The Stars Have Aligned 02:37
lyrics
buy track
The stars have aligned And conspired to change Our once-fantastic lives Into ruins Buried with the dead Like a ship lost at sea Ashore they ring the bell In memory Through the night Now it's all that I have left So don't you let them go In a world filled with lies I'm impotent To put anything right Even now I remember what you said And the one simple theme That replays itself Throughout my memories Through the night Spoiling in my head Don't you let them go (I don't think that I'm strong enough now) Don't you let them go (I don't think I can live without them)

Of Grace 04:35
lyrics

I am on you side To the left of dignified In the chalk dust corridors of fear Defining inclinations, too clear I am not afraid I endure what I have made Of my life Burn your candles bright Move on through the light Despite repeated warnings of grace Acknowledged splendor too late

Precious Things 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Maybe it was the way she grew up The sound of screams, the smell of blood She tells her friends that everything's alright It's the kind of thing you keep inside I drove by the old house today And think of her a different way I wonder if she's had enough tonight The husband she's always dreamed of A wealthy man's not hard to love She takes the blame for every single fight And clings to a façade with all her might But it's worth it for the diamond rings Mercedes Benz and precious things I wonder if she's had enough tonight Guess it's the way the heart is won I tried my best but now I'm done I could have given her a better life But she had only money in her sight Don't tell me she's the victim now It seems to me quite fair somehow I wonder if she's had enough tonight Yeah I wonder if she's had enough tonight

It Doesn't Mean Anything 02:18
lyrics
buy track
You should know a thing or two About the man consuming you Is he the man you think he is Or lying 'bout the wife and kids All because your dreams were haunted You did everything he wanted Now he's gone and you're a mess The truth won't hurt you any less A lot of bad girls said "yes" before A lot of good girls said "yes" before It doesn't mean anything In this place you find yourself Can't put feelings on a shelf To be discarded or removed By all the stupid things you do He's not worth it, not one tear So stop complaining, have a beer We'll toast to all that's yet to come See your world is not undone A lot of bad girls said "yes" before A lot of good girls said "yes" before It doesn't mean anything It doesn't mean anything

What I Am Thinking 03:18
lyrics

Did you find what You were looking for Did it cleanse you Leave you wanting more You can guess what I am thinking Can you feel it Raining down on you Can you hear it Tells you what to do You can guess what I am thinking You can guess what I am thinking Everyday, another chance to get it right Did you buy it What they're selling you Was it worth it It's a compelling view You can guess what I am thinking For the first time You are on your own And yeah you've got problems But you are not alone You can guess what I am thinking You can guess what I am thinking Every day, another chance to get it right

Is one of us happy Is the other one happy too Are both of us happy To be alive Is one of us happy Is the other one happy too Are both of us happy To be alive And side by side You could have it all, my friend You could have it all You could have it all, my friend

Fed Up 03:34
lyrics
buy track
My spirit will fade in the end As my body returns to the ground I'm getting that feeling again That my woman is making the rounds Waiting outside in the rain I left my keys down at the bar Missed out on fortune and fame My dealer took off with the car I've cheated, I've lied I've done plenty of time You think that I'd learn from the past I've stolen, I've robbed Now I can't find a job That kind of shop closes to fast Remember the name Remember to respect the game When I get back on the streets I'll try to keep myself legit It's hard to get back on your feet When everyone's giving you shit I wanna be able and proud Retaining just some dignity I won't ever say it out loud But I'm really fed up being me I've cheated, I've lied I've done plenty of time You think that I'd learn from my past I've stolen, I've robbed Now I can't get a job That kind of shop closes to fast Remember the name Remember to respect the game

Soft Rewards 03:27
lyrics
buy track
I studied every page Perfected every line I marched in your parade Committed several crimes Through it all I stayed And entered every fight Fixed on the display Only then took flight Seems like I've been here Once or twice before Was it dark like this Or were there soft rewards I felt the worth of it Slip between my hands I try hard to omit And somehow breathe again All that came to pass All that disappeared Wasn't made to last Could not withstand the tears Seems like I've been here Once or twice before Was it dark like this Or were there soft rewards

Intervention 02:56
lyrics

Take it easy, baby, don't be sad Don't you know I'll be your loving man For the rest of your life If you put down the knife Get a grip on yourself We're only here to help you Take it easy, baby, don't feel blue Don't you know that I will still love you In spite of all that you've done Are there bullets in the gun Please step back from the grave We only want to save you I don't wanna see you hurt But they've got a lot of dirt on you And I don't wanna see you die So I'll have to ask you why Are you acting this insane Take it easy, baby, don't be cruel Don't you know I'm always here for you If you want me to stay I will never go away Please step back from the grave We only want to save you

Something About You 02:51
lyrics
buy track
I know about the slippery hands That teach you how to take Then move beyond it I know about the shadow plans That follow out of reach Still so obvious I know about the slippery smiles That teach you how to laugh And never mean it I know about the curt denials That you embrace like summer Do you feel better There's something about you Affects my well-being Something about you Infects my blood stream I've never been the fatal type Though I may play the part I'm not that grateful Blow southern winds, destroy my life I still know how to act Without being stepped on I know about the slippery hands That teach you how to take Then move beyond it So they have drained me out again What seemed a silver lining Is just good timing There's something about you Affects my well-being Something about you Infects my blood stream

Carry me out inside a box Just another one on the loading dock Can't conceal the sun that's shining Couldn't hide it either in your eyes Everything is getting clearer Maybe now you'll see through my disguise Carry me out inside a box Just another one on the loading dock Can't conceal the sun that's shining Couldn't hide it either in your eyes Everything is getting clearer Maybe now I'll see through your disguise

Hating (Mariachi Mix) 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Somewhere under a blue-black sky A bonfire casts light on an ancient lie The people gather round anyway No one speaking They let the chi fly away Blindly seeking Someone you know as an honest man Corrupted, he turned it into a scam Reason is lost in the fight No one hearing And with love out of his sight Disappearing Someday in spite of ourselves we'll go Step back, there's room enough in the glow And then without any proof No one seeing Cannot rely on the truth Painful, fleeting

One More Hour 02:47
lyrics
buy track
Maybe someday I'll believe In all the things that can't be seen Or in the people close to me Or in the counsel they're offering Maybe this time I will know What is real and what is show Or when a friend becomes a foe Or when it's really time to go And I just want one more hour with you And I just want one more hour with you My friend Maybe I will always dream Of the things that could have been Or in the way they almost seemed Or in the way you were everything Maybe this time I'll have learned What it feels like to be burned Or a quick way to discern Or in the meaning of suffering And I just want one more hour with you And I just want one more hour with you My friend

You refuse to go away I resurrect you every day If you want to make it right I would marry you tonight And for the record I knew what I did was wrong And I knew it all along There's just one more thing That I need to say Right here There's an easier way out And it's all I think about There's no way I'll change your mind I'm so sorry I was blind I will call out your name When my heart stops beating I will see you again When my lungs stop breathing I will hold you in my arms When it all turns to black An I won't miss you any more
