Breathe

Breathe, pick up the pieces won't you
Reassemble the fortress defeated, the fabled virtue
Turn it on, Rise, Bring all your fire tonight
Give what you can
Yeah, you will see all these busted up promises
It's not just an accident, no this time it's meant to be
Turn it on, rise, bring all your fire tonight
Give what you can and that's more than you'll need
Reach, form, arrive in this double shell nucleus
Give what you can

The River

Maybe it's too much
You're the only one I'm thinking of
See, the water is just right and I'd like to take a swim alright
With the sun everywhere and blue sky in her mind
See, the river keeps going
I can see it for miles
Lets jump in and take a ride
Maybe it's too late but I don't know no other way
Lets paddle upstream so you can see just what I mean

Rerouted Negative Way
03:20

Drive down these roads , fickle and amazed
All these sharp turns, all these foggy one way streets
You can pump the breaks, you can put your stubborn foot down
It's just you in your way, not the factors that surround you
Rerouted Negative Way
Been driving for years with the same old rusty car
If you could just except why it has driven you this far
You can pump the breaks, you can put your stubborn foot down
You can turn it around or you can just keep driving straight

Danny's Doin' Fine

You're still awake and alone thought you feel like there's nothing wrong
You got a smile on your face 'cause you know good things are gonna come your way
Danny what's going on with you and the bad feelings you have gotten through
It seems like you've been reborn my friend,
become an optimistic son of bitch
So glad to see you're better these days
So glad to see you're doing better when you're living these days
You've been redeemed, got a stronger will
You don't give in, not a little bit
And though the time's passing by, you feel much younger at this age than you ever did
She said, "you got back to the way you were. you got back to the way you were when you were young and didn't give a damn."
So glad to see you're better these days
So glad to see you're doing fine today
Alleviated from the pain
You took a ride with a dizzy head but you're dizziness has ended
Alleviated from the pain

Shot Me in the Foot
02:52
|

|
I should have acted as if I wasn't aware
I should have acted like a fool
It's been a long time since I've had this feeling
Which scared me too but at least it was true
Being honest shot me in the foot
It's right there but it keeps on missing
It's right there and it seems so real indeed
I'm fully aware when we're rushing into these
It's fine with me
It's ok with me
I think I'm gonna need you maybe?
oh no
Hold on

Risk My Pride
02:07
|
|||
|
You look at me with those torn eyes,
then you kiss me
It's time that I risk all mine It's time that I risk all
Elyssa, it's whatever you decide,
but it's a chance that's worth taking
It's time that I risk all mine
It's time that I risk all mine
It's time that I risk all my pride

Finding The Beauty
05:46

So god damn excited and so god damn down
It's an ugly world but I'm gonna find the beauty in it somehow
Just a little promise that he will come through
And separate himself from all the bad news
Alone but he's still proud
Sometimes he wishes that they were still around but those,
Thoughts just quickly disappear
So god damn excited and so god damn down
It's an ugly world but he's gonna find the beauty in it somehow
He may have felt defeated though you know he didn't lose
'Cause they're all singing to themselves
In their heads, the sound of Jimbo blues
