Lyrics


1. CLING AND CLATTER

Too many voices, it won't take long
Which one's right, and which one's wrong
And yours is most likely to be misunderstood

Screaming in tongues
At the top of my lungs
Til I find you, til you found me
And somehow I always knew that you would

And I am contemplating matters
All this cling and clatter
In my head, and what you said
Is ringing, ringing faster

[Chorus:]
And it's all good if you would
Stop the world from making sense
And if I could just realize

It doesn't really matter
Doesn't really matter
Doesn't really matter

If I could touch
The sound of silence now
You know I would if I knew how
To make these intentions come around

I'm hearing without listening
And believing every word
That you're not saying
Speaking without a sound

And I am contemplating matters
All this cling and clatter
In my head, and what you said
Is ringing, ringing faster

[Chorus]

Trapped inside of these four walls
Walking brainless muppet dolls
Mushroom face beneath the tangles
Bleeding silhouette inside
Dancing like an angel would

[Chorus] (x2)


2. UNKNOW

This doubt is screaming in my face
In this familiar place
Sheltered and concealed
And if this night won't let me rest
Don't let me second guess what I know to be real

Put away all I know for tonight
And maybe I just might
Learn to let it go
Take my security from me
And maybe finally I won't have to know everything

[Chorus:]
And I am falling into grace
To the unknown to where you are
And faith makes everybody scared
It's the unknown
The don't know
That keeps me hangin' on and on and on to you

I got nothing left to defend
I cannot pretend
That everything makes sense
But does it really matter now
If I do not know how
To figure this thing out

[Chorus]

I'm against myself again
Trying to fit these pieces in
Walking on a cloud of dust to get into you


3. FOOL

Seems my own arrogance has knocked me off my feet again
When you know I'm crawling to you as fast as I can
First teach me to walk
And then I'll learn to dance for you
Like an honest clumsy clown
Tripping along the way

[Chorus:]
Cause I am reaching for you
When my arms aren't long enough
And I am running to you
If I go a little faster
And I am crying to you
But I can't hear my own voice
And I am waiting for you
And I'm trying not to fall asleep now

Cause I am clumsily dancing away this fear
I am stumbling closer to you and I'm
Tumbling over my pride
I will be a fool for you

What are you thinking as you look down on me
Are you frustrated with my inconsistency
Or intrigued that I can find the will to get back up or
Maybe all of this is simply amusing

[Chorus]


4. CROWN OF SCARS

Forget about the fight to wear the crown of scars
Cause you've already won
Forget the pain and leave tears behind you
Bury underneath your feet the remains
Of what's been left behind
Cause you have got a long, long way to run

But now you dance the rest of the way
And you don't look back
Can you hear that angel singing
As you rise

[Chorus:]
Now you fly away
And you don't look down now
And you laugh til' you can't laugh any longer
As you watch your chains fall to the ground

Will you fall against the wall that you have built
With your own hands
When you trip upon the thorns that you have tied
Your legs together with
When you walk upon thin ice you know you should
Not be walking
Why do you wonder why that you fell through

[Chorus]

I know you laugh
And show tears
Smile down at your fears
From where you are
From way up here
You know nothing's ever looked so good
Nothing ever looked so good

But now you dance the rest of the way
You don't look back
Can you hear that angel singing
As you rise


5. MUDPIE

Nothing but a mudpie
Wrapped up inside with a pretty bow
Nothing but a castle built on top of strong, but quicksand
And inside these cardboard walls and saran wrap windows
Lies a rustly pot of fool's gold
That you got with your life
Are you tired (blah blah) on loyalty
Are you tired self to act like royalty
Until the day you became the prey
As you tripped over your red carpet
You wash your hair in that luca oil
Then you wrap your head up in tin foil
Prance around in your bathroom
Pretending you're a king

Just spin me home
Sinking faster now

Well you can follow your rainbows
And I will follow the sun now
Wherever he goes
It's not too far to run
So I will follow the sun
Follow the sun

Nothing but a calendar hanging on your wall
That's 23 years old
Nothing but a for sale sign on a house
That's already sold
Trying to chew through that
Chocolate covered barbed wire
Cause there's a mountain of beautiful filth
Waiting for you on the other side

Just spin me home
Sinking faster now

Clever lines end up rusty and forgotten
Brilliant minds end up with Alzheimer's
What I thought was so deep ended up so hollow
And what I thought had meaning
Ended up so shallow


6. TRYING

Could you let down your hair
Be transparent for a while
Just a little while
To see if you're human, after all

