Family Tables

I find I’m welcomed in the dark
Theres no need to carry on
and this sentimental bull
that you cannot let go of
It won’t hold you up
And if it were up to me
we'd forget the memories
oh but then we're guaranteed, to repeat them endlessly, come on
Why can’t we move on
Why can’t we move on
Why can’t we move on
Shoot me in the sky
see how I can fly
I’m firelight bright
Watch me ignite
Put me in a cannon
and like a cannonball
far away I’ll go, away I’ll go
Well you think that I’m unable
to set the family table
Could you save a seat for me
and we’ll wait for company to show
But what if they don't
So what if they don’t
But what if they do
Just shoot me in the sky
see how I can fly
Like firelight bright
Watch me ignite
Put me in a cannon
And like a cannonball
Far away I’ll go, away I’ll go now
Shoot me in the sky
see how I can fly
yea like firelight bright
Watch me ignite
Put me in a cannon
And like a cannonball
far away I’ll go, away I’ll go
Oooh
Away I’ll go
Ahhh
Shoot me in the sky...
Just shoot me in the sky
Shoot me in the sky...
Just shoot me in the sky
Shoot me in the sky
see how I can fly
Like firelight bright
Watch me ignite
Put me in a cannon
and like a cannonball
Far away I’ll go, away I’ll go now
Away I’ll go
Away I’ll go now
Away I’ll go
Na na na na now
Ooh Ah ah
Oooh

Good Changes
02:49
|

|
Your body is an ocean
And they wanna dive in
but who is gonna let them
when you’re out of your head
No reason for emotion
it’s a sin in itself
Yea we’re a leap away from heaven
but we’re so close to hell
Where can you go when you’re so
damn tied down
Where can you go when you’re so
tied down
Good changes couldn’t save your life
An angel above would still be victimized
Choose your bed of roses and sleep easy at night
Everybody’s guilty, so are you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ohhh
Oooh yea, yea
The color of their sovereign
is a safire blue
and all of this devotion
ain’t directed at you
A leap away from heaven
but our foot’s in the coals
You know that heaven’s unforgiving
so just do what you’re told
Where can you go when you’re so
damn tied down
Where can you go when you’re so
tied down
Good changes couldn’t save your life
An angel above would still be victimized
Choose your bed of roses and sleep easy at night
Everybody’s guilty, so are you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ohhh
Oooh yea, yea
Tied down
Tied down
Tied down
So tied down
Tied down
Tied down
Tied down
Tied down
Good changes couldn’t save your life
An angel above would still be victimized
Choose your bed of roses and sleep easy at night
Everybody’s guilty, so are you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ohhh
So are you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oooh yea, yea

The Start
04:19

This isn’t a fire
but we’re drowning in here
Underwater
We’re doomed to disappear
There’s a sacred vow of emotion
With love and action
and we broke it
Yea we broke it
We’re too far under
to ever make it to the light
So don’t even bother
trying to save a life
We’ll figure it out someday
Cause where there’re a will there’s a way
And maybe it’s all just a taste
of everything coming
And don’t blame it on yourself
It takes a few to raise some hell
Maybe we’ll leave this all for someone else
and get the fire started
Oooh
Get the fire started
Yea
This isn’t a murder
I swear I’m dying in here
and it hurts so bad
to know that you cared
Then to change enough to open up
a doorway to hell
Well just leave there
Just leave me there
And we’re going under
We’ll never make it out alive
So don’t even bother
trying to save a life
We’ll figure it out someday
Cause where there’re a will there’s a way
And maybe it’s all just a taste
of everything coming
And don’t blame it on yourself
It takes a few to raise some hell
Maybe we’ll leave this all for someone else
and get the fire started
Get the fire started
We’ll figure it out someday
Cause where there’re a will there’s a way
And maybe it’s all just a taste
of everything coming
And don’t blame it on yourself
It takes a few to raise some hell
Maybe we’ll leave this all for someone else

It Must've Been Me
03:41
|
|||
|
The lights are down, I’m all alone
All that I’m missing is somebody to hold
I made my bed, I lost control
but now all I’m getting is it’s nobody’s fault
It’s my own, I was wrong
to let you in, then let you go
Love is lost, so you say
but how can it be gone, if it never was real to me
We gave it time, for this I’m amazed
It’s nothing you did, so don’t say anything
I wasn’t the blame, and this I believe
If it wasn’t you, it must’ve been me
Just stand you’re ground, you’re on your own
Never forgetting what it feels like to be alone
I let you down, so easily
with the purest of intentions, just let it be
Love is lost, so you say
but how can it be gone, if you never would feel it for me
We gave it time, for this I’m amazed
It’s nothing you did, so don’t say anything
I wasn’t the blame, and this I believe
If it wasn’t you, it must’ve been me
Don’t blame yourself
It was me all along
Don’t hate yourself
It was time to move along
We gave it time, for this I’m amazed
It’s not that we did, much of anything
I wasn’t the blame, and this I believe
If it wasn’t you, it must’ve been me
We gave it time
It must’ve been me
It must’ve been me

