Empty Kitchen Stage 03:29
lyrics
buy track
In the morning you came to me What'd you say? I'm not listening There are worst things in this world to be We are desperate and abused. Dancing's what I do for free And without you it's still happening I'm not afraid to dance alone On the empty kitchen stage. What was it that you were waiting for? Well if you're bored, there's the door. I'm not afraid to dance alone We fall into the unknown.

Ballad #4 03:17
lyrics
buy track
I hope you're something special I hope you're something kind I don't know where we're headed Somewhere undefined And I don't know what love is But it stays on my mind With all this indecision It's fine, we'll lay here all night I hope your something special I hope your something kind. Cause I know I could use you If you could use me too But you make apprehensive gestures Oh the non-verbal cues See, we could move our bodies closer This all revolves around you And so I hope you're something special I hope you're something kind. I hope you're something special I hope you're something kind. We'll lay here all night Be my satellite

Dream Girl 04:39
lyrics
buy track
I don't know what to say to you My words hurt because they're true I'm reading into everything you say But it didn't have to end that way I'm a bad excuse for all of your mistakes. My heartstrings are aching to be pulled I've got a new girl, and she's cool The only thing is that she's in my head A pure fantasy, some restless shit If my dream girl would only just exist. Behind the lime leaves where we stood our ground It was a strange kiss it did not make a sound No one knew we were there The sun shined through your hair The lines in dirt might've been drawn in the air And so we're dreaming in this story Forever chasing a fantasy And life is boring, so disappointing Not like I was told it'd be Well I want to be alone with someone else I want to be alone with someone else I want to be alone with someone else I want to be alone with someone else I want to be alone, just not by myself All by myself.

Icarus 02:24
lyrics
buy track
There's a creature living inside me Some damn animal tells me what to think I'm not a criminal, but I don't know what else to be Don't want the future cause you know it's looking bleak One more, and then we're through Sorrow sings an age old tune They say I'm going mad So don't argue While I'm packing up my bags Just tell me what to do Should I just give up? Or should I test my luck? Tell me, what's your point of view? Icarus in the sky, and he's going to die Well tell me how about you? Would you hold on? Hold on.

Falling Softly 02:51
lyrics

Girl you look so good, dancing on your own But won't you come with me? I will be your anything. I want you by my side, dancing in the street Tell me not to speak, well I will be Be your anything. You're driving me crazy Run your fingers through my hair Taking off our clothes I think you know where this story goes I think you know I think you know I think you know Where this story goes. Can't you see? Can't you see? Can't you see? I'm falling softly Can't you see? Can't you see? Can't you see? I'm falling for you.

Stumble in the Rain 02:36
lyrics
buy track
Though I drag my feet, my heart stays strong Yeah, I walk along. I stumble in the rain Though my eyes look down, my hopes stay high Yeah I still believe somewhere I belong. I wrote the words to this song On the back of a note you wrote When you walked away Though my thoughts are long, I love this street My head, it's in the clouds. I stumble in the rain Though it's getting cold, I found a home If it's distant and make believe, it's where I belong I wrote the words to this song On the back of a note you wrote When you walked away

We Could Be...(Anxious Lives) 04:41
lyrics
buy track
I've been wandering the streets at night I've been wondering what I'm doing with my life I'm not impressed with your subtleties I got high. (Anxiety) If I could get a place to rest my wretched head Oh I'd pay your asking price I'm so detached from reality A blank page is staring back at me And it goes on, into infinity Well we could be so much better than we are We could be so much better than we are And tonight, when I turn out my lights Crawl into bed, let the wonders fill my head I choose to dream that we could be anything at all We could be anything at all We could be We could be....

Everything Sings 04:02
lyrics
buy track
I woke up with my cheek against the floor I can't lay here anymore, though it's clean And it's clear in front of me, that this is no place I want to be In this sterile pristine air, I can't breath I don't know what went wrong If we must we will carry on We'll tuck our pain and hid it deep If you listen close, you'll hear everything sings Driving on the interstate, trying hard to get away From a life you faked and now it's catching up And the castle that you built is slowly sinking in the sea And I just can't afford to be naive I don't know what went wrong If we must we will carry on We'll bow our heads, pretend to pray If you listen close, you'll hear everything sings

Sad Songs are for the Taking 04:56
lyrics
buy track
I cannot seem to find it Where is my happiness? Packed up in boxes when you left Now I'm so lost without you Here in the wilderness Chasing the memory of your kiss I tried my best to love you But I don't have any left I'm sitting here in loneliness While you've had other lovers Such shallow love affairs Like they could replace what we shared How could you be so careless With my still beating heart? Goddamn this awkward tension Goddammit from the start This is no great awakening There is no more romance We killed it dead with out last dance Now I've been getting better Something new everyday I can be happy but for now Sad songs are for the taking Listening cause here's one now It's all I've got after these years.
