Hands behind my back I'll let you wind up,
cut down everything I know.
Anger speaks a language of its own.
You wish you could speak,
you broke a vow, I told you things would be all right
Believe with me and I'll believe in you.
(You) walked with you that night,
and told me everything that you have ever feared
I replied "I never thought you cared."
All these words I've spoken proves you
never heard a single word I said.
I know now you never trusted me.
I'm sorry. It's over. I'm perfect in your mind.
I'm sorry. It's over. I'm (only) perfect in your mind.
Hold me up for your sake and
I promise you that I will let you down.
Consequenses scarred this beating heart.
Forced beneath the ground
I laid inside your arms, never break my heart again.
"Expectations" on the radio.
Do I have to let you go, I sang as
I could barely see your face.
but you wonder how you can be loved.
I don't know if i can get it perfect,
but I'll choose to be alone,
promises I spoke to you that day.
I'm sorry. It's over. I'm perfect in your mind.
I'm sorry. It's over. I'm (only) perfect in your mind.
Don't you know that everybody wants to be saved.
(why would I be any different)
Make me make a promise.
Your love, you'd never let me keep it.

Fight you way against these words and picture me afraid of fate.
You'd drop at what I'd have to say,
and I'd drop if you agreed.
Everyday I'm crushed like my...(crush)
Fight your way upstairs,
where you can finally get some rest,
today you are crushed by your...(crutch)
So can I waste your time with words of inspiration,
I've fallen short.
Start to look at all in luxury and not necessity cause...
Here are all the colors you could never imagine.
And all the things you took for granted,
can be found here,
(where you'd least expect it.)
One last song to end the night,
finding last resorts to keep you here.
Find your wish but leave the mark,
and I swear to you you'll feel no pain.
Subdue temptation for priviledge,
it's a whisper in my ear.
I'm so...(tired)
A smile to bring fear to your words,
in a time when you lay fast awake,
understanding in my ways.
Forfit silloettes and watch the sun embrace the sky.
Goodmornings engage these goodbyes...

Tell me, all your thinking...knowing I see the mask and all the wounds.
Help me, to see clearly. There's nothing on your mind that I can't grasp.
All my life is old...I'm getting through.
I tried to explain, dear...the fallacy of this life may be your fears.
Truth is, I'll hold your sin...knowing that it's the way that you'll see love.
All my life is old...I'm getting through.
I knew you when you cried a memory of the life that you believed.
Daughter, there's so much that I wish I coulda said...another time.

I wanted forgiveness, but found an excuse instead.
I was left waiting.
I'm finding it hard to sleep without this shape. it's weighing on me.
I slam into the wall.
Running after you.
Chasing Butterflies.
If you would have told me this isn't who I am; I would have listened
I'm still finding it hard to live without this shame. it's weighing on me
I slam into the wall.
Running after you.
Chasing butterflies...
Chasing butterflies...
Chasing butterflies...

You're forgetting a conversation with yourself,
Stop speaking and listen for a time or two.
There's a night of a clear conscience on your side,
Ever wonder why you have a choice to choose.
When kingdoms keep you up at night,
and always make you miss the daylight.
Stare the ceiling down with words of no regard,
anger speaks a language of its own.
Manage to speak decide what's on your mind,
every look you share reveals a world to me.
You seem to remember things that can't be changed,
simple timing proves I'll wait till all is dealt.
When kingdoms keep you up at night,
and always make you miss the daylight.
Stare the ceiling down with words of no regard,
when anger speaks a language of its own.
It's all for you...I'll waste my time tonight.
You call it infection, I call it a will to change.
Your heart stops when all the time you've had the cure.
Did my presence make it alright for your words,
Damage done. I'll close my eyes and sleep in peace.

It's been a while, we've cleared it out,
and I'm finding this surreal. It's just what I may need.
I'll shut my mouth if you dare a smile
I see the world in you, searching for the truth.
Don't turn your chair or find another,
I'm turning this around from what you thought of me.
Don't go nightowl. One more drink and I'll walk you home.
Sing the song, I've heard it before.
This muse is wearing thin and I'm holding out the key.
And smash the wall your selling to me.
Doesn't matter anyway, I'll find the missing piece.
Don't shut me out, this nights not over.
I'd miss the chance we had. What if I'm right and you're wrong.
Don't go nightowl. One more drink and I'll walk you home.
I guess it's true what they say,
finding one excuse to the next
Maybe it's overdone,
Maybe you've heard this all before,
But I'll try to get through to you, tonight, somehow...
and maybe the sky is brighter at night.
Orion seems to haunt me tonight.
Don't go nightowl. One more drink and I'll walk you home.
I guess it's true what they say,
I guess this was over before it began.

