1. BREATHE (2 AM)
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season"
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist,
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year."
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.

2. FOREVER LOVE [DIGAME]
On the ground
With my world
Upside down
I got a vision of your face
And I must get me out
For so many memories we've yet to make
God don't send to me your angels
I just wanna hear you say again
Forever love
Say you'll love
Digame, Digame
Tell me so
I can hold you in my soul
If I go
I'll know
When you smile
With those eyes
Baby it's like
You place a finger on my heart
And your lips next to mine
Make me think that maybe heavens where you are
God don't send to me your angels
I just wanna hear you say again
Forever love
Say you'll love
Digame, Digame
Tell me so
I can hold you in my soul
And if I go
I'll know
La la la la...
Forever love
Say you'll love
Digame, Digame
Tell me so
I can hold you in my soul
And If I go
I know
Forever love
Say you'll love
Digame, Digame
Tell me so
I can hold you in my soul
And if I go
I'll know

3. DRINK ME
Talk about the weather
Will you miss me ever?
Lately I'm obsessed
And I need the rest
I hope that you're impressed
But she's so pretty, I'm jealous
And she's lost like Alice
In a painted past
In a looking glass
I see me looking back
I'll take another Drink Me, baby
Slowly, I'll disappear
And wear my life like a barbed wire necklace
So let's play truth or dare
So you're a fan of Coltrane
I wanna be Curt Cobain
When the truth gets scary
I'll take my gin and cherry
And some Drink Me they'll be
Plath and Joplin whispers writing suiciders
Kennedy and Monroe come to see my rock show
I'll be there in the front row
I'll take another Drink Me, baby
Slowly, I'll disappear
And wear my life like a barbed wire necklace
So let's play truth or dare
And I won't be around to play your games
There will come a day when you won't know my name
And I'll get smaller with
Every swallow you'll
Wait tomorrow and things won't be the same
Talk about the weather
Will you miss me ever?
Lately I'm obsessed
And I need the rest
I hope that you're impressed
'cause I need the rest
And my head's a mess
I need the rest
I need the rest
I need the rest

4. SHINE
Oh the night, makes you a star
And it holds you, cold in it's arms
You're the one to whom nobody verses "I love you",
Unless you say it first
So you lie there, holding your breath
And it's strange, how soon you forget
That you're like stars,
They only show up when its dark,
Cause they don't know their worth
And I think you need to stop following misery's lead
Shine away, shine away, shine away
Isn't it time you got over
How fragile you are?
We're all waiting
Waiting on your supernova
Cause that's who you are
And you've only,
Begun to shine
There are times when,
The poets and porn stars align
And, you won't know who to believe in,
Well that's a good time to be leaving
And the past knocks on your door
And there's stones at your window
At four in the morning
Well maybe, he thinks its romantic
He's crazy
But you knew that before
And I think you need to stop following misery's lead
Shine away, shine away, shine away
Isn't it time you got over
How fragile you are?
We're all waiting
Waiting on your supernova
Cause that's who you are
And you've only,
Begun to shine
Yeah, you've only begun to shine
Won't you shine, shine, shine, shine over shadow (oh, oh)
Shine, shine, shine, shine over shadow (oh, oh)
Shine, shine, shine, shine over
And I think you need to stop following misery's lead
Shine away, shine away, shine away
Isn't it time you got over
How fragile you are?
We're all waiting
Waiting on your supernova
Cause that's who you are
And you've only,
Begun to shine
Yeah, you've only begun to shine
Yeah, you've only begun to shine

5. MORE THAN A MELODY
Hey Mr. Love I've been singing and still
There's a hole in my heart only a man can fill
But he's had a blistered love and we're sharing a bed
And he's not in a state to be readily left in my hands
In my hands, in my hands, in my hands
Hey love, live it up
Cuz I'm getting closer
And I want love, give it up
This poetry and prose and words are not enough
Cuz you're more than melody to me...I think
So morning come and I'm nervously clad
In these sheets not my own and these hands where they don't belong
And I'm all but a victim in my prison head
I should run for my gun but I'm lying instead in your hands
In your hands, in your hands, in your hands
And you say hey love, live it up
Cuz I'm getting closer
And I want love, give it up
This poetry and prose and words are not enough
Cuz you're more than melody to me...I think
And holding out our hands before us
All the world will love and whore us
My heart, oh Lord, is in your hands
In my hands, in your hands
In my hands in your hands
In my hands, in your hands
In my hands, in my hands, in my...
Ooohhhh, yeah
Hey Mr. Love, I'm too tired to sing but he is more than melody to me

