Static 05:09
Silence fills the morning sky In memories of days gone by Expectations multiply Apprehensions amplified Shadow from September sun The light abandons everyone Careful not to lose control The sun will shine down on your soul Within the absences of sound We push to reach for higher ground Upon the summit we can hear A dissonance that's crystal clear The dream that once was near, it slowly disappears...to Static Silence fills the evening sky In memories of years gone by We've become preoccupied With never feeling satisfied The pain that we all share, it slowly disappears

Run away Shy away From things you couldn't understand Fade away You feel betrayed It didn't turn out the way you planned Castaway Would've passed away It wasn't for that plastic sail Woken by that friendly whale and... Didn't know where to go Didn't know what to know Reaction to the sun, the same for everyone Didn't know what to say I'm feeling alright today Reaction to the sun, the same for everyone Feeling a waterfall I'm tired of it all Reaction to the sun, it's the same for everyone Staying silent Another Sunday afternoon Waiting for the words that never come Feeling violent Another Monday morning Waiting for the words that never come Put away Your vanity You're not as important as you think Gone before the drying ink Every day You fritter away Life is short but not for long It seemed alright but now it's gone and... Thrown away You find a way To wait until it's much too late To say the things you need to say and... On Long Island Looking out onto the Sound Waiting for the words that never come Held together By piece of yellow string Waiting for the words that never come Hold each other Just until the shaking stops Waiting for the words that never come Altogether Like a piece of yellow string Waiting for the words that never come

I only want to say I'm doing alright today The day isn't over yet I'm willing to forget I know it's been a while Since I felt the urge to smile Daddy don't want to play And Mommy don't want to stay Falling onto the ground I'm flailing around and round I'm trying to hurt myself 'Till the empty goes away And now that we got a gun We're going to have some fun Get yourself to the car We're going to be a star I only want to say I'm feelin' alright today And counting out the days 'Till the empty goes away We're headed for the door Just like you did before You had to run away Now look what you've done to me Waiting for you to come back Time for you to come back Time to go home Waiting for you
4.
Till now I've waited for you Been waiting for your time Been waiting for your courage Just waiting time around Tonight I see your image Your wide eyed silhouette The faces in the water The face I won't forget Tonight I feel your spirit It hangs onto my soul For now my soul And I've waited for ya time and time again More than anyone can share This precious moment Oh, it doesn't happen here And now I see the ending It shares it plain as day For love is never ending For now I can't explain You know I can't avoid it To know I'd lay you down To know I've fallen under To know it fades away Till now I'm waiting for you You know I'd wait again To wait again And I'm waiting for ya time and time again But the ending's still the same That magic moment Oh, it doesn't happen here

Drowning 07:13
in the faces of the fallen in the coldness of the day in the silence of the morning in the waiting of the way awake in the morning time waiting for someone to come and bear the weight of what you said last evening crushing down on me waiting for the time to say it waiting for the key that fits the lock that holds this empty room closed the prisoner is me falling into water, I can't breathe the water retreats and if there comes a day when mountains fall into the sea there was time to choose your battles, save your honor in spite of me the moon controls the undertow the water covers me the tide moves in, the weight of water crushing down on me falling into water, I can't breathe the water retreats drowning, deeper water become one, the water and me in the time it takes the brain to stop breathing I could have said I was wrong in the time it takes the heart to stop beating I could have reached for your hand in the faces of the fallen in the coldness of the day in the silence of the morning in the waiting of the way falling into water, I can't breathe the water retreats drowning, deeper water become one, the water and me

It can fill the morning sky It can sing a lullaby It can make you laugh or cry It could be a huge mistake It can whisper you awake It can fill your heart with ache It can take away the pain It can smell like cheap champagne It can be your ball and chain We could circumnavigate And rise above the hate To reach a higher state All we need to do is try And ask each other, why? We've been Absent for so long We forget where we belong But we can come back strong We can fill the evening sky And the angels sing on high As our voice is multiplied All we need to do is try And ask each other, why? We'll be forced to rise above And fill the world with love The dream that once was distant reappears and has something to say
