No Name Face

Hanging by a moment

Desperate for changing
starving for truth
closer to where I started
chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

forgetting all I'm lacking
completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
you take all of me now

I'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
and I don't know what I'm diving into
just hanging by a moment here with you

There's nothing else to lose
there's nothing else to find
there's nothing in the world
that could change my mind
there is nothing else
there is nothing else
there is nothing else

Desperate for changing
starving for truth
closer to where I started
chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
and I don't know what I'm diving into
just hanging by a moment here with you
just hanging by a moment
hanging by a moment
hanging by a moment
hanging by a moment here with you


Sick Cycle Carousel


If shame had a face I think it would kind of look like mine
if it had a home would it be my eyes?
would you believe me if I said I'm tired of this?
well here we go now one more time

I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to change this mind
you better believe that I have tried to beat this

So will this end? it goes on and on
over and over and over again
keeps spinning around, I know that it won't stop
till I step down from this for good

Well I never thought I'd end up here, never
thought I'd be standing where I am
I guess I kind of thought that it would be easier than this
I guess I was wrong now one more time

I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to change this mind
you better believe that I have tried to beat this

So will this end? it goes on and on
over and over and over again
keeps spinning around, I know that it won't stop
till I step down from this
sick cycle carousel
this is a sick cycle, yeah
sick cycle carousel
this is a sick cycle, yeah

So will this end? it goes on and on
over and over and over again
keeps spinning around, I know that it won't stop
till I step down from this for good

so will this end? it goes on and on
over and over and over again
keeps spinning around, I know that it won't stop
till I step down from this for good

Unknown



This doubt is screaming in my face
in this familiar place sheltered and concealed
and if this night won't let me rest
don't let me second guess
what I know to be real
put away all I know for tonight
and maybe I just might
learn to let it go
take my security from me
and maybe finally
I won't have to know everything

I am falling into grace
to the unknown to where you are
and faith makes everybody scared
it's the unknown, the don't-know
that keeps me hanging on and on and on to you

and maybe finally I won't have to learn everything

I got nothing left to defend
I cannot pretend
that everything makes sense
but does it really matter now?
if I do not know how
to figure this thing out

And I am falling into grace
to the unknown to where you are and
faith makes everybody scared
it's the unknown, the don't-know
that keeps me hanging on and on and on to you

I'm against myself again
trying to fit these pieces in
walking on a cloud of dust
to get to you

I am falling into grace
to the unknown to where you are and
faith makes everybody scared
it's the unknown, the don't-know
that keeps me hanging on

And I am falling into grace
to the unknown to where you are and
faith makes everybody scared
it's the unknown, the don't-know
that keeps me hanging on and on and on to you


Somebody else's song


Can't change this feeling
I'm way out of touch
can't change this meaning
well it means too much
never felt so lonely
never felt so good
can't be the only one misunderstood
cause I remind myself of somebody else, I'm

Feeling like i'm chasing like i'm facing myself alone
I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head

I want some of my own
I want some of my own
I want some of my own

Can you see me up here? would you
bring me back down
cause I've been living to see my fears as they
fall to the ground
I remind myself of somebody else, I'm

Feeling like I'm chasing like I'm facing myself alone
I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head
I want some of my own
I want some of my own
I want some of my own

Am I hiding behind my doubts?
are they hiding behind me?
closer to finding out
it doesn't mean anything
Well I remind myself of somebody else, I'm

Feeling like I'm chasing like I'm facing myself alone
I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head
I want some of my own
I want some of my own
I want some of my own


Trying


Could you let down your hair be transparent for awhile?
just a little while
to see if your human after all
honesty is a hard attribute to find
when we all want to seem like
we've got it all figured out
well let me be the first to say that I don't have a clue
I don't have all the answers
ain't gonna pretend like I do

Just trying
to find my way
trying
to find my way the best that I know how

Well I haven't memorized all of the cute things to say
but I'm working on it
maybe I'll master this art form someday
if I quote all the lines off the top of my head
would you believe
that I fully understand all these things I've read?

