I don't know what you doing for money.
But it looks like it's killing you.
It looks like you need a break.
Who's fault is it we've got nothing to talk about.
Maybe it's mine.
So I'll just be pacing 'round this room... room...
You've never been nothing but nice to me.
I know it's hard than it looks.
And no one wants to be that guy.
It's ok, we still have some left to drink.
So let's just do our best.
Just like we always do.... do....
Running out of answers is not easy for anyone.
But a guy like you takes it harder than he probably should
Flip through those pages. Read me the rules.
Sometimes it's ok to lose.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way.
I must admit you've got a lot on your plate.
Running out of answers is not easy for anyone.
But a guy like you takes it harder than he probably should.
Throw away those pages. Forget the rules.
What's more revealing than what we choose.

Golden Pharaohs
04:23

Golden pharaohs act so careless.
And skip along the corridor
Not knowing what we have in store.
Golden pharaohs try to scare us.
But hide behind their tagged up walls
Forgetting why they're there at all.
We all learn not to stare up at the sun.
But there's always one.
They seem to think that their braid won't come undone.
That they're not one of us.
Golden pharaohs act so famous.
They think we sing their name in praise
But we're really counting down their days.
We all learn not to stare up at the sun.
But there's always one.
They seem to think that their braid won't come undone.
That they're not one of us.
Golden pharaohs are overzealous.
They laugh as everything grows darker.
While the shadow behind them grows longer.
We all learn not to stare up at the sun.
But there's always one.
They seem to think that their braid won't come undone.
That they're not one of us.

Can't Help But Laugh
03:22
|

|
I can't help but laugh. I can't help but smile.
You're feeling like shit.
Saying this better be worth the while.
You've got every right to say I hate you
Wish we were like the horses of the sea
I could take it from you. You could give it to me.
So long are your nights and I can't help you
If there's a light at the end of this tunnel
It seems so far away
But if I'm right, it's warmer than ever.
You might forget today.
Hold on tight, it's bound to get better.
So easy for me to say.
But don't lose sight, we're in this together
You just deserve a break.
A glimmer of hope is lost in the weeds
It's hiding from you but it's so clear to me
There's nothing I could say so I just hold you.
If there's a light at the end of this tunnel
It seems so far away
But if I'm right, it's warmer than ever.
You might forget today.
Hold on tight, it's bound to get better.
So easy for me to say.
But don't lose sight, we're in this together
You just deserve a break.
You never know, there could be a twin.
It'd be double the work and we may never sleep again
But we'll make it through because I love you.

My Sue

My Sue, how can I live without you.
My Sue, what shall I do without you.
The rain hasn't stopped.
The sun hasn't come.
This wind is so cold.
My body is numb.
These hills aren't as green as they used to be.
I walked down our path, down to the sea.
I can still see you sitting there perched upon the tor.
Your hair is blowing in the wing.
You're gazing on the shore.
You look just like an angel and float up to the sky.
I'm all alone, down again amongst these cliffs of white.
My Sue, how can I live without you.
My Sue, what shall I do without you.
My Sue

Do what you're planning to do.
Your words don't mean nothing if you don't follow through.
How many times we gonna go down this road.
It gets shorter and shorter and faster you go.
Hold yourself accountable.
If it's so damn easy then you're playing the fool.
You're overthinking every move.
You think you can see it but you haven't a clue.
Don't let tell you how to live your life.
You've got your problems and so do I.
I wonder who you're gonna call after this.
Better be careful, gonna run out of friends.
Do what you're planning to do.
Your words don't mean nothing if you don't follow through.
How many times we gonna go down this road.
It gets shorter and shorter and faster you go.

Perfect Candidate
04:18
|
|||
|
There you go again feeling sorry for yourself.
But nothing ever seems to change.
A perfect candidate for something you'd regret.
So come on man and pull yourself together.
Have you any shame? You've run out of things to blame.
Just smart enough I'm sure you'll think of something.
You're time is running low. It went faster than you know.
So come on man and pull yourself together.
You're fading to the black.
You're slipping through the cracks.
You had your chance.
You just stepped back.
You had your chance.
You're finally walking tall and with your ear against the wall,
You listen for the band but they're not playing.
You open up the door and find they've left to war.
Now you're searching for some crumbs that they ain't laying.
You've never swung an axe.
You're slipping through the cracks.
You had your chance.
You just stepped back.
You had your chance.

Goodbye Autumn
04:42
|

I went to write you tonight.
But before I do.
Before I spew out some words that come off to harsh.
I appreciate the things you're trying to do.
Though that letter lies deep in the trash,
I still have some things to ask.
Like when will I be involved?
Why am I last to know?
But I cannot argue and you don't ever know who I am.
This trail is covered in ivy that I was too lazy to trim.
Goodbye autumn, you lasted only a day.
There's still a few newspapers being read on the morning train.
When I see what they're reading its clear we're all bleeding.
Now look I've gone missed my stop.
Maybe we should just put in down and enjoy what we've got.
Enjoy what we've got. Enjoy what we've got.
All I ask is you don't miss me.
Drop it straight on my head.
All I want is a good night's sleep.
But we're all hanging by threads.
I hope we all realize there's no other place we can go.
I'll tell you right now, we won't want to walk down the road.
Goodbye autumn, you lasted only a day.
There's still a few newspapers being read on the morning train.
When I see what they're reading its clear we're all bleeding.
Now look I've gone missed my stop.
Maybe we should just put in down and enjoy what we've got.
Enjoy what we've got. Enjoy what we've got.

Beyond the Horizon
02:50

Beyond the horizon is more of the same.
More of the same.
You see the ocean. But it's just a dream.
It's just a dream.
Spend some time away,
it's the only way that you'll know for sure
There's not a lot at stake
And you'll be wide awake when the music plays.
How can I tell where the flames end?
Alpha centauri has moved.
How can I see my reflection?
With no truth.
Beyond the horizon is more of the same.
More of the same.
You see the ocean. But it's just a dream.
It's just a dream.
