Don’t Change a Thing

Let’s take a trip just you and me
And let’s pretend that we can see
The depth of time, the depth of space
And understand the human race

We’re on a trip that wont last long
Don’t be afraid you can’t go wrong
So take a breath and let it out
Slowly baby release your doubt

Chorus:

So let us set ourselves free
And loosen the chains that bind us to our misery
It’s so easy just to let the world slip on and away
And don’t change a thing

Let’s take a ride to the other side
A place where we don’t have to hide
Or be afraid to live as we
Feel as though we’re meant to be

I see the world and it sees me
I am confused but so is he
And he says to me don’t be afraid
I won’t forget your seconds here

Repeat Chorus

Moon Song

The moon is sad tonight the clouds can’t hide it pain
And all the anger comes pouring down as rain
Spinning far about with a flag that never moves
Cursing gravity but can’t escape its rules
He lights our night with purpose but he will never know
He’s just spinning all alone

Chorus

And that’s just one more reason why
You can’t escape this life
You gotta wait to find out when
You learn to fly again
And don’t you turn your head and hide
Don’t be ashamed of your dark side

The moon is sad tonight he wants to be alone
But he shines brightly though for those who love to roam
Spinning all alone he watches us at night
He tells stories that seem meaningless in life
But won’t you try to see he’s just like you and me
He’s just making memories

Repeat Chorus

Chorus

We Can’t Win

You tell me that you hate to be along
In the winter when it’s cold
When your soul unfolds
You tell me to come over right away

And I know that the world can be unkind
When there’s no one there to say hi
When you’re barely getting by
It’s nice to feel your warmth against my skin

Chorus

And we can’t win
And we can’t win
Sometimes words are tragic and the silence is a sin
And we can’t win
And we can’t win
And I can tell what makes you happy by your frisky little grin

You play the part of hero every day
Put on a mask a smile unfolds
Your bright eyes they’re filled with gold
I know it gets exhausting to play nice

You walk the streets trying to find some life
If things are as empty as they seem
This life might as well be just a dream
But when you lie beside me it’s alright

Repeat Chorus

You tell me that you want to move away
You don’t know why and don’t know where
Your soul is in some deep despair
You hear a calling you cannot ignore

So you fly around the world in a balloon
Spread your wings and find a home
Shed a tear you’re not alone
But for now let’s snuggle in the cold

Repeat Chorus

A Million Miles Away

I can’t tell if I really fell this time
I’m doing it for you
You’re doing it for me too
But right now doesn’t last forever

And I can’t forget your bleeding eyes
Bleeding pain, fantasize about better days

Chorus

And I want to see how we will feel tomorrow morning
You and me, we are free, free at last
A million miles away

And I miss my friend
We’ve reached a sort of end that’s always left uncertain
And I can’t tell what it is that I see
So I look inside, I look inside of me

And I can’t tell, and I don’t know
So I scream

Repeat Chorus

Addicted to War

We’re addicted to war
We’re addicted to war
The world is crazy and we don’t know what we’re fighting for
We’re addicted to war

We’ve got no money for education
‘Cause we send troops to foreign nations
Instead of healthcare we’ve got constant occupation
We’re addicted to war

Chorus

Mr. President, please don’t tell me lies
How does it feel to send young boys to die
For profits and empire
Oh please tell me why
We’re addicted to war

We’ve got no money to feed the needy
‘Cause those who run the show they get so greedy
They say there’s no money but on war we can spend freely
We’re addicted to war

Repeat Chorus

Repeat 1st Verse

Crazy World

This is a crazy world
It seems unreal to me sometimes
I cannot seem to find to truth
Sometimes I feel I lost my mind

The TV screen is glaring
And it tells me that my life
Is fulfilling as it is
As long as I sit by and watch is fade away

We live in some crazy times
Sometimes the world just seems to cry
Escape is appealing now
But it’s too hard to say goodbye

The TV screen is comforting
And it tells me everything
Is alright and forget about the madness
Cause this is the way that it’s supposed to be

The way we are living now
It cannot last for very long
The world’s self destructing now
And we still can’t tell right from wrong

I read the daily paper
And it tells me to be proud
Of the empire that I live in
And to praise the lord I’m not on the other side

The people are screaming now
And change can’t be too far away
It just stands to reason
That there’s gotta be a better way

I see the people marching
They are fighting to be heard
United together we can win the fight
And we can change the world

Softly Caving In

You play with a heart like it’s not meant to break
I try to pretend as though nothing’s at stake
But in truth I’m a mess and though I mustn’t confess
I’m a child for your love and your nakedness
And now why, tell me why

Tell me why are there clouds that soften the blow
Knock me on out so I never know
What becomes of this mess
What could possibly come next

I’m pale at the thought of you not there to hold
I’ve shown all my cards too soon now I fold
Now I'm left with a stare at a wall that is bare
I’m smileless and dry wont you please tell me why
And now why, tell me why

Tell me why is there life where a man cannot see
Sink to the bottom of oceans and breathe
In without fear, there’s no danger here

Heaven

I never knew I shouldn’t tell
I didn’t know how you really felt
I guess I’ll never know
Love it the only part that dies after all the many lies
About going to heaven

Chorus

Heaven, heaven, is there heaven
To rely on your needs
When you need someone to be there for you

You’re the only one I’ve ever wanted
You’re the soul that was really haunted
By the spirits of your soul
Now we’re both gone, I’m left alone
I wish that my love was dead and so
My wish is just to fly

Repeat Chorus x 2

Oh heaven, oh heaven x 2

Queen of the Universe

I want you all to me
But you are trying to be the queen
Not the state not the country not the world
But the corners of the space
With your wisdom and your grace

You’re longing to be free
But now you’ve gone and chained yourself to me
Not forever or an hour and a day
But I guess it doesn’t matter
Cause I threw away the keys anyway

Chorus

You’ve got my love
And you’re the queen of the universe
You reign from above
But being human must be such a curse
When you want to control everything
Hey baby, baby
We’re just a bunch of human beings

And now baby can’t you see
You don’t want to belong to me
Except for a couple hours every night
When you let me be your king
When you want to feel my sting

I guess this is goodbye
You’re going somewhere way up high
This is way too much for me to take
If we’re both made out of silver
Then a silver heart can break

Repeat Chorus

Top of the Mountain

I met a girl her beauty endless
Her soul too open to endure
And so I rendered myself helpless
And burnt the book the holds the cure

And I cry without shedding tears
In this room perfumed with beer
And I wonder if this wrenching pain
Will ever disappear

Chorus

And it’s difficult to notice
That the light is seeping through
And that beyond this avenue
There’s still a mirror
And there’s still you

And now it’s painful to just breathe in
When yesterday is still so close
So I guess I’ll run away for a week or two
Through a maze of blackened rose

I see my lady sleeping
She’s far too peaceful to accept
And I’ll be hunting for that cure again
This time I’ll mark it so I won’t forget

Repeat Chorus