Bad Weather
03:44
|
|||
|
eeYea
eeYea
You can say you’re all about changes
like we’re trying to make it right
but you know that everything we’re saying
it’s a line
Tell me love is all you ever needed
like it’s everything to me
Open up your eyes or tell me I’m a liar
When we’ve fallen past belief
Oh noooo
Oooh
Oooh
You can talk your way out of a downpour
and convince the winds to change
But the deeper we descend into this open storm
you’ll begin to lose your way
Tired and I wanna feel a lot better
better isn’t all I need
Riding on the wind but then the bad weather
got ahold, ahold of me
Higher than I used to go, it’s so heaven
Heaven isn’t out of reach
Riding on the wind, then it hit again
It’s a long way down
Oooh
You can tell me all you like
then you’ll come to face it
that I’m trying to make it right
and you’ve
gotta fall to rise alike
when you’ve lost to bullshit
You can try
Tired and I wanna feel a lot better
better isn’t all I need
Riding on the wind but then the bad weather
got ahold, ahold of me
Higher than I used to go, cause it’s heaven
Heaven isn’t out of reach
Riding on the wind, then it hit again
It’s a long way down
eeYea
Long way down
eeYea
Long way down
A long way down

Tidal Waves
04:08

|
Well you got the cold feet for those Capricorns
yet they come and go like your daily bottle of merlot
Your heart beats, but it beats too slow
Too slow, oh no
Like everybody needs a little flame for their soul
Your flame is so long it just drags to the floor
You set the room on fire just to watch it explode
You can’t speak, no no no
I’ve got this tidal wave and it’s
a little bit too much to take
You ever feel alive then you’re dragged away?
I like to take a dive sometimes but I can barely breathe
I find some places suffocating
like it was made to break me
Well you feel alive then suddenly
you’re being dragged underneath by your tidal waves
Your tidal waves
Well you got to compete with those connoisseurs
It’s hard to get ahead when you keep hitting the floor
It’s like you’re never higher then they’re begging for more
Your heart beats, but tell me what for
Everybody needs a little flame for their soul
Your flame is too long and it just drags to the floor
You set the place on fire, just to watch it explode
you can’t speak, no no no
I’ve got this tidal wave and it’s
a little bit too much to take
You ever feel alive then you’re dragged away?
I like to take a dive sometimes but I can barely breathe
I find some places suffocating
like it was made to break me
Well you feel alive then suddenly
you’re being dragged underneath
Do do do do
you got the cold feet for those Capricorns
they come and go like your daily bottle of merlot
your heart beats, but it beats too slow
Too slow, oh no
I’ve got this tidal wave and it’s
a little bit too much to take
You ever feel alive then you’re dragged away?
I like to take a dive sometimes but I can barely breathe
I find some places suffocating
like it was made to break me
Well you feel alive then suddenly
you’re being dragged underneath by your tidal waves
Waves, yea yea you

|
Ohhh
Compound heart
We’ll take the long way home or leave it
back in the rear view mirror til it’s gone
Yea like the right way wrong, you got no choice but to
leave it all for the dawn
You know that they’re all begging you to stop
but you’re the only one that’s holding you back
You used to know everything you wanted
but now you just can’t seem to see past the mess
No you really can’t see the rest
You’re doing time now
in the confines of your heart
Getting wound now
cause you’re missing all the best parts
You can’t walk out, but it’s a thought
Yea you’re getting wild now just like you were right at the start
Like you were right at the start
Ooooh
If you can’t commit to it then leave it
back in the rearview mirror till it’s gone
Kinda like the right way wrong
you take what you seize , yea and ya… leave the rest in the dark
You know that they’re all beggin you to stop
but you’re the only one that’s holding you back
You used to know everything you wanted
It’s like you think it’s what you see’s what you get
You’re doing time now
in the confines of your heart
Getting wound now
cause you’re missing all the best parts
You can’t walk out, but it’s a thought
Yea you’re getting wild now just like you were right at the start
Ooooh
The start
Right at the start
Ahh
Oooh yea ah
Oooh yea ah oooh
Oooh yea ah oooh
Oooh yea ah ah ah
Compound heart
Your compound heart
And we’re doing time now
in the confines of your heart
Getting wound now
cause you’re missing all the best parts
Can’t walk out, but it’s a thought
Yea you’re getting wild now just like you were right at the start
Like you were right at the start
Hoooh
Right at the start

