BETTER OFF ALONE
Hey I'm still here/You act surprised/I still walk this earth/Maybe in spite of you/I'm in my place/A better place/Or maybe just different/ But different feels just fine/And I've got my problems/But at least they're my problems/And the life I'm living is my own/I think I'm better off alone/The endless lies/The crying eyes/The myriad nights/When you had me hypnotized/Long-winded notes and scratchy throats/And this lingering feeling/That you're stringing me right along/And I don't want to break you/'Cause I didn't make you/And you didn't teach me what I know/I think I'm better off alone/So many people can bring you down/But then there are those that can make you strong/So how do I find them?/and where do I sign when/I find someone with a little soul?/I think I'm better off alone/So in the end I need a friend/But how can I trust it When I know the way it ends?/I'll keep on trying/I'll make a sign/And in the end/Well you know I'll be just fine/'Cause there's something inside me/That doesn't need aligning/Or anyone else to keep it whole/I think I'm better off alone.

SOUL RAINCOAT
I guess my soul needs a love note/'Cause sleep can get you through the night/But there is something should be filling up my days/Oh all these endless days/I'm picking up all the pieces/Of all my plans that fell apart/But there's still something warm that's flowing through my veins/There's no reason to be alone/Just your own land mines that we all lay down/There's no reason to be scared/'Cause I hit rock bottom and I'm still here/I've learned to be on my own now/And live my life in my own way/And there's still darkness that can rain down from the sky/Even on sunny days/There's no reason to be alone/Just your own land mines/and we all lay them down/There's no reason to be scared/'Cause I hit rock bottom and I'm still here/Every soul needs a raincoat/To keep you dry from all the pain/And keep the lifeblood warm and flowing through your veins/When there are people who will look the other way/And there is something should be filling up my days/Oh all these endless days.

DEVOTION
Do what you feel/And don't allow me to steal from you/All those things you keep/That make you real/But if you need a friend/Or you've got time you have to spend/I'll be here with you/Like I've always been/And you should know right now/That there's nothing more I need from you/Than for you to be exactly like you/And though I don't have much/I will give it all to you, my dear/If you'll just stay here/I have seen your face/And it's touched my life with grace/You took my darkness away/And put your light in its place/And though we may never know/Just how the future is to go/We can keep things right/If we take them slow/And you should know right now/That there's nothing more I need from you/Than for you to be exactly like you/And though I don't have much/I will give it all to you, my dear/If you'll just stay here.

NEVER SAY GOODBYE
Sundown on me/I've run out of light and heat/I've tried/I've failed/In everything I've ever tried to sell/And I need something tonight/A little reminder of just why/I try at all/I keep on building things that fall/I guess I know/I've still got miles left to go/And I'll need something tonight/A little reminder of just why/I keep on coming back/Despite all the things that make me cry/The things that make me want to die/I hope I never say goodbye/'Cause I'm waiting for some silence in my mind/The night/It comes/A thousand little nightmares begun/I toss/I turn/And wonder if my bridges have burned/The ones that lead me back to life/The ones that remind me of just why/I'll keep on coming back/Despite all the things that make me cry/The things that make me want to die/I hope I'll never say goodbye/I hope we never say goodbye/I hope I never say goodbye.

MORNING SKIES
What would you say to me/If I told you that I did not believe/That you were you?/What would you do if I told you/I'm drowning/I'm drowning/I'm sick and I'm dying/And I don't know how to please/Me, or you?/I need to find you again/So we can see things through/And I saw truth laid bare that day/The sickness that's eating me/The girl who lives so far away/Will come back to see my eyes/Brightening, like morning skies/What good would it do, my friend/If I hid all my problems/And dressed up my bad side/So that you would not know?/But what wouldn't I give, my girl/To hear you giggling/To see you smiling/When I look at you from below?/I need to find you again/We'll see how far it goes/And I saw truth laid bare that day/The sickness that's eating me/The girl who lives so far away/Will come back to see my eyes/Changing/
Brightening, like morning skies/Oh, how do I know/Where to go for to find you now?/Where do I go for the truth?/Or to see your face?/I can't erase/All the pain/When you just don't see/Girl, I can only be me/I can only be me/I can only be me.

