When there are times you cannot comprehend And life is like a road where you can't see the end Take comfort in the the joy of little things Ask life for more and then you'll see what else it brings Oh Patricia, Patricia you know There are things you just have to let go All the hard times will be over soon They'll run from you Oh Patricia, Patricia you'll see That your smile is a sign of relief And if you stretch your hand out to me I'll run to you There comes a time when we're all worrisome I think of all the things that I'll never become But when you think of all the privileges You have but never use, a brighter day will come Don't be scared Just hang in there I promise you're outshining all the rest

Halo 04:35
I said, "Well, look at that time I met you, we were dancing, love." You said, "You're cute" and my heart it jumped - I saw no need to stop dancing. We were surrounded by particularly strange circumstances in the dark of the dance floor when it crossed my mind: A halo! Is she angel? Is she angular? Who could know? Savior or executioner? We saw the turtles swim by and walked against the mid-day sun You said you're leaving on a plane to New York, that sounds like fun... Are you gonna bring your halo? By and by, through and through you are spectacular Spread your wings Could we fly into the future?

Let Me Down 03:31
I watch an open door and hope that it closes quickly I'm sending energy, the shivers down your spine Just when you least expect it, I'll know the nature of your crime I tried to call I tried to write It seems that by that time my chance had past And you were eating breakfast in my bed I'm writing down the words for you A letter like this wouldn't be so bad If you wrote it too A letter from you wouldn't be so bad The least you could do would be to let me down easy Just when I thought we were good You go and become silent It took a lot of nerve, which you must have in spades Just when you least expect it, I'll reach to draw the curtain I tried to care I kept an eye out for you And when I least expected, all of our stars came crashing down Yeah, let me down easy

Encyclopedia 04:52
You walked with me We're jumping off a ledge You hurt yourself What could we do? I'm thinking back to Wednesdays every week Eternal friend, your love is true And all the pieces of every puzzle wouldn't fit In separate worlds our hearts are magnets caving in Don't ever leave You talk to me You say it 'cause it's true Your voice is soft, Encyclopedia Impossible - a penguin and a panda bear I'll look it up and get it down It's buried deep somewhere And all the pieces of every puzzle wouldn't fit In separate worlds our hearts are beating in unison I hope I set an example half as good as you We all have goals... I'll set this one with you in mind I'm on a road Sun's setting on my left I know that I'll be with you soon enough

Black Cloud 04:00
Black cloud hanging over me I spill it all every time you even walk by me Indecision - should I stay or leave? I'm in my own world but baby only you can see What you want? What you really want? What you want? What you really want is a break from it all What you want? What you really want? I could be wrong, but I'm going absolutely nowhere What you want? What you really want? What you want? What you really want could be our little secret What you want? What you really want? I need a time, a place, and a twisted prescription...for change Black cloud hanging over me I'm nearly broken completely, watch my pieces bleed Helping hands pass me by like drunken high-fives Ain't no Christmas for me in July (a punch in the eye) What you want? What you really want? What you want? What you really want is a cure for it all What you want? What you really want is a cold compress or a warm, smoking gun What you want? What you really want? A little credit would be nice What you want? What you really want? I need a time, a place, and a deadly prescription Now what you want from me, babe? I know you know But you say a lady never tells So what you want from me? A permanent vacation?

If you wanna go out and face the day We could have some fun, there's a million ways But oh oh, oh oh, I'm in love with the sun Oh oh, oh oh, everyone is in love with the sun I see you in the morning You're holding something back When time is of the essence I'll be serious as a heart attack You meet us in the evening Explaining where you've been You're throwing quite a tantrum My temper's wavering Invited to your kingdom Expecting servitude We put up with your bullshit But you ain't got a clue And I won't be your fool No, I won't be a fool

Ashes 05:33
When I ask "Is everything all right?" The question you should hear is "Where the hell were you last night?" You've been going through the motions You say "Put it on my tab" But something's got to give, kid It's becoming quite a drag But you choose to ignore me You've been fumbling through a day job All you've got is dust Sometimes you get so serious like it's fight tonight or bust Are you planning out a planet? Do you even have a plan? One surefire enough to put a paycheck in your hand? Ashes You're pure and on repeat More bitter than sweet Ashes You're hanging by a string Always ever-trying to compete for my attention I gave you one more chance and then half a dozen more Is it me or you or everyone? Has your life become a chore? Started looking toward the stars for help They listen more than speak You got cozy with yourself and now the future's not so bleak You don't even know Something's got to go And in the end What comes around keeps coming