HEAVY
03:25
|

|
It still hurts that it’s heavy on you
It starts to feel like pain
A wild heart in a rage of old news
It’s more than you can take
All that you are, all that you are
The thought it’s crippling
Never enough, never enough
A heart needs passion too
You don’t have to bear this
weight of yours alone
Steady the road, as you
find your way back home
and you don’t have to face
tomorrow by yourself
I’m begging you please
settle the seas
before we sink
and drown ourselves
You still learn like you’re never used to
a life of old mistakes
Set course for a new life into the blue
You can’t make it past the break
All that you are, all that you are
The thought it’s crippling
Never reaching, never reaching
beyond your own bad excuse
You don’t have to bear this
weight of yours alone
Steady the road, as you
find your way back home
you don’t have to face
tomorrow by yourself
I’m begging you please
settle the seas
before we sink
and drown ourselves
It’s heavy
It’s heavy
It’s heavy on you
It’s heavy
It’s heavy
It’s heavy
You, you don’t have to bear this
weight of yours alone
Steady the road, as you
find your way back home
you don’t have to face
tomorrow by yourself
I’m begging you please
settle the seas
before we sink
and drown ourselves

Elite Dreamland
04:01

Here we go again just thinkin bout back when
it won’t ever fill a heart
even if we’re back alive there
and lately I’ve blown some time
it’s hard to cheat it
I’m locked down ready to go
to make another glitch… switch
Oooh deep down to the darkest parts
well you’ll never know down from up... where we’re goin now
To wake up on easy street
a one way ticket to how the hell I get back to me
Tie my heart to a runaway car
the last one leaves at dawn
but I don’t wanna leave yet
Maybe I’m the one to bring you down
like I’m a goner yet to be found
Here we go again just thinking bout the feelin
Maybe in a year from now
we’ll live in Elite Dreamland
Love somebody just to leave them on the back burn
If you’re playin Russian roulette
you gotta take your turn... oh yea
Everybody learns to play that game
but they load em all up with blanks
Wake up on easy street
a one way ticket to how the hell I get back to me
Tie my heart to a runaway train
the last one leaves in a day
but I don’t wanna leave yet
Maybe I’m the one to drag you down
like I’m a lost cause can’t be found
To say you’ve proved yourself to you
it’s just another thing to do
You’re bound to find another life out there
A dollar for a mile all you’ve got is change
and they wonder if you came to play
Did you come to play the game
Ooooh by the way that you’re feelin tonight
everything is gonna be alright
Wake up on easy street
a one way ticket to how the hell’d I get back to me
Tie my heart to a runaway car
the last one leaves at dawn
but I don’t wanna leave yet
Maybe I’m the one to bring you down
like I’m a goner yet to be found
Maybe i’m the one to drag you down
guess i’m a lost cause can’t be found
the way I’m looking down
No way I’m looking down yea
No way I’m looking down ohh
the way I’m looking down… looking down
the way I’m looking down

Half A Life
04:25
|
|||
|
These lips won’t speak
what my heart decides to leave
unspoken
My eyes won’t see what you’re hiding from me
This hell it won’t freeze
cause I tend to make friends with my demons
and my strength it’s my weakness
and it overpowers me, yes
Overpowers me
Half a life in the dark
I’ve been taking for granted
Standing up on the belly of the beasts I repel
All the way at the top
I’m breathing up all the air
I spared the light in the darkness
cause you knew me so well
Yea, you knew me so well
Good deeds won’t keep
all of this water from rising
Over and into my head, till I’m ready to beg
It overpowers me
Yea… overpowers me
Half a life in the dark
I’ve been taking for granted
Standing up on the belly of the beasts I repel
All the way at the top
I’m breathing up all the air
I spared the light in the darkness
cause you knew me so well
Yea, you knew me so well
Oh, you knew me so well
Yea, you knew me so well
Good deeds won’t keep
all of his water from rising over me
Good deeds won’t keep
all of his water from rising over me, yea
Good deeds won’t keep
all of his water from rising over me
Good deeds won’t keep
all of his water
Half a life in the dark
I’ve been taking for granted
Standing up on the belly of the beasts I repel
All the way at the top
I’m breathing up all the air
I spared the light in the darkness
cause you knew me so well
Oooh
You knew me so well
Ooooooh
Oooh
You knew me so well
Ooooooh
You knew me
Oooh
You knew me so well
Oooh
You knew me
Oooh
You knew me so well
Oooh
Oooh
