don't remember know that it was what you came for what it does to you less than nothing more than it all like hope in hell like spring in fall and if you ever catch the feeling keep it lose it miss it stop searching try to be found don't expect it it will be around somehow say it is freedom tell me it is love call it wisdom it's far above and if you ever catch the feeling keep it lose it miss it
4.
sell all your things drive out to the shore where the sea is rough i do know that it's not easy to admit when it's all fucked up sell all your dreams move into a town where the streets are tough i do know that it's not easy to give in when you've worked so much

Lessons 05:26
don't join the machines they're making their gearwheels forget that they can turn on their own and question every word that wants you to blindly obey they can't make you follow hear me out hear me out hear me out before you go hold on to the things and people that make you forget that you are terrified don't love everyone but love everybody that's hurt from hurting someone else hear me out hear me out hear me out before you go be immune to all their stories until you proof me wrong so hear me out hear me out hear me out hear me out before you grow

i go too slow when i walk i'm way too fast when i run i geht so cold in the night but i'm always hot in the sun and i am too small for this grown up world with my thoughts too big my thoughts too big to fit in i am so quiet when in company i talk too much home alone i love all things that i can never have but i hate the things that i own and i am too small for this grown up world with my thoughts too big my thoughts too big to fit in i am too small for this grown up world with my thoughts too big to fit in an empty room a silent smile i'll be on my own tonight an empty room a beach boys song i'll be on my own to night an empty room a silent smile i'll be on my own tonight i'll be on my own tonight i'll be on my own tonight

if i went for the doorway just my boredom and me if i could get rid of these doubts in my knees where would i be if i wasn't a gamble if i was sure of what i know if i wasn't all questions and bones where would i go where would i go where would i go there's no fence in the doorway there's no walls in the street there's a cage in the back of my head and that's all they need i'm trapped in this town now far too long to feel alright i've walked all the streets climbed every hill and i'm so weary of all the billboards shops and cars and traffic lights how they never stand still it is so fucking bright here these blinding lights just won't go so if i were able to glow in the night how would i know

can you lose what you don't have can you miss what is still there could you ever love to like can you turn away and care can you chase away the paralyzed could you change and stay the same can you order the unorganized would you judge who's not to blame and will you give this mess a name 'cause i'm still waiting again we're dancing without sound spinning all our hopes around oh my i'd love to pretend this is nothing more than good times that we spent i am certainly unsure confidentially insecure standing solid as i shake far asleep but wide awake we're stuck here in between where all borders start to blur what we do and what we want what is unjust what is fair what we are and what we were so i'm still waiting again we're dancing without sound spinning all our hopes around oh my i'd love to pretend this is nothing more than good times that we spent

Battles 04:10
hit me if you love me with all you got you can save me now if you try tear down my door hold my hand before oceans run dry hit me if you dare landmines everywhere you are hurting now so am i knock on my door undeclare this war fractions go by i'll be honest if you let me but if you need me to lie i'll try
10.
farewell my friend i'm not gonna lie i do fear the end but all has to die one day since you are gone now who is steering this boat home once we were king we shared a crown drifting through life i knew you would drown one day and since you are gone now who is steering this boat home how could you sink now leaving this old wreck alone your presence will fade your echoes survive they'll brighten my ways they'll keep me alive one day but since you are gone know who is steering this boat home
11.
Walls 03:32
all these pretty things keep calling me sad boy it's time head home 'cause i'm done loosing things outside in the end i've been shown it's good to have walls containing your insides it's good to have walls to keep out the cold it's good to have walls with doors for the outside it's good to have walls walls that will hold till you're old
