What is a song What is love What does a song hold? Was it love Restlessness in the light of the morning what is real are my words still as empty as they were transformations physical transformer from the perils of my mind is aging from the second I fall down it may be too late for trying to find some better way to say it until you need me, I will rehearse
2.
Substance 03:36
Substance out of reach and taken with it Silence we had hoped to put it out first and yet it's all that we are left with words we never said did we really need them someone give them to me now words that I can say but you never hear them someone's standing by the door the common man wouldn't give up his throne the common man wouldn't give up his throne changing the guard though you don't even notice it's mine to discard too ashamed to deserve it you will forget and I will remember everything changes you don't know I exist words we never said did we really need them someone give them to me now words that I can say but you never hear them someone's standing by the door the common man wouldn't give up his throne the common man wouldn't give up his throne and you will forget and I will remember and you will forget and I will remember

So you had to find your way So you had to fly away I have your will the task is waiting I have your will the task is waiting Confidence Sun, the gentle wind behave Sun, you had to come and take a friend away my mind is empty the body's still my mind is empty Confidence Don't slow down Don't slow down Who has it all has nothing Who has it all has nothing

Stranger 04:00
Secrets I'd been keeping made it out to see words that come with offers who did you believe can I have a place near silence on the perch take away my stirring return to me with words Tomorrow is just another week Our urge is to wait and not to speak I plan to see this through until you grieve As a stranger, do you see me? in your anger, will you need me? are we still there, will you hold back? will you compare me to your past? I was just a watcher still to catch my breath innocent bystander complacent and useless quick in pointing out your mistakes at a glance to circumvent the center of what comes not knowing when or if you would show up I plan to see this through until it's done As a stranger, do you see me? in your anger, will you need me? are we still there, will you hold back? will you compare me to your past?

Relief 03:39
Son, when you said that you'd be on my side but you left so I fear when I call will you pick up hide if at all Intel wouldn't give substance out of reach tend to damages to keep up and some days nothing gives cold page, openness covered innocence to keep up Son, did you win? is that the only time that you're lucid? what I fear is inside the danger's not out there I reply heartache, windowsill landscape overkill intake overfilled from way up and some days maybe wrong stake claims that were on landfills never gone so keep out sentimentalist sentimentalist so I sit with my wife thinking of nothing much when we fight and I squeeze till we dry I hope that this relief doesn't die
6.
Holidays 01:27
Is this a sign or symbol unless you are coveting the benefits are beginning to set in your home where you cannot be tested on what you know changes as soon as you're resting on Holidays, you can't recover Holidays, you can't recover
7.
Family 03:26
Family, family first sworn to be brought up then burst quiet car rides, acknowledgement of who is in there, who is inside born between desert and storm and where they meet never gets warm quiet car rides memories of consenting adults waiting on us caught between desert and storm prefer the peace but living in….. success, success is failure failure's assured success, success is failure failure's assured
8.
The Current 03:57
Punctuated steps while plagued with rhyme habits die while wasting time the precious undercurrent throughout all that's tough the cracking of the crust that surrounds my will surrounds my trust struggle with love is artifact a paisley of the second act I hope this love will free myself I hope this love will free myself Thought I'd wait for the silence but it never came forcing my thoughts through a sieve and while the noise continuous a ropeful of a focus to floss us out who looks stupid waldo, monet, more names to come struggle with love is artifact a paisley of the second act I know this love will free myself I know this love will free myself If this love comes unto me, I'm with it If this love comes unto me, I'm with it
9.
Destroyer 03:28
I know this is between you and me my hope exists, how I want it to be You know you are dark and twisted, cold and gifted as you are, I'm not the one to say it betrayal's deep, known by it's face eyes are aiming back at me I'm not the one you wanted did you have time to grieve? cause I can be tame for you if there are strings to pull you are the destroyer look what you made for her I know this is between you and me my hope exists, how I want it to be Look what I've made so creative, brave and naked not at all, that's not what I had wanted and tears they come like a geyser powered pressure building up I'm not the one stop it did you have time to grieve? cause I can be tame for you if there are strings to pull you are the destroyer look what you made for her
10.
Death 03:19
The sky is just about set your silence seems to have crept I know the hour is intense Death, what could be worse if I had something to complain about if I took your place, would it hurt? something to complain about I never thought that I'd let I mostly want what I get it comes at night when it wants you're better off than I bet Death, what could be worse if I had something to complain about if I took your place, would it hurt? something to complain about prefer the noise to the song the words they always seemed wrong we're better off with you here Death, what could be worse if I had something to complain about if I took your place, would it hurt? something to complain about

The Ocean 04:34
It's only the ocean It's only the ocean love, It's only the ocean love, no need to run it's only the ocean subject to others subject to no one there's no need to run at all there's no need to run at all why won't you be where I want you to be?
