When the clock strikes twelve, when it hits the fan, will you come around when the goings bad? When the only smile is the one you have, will you come around when the goings bad? No one like you could start a breakthrough, but you know you could be the only one to. No one like you could cause the tears to dry, but you could be the only one to try. I know its overwhelming you. There's nothing you could even do. So close your eyes until it's thru. Close your eyes until it's thru. You've done everything that's reasonable. None of this could be your fault. So close your eyes until it's thru...

Easy 04:47
You are searching for it. Oh, you hope to find yourself, when you know everyone, everyone else. Done, enough dividing. You were only made one time. Well, you know you're somewhere, somewhere out there, You can feel it. You're beautiful Oh, I hope you find yourself. You should know where you come from. Oh, God help you find it, help you find it. Oh, God help you find yourself. It is somewhere written down. Oh, and you could read it, you should see it. You would love it. Take it, put it in your hand. Other things can wait now. This is everything, identity, and it's so easy. I think that someone could just fall in love with you...

Blind 02:30
I really don't want to be the one to tell you this, to tell you this. And if I know you, and I'm thinking that I do, you want it less, you want it less. But somewhere down the line you decided you were fine. Oh, I think you're blind. I think you're blind in at least one eye, your perception running dry. And if you see what I can see I bet that you'd agree with me. I really don't want to be the one to make a mess, to make a mess. But someone's gotta do it and I think it's kind of stupid just to let it rest, to let it rest. But somewhere down the line you decided you were fine. Oh, I think you're blind...

Dream 04:39
Does it feel like morning's just the end to something that could be the best you've had? To something you could finally understand? Does anybody ever feel like that? It's just another dream at most, it’s just another one of those. It's just another one that died, it’s just another sacrifice. It's just another one that died, it's just another sacrifice. You could stop and wonder why, you could stop and wonder why, you could stop and wonder why. It's just a dream. Does it feel like morning's just the end to something that could be the best you've had? To someone you could finally call your friend? Does anybody ever feel like that? It's just a dream, you don't mean anything.

Who can stop the rain? Who can make it stand on the other side with the other man? Who can make the wind turn the other way, so my fingers numb and i can feel my face? Who can take the knife out of my hand before i hurt myself, before it cuts again? Have you felt this way? Can you understand? Like a sinking down or a missing friend? Who can stop the pouring rain? You can stop the pouring rain. No more cold, no more pain. You can stop the blowing wind, and now i feel the sun again...
6.
Take a look inside your heart. Is it still the way it was when you were young? Take a look inside your soul. Is it still a ray of hope when things are cold? When I was young, when I was strong, when you were lost I'd take you home. But now I'm just old and you're feeling cold. What happened to us, what happened to us? Take a look inside your heart. Is it still the way it was when you were young? Or does it feel like the road - it's never ending and we're going nowhere. Remember when we used to dream of all the ways we'd save the world from everything?

Manipulator 03:02
I think you ought to know by now, you play to win you work it out. So call them friends and take a bow. They'll raise their hands scream out loud. They'll name you king and scream out loud. They'll name you king at least for now. Scared, all you are is in their hands. You're afraid they'll see right through the clothes you wear. I think you ought to know by now, you never win, you're losing out. So make amends and take a bow. They'll raise their hands and scream out loud. They'll curse your name and put you down. They'll curse your name at least for now. Scared, all you are is in their hands. You're afraid they'll see right through the clothes you wear, and they'll laugh you off the stage. And then where will you be? Just an ordinary guy like me.
8.
You did what you did because you had to. You took what you did but they didn't know it was for love. You said what you said, it just stumbled out. It's not what you meant but it's too late now, so much for love. Oh so much for love and the warmth of it all, cause they came and they took you away. And you call out, and you call out, and you call out but they never come.
9.
The only thing, the only thing that money never buys. It's everything, it’s everything when it is on the line. It's imminent, it’s imminent. It's rushing in, it's breathing out, it's breathing in. No fighting it, no fighting it. Please don't leave me alone, please don’t leave me alone. Anything is possible. Anything is possible. The innocent, the innocent will die. It's imminent, it's imminent, the innocent, the innocent will die. It's rushing in, it's breathing out, it's breathing in. No fighting it, no fighting it. Please don't leave me alone, please don’t leave me alone. Anything is possible. Anything is possible.
10.
Brave 05:52
You're brave, you faced the sins of the world on your plate. If death had a hold you took it away, you took it away. Your name, it stains the lips of the world, Your face could light up the holes that filled me one day, you took them away. The world is big but so are you, so are you. The hurt goes deep but so do you, so do you. You ran through hell to pull be back, to wear my skin, to walk my path...
11.
Done 04:08
When I was young I thought that the universe revolved itself around my head. Now that I'm gone it looks like the world is just the same it was before we met. Will you remember me? Will you look back at me? Will you even mention me? Will you remember me, till you lay next to me? When I'm old will I look back and see that I was only wasting time? When I'm cold will it turn out the only life I ever changed was mine? Will you remember me? Will you look back at me? Will you even mention me? Will you remember me, till you lay next to me? Oh, I hope they write a song for you - that you're the greatest guy they knew - no one did it like you do. Oh, but if you ask me, I think i'm starting to believe this thing you're trying to become is going to end and you'll be done. Will they remember me? Will they even mention me?
