In the middle of this place
There's more than just this lonely face
That street lights don't illuminate, my love
Birds will sing as the morning brings
The finest mist of dissonance
But huddled in the corner
Behind the bush
Are the ones who've take everything from me
All my wants and and all my needs
They can see me
I gotta run away
All my love and all my hate
They can see me
I gotta run away
I am Mr. Honesty
And I got no one else here with me
And I'm looking for the best way
To fix the little
Pain that you hide
That thorn in your side
And why you're so fearful out on your
Own device
Your own desires
And why you're so uncomfortable with me
All my trust
And all my faith
A whole damn team of destiny
All my doubts
And all my dreams
I'm never feeling everything

Someone's Knocking
03:20
|
|||
It took six times longer to take my time
And then the thought came
What was I thinking?
Just a gagging order and endless lies
And I can keep bring home that bacon
Changed the lock three times
They'll just keep knocking
And they'll always think that I'm faking
You gotta go
They know
Hate to leave you hanging here
But they're coming to get me
And I just can't pay them
Wait, do you have change to spare?
Somebody's knocking
But you just can't see them
It goes knock, knock
Na-na-na-knock, knock knock
Na-na-na-knock, knock
Na-na-na-knock, knock
Change the locks three times
They'll just keep knocking
And they'll always think that I'm faking
You gotta go
They know
See my hand
Go ahead, pick the first card
It's the one you were thinking
Wait, do you have time to spare
I want you to meet them
They're expecting you there
Tell them you're a good friend
Tell them our lives
They're gonna love you
Make you my wingman
You gotta go
They know

Right There
03:23
|

They say the summer is bone, bone dry
That the city doesn't have its members
But even as they far outlie
You can bet that one of us remembers
You've been saying for a long, long time
That we've been knocking for a long, long time
But you've been running for a long, long time
And we've been thinking that it might be time
Hold your horse right there
You feel it
Overarching fear
You haven't hidden all the things
That lead us right back here
We're coming to get you
But you just can't see it
Come on, say it
That you're out of your ways
And you've got nothing to pay
And you've got nothing to say
'Cause I don't
Come on, take a chance
Get it out of the way
'Cause you've got nothing to pay
'Cause you've got nothing to say
'Cause I don't
You've been running for a long, long time, man
Through the desert that is bone, bone dry
And we've been thinking that a long, long time
That you are guilty, and it's a lie
There you are right there
We see you
Overarching fear
You haven't hidden all the things
That lead us right back here
We're coming to get you
But you just can't see it
Hold your horse right there
You feel it
Overarching fear
I haven't had enough
Of all the lives that you impair
I'm coming to get you
But you just can't see it

Homeless
03:27

You see the swinging people when the government loves to tango
You can't dance lost if someone is showing the way
And you say it ain't just human that I'm feeling like an animal today
If this is where the heart is, you can take my love away
With a keyboard and a shopping cart, is he higher than the man on the plane?
Is he living it up when he'd finding a bed and he's bumming it off of a person that don't know your name?
And I feel that it's not the same
I don't know where my roof is in a soulless kind of way
And it feels like letting home take my life away
Going nowhere fast but as fast as I can possibly be
Oh no, the sun is gone. I'll have to take my light with me
Set a course and make my great escape

At the Door
05:08
|

Place your faith inside
But many don't
Save your face inside
But many don't
Taking all my time
Seeing all you see in my eyes
Like I knew you would
Like I know you are
Cold feet on ice
Let it all go
Hearts maligned
Let it all go
Home
No, no
I am on my side
If this is home
I won't leave in my life
But this ain't it, you lied
This ain't it, you lied

Nowhere
03:22
|
|||
It smothers with everything that you never knew
And brings to you too many things to light
Escorts you down every forgotten road and makes sure that you
Never have much to say or write
But when asked if you live there
You don't think, you know so
It flashes pretty things that haven't a care
A care in the world about what it is you want
Then outreaches in sultry air, your gasping arm
But remains civil enough to never flaunt
That thing that takes a life and bends its knife into itself
And never gives time to heal
But when asked if you carry it
I don't think, I know so
Don't mind me, don't mind me
I'm just stepping into the limelight
Nothing is coming
Nowhere is coming
It's something to see
But when asked if you'd be there
I don't think, I know so
