Emergency

nine times my normal height
why don't i notice
 
a little of this gonna take your fears
a little of that gonna clean your window
emergency better keep it near
tell me how do you feel
 
emergency you've got my name on file
dig small machines won't you from your pile
emergency
 
five flies gather round my eyes
why don't i mind
 
you there floating down the stairs
light my cigarette



Push Back Now

who cut the rope when i grabbed it
who offered hope then retracted
 
i've been pushing you to stand
push back now, push back now
i've been pushing you to stand
push the wall over
 
you read the note when i passed it
you laid at home fading faster
 
I've noticed  worlds go by trying to rake your soul
it's not the end of time
just trying to warn you
before it's over please if you can
stand a little taller and push the wall over



I Bet My Soul on You

you are the fire in my eye 
you are the dreams when i fly
every little bird in my sky
these are the reasons why

i bet my soul on you

like the days that have no order
dying flowers wouldn't drink my water
i begin like a bringdown author
if not for you

best of the stones on the shoreline
best of the laughs on a high time
i tripped up yesterday
never mind
these are the reasons why

like the days that have no order
dying flowers wouldn't drink my water
i begin like a bringdown author
if not for you



The Leaves

you and i in a daydream
autumn flower what the rain brings
black feather on the ground, little treasure that we found
of all the things i've seen what can it mean

time goes by we never know why
can't we just fly with it

winter will come calling
black wings paint the sky oh what a ride
it couldn't get much colder
the leaves tell you why
the leaves start it all over

frozen grass the leaves have covered
keep it warm like worried mothers
the never ending truth that nothing really dies
the start of something new is coming through

take the leaves from my mind
don't want to think on it anymore



Standby

back then our decisions were brain free
i did for you and you did right by me

static hurt the vine, falling off in time oh no
just my friends and i trying to feel the real high

i know you're out there cause i saw the spark
you know it took a lot to get this far
i can see you out there, if your plan falls through
hold the line until i get to you

just a couple of kids from the same street
we stretched out but you know we're still family



Brave Path to You

there's a spy i saw
creeping through a door
nothing makes a sound
but i can't slow down
 
stepping over fallen clues
in the form of weeping fools
so one seems to make it through
the brave path to you
 
there's a laugh i heard before
turned into a roar
trying to turn me round
but i can't stop now



One of the Unsinkable

i have gone but where are you today
the psychic zone said nothing
well the only thing that matters
is that peace is all that's scattered round you

jokes are told, the empty packs begin
the time gets old then nothing
well if laughter's all that matters
then you need some pain to make it feel true
nothing else will do

now you know
got to grab onto the wreckage and float
when it's done you'll be one of the unsinkable

town of crows that scream at you today
they might be smart but who'd listen
well you don't appreciate it if the warmth is
always pounding on you
you got to know who's who

we never will be gone
we'll keep holding on just the same
on a ladder to reach the sun
there's room for everyone



It's Gonna Burst

when trouble creeps on in is when you need a friend
i looked behind my back, wasn't nothing but a shadow jack

schoolbooks could never prepare me

i got a head full of problems, don't know where i can turn
but i got a heart full of love, feels like it's gonna burst
i got a brake for a throttle, feels like i've been cursed
i got a heart full of love, feels like it's gonna burst

your team got second place, your education was a waste
your work goes down in flames, don't you think we feel the same




Faces to the Sun

days go by without a sound
what can we do with our time
i've seen the proof there is a roof
forever's not to shine
 
take your places everyone
ready to the run
mindful why we have all come
faces to the sun
 
summertime we took it slow
no one in bloom on the lawn
the light is on so now we know
there's room enough to grow
 
there are spaces in between
things we say and things we mean
but i'll always give you everything i have



All is Right

have we come to the end
is it too late to try
have we come to the end
is it in you to fly
is it in you to fly

have we come to the scene
where you say goodbye
give me some time to think
so i can hit rewind
and try to change your mind

what i wanted to say
is all is right when i hold you
as the memories fade
let's make it last one more day

have we come to the end
is it my place to try
how can i hold you back
i've seen you watch the sky
it's in you to fly

have we come to the door
that i've been afraid to try
have we come to the door
let's swing it open wide
and see what's outside

all is right
just destiny's joke
all is right
won't let it beat us
all is right
i'll set you free, love
if you don't belong



I Could Be Reborn

i needed someone to come in my dreams
to walk cross my grave and set me free

i didn't know i was sleeping
i didn't know i could be reborn

i needed someone to pass me by
to hold my hand but tell me lies
