Come Around

You say you wanna see my heart,
Well it'd just bring ya down
You wanna know what makes me tick,
I'll let you know if I find out
You wanna see my hopes and dreams
Well they're too scared of everything
Even to consider coming 'round.
You wanna know my aspirations,
But I'll tell you now
When I was just a boy,
They all got lost and never found
But if I see 'em sometime soon,
I'll give them all the best from you
And maybe they'll see fit to come around
I wanna know what makes you sing
I wanna know what makes you laugh
And when the tears fall down your face
I wanna know what dries them fast
I wanna know what makes you run
I wanna know what makes you hide
And to hear the thoughts and words
You keep all bottled up inside
But if you wanna hear me singin',
Stay and sit right there
I'll shoot the words straight past your ears,
Notes flyin 'bove your cotton hair
And if you listen close, you might
Just catch a glimpse of what's inside
And who knows, maybe I might come around
I wanna know what makes you sing
I wanna know what makes you laugh
And when the tears fall down your face
I wanna know what dries them fast
I wanna know what makes you run
I wanna know what makes you hide
And to hear the thoughts and words
You keep all bottled up inside

Can't Be Me

Was it something I said
Made your smile so sweet -
Lighting brightly the room
Brings a dance to your feet?
No, it can't be me
Was it something I did
Made your laughter ring loud
Rolling over the hills,
High up into the clouds?
No, it can't be me
Not when everyone around me
Seems to sing a sweeter song
And the lies I've feigned all seem to fade
And vanish before long
It can't be me
It can't be me

A hundred years before, the grass was green
With springtime blooming all around us
With golden-tinted eyes I saw the world
As just a playground, bright as Christmas
Till the gold, it peeled to reveal
Hollow tin lies
I retreated and hid back
In my own mind
In my mind
So once upon a time I was a shattered soul,
A being of bare existence
Thought that ignorance and innocence both coalesced
To form this thing called confidence
So I spent an entire dark century
Biding time
As a guard and a prisoner
Of my own mind
Of my mind
And twice upon a time, I saw a sign
But made believe I didn't see it
Thought that anyone who loved themselves just didn't
Know themselves as well as others did
So I kept scraping and scrounging for anything
I could find
As the author and victim
Of my own mind
Of my mind

Light Burn Bright

When you're liking everything the same
And just take stock of what you've lost
There's a person here who hears you clear
And when you fear that there's no exit near
To take you 'way from what just
Seems to have you mind in a vice
And you can't get away
Know a light's still burning bright for you somewhere
Even when it might seem distant it's still there
If every song sounds the same to you
Each beat's a drab one-two, one-two
Just know that we've all been there, too
If every hope just seems to drag you down
If every promise has you bound
Up and hog-tied and tangled
Till you can't get away
Know a light's still burning bright for you somewhere
Even when it might seem distant it's still there
It's still there

Little Engine

chug chug little engine
gin, think you can think you
can take it to the tip
top, tip top before what's
up comes crashing down
down to the river take a bath
bath wash a-wash away a-what you once
applauded enthusiastically
what you once accepted as truth
as truth
what you thought you knew
know yourself, know yourself
self take some time
time to take a look
a look at what makes you wake
up after sunrise, rise
up meet the sky above, smile sweet
sweet feel the breeze
breeze a-blowin brisk
brisk through your locks
locks are unlocked as your
heart opens wide you can see
you can see
feel so free
rake a comb through your brain
brain have a gaze
gaze at what it drags out
out in the open fields there's no
secrets no hiding place
place your nametag in a box
box seal it up
up and drop it down
down into the ocean
and watch it fade slowly away
away
