Hazy Morning Glow

hazy morning glow
the world in a violent rush
i’m only aching for the thrill of a touch
and i can't ever seem to get enough
i’m here
you’re there
i’m always waiting for a postcard from somewhere
as the madness in my mind prevails
oh...in the hazy morning glow
oh…that’s when everything’s exposed
it's just the way it is, yeah
bankrupt, broken too
we’re prisoners and we don’t have the slightest clue
as we grow our guns despite the news
i know
do you know?
all this money in our hands is just dope
when did chasing paper become the only goal?
oh...in the hazy morning glow
oh…there’s so many things exposed
it's just the way it is, yeah
my best friend is my phone
it seems i’m just sitting here getting old, old, old
meanwhile, you’re oh so young
it almost seems you'll never be swallowed up by the sun
and i don't ever wanna see that day come
it’s just the way it is, yeah

Loved by You
03:36
|
|||
loved by you
in your heart
in your mind
never with a need to be unkind
in the sun
yeah, in the rain
in a desert somewhere south of sane
i wanna be loved by you, i wanna be loved by you
i wanna be loved by you, just you
while i’m here
before i’m gone
in the last slow hours of the dawn
in the cold
yeah, in the dark
i will build a bonfire for your heart
i wanna be loved by you, i wanna be loved by you
i wanna be loved by you, just you
a love like you read of in books
a love that avoids bitter looks
a love you would never neglect
a love that you’d always protect
a love you would never regret
even if the end left you wrecked
in this life
and for all time
the kind of love that we all hope to find
i wanna be loved by you

Under Attack
02:45
|
|||
under attack
under attack
you’re under attack but the enemy is YOU
there’s a ticker tape of useless thoughts
in all our heads
messages that will not stop
they never rest
relentless, wretched, full of want…are you listening?
under attack
you’re under attack
under attack but the enemy is YOU
there’s a battle playing in your mind
it’s beating you
no soldiers, only word landmines
all plaguing you
the daylight that’s denied is a sign of your misery
misery keeps you company
always feeds you lovingly, lies
‘til you can’t see the good in your trajectory
only so much misery
under attack
you’re under attack
under attack but the enemy is YOU
under attack
we’re all under attack
under attack from the enemy inside

I Don't Know
03:55
|
|||
give me a minute to think
it gives me a moment to doubt
what this is and what it’s about…that’s just me
you seem so sure but i’m not
the look in your eyes says a lot
nothing makes sense to me now that i’m caught
i don’t know
what i feel anymore
should i walk out this door?
i don’t know
under your spell for so long
when sometimes i knew it was wrong
to hold on to you like i did, and now that’s slipped
it’s confusing enough as it is
to consider you crossed off the list
of the best things that life has to give to me
i don’t know
what to be, what to do
if i’m not here with you, i don’t know
i don’t know
what to do, what to say
should i just walk away?
i don’t know
i don’t know…if i could ever choose to leave your side
i don’t know…if you would ever choose to leave my side
i don’t know…if what the future holds is what i want
yeah, that can be a pretty scary thought
that’s how i end up in this web of thoughts
i don’t know
what three words mean to me
when i might wanna leave, i don’t know
what feel, what to do
if i’m not here with you
i don’t know

You Are Beautiful
03:56
|
|||
you are beautiful
when you’re stuck in your head
and you can’t get out of bed
all these thoughts coming in
so negative and then you give in
to the darkness i guess
to the pull of the stress
when you can’t see the light or all the love surrounding you
don’t forget…
you are beautiful
you are beautiful
you are beautiful and perfect in every way
we make what we visualize
come to be, come to life
so whatcha gonna project
your nightmares or your dreams?
you are beautiful
you are beautiful
you are beautiful and perfect in every way
yeah, perfect in every way, in every way

The Sound of Suffering
03:26
|
|||
the sound of suffering
i hear your suffering now
on a trail rising up through the clouds
the wind blows your tears over ten thousand fears
i hear your suffering now
through a veil of defiance you howl
there's a sun shining down on us all except the one who refuses to fall
can you hear, can you hear at all?
can you hear, can you hear love call?
through the sound of your suffering can your hear anything else?
yeah, through the sound of your suffering can you see anyone?
i hear your suffering now
it's relentless and constant somehow
in its grip love can never unfold
it is death to whomever it holds
can you hear, can you hear at all?
can you hear, can you hear love call?
through the sound of your suffering can your hear anything else?
yeah, through the sound of your suffering can you see anyone?
can you hear, can you hear at all?
can you hear, can you hear love call?
through the sound of your suffering can your hear anything else?
yeah, through the sound of your suffering can you hear anyone?

i can’t take another heartbreak
wake up, get dressed
eat quick and run out the door
to panic and rushing
the traffic is crushing us all
i can’t take another heartbreak
i can’t take another heartache
sunlight daydreams
of feeling free and being in love
i love you, you love me
so how come neither one of us is happy?
i can’t take another heartbreak
i can’t take another heartache
you smile like an ice cube
a bad mood is bringing you down
your skin crawls when i touch you
and i feel you draining away
i can’t take another heartbreak
i can’t take another heartache

Invisible Man
03:12
|

invisible man
i’m an invisible man
you don’t notice me, i’m like a potted plant
just an invisible man
got a transparent heart with a predictable slant
i’m the invisible man
losing self-respect just as fast as i can
i’m so invisible yeah
i believe in my ability to be seen by anybody but you
i believe in my ability to be seen by anybody but you
i’m an invisible man
yeah, you see right through my indiscriminate plans
just an invisible man
at your beck and call with the wave of a hand
i’m the invisible man
i’m so invisible yeah
i believe in my ability to be seen by anybody but you
i believe in my ability to be seen by anybody but you
i believe in my ability to be seen by anybody but you…you
i’m the invisible man
just an invisible
i’m so invisible, yeah

Let Go
05:18
|
|||
let go
when everything has gone to hell
and you’ve got nothing left as well
love has let you down again
the push and shove has hemmed you in
fair weather’s here but not your friend
let go, you’ve gotta let go
surrender to the things you can’t control
oh, you’ve gotta let go
it’s all out of your control
when all your dreams are fading fast
and every seam’s split up the back
every step is one too much
and every breath aches for a touch
the rush for love is just a crutch
let go, you’ve gotta let go
surrender to the things you can't control
oh, you’ve gotta let go
it’s all out of your control…all out of your control
in the net we twist and turn
the more we fight the more it burns
the time is right, i wanna learn to let go
oh, i wanna let go
surrender to the things i can't control
it’s all out of my control
all out of your control
all out of our control