6. BLEED
Well, it's been almost a year to the moment
When I finally realized it was over
And I knew that love wasn't good enough
Of a reason for me to stay
Well, I saw you yesterday; you were drivin'
And I tried so hard to forget
You were alive, and as you passed by I began to cry
Over things that I did not say
And hide underneath my blankets and sheets
I'm finally free
I'm killin' the ghost of you, and I'm close to
Awakening me
Yeah, yeah
So I'm takin' my heart and I'm gettin' me out
And love's something that I wouldn't wanna live without
So I'm takin' my heart and I'm gettin' me out
On my own, my own, my own
Well, it takes all of my strength to be stable
And I force your insults under the table
And if you were wise you would compromise
And allow me to live my way
'Cause I am not a force to be reckoned with
And you don't have a clue what you're messin' with
And you can't see to the best in me
'Cause it's more than your heart can take
And hide underneath my blankets and sheets
I'm finally free
I'm killin' the ghost of you, and I'm close to
Awakening me
I'm awakening me
I'm awakening me, yeah
I'm awakening me
So I'm takin' my heart and I'm gettin' me out
And love's something that I wouldn't wanna live without
So I'm takin' my heart and I'm gettin' me out
On my own, my own, my own
I'm takin' my heart and I'm settin' you free
And, baby, now you're just another song to me
And the edge of your sword isn't sharp enough for me
To bleed
Na na na na...

7. CONSIDER THIS
I've tripped again and things are starting to get interesting
Don't give me choices cause I can't decide
My mind is soaked in words
I've come to terms with all my insecurities
And purity's no friend of mine
And dreaming doesn't do no good
Cause I don't wanna lie
That I'm okay and I'm alright
I'd rather take it and forget it
Consider this a warning
Cause I'll start another fight
And you'll say its all alright
I'll wait for the day when you find I'm too much for you, baby
So lay your hands over me
And feel what you only see
But don't bother wasting your time if you're trying to change me
You're kinda cool but I know better than to break the rules
Of messin' with a lesson that I'll never learn
I'll go from bad to worse and later back to better
But I'll never better bridges that I'm bent to burn
And dreaming doesn't do no good
Cause I don't wanna lie
That I'm okay and I'm alright
I'd rather take it and forget it
Consider this a warning
Cause I'll start another fight
And you'll say its all alright
I'll wait for the day when you find I'm too much for you, baby
So lay your hands over me
And feel what you only see
But don't bother wasting your time if you're trying to change me
This is a warning
This is a warning
This is a warning
And dreaming doesn't do no good
Cause I don't wanna lie
That I'm okay and I'm alright
I'd rather take it and forget it
Consider this a warning
Cause I'll start another fight
And you'll say its all alright
I'll wait for the day when you find I'm too much for you, baby
So lay your hands over me
And feel what you only see
But don't bother wasting your time if you're trying to change me
If you're trying to change me
If you're trying to change me

8. IN THE ROUGH
You say you fell while holding diamonds in your hands
'It's your fault for running, holding diamonds,' I said
And I offer no sympathy for that
I hear that it was you who died alone
And I offer no sympathy for that
Better off I sparkle on my own
And someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough
I turned around 3 times and wound up at your door
Now you say you know all you did not know before
And I offer no sympathy for that
I hear that it was you who died alone
And I offer no sympathy for that
Better off I sparkle on my own
And someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough
I got your love letters
I threw them all away
And I hear you think that I'm crazy
I'm driving 95
And I'm driving you away
And I shine a little more lately
Someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough
Someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough
I shine a little more lately

9. BREAKING THE GIRL
I am a man cut from the know
Rarely do friends come and then go
She was a girl, soft but estranged
We were the two, our lives rearranged
Feeling so good that day
A feeling of love that day
Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else
Raised by my dad, girl of the day
He was my man, that was the way
She was a girl, left alone
Feeling the need to make me her home
I don't know what, when or why
The twilight of love had arrived
Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else
I don't know what, when or why
The twilight of love had arrived
Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else

10. SATELLITE
Black and blue I chose my wave
I, the candid castaway
In a way delayed by one more broken season
To find reason for appeasing you and
So I found my guiding light
Lambent, flashing red and white
Through a starry night I'm better nowhere-bound
Than drowning on your solid ground
Satellite, save my life
I'm wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
A whisper on a two-way radio
Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhhhh
All in all I fare the same
Wishing on an airplane
As calling stars by name
A lonely song of freedom rings
In hope of someone listening and
So I send my feeble flare
Through the silent arctic air
Heading anywhere
Until at last I've finally found
A place to lay my anchor down
Satellite, save my life
I'm wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
You never know never never
Heaven help me I'm
Drowning and I can't save me
Send some salvation
To keep me alive
Satellite, save my life
I'm wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
Satellite, save my life
I'm wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
A whisper on a two-way radio
Ahhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhh
