I Do
03:37

Build me up like a mountain
I'll stand up on the peak
I'll stare into the distance
And take the sky from the sea
Take me down to the valley
Until hills block the view
Make it deep, no escaping
Till the only thing I see is you
Well I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do
Tell me your impression
I'll take it as I need
I'll lead myself in circles
Till I don't know how to stand on my feet
Well now I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do
I'm not asleep but I know how to dream
I'm not asleep but I know how to dream
I'm not asleep but I know how to dream
I'm not asleep but I know
I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do

Oz
03:15
|
|||
|
We walked right through the gates to see a wonderful man
Hoping he could replace all the pieces that we lack
You'll ask for a brain and I'll ask for a heart
The only bricks that remain are broken and charred
Skipping over the words that would prove us wrong
Just to say that we belonged
We sweat right through the sun and got there in the fall
Just to find out that the man was never there at all
You'll ask for his brain and I'll ask for his heart
And we'll split what remains of his remaining parts
I was just waiting to be proved wrong
All my reasons, they were gone
I was just waiting to be proved wrong
All my reasons, they were gone
The tiger and the bear
Left the lion cause he was scared
And they ended up in a snare set by Oz
And the village flocked to the scene
Saw the red all over the green
And they said that the fiend was at fault
It was like a house had fallen from the sky
But I couldn't stop the lie
It was like a house had fallen from the sky
But I couldn't stop the lie

Soldier
03:29
|
|||
|
Slow it down, turn around, don't go
I would frown, then you'd smile, then I'd glow
Kind of thing always happens to me
I could count to a thousand and you'd
Still be around on the ground like glue
Don't know how you keep me on my feet
When the curtains close on the puppet show
And there's nothing left but me
Would you guard my heart, my soul
And march my soldier, into the fray
Would you sing aloud that I
Finally found you this time, and by mistake
Would you stay?
Would you stay?
The other day I was late and running
But your face had me laughing at nothing
And suddenly everything is great
Just do what you do, what you do don't tell me
I'm happy here, just keep me running
Back to you
Would you guard my heart, my soul
And march my soldier, into the fray
Would you sing aloud that I
Finally found you this time, and by mistake
Would you stay?
Would you stay?
And I feel like I might drown
Right on solid ground, solid ground
And I feel like I can now be fine
My heart, my soul
And march my soldier, into the fray
Would you sing aloud that I
Finally found you this time, and by mistake
Would you stay?
Would you stay?

Silence
03:13
|
|||
|
Silence is waiting for the phone
Silence won't leave me alone
Silence is knowing you're happy
You're happy without me
Silence is a stranger in a mask
Sitting in my heart with a flask
Silence is making a home
Silence won't leave me alone
Spaces don't wait to be filled up now
Walls are practically built up now
The emptiness breaks with a shout
Listen carefully, the silence can speak
Listen carefully, the silence can speak
Silence is knowing I'm not first
Silence is toning down the hurt
Silence redefines my defense
I'm back on your side in the end
Spaces don't wait to be filled up now
Walls are practically built up now
The emptiness breaks with a shout
Listen carefully, the silence can speak
Listen carefully, the silence can speak
Spaces don't wait to be filled up now
Walls are practically built up now
The emptiness breaks with a shout
Listen carefully, the silence can speak
Listen carefully, the silence can speak
Listen carefully, the silence can speak
Listen carefully, the silence can speak

Heartstrings
02:42
|
|||
|
I can't be ashamed
Of my jaded brain
It keeps me grounded
And puts the eye in the hurricane
I sit on the floor
And open up my doors
I build my buildings
And go as high as I can afford
But you sing the perfect harmony to my own melody
And you play my heartstrings every day
Don't make it go away
I talk the talk
I can't even stop
I'm real and I realize
Every single thing I know I'm not
But you sing the perfect harmony to my own melody
And you play my heartstrings every day
Don't make it go away
You sing the perfect harmony to my own melody
And you play my heartstrings every day
Don't make it go away

The Wolves
03:42
|
|||
|
Walking through the wood
Keep your quiet
Sing under your breath
The wolves are watching
All the sunny meadows
Frost at sunset
If you're out still yourself
The wolves are watching
Ah, don't look back
Ah, save yourself
See there in the distance
A kindred wanderer
Give away your warmth
The found won't wait
Steal all you can take
No sun will shine today
A wall of ice will stay
A frozen heart can't break
Ah, don't look back
Ah, save yourself

Let Me In
03:17
|
|||
|
I don't wanna ask you
I'm scared what you'll say
If knowledge is virtue
Then so is pain
I'm stuck on the surface
I'm storming your gates
The ice is cracking
With every mistake
And I can't save you if you don't wanna be saved
And I can't break through if you have nothing to break
You gotta let it in, I gotta do what I can, just let me in
But I can't make you if you have nothing to say today
It's hard not to notice
When it's every day
I'm giving you spaces
Could you fill in the blanks?
Cause I'm not forever
And I'm not a waste
So if you don't need me
Then don't ask me to stay
And I can't save you if you don't wanna be saved
And I can't break through if you have nothing to break
You gotta let it in, I gotta do what I can, just let me in
But I can't make you if you have nothing to say today
And I can't wait for the pain to fade
You gotta let it in, I gotta do what I can, just let me in
But I can't make you if you have nothing to say today
You gotta let it in, I gotta do what I can, just let me in
But I can't make you if you have nothing to say today

Again & Again
04:00
|
|||
|
If you built a house on the sun
The earth too dim, too much of a spin around
Oh, I would live, I would live on the clouds
If your hands needed something to build
I would unstack the bones of my back, my knees and my heels
I'd come undone, I'd come undone for you to fill
I'd come undone, I'd come undone for you to fill
Sparks will fly as the flame starts to rise
I see your eyes as the only way to find you
In my mind for a thousand times
Over and over, again and again
Over and over, again and again
If we're both in the very same room
My blood and my breath, my head and my neck are pointed to you
I can't forget, no I can't forget, whatever I do
I can't forget, no I can't forget the things that you do
Sparks will fly as the flames start to rise
I see your eyes as the only way to find you
In my mind for a thousand times
Over and over, again and again
Over and over, again and again
Amplified by the chord, the beat and rhyme
Passing by till my song decides to find you
If I try just to look in your eyes I'll burn
Over and over, again and again
Over and over, again and again
Over and over, again and again
Over and over, again and again

Hurricane
04:02
|
|||
|
The wind's stopped blowing but it's torn apart
Debris and shadows cover the stars
But the only casualty is her heart
The only sign that it was raining before
Are the teardrops scattered on the floor
There's no sun yet, but it's not thundering anymore
She's walking away
She's in the eye, no more disguises
And she's more than rain
She's not the puddle that she used to be
She's a hurricane, she's a hurricane
She cuts her feet walking on broken glass
The windows have shattered from the blast
She walks, seeing pieces drop on the grass
But she's walking away
She's in the eye, no more disguises
And she's more than rain
She's not the puddle that she used to be
She's a hurricane, she's a hurricane
Before there were tears, now she's finding her voice
When the lightening's the brightest it makes the most noise
Wipe the fear from your eyes, you don't have a choice
So I'm walking away
Open my eyes, no more surprises
And I'm more than rain
I'm not the puddle that I used to be
I'm a hurricane, I'm a hurricane
I'm a hurricane
I'm a hurricane

Supernova
03:21
|
|||
|
Light-years of space all around
Not a sound
Not allowed to breathe
That's how you found me
Flashes of light once in awhile
Not gravity bound
Floating in between
Somehow was seen
Starting over again
Blinded by the light I shed
After the end I'm starting over again
The supernova came and went
I'm starting to feel the heat
Slowly
Starts to warm the freeze
Suddenly free
Starting over again
Blinded by the light I shed
After the end I'm starting over again
The supernova came and went
You could've been everything
I need
But I've got a fire to feed
You'll see
