Hello, son, it's begun
we've got a room for you.
Step right up, join the fun
if it's the last thing you do.
Hey you, come try, we're here, you'll fly.
Fun everlasting.
Step right up, join the kin
they'll be so please to see you.
Wondering where you'll fit in?
We've got a room for you.
Hey you, come try, we're here, you'll fly.
Fun everlasting.
Yeah, you, come try, we're here, you'll fly.
Fun everlasting.
We'll bring you down to earth
if it's the last thing we do.
On your life, what's it worth?
We've got a room for you.
Hey you, come try, we're here, you'll fly.
Fun everlasting.
Hey you, come try, you'll win or die.
Fun everlasting.

Chasing Shadows
02:50

Faces cast in shadow again
Waiting, I'm waiting in shadows again.
Weighted, weighted down by the world
weighted, I'm waiting in shadows again.
Don't tell me how to live my life from here on out.
Frightened, trying to make this place a home.
Facing, facing this world on my own.
Don't tell me how to live my life from here on out.
Don't tell me.
Don't tell me how to live my life from here on out.

The Window
02:45

Staring at the window
nothing in the air
Falling into limbo
haven't got a prayer.
Counting water falling
somewhere above the bed
Counting on a calling
hanging overhead.
Everything you wanted, coming through the window
Lying in the dark captured in the pillow.
Feeling worn and tired
night is creeping on
Shadows have conspired
they're now moving on.
Noises at the door now
morning drawing nearer
Don't want to get up and look in the mirror
Everything you wanted, coming through the window
Lying in the dark captured in the pillow
Everything you wanted, coming through the window.
Everything you wanted, coming through the window
Lying in the dark captured in the pillow
Everything you wanted, coming through the window.
Coming through the window.

Tear Them Down
03:01
|
|||
Your wall surrounds me
it's all around me
You built it up so high
I hear you cry.
The walls that let you hide
they've got you trapped inside
You say they keep you free
but not me.
Your cries build them
your lies gild them
But I'm going to tear them down.
You say it's hallow
I'm in the shadow
You say you'll save me
but you enslave me.
The walls that let you hide
they've got you trapped inside
You say they keep you free
but not me.
Your cries build them
your lies gild them
But I'm going to tear them down.
The walls that let you hide
they've got you trapped inside
You say they keep you free
but not me.
Your cries build them
your lies gild them
But I'm going to tear them down.

You want answers
I don't know
want to see how far I'll go
Pushing forward every day
feel my life being sucked away
They want answers
so they know
if I've hit my all-time low
Pushing forward every day
feel my life being sucked away.
They're asking, harassing,
if I'm aware.
Tried bending, tried mending,
And now I just don't care.
You want an answer
want it fast
You think I'm fragile
just like glass
gonna tell me what to do
'cause I'm not perfect like you
You want an answer
want it fast
how about this:
get off my back.
Pushing forward every day
feel my life being sucked away.
They're asking, harassing,
if I'm aware.
Tried bending, tried mending,
And now I just don't care.
You want an answer
want it fast
You think I'm fragile
just like glass
gonna tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to do.
They're asking, harassing,
if I'm aware.
Tried bending, tried mending,
And now I just don't care.
They're asking, harassing,
if I'm aware.
Tried bending, tried mending,
And now I just don't care.
And now I just don't care.
And now I just don't care.

Forgot To Mention
02:43
|

Hey, dear, I'm still here.
Is there something that kept you there?
Maybe you forgot to mention.
You're not mean or unkind
I can see you've got a lot on your mind
Maybe you forgot to mention.
I don't mean to be a pain
but I'm calling you again
and I know you wouldn't want me to be sad.
So, yeah, it's all good
you're the talk of the neighborhood
Maybe you forgot to mention.
I don't care what I hear
about the girl you have over there.
Maybe you forgot to mention.
I don't mean to be a pain
but I'm calling you again
and I know you wouldn't want me to be sad.
Why don't you call me, darling
before I call on you.
I don't mean to be a pain
but you make me go insane
when you leave me hanging on all alone.
So yeah, it's all good
now we're the talk of the neighborhood
Maybe I forgot to mention
Didn't mean to cause you pain
but you made me go insane
now you're only in my brain.
I don't mean to be a pain
but you make me go insane
and I know you wouldn't want me to be sad.
Hey dear, I'm still here.
Hey dear, I'm still here.
Hey dear, I'm still here.
