- Angels And Angles
On with the heart of the matter.
The conversation blushed,
with a swift redirection:
But how are you?
What have you done?
I've found,
what abounds at my own leisure,
- Empty Street
The city feels clean this time of night
Just empty streets and me walking home
To clear my head
I know it came as no surprise
I'm affected more than I had guessed
By what was said
(Chorus)
- Empty Streets
The city feels clean this time of night just empty streets
And me walking home to clear my head
I know it came as no surprise
I'm affected more than I had guessed on what was said
If the smile's not meant to be, if the heart's not ready to open
If we make it I won't see it's broken
If the smile's not meant to be, if the heart's not ready to open
If we make it I won't see how it's broken
- Epilogue
If I believed, if I believed what I'd been told, every day:
to say no grace, every night, I couldn't stay here alone.
If I leave this place, everything fades.
What will my ghost embrace?
Will my soul still fill a space?
I walk the halls, endless stairs, here's where the floor starts to fade.
- Every Breath Is Like A Heartbeat
Every Breath Is Like A Heartbeat
Late Night Alumni
You keep a steady locomotion.
I know, go on and stand your ground.
If you choose to believe in nothing,
what is it moves you around?
- Finally Found
I hear the room fill with laughter
And then forget everything after.
You stand there memorizing. I'm here, barely breathing.
There's something I should have said but I laughed along instead.
You know what you want but you get what you said that you know you've always said that you wanted instead.
I know what I want and suddenly it's the sound of you off to the side saying, I'm finally found.
- For Life
Wild nights, were I with thee,
wild nights should be our luxury.
Futile the winds to a heart in port.
Done with the compass.
Done with the chart.
I sang to use the waiting,
I didn't have to try.
I'll shut the door to my house;
- Golden
Wait for me.
You were right.
You're absence, it burns too bright.
And so it goes
Since I'm alone now
I'd like to think that we can work this out.
Take some time and think it through.
- Hope
Can there be another way
I look around to find another day
Hope now it's hard to see
Into eternity
Hold on, knowing the rain is here
But we gotta believe it won't last
Keep on hoping
- I Knew You When
Hello
Tell me how have you been?
I didn't think
I'd see your face again
And it shows
All the years that have passed
Memories fade,
Emotion seems to last.
- Joan of Arc
I feel numb some, in a costume on a cloudy night. Does it seem like everyone is looking for a fight? I feel like Joan of Arc, more light than in the dark. I said, “Even if we fall, don’t regret it all. We will go down undivided!” All is gone. Lost, withdrawn. All lips armed. You’ve been warned. Shock and awe! Lips disarmed. You’ve been harmed. Love is scorned. Bait and bleed it. Don’t retreat if I turn and attack. Another sundown to a pitch black. Give me my heart back. I feel like Joan of Arc, more light than in the dark. I said, “Even if we fall, don’t regret it all, we will go down undivided!” All is gone. Lost, withdrawn. All lips armed. You’ve been warned. Shock and awe! Lips disarmed. You’ve been harmed. Love is scorned.
- Lament
Your mind lingers on,
though your heart and soul are gone.
You can't call it alive.
All the times that we've died.
The bumps on your skin is my darkness rushing in.
I'd whisper "amen" just to feel alive again.
I believed that we'd never die.
- Light Reading
Some light reading, the last pages, clearer now in certain places.
But you're hovering, half empty, and I'm leaving, but you've left me.
Please just listen to reason, these aren't chapters, they're seasons.
I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend, you've closed the book on your end.
If you pick up, pull out, does it have to be now?
- Moonwalking
Cold feet
But not like the cold that I used to know
The back beat
Sounds as if I'm hearing it over the phone
One day the moon just changed
I didn't know
Until I watched the stars alone
- No or Yes
The moment I sigh and decide
Sure, I'll grow used to these lonely nights
The wind, it blows and I change my mind
Feel a familiar shiver down my spine
Now it's noon; the clock tower chimes
How long have I been wasting all my time
A typical damsel in distress
- Potions
I said I hope, like a prayer.
And sent out my tears in a bottle of notes.
Find and drink up; it's uncommon and sweet.
Are you surprised? Is it making you mine?
You morph into the last living thing alive.
I've no periphery, you're all that's in front of me.
- Rainy days
The day is cold.
The day is cold and dark and dreary.
And it rains.
And the wind is never weary.
Ivy still clings to the wall.
At every gust the dead leaves fall.
- Spin
Who are you fooling? It's not Russian Roulette. I'm not gonna sit this one out. It's suicide you decide, be it left be it right maybe wrong? While you let it out of your sight first it's left then it's right till it's gone. If you're a point on a line, the rolling figure is mine. And I'm still gonna roll round and round. How about a small wager? I know you need another player. I want you to know how it feels. I'm all for spinning that wheel. But who are you fooling? it's not Russian Roulette. Save the last one for me. It's suicide you decide, be it left be it right maybe wrong? While you let it outta your sight first it's left then it's right till it's gone. The clock may never unwind, the day and night combined. I'm not gonna fall asleep this time. I've been brave. Tell me again to behave. You alter the laws of chance with a touch of your hand. How about a small wager? I know you need another player. I want you to know how it feels. I'm all for spinning that wheel. But who are you fooling? It's not Russian Roulette. I'm not gonna sit this one out.
- The Rest of You
You say love has given up
Yet here's my heart, still filling up
Hoping that you will follow
Poetry inside my head
Thoughts sublime that must be said
Here am I, explaining why I care.
Still feel the warmth of you
- This Is Why
Ever since I remember
I’ve held it in
Held it all
Somehow I felt comfortable
Behind my wall
Behind it all
- uncharted
t's half-hearted and complication the way
They imparted, now isn't the best of all our days.
But we've started and now it's too late to say,
This uncharted place is too precarious to stay.
I'm unknown so, so I keep my head low.
It's beneath me, with all my ducks in a row.
If they ask me, I'll them I didn't know.
If they ask, say eventually we'll reap what they have sown.
- Vixen
There is a little part of me that wants the best for you.
Can't help but wish the best was me.
Coquette I bet you'd say I am, a vixen ripe for play.
You sound so sincere when you say,
I'm an open book, despite my puzzled look,
and coax me to confess to all I never meant.
This is the absolute last time you'll fall in love with me.
I nod my head like I agree.
- What If I Say Please
What a sensational display.
So sentimentally arrayed.
Such a theatrical gesture.
These specialized effects, they fester.
So don't appeal me parading like a pantomime I mean.
It's unfeeling and I'm unwilling; let me be.
- What's In a Name
What's in a name, what's in my sleepy eyes half the time?
If you would have asked how I was, I'd have said I'm just fine.
I know it's best if I move on; let you swim in the wake of this song.
If I could've seen to this end, I'd do it all over again.
You're like the sweetest, softest autumn I've ever seen.
I'm all nostalgic and genuinely weak in the knees.
I know it's best if I move on; let you swim in the wake of this song.
- You Can Be The One
Nobody wants to be alone
The heart beats happy when it has a place
And if it doesn’t have a home
It can come into my space
So you can be the one I love
I can be the one you long for
You can be the one I want