I'm just trying
to find my way
trying
to find my way
trying
to find my way the best that I know how

Well I haven't got it all figured out quite yet but
even if it takes my whole life
to get to where I need to be
and if I should fall to the bottom of the end
I'll be one step back to you and

Trying
to find my way
trying
to find my way

I'm trying
to find my way
trying
to find my way


Only one


She's got a pretty smile
it covers up the poison that she hides
she walks around in circles in my head
waiting for a chance to break me
a chance to take me down
now I see the burden you gave me
is too much to carry
too much to bury inside

I guess you're the only one
that nobody changes
I guess you're the only one
left standing when everything else goes down
you're still the only one
yeah you're still the only one

It's all shallow and all so appealing now
I'm up to my ankles and I'm drowning anyway in a sea of
sarcastic faces
familiar places
everything looks quite the same here it's
all confusingly amusing
bitter and tainted
the picture you painted to me

I guess you're the only one
that nobody changes
guess you're the only one
left standing when everything else goes down
you're still the only one
who will never change faces
I guess you're the only one
left standing when everything else goes down

Just cause it's all in your head
doesn't mean it has to be in mine
don't believe what you said
still can't get it out of my mind
I've tried to find myself an approval
I've already been there
already done that, it
got me nowhere, it
brought me nothing but a good place to hide in
no one to confide in now

I guess you're the only one
that nobody changes
I guess you're the only one
that will never change faces
I guess you're the only one


Simon


Catch your breath
hit the wall
scream out loud
as you start to crawl
back in your cage
the only place
where they will
leave you alone
cause the weak will seek the weaker till they've broken them
could you get it back again
would it be the same?
fulfillment to their lack of strength at your expense
left you with no defense
they tore it down

And I have felt the same
as you I've felt the same
as you I've felt the same

Locked inside
the only place
where you feel sheltered
where you feel safe
you lost yourself
in your search to find
something else to hide behind
cause the fearful always preyed upon your confidence
didn't they see the consequence?
they pushed you around
the arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones
breaking them till they've become
just another crown

And I have felt the same
as you I've felt the same
as you I've felt the same
as you I've felt the same

Refuse to feel
anything at all
refuse to slip
refuse to fall
can't be weak
can't stand still
watch your back
cause no one will

You don't know why they had to go this far
traded your worth for these scars
for your only company
and don't believe the lies that they have told to you
not one word was true
you're alright
you're alright
you're alright

And I have felt the same
as you I've felt the same
as you I've felt the same
as you I've felt the same


Cling and Clatter


Too many voices
it won't take long
which one's right
and which one's wrong
and yours is most likely to be misunderstood
screaming in tongues
at the top of my lungs
till I find you
till you found me and somehow
I always knew that you would

And I am contemplating matters
all this cling and clatter
in my head
and what you said is ringing
ringing faster

And it's all good
if you would stop the world from making sense
and if I could
just realize it doesn't really matter
doesn't really matter
doesn't really matter

If I could touch the sound of silence now
you know I would
if I knew how
to make these intentions come around
and now I'm hearing without listening
and believing every word that you're not saying
speaking without a sound

And I am contemplating matters
all this cling and clatter
in my head
and what you said is ringing
ringing faster

And it's all good
if you would stop the world from making sense
and if I could
just realize it doesn't really matter
doesn't really matter
doesn't really matter

Trapped inside of these four walls
walking brainless muppet dolls
mushroom face beneath the tangles
bleeding silhouette inside
dancing like an angel would

And it's all good
if you would stop the world from making sense
and if I could
just realize it doesn't really matter
doesn't really matter
doesn't really matter

And it's all good
if you would stop the world from making sense
and if I could
just realize it doesn't really matter
doesn't really matter
all this cling and clatter


Breathing



I'm finding my way back to sanity again
though I don't really know what I'm gonna do when I get there
and take a breath and hold on tight
spin around one more time
and gracefully fall back to the arms of grace

