can never go home
She tries to erase
She tries to replace
How it feels, but I...
Know she can never go home

The reasons her life did not turn out...
More like a movie
She's trying to forget it all
I don't believe in anything
But I believe in you
I never trusted anyone
But somehow I trust you
And if I fall away, someday you might find me
If I fall away, someday...

Lyrics to Like A Movie :

Lyrics to There's No Going Back :
I tried my best to let you know
That I'm not trying to test you
It's just so hard to let you go
When I have nothing against you

Save your breath this time
You'll need your strength to set this right

Look how far we've come
Oh yeah there's no going back
Look at what we've done
There's no sense in saying
That accusing you of using me ain't right
But I will not give up without a fight
Do or die
Yeah take it back

Fear not cause here's the answer
To your most pressing question
Fear not cause here's the answer
To your most pressing question come on

Lyrics to Perfect :
This time I think it could be perfect
But you'd push it away
I came here today with a purpose
Should I try or just let it go

'Cause these things I'd like to ask you
Are things I can't explain
Or should I keep your glance outside the porch last Saturday

Should I have succumbed to your courtesy
I could see you were trying to get my attention
But I pushed it away

This time I think it could be perfect
But you'd push it away

Tonight it seemed suddenly perfect
Still no promises made
The balance of power was shifted
Were you trying to let me in
Or was I trying so hard
That all my confidence was lost tonight
Confused and regretful I cracked
Swallowed it back
And left with no spine intact

Maybe we were meant to see what's right
See how this ought to be
Just a taste of life to see what's right
You made sense out of me
What a shame that we're slipping away now
I'm going away now
Off to see what's out there
'Cause you're all that's here for me
