If you want to read The meaning in your mind Feel the sights and sounds The only of their kind You can take the key It won't be hard to find I promise it won't be hard to find You've been twisting and turning Reading and searching But the black of your eyes Crack of your smile Don't tell a thing And I know all those memories Burn holes in the back of your mind But sometime soon you'll have to give in Have to give in to demand If you want to read The meaning in your mind Feel the sights and sounds The only of their kind You can take the key It won't be hard to hide from you If we unlocked your mind The secrets inside would empty the room But if you want to be free To hide from the beast then listen and learn There's no use trying to hide time moves fast there's no wonder why So just take the key it won't be hard to find I promise it won't be hard to find If you want to read The meaning in your mind Feel the sights and sounds The only of their kind You can take the key It won't be hard to hide from you

Pairs 03:58
These days take hold of me I used to sleep, I used to hide I'll change a thing for you I hope to see you soon Carry this heart of mine Don't let it slip, Don't let it fall I'll give this gift to you I hope to see you soon I've seen the seasons pass Let it rain, let it snow I yearned for your return To save me from concern When I call out to you Through the wind, through the night You'll know I can't return To safety of concern Carry me down carry me down Carry me down carry me down I torched my soul to give you my all That was my mistake I'll ink this script of truth Can't hide the things I have to say I'll bide my time again I know the world won't end Feels like a thousand years Since a lie wasn't bold I'll scowl and shout again I know the world won't end I know the world won't end I hope the world won't end Carry me down carry me down Carry me down carry me down I torched my soul to give you my all That was my mistake That was my mistake

Cover up your beating sleeve Before you loose the one you love Before you loose yourself Staying up all night to watch the storm roll in Frozen by feelings I shouldn't relive She says can you feel the pulse Can you feel the pulse inside of me Can you feel the pulse This definitive pulse it's meant to We can hide 'till the next sunrise If it hurts it's no surprise Just your touch is all I need To know that you'll remember me Staying up all night to watch the storm roll in What will she do next She puts my hand on her chest and says Can you feel the pulse Can you feel the pulse inside of me Can you feel the pulse This definitive pulse it's meant to be

What It Is 04:05
If the truth be told I'm way too young But ignorance never stopped no one Life is spent in an empty room Full of junk that you can't consume A modest grin, a simple thing A kitchen sink or a late night fling It's happened before it'll happen again And again and again and again I wanna find out what it is on the other side of town I wanna grab what I can from the fountain of the frown And I'll go down to the place where they beckon you for more And I'll find out what it is that's been banging on the door I've been here for way too long A crumpled suit and a mobile phone Mementos of a life I left a long long time ago But you wouldn't even know I wanna find out what it is on the other side of town I wanna grab what I can from the fountain of the frown And I'll go down to the place where they beckon you for more And I'll find out what it is that's been banging on the door And there's no fear And there's no fear I wanna find out what it is I wanna find out what it is I wanna find out what it is on the other side of town I wanna grab what I can from the fountain of the frown And I'll go down to the place where they beckon you for more And I'll find out what it is that's been banging on the door

Fall Apart 04:41
Why do you always feign emotion You think that I can't tell it's over Your walls are up again and I'm climbing And maybe you think that I can't sense we're falling So you just go and leave me in this moment You just go What's in your mind what's in your heart I never met you I never thought we'd fall apart You leave me out in the cold again And I wish I could say that it's never happened to me before Now and then I wish that we could just pretend It's okay But I know that it isn't so why let this go on So you just go and leave me in this moment You just go What's in your mind what's in your heart I never met you I never thought we'd fall apart

Free Spirits 05:58
Morning light through my window But it's too early to get up When I close my eyes I see you Eternal sleep deserves review I just want you right here with me So you can see what I can see I looked to the eye of your heart And you just stared right back at me You just stared right back at me It's the way it's always been We're just free spirits trapped together in eternal love I'll keep trying not to miss you But it's been so long since you've been gone It's not easy when you're not here But I'll keep moving on and on We're just free We're just free spirits trapped together in eternal love We're just free

You're giving up your wealth You're giving up your wealth to me You're giving up yourself You're giving up yourself to me You spend all your time to give me what's mine And you're that created me And when I am gone you'll still help me on The place that I want to be You're giving up yourself to me It's been so long and I can't forget All that time that we haven't spent You give to me what I always want And that is something I can't forget Your're giving up yourself

Time Flies 03:43
Sleep? It's not over yet Carry on through the night that's left Streets. Pavement is wet Light that is there favours no one But you Now I know there's nothing missing 'Cause I know there's nothing there But things can change pretty quickly When the night comes to its end Time flies by when I'm with you But no one seems to care The rain pours down on a drunken street But no one's getting wet Time flies by when I'm with you It'll leave me once again I know nothing that'll save us now But it's not over yet Sleep? It's not over yet Carry on through the night that's left Streets. Pavement is wet Light that is there favours no one But you Time flies by when I'm with you But no one seems to care The rain pours down on a drunken street But no one's getting wet Time flies by when I'm with you It'll leave me once again I know nothing that'll save us now But it's not over yet

Seems like yesterday has come too soon For a moment there I thought I knew The difference Stumblin' down the street is nothing new Given up on caring 'Cause I'm biding my time 'till I can break free Abusing the options earning my keep Talking to strangers keeps things interesting 'Cause Ignorance is bliss 'Cause Ignorance is bliss They won't do much for this 'Cause Ignorance is bliss