One More Song (Acoustic)

All the songs and all the hope was written down long before I 'knew' you.
Figuring out just where to go. It's anywhere, but sad to say without you.
Doesn't that make you a liar?
I can't be all that you need.
Goodbye she said as she walked out the door.
I can't be all this for you.
Goodbye she said as her heart hit the floor.
I forgot all that I knew and who I was. I've paid the price for my pride.
Turned it around to see whats left, I looked for your hand.
I drowned but fought hard for you.
Doesn't that make you a liar?
I can't be all that you need.
Goodbye she said as she walked out the door.
I can't be all this for you.
Goodbye she said as her heart hit the floor.
One last night
One more drink
One last kiss
One more song
Maybe I got what I deserved, I'll live with that too.
I thought that made me stronger.
Doesn't that make you a liar?
I can't be all that you need.
Goodbye she said as she walked out the door.
I can't be all this for you
Goodbyw she said as my heart hit the floor.

Teras (2009) (Acoustic)

You ask and expect but I'm too shocked to answer
(How do I say this? Aim your questions at my heart)
I wait for interruption but am clouded by silence
(I'll trust you while you're in there, though I shake I'll try to keep still)
You set up an allusion, but it went over my head
(My tongue is not to be trusted, it has failed me more than once)
Fall asleep confused you know the friction keeps me up
(Words for you I kept, the friction keeps me up)
Time and temperatures they rise like mercury,
watch me stay cool.
Carry all their burdens with you let it go...
I've been there too.
So watch me go back cause you can't ignore the things you said.
You inspire me to show you all the things that you are.
We'll I can start anywhere, just ask and I'll begin to speak
But I get scared and I get choked and I have doubts that no one knows,
This isn't flesh that has me on these ropes and,
Sometimes it's me that makes it hard,
I hesitate, I fall apart, I'll trust you soul to other hands.
Watch the world burn down in your eyes,
Do you see what's happening?
Don't talk now and listen closely,
Radio's playing your song.
Fathom sparks of conversation,
(These) questions of opinions.
Find the piece and put it in,
the picture's almost complete.
Pride and tendencies they fall like mercury,
Watch me rise up.
Carry your whole world on your back let it go...
We'll make it through.
So watch this fall apart, I can't recall a thing I said.
I'll still call on you to show me all the things that I'm not.
You can start anywhere and here's where you'll begin to speak...
And it's still me here through the smoke,
Yes, your old friend, your frayed thrown rope.
My ship to rescue you, with bow blown open,
and sinking fast, doubt asks for hands, tossed like the waves.
Seen through the glass...until we know like we are known.

I pray these words of hope they reach you well,
I hope they grab you and never let go.
The imagination wanders for years and through screams,
Picture me still afraid of fate.
Get ready for the song I never wrote but promised to.
Get ready for the words I should spoke everyday.
I'm sorry for your pain, ------- ---.
I could take it all away if you'd just decide.
I'll take my time, I know it's all for you.
Please find that one thing and never let go.
You're world it waits, in my arms, we were dancing in my dreams.
Please don't make them just exist there.
Get ready for the song I never wrote but promised to.
Get ready for the words to take away all your pain,
Like you'll never be alone, I'll be here forever,
I'll hold out my last hand as I take my last breath.
A missed laugh and a smile, they'd make you whole.
You know they've grabbed me and never let go.
The heart of a saint, lives within you a grows with love.
Picture yourself afraid of who you are.
Get ready for the song I never wrote but promised to.
Get ready for the words I should have spoke everyday,
Like I'm sorry for your pain, ------- ---.
I could take it all away if you'd just decide.
Get ready for the song I never wrote but promised to.
Get ready for the words to take away all your pain,
Like you'll see yourself standing tall, with me by your side.
I'll hold out my last hand as I take my last breath...my last breath...my last breath
