A penny for the thoughts That jingle in your head A quiet man that holds a raging war within (What can I do, what have I done?) Less than pleased He was a hedge between his heart And everything that tried to help him from the start (What can I do, what have I done?) You don't have to hold that burning tree anymore You held on so long and now it's burning me To hold that burning tree let it go I'll be holding on until they bury me I see a woman shaking on the ground Her knees are to her chest I hear her crying out (What did he do, what has he done?) We tried to stop her tears still further down She goes into her greatest fear to live this life alone (What did you do, what have you done?) I see the light it's up ahead and coming for me I call your name you're on the way and looking for me Just pull yourself together / temporary strife Where is it now that ball and chain that dragged you down? I see the light it's up ahead and coming for me What can we do what have you done? No penny for your thoughts No jingle in your head A quiet man no longer waging war within (What did you do, what have you done?) Less than pleased he was a hedge between his heart And everyone that tried to help him from the start (What did you do, what have you done?) You don't have to hold that burning tree anymore You hold on so long and now it's burning me To hold that burning tree let it go I'll be holding on until they bury me Turning of a key into another world Your body floats past my eyes I'll never see your face again I think I hear that jingle in your head A penny for every time Those coins, a mountain by my side

Don't know where I'm running There's nowhere to hide You were never really innocent But you were given the gun That levee is breaking That mountain too high You were never really innocent But you were given the gun You were given the gun We were given the gun We were given the gun You were given the... That morning was dreadful Your fifty pills in the wall You were never really innocent But you were given the gun That morning was dreadful And you were never around You were never really innocent I want your life back Lose that wall And who's to blame? You're gonna tell 'em what they wanna hear When you lose that tongue Don't know where I'm runnin' There's nowhere to hide Then my father found suicide And you were never around You were never really innocent But you were given the gun That morning was dreadful Your fifty pills in the wall You were never really innocent I want your life back Lose that wall And who's to blame? You're gonna tell 'em what they wanna hear When you lose that tongue Don't know where I'm running There's nowhere to hide We were never really innocent But we were given the gun You were given the gun We were given the gun Will we give in?

When will you learn that the things that you want They won't always be there for you? And when will you see that the world spinning round Doesn’t spin for the sake of you? Please try to hear me While I’m speaking clearly I’m saying goodbye for good You tied my hands You tied my hands for so long [Verse 2} Woke up with a feeling Your energy reeling Me into your magic spell A poisonous serpent A self-serving servant And kissed by the king of hell Forever lurking Repeatedly jerking My head and my heart around You tied my hands You tied my hands for so long I filled up my bags with the things that you said I lean on the door and take one look back Nothing feels good here You’re happy with that (I won’t ever change) Your hand on my shoulder it shakes me at night Head uphill and backwards to save you in life Untie my hands Untie my hands I’m done Cut that line and walk away Slap my face to stay awake Don’t be fooled it’s still the same Tie that ribbon on your finger You and me, me and you, babe Things won’t ever be that way Me and you, you and me, babe Watch out for that grave Hands are out and open holding nothing now Nothing here to stop me Nothing holds me down Something else will come Come along, and when it does Take my hand and dance with me My hands are open now

I don’t want to walk familiar roads Take it slow and easy Sleep above it when the morning comes So will my decision I’ll let you know the answer yes or No more back and forth again and again Wide awake I toss and turn around looking at the shadows I can see them dancing on the wall Movin’ slow and easy I’ll let you know the answer yes or No more back and forth again and again Maybe it was you Maybe it was me Maybe we were wrong to set you free Oh better is the day When I break through the walls I’ve created Maybe it was you Maybe it was me Maybe we were right to set you free Oh better is the day When I break through the walls we’ve created Now I have the answer in my head No it wasn’t easy I don’t think that we should turn around Maybe we should leave it I’ll let you know the answer yes or No more back and forth again and again Hold my breath I see you up ahead I can feel the heat wave My decisions pounding in my chest No it wasn’t easy I’ll let you know the answers No I won’t go back and forth again and again Maybe it was you Maybe it was me Maybe we were wrong to set you free Oh better is the day When I break through the walls I’ve created Maybe it was you Maybe it was me Maybe it was wrong to set you free Oh never comes the day when we break through These walls won’t come down, down, down, down My broken heart slips through the glass with the sands of time (X10)

It’s not over You still have time Said the voice of reason When I opened my eyes I walk away from my thinking chair With a thought in my head and the wind in my hair I open the door and everyone’s gathered round Buried deep a sound from the underground Breaks open I dive in Oh voice of reason Tell me Tell me something It’s not over You still have time Said the voice of reason As I bend back and cry I need to rise from my sinking chair Grab the thought in my head It was always there I open the door and everyone’s gathered round I will break the hand That covers my mouth It’s finally over Now is the time To break through and into the time of my life It’s finally over Now is the time To break through and into the time of my life

