- Track Name: The Bells

Been running for a long time
The difference is before
I didn't have a destination in mind
Been pushing for a while now
Like a boulder up a hill
Some things that physics just don't allow
Take your coat off and take a seat
Take a good hard look at me
Are we where we're supposed to be?
I'd say but I don't know
Though I'm gonna make you proud you took me home
So let all the bells ring
I'm about to give you everything
The ultimate college try
We struggle to recall the reason why, so low, so high
Your demons were no match for mine
Now things are getting easy
You can sleep on whatever side you want
Either way you'll be waking up next to me
Take a deep breath and take a swim
Take a good hard look at him
Thinking maybe this might be it
I'd say but I don't know
Though I'm gonna make you proud you took me home
So let all the bells ring
I'm about to give you everything
So let me wear that ring
I'm about to give you everything
Come as you are as you do any way
I'll make us a house built for two like a fairytale
You won't have to find me
You know exactly where I'll be
I'd say but I don't know
Though it's true I'm gonna love you 'til you're old
So let all the bells ring
I'm about to give you everything
So let me wear that ring
I'm about to give you everything - Track Name: When I Sleep

I've been learning a lot about myself since I last saw you
When you let me off
You must have thought
I didn't feel a thing but it's just not true
I've been told that I don't tend to show much on my face
But you might have figured that
Just from looking at me
I was panicking but you probably knew
And I think we could've been
You're the one who put it in my head
Or maybe I'm just stubborn then
Can I be somebody else instead?
'Cause when I sleep
The story ends a little differently
I'm the person that you wish that I could be
Now I know I might have said a few things that in retrospect
Don't make a lot of sense
Out of self-defense
I automatically try to play it cool
I've since come to seriously regret my attempt to conceal
That I fell for us
You're oblivious
Wish that you saw in me what I see in you
And I guess I'm struggling
There's still something tugging at my sleeve
But maybe I'm just stubborn and
I can't find a way to disbelieve
'Cause when I sleep
The story ends a little differently
I'm the person that you wish that I could be
In the dreams I have I'm changing
But every time I wake up I'm just me
I would give anything if I could just travel back in time
Be whatever you wanted me to be if we could rewind
'Cause when I sleep
The story ends a little differently
I'm the person that you wish that I could be
In the dreams I have I'm changing
But every time I wake up
Still I try but I’m mistaken
Every time I wake up I’m just me - Track Name: Leitmotif
-
I'll admit
I am in disbelief
To find myself this naive
Hoping we might connect
Should just quit
Welcome the sweet relief
Cue up the leitmotif
Rather than be direct
Cause what's the difference between a whisper and a shout
When either way the secret's out?
So I hope we have both learned something
Maybe at least then
We'd be well-equipped
As for me I'm disappointed
But what can you expect
It's all in the script
Out of time
Prayed for some great delay
Leaned in and tried to say
I thought you were beautiful
Maybe I'm
Bad at the grand display
But why sing a serenade
When nothing is mutual
It wouldn't be fair to say I wasn't being clear
Without considering maybe you just didn't hear
So I hope we have both learned something
Maybe at least then
We'd be well-equipped
As for me I'm disappointed
But what can you expect
It's all in the script
With all due respect
It's just a mobius strip
What can you expect
It's all in the script - Track Name: Say
-
Face down
Blood stains on the pavement
Pray that you'll be craving
Everything I gave you
Now you feel bad
Listen, if you're sorry
Please don't just ignore me
Make it good and gory
When your heart breaks for me
Grace me with some glory when you crumble for me, oh
Say
"Wasn't I good enough?"
"Didn't I prove myself?"
So I can say no
Say
"Wasn't I beautiful?"
"Isn't it true you want me back?"
I'll say no I don't
Don't blame me for how you took that
How you didn't push back
Or the way you looked at me
Okay, maybe we're not sorry
Rotting to the core
We’ll make it good and gory
When your heart breaks for me
Let me write the story when you crumble for me, oh
Say
"Wasn't I good enough?"
"Didn't I prove myself?"
So I can say no
Say
"Wasn't I beautiful?"
"Isn't it true you want me back?"
I'll say no I don't
You know what you've lost - Track Name: If You Don't Know
-
Bird on a wire
Captured and tired
I need to sleep
Caught in the tide
Something inside
Making us mean
Enveloped by this beauty
Whispering words threaten to hurt us
All in the end
Tell me something happy
Tell me something brutally unkind
Just make me believe it
If you don't know
I don't know
Somewhere we fell
So sick ourselves
Poured gasoline
Gravity snapped
Blacked out the trap on
Cinema screen
The universe is curving
Ghosts of the past
Pick up the glass and
Try not to bleed
Tell me something happy
Tell me something brutally unkind
Just make me believe it
If you don't know
I don't know
Birds are caged
You're free
Don't think you need to stay if you can't breathe
Tell me something happy
Tell me something brutally unkind
Just make me believe it
Just let it die if you still want to save us
But if you don't know
I don't know - Track Name: The Wake
-
Too much, too late, so stuck
Your touch, not fate, it's dumb luck
I'd look anywhere but up
Sometimes be stumbling backward
With no crutch, walk straight
Too much but it's too late
I'd always listen to you
But you never told the truth
I'd always listen to you
But you never told the truth
This scar, your deal, you had me
No love, not real, a tragedy
You're a Hollywood disaster
I ran, I should've run faster
Fading like a fallen star
You hide yourself from you who are
I'd always listen to you
But you never told the truth
I'd always listen to you
But you never told the truth
What is there left to say
Was it a lot to pay
Letting the life we built unravel and decay
Are we not meant to change
Alter and rearrange
No that's just rest of us
