Everyone keeps asking me what it feels like Asking how I know when it feels right It's hard to find the words to explain But it feels like a cause I believe in Oh no You're making me feel like I've become One of those kind of guys, that is not me I really wanna say, hey wait hold on It's troubling people can be so trusting Maybe my shield's a little rusty I can't take another disgrace Because it's all wrapped up in this one Oh no You're making me feel like I've become One of those kind of guys, that is not me I really wanna say, hey wait hold on For too long I've been alone, can't mess up this one I'm not the kind guy to give up easily I really wanna say... Just look at my face and look in my soul As long as I'm with you I'll never feel alone Just look at my face and look in my soul I'm used to the lacking of someone else here It's hard to come back from after all those years I'm trying my best to fit in But I have a small range of emotions

Like That 03:38
You know I can't see Can't see the mirror or the windscreen Can't see the warning or the red light Guess I may be a little uptight I'm gettin' no sleep No sleep can lead to other bad things Like missing all the signals you send Then I can't tie up any loose ends You know I try To make you feel good Let me know why You would wanna do me like that Don't do me like that It feels right You make me feel good Let me know why You would wanna do me like that Don't do me like that You know I can't speak Can't speak to what all of the others think Can't speak to what the others feel like But I'd guess that they're feelin' alright Still gettin' no sleep No sleep can lead to other bad things Like missin' all the signals you send Maybe I'll catch up on the weekends

I can't believe that it's coming back It's like an ancient dream that had fallen asleep And I can't believe that it's coming back It's like an old flame burning away And I can't believe that it's coming back We all thought it was lost in the jungle And I can't believe that it's coming back We all though it had died in the trenches Are you hear with me? Are you healing me? Better than ever Livin' a dream, can you wake up? Are you hear with me? Are you healing me? Out of the rubble and on your feet Back in the swing of things, the slow release Make me remember and entity A different kind of machine maneuvering Business and pleasure through circuitry Until the bell rings irreverently Inching your way in eventually Still can we salvage a little dignity? Are you hear with me? Are you healing me? Better than ever Livin' a dream, can you wake up?

It's all wrong, but you're right Your crutch and your spite It's too much, it's too tough You don't feel good enough I know I'd feel the same I know how much you gave I know I'd feel the same I know how much you paid You stand tall, you talk tough You go make your own luck Don't get down or give up You heed what you love I know I'd feel the same I know how much you gave I know I'd feel the same I know how much you paid It's all wrong, but you're right Your touch and your fight

Away 03:36
If you're thinking of leaving, you're in the right place Readjusting your visual frame to a constant state Struggling to see this old flirtation game Triggering associations, slight delay Changing roles, friend or foe before we overheat On the verge emerging sense of urgency Is it a dream, a nightmare, is it fantasy? In fits and starts, we'll play the part until clarity We'll take the bait and imitate almost every scene Off the charts back at the start, triumphantly Away

It Happens 03:37
Woke up this morning With the Sunrise Rolled over this morning To my Surprise Would I believe it if it happened? Don't want to believe it but it happened Call of the folks Cause I don't feel right Not gonna be falling Asleep tonight Would I believe it if it happened? Don't want to believe it but it happened Ooh, what have I done? Where can I run to? Looked out the window To my surprise Not gonna be saying All my goodbyes Would I believe it if it happened? Don't want to believe it but it happened When I believe it, it happens Don't want to believe it but it happens Ooh, what have I done? Where can I run to?

What If? 04:12
Right time in the right place A word on the back of a blank page A last ditch effort to seal our fates in time A blind spot that's hard to reach A tear in the fabric of history And this is the struggle for memory and What if there was something we can't reach? Another set of words that we can't speak Something beyond our own dreams What if? This is where it will all take place Just on the verge of a golden age And then we're back to the old debate again There goes the neighborhood at the seems The fix is in if you know what I mean We jury-rigged the entire thing to win What if there was something we can't reach? Another set of words that we can't speak Something beyond our own dreams What if? Stop trying to untie this Knot is diversion Stop trying to untie this Knot is distraction Tip-toe through destiny You're hanging on by the skin of your teeth A slight suspension of disbelief in mind Old wounds surfacing The nuanced peaks and valleys The thread that's weaving the symphony in time What if there was something we can't reach? Another set of words that we can't speak Something beyond our own dreams What if? Stop trying to untie this Knot is diversion Stop trying to untie this Knot is distraction

We forced ourselves to discover Tunnels in time We have no choice but to recover Tunnels in time Water's flowing on the ground Wind is blowing down your house Trouble's growing from the south I believe in it

Through the glass Through the glass The dream runs parallel So can't even tell The dream runs parallel The dream runs parallel To all of us

Feeling 03:11
Call it old-fashioned or call it surreal Keep it inside all your worries and fears But that's just a perspective, a point of view Nobody knows how to cope with the truth Hoping, dreaming holding you back Cause they won't let you in Holding, feeling follow them back But they won't let you in I don't know why I've been feeling this way Push me aside at the end of the day Cause it makes me feel like I'm one of you Makes me feel like I've got no more appeal Hoping, dreaming holding you back Cause they won't let you in Holding, feeling all the way back But they won't let you in
