1. HANGING BY A MOMENT

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hangin by a moment here with you

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me now

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving in to
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That could change my mind
There is nothing else...


2. SICK CYCLE CAROUSEL

If shame had a face I think it would kinda look like mine
If it had a home would it be my eyes?
Would you believe me if I said I'm tired of this?
Well here we go now one more time

I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground.
I tried to earn my way
I tried to change this mind
You better believe that I had tried to beat this

So where will this end
It goes on and on
Over and over and over again
Keep spinning around
I know that it won't stop
Til' I step down from this for good

I never thought I'd end up here
Never thought I'd be standing where I am
I guess I kinda thought that it would be easier than this
I guess I was wrong now one more time


3. UNKNOWN

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

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

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


4. SOMEBODY ELSE'S SONG

Can't change this feeling
I'm way out of touch
Can't change this meaning
It means too much
Never been this lonely
Never felt so good
Can't be the only one misunderstood

I remind myself of somebody else
I'm feeling like I'm chasing
Like I'm facing myself alone
I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head
I want some of my own

Can you see me up here
Would you bring me back down
Cause I've been living to see my fears
As they fall to the ground

I remind myself of somebody else
I'm feeling like I'm chasing
Like I'm facing myself alone
I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head
I want some of my own

Am I hiding behind my doubts
Are they hiding behind me
Closer to finding out
It doesn't mean anything


5. TRIYNG

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


6. ONLY ONE

She's got a pretty smile
It covers up the poison that she hides
She walks around in circles in my head
Waiting for a chance to break me chance to take me down
Now I see the burden you gave me
Is too much to carry too much to bury inside

I guess you're the only one that nobody changes
I guess you're the only one left standing
When everything else goes down
You're still the only one
Yeah you're still the only one

It's all shallow and all so appealing now
I'm up to my ankles and I'm drowning anyway
In a sea of sarcastic faces familiar places
Everything looks quite the same here
It's all confusingly amusing
Bitter and tainted the picture you painted to me

I guess you're the only one that nobody changes
I guess you're the only one left standing
When everything else goes down
You're still the only one who will never change faces
I guess you're the only one left standing
When everything else goes down

Just 'cause it's all in your head
Doesn't mean it has to be in mine
Don't believe what you said
Still can't get it out of my mind

I've tried to find myself in approval
I've already been there already done that
It got me nowhere it brought me nothing
But a good place to hide in no one to confide in now

I guess you're the only one that nobody changes
I guess you're the only one that will never change faces
I guess you're the only one


7. SIMON

Catch your breath hit the wall
Scream out loud as you start to crawl
Back in your cage the only place
Where they will leave you alone

Cause the weak will seek the weaker
Til' they've broken them
Could you get it back again
Would it be the same

Fulfillment to their lack of strength
At your expense
Left you with no defense
They tore it down

And I have felt the same as you
I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same

Locked inside the only place
Where you feel sheltered where you feel safe
You lost yourself in your search
To find something else to hide behind

The fearful always preyed upon your confidence
Did they see the consequence they pushed you around
The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones
Breaking them til' they've become just another crown

And I have felt the same as you
I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same

Refuse to feel, anything at all
Refuse to slip, refuse to fall
Can't be weak, can't stand still
You watch your back cause no one will

You don't know why they had to go this far
Traded your worth for these scars for your only company
Don't believe the lies that they have told to you
Not one word was true

You're alright
You're alright
You're alright

And I have felt the same as you
I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same


8. 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

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

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

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

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

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
All this cling and clatter


9. 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


10. QUASIMODO

You could be right
And I'll be real
Honesty won't be a pain
That you will have to feel

Cause I don't need your approval to find my worth
I've been trapped inside of my own mind
Afraid to open my eyes cause of what I'd find
And I don't want to live like this anymore

There goes my pain
There goes my chains
Did you see them falling
Cause this feeling
That has no meaning

There goes the world
Off of my shoulders
There goes the world
Off of my back
There it goes

Does it scare you that I can be something different than you
Would it make you feel more comfortable if I wasn't
You can't control me
And you can't take away from me who I am

There goes my pain
There goes my chains
Did you see them falling
Cause this feeling
That has no meaning

There goes the world
Off of my shoulders
There goes the world
Off of my back

You can't change me
You can't break me

There goes the world
Off of my shoulders
There goes the world
Off of my back

Have you ever felt
Like your only comfort was your cage
You're not alone
I have felt the same as you
Have you ever felt
Like your secrets give you away
You're not alone
I have been there, too

Everyone is looking
And everyone is laughing
But I think everyone feels the same
Everybody wants to feel okay
Everybody wants to
Everybody wants to feel

There goes my pain
There goes my chains
Did you see them falling
Cause this feeling
That has no meaning

There goes the world
Off of my shoulders
There goes the world
Off of my back

Cause I don't want it
I don't want it


11. 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


12. EVERYTHING

Find me here
Speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you

You are the light
That's leading me
To the place
Where I find peace again

You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting

You are the life
To my soul
You are my purpose
You are everything

And how can I
Stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

You calm the storms
You give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall

You still my heart
And you take my breath away
Would you take me in
Would you take me deeper now

And how can I
Stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

And how can I
Stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

Cause you're all I want
You are all I need
You are everything
Everything

You are all I want
You are all I need
You are everything
Everything

You are all I want
You are all I need
You are everything
Everything

You are all I want
You are all I need
You are everything
Everything

And how can I
Stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

And how can I
Stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better
Any better than this

Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this


13. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT

[Bonus track UK version]

How did I end up here?
Closer to nowhere and in the middle of nothing
And I am one step back from where I was
Spinning in circles gets old after a while

You say if I fall I will fall straight into your arms
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

Cause maybe someday I can learn to trust you
Just stop thinking with my head
Cause maybe someday I can learn to let go
I lose control and that's okay with me
I lose control and 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 wanna take your hand

You say if I fall I will fall straight into your arms
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
Cause maybe someday I can learn to trust you
Just stop thinking with my head
Cause maybe someday I can learn to let go
I lose control and that's okay with me
I lose control and tell me what is wrong with that?

What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with that?

Maybe someday I can learn to trust you
Just stop thinking with my head
Cause maybe someday I can learn to let go
I lose control and that's okay with me
I lose control and tell me what is wrong with that?

What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with that?


14. FOOL

[Bonus track UK version]

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

Cause I am reaching for you
But my arms aren't long enough
And I am running to you
If I could go a little faster

And I am crying to you
But I can't cue my own voice
I am waiting for you
And trying not to fall asleep now

And 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

Cause I am reaching for you
But my arms aren't long enough
And I am running to you
If I could go a little faster

And I am crying to you
But I can't cue my own voice
And I am waiting for you
Trying not to fall asleep now

And 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

And 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
