Finally Unsure
Our day will come when we see the night’s not a terrible thing
Just like a noisy street letting all the sounds keep us company
Yea im finally unsure, finding my way
Yea im finally unsure, finding my way
(Back from heaven)
From our younger days, leaving like a ship, like a ship, gone sailing
It's a slow slow change, turning like a ship, like a ship, gone sailing
Yea im finally unsure finding my way back home
A shimmer in the haze
Finding any way
I’m doing fine
Sometimes all i want is a big driveway
You can send me yours but it's hard to pick up on a weekday
Yea im finally unsure finding my way back home
A million other ways
finding a way back
It is no surprise
When i look into your eyes
You’re still there, am i?
There is no key and I’m locked outside again
Yea im finally unsure finding my way back home
Yea im finally unsure finding my way back home
Yea im finally unsure finding my way back home
Will you still be there?
Will you still be?
Will you still?
Yea, will ya?

Cracks Like a Window
Her face is a coin flipping forever in the air
Trapped among the statues’ unblinking stare
When she calls out her own name
The reply’s not the same
She breaks like a window, escaping from the frame
A bridge must begin somewhere, a stable place
But the mask of a mother, it drips right off her face
When she shouts out her god’s name, radio static reply
She opens like a window, and they say she lies
But her mind keeps chattering like a stranger
Banging his head against the glass on the underground train
But the thing that scares her the most isn’t how they’re different
It’s how easy it would be to end up the same
She just won’t think about it again
It’d be nice to have a secret among a chosen few
Yea, an inside joke to whisper between the pews
Yea but once you leave the village, oh, the script turns to sand
She’d smash it like a window, but she still needs friends
She’d smash it like a window, yea she’s my best friend

The Danger of Belief
There is a knowing more than knowing and when you feel you’re at the end there is no ledge
If you keep swimming in the deep end oh you can’t both tread water and reach out for a friend
But crutch as such isn’t worth as much as a match when my feet are dangling over the flames
Of illuminated streetlight
Oh a puddle of night, city that bites, and has your name
There some like me who really believe in magic
There are some like me who have seen the unseen
Oh yea, that’s the pleasure of belief
Oh yea i want to believe, I really want to believe but I saw that dead dove hidden in your sleeve
But if i kill the bird to find the melody
Is it the tune in the trees, tune in the trees or inside of me
Oh yea i never thought i'd even be here
Oh yea, not even really sure i am
Oh yea, that’s the danger of belief

Same To Me

Same To Me
How could you ever be the same to me
How could i ever see you as complete
Memory
Where form and formless meet
hovering over the sea
How could you ever be the same to me
When i hate how much you do for me
I’m barely me
a spilling bag of leaves
From our family tree
The life we sketched blurry and unfinished
Oh is best undressed
just one version of a mess
Now that we’ve spent our years so faithfully
Dreaming up a hopeful fantasy
Say to me
You probably have the key
Just share with me
The face you hold will fade into the shape of a ghost
That will haunt this host
It’s okay I suppose
How could you ever be the same to me
How could I ever see you as complete
How could you ever be the same

Find Me Every Morning
Find me every morning
Waiting for the dawn
Looking over my shoulder
It’s already gone
Oh when did it end
How could it end
How can anything end?
All the shipwrecks in the fountain
All the dead leaves on the mountain
When you reach the end of counting
And the edge is blurring out and moving around
Find me every morning
Dimmed by the light
Oh I’m sleepwalking through vapor
A lazy tourist of my mind
All the shipwrecks in the fountain
All the dead leaves on the mountain
Yea when you reach the end of counting
And the edge is blurring out and moving around
When did one begin
And the other end
Oh how can anything be anything?
[chorus]
Find me every morning
Waiting for the dawn

Play by the Rules
You try to return
To an imagined past
Traveling through time is easy
If you don't go back
A faded page
Fits tightly on your face
But when the mirror’s raised its a tragic charade
Oh my friend, why are you blinded by the sun?
Just keep on walking, pay no attention, a man without a country is a man without rules
This land of ours
Is like an autumn day
Too warm in the light, too cold in the shade
To be here now
Among the ruined remains
It’s a layered love, too heavy to maintain
Oh my friend, why are you blinded by the sun?
Just keep on walking, pay no attention, a man without a country is a man without rules
You try to return
To an imagined place
Traveling through time is easy if you stare into space

Don’t Belong to Feelings
Lost in a house of mirrors
Chased by a familiar face
You wave at your reflection
Its moves, then walks right past
You stew, in shattered glass
You don't belong to feelings
Couldn't even if you wanted to
They're smoke and not fire
Break through with a sightless rage
The fumes form hostile shapes
Why
A restless mind
Welcomes a wild child
To rob you blind
Oh my
No, you don't belong to feelings
Crack open the facade
But you’re pushing at the barrier
Break through with a broken jaw
Yea you do, you done you wrong
Why
A restless mind
Welcomes a wild child
To rob you blind
Oh my
Time, After time
You don't know how to live
Not sure you don't wanna die
Why
A restless mind
Welcomes a wild child
To rob you blind

Honey With Tea
Don’t take my honey with tea
I’m drunk off all this cheap energy
If you’re good at patience, you’re good at suffering
Who am I? I’ll drive us straight into a tea
I don’t want to heed the lines anymore
Don’t give me what I need, give me what I don’t need
Don’t give me what I need, give me what I don’t need
Don’t give me what I need, give me what I don’t need
But who divides between the two?
You know I find it hard to belief
It seems like a trick of electricity
If I’m staring at the light, oh I’m staring at the light of a tv
But i’ll call any number at the bottom
I only watch the ads anymore
Don’t give me what I need, give me what I don’t need
Don’t give me what I need, give me what I don’t need
Don’t give me what I need, give me what I don’t need
But who divides between the two?
Don’t give me what I need, give me what I don’t need

Everything Revolves Around Something
It’s hard to hold a hand when you know that hand is open
Like bringing water to the mouth with bare hands
A voice that echoes out while the source is still dissolving
Yes, everything revolves around something
How good it is, just to be here at all
A dark and lonely place, waiting for the call
If you need something, anything at all
Just walk across the room and place your ear against the wall
You enter through the door, but the door is keeps on spinning
Like petting a cloud of smoke in your palm
You lean into the light but like a moth i hear you sizzling
Yes, everything resolves around nothing
How good it felt to know anything at all
A bright and shiny place, waiting for a fall
I think i really need something, man, anything at all
So i'll walk across the room and pound my fists against the wall
Oh, i'll walk across the room and punch my fists into the wall
[solo]
You say you need a thing, but that thing it can’t be someone
