VERSE 1: And I fall into the sea That will capture me till morning I'm not ready to drown But your dragging me down to the sand You've got you're tentacles of lust Wrapped in and out around my fingers And your inky black cloud of lies Pulls me further from land INTERLUDE VERSE 2: All these bubbles in my vision Like the dishes in my kitchen Are obscuring my view I can't see through You're gonna suck me down the drain Whirlpools in my brain I'm in a terrible mood I'll blame it on you (Oooh) But I get caught in the disposal I'm not liking this proposal I feel like a spoon Or a piece of food I'm sick of thrashing and winding And gashing and grinding Up against the wall You're orders are so tall But I'm not the same person without you CHORUS: True Sometimes I say I'm sick of living with you But without you I don't know what the hell I'd do You balance out this Roller coaster up and down the Day Sometimes I feel like pushing you away But no matter what the words that I say I'll keep you with me on this Roller coaster up and down VERSE 3: Oh the terror of night Is falling down from the ceiling And your hand grips my shoulder Like a spider with a terrible claw You're piercing under my skin You make me feel paper thin, what a feeling You strip away the layers Make me shiver cause my mind is so raw But I'm not the same person without you CHORUS: True Sometimes I say I'm sick of living with you But without you I don't know what the hell I'd do You balance out this Roller coaster up and down the Day Sometimes I feel like pushing you away But no matter what the words that I say I'll keep you with me on this Roller coaster up and down (Up and down) (Up and down) (Up and down) (Up and down) (Up and down) (Up and down) (Up and down) (I'll keep you on this roller coaster up and down) True Sometimes I'm sick of living with you But without you I don't know what I'd do So I'll keep you with me on this Roller coaster up and down

Soldiers of Our Minds 03:42
lyrics
VERSE 1: There's no place that I would rather be than right here next to you You know the best days of summer have already passed and I think I start to feel it too You tell me whats on your mind tell me whats going on hoping that I dont break down You hope that I will know that it's the right thing to docause we both know your leaving town Your words hit me hard knock my heart to the floor in my eye there's a shimmer of a tear But you give me a hug tell me everythings fine that I dont have anything to fear It hurts me to think of all the things we could have done if you and me were still together But I understand the place where your coming from I know that love doesn't last forever. CHORUS: This place where love resides, You get the funny feeling everythings alright So let me take a minute to look into your eyes Seeking out the future is the best sometimes Reach out your hand and Ill take yours A leap of faith together walking through this door The soldiers of our minds are getting ready for war Gaze into the clouds and we can let our hearts soar VERSE 2: The road that leads us far away, but stills stays close to home, The line that separates clinically insane and just a little out of control If home's where the heart is than what about the place where I left my heart behind When I think about the road that leads back home, it seems like a waste of time If i didnt know better I think i might think that your trying to take advantage of me But i remember the times and I remember the places and i know that you were happy Sometimes things just don't work out the way your plan was envisioned Its those times you just gotta take a step back and give your plan a little revision CHORUS: This place where love resides, You get the funny feeling everythings alright So let me take a minute to look into your eyes Seeking out the future is the best sometimes Reach out your hand and Ill take yours A leap of faith together walking through this door The soldiers of our minds are getting ready for war Gaze into the clouds and we can let our hearts soar

Run Away 04:20
lyrics

VERSE 1: They're calling my name Calling me to surrender But a lost memory shows up with a warning sign A finger of pain reaches into your chest and starts attacking Thats the point when reality starts to be a state of mind You know that someone out there is looking for your secrets Maybe the government or hackers or maybe it's just your self You think about all the things that you've been hiding But then you realize that it can't be you, it must be somebody else CHORUS: Run away from this heaven Cut the cords and turn your back before it's too late Run away and try not to remember You have to find something new to ease the pain You better run dont look back just run away VERSE 2: Whatcha know, overflow Everything's remote control Trying to remember if it was light or dark before the snow Golden glow, hammerthrow Watch out your gonna fall below Working hard to fill your status quo, right? No. If everything was perfect there'd be no need for the military Sirens, whistles, bombs and missiles blowing up preliminary Try to stop it you'll get dropped by millions of bullets, they got Trillions of dollars just to throw away, more money every day Sometimes you just have to fight it Other days you just can't deny it Sometimes there's just nothing left to do... CHORUS: But run away from this heaven Cut the cords and turn your back before it's too late Run away and try not to remember You have to find something new to ease the pain You better run dont look back just run away BRIDGE: Trapped inside me I can't hide there's a barrier protecting me Stone wall made of bullet-proof kevlar All that i can do is scream VERSE 3: Resolution seems like a long ways off But you gotta keep something in mind If everybody had nothing to do We'd all stare at the seconds going by Sometimes the best thing to do Is to remember to focus on the present moment So when life starts to get the better of you Please just remember one thing, please dont Run away

Song of Themself 05:30
lyrics

He was a young man He had it all figured out Then one day it came crashing down He knew that was everything was falling apart He thought he could save it all From ruin Little did he know that The worst things happen at the best time Little did he know that The blood of a savior The mind of a hero The unspoken words That could have changed time Killed by the fear Of self-righteous cowards Every pure soul Is waiting to die Stepped out of the door Of his one-room apartment Planning on attending A convention of sorts He looked up to see a strange Man in black clothing The bullet found its way Straight into his heart The way the grass bends in the wind Never again The deep rays of sunshine at sunrise through the mountains at dawn Never again The golden leaves twitching and twirling and falling and dying to brown Never again I wish I could have just one final goodbye moment Reach for the sky hoping Please stay alive dammit Why do we die Then the memories fade, nothing in sight I cross the mountains and welcome the light I welcome the light I found home (He was a young man, he had it all figured out) I made it home (He was a young man, he had it all by himself) I don't need nobody else Cause I got myself (He didn't need nobody else) And I found home right here I got home Right here

VERSE 1: Paint me a picture and all this will go away The time and the distance and the problems tbay we both face Tell me that one day I'll get to see you again Tell me well make it that long I guess were both crazy for truing to make this work We baely know each other but the distance already hurts But were in this together together we stand alone Trying our best to go on CHORUS: But its easy When you are here in my arms Please don't leave me Alone here to fight with my heart And it's nobody's fault but there our own What choice did we have we were both going home It was take it or leave it we knew What choice did I have I was falling for you VERSE 2: Scared like no other but will you walk back with me tonight Sharing our favorite shows round the fire light Do you feel this too or are you just being nice I suck at picking up on these types of clues So one night I finally get up the guts to ask If I'm just crazy or if you feel the same way as Me and you say that you do and you start to laugh So I reach out my hand to you CHORUS: Cause its easy When you are here in my arms Please don't leave me Alone here to fight with my heart And it's nobody's fault but there our own What choice did we have we were both going home It was take it or leave it we knew What choice did I have I was falling for you VERSE 3: So tell me a story about back home in Ontario Is it frosty already the ground covered up with snow Apologetic Canadians with accents that they don't know With Tim Hortons and free health care So write me a letter with all that you have to say Is there a future together or does it just fade away So I'll hold my breath until I can see the day The day that we both hope is there CHORUS: Cause its easy When you are here in my arms Please don't leave me Alone here to fight with my heart And it's nobody's fault but there our own What choice did we have we were both going home It was take it or leave it we knew What choice did I have I was falling for you So paint me a picture
