Lyrics

“Fairytale“
Gallant and Righteous, Eloquent and Gorgeous
Oblivious to Reality as the Years unfold
You won't ever lose your version of the truth
If it's a fairytale you want, it's a fairytale you'll get
Once upon a time you stood me up
That's twice upon a time you let me down
I wait all day in a sparkling gown
With my hair up, my make-up, and my tinfoil crown
'Cause I heard my Prince Charming's making rounds
And I know someday he'll come but today must not be the day
Prince Charming called in sick again
Turned down his knightly duties tonight
Prince Charming called in sick again
Turns out he's sleeping at Beauty's tonight
Gruesome and Relentless, Egocentric Grump
Oppressive and Regretful and the Years have come and gone
Dishonest and unfaithful, kiss your lies goodbye
If it's a fairytale you want, in a fairytale you'll stay
Prince Charming called in sick again
Turned down his knightly duties tonight
Prince Charming called in sick again
Turns out, he's sleeping at Beauty's tonight
Once upon a time you stood me up
I shouldn't ever let you let me down

“High“
Captain, promise me that we won't fall from the sky
'Cause they keep saying that there's nothing wrong
But I can't see it in their eyes
I feel like a pretzel drinking $5 champagne
Forget your airline, I'm taking the train
This is way to high, high for me
I don't like to fly, this high in the air
I'm clinging to my tiny window seat that I can't leave
Killing time with boring magazines
That I've never cared to read
And I wish the sky would suddenly clear
I can't stand the ring in my ears
This is way to high, high for me
I don't like to fly, this high in the air
And I'm insecure once I get onboard
'Cause I feel for sure I will plunge to my death
Please don't leave me here where I can't walk on solid ground
Pleasant lady what are you smiling for?
Don't sell me headphones while I'm throwing up
High, high for me
I don't like to fly this high in the air.

“Happy“
Always wonders where to go
Lead nor follow he lays low
And he sings his song
'Cause that the only song he knows
Friends and foes have come and gone
While he remains where he'd begun
And he became withdrawn
Standing still while they moved on
He says, I wish I could live their lives as well
'Cause making up my mind is quite a hell
Is it left or right?
Should I step down or should I fight?
And if I'm wrong
Will I still be happy?
Is it do or die?
With salad or soup on the side?
And if I'm wrong
Will I still be happy?
He was taught to take it slow
And find those things that make him glow
But now he's seen it all
And he's got nothing he can show
He says, I wish I could live their lives as well
'Cause making up my mind is quite a hell
Is it left or right?
Should I step down or should I fight?
And if I'm wrong
Will I still be happy?
Is it do or die?
With salad or soup on the side?
And if I'm wrong
Will I still be happy?

“Everything“
Scented candles burn your letters to me
Leave a message I'm not here
'Cause I can't handle all that you bring to me
Every time I let you near
Over again
We're back where it ends
Everything is falling
And I can't remember why I chose to be with you
But then I come back crawling
Once the anger dies and I start missing you
Saw you waiting on that corner where we meet
I knew by heart the words you'd say
Spite is fading and I'm not sure I trust my feet
To walk away…
And over again we keep coming back,
But where it begins is where it ends…
Everything is falling
And I can't remember why I chose to be with you
But then I come back crawling
One the anger dies and I stars missing you
And if I answer, I know you'll say you want to meet
'Cause you're my friend
You were my friend.

“I Can't Make it Rain“
I see you out of reach
Even farther than before
I'm falling back 'cause I've been walking on sand
And my heart is sore
Even when I close my eyes they still resent the light
And when the sun is gone I'm left to bear a freezing night
I'll see you when it rains
I'll see you when it pours
Maybe this desert means I'm not made for you
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do
'Cause I can't make you change
Just like I can't make it rain
And I see it all go down
I see your love become disdain
I can't blame or justify anymore
I'm drained and I can't explain
Why even though I turn and see the sun stretch over sand
I still want to prove myself to you and where you stand
I'll see you when it rains
I'll see you when it pours
Maybe this desert means I'm not made for you
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do
'Cause I can't make you change
Just like I can't make it rain
But it's never gonna rain
It's never gonna pour
Living in a desert
Silly me to think it would
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do
We're never going to change, so I
I'll see you when it rains

“Hesitation“
Fate has laughed and sent me on my way
With no comforting words
I've lost, I've found, and yet I still remain alone
Draw the vaguest lines
Dragging my feet
Sending subtle signs
Wasting time with hesitation
Knowing that I hide 'cause I'm not afraid
I'm petrified…
Make my life a little more extreme
'Cause I need something to get me on my feet
So I can rise above this mediocre side of me
Should I go along?
Or should I wait for more?
Wasting time with hesitation
Knowing that I hide 'cause I'm not afraid
I'm petrified…
I try to overthrow what I can't control
All that's in my way
Wondering if I'm weak
Or just in too deep
Wasting time with hesitation
Knowing that I hide 'cause I'm not afraid
I'm petrified…

“Covered in Red“
They won't wear away, the last words I said
They serve to remind me of all that has changed
I hear nothing when I beg to make the slightest amends
Eventide sways in the back of my mind
Taking all you could carry, you left me behind
I saw your eyes completely filled with dread
Covered in red…
And it covers me as well
I see the pictures on the wall
They look alive, they look alive in a certain light
I think of all the ways that I pretend you never left
I think of all the brilliance left unsaid
Covered in red…
And it hurts for me to hold on
'Cause in my head you're dying
You're dying again…
Again…

“Fear Front“
Lead me to believe life lives itself alone
Just gotta sit back down and watch the world turn
Push me to my knees and say, “Don't bother standing up
'Cause in the end we all are destined to fall”
Take me by the hand and lead me nowhere
It'll take me awhile to realize you are holding me down
Fall for your disguise 'cause your ways are so effective
And I'm not brave enough to fight for my ground
Weathermen blame it on the fog
But I think this time they're wrong
I think it's you with your hand over my eyes
That won't let me see my road
But don't you worry about me boy
I'm staying right here where I am
As much as I hate to fear your storms
I'm too weak to fight them back
I'll have to say goodbye to my dreams and fantasies
I'll never risk a mistake when I know you're keeping track
One step at a time as I walk around in circles
But how will I go and run and move on when you keep making me look back?
Whether they blame it one the fog,
The forecast will remain
'Cause in the end you'll make the calls
And your calls will never change
Weathermen blame it on the fog
But I think this time they're wrong
I think it's you with your hand over my eyes
That won't let me see my road
But don't you worry about me boy
I'm staying right here where I am
As much as I hate to fear your storms
I'm too weak to fight them back

“Homesick Insomniac“
I lay awake alone
Just let yourself in 'cause my door is always open for you
Keep me warm while the night takes over the sky
And patiently wait for the sun to rise
'Cause I'm so afraid to sleep
I'm so afraid to sleep alone
Why haven't you come? Why aren't you here?
I need you so much it hurts to breathe
I lay awake alone
Blindly calling out for comfort to come help me get along alone
'Cause I'm so afraid to sleep
Without you laying next to me
And each time I turn I shed a tear
Wish my bed would hug me just the way you hug me dear
It's no use trying to replace
Your sweet caressing essence or your tender embrace
And each time I turn I curse my bed
I worry that I'll never ever see the sun again
Night's too long, you're too far way
Now I'll just have to lay awake alone
Damn sun why won't you rise?
'Cause I'm so afraid to sleep
Without you protecting me
And I feel so out of place
Surrendering to sleep next to somebody else

“Run“
Pain that I can't see
Truth that lies asleep
Love inside her head
Hate without a name
Run without sense
I will run without sense
From you
Faith is at your feet
Feeling obsolete
You can hear her voice
Lost without a choice
Run without sense
I will run without sense
From you
