Oh Honey

Oh honey, don't talk to me like I'm a child
Oh honey, you know that tone of voice
It drives me wild
Oh honey, don't you challenge every single word I say
Oh honey, if you'd listen
I'm being clear as day
Oh honey, don't ask if you're gonna cut me short
It drives you mad when I go silent
But this is my last resort
And I, I've been sitting here
Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet
And I, I've been sitting here
Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet
And I, I wanna know, do you know
Who I am at all?
Oh honey, don't look at me like I'm a saint
I'm not a timeless work of art,
Sitting still here with dried paint
Oh honey, don't you shadow every single step I take
Must pace myself to hold your hand
Or there's a guilt I cannot shake
And I, I've been sitting here
Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet
And I, I've been sitting here
Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet
And I, I wanna know, do you know
Who I am at all?
My love, tells me I'm a flower
But I swear, I swear I'm a fire
My love, tells me I'm a flower
But I swear, I swear I'm a fire
I think I know what I've got, what I got to do
But I don't know I don't know I don't know
If I'll ever dare to
No I don't know I don't know I don't know
If I'll ever dare to

Right Now
04:59
|

|
I don't wanna know what tomorrow brings
Right now, right now
But the thought trickles up my spine and then it
Wraps around, wraps around
Closing tight around my head,
Causing my teeth to gnaw instead of
Opening up and letting loose
To form words with which I could exchange with you, you
Cause right now, yeah right now
I'd rather have a grip on words that slip
Through your red-wine-stained lips
Cause right now, yeah right now
I'd prefer to hone in on laughs that brim
The edge of your jovial chin
But I flash forward with fear-induced future predictions
And I rush rewind repeating reviews of recent occasions
But if I could get my mind to stop this constant racing of the clock
I would find that all that I want is right here, right now
I don't wanna know what they thought of me
Right now, right now
But there goes the alert, and alarms start ringing
So loud, so loud
Sounds echo inside my head,
Causing my eyes to dart instead of
Sitting still and peering in
World of love that orbits circles around your grin, grin
Cause right now, yeah right now
I'd rather have a grip on words that slip
Through your red-wine-stained lips
Cause right now, yeah right now
I'd prefer to hone in on laughs that brim
The edge of your jovial chin
But I flash forward with fear-induced future predictions
And I rush rewind repeating reviews of recent occasions
But if I could get my mind to stop this constant racing of the clock
I would find that all that I want is right here
Someone please tell me just what is wrong with me
Shut the blinds, now it's too dark to see
Why can't I be content
Scratch an inch I get bit again
Why can't I just let go
Got a rainstorm I keep in town
And I pull you in, and I push you out
God only knows what you're patient without
You just take my hand
And then all you demand is that I take a breath with you
You
You
And I know that all I want is right here
Right now

Rock the Boat
05:13

|
She didn't wanna rock the boat
She should be content to sit still and let it float
As she sat there not making a sound,
The ideas sprang to life, thrashing around
Do the currents churn as it does in her mind
Do they push and pull, a catastrophic divine
Do they feel as confined to the sea
As trapped as the fire inside of she
But the anchor is set
There's a balance she must not upset
World keeps spinning, circling, turning round me
Clouds keep floating, drifting, flying above me
Sea keeps swirling, crashing, swaying around me
Be still, stay still
Be still, stay still
Be still, stay still
It depends on you
She dreamt about moving
She dreamt about moving
She dreamt about
She felt a breeze sweep past her face
Gently rocking her precarious resting place
Shifted the dying embers in her eyes
Her eyes flew open, a spark ignited
Should she let the fire burn away the pain
If movement's the only way to feed the flame
Should she take the plunge into the deep
If peace is her responsibility to keep
But the movement was made
She dove in as a reckless cascade
World keeps spinning, circling, turning round me
Clouds keep floating, drifting, flying above me
Sea keeps swirling, crashing, swaying around me
Be still, stay still
Be still, stay still
Be still, stay still
It depends on you
She dreamt about moving
She dreamt about moving
She dreamt about
The fire warms her as she swims the crashing waves to the shore
Water washing away the complacent faces she's worn
Stumbled onto an island, pulled herself up onto the sand
Ran as fast as she could in a straight line across this new land
Shouting back apologies for the cries and the woes
For she didn't divert her path to avoid stepping on toes
When she reached the rock, she started climbing and she didn't stop
And birds flew everywhere, fleeing her rush to the mountaintop
Fire burning brighter as she stood tall up on the peak
She conducted the storm with her bare hands as lightning streaked
So captivating, invigorating, exhilarating
She saw the island awake to the beauty of living
All because she moved
All because she moved
All because she dared to
I dreamt about moving
I dreamt about moving
I dreamt about

Wild Horse
04:45
|

|
I was wondering if I could tell a story
A story that I've never told before
I was thinking back on when I was a wild horse
A force no one had ever reckoned with before
I was running far and fast and long and free
When I stumbled broken onto your front door
Your eyes filled to the brim with a childish glee
You took me in, did everything for me
I've never known a heart so pure
You cared for me, always built a love that felt so sure
And we became inseparable
And we became a happiness, happiness
But most of all, we became a home
Don't let me run
No, don't let me run
No, don't let me run
No, don't let me run
I'm about to give up on the best thing I have ever had
All because sometimes, sometimes I go a little mad
I was peacefully daydreaming when it caught my eye
Something in the distance shimmered by
Curiosity surged in me, as it hadn't done in years
I took off running faster than the wind
I turned to my side to share the splendor with you
But I was all alone, I looked back home
You were standing there all alone, dazed and confused
Your head was hanging low, low, low
I've never known my heart so torn
I care for you, now this wonder it feels more like a thorn
And I, I became a disconnect
And I, I instilled a sadness here, sadness here
But most of all, I fear I'm running from our home
Don't let me run
No, don't let me run
No, don't let me run
Won't let me run
Oh honey
I'm gonna run
Yeah, I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run
Oh honey, honey, honey, I pray that someday you'll see
That if you loved me, if you loved me, you would've set me free

Catch This Moment
04:26

If I could catch this moment and save it for later
If I could catch this moment and save it for later
For when the waves of fear crash down on me
And I can't even tell what's up from what is down
For when the walls are closing in on me
And I can't even tell if I can turn around
Then I could feel free
Then I could feel free
As I do now, now, now, now
As I do now, now, now, now
If I could catch this fever and save it for later
If I could catch this fever and save it for later
For when the skies above are solid gray
And I can't get a hint of rain or sunny rays
For when the walls are white, clean, cold, and bare
And I've not a clue of what to paint or hang up there
Then I could feel wild
Then I could feel wild
As I do now, now, now, now
As I do now, now, now, now
If I could, I would fold it up real neat
Put it in a locket
Maybe safe in my back pocket
If I could, I would melt it down real sweet
Pour it into a flask
Maybe mold it into a mask
Well, I, I, I take it with me everywhere
Everywhere, I, I take it with me everywhere
Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
Everywhere
If I could catch this feeling and save it for later
If I could catch this feeling and save it for later
For when the winds are thrashing back and forth
And I can't decide if the needle points south or north
For when the walls are shaking all around
And I'm shivering at each and every sound
Then I could feel bold
I could feel bold
As I do now, now, now, now
As I do now, now, now, now

Monster
05:22
|
|||
|
She snuck in like a thief
Like a thief in the night
She takes without pressure or need
All she has is her malice and spite
She destroys without guilt
Everything that I've built
Her bullets are doubt, her poison is fear
She whispers everything that I can't stand to hear
I stood tall in the light,
So strong in the fight
I intended to keep my head high
Stand my ground through the plight
I thought I was a warrior
Squaring off with my shoulders
But she never plays fair
Stabbed straight in my back
Eyes glinting with joy at her victorious attack
Only so many times that one can say no
Only so many times that one can say go, go, go, go
There's only so many times one can fight back
But I'm not keeping track
She moves in like a fog
Clouding all that surrounds
Well I intended to keep moving on
I can't afford to slow down
But she seeps in without pause
Shrouding all of my cause
Blindly I stumble through
This daunting abyss
Is there any reprieve
There must be a way to clear this
She's a mad puppeteer
Ties my limbs up in strings
Swings me through the day-to-day grind
So apathetic it stings
She stole my spark and my charm
While she twisted my arm
She dances me towards those who hold dear
I dig in my heels so that I may steer clear
Only so many times that one can say no
Only so many times that one can say go, go, go, go
There's only so many times one can fight back
But I'm not keeping track
Running full speed ahead, then shot down by arrows
I feel myself crumble, my breath's getting shallow
As I pull myself up, she pours water on the ground
Every move I make seems to send me sliding down
I'm at a breaking point, my efforts seem useless
But she's met her match, she must know I'm relentless
Cause I know for a fact that if I last through the night
This monster's power will fade fast in the morning light
As long as there's darkness she'll continue to linger
Always evolving brand new schemes she will configure
If I could keep her at bay till the sun shines again
Won't give in to this pain, won't give in to despair
I'll lose battles for sure, but I'll sure as hell win this war

Reality
05:51
|
|||
|
My feet are glued here to the floor
Arms locked and braced against the frame
My eyes survey a scene I swear I've seen before
Again, perfection lies beyond this open door
Blue skies, green grass, it all appears to be the same
But this time there's you, and that's all it should take to rewrite the score
I was a fool lured into paradise
A carefully crafted mirage
To me, the delicacy wasn't worth the price
When I'd dance, the grass would papercut my barefoot toes
Jumping sent ripples through the canvas camouflage
I shattered our world, when I ran into the glass, no clue we were enclosed
Don't know why it's so hard for me to see, let alone believe
that this perfect world is as I perceive
And I want so bad to see what you found in me
I'm blinded by my doubt, still cursed by my tendencies
I have spent years dreaming of the girl I could be
But with you, I see me as reality
Real life is wrought with imperfections
And as you point out flaws in this oasis
Say you can't wait to work together on solutions
What a shining beacon on the actuality
Because before, my accusations had no basis
Made out to be a loon, and how unwise was I to question this reverie
So we'll chop up the tree that fell, blocking the road
Collect the wood to make our fire for the night
And when the morning comes, the two of us will run just to see where it goes
Don't know why it's so hard for me to see, let alone believe
That this perfect world is as I perceive
And I want so bad to see what you found in me
I'm blinded by my doubt, still cursed by my tendencies
I have spent years dreaming of the girl I can be
But with you, I see me as reality
Trepidation is terrifying
It's absolutely petrifying
The paranoia of more imposters
Fuels my imagination of monsters
I feel rumbles in the ground
Will the earth quake or stay sound
There's a slither by the lake
A playful breeze or deadly snake
I cry out loud, I shout out a warning
You kindly laugh and assure me that it's all in my head
But that when creatures come crawling, dark clouds roll in storming
You'll never shield my eyes and fight at my side instead
Has to be real
Has to be real
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Has to be real
Has to be real
Has to be real
Has to be real
So here I go, I promise I will place my faith in you
Cause I do believe that you, my love, are true
And as I run to you, I feel so damn alive now in our reality
