- Track Name: Ghost Inside
-
I won't survive this way
Your shadows darken my day
I see you when I turn away
You're hauting me in every way
Stand up face the ghost inside
Reach out there's nothing more to hide
Take aim at what you can't divide
Haunting you through and through
Tossing turning losing sleep
Will you ever let me be?
Can you let go of your destiny
Break the chains and set it free?
Stand up face the ghost inside
Reach out there's nothing more to hide
Take aim at what you can't divide
Haunting you through and through
Can you breathe
Can you believe
Make it through the night
Stand up face the ghost inside
Reach out there's nothing more to hide
Take aim at what you can't divide
Haunting you through and through
Haunting you haunting you - Track Name: American Baby
-
Green grass blue sky
Got a white dress apple pie
And Clorox for American stains
Picket fence around domestic
Banner to the world
American babe
Life is worth a lot your
Parent’s trust fund from the cot
American babe
Retired at age four easy
Future spending daddy’s loans
American babe
But don’t look outside the bubble
And see your friends in trouble
Oh American baby
Oh American baby
Confident and boneless
Why not throw these heavy stones
When you can always run home
Future speeding past full tank of gas
A dream for certainty
American babe
But don’t look outside the bubble
America’s in trouble
Oh American baby
Oh American baby
Stocks and bonds are sold
Pockets filled with gold
Disasters come and god
The rivers overflow
Oil wars and fear
Last another year
Once a child now look at how you've grown
Oh American baby
Oh American baby - Track Name: Choices
-
So many cities so alive in the distance shining
So many roads beneath your feet stretched out and winding
So many people voices in the distance tell you where to turn
So many places unknown spaces all these lessons to learn
You will make these choices all alone
To find a life that you can call your own
So many songs to sing so many strangers that will pass you by
So many words inside your head will they ever come out right
So many expectations situations can you make it shine
So many memories your friends and enemies they live inside
You will make these choices all alone
To find a life that you can call your own
The path that you take
Can you live with your mistake
Can you rise from the ground
And see the world all around
And fly to the moon
And make your move
You will make these choices all alone
To find a life that you can call your own
You will make these choices
You will make these choices
You're high you're low do you know where to go
You're high you're low do you know where to go - Track Name: Swim
-
River is high
Breeze warm and dry
Perched on a limb
Jump in and swim
On your own
I'm glad to see you're on your own
And don't you know it suits you well
Cause loneliness is hard as hell
Scuba dive
I wanna learn to scuba dive
The ocean is so wild and free
It's something that I long to be
River is high
Breeze warm and dry
Perched on a limb
Jump in and swim
Crooked path
The world is such a crooked path
With stones and thorny memories
It's desperate when you're on your knees
But you can leave the land behind
Yeah you can leave the land behind
You're happy just to swim astray
And find your island far away
River is high
Breeze warm and dry
Perched on a limb
Jump in and swim
You can leave the land behind
Yeah you can leave the land behind
You're happy just to swim astray
And find your island far away
River is high
Breeze warm and dry
Perched on a limb
Jump in and swim - Track Name: Garden Of One
-
Under the table
Through the checkered cloth he hides away
Stepdaddy's drinking
Mixing up martinis and croquet
Under the table
Imaginary seeds don't need sun
Covered in mudpies
Growing your creations you're the only one
And all we'd see
Are shoes and denim knees
Will this flower grow in a garden of one?
Looking out the window
Thinking of the love you lost
The garden that you left behind
Overgrown and covered in the frost
And off you go
To the great the great unknown
Will this flower grow in a garden of one?
In a garden of one?
