Living just to live
living while I'm able
'cause I can't fake up like I did
with my cards upon the table
'cause if it's not what you do
it's gotta be how you feel
nothin' else to do
so tell me something real
Oh, I can't wait to see you on
another day
put me on that feeling that you
feel today
how I long to remember
your smile across time
right now, break through the door
and I can't shake this feeling so it's
here to stay
when you finally find me in another way
will you try to remember
my smile across time,
face down, asleep on the floor
through all the joy and pain
there's something makes me wonder
is this breath in me the same
as the groove that pulls me under?
'cause if it's not what you do
it's gotta be how you feel
tell me something new
tell me something real
Oh, I can't wait to see you on
another day
put me on that feeling that you
feel today
how I long to remember
your smile across time
right now, break through the door
and I can't shake this feeling so it's
here to stay
when you finally find me in another way
will you try to remember
my smile across time,
face down, asleep on the floor
Living just to live
while living feels so real
so then I'll give all I can give
watching all the wheels
'cause if it's not what you do
it's gotta be how you feel
tell me something new
tell me something real
Oh, I can't wait to see you on
another day
put me on that feeling that you
feel today
how I long to remember
your smile across time
right now, break through the door
and I can't shake this feeling so it's
here to stay
when you finally find me in another way
will you try to remember
my smile across time,
face down, asleep on the floor

My Connection
02:49
|
|||
I see that you grew up aright to sing a song
I see that you grew up and on and on and on
I see you arising right where you belong
Now won't you let me hear it?
Are you feeling an emotion?
I'd just let it roll, the rhythm of my own heartbeat
You can get on my connection
fall right down a holy river, and lose your mind there
I see that you grew up aright to go along
I see that you grew older on and on and on
I see that you arise in every single song
Now won't you let me hear it?
Are you feeling an emotion?
I'd just let it roll, the rhythm of my own heartbeat
You can get on my connection
fall right down a holy river, and lose your mind there

On The Floor
03:48
|
|||
Freakin' out,
I know where you been
I know where you been
I know where you been
Scream and shout,
I know where you been
I know where you been
I know where you been
Wish I could
take it out
take it out
take it off you now
Hope I'm good
I'm clearin' out
I'm throwin' down
all that exhausts me now
Are you trying to perceive me? (Yes, I am)
Do you struggle just to be me? (I'm a poor man)
I will love you till you're ready
I'm on the floor so open up the door for me
Losing ground,
I know where you been
I know where you been
I know where you been
Lost and found,
I'll be there again
I'll be there again
I'll be there again
Wish I could
skip the night
hold you tight
I won't be here at all
I hope I'm good
to be the light
to see it right
I won't be fear at all
Are you trying to perceive me? (Yes, I am)
Do you struggle just to be me? (I'm a poor man)
I will love you till you're ready
I'm on the floor so open up the door for me

Wandering Sideways
02:56
|
|||
Long have I known you and what will you find
The pain that you've suffered will leave you in time
Oh, how I miss you when I am unkind
To see you, to be you, to be one of
This is how I know that you'll be just fine
wandering sideways through the field of time
Long have I been here and much have I felt
Nothin' but patterns in the hands I've been dealt
And I love you for holding my hand
Seeing through madness to be part of the plan
And I know that it's all the same
You give what you get, and none shall remain

When I'm Down
03:53
|
|||
When I'm down, give me nothing at all
you give me everything that I want
When I'm down, give me nothing at all
you give me everything that I want
(ahh)
And if I can't see the light
take me home with you tonight
and as long as you're with me
there's no better place to be
When I'm down, give me nothing at all
you give me everything that I want
When I'm down, give me nothing at all
you give me everything that I want
(ahh)
And if you are just like me
wondering what you ought to be
know as long as you are you
there's no other thing to do
(ahh)

Face On The Wall
03:41
|
|||
Here I found you, a friend along the way
Without fear, you keep the only dark at bay
Through all my trials, sugar, you can see me through
But I can't help but smile because
There's nothing,
nothing but your face on the wall
and that's you
I'll surround you as long as I can stay
Whenever your spirit goes dragging down
I'll say it straight that we're okay
I'd never turn away from you if I felt good
but always you break on through now, 'cause
There's nothing
nothing but your face on the wall
and that's you
have I always felt thus?
have I always been thus?

Strange
02:55
|
|||
Every time you try to grow up
you are born inside a child
every time you try to deny
who you are
it's blasting off
it's crying forward
into the light (3x)
Strange,
it's so strange
it's a promise
who we are
Strange,
it's so strange
it's a purpose
who we are
Strange,
it's so strange
it's a promise
who we are
Every time you try to grow up
you are born inside a child
every time you try to deny
who you are
it's blasting off
it's crying forward
into the light (2x)
Strange,
it's so strange
it's a promise
who we are
Strange,
it's so strange
it's a purpose
who we are
Strange,
it's so strange
it's a promise
who we are
Strange,
it's so strange
it's a purpose
who we are

I'm Alright
02:15
|
|||
I'm alright
I hope it rains all night
it's only just begun
you're okay
even though you still feel the pain
you did when you were young
it's all good
I guess I never could
take it all away
and that's okay
I've got feelings for the rain
Do you feel 'em too?
I'm alright
another cold November night
with your picture on my wall
You're okay
it doesn't matter anyway
feelings roll along
and it's all good
even though we're all misunderstood
each in our own way
and that's okay
I've got feelings for the rain
and you can feel 'em too

I Know That You Love Me
02:17
|
|||
Makes things a little bit easier
makes me a little less scared when you're home
takes me a little bit longer to
come up out of the dark
when you're gone
I'm gone too
I know that you love me
I know that you love me
I know, I know, I know that you love me (but I, but I, but I, still feel lonely)
Makes me practice my patience
but I don't have reservations about you
our path is yet to be reckoned
but I don't doubt for a second that
you're my only truth
I know that you love me
I know that you love me
I know, I know, I know that you love me (but I, but I, but I, still feel lonely)
The pain I feel when you're not around
is what this building up's for, and knocking down
the pain in my fingers that can't be found
is what this building up's for, and tearing down
I know that you love me
I know that you love me
I know, I know, I know that you love me (but I, but I, but I, still feel lonely)

Inverted
03:10
|
|||
The real world's deserted
you didn't see your brother
you left without yourself
the real life is worth it
leave behind all papers
pertaining to yourself
whoever you think you are
you're lost if you think that you can win
but the moment let you go
then, you will know the end
Throw down your life
bleed into white
and all you'll have is all you need
and now I'm just screamin'
forget the fight
hang with the light
and all you'll have is what you need
and all you'll have is what you'll be
the real world's inverted
you don't do to others
you do it to yourself
the real word, you've heard it
you don't think of others
you think about yourself
the measure you hold to one
is the one you hold up to yourself
when you give up the gun
you'll see the others have as well
Throw down your life
bleed into white
and all you'll have is all you need
and now I'm just screamin'
forget the fight
hang with the light
and all you'll have is what you need

Fading Away
02:57
|
|||
I'm fading away
but I don't mind anyway
I'm starting to like what I'm under
there's nothin' to say
just sit and let the day
come in and wash me over
realizing
one by one
second life
to find the sun
In your house
I am not afraid
my mind is free from doubt
ahh
release me now
find you reaching out
pull me out from under
great surprises
they will come
all my strength
to love the one
ahh

Sweetness

Sweetness
surrounds you
what will you do
with
the day
all the problems
in your life
will be shucked off
with the knife
the minute you ask then you shall receive
you've been here
you'll stay here
you've seen it
all before
although I may try to fight
all evaporates to light
and with it, you'll pass
into the unseen
the minute you ask, then you shall receive
the minute you ask, then you shall receive
the minute you ask, then you shall receive