CHARMS
Diamonds on a chain/Are not the kind of thing/That I can easily give to you/Would that bother you too?/Success: a sum of all the things you have/Minus all your past regrets/When you were left feeling used/And I needed some protection/And I needed just some time to recognize/All the things I thought were my fault/ And the things I should avoid/So I stop this sliding fall/Before I end up dead/I'm older now/And I can say/I've had my fun, but now it's time/To seal up all these cracks in my head/And I needed redirection/And I needed a little time to recognize/Oooo darling/There's things you should hold onto/And there are things you should avoid/Oooo darling/What's locked inside those charms around your wrist?/Does it end like this?/Tragic flaws are obvious/What's not is what a man can do/When he's nowhere that he wants to be/Drive away real fast if you want/You won't escape the things that always follow you/'Cause they are Closer Than They Appear/And I needed a brand new engine/And I needed a little time to recognize/Oooo darling/Got things you can hold onto/But I got problems to avoid/Oooo darling/What's locked inside those charms around your wrist?/Does it end like this?/Yeah, it ends like this.

FEAR
Stolen moments never moved so slow/As when I found you digging in that hole/The one I asked you for all those years ago/When I was young and had the time to blow/Now I can't release my mind from fear/I struggle with the things you see so clear/And deeper still I'm lost between my ears/Confined to my mind for all my natural years/I pull myself together/To face another day/Locked in a trance forever/Wasting my life away/Run another mile towards the sun/And take a chance on what you might become/A person who can see more ways than one/And understands that work is never done/I pull myself together/To face another day/Locked in a trance forever/Wasting my life away/I see a little darkness/And it comes creeping in/But in another moment/I'll be asleep again/And I started to dream...

DOUBT
I've got a question for you/Do you think I will come through/With all the things that I'm trying to do?/Or am I all done?/'Cause there's a world inside my head/And in that world I'm not quite dead/And it is filled with the things you've said/That have made me smile/Like a child/I need someone to come to me/And help me with my uncertainty/Help me/Help me to break free/Free from doubt/'Cause I'm in trouble when I'm high/And I'm in trouble when I get low/And I'm a danger to myself/When I'm left all on my own/I'm alone/I need someone to come to me/And help me with my uncertainty/Help me/Help me to break free/Free from doubt/'Cause I don't want to be alone/Not today/And you don't have to be alone/Not tonight/We won't have to be alone/not tonight/Not tonight...well...

GOING AWAY
It's not gonna be easy, I know/I'm going away/And I won't be afraid, I know/It's not going to be easy, I know/I'm going away/And I won't be afraid/Anymore/Well I told myself I wasn't good for you/And I walked right out that door/But when I saw your face in my memory/I knew I'd be back for more/Well if you saw me now/I have no doubt/You couldn't pull me off the floor/'Cause there's nothing left of me.

LOSS (SPACE)
Sometimes I think that I can see you when I'm walking on the street/When I catch a face like yours among the countless people that I see/But I am left with tear-stained eyes/Looking through the autumn air for you/If only I had been there/Then I could have taken all this pain from you/But I know you'll find your way/And I know you'll find a place/Drifting softly into space/Half of me still cannot believe that what has happened is for real/I felt like I could keep you safe/But sometimes life just isn't what you feel/I will let you guide me through the hardest time that I have ever known/If leaving here could bring you back to live your life again/I would go/Let the starlight be your guide/Sailing slowly through the night/Getting lost in angels' eyes.

NATIVE SON
Sometimes it happens/I don't remember what I said/Too much of anything is a bad idea/There's someone else in here/but he's always gone the next day/And I'm left alone to pick up all this glass/And it's always me that's explaining away/All the things he did that I wouldn't have done...or not in that way/Caught a glimpse of him in the hallway mirror/He looked a lot like me/But I couldn't quite see him/As he was running away/Yeah, he was running away/And so I looked upon this ocean that I'd found/But I couldn't feel its waves/And I knew right there that you'd never be mine in exactly the same way/'Cause I could never feel what I couldn't hold/Neither sunlight or the rain/And I'm always after the very things I never will attain/And it makes you feel like you're the only one/I am a native son/And I won't be outdone/I am a native son/And I don't want to come undone/So no more running away/No more running...
