All Is Fair

I've heard all is fair, but maybe you don't care
maybe it wasn't there, this light I'm tendin'
How much more can it take, how much longer can I wait
to let go and lay down this flame, I'm defendin'
Can you see from far away, how I can't move some days
if I just hear your name in the distance
Like a lonely soldier, still, pinned on some foreign hill
by the raining stars and shells, hopin’ and listenin’
Hear that ancient verse, the song of the poor man's worth
when the lips of the sirens purse and they all start singing
The fanfare of nightingales, the march on the wishing well
for salvation's army's bell, on the front lines ringin'
Is it war, or is it love if all you've ever done
was get me on the run? I've been hidin'
Where the wounded hearted ones, keep our lamps like setting suns
retreated but never won, all the flags still flyin'

How to Be Invisible
03:29
|

If you don’t wanna go, if you don’t wanna stay
If you don’t wanna move on, or wait
If you got someone you love, if you got something to say
If you don’t wanna have to explain
Just close your eyes, and think of all the times you never ever even wanted to try
Don’t let your love be free, don’t let your heart be full
That’s how to be invisible
If you don’t wanna be wrong, if you don’t wanna be right
If you don’t wanna talk it out, alright
If you don’t wanna see , if you don’t wanna know
If you don’t wanna think so hard anymore
Just dream away, remember the days back when you never even knew me, ok?
Don’t show, don’t tell
Just hide all the ways you thought it always might have worked out, oh well

Call to Me
05:34
|

|
Rivers will wander and rivers will bend
as love does from lovers, as lovers from friends
I'm at the banks to wade back in
and drift away, wherever it ends
Where rivers meet oceans of sand and salt
through deserts, valleys, and mountains I've crossed
with a flame I've kept burning soft
but all I see is all is lost
Lost on the edges distant and dark
tied by wavelengths of ribbons of stars
I'm bound, empty, and I've done my part
to lay you down this place in my heart
When heavens are crowded, the wilderness full
of shadows, signals, satellites and moons
if you're lost, drifting, and you can't see through
Call to me, I'm calling to you

Love Will Rule the World
03:47
|
|||
|
All the king's horses and all his men
All his lovers and all his friends
Say hey it's ok, the sun comes back again
All the arches, flags and walls
Swords and arrows, cannonballs
Well hey, it's ok, to lay down them all
Someday, it's ok, to lay down them all
All your worries, all your pride
All this distance, all this time
Nothing breaks, nothing burns
Nothing changes, it only turns
Well hey, it's ok, love will rule the world
Someday, it's ok, love will rule the world

What makes a sailor beg, what makes him poor?
To cry out for the waves, and reach out for shore?
Tides will fold, clouds will roll, I know you'll be found
I've been lost, one, too many times, to turn away from you now
What makes a body bend, what makes it break?
To constantly defend, the blood and breath it takes?
Hearts and bone, skin and stone, a seed sown in the ground
I've been hurt, one, too many times, to turn away from you now
What makes a fire bright, what makes it burn?
What gives the dark its light, a creature its worth?
When days are done and joy is won, it all comes back around
I've been loved, one, too many times, to turn away from you now

Future
03:13
|

|
The free world owns you, it don't even know you, it don't even try
what can you see, out on the scene, it won't do you no good to cry
you're all grown up, you've seen it time after time after time
the war on the screen, the war on your mind
and somehow you lost the thread
the future's the end
The free world owns me, it don't even know me, it don't even try
so far away with nothing to say, I just wanna break down and cry
you're broken in, you've seen it time after time after time
the war on the screen, the war on your mind
and somehow it all happens again
the future's the end

Out Of Mind
04:44
|
|||
|
I dreamt you painted me a sign
you held a camera to my eye
What I used to dream I don't dream it
what I used to see I don't see it
You and I, you and I must be out of my mind
I'm an hourglass, I'm a ringing bell
I spend all of my time inside myself
Where we began to come together
with wherever I end, I don't remember
You and I, you and I must be of out my mind
I thought that love would see me through
a conspiracy I wanted to be true
Your heart's gonna break, just let it
'cause one of these days, you'll forget it
You and I, you and I must be out of my mind
