All We Are

I don't remember being born
I'm in the same old clothes I've always worn
It's too cold to turn the engine on
The sky is warning of a storm
Give it up for heaven's sake
Or take your feet up off the brakes
Just like a circle never loses shape
All we are is what we make
We've taken walks along the Seine
But I won't go there with you again
Still I can't help thinking now and then
Of consequences we unintend

Say What You're Thinking

Don't let it go
Don't hide what you know
'Cause I can read your mind
How does it feel?
Tell me how does it feel?
When they leave you far behind
Why don't you say what you're thinking?
Why don't you say what you're thinking now?
Look what you've found
It's bringing you down
And it just won't leave you're head
You know you can slide
You're rotting insde
And you might as well be dead
Why don't you say what you're thinking?
Why don't you say what you're thinking now?
It's okay
Don't back down
It's okay
Don't back down
Say what you're thinking
It's alright

Closer To You

I've been giving you hints so long that I'm starting to doubt
Maybe I am some you can live without
Can it really be that you don't understand what I'm trying to do?
I'm just sitting here thinking of ways of getting closer to you
Closer to you
Closer to you
I'm just sitting here thinking of ways of getting closer to you
I remember a time when I thought you was feeling the same
Now it feels like I'm really falling short of being true to my aim
Can't it really be that you don't understand what I'm trying to do?
Baby I'm just sitting here thinking of ways of getting closer to you
Let it go
There's a time and place for everything
Let it go
And that times not now
I gotta let her go
She's got not time for me in her life now

Tressa steps outside
She breathes a sigh
And wipes away her black mascara
All at once
She'll realize
The days of bows and ponytails have gone
And how they didn't last that long
Tressa tries to hide away
From anything
That might cast her reflection
She's afraid
That everyone will notice
She's got nothing left inside
And that's where Tressa likes to hide
She's worn down
She's worn thin
She doesn't know where to begin
She's so tired
Of waiting on a lover
She wants out
She wants in
She doesn't know where to begin
She's so tired
Of waiting on a lover
And all the pictures that she keeps of her
Are old and faded
And all the promises of those she loved
Are now outdated
Her father told her that
The only one you have in life is you
She's worn down
She's worn thin
She doesn't know where to begin
She's so tired
Of waiting on a lover
She gives out
She gives in
She doesn't know where to begin
She's so tired
Of waiting on a lover

"22"

There's no safe place in the City
You anonymously blend with scene
Attracted to the noise from the incandescent boys
Who have taken more than you've ever dreamed
You close your eyes on top of some high rise
And you wonder what it feels like to fly
The wind's blowing through and it whispers to you
It's says: "You're beautiful, you're beautiful"
So take this 22 caliber water gun
You put it in your mouth and pretend you're gone
And in the morning when you wake up and see the sun
You'll have won
You don't recongnize yourself in the mirror
There's a sadness you can never relate
You're covered in the scars that you picked up in the bars
And you know that you cant carry the weight
You close your eyes on top of some high rise
And you wonder what it feels like to fly
The wind's blowing through and it whispers to you
It says: "You're beautiful, you're beautiful"
So take this 22 caliber water gun
You put it in your mouth and pretend you're gone
And in the morning when you wake up and see the sun
You'll have won
