acrobat 02:47
would you believe me if my heart were to unravel like yarn fall silent like flies in a jar would you still leave me if we saw rainbows in the dark awestruck like lovers in the park beauty like the words of a poem comfort like a voice on the phone start me like an engine in the cold and sing like the girl in my soul would you believe me if my heart were to burn down like a barn black plumes and red balls of fire would you still leave me if i tried acrobat in the sky no net on the ground only a wire
2.
from that moment thereafter like a tap on the shoulder you won’t stay the days crash down like a heartbeat like waves that could wash away our differences but you know i will keep falling a little deeper i’ll follow you into the rain keep trying to calm your fever into a cemetery shade no, i didn’t mean it either when after all it’s only our peace of mind now you’ve changed your story but the same mistakes still stand in your way and like you do you run away with the liars you keep playing with fire until you break but you know i will

broken glass 04:25
i must have been born the wrong time of day or given away i hung myself out naked on the wall with these words in my mouth like a cigarette coming out they leave me choking on everything that i say every thought leaves a scar, wasting my time in these bars now i’m empty and so is my glass is it common to be so uncommonly freezing cold in the warm summer streets? i’m running out of reasons to change i’m all out and i’ve got nothing to lose i’m all out spend another day looking far away live another life with another name the things that i could never change waiting for the day i could finally say everything is there falling into place and now it’s easier to say you buried your faults but i found them all there in your fall there once were times but now i just don’t believe you at all from behind the wall i’m buried in your faults
4.
distant (you are) cornered in love (we are) underneath the night moving (along) everything i’ve know (you are) into a different light easy as they go easy as the sun will set tonight i don’t want to go easy as they go i needed more than you and i there is no balance in this heart there is no balancing your heart
5.
violent 03:44
the writing’s on the wall, hold me in your arms i know, i know we’re gonna fall into this violent world stay a little while, i’ll whisper in your ear don’t go, i know you’ve gotta go go go but violent girl you didn’t have to go you didn’t have to go bite me on the neck, i’ll bite you on your lips i know, i know we’re gonna fall into this violent kiss don’t say another word, don’t let it slip away i know, i know you’ve gotta go go go but violent girl you didn’t have to go you didn’t have to go no no no, no no no, no no no there is no balance in your heart there is no balancing this heart i know, i know you’ve gotta go go go but violent girl you didn’t have to go you didn’t have to go no no no, no no no, no no no no, no, no don’t fight it tonight, let go no matter what you do you know the writings on the wall
6.
silence 03:40
goodnight to a fever a lot to lose, careful to choose alone in a mirror cut the cord from your neck tell me who was left the silence is free in the air tonight sound the alarm face it all cut out your heart sound the alarm face it all carve out your heart some go mad, some die free the ghost of your former for the rest of your life, careless in the night alone in the shadow left unaware desperate to hear the silence set free in the air tonight
7.
wax wings 03:56
careless, crawling, losing it escape like a prisoner with new wings and another trick up my sleeve up to my feet and now i fly straight towards the sun and i fall into the sea carry me melting away with history carry me believe it common patterns alluded a straight line is not permanent a fast climb to a tailspin out this time we aim too high but now i fly
8.
let down 03:08
it’s gonna cut you open but you won’t even know you’re bloody and you’re broken keep coming back for more, it’s sick i don’t mind this station, i like being in control i won’t let you notice when my stomach's full ‘cause i just need a place to get high but you won’t let me touch the ceiling, no you you don’t wanna wait around if its only gonna let you down you’re like a baby crying when i hear you make those sounds and in the morning after when you’re calling off the hounds, it’s sick it’s not your scene, it’s your purity you’re like the morning paper delivered in my sleep but i just need these days to go by but you won’t wait for me forever, no you you don’t want to waste the night no more lies, no more deceit no more living in a bad dream i’m not giving in just to give it up no more believing in you i’m alive, i’m not a liar

open arms 03:40
that cocaine smile and your crooked heart it wasn’t good enough for you that cocaine smile and your crooked heart it’s never good enough for you you broke the rules became a fool those bad ideas that you’re wearing out it’s never good enough for you with drunken words you swore up and down this wasn’t good enough for you with drunken slur you swore up and down i’m never enough for you you broke the rules became a fool those bad ideas that you’re wearing now it’s never good enough for you look at you and look at where you came from you know you don’t belong look at you and look at what you went through i have open arms your cocaine smile and your crooked heart it’s never good enough for you your cocaine smile and your crooked heart

standing 03:32
the weights that slow you down are self imposed, not tied on they’re leading you through the empty doors what have they done for you? i’m still learning everyone was i wrong for you? how could i learn anymore if i’m still standing no brakes to slow you down from these empty roads, you walk on they’re leaving you full of empty hope what have they done for you? i’m still learning everyone were they wrong for you? how could i learn anymore if i’m still standing all the world outside won't wait for you the wheels are turning we’ve all promised not to talk for you the fields are burning no way to slow you down the sun will shine through the walls you build then turn you around all the world outside won't wait for you the wheels are turning we’ve all promised not to talk for you the fields are burning i wanna lay myself beside you i wanna take your photograph i wanna lay it down to show you how you laugh
11.
triggers 04:30
you could find a new release are you strong enough? we’ll talk about a new belief don’t give it up no matter what it is you do i will not stay mad at you i used to find a way to ease your shaky heart but now i trigger your disease have i gone too far? if there’s anything you want to do how could i say no to you on my tongue you can taste it it’s in your eyes we’re all alone and we can fake it just for tonight you can find a new release you’re pouring out your heart to wear on another day you can find a new release to cover up your scars there’s always another day no matter what it is you do... anything you want to do...

seasons 07:49
seasons won’t slow down good timing is simple it’s your call to grow older you wear it all on your shoulders and we’re starting to grow... brace yourself for the fall use the autumn to rebuild your walls hide yourself from the cold wear the face that shouts “leave it alone” it’s your call to grow older (the seasons won’t slow down) you wear it all on your shoulders and we’re starting to grow... rest your heart mine continues to beat right along as delicate as an acrobat as permanent as broken glass the seasons shift into the past the sun will set upon your back into the rain i’ll walk with you let down your guard and fade into the night the triggers that sound the alarms the acceptance of these open arms the violent acts you’ve taken on the crossroads that you’re standing on with your wings up to the light the silence never felt so right and now i know that we will never die alone the seasons are turning end our story but i will remember you
