Making Grey 02:46
Making grey out of something new Swim to the top out of the blue Never thinking of anyone but you The color fades from your new tattoo Bags under the eyes Cities population on the rise Loneliness grows like a reaching vine Making grey out of something new Letting something small become something huge Never thinking of anyone but you The color fades from your new tattoo Bags under the eyes Cities population on the rise Loneliness grows like a reaching vine Water lilies call out your name Picture of you hanging in a frame Never thinking of anyone but you Never thinking of anyone but you Bags under the eyes Cities population on the rise Loneliness grows like a reaching vine

There's fog rolling up there I see it through the valleys Rolling to a place So peaceful and quiet Rolling to a place So peaceful and quiet Rains falling up there It's true When I clean off the mirror I see you You're always with me where I go In summer sun or winter's snow There's fog rolling up there in the hills I see it through the valley Rolling to a place So peaceful and quiet Rolling to a place So peaceful and quiet When will it stop There's no way to tell I'm sure the flowers will pop if I see it through Can't be alone now Don't leave me out in the cold Can't be alone now Don't leave me out in the cold Maybe you'll see me again When the grass is green And you have shed your skin I'll be in the valleys and I'll be on the peaks I'll be in the valleys and I'll be on the peaks

King 04:12
I'm blind but I can see just fine I'm deaf to everything I don't want to hear I'm trying to understand the inner workings of my mind What's the difference between war and peace When all I want is to get some sleep King with a crown Keeps weighing me down King with a crown Keeps weighing me down Would you stop causing yourself harm If you believed it would do any good I know what you mean Don't know what it means Are we falling in love Or somewhere in between King with a crown Keeps weighing me down King with a crown Keeps weighing me down Burnt black of a moonless sky Recurring knack of things going awry You loved me way back then so long ago If I'm in the past you've got to let me go King with a crown Keeps weighing me down King with a crown Keeps weighing me down

Cloudy 02:12
Thought I had something to prove Turns out I've got nothing to lose Are you scared to be yourself? Are you here to please someone else? Clouds over hills won't you bring me some shade? Sun sizzled skin been that way for days Don't you remember our love for each other? Your sweet shadow casting over me No one ever wants to lose a friend No one wants to know whats at the end If it's your brain bringing you pain Go outside touch the dirt and the trees

Seasons change So do we Why are you still so blue It wasn't so bad after all It wasn't so bad after all Bluebird way up high Come on down sing us your song When you return You'll be who you want And I'll be there with open arms It wasn't so bad after all It wasn't so bad after all I would give away my last pair of shoes If it meant that I'd be with you It wasn't so bad after all It wasn't so bad after all It wasn't so bad after all It wasn't so bad after all

Dreams 05:14
Trying to leave back my selfish ways Try not to take things personally Try not to make it about me If I do this I'll be set free Cause it is you I see in my dreams In my... Cause it is you I see in my dreams In my... You are like a body of water I will shamelessly dive in Cold and refreshing on my skin I will shamelessly dive in Cause it is you I see in my dreams In my... Cause it is you I see in my dreams In my... You read me like a book That you have read many times through You can see I'm trying to improve Don't mean to focus all on you

I don't want you to love anyone else And I know that's selfish of me It makes me feel controlling Wind is ever blowing Please don't go back to the bay The feeling creeps in Every now and again How can I say I love you? How can I say I do? Without giving myself to you The morning makes me love you more and more everyday When night time comes I wonder if you're tired of me The owls are calling out, calling for each other And I wonder if you need more than I give The feeling creeps in Every now and again How can I say I love you? How can I say I do? Without giving myself to you The sky changes colors in a blink of an eye It's reminiscent of people too The day you decide to leave me Will be a day I won't take so well I'm trying not to day dream about the worst thing that can happen At times it feels unstoppable The feeling creeps in Every now and again How can I say I love you? How can I say I do? Without giving myself to you

It's Funny 03:30
Last I checked the foliage was good On the trees the leaves were red and yellow In just a week they have all turned brown And it's funny how things change So fast, I'm not so good with math As long as you're with me Things won't be so bad When we wake, I'll warm you up some coffee I'm trying to seem like something sweet When you say to me no not this week I'm cutting out caffeine I'll think it's funny how things change So fast Your motivation is unsurpassed And if you need to cheat Well honey that is fine by me As long as you're happy Things wont be so bad Walkin' down the street Passing our reflections On the buildings When you hand to me a rolled cigarette I'll say to you no not this week I'm cutting out nicotine You'll think it's funny how things change So fast I don't need any chemicals To get me through this life As long as you're with me Things won't be so bad
