Too Many Moons
03:44

It’s time for time with you and so I’ve broken all my ties.
Nothing could keep me here. Nothing could interfere tonight.
Too many Moons till then
Our summer soon will end
Running out the door, now I’m looking forward to this night with you.
Familiar as before, the way we change our fortunes into something new.
Too Many Moons till then
Our summer soon will end
You manage to arrive before me and I find you standing in a light.
The clock will run ahead if you don’t watch it and it steals away our time.
Too Many moons till then
Our summer soon will end

The Tattoo and the Scar
04:32

The tattoo and the scar they tell a different story
One is mostly art, the other mainly glory
They both have points of view, Each has cut you through
And now they are attached to you
Lie asleep then lie awake
Falling in the dreams we’re making
Reaching for the truth along the way
Needless to say
Rumor and the truth so seldom come together
One provides us proof, the others like the weather
From someone we all know or friends that come and go
This is how your story grows
<Chorus>
The Echo and the shout, they come from different places
One is acted out, the other one is faceless
Replicated words, the valley’s overheard
Shared among the scattered birds
<Chorus>
The whisper and the sigh to share them brings us closer
A breath that gets us by or limits our exposure
When there’s no room to shout or when there is a doubt
We just have to let things out

Peer

I call for peace and you pull the trigger
Ask for forgiveness, you fall to your knees
I sold myself out, you sold your soul
Why do you always try and out do me
What gave rise to this?
I start a fire, you lay the wire
I light the fuse and then you flee the scene
Call you a liar, you punch my shoulder
Hide from the footsteps then jump out and scream
What gave rise to this?
Track me down and I leave you stranded
Call my phone and I just let it ring
You hate my music, I lost your interest
Share opinions just to disagree
What gave rise to this?
I turn away and you turn yourself in
Forget the past so it turns out the same
When we’re alone we can hold together
When we’re together we fall apart again
What gave rise to this?

One is for Sorrow
02:27

One is for sorrow
Two is for joy
Three is for a girl
Four is for a boy
Five is for crimson
Six is for gold
Seven for a secret
Never to be told
Eight is for wishing
Nine is for a Kiss
Ten is to remember
Someone that you miss
Eleven is for Heaven
Twelve is for Earth
Thirteen for lost ones
Hoping to return

Just Another Thing
04:15
|
|||
|
Found a paper Map that had been folded wrong
Marked with places that I had never could have gone
It was waiting in a dusty old shoe box
In a corner where my memories had stopped
Just another thing telling me to go
Just another thing calling me home
Just another clue left behind
Just another few steps outside
Just another old gate torn down
Just another road out of town
Just another path to the light
Just another escape at night
There’s note on an arrow on the door
Telling me that she has never killed before
But she would make exceptions in my case
She can never say things to my face
<Chorus>
A change of scenery
Sometimes it just means changing me
Now I’m standing where the sun is in my eyes
By the tracks where the thought had crossed my mind
Waiting on the shadow of the train
Nothing in my bag or to my name
<Chorus>
A change of scenery
Sometimes it just means changing me
If I dare to dream
The scenery is changing me

Candle
04:26
|

To watch the candle burn can show you how I feel
It’s interesting to learn how much it can reveal
And into shape she tries in vain to pull herself
Stand in the darkest light. It really suits you well tonight
I won’t even try, try to change her mind
And it’s been so low. My candle
My dreams they always fade the moment that I wake
Holding in reserve the liberties I take
The morning is too soon for contact with the world
Now everything she’s touched is reminding me of her eyes
I won’t even try, try to change her mind
And it’s been so low. My candle
You need to hang your memories out to dry, so do I
You need to keep your feet behind the line, so do I
You need to say what’s really on your mind, so do I
From habit now I turn expecting she’ll be there
The one who pulled me through no longer seems to care
My heart is in her hands, but her hands are always tied
Once again I stand and watch from the outside

Hands Up
02:42

Hands up
Do just like I say
Open up
Then slowly walk away from me
Stay Down
And no one will be hurt
Count down
I just may return here
Don’t move
I can’t say what I’ll do
Your move
The rest is up to you my dear
Here after or here and now
Look Back
You just may regret
Stay back
I’m not finished yet with you

Suffering in Silence
03:12
|
|||
|
You’re the only one that knows the mistress at the Funeral
The only one that see the forest for the trees
You could clue them in but you’ll just have to let it go
No one in the room is ready to believe you there
suffering in silence, you’re there suffering
You chose to seal your lips, now your wings are clipped
To navigate away is a matter of degrees
You can make a point, you can change the scene
Everybody in the room is waiting just to leave you there
suffering in silence, you’re there suffering
You know what’s going on, does it make wrong
Anything you say would be twisted anyway
Why not make it yours, if only to belong
Whisper to an ear and someone will relieve you there
suffering in silence, you’re there suffering
Lights are on the stage, the act is underway
Now you watch the play with a smile on your face
Some will hide their eyes while others will deny
On to something new, time to close the door and leave them there
suffering in silence, oh their suffering