You and me we're on our own
With nowhere left to go
But we've still got wild seeds to sow
We've still got time to grow
In a garden of one
In a garden of one
In a garden of one - Track Name: Giants
-
Their fingers shape the world like a slippery piece of clay
Their clocks are moons they make dark shadows in the day
They move their shoes and the eart she shudders in reply
Their weapons burn through bones cloudy fire in the sky
When the giants walk they rip and tear the ground
Oceans ripple waves are rising all around
One footstep leaving something profound
You can't stop it when the giants walk
They control the world from a castle in the sky
We always follow their lead do we even know why
When the giants walk they rip and tear the ground
Oceans ripple waves are rising all around
One footstep leaving something profound
You can't stop it when the giants walk
You can't stop it
You can't fight it
Can't hide from it
Can't deny it
When the giants walk they rip and tear the ground
Oceans ripple waves are rising all around
One footstep leaving something profound
You can't stop it
You can't fight it
Can't hide from it
When the giants walk - Track Name: Misguided Angel
-
At the red light a broken windshield
Blue highway golden field
You made it this far and can't turn back
To Spanish moss and railroad tracks
Little demons you left behind
Will they always haunt your mind
Misguided angel where you gonna go
Left your small town secrets buried in the snow
No one there to help you
No one seems to care
Can you make it on your own without a prayer?
Highschool sweetheart a beauty queen
Riding shotgun on a summer's eve
Love came quickly and candy sweet
Changed your life forever in the back seat
Misguided angel where you gonna go
Left your small town secrets buried in the snow
No one there to help you
No one seems to care
Can you make it on your own without a prayer?
Can you make it on your own
Can you make it on your own
Passage of time it's all in your mind
You've paid your dues you don't have to lose
It's time to go and take what you know
Step on the gas get out of here fast
Misguided angel
Where you gonna go
Left your small town secrets
Buried in the snow
No one there to help you
No one seems to care
Can you make it on your own without a prayer?
Can you make it on your own
Can you make it on your own
Can you make it on your own
Can you make it on your own - Track Name: Beautiful Boy
-
There you stand
All I want is just to hold your hand
But I can't breathe
Your beauty's suffocating me
But I can't lie
You're a beautiful boy
You're a beautiful boy
You're a beautiful boy
You're the loveliest thing that I've ever seen
You can't see
The battlefield of broken hearts and tears you leave
See no stain
Blood and innocense go hand in hand
But I can't lie
You're a beautiful boy
You're a beautiful boy
You're a beautiful boy
You're the loveliest thing that I've ever seen
I can't lie anymore
In spite of you I will pass through your door
Boy boy boy boy boy boy
You're the loveliest thing
You're a beautiful boy
You're a beautiful boy
You're a beautiful boy
You're the loveliest thing that I've ever seen
You're the loveliest thing that I've ever seen
You're the loveliest thing I could ever claim - Track Name: Easy Way In
-
Trial and error will take you there
On your journey to find the cure
Day after day you race against the time
Dig in your skin and bones with dissecting knives
Mixing up the chemicals
Getting deep inside your world
Looking for the formula to make it right
Searching for the medicine
To take you higher than you've ever been
There's no easy way in
No easy way in
There's no easy way in
Experiment with blood and oxygen
For just another rush of adrenaline
God knows that every time you get so close
Walking a thin white line to a lethal dose
Mixing up the chemicals
Getting deep inside your world
Looking for the formula to make it right
Searching for the medicine
To take you higher than you've ever been
There's no easy way in
No easy way in
There's no easy way in
Day after day you race against the time
Dig in your skin and bones with dissecting knives
Mixing up the chemicals
Getting deep inside your world
Looking for the formula to make it right
Searching for the medicine
To take you higher than you've ever been
There's no easy way in
No easy way in
There's no easy way in
No easy way in
There's no easy way in
There's no easy way in
There's no easy way in - Track Name: Drowning In You
-
You say you're sinking so fast and you're drowning in waters of me
Feeling me all out touching currents so deep
But I feel your distance you've barely wet your feet
Cause it's me that's slipping under and you can't even see
I'm drowning in you
What can I do
Cause I feel I'm going under
And I can't get free
Drowning in you
Deeper in blue
I can't fight against the tide
Closing in on me
Drowning in you
Swimming in the ocean and there's miles to the bottom beneath
With me and you there's so many miles between
Treading these waters and I feel like I'm losing steam
Cause I can't fight what you don't feel I can't make you see
I'm drowning in you
What can I do
Cause I feel I'm going under
And I can't get free
Drowning in you
Deeper in blue
I can't fight against the tide
Closing in on me
I can't fight this feeling anymore
When I know I can't have what I'm reaching for
I'm drowning in you
What can I do
Cause I feel I'm going under
And I can't get free
Drowning in you
Deeper in blue
I can't fight against the tide
Closing in on me
Drowning in you
