Two Wolves
02:04
|

|
There are two wolves,
Good and bad,
Struggling within
Each of us, and so we ask
Which wolf wins?
The answer, friends,
Is contingent on
The counsel that you heed.
The wolf that will consume your life
Is the one that you feed.

Brutality
03:09
|

|
I used to think about you a lot,
But I couldn't let myself love you.
Cause I was afraid
That you wouldn't feel the same.
And when those fears became
Reality,
My heart couldn't take that kind of
Brutality.
I used to talk to you all the time,
Till I wasn't sure if you would answer.
I used to talk to you all the time,
Till I wasn't sure about my chances.
Got this broken glass,
Shattered on the floor.
It's been lying there
Since you opened the door,
And walked into this room.
And you started to bruise
Everything that I want,
Everything that I choose.

Dead End
04:44
|
|||
|
Walking away into the light of the darkness,
So watch us stumble and cry ourselves
Back to sleep.
Squinting your eyes at the headlights.
It's worse than we imagined,
Each way leads us to a dead end.
The lights, sounds, echoes, and patterns
Of a thousand lives weave together.
They say you've changed
You're too smart for the clever-hearted
So change your way of life and the way that you
Think you're right
I'm not the same and I'm older
You're just afraid that you lost your power.

Can I be the piece of paper
You bought at the store today?
I could lie there on the desk
And let your color soak into me
I would really like to the kind of boy
You'd put in a golden frame.
Really I could be anything,
As long as I can keep my name.
Ooooooooh!
As long as I can keep my name.
Is there more that you wanted
than paper allowed to say?
The ink spilled on the letters;
covered up everything.
You have a way with words
that turns the chill of night into a sunny day.
Really we could be anything,
As long as we can keep our names.

Keeping Time
04:00
|

|
Welcome back home.
Don't expect a know-it-all.
How much you each have changed:
Enough to make me look so plain.
Blocked by a wall of flame,
Held in place by a ball and chain.
Count on hopeless dreams,
Backed by a time machine.
You put all of your hope
In a faceless future...NOW.
A dial tone -- that's all I get.
Your number -- evades my mind.
Like a broken watch
Struggles to keep the time.
Wind at our backs,
Don't pretend you know it all.
How can you see the facts
With those questions that you ask?
Blocked by a wall of flame,
Held in place by a ball and chain.
Count on hopeless dreams,
Backed by a time machine.
You knew it was coming,
So I would start running...NOW!
A dial tone -- that's all I get.
Your number -- evades my mind.
Like a broken watch
Struggles to keep the time.
I fall behind.

Lantern Girl

Lantern girl, bring in some light
To this world. It's so grey.
Lantern girl, bring in some light
To this world.
It's so great to see you smiling
While the days are slowly filing by
And the rain is piling up
On the leaves outside.
Don't wake up
Before I go.
Happiest girl I've ever known.
The fog leads you away and I say Don't Go.
Evening sky calls your name,
The clouds float by the sun's doused flame.
Evening sky calls your name,
Clouds float by, but
We remain.
The stars lead you astray and I say Don't Go.

Lights, Sounds, Echoes
03:03

Chorus:
Lights, lights, lights.
Sound, sound, sound.
Echoes off the city walls.
Make us think that we're enthralled.
All these people dressed like lions,
In their hoodies and their homemade shoes.
looking for something real.
Really, they just want to feel,
Because it's been a long time.
Chorus
Things were simpler then,
You were happy if you made it home.
Even then if you were with your friends,
You never had to feel alone,
For a very long time.
Chorus
I met this kid just the other night
Who never had escaped from the processed light, the constant fights.
Someone's got to teach this boy
What it means to reach for joy.
Because it's been a long time.
Chorus
