Give it all
02:51
|

Why do they happen to notice all that I hide away?
Why do they follow the oldest things I forgot we said?
Having this around today, wait until they say
Why do they always admit it before I know what changed?
Why do they follow the oldest things that I never said?
Go away, come and stay
Oh I want to tell you they
Give it all
How do they ever expect it before it starts at all
How do they ever connect it before it starts to fall
Broken parts I never saw, wait until they break
You always give it all
You always call, "give it all"
How are always enticing without a word to sell?
How do they always convince me before I even tell?
There I go and there I stay
Oh I want to break
You always give it all
You always call, "give it all"

In the sun
04:26
|

I'm only dreaming, I only dream of one
I'm only thinking, I'm only waking up
I'm only seeing, these other faces run
Entire scenes, will come to me at once
In the sun, in the sun
You're running out in front
I'm only thinking, I only think of one
I'm only dreaming, I dream of looking up
I want to see it, I want to see you there
Just to find you, just to show I care
In the sun, in the sun
I'm running out in front
I won't fall off the runs
Keep hold, it feels so warm
I'm not the only one
Living in the sun
Are you forgetting, are you forgetting us?
You're only waking, you're only waking up
And are you seeing? You're only seeing sun
These other faces, will come to you at once
In the sun, in the sun
We're running out in front

Floating like a ghost
03:26
|
|||
I went to sleep and took off later, now I'm getting there fast
I know to keep the flashlight faded, see how long it can last
And I'm floating in a juvenile imagination
I'm on my feet and stepping faster, I'll be getting there soon
I can see a few feet after, from the glow of the moon
And I'm wandering in a dark, cold imagination
I'm floating like a ghost, to all my destinations
I'm still real I know, but I feel a revelation
It's a long, long road, so I'll float, like a ghost. a ghost
I'm going to a favorite hideout, cause I've been there before
Not coming out until it's light out, you can knock on the door
And I'm floating in a juvenile imagination

The one you seek
03:56
|
|||
Lock us in a quiet castle, the rest are running free
Throw us in a riot battle, the rest are coming clean
I could believe it, if they would say to me
I could believe it, if you would say
Find us over painted fields, the green is blinding
Trace it through a padded shield the rest are finding
I could see it, if they would say to me
I could believe it, if you would say
Don't forget of me, if I'm the one you seek
Don't forget of these, to find the ones you seek
Hear us in the echo chambers, we're all around to see
Help us in the way you know of, better than nothing
You could believe it, when we all say it clear
You could believe it, when we all say

Box of horrors
04:55
|
|||
Laying on the seats, there's a little box of horrors there
Everybody knows they're not mine
Someone must have left them there one time
Is it just a joke? Probably not because no one knows
How much I respect others' space
How much I regret this lack of face
Everybody knows how to feel your touch
No one really knows that I miss you so much
Keep it in the dark, and keep it close
Do you know what I don't?
Wonder if you saw, do you see me as a rabid dog?
I can only hope you'd assume, that a needle pokes and cures a dirty wound
I could not forget, what a candid you would say
Something about water and its smell
Not even a dog can sniff that well
Laying on the seats, there's a little box of horrors there
Is it just a scheme? Probably not because no one cares
Everybody knows it
Everybody knows
Everybody knows it
Everybody knows

Midnight Slave
04:23
|

Midnight Slave, I see you
But lack the means, to free you
So I'm no good for you
Tell me that you hear me
And feel compelled, believe me
Oh I see, you're in need
Call you in the dark, always on the mark
Oohwah Oohwah Midnight Slave
Tell me tell me what you want to
Want to say, oh Midnight Slave
I'll know your name forever
In the streets, you're hiding
Between the glow, exciting
But I'm not blind enough to see
Now that you can hear me
And feel compelled, believe me
Oh I see, you're in need
Call you in the dark, always on the mark
Call you by your name, always hope to say

No one can know, but I just heard a secret
Standing alone, with no one else in view
I swore I won't, I know I should just keep it
But it's getting old, and now I'm breaking through
Somebody is after my favorite clocks
Waiting til they're faster to follow through
Somebody is chasing my only thoughts
And they are all of telling you
No one can know, but I just saw a treasure
Waiting alone, where no one ever knew
I swore I won't, I know I should just keep it
But it's getting old so I'm giving it to you
Somebody is after my favorite doors
Waiting til they're faster to follow through
Somebody is chasing my only thoughts
And they are all of telling you
Welcome to the land of Oz
No one can see, but I just saw a country
Waiting alone, with nothing else in view
I swore I wont, I shouldn't be going
But it's getting old and I'm going there with you
No one would know it, but I just learned a secret through
I swore I wouldn't, but now I'm telling you
Now they're running after, and breaking through
Now I hear their laughter
Hear me when I'm telling you
Welcome to the land of Oz

