I'll invest all my love in you
What once was darkness now feels more like the truth
Where do you go when no one understands
and life becomes one big joke... we all could use a hand
Where do you go when no one understands?
I'll forget everything someday
The only name that I want to know is yours anyway
Where do you go when no one understands
and life becomes one big joke... we all could use a hand
Where do you go when no one understands?
Nothing can change my heart
Knowing who you truly are
Words don't mean a thing
Silence can bring us so much closer

If I Could

There goes the sound of the stained glass cracking
I close my eyes as the light pours in
Yet to be found a truth my soul can welcome
with open arms and exclamation marks
If I could fall for an idea
I'd be in love almost all the time
What I would give for the gift of living with a child's mind
Let's have a look at the facts, long as we're still breathing
this life it seems has continuity
I try to sleep but my head keeps speaking
in dialects impossible to read
If I could fall for an idea
I'd be in love almost all the time
What I would give for the gift of living with a child's mind
Stopped by to visit at the hospital that day
walked down the corridor, I saw a priest
His breath smelled of whisky as he softly said to me
"Son it only gets much harder to breathe"
If I could fall for an idea
I'd be in love almost all the time
What I would give for the gift of living with a child's mind

The War is Over

Yesterday still haunts
Can't seem to move on away from the past
I promised it would change
and the more I think about it the more I understand
I can't count on anyone anymore
There's so much sadness in this world
and I don't know all the answers but I wish that it could change
There's so much madness in this world
and I don't know what I'm doing but I wish that you could stay
Every sight and every sound is telling me to turn around
and walk away from this mess
but darling I must confess it's been getting hard to breathe
when I said I would never leave what was I thinking?
There's so much sadness in this world
and I don't know all the answers but I wish that it could change
There's so much madness in this world
and I don't know what I'm doing but I wish that you could stay
I don't wanna navigate these roads on my own
I'll never (I'll never) leave you alone
So many obstacles out of your control
It's taken too long always the right place at the wrong time
There's so much sadness in this world
and I don't know all the answers but I wish that it could change
There's so much madness in this world
and I don't know what I'm doing but I wish that you could stay

When the mind becomes a court room
and the plaintiff doesn't have a case
So much time is wasted as thoughts deliberate
Some might turn to alcohol as others learn to meditate
Either way the war will carry on, so long as the jury stays asleep
When life becomes a question mark
and no one has a clue
as to what the purpose in any of the things we do
Some might turn to a friend as others search for their true love
Either way the war will carry on, so long as our hearts don't open up
Your pain could be so beautiful if it made you look inside
Love can be a perfect weapon when it forces you to change your life
Some might turn to God as others search for their own truth
Either way the war will carry on, so long as our minds stay split in two

Lights Out

Pay close attention to each thought wave as they pass on through
the center of your antenna
it should so obvious that only some belong to you
Pay no attention to the ones that have nothing nice to say
They are only words that describe a troubled mind
and in your heart you know that everything's okay
So turn the lights out
and burn a candle
Watch the flame as it dances in the dark
Maybe we should do the same
Drive without any music
watch the faces in the cars as they pass by
Some are overwhelmed by the weight of the world
it doesn't have to be such a sad sight
Smile without any reason
and all the reasons to smile will appear
When love is all that's left it will start to make some sense
'cause in your heart you know there's nothing left to fear
So turn the lights out
and burn a candle
Watch the flame as it dances in the dark
Maybe we should do the same
Did you ever wonder why
every day is slightly different but somehow feels the same
All that we consist of is a process of energy that's constantly at play
So turn the lights out
and burn a candle
Watch the flame as it dances in the dark
Maybe we should do the same
'Cause in our hearts we know that everything's okay

Start Again

Lately I'm a wreck
Pace back and forth with so many clouds caught in my head
Clear skies seem so far away
I can't remember the last time the sun could be seen
I keep coming back
The building's abandoned and all of the tenants have left
I scream but nobody hears me
I've been here before
As soon as these eyes open I can start over
Lately I am a mess
Bitter and jaded I can't get her out of my head
Patiently I'm searching for signs
That someone is waiting for me on the other side
I keep coming back
The building's abandoned and all of the tenants have left
I scream but nobody hears me
I've been here before
As soon as these eyes open I can start over
As soon as these eyes open up I can start over
As soon as these eyes open up I'll start again