I thought I did the right thing When I went back for you It was the right thing at the wrong time I really, really, really loved you Now I feel so lost...Oh You tore through my chest You ripped out my heart You squeezed me to death Now I’m lying on the floor There goes my mind and all of my time You pushed me away You don’t want me by your side Oh anymore Just give it some time In some time it will be alright Just give me some time In some time things will be alright Just give us some time In some time we will be alright We did our best to wake up our hearts That feelin’ is dead We can’t fight it anymore There goes my friend and all of our plans I want you to stay But you’re walking out that door Walking out that door Oh I let it go Come back Come back Come back Come back

Better do what you need to or you’re gonna fall apart I know you hear it Taste it and feel it It sits on the burner behind the fire You know what to do Don’t hang here anymore Eyes on the sea And leave that shore behind Now it’s me all alone here Right where I need to be I know it I hear it Taste it and feel it It sits on the burner I hold the fire I know what to do I can’t hang here anymore My eyes are on me I left that shore Round and round in life I’m always ending up where I don't want to be If I don’t cut my path to freedom Stuck here in this place I’ll never leave Standing here at the doorway Right where I want to be I need to be near it Taste it and breathe it It sits on the burner I feel the fire I know what to do Push open that door My eyes can’t believe it There is no shore Round and round in life I’m always ending up where I don't want to be If I don’t cut my path to freedom Stuck here in this place I’ll never leave Now I'm on my own here ?? I just wanna get back home I just wanna get back home I want to see you waiting When I drop the anchor I just want to get back home I want to see you waiting When I drop the anchor Look for me it won’t be long

No spark No light No words to say or to write My dreams disappear My hope turns into fear My mind let go Fell out and into a hold No heart No fight No feelings to bury inside No wind No sail All colors washed out and pale No tick No tock No time Spins on the clock My mind let go Fell out and into a hold No heart No fight No feelings to bury inside And all of the children and everything I know No truth smile or good man Could make me feel anything at all Your hand I hold You have all the control No one tonight Your eyes somethings not right My mind let go Fell out and into a hold No heart No fight No feelings to bury inside Your love ran way No sun Dark are my days No left No right Fell into the spell in your eyes My mind let go Fell out and into a hold No heart No fight No feelings to bury inside And all of the people and everything I know No hill path or mountain Could make me feel anything at all No stars in the big sky No kiss laugh or cry There’s no rise from the fall And I don’t feel anything at all

Get out of your head Get out of the way Everything you love Don’t push it away What will you do? What will you do? She tilts a candle to the flame Smooths out the paper Writes his name Collects her thoughts and spills her guts with love She sends it off It meets his hands He reads the words and understands He tilts a candle to the flame with love She cuts her hair She lost her mind Throws down a fist And reached for the wine He combs his hair Makes up his mind Threw open the door He’s hoping to find her there She saunters home And wonders if he’s thinking of her ‘Cause she’s thinking of him That feeling never goes away The moonlight settles on her eyes As panic leads her into the lies Will I ever hear from him again? Letter in hand Feeling the twist and the turning inside For a woman he burns for The fire is out Letter is torn You did this so Get out of my way Get out of my head Mind where you are standing now You let it get this way Get out of the way (get out of the way) Get out of your head (get out of your head) Mind where you are standing now (you're standing now) You let it get this way So you got in your head You got in the way Everything you love You push it away Maybe it’s you Maybe it’s you

Turning over every stone in me I found the one that weighs me down I rolled it up And outside of my mouth I got it out It dropped down Heavy at my feet I’ve come to take a step and fall My hands bend back My fingers point at me Resistance is building And soon you will fail Anchor your mind to it And you will prevail I’m gonna find a way And everything can wait You can always change your mind Walking over every stone I see Embers burning underneath I kiss that fire and put it in my mouth Resistance is building And soon you will fail Anchor your mind to it And you will prevail I’m gonna find a way And everything can wait You can always change your mind I’m gonna find a way And everything can wait I can always change my mind I’m gonna find a way And everything can wait I can always change your mind (change, change, change) Change your mind (change, change, change) Change your mind

I tried to pull you from the deep well You pressed your head against the hot wall I finally gave into the thought Why am I waiting for you now? There’s a world of premonitions If you press on to the other side You’re gonna lose me if you go Why am I waiting for you now? I won’t be there when you wake up I won’t be there when you wake up Alone Wake up alone Alone Now I am falling down the deep well I press my hand against the hot wall I see you hiding in the dark Why am I waiting for you now? I wave my hand across your blank stare But I don’t see you on the other side Why are you running from my love? Why are you waiting for me now? I won’t be there when you wake up I won’t be there when you wake up Alone Wake up alone Alone So sad we came apart I had time to think this over Too bad we lost that heart Maybe we could start back over So sad we tried to start There’s no time to think this over Too bad it breaks my heart Maybe we should say it’s over So sad we came apart I had time to think this over Too bad we lost that heart Maybe we could start back over So sad we tried to start There’s no time to think this over Too bad it breaks my heart Maybe we should say it’s over

Bright skies Sheets of fire Light the way now Soaring higher Bright skies Hear that choir Guide the way I’m finally home You’re free You’re free Your burdens are sinking Into the deep sea Empty your pockets Of silver and gold You don't need the world now It’s time to let go Walk through the green grass And into the sunset Stay there forever and never be cold And never be cold
