Up Against The Wall

We can never say what
What we always feel is right
Send me with a single shot
I'll come back with an open mind
I'm alive, I'm alive
And I watch my world as it falls
My back's up against the wall
I told you so
There's so little left to hold
I don't, I don't know
How I'm gonna let you go
My back's up against the wall
We can never go nowhere
Until we give it the proper time
Send her with a single shot
And hope to god it opens her mind
I will try, I will try
And I watch my world as it falls
My back's up against the wall
I told you so
There's so little left to hold
I don't, I don't know
How I'm gonna let you go
How I'm gonna let you go (x3)
And I watch my world as it falls
My back's up against the wall
I told you so
There's so little left to hold
I don't, I don't know
How I'm gonna let you go
My back's up against the wall
My back's up against the wall (x3)

Old Souls

I wish I couldn't see the moves you make
Pour another drink and we shall find the strength
I think we both feed off each other's pain
Crack another smile we shall pass the day
Cause we are, we are , we're all good for something
We just haven't found it yet
And we know, we know, we all got a purpose
It just hasn't hit us yet
It just hasn't hit us,
Who ever thought that we would see the day
When conversation only happens through a screen
Too hip are those who still prefer the tape
Souls of old days past begin to dissipate
We had our tickets but we missed the train
People come and go but they all feel the same
They feel tied down believing is the chain
We only move as fast as our weakest link
Cause we are, we are , we're all good for something
We just haven't found it yet
And we know, we know, we all got a purpose
It just hasn't hit us yet
It just hasn't hit us,
Who owns the makeup in which paints your face
You wear another person's personality with grace
You find yourself right in the very place
Where double sided mirrors feel like they're heaven's gates
Cause we are, we are, we're all good for something
Cause we are, we are, we're all good for something
Cause we are, we are, we're all good for something
Cause we are, we are, we're all good for something

Pass Of Time

I'm dreaming up
A painted face to show my love
If skies above could hold you up
Then surely there is room for all of us
Who took what you gave (x2)
How am I supposed to describe my mind
People come and go that's the pass of time
You can't fight the past that's the bottom line
It's alright, it's alright
I'm thinking of
Intuition's hard to touch
If one is taught to hold the gun
Then who's to blame when it goes off on us
Who took what you gave (x4)
How am I supposed to describe my mind
People come and go that's the pass of time
You can't fight the past that's the bottom line
It's alright, it's alright (x2)
They never did nothing to you
But you're coming for them
You look to the sky before you shoot
Hoping that you see heaven (x4)
There's nothing but clouds up there

The Note

I'm never gonna break you off
I'm never gonna change your mind
A soldier hardly starts the war
But they always follow close behind
And so it's simple sell the dream
As we wait for the world to care
Our brains made of plasticine
And our hearts no longer there
And the note read
Oh, oh I can feel it in my bones
Won't see tomorrow
Too busy growing old
And the note read
Oh, oh I can feel it getting cold
The souls we borrowed will never be our own
And it makes me wonder
And it makes me wonder
We're never gonna add it up
At least that's how I feel
The words upon your skin
Have slim to no appeal
And so it's simple find the leader
The one that stays true
As we try and climb the ladder
A see it do it attitude
And the note read
Oh, oh I can feel it in my bones
Won't see tomorrow
Too busy growing old
And the note read
Oh, oh I can feel it getting cold
The souls we borrowed will never be our own
And it makes me wonder
And it makes me wonder
Someday
We'll see the dots connecting
The way it should have been
We'll wait
Until the gears start turning
Till then they can choose who to blame
And the note read
Oh, oh I can feel it in my bones
Won't see tomorrow
Too busy growing old
And the note read
Oh, oh, oh I can feel I'm getting cold
The souls we borrowed will never be our own
And it makes me wonder

Home

Fold our hands while we sit by the table
Close our eyes and speak your fables
Drink your wine without reading the label
Serve our food but it already became cold
Oh, I want to go home
Antique chairs and a hand built table
Picture frames on the wall hang too low
Nothing on the counter but an empty fruit bowl
Bread in the pantry but it's growing blue mold
Oh, please come home
I remember every word you said before you left
You're working hard to get away but it is time for a rest
Nothing in the room but an old turntable
The music played from the crackling vinyl
A smell in the air but it's hard to describe though
Musty and dry and reminds me of old hope
Oh, please take me home
A sudden loud noise coming straight from the window
A single glance sees a wounded sparrow
The circle of life is not easily controlled
Survival of the fittest surely can be quite cold
Oh, where is my home
I remember every word you said before you left
You're working hard to get away but it is time for a rest (x2)
Time for a rest
I remember every word you said before you left
You're working hard to get away but it is time for a rest (x2)
Oh, where is my home (x4)
I remember every word you said before you left
You're working hard to get away but it is time for a rest
Time for a rest