Cause I am hanging on every word you say and
even if you don't want to speak tonight
that's alright, alright with me
cause I want nothing more than
to sit outside Heaven's door
and listen to you breathing
is where I wanna be, yeah
where i wanna be

I'm looking past the shadows in my mind into the truth and I'm
trying to identify the voices in my head
God which one's you
let me feel one more time what it
feels like to feel and
break these calluses off of me
one more time

Cause I am hanging on every word you say and
even if you don't wanna speak tonight
that's alright, alright with me
cause I want nothing more than
to sit outside your door
and listen to your breathing
is where I wanna be, yeah

I don't want a thing from you
bet you're tired of me
waiting for the scraps to fall off of your table to the ground
cause I just want to be here now

Cause I am hanging on every word you say and
even if you don't wanna speak tonight
that's alright, alright with me
cause I want nothing more than
to sit outside Heaven's door
and listen to your breathing
is where I wanna be yeah

Cause I am hanging on every word you say and
even if you don't wanna speak tonight
that's alright, alright with me
cause I want nothing more than
to sit outside Heaven's door
and listen to you breathing
is where I wanna be yeah
where I wanna be
where I wanna be


Quasimodo


You can be right
and I'll be real
honesty won't be a pain that you'll have to feel
cause I don't need your approval
to find my worth
I'm trapped inside of my own mind
afraid to open my eyes cause of what I'd find and I
don't want to live like this anymore

There goes my pain
there goes my chains
did you see them falling?
because this feeling
that has no meaning

There goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
there it goes

Does it scare you that I can
be something different than you?
would it make you feel more comfortable if I wasn't?
you can't control me
and you can't take away from me who I am

There goes my pain
there goes my chains
did you see them falling?
because this feeling
that has no meaning

There goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
you can't change me
you can't break me

There goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back

Have you ever felt
like your only comfort was your cage
you're not alone
I've felt the same as you
have you ever felt
like your secrets give you away
you're not alone
I've been there too
cause everyone is looking
and everyone is laughing but I think
everyone feels the same
everybody wants to feel ok
everybody wants to
everybody wants to feel

There goes my pain
there goes my chains
did you see them falling?
because this feeling
that has no meaning

There goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
cause I don't want it
I don't want it
you can't change me
you can't break me

There goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
there it goes


Somewhere in Between



I can't be losing sleep
over this, no I can't
and now I cannot stop pacing
give me a few hours
I'll have this all sorted out
if my mind would just stop racing

Cause I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
this cannot be happening

This is over my head
but underneath my feet
cause by tomorrow morning
I'll have this thing beat
and everything will be back to the way that it was
I wish that it was just that easy

Cause I'm waiting for tonight
and then waiting for tomorrow
and I'm somewhere in between
what is real and just a dream?
what is real and just a dream?
what is real and just a dream?

Would you catch me if I fall out of what I fell in?
don't be surprised if I collapse
down at your feet again
I don't want to run away from this
I know that I just don't need this

Cause I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
this cannot be happening, yeah

Cause I'm waiting for tonight
and then waiting for tomorrow
and I'm somewhere in between
what is real and just a dream?
what is real and just a dream?
what is real and just a dream?
what is real and just a dream?


Everything


Find me here
and speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
you are the light
that's leading me
to the place
where I find peace again

You are the strength
that keeps me walking
you are the hope
that keeps me trusting
you are the life
into my soul
you are my purpose
you're everything

And how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this
yeah

You calm the storms
and you give me rest
you hold me in your hands
you won't let me fall
you still my heart
and you take my breath away
would you take me in
take me deeper now

And how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this

And how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this

Cause you're all I want
you're all I need
you're everything
everything

You're all I want
you're all I need
you're everything
everything

You're all I want
you're all I need
you're everything
everything

You're all I want
you're all I need
you're everything
everything

And how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this

And how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this

Would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this