Honesty is hard attribute to find
When we all want to seem like
We've got it all figured out
Let me be first to say that I don't have a clue
I don't have all the answers
Ain't gonna pretend like I do

Just trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
The best that I know how

Well I haven't memorized all of the cute things to say
But I'm working on it
Maybe I'll master this artform someday
If I quote all the lines off the top of my head
Would you believe
That I fully understand all these things I've read

I'm just trying
To find my way
Trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
The best that I know how

Well, I haven't got it all figured out quite yet
But, even if it takes my whole life
To get to where I need to be
If I should fall to the bottom of the end
I'll be one step back to you


7. STORM

How long have I been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head

If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If I'd to see you
This darkness would turn to light

And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be alright
I know everything is alright

I know you didn't
bring me out here to drown
So why am I 10 feet under and upside down?
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Cause I'm so used to living
Underneath the surface

If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If I'd see you
This darkness would turn to light

And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be alright

And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
Everything's alright, yeah
Everything's alright.


8. BREATHING

I'm finding my way back to sanity again
Though I don't really know what
I'm gonna do when I get there
And take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back to the arms of grace

Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be yeah
Where I want to be

I'm looking past the shadows
In my mind into the truth
And I'm trying to identify
The voices in my head
God, which one's you
Let me feel one more time
What it feels like to feel
And break these calluses off of me
One more time

Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside your door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be yeah

I don't want a thing from you
Bet you're tired of me waiting
For the scraps to fall
Off of your table to the ground
Cause I just want to be here now


9. SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN

I can't be losing sleep over this, no, I can't
And now I cannot stop pacing
Give me a few hours I'll have this all sorted out
If my mind would just stop racing

Cause I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
This cannot be happening

This is over my head
But underneath my feet
Cause by tomorrow morning
I'll have this thing beat

And everything will be back
To the way that it was
I wish that it was just that easy

Cause I'm waiting for tonight
Then waiting for tomorrow
And I'm somewhere in between

What is real and just a dream
What is real and just a dream
What is real and just a dream

Would you catch me if I fall
Out of what I fell in
Don't be surprised if I collapse
Down at your feet again
I don't want to run away from this
I know that I just don't need this


10. FAIRY TALES AND CASTLES

He sighs and looks in the mirror
And he can't tell anymore
Who he really is and who they believe him to be
And he sighs and walks a thin line
Between what is and what could be
He's getting closer
To something he can't understand

[Chorus:]
Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
And his throne of ice is melting
He climbed his ladder
And there was nothing there
And now it's a long way down

Cause on and on and on he goes
Dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive
On and on and on he goes
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
And castles made of sand

He sighs and his head is filled with
Cartoons and fairy tales
And he's trapped inside a dungeon of dolls
With smiles on their faces
He's built a pretty cage
His shows on a beautiful stage
With candy coated prison bars
And chains that look like jewelry

[Chorus]

Cause he lives inside
Of fairy tales and castle lands
And there's room inside
For false expectations and illusions


11. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT

How did I end up here
Closer to nowhere
In the middle of nothing and I'm
One step back from where I was
Spinning in circles
Gets old after a while

And you say if I fall I will
Fall straight into your arms
And should I trip over my feet
And if I start to slip I will
Slip right onto my knees
Into the center of your hands

[Chorus:]
Cause maybe
Someday I could learn to trust you
And just stop thinking with my head
Cause maybe
Someday I could learn to let go
I lose control but that's okay with me
I lose control but tell me what is wrong with that

Why do I have to know everything
And why does everything always have to make sense
Why do I always have to have you figured out
Cause I just want to take your hand

And you say if I fall I will
Fall straight into your arms
And I trip over my feet
And if I start to slip I will
Slip right onto my knees
Into the center of your hands

[Chorus]


12. REVOLUTION CRY

When passion takes on a purpose
And searching ones embrace the light
When skeptics find themselves down on their knees
You'll know it's here

When you hear a sound as loud as thunder
And you hear a cry that shakes the ground beneath you
When you hear a shout that shatters the darkness
You'll know it's here

[Chorus:]
When the lost find a name we're believing in
And the fallen get back onto their feet
And the broken start to dream again
And the sound of hope fills these streets
You'll know it's here

Revolution
Can you feel it
Revolution cry
Revolution
Can you hear it
Revolution cry
And I believe it
And I believe it

How long do we have to wait
And how long will we stay silent
When will this weeping generation dance again
Oh God when will
The truth be restored

[Chorus]
