I see the children laughing at me
They say I can’t be what I wanted
I think I’m losing, I’m swimming upstream
But I guess this battle’s just started
I’m hiding myself this morning
I’m not getting up, I’m not getting up
I’m hiding myself from the city
The city never stops, the city’s broken up
Can’t feel the ground under my feet
It feels like a race I am running
Against the clock, I’ve got to believe
What’s killing me’s worth leaving
I’m hiding myself this morning
I’m not getting up, I’m not getting up
I’m hiding myself from the city
The city never stops, the city’s broken up
It’s broken up and it’s falling down
I see no life in this dead town
It’s broken up and it’s falling down
See no life
Lies lies lies
I’m hiding myself this morning
I’m not getting up, I’m not getting up
I’m hiding myself from the city
The city never stops, the city’s broken up - Track Name: Numbered Days

When I saw your face and the tears as they fell down
When I saw that old oak tree, the leaves they hit the ground
When I first realized that life would have its end
When I saw the tears fall down the day you lost your edge
I don’t know what to say
Cause I can’t explain the reasons
I can’t explain the seasons
And things will come and go
Though we’ll stay on our knees and bow our heads to pray
There’s a number to our days, and that’s all right with me
Each one is a gift, and brings us such great things
Like the crisp of the night, or a sparkling champagne sky
For these I give my thanks, for these I wipe your eyes
I don’t know what to say
Cause I can’t explain the reasons
I can’t explain the seasons
And things will come and go
Though we’ll stay on our knees and bow our heads to pray
We live for this moment
One day at a time
We live for this moment
You’ll know that it’s right
I don’t know what to say, cause
Cause I can’t explain the reasons
I can’t explain the seasons
And things will come and go
Though we’ll stay on our knees and bow our heads to pray
There’s a number to our days - Track Name: By A String

Life has got you questioning
It's got you by a string
And you can't let go
While you're hiding all your dreams
In a diary next to your bed post
And I wait for you here
Oh, will wait for you here
And I will help you climb this mountain
From the shore of everything that lies below
And I will help you rise beyond the
Storm that is a life that holds you down for more
Cry yourself to sleep at night
A somber lullaby is ringing on
Can it really be that this is where it leads
Hiding the dreams that come?
And I wait for you here
Oh, will wait for you here
And I will help you climb this mountain
From the shore of everything that lies below
And I will help you rise beyond the
Storm that is a life that holds you down for more
Could it come true
What's in that little notebook?
Spiral-bound pages you keep far from the world
All of your hopes, please tell me what did you write
In blue lines on white
And I will help you climb this mountain
From the shore of everything that lies below
And I will help you rise beyond the
Storm that is a life that holds you down for more - Track Name: Haunted

The cracks in my skin are like cracks in the floor
Been waiting all year, I’ll be waiting some more
I sit here and think of the summer we had
The winter is cold
The winter is black
And I
I’m haunted
And I
I want you
Hundreds of miles of falling apart
I’d give anything to go back to the start
Hundreds of miles but less than a day
To just hear your voice
To just see your face
And I
I’m haunted
And I
I want you
You’re in my head
I can’t escape it
My mind’s eye has left me dry
The sun can (will) rise on new tomorrows
But can I stand another day? - Track Name: Losing To Win
-
Look from other angles to your eyes
To see the thoughts you try to hide
The pressure rises, you slip away
Hiding memories to mask your pain
It won’t be long now
Your hurt becomes too much to bear
And I can see inside you
Through the veil, the smile you wear
I’ve been on the fence a time or two
And jumping off was hard to do
I can see you’re there and you’re looking back
Hoping your future meets your past
It won’t be long now
Your hurt becomes too much to bear
And I can see inside you
Through the veil, the smile you wear
Shattered dreams of a future untold
What you once were sure of is now on hold
Across the table with a glossy stare
Looking for answers that won’t be
It won’t be long now
Your hurt becomes too much to bear
And I can see inside you
Through the veil, the smile you wear
You’re cheating yourself
You’re losing to win
You’re losing your grip
And it’s so useless - Track Name: Paintings
-
You tell me you’ve lost all your dreams
You tell me you don’t believe
You tell me that you’re growing old
You tell me your story’s been told
And I
I don’t believe
We are paintings on a wall
We can’t get down to break your fall
But we see you from behind our painted eyes
Lines and colors, you won’t recognize
And I
I don’t believe
You’re kissing dreams away
Shutting curtains on your stage
But tell me is this what you call growing old?