Swim
03:47
|

There's a river, and I'm going to get in
going to walk on the water, going to learn how to swim
And I'm always close to where it begins
when I learn how to swim
There's a girl on the riverbank sand
Going to tell her I love her, going to show who I am
And I'm always close to where it will end
when I feel it again
Do you know how to stay afloat
When the others roll over, when they're under again
Do you know how to stay
when the others have fin
when they learn how to swim
There's a quiet when the river is dead
Going to sleep on the water, going to lay down my head
And I'm always, close to thinking it ends
when I feel it again
Do you know how to stay afloat?
Do you know where the others go?
Do you know what they'll say
when they learn how to swim?
There's a river, and I'm going to get in

In space
04:49
|

Now we're going to lift off, but we'll come back to get you
And we'll go everywhere that you want to
Now we're going to float off, but I'll come back to tell you
and you'll know everything that we went through
All you have to do is say
All you have to know is traced
Now we're going to fall off, but I could not forget you
and when I'm spinning out I'll think of you
Now we're going to unlock, but you'll come back to show me
and I'll know everything that you feel too
All you have to do is say
All you have to know is
When you're out a ways
When you're off in space
I'll be keeping trace
When they finally say we're here
Now I'm going to jump off, but I will keep a tether
And I will see closer what I want to
No you're going to whisper, and I will hear it over
All of the endless distance that I feel too
When you're out a ways
When you're off in space
I'll be keeping trace
When they finally say
When you're on your way
When you're off again
I'll be keeping trace
When they finally say we're here

Torment
03:44
|

I'm so tormented, I could follow where I shouldn't
and where I'm following, I won't care if I'm alright
It's all my own fault, I could swear on all I wouldn't
and all I wouldn't do, is too late to rewind
Now I'll start to think, and my mind is racing,
cause I always always dream
I'm so excited when the phone I call is ringing
Three and four and five, and I'll never find out why
Sometimes it might seem that I'll play it cool and clean
But I am such a fool, and it's worse when I'm near you
Now I'll start to dream, and my mind is clambering
cause I always always see
Feel your torment
This is such a dread
Made up ornaments run around inside my head
Try to understand when I say more than I mean
I can be a queen with a flair for theater scenes
But I still say the same, I know you must relate
I'll be on the cross, waiting til you send me off

Dry your eyes
03:28
|
|||
I never thought, I'd be the one to say
that it's getting cold, and I want to run away
I never thought, I'd be the kind to cave
But now I'm alone, and slipping at face
I've gotta catch the hand that's fading, before it gets away
Run into the one that's waiting, to look at me and say
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Dry your eyes and look again
I never thought, I'd be the one to hate
But now all my love seems to evaporate
I've gotta get, get up, get up and then find the way
that nobody put there, so I could be the one to trace
I've gotta catch the tears I'm trailing, before they get away
Run into the one that's waiting, to look at me and say
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Dry your eyes and look again
It's getting dark, but here I'm playing away
I've got a heart, that makes you laugh and say
"No one's home, and no one's going away"
I never thought I'd be the one to say
that I'm giving up, I want to run away
I never thought I'd be the one to cave
But now I'm alone, and trying to say
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes, dry your eyes, dry your eyes

Now I'm in your house and I can't get out
so I'm waiting, staring at the window
Now I'm looking 'round at your guests sitting down
but they only talk among themselves
Knock on the door, but who's it for?
Knock on the door, I'll make sure
Now I hear the same words I heard them before
but I can't think how to respond
Smile and a nod as I wander off to the quiet places I belong
Knock on the door, oh who's it for?
Knock on the door, they're more and more
I can find the hidden way you left behind
And I will follow in this house that won't let me go
Now I'm peeking in empty rooms that begin
to fill with my imagination
Now I'll pull apart these old windows that start
to open what I've never seen
Open the door, oh who's it for?
Open the door, for more and more
Stepping alone into the garden
I wonder where it wants me to go
How I'd like to know
Make way across these paths in darkness
I wonder how they all know where I want
as they trail off
Knock on the door, oh who's it for?
Hear it below, I can't ignore
Knock on the door, more visitors
Knock on the door, once more
