Shame

| MP3 Sample |

it¹s what you hold to keep your head down
don¹t speak aloud so filled with guilt
how could we watch, how could we watch them die
ignore their cry we¹ll suffer someday

there was no shame before I was born
didn¹t know what nakedness meant
before my eyes, reluctant goodbyes
of innocence born in hell
I remember all the while
please release me
you turn away, still you¹re in my head
wished you were more than dead

kids like them don¹t seem to matter much to us
kids like them don¹t seem to matter much to us

pick me something more beautiful
I¹ve felt a little dirty
find something not too delicate
don¹t search tomorrow, I¹m under yesterday

you¹ve felt the pain inside of you
in years that¹s wished away
you¹ve seen a better life, a better life before
I¹m not alive in here, take me out now
I remember all the while
please release me from your smile
you turn away, still you¹re in my head
wished you were more than dead

Fervently Soft

when I sleep, come lift your eyes upon me
when I sleep, cannot feel the harm of your words
one breath to speak I smile to sleep
not of your world shallow and weak are things
are things you never speak

he¹s the sky, I can fly
he¹s the wind, one that blows so soft

I look at you, don¹t know who I am
my hope is everything seen in your eyes
maybe he caught a glimpse of something he saw in me
feeling like I was never really there at all

I touch his lips, when he sleeps
don¹t know what goes through his head
and I¹ll never feel anything so real
does he touch the same....
covers me with what he....
when he does it like whenever we¹re alone
and I¹ll never feel anything so real
does he touch the same....
covers me with what he....
when he does it like...

Boy In A Car

| MP3 Sample |

summer dies
you let the skies take your warmth
do I dare
let the voices feed my head

let me out, let me out, scratch it out, scratch it out
let me out, let me out, scratching out, scratch it out
let me out, let me out , scratch it out, scratch it out
you just can¹t show me, you just can¹t show me

boy in a car
even that is not his own
winter for kyle
sees no angels in the snow

boy in a car
could I have done more for you
talked a while
but in the end I walked away

Sunny In Glenville

nobody said this was easy
to follow what you hold so dear
this is much more than your beauty
it¹s whatever you see when no one¹s around

stronger than it
you¹d think we¹d stop and look around
as time is fading, faded
you¹d think we¹d stop and look around
look around look around look around
you said you were my friend
my endearing friend

sorry there¹s no way to measure
those feelings he holds deep inside
funny it¹s just how we all feel
come again and again time and people change

people say it¹s always sunny in glenville
back here nothing ever changes
amy still works in the drugstore
she¹s constantly dreaming of being swept away

Drowning

| MP3 Sample |

maybe it¹s dark in her world
you can mend this part in your dreams
to see much more than you feel
this often is a place
drenched in sunlight, drenched in sunlight
I lift my arms to hold, I reach to feel you
drenched in sunlight, drenched in sunlight
I¹m lost in your embrace

I¹m drowning
slipped between reality
I¹m drowning
I¹ve lost what¹s been clear

in time I stood in softer background
waiting out the shadow season
searching for some life left in you
drenched in regret, drenched in regret
a reaction from you lost
drenched in regret, drenched in regret
a reaction from you lost

it¹s easy enough to accept this life
easier to be barred by doubt
can I be the one to reach their soul
knowing what it was like
drenched in you, drenched in you
I hear again everything sweet, never the wrong
drenched in you, drenched in you
I¹ve lost what you recall

Wishful Thinking

you should have been with me
so many stories on the wall
we would have been real close
with fear to punish us all these years
take me in let me know the weight of your world
take me in let me know the weight of your hands

love me
love me
know me
and let me know you

it¹s nothing I haven¹t noticed
the strength of your stare
your breath still warms my back
your breath still warms my back
I should have known I was born to love you
I should have known I was born to love you
