What I Got 03:03
What I Got You run around scheming up your plans Looking for something to bring meaning to you You want it you need it you see it you get it You wouldn’t have it any other way You came around looking for a man Looking for someone to bring meaning to you You’re coming and going no time for consoling You wouldn’t have it any other way What I got you call insignifi- Can’t you see your way You want it I’ve got it I gave it for free That’s more than you could say Your arms length it keeps getting longer Longer depending on who it is you find You’re pushing and shoving the people you’re loving You wouldn’t have it any other way I tried to break you down I tried to get inside To show you that in me you truly could confide Now you’re running running but I’m no longer coming You wouldn’t have it any other way You see you want you get but nothing satisfies Run faster run faster must keep up with your lies
2.
Some Kind of Way You've got some kind of way Of showing love to those that you love You've got some kind of way Of making fools of those who choose love Why do you use these shadows and valleys Surely to waste my time A reward given to those who follow dearly Your methods have changed my mind Some kind of way Of showing love to those that you love You've got some kind of way Of making fools of those who choose love Why couldn't my heart have been enough I thought I gave all that you require Look all around we're dying, dying My faith wasn't good enough You had my face in the ground See my hands that were bound Always losing With my feet on the ground No more visions or sounds I am through
3.
We Got Fight 03:58
We Got Fight I don't care what you say about our friends We got fight, we got fight, we got fight I don't care what you say about our trends We got rights, we got rights, we got rights We'll keep living with our eyes wide shut So we'll never hit the ground, no we'll never come around We'll keep living with our minds made up No we'll never see the light We got fight, we got fight, we got... It's not fair what you say about our friends Just to spite, just to spite, just to spite It's unclear what you know about our trends Just ain't right, just ain't right, just ain't right We'll keep on fighting We'll keep uniting Until our days are done Oh, fires still igniting We're burning brightly Our lives have just begun
4.
Monster 03:39
Monster Hey all! Beware! Beware! Yeah! Here she comes! She'll find an elegant way to rip your heart right out She said "It's my way, my way Can't anyone, can't anyone ever change my mind!" I know she knows more than anyone Can anyone ever change her mind? MONSTER! Hey all! Beware! Beware! Yeah! Here she comes! She'll find an elegant way to smash your head right in Run for the mountains, run for the hills When she's through there will be not a one No use in fighting, only surviving No you can't stop what's gonna come
5.
Lowly Eyes 04:38
Lowly Eyes These hands how they lead astray Still I fall to my knees never rising It’s not me it’s this skin It’s this fear I’m living But these truths, these lowly truths heed our call Breath to my lungs my heart will beat again These eyes, these lowly eyes turn to see Redemption standing in front of me Sorrow how it flows through my veins Through and through with the lies with the fighting It’s not me it’s this sin It’s this life I’m living
6.
Sweet Lipped Woman I know there's a way I'm just looking for the will A distant shore, a light, a city on a hill Oh, then my head outweighs my heart Oh you, the weakening to my self I know what you'll say How you'll reason and convey Tales of character The rejection of your name Oh, when your head outweighs your heart Oh you, the withering to my bones As we reap the trouble from the wicked that was sown I long for the hollow and the known things still unknown As I choke down the pain my heart beats indelible shame Oh you, sweet lipped woman, you took everything I know what they'll say What they'll offer what they'll pray An old song of love, sympathy and pain Oh, but my head outweighs my heart Oh you, the sorrow to my soul As we reap the trouble from the wicked that was sown I long for the hollow and the known things still unknown As I choke down the pain my heart beats indelible shame Oh you, sweet lipped woman, you took everything Everything but me
7.
December 03:26
December You've been gone for a while now But I can't get your words out of my head Repeating, repeating they're so deceiving No I can't break away from the hurt you caused And the love that was lost No I can't seem to throw it all away Away Yeah you've been gone a while now But I can't help but wish you were still here By my side But then I remember the pain you cause All the love that was lost No I can seem to throw it all away Like you did But we'll all move on without you Someday the pain will fade away Yeah we'll all be fine without you Even your name will fade away Hallelujah
8.
Light Years 03:54
Light Years I’ve been mistreated I’ve been strung along I’ve seen faces turn and look the other way I’ve followed suit I’ve followed words I’ve seen faith fall to insecurity I’ve been one person torn apart I’ve seen results of trusting things unseen Now my conclusion is disillusion Choosing and loosing My eyes are open for the first time Now I finally see Clear as the stars and the moon You said it’s over, it’s over Now that all feelings have gone I can get over, I’m over You and your words and your oh so treacherous way I’ve heard things promised I’ve heard them sworn I’ve turned pages guaranteed to bring relief I’ve witnessed heros swallow their words I’ve felt treason shake the world of those I love I’ve been one person torn apart I’ve seen results of trusting things unseen
9.
Smoke And Mirrors I know all about you I know all your ways The only one that you are fooling is you Yeah, you’re the only one you’re fooling Smoke and mirrors yeah I had you all wrong You’re singing words to a different song Settled on that you didn’t belong You’re gone The spirit of you lingers A scent of apathy Your reflection keeps you running Yeah, your reflection keeps you running
10.
Just Like Daughter I see you’ve found your reason Tucked in your bag wrapped in leather Hey, like mother like father just like daughter Contentment comes in shades of green How it shimmers and shines Oh it looks so divine No oath can withstand its qualities All your marvelous worth you’ll take to the earth But I say You’ve got your money oh but honey It wont get you nowhere All my tries turned to lies in your head Well your reflection needs affection But you wouldn’t look here All my tries turned to lies in your head I guess I see your reason But did it have to involve my name Hey, like mother like father just like daughter With two fingers I point the blame The day we swore to never see has come and gone now Your doubt was treason up against my faith And now all that’s left is ignorance and reasons why Reasons why
11.
Oh, Desire 05:11
Oh, Desire Oh, the songs of my youth have all faded And now new melodies drift all around The whites of my eyes are receding Because now the weight of reality is gone Because it don’t mean a thing Not a thing to me now No it don’t mean a thing Not a thing to me now Oh, faith in myself is returning I leave fear and rejection alone And see my hands brushing her words away And now the weight of beliefs are all gone Oh, desire, take me higher
