Blinding Lights

Pumping dance floor, leading people on but they want more
Back Hall, Baked Street, wanting nothing more than to meet
Some goddess, together, but they’re too far gone to speak to
Each other, unspoken, just another night spent stuck in
In those blinding lights, make it hard to see
And there’s nowhere else they’d rather be
Turn the speakers up! Play that modern hymn!
It’s calling her and she’s calling him
Squeezing, choked out, the crowd’s calling for more but it’s too loud
Blackout, white light, they think a beer is enough to start a fight
Pool cues, splinters, as the brawl begins he carries her
To safety, unbroken, just another night spent stuck in
In those blinding lights, make it hard to see
And there’s nowhere else they’d rather be
Turn the speakers up! Play that modern hymn!
It’s calling her and she’s calling him
In those blinding lights, make it hard to see
And there’s nowhere else they’d rather be
Turn the speakers up! Play that modern hymn!
It’s calling her and she’s calling him

He turns and runs for the door
His mind is thick for what the night has got in store
Lightning sparks and his instinct to fly
He's putting off his problems to wait for a sunlit sky
The room is filled to the brim
But everyone knows that it is no concern to him
His eyes are focused and they're turned to black
Running off of fumes and he know there's no turning back
So come with me, yeah let's make a night
The DJ's playing these songs, they're out of sight
Trust me, I promise you we'll see the light
Tell me what I have to do
A song change emits a new mood
Why do you have to be so crude?
How do I get to know you?
Another twilight's at stake
He's come to here with mistakes that he's sure to make
The band is playing and the shotguns fire
The sound of the music could not go any higher
A pickscratch makes a run down the neck
He turns to the crowd and he doesn't make sure to check
His eyes are focused and he stands his ground
His strings maim his fingers and the crowd starts to get loud
So come with me, yeah let's make a night
The DJ's playing these songs, they're out of sight
Trust me, I promise you that we'll see the light
Tell me what I have to do
A song change emits a new mood
Why do you have to be so crude?
How do I get to know you?
Tell me what I have to do
A song change emits a new mood
Why do you have to be so crude?
How do I get to know you?

Black Shadows

Long black shadows, oh they fell down this road we know so well
Faded smokescreen, blowing around memories without a sound
Although we left for our world tours, we'll never forget that old shore
And killing time from days we found, forever spoken brother's bound
Twilight spent running away, hand in hand, no dismay
Forever bound by those nights we'll remember
Passing time, it's slipping away, runs past me every day
Forever out of the lights, burning out but shining bright
Sunlit shoreline out our way, not caring about the ocean spray
Laughing, crying, the bad and the good, doing those things we said we would
Oh those years spent with you my brothers all through and through
Long black shadows, there they stood as they were and they always would.
Twilight spent running away, hand in hand, no dismay
Forever bound by those nights we'll remember
Passing time, it's slipping away, runs past me every day
Forever out of the lights, burning out but shining bright
Twilight spent running away, hand in hand, no dismay
Forever bound by those nights we'll remember
Passing time, it's slipping away, runs past me every day
Forever out of the lights, burning out but shining bright

Stealing Away

Could someone tell me how the hell I got here?
Could someone tell me why the hell I care?
Every time I get a break it's working
No one told me how that makes it fair
And you walk back here but it's pulling away yeah it's pulling away
And you lost all fear but it starts to decay yeah it starts to decay
Now your mouth's shut tight you got nothing to say yeah nothing to say
Can you tell me how you're not insane?
Type of day it seems to come don't matter
The way it feels I know it don't seem right
When did commonplace become a struggle?
Every move I make is out of sight
And you walk back here but it's pulling away yeah it's pulling away
And you lost all fear but it starts to decay yeah it starts to decay
Now your mouth's shut tight you got nothing to say yeah nothing to say
Can you tell me how you're not insane?

Friendly Strangers

Letting go
Monotony and distaste start to show
But I belong below
Take me home
The constant moonlight makes me feel alone
The stars behind the clouds don't show
The streets that call my name aren't home
Against the flow
Behind the burning bridge is someone's home
So look out down below
A bunch of "Oh"s
Fine by me
The passing colors are too dull to see
They scream that we are free
The roaring sea
Is full of life that will always be
Unknown to us but we agree
We turn to flee
Away from past troubles, hopes, and dreams
So come along with me

Oh I'm paralyzed
Yeah I can't turn around
If I wanted you I'd let you know
But you're nowhere to be found
When I look at you I just can't breath, I'm scared of your sight
You have a hold on me that takes control all day and night
I need to summon up my inner self and stand up to you
But then you grab my hand and look at me and take me to your room
I don't stand chance yeah
You have me on one knee
Yeah it's hard to tell you no
When you pucker up and kiss me
When I look at you I just can't breath, I'm scared of your sight
You have a hold on me that takes control all day and night
I need to summon up my inner self and stand up to you
But then you grab my head and look at me and take me to your room
When I look at you I just can't breath, I'm scared of your sight
You have a hold on me that takes control all day and night
I need to summon up my inner self and stand up to you
But then you grab my head and look at me and take me to your room

Teen Angst

Looking back and reflections occur
Flashing colors it is all a blur
Those things I said to you I don't always mean
We always disagree
Stuck but not stranded in my own thoughts
I can't just let it go I know I ought to
Go through the motions from one day to the next one
Danger is yet tempting like staring at the sun
You told me that I'm not trying at all
You said I'm never there when you start to fall
A simple man with a kind-hearted nature
Is it enough for you
Stuck but not stranded in my own thoughts
I can't just let it go I know I ought to
Go through the motions from one day to the next one
Danger is yet tempting like staring at the sun
Stuck but not stranded in my own thoughts
I can't just let it go I know I ought to
Go through the motions from one day to the next one
Danger is yet tempting like staring at the sun

Hear Yourself
I said I don’t know why I still try
To make impressions that last a while
Cant you stop and listen; it’s not my dismay
You can’t hear yourself ‘cause you’re to far away
And the overtones of you still ring
But I drown them out as I begin to sing
Let my swift voice tell my tale to you
Wake up child, the world is anew ignoring the old tune
I see with my eyes. I notice your lies
I see the things that you can’t hear
But I know in my heart that one day you’ll part
With thoughts covering your ears

On This Note
Overshadowed in a crowd and so unseen
Focused heavily on space between
All my adversaries on common ground
And my fears seem to be nowhere around
But don’t lose your sight before it goes
Your eyes start to fail before you know
Do not judge yourself on what’s around
You can make an echo without resounding
So run into a place with nothing to undermine your worth
Abscond with what you know is yours and not upon this earth
