A New Day 03:51
Just let go and they'll never know. Light will glow they won't see us go. Just let go and they'll never know. Every time I get this feeling then it starts to go away; All the words that you're repeating never add up anyway. Take this message that you're reading, burn it up and throw away; All the hours spent conceiving, now they're wasted anyway. Oh you'll never know Let it go, oh well never know. Light will glow, But we'll never know. Every time I get this feeling then it starts to go away; All the words that you're repeating never add up anyway. Take this message that you're reading, burn it up and throw away; All the hours spent conceiving, now they're wasted anyway. Oh, but we'll never know.

The Classes 02:44
What's bleeding through the outline? Only you can say. Etching morbid faces, Between the margin lines. Erasing me; Defacing me. We're sleeping through the classes Watching life go past us. Erasing me; Defacing me.

If we sniff you out of stonewalls And we kill the doubt you're full on. If there's no one left to call on You'll be in our debt from now on. No one's in right now to answer. Another vacancy in this ghost town. If we build this shrine to enter, And we top their graves with flowers. When they put us out to pasture, There will be nothing left but ashes. No one's in right now to answer. Another vacancy in this ghost town.

New Hope 03:27
If this plan falls apart in the middle, Something will be waiting for you on the other side. If this dream never starts to come alive, There will be something better for you on the other side. What you've seen from me is nothing at all. It doesn't come from me, I'm nothing at all. I could never find the hope on my own. Found out it was waiting for me on the other side. I could never want the world for what it was. The only thing that needed changing was in my mind. What you've seen from me is nothing at all. It doesn't come from me, I'm nothing at all.

On the street no one looks at me. Pass through walls, don't touch a thing. Through the power lines Lay in the back of minds. No the sleet don't bother me. I blend in, don't hear a thing. Nothing gets me down When there's not a soul around. While I'm stuck here, you all move around me. A thousand years, still no change in me. I'm almost home, but I can't get there.
6.
Took your life Before our eyes. Reach back over And make it right. Who said it's alright? One who held the knife? Reach down lower And cut the lights. Here's the life You didn't find As your heart beat Out the time. You were blind to What you left behind you. Hoping all is alright. . . Here's to life And drowning strife. Take a big shot And do it right. Don't let the light Burn out your eyes. Reach back over And shut the blinds. You were blind to What you left behind you. Hoping all is alright On the other side.

Eyes in the mirror Spies in our bedrooms Hide 'til it's over Flies in the rat hole below Now that we all know How can you sit back and watch While they're taking your freedom away? Now they see everywhere Now they hear everything But that's not the way it should be Will you fight back or concede? That's not the way it should be Who's gonna stand up with me? Eyes in the mirror Spies in our bedrooms Hide 'til it's over Flies in the rat hole Cries are muffled Rise rise rise Now they hear everything Now they see everywhere But that's not the way it should be We are supposed to be free That's not the way it should be We were supposed to be free Who's gonna stand up with me?

When you're dreaming late at night And you're too far to pass through the light. When I'm screaming in my mind And I'm too far to be heard in time. But I'm coming to I'm hearing you Around every corner of my mind; Around every corner is where you hide. Around every corner you're almost mine; Around every corner don't know what you might find. When you're leaving late at night And it's too late to get back in time. When you're stealing all the light And you know you can never make it right. But I'm coming to Yeah, I'm hearing you Around every corner of my mind; Around every corner is where you hide. Around every corner you're almost mine; Around every corner don't know what you might find.

Forest Vow 02:39
Something is in the air I'm breathing Cause now I'm left with feeling I'm sleeping in the ground. Hearing the forest sounds around us, There's someone down the trail and I'm losing all control. Slipping beyond compare, I'm tripping And no one cares to catch me I'm lost inside my head. How far is now? Try and forget this conversation It don't make sense man Broken; my body's feeling low. Tweaking and I am losing patience With all this shit and now it Is taking its toll. How far is now? Something is in the air I'm breathing Cause now I'm left with feeling Empty and alone.

A Day Off 03:47
You've been dragging me through the waste. You've been haunting me everyday. I'm not really one to complain but you're killing me. The spirits that live in my head are telling me That I need a day off. Everyday is blending into one. Everyday is just like the last one. You've been hanging me from the rafters above. You've been stringing me along like you hate my guts. You left me for dead like some crippled mutt. You chewed up my heart and spit it back up. I just need a day off. Cause every day is blending into one. Yeah, everyday is just like the last one. Why you punish me I just don't know. You love to torture me and watch me die slow. And you say it's love. Everyday is bleeding into one. Yeah every day is just like the last one.

All Gone Now 02:12
Some days we feel alright Find a new way to eat the lies Thought I was okay, 'til I crossed the line I thought I was okay, 'til I saw the signs I need a new way to get high I need a new way to feel alive But it's all gone now

Baby Steps 03:31
Follow the tracks we left in the snow. Follow the lights that line this old road. Take this trail we blazed long ago. It might be the only hope. It's a long way back up. It's a long way to the top. Just follow me. You were dying slowly in the gloom And the dogs were picking at your soul. From the gutter to a path of gold. Stay the course and take it real slow. It's a long way back up. It's a long way to the top. Just follow me.
