There’s nothing to stand in your way
To be a bigger man they’d say
You whole days drowned in disgust
So leave while you can and come
Down here with us
Down here with us
Before we all turn to dust
And if you get stuck in your place
And the patterns won’t erase
I know that you’ll never give up
Believe that you can and come
Down here with us
Down here with us
Cause some things you never should trust
Some things you know you can fear
Some things you never should touch
Nothing is lost and the room is clear

I can’t stand when I hear my own reflection
And it’s right in front of me
It turns and turns and offers no direction
For every path I seek
But every little dose
Every little dose is all in my imagination
Now all day long as I walk in hesitation
And it’s only fantasy
It barley burns and offers no elation
And that’s just fine with me
But every little dose
Every little dose is all in my imagination
An order to rest is coming
Hide your own
I don’t care that they offer no predictions
For what will be will be
The words they say can’t conquer my addictions
And that’s just fine with me

I felt the salty sun upon my back
And didn’t even think to ask him why
Cause it’s a short embrace from a different space
And I wish I could stop on a dime
But only you can change my point of view
We get every warning ever time but why should we refuse
Just a taste of all it’s got to offer before our time is through
Its all been said before and I’ll say it again
If I get one more chance to try
Cause it’s the shorter days that get my praise
When I don’t need to bide my time
And only you should change your point of view
We get every warning every time and why should we refuse
Just a taste of all it’s got to offer before our time is through
And even though you never know just how you going to choose
You can take what you want when you know for sure
We’re never gonna loose
I felt it on my shoulders and I guess I don’t need to ask you why

You got more than you bargained for when you looked him in the eye
And wound up wine wasted luck had bled your conversation dry
With no air there your going pale but you know you’ve got to try
To scratch your way when all your sights are blurred
From every single lesson that you’ve learned
There’s no point you’ve heard them all
How some survive and some withdraw
From what we can’t control
Everybody had to laugh
You’re not the first and not the last
Who’s ever been alone
Strong stairs form you long haired chair but your shaken up every time
From some man who took your plan but he couldn’t take your stride
It seams there’s only one way down when your climbing up every side
And every single message that you burned
Could wash away the static that you heard
There’s no point you’ve heard them all
How some survive and some withdraw
From what we can’t control
Everybody had to laugh
You’re not the first and not the last
Who’s ever been alone
Even though you know the price is more than you will owe

I can’t hear that music playing anymore
Its been so lone but I remember what it’s for
All things new are out of tune with what was once before
So say I’m right without a fight and show yourself
Can you see them I don’t hear them anymore
Finally we have a moment to ignore
I’ll follow you through deeper blues that keep us from the shore
We’re all right and have the sight to show ourselves
And there ain’t no reason you should go away
No there ain’t no reason you should go away
Take this secret I can’t keep it anymore
Do you really answer clearly have it all
Watching you turn darker moods should keep me on the floor
Not tonight you have the right to show yourself
And there ain’t no reason you should go away
No there ain’t no reason you should go away

Knowing how it ends is such a shame
No way offered out can help restrain
The plans out in front of me
High roads covered in a melody
One look and I’ll get soaking wet
Don’t think why when all are quite the same
And only tied to orders in the brain
I know how it’s gonna be
My hands lockin up in front of me
One look and I’ll get soaking wet, soaking wet
I’m keeping it open
Whatever happens today
And taking a long breath just to blow it away
Walk so silent off the beaten trail
Comes to light when everything is pale
I know it’s gonna turn around
In my head I can’t seam to slow it down
One look and I’ll get soaking wet, soaking wet
I’m keeping it open
Whatever happens today
I’m taking a long breath just to blow it away
Don’t be surprised when all that you hoped for
Just gets in the way without a trace of pain
It just keeps coming back, it just keeps coming back
I’m keeping it open
Whatever happens today
I’m taking a long breath just to blow it away

Give me a push
Give me strength
Give me hope
Give me drags
Give me life and give me a role
Give me nights to never go home
Cause safety walls don’t mean nothing
Safety walls they mean nothing
I took you bet and I took your way
You took me off this lonely race
We don’t need help from above
It’s only love that keeps us in touch
Couldn’t I just get enough
Safety walls they mean nothing
Safety walls don’t mean nothing
It’s only life that your living
It’s only life and your gone
So don’t deny what your given
Cause you better be sure of what you got

All those yellow roses in a row
Keep melting in the wake of what we cant control
No more ways to get back once you’ve gone
They’ll be no explanation when the lines are drawn
If you know it’s time could you please slide over
And try just once to be silent
Somewhere time has frozen in it’s form
Just like a passing stranger waiting to move on
Take what you’ve been given and be strong
Seams every step you’ve taken is no surprise at all
If you know it’s time could you please slide over
And try just once to be silent
