1. LOOKING GLASS

Waiting as I'm wanting to.
Speaking as I'm spoken to.
Changing to your point of view.
Fading as I follow you.

A boyish notion of false emotion.
These words are spoken despite my love.
A fool's devotion was set in motion.
My eyes are open now.

It's a glass cage so I can't pretend.
You hide beneath the physical.
I see it coming.
But I can't defend.
You cut so deep,
My belief is gone.
My belief is gone.
My belief is...

Tell me what I want to say.
Save me for another day.
Break me, it's the game you play.
Hate me as I turn away.

A boyish notion of false emotion.
These words are spoken despite my love.
A fool's devotion was set in motion.
My eyes are open now.

It's a glass cage so I can't pretend.
You hide beneath the physical.
I see it coming.
But I can't defend.
You cut so deep,
My belief is gone.
My belief is gone.
My belief is gone.
My belief is gone.
My belief is...

It's a glass cage so I can't pretend.
You hide beneath the physical.
I see it coming.
But I can't defend.
You cut so deep,
My belief is gone.
My belief is gone.
My belief is gone.
My belief is gone.
My belief is...


2. FALLING DOWN

Farewell,
This blackened eye.
Your learned your lessons falling down.
Far behind, and tracing footsteps home.

Despite your lack of pride.
You wore your imperfections well.
Dignified.
Spend your time alone.
Trace your footsteps home.

Your hands are always reaching out of favor.
Your kind are only good for bad behavior.
Your mouth was never one to trust.
You're always speaking out,
Falling far behind,
Falling out of line.

Farewell,
This bitter tongue.
You spoke your lessons falling down, talking out,
And breaking silence.

Despite the harm you've done,
You swallowed your rejection well.
Amplified.
Sing your song alone.
Trace your footsteps home.

Your hands are always reaching out of favor.
Your kind are only good for bad behavior.
Your mouth was never one to trust.
You're always speaking out,
Falling far behind,
Falling...

Your hands are always reaching out of favor.
Your kind are only good for bad behavior.
Your mouth was never one to trust.
You're always speaking out,
Falling far behind,
Falling out of line.


3. SHIVER

A Painting for every face
No correction, just cover up
She can't afford to come off
hard cause she's too cold to shiver
Too cold to shiver
Too cold to shiver in this cold
She's too cold to shiver

All the hands along the wall
Taking time to break her fall
Minds divide the heart in two
Empty as the shadows walking over you
Over you
She's walking over you
Breaking the fall over you

(Always Wanting)
(Watching) Minds divide the heart in two (For you)


(Always Watching)
(Waiting) Shadow walking over you (For you)

Picture for every place
No affection, just shut her up
She can't afford to make it
hard cause she's too cold to shiver
Too cold to shiver
Too cold to shiver in this cold
She's too cold to shiver

All the eyes behind the wall
Taking time to watch her crawl
Broken hearts are never true
Empty as the shadows walking over you
Over you
She's walking over you
Watching her crawl over you

(Always Wanting)
Broken hearts are never true (Waiting)
(For you)

(Always Wanting)
Shadows walking over you (Waiting)
(For you)

(Always Wanting)
Broken hearts are never true (Watching)
(For you)

(Always Wanting)
Shadows walking over you (Waiting)
(For you)


4. RED STARS

Best off cruel intentions
Finding what they fail to mention
No truth.
All pretention raise your hand to give attention

You'd give it
We'd take it
You'd build it
We'd break it
You silently erase it
You'd feel it
We'd fake it

It's my red star (steal it)
It's my red star (can't let go)
It's my red star (conceal it)
It's my red star
Oh no...

Wasted education
Celebrating imitation
Misplaced admiration
Speaking for a generation.

You'd give it
We'd take it
You'd build it
We'd break it
You silently erase it
You'd feel it
We fake it

It's my red star (steal it)
It's my red star (can't let go)
It's my red star (conceal it)
It's my red star
Oh no...


5. NOWHERE

(Instrumental)


6. RED STARS

Best off cruel intentions

All pretention raise your hand to give attention

You'd give it
We'd take it
You'd build it
We'd break it
You silently erase it
You'd feel it
We'd fake it

It's my red star (steal it)
It's my red star (can't let go)
It's my red star (conceal it)
It's my red star
Oh no...

Wasted education
Celebrating imitation
Misplaced admiration

7. WEEK-END

Lights out
Boys sleepwalking on the weekend.
Black out
Two nights killing off a best friend

Fall out like soldiers walking off to the deep end
Hands out
Don't stop marching til the hearts rend

The time goes by
And sets the stage
They play their parts
And act their age
They never forget the lines that they say

Speaking slowly

I promise you one day
I promise you always
We'll make it out one day
I promise you always

Nights out
Girls keep on walking on the east end
White out
Two lights shining on a dead end

Drawn out
Like circles trailing off the pavement
Stand out
Don't stop marching til the hearts mend


8. I THINK WE'RE ALONE NOW

Children behave
That's what they say when we're together
And watch how you play
They don't understand and so we're

Runnin' just as fast as we can
Holdin' on to one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Look at the way
We gotta hide what we're doing
What would they say
they don't understand and so we're

Runnin' just as fast as we can
Holdin' on to one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say

I think we're alone now (alone now)
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now (alone now)
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now (alone now)
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now (alone now)
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now
I think we're alone now

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
