both ways

they told me something, it wasn't nothing I hadn't heard before
you wanted one thing, now you have it but you still want more
we want it this way, we got it now we want to turn it around
I'm tired of hearsay, you're better off if you don't make a sound
lies fly from all sides
it's really no surprise
so be careful what you say
you can't have it both ways
everybody wants to think they're right
ain't nobody going to win that fight

ignite the fire

there's a space in the way
there is daylight from the fire of that giant, bright star
somewhere else on the other side, the great mystery, silent sky
we crash while still in flight
we walk away for another day
where we won't say what we believe
we're always in reprieve
somewhere else on the other side, the great mystery, silent sky
we crash before we arrive
we crash and burn on insight
you have to tear walls down
and build them right back up again now
this time we'll add reinforcements for a better ascent
and enforce them
it comes and goes around
no more half measures allowed now
this time we've got to get it right
to ignite the fire
there's a space in the way
there is daylight from the fire of that giant, bright star
somewhere else on the other side, the great mystery, silent sky
we crash and burn then incite a riot
you have to tear walls down
and build them right back up again now
this time we'll add reinforcements for a better ascent
and enforce them
it comes and goes around
no more half measures allowed now
this time we've got to get it right
to ignite the fire

fade

so here we are
on this lazy afternoon we try to find the drive
don't look behind
keep moving forward, always strive
won't be denied
there's a crack behind the evening sky
a burst of light comes into sight
as the darkness is receding, fades away
and so we were in a place we did not want to be
so hard to see
there's a crack behind the evening sky
a burst of light comes into sight
as the darkness keeps receding, fades away
we try our best, but quitting comes so easily
just set me free
there's a crack behind the evening sky
a burst of light, blinding light
as the darkness keeps receding, fades away

I've heard a lot of words, they write a lot of lies
it's no surprise I've heard this one before
before I run right out of words
I hope that there's something else to learn
I feel invisible, but never alone
they say a lot of things
can't believe everything just because you read so
'cause you can't trust what was said so, I say
before I run out of words I hope there's something to learn
I feel invisible, but never alone
there's still so more much to see, I wear my heart on my sleeve
I'm feeling miserable, but never alone
there's still so more much to say, can't think of how to convey
I feel invincible, and never alone
they say a lot of things
can't believe everything just because you read so
'cause you can't trust what was said so, I say
I've heard a lot of words, they write a lot of lies
it's no surprise I've heard this one before

guess what I just heard
03:04
|

ever stop to think that you might bring with you disaster
every time you speak the words roll out like senseless chatter
it doesn't matter that you won't learn
what matters is who you hurt
and you just keep digging, you can't let up the next time
and you just keep digging, you can't let up the next time
and you just keep digging, you can't shut up the next time
with your guess what I just heard?
with your hurtful, empty words
it's the fall of all of us
and a call to readjust
I guess it makes you feel better about yourself
you're just as insecure as everybody else
and you just keep digging, you cant' shut up!

damn day jobs.
