Don't Settle

don't settle for this
don't let 'em break your back
don't settle for this
don't let 'em suck you in
don't settle for this
don't let 'em fill your head
don't settle for this
don't let 'em lock you in
oooo
lay to rest
broken paths
take a step
out of it
don't settle for this
don't let 'em spread you thin
don't settle for this
don't let 'em cave you in
don’t settle for this
don’t let ‘em pull your threads
don’t settle for this
don’t let ‘em take all that’s left
as the time starts closing in
and your mind stops wandering
the final lines start surfacing
as your eyes are opening
lay to rest
broken paths
claim what’s left
start again

Say Goodnight
04:16

well we were safe
from all of the darkness
sane after all that we had started
tame and still could not be broken
faith was never lost or ever stolen
we’d shoot into the stars and wouldn’t lose it
and we would take
our time as we would wander
stray as far out as we wanted to
ooo
we’d lose sight
forget time
we’d lose sight
forget the time
fade in and out
fade in and out of focus
say goodnight
say goodnight to all your problems

Matter of Time
02:59

is this the way the world is gonna be like now?
I don't know how we're ever gonna make it out
feels like we're running around in a satire fire
designed by a ticking time bomb that's ready to blow
gotta figure it out
(‘nough had enough had enough)
with my back on the wall
(up add it up add it up)
gotta figure it out
with my hands on my mouth
gotta figure it out
when my mind's at a loss
gotta figure it out
hey
whatcha thinking now?
Mr. Dignified
I can't identify
(you were running it out)
this is not the time
not the time to fuck around
you've gotta face it
don't be afraid to take it
you've gotta make it with your heart and mind
you can change your mind
in a matter of time
you say we don't need to ever worry
cuz you've got everything figured out
well that's what scares me
I just can't see
how this can be real
(you can take a doubt
turn it inside out
let it drain all night
hanging upside down
when it all dries out
how do you feel now
can you let it slide
or need another round?)
this is not the time
not the time to fuck around
I can't identify
with that state of mind
I can't identify
whoa no
I can't identify
with your state of mind
Mr dignified
Whoa nooo
(no not done
no I’m not done)
(spill it all out now)

Go Easy on the Fellow

we can say a lot sometimes
we can say too much
we can talk a lot sometimes
when we should just shut up
we can feel a lot sometimes
we can feel too much
we can push a lot sometimes
when we should just let up
yeah yeah yeah
you won’t be alone

Red Flags
04:19
|
|||
|
red flags were everywhere
but I tried not to see
tried not to see
and the stars kept telling me
hey, you’re alone
you’re a shadow
but i tried not to see
not to feel
i was a silent scream
waiting for the sun
a certain point came along
where it all started to scatter
it didn’t matter anymore
and all the war paint thinned out
and i started to see
and to feel
you’d been fooling me
i caught a glimpse of the sun
red flags
run from the scene
red flags
blows my mind that you still can’t see it

Just One More...
02:34
|
|||
|
I don't really need it
but I love the feeling
and it makes me wanna
fly
I don't have a reason
or an explanation
why
it's time to
it's time to
it's time to
face you
it's time to
it's time to
it's time to
take you
it's time to
it's time to
it's time to
break you
it's time to
erase you
it's time to
escape you
but you free my mind
and take me much higher
give me a desire
and fix the crossed wires
would you free my mind
just one, one more time
please please free my mind
just one one more time
I don’t really mean it
I could take or leave it
but it puts me in a
bind
I don’t have a reason
or an explanation
why
you free my mind
and take me much higher
give me a desire
and fix the crossed wires
please free my mind
just one one more time
please please free my mind
just one one more time

It's a Problem
02:09

always liked to call your shots from on the sidelines
never suitin’ up for the field just stuck your nose in mine
something came in fast while running through the center line
it was aimed to take me out but i saw it in the nick of time
ha
keeping to yourself cuz you thought i wouldn’t recognize
you were driving the bus headed straight for my state of mind
but i listened for the sounds and i heard ‘em in the nick of time
they said take a step back and you will see it’s just another lie
it’s a problem
it’s a problem
bum bum bum bum
never left the start
never left the start
never left the start

Can't Look Back
02:52

you can’t look back
when your head is stuck
you can’t fall back
on what you couldn’t solve
we don’t buy your complaints
when they’re not met with change
like a fool spreading blame
all around
hang on
hang on
hang on
hang on
you can’t take back
a past result
you can’t protect
from every fall
we deny all the claims
that were stored on our frames
by a fool spreading blame
all around
hang on
hang on
hang on
hang on
shoulda known
shoulda known
you can’t look back
when your head is stuck
you can’t fall back
on what you couldn’t solve
you can’t take back
a past result
have to reject
that it’s all your fault
you can’t look back
