01. Prudence - Lyrics:
Old birds have opinions
They sing and they shout
Beautiful songs from the soul
That no one cares to figure out
I need to know but I'm just a kid
And I need room to grow
Tonight
We go where we wanna go
We say what we need to say
Even if the long road takes us home
Tomorrow's a new day
We form our opinions, yeah
Call it American
But who believes a smile from a child
With all of his teeth clinched
My feelings show cause I'm just a man
And I need room to grow
Tonight
We go where we wanna go
We say what we need to say
Even if the long road takes us home
Tomorrow's a new day
Tonight
We do what we have to do
We say what we care to say
Even if the long road takes us home
Tomorrow's a new day
Tomorrow's a new day
My feelings show cause I'm just a man
And I need room to grow
Tonight
We go where we wanna go
We say what we need to say
Even if the long road takes us home
Tomorrow's a new day
Tonight
We do what we have to do
We say what we care to say
Even if the long road takes us home
Tomorrow's a new day.
02. Listen - Lyrics:
You may speak to the heart of a crowd
But your words won't always be graceful
This show is a beautiful thing
But we're all in a season of changing
Forget what you know
The things you try to control
You've got to let go
The whole world's talking to you
But you're lost
When will you listen
Love is waiting for you patiently
When you start to listen
Your skin will grow old
Your body will slow
There's no hope in escaping
The institution will fold
And go down in a hole
With all your good intentions
Forget what you know
Everything that you control
You've got to let go
The whole world's talking to you
But you're lost
When will you listen
Love is waiting for you patiently
When you start to listen
Son, what's spoken
Was born in peace
The whole world's talking to you
But you're lost
When will you listen
Love is waiting for you patiently
When you start to listen
The whole world's talking to you
But you're lost
When will you listen
Love is waiting for you patiently
When you start to listen
Forget what you know
Everything that you control
You've got to let go.

03. Rebuild, Release - Lyrics:
I cling to a wire
My body is tired
But I'm walking by command
A foundation is fading
I've lost all memory of land
A ship in still water
Doing the best he can
I need to get this feeling out
The walls are coming down
The walls are coming down
I'd bleed for something real right now
Let's build it from the ground
Build it from the ground
The searching is over
I take my place among the thieves
The sadness it covers
It's bringing me to my knees
The wolf draws closer
Accepting everything I've done
But his teeth leave empty
As I move closer to the sun
I need to get this feeling out
The walls are coming down
The walls are coming down
I'd bleed for something real right now
Let's build it from the ground
Build it from the ground
It's hard to have clarity in a catacomb
I'm a brick away from being made to laugh alone
I need to get this feeling out
The walls are coming down
The walls are coming down
I'd bleed for something real right now
Let's build it from the ground
Build it from the ground
Rebuild, release
Rebuild, release.
Tempting lies with bloodshot eyes
It's not who I wanted to be
Buried deep in a song I keep
Are words that I needed to say
But words never come out right
We believe our hearts are pleased where I don't feel good enough...
I don't feel good enough
We learn along the way (that life has meaning)
Inside we feel the same (should we live for will to change)
All this time we know what's right
And we can make it out alive
If we learn from the night
Say goodnight with hurt inside
I guess I had something to prove
But your heart would not move
Terrified of the fear we hide
And words that we needed to say
But words never come out right
Hope at best our hearts will rest
Well, that's not good enough
That's not good enough
We learn along the way (that life has meaning)
Inside we feel the same (should we live for will to change)
All this time we know what's right
And we can make it out alive
If we learn from the night
I see now that you won't give up (you never)
Close your eyes 'cause we mean too much
We learn along the way (that life has meaning)
Inside we feel the same (should we live for will to change)
All this time we know what's right
And we can make it out alive
If we learn from the night.
Every inch we talk
You better mean what you say
You better mean what you say
Less God, more gun
They aim for the heart, but we ain't got one
You better mean what you say
You better mean what you say
I don't need to hurt with my hands
I could find some value, destroy it with my mouth
Hey, could you ever love again?
From the womb, we're taught
You make a sound, I walk
You better mean what you say
You better mean what you say
With words like drugs
We speak 'em hard like we know what one does
You better mean what you say
You better mean what you say
I don't need to hurt with my hands
I could find some value, destroy it with my mouth
Hey, could you ever love again?
I regret the things I've said
Could you ever love again?
I don't need to hurt with my hands
I could find some value, destroy it with my mouth
Hey, could you ever love again?
I regret the things I've said
Could you ever love again?
Seven years is long enough
The things I've seen I can't believe
I'm letting go
So I can move forward
I just need some sleep tonight
One thing could make it all better
If I could hold you tight
However long it takes
I'll make it back to you
However long it takes
However long it takes
A million miles is far enough
The things we do for the ones we love
We'd give anything for the old routine
I'm letting go
So i can move forward
I just need some sleep tonight
One thing could make it all better
If I could hold you tight
However long it takes
I'll make it back to you
However long it takes
However long it takes
Fear has filled this house before
But it takes a little faith to make it through the storm
And no matter what life has in store
Just know I'm proud of you and what we're fighting for
However long it takes
I'll make it back to you
However long it takes
I'll make it back to you
However long it takes
I'll make it back to you
However long it takes
However long it takes.
I drew a line
The mirror was my gate
But I expired
And didn't even notice
Until I'd been thrown away
I had to fall to make it through
I found a way to get close to you
Lose all the pain I've been holding
It's easy to say I'll get better soon
But I need it today, I need it today
I fell in love
It was going perfect
So I offered her my name
She started to cry
And said I wasn't ready
Inside I felt the same
I had to fall to make it through
I'm taking steps to find the man you knew
'Cause no one cares the way you do
I found a way to get close to you
Lose all the pain I've been holding
It's easy to say I'll get better soon
But I need it today, I need it today
(Close to you, close to you)
I found a way to get close to you
Lose all the pain I've been holding
It's easy to say I'll get better soon
But I need it today, I need it today
I found a way to get close to you
Lose all the pain I've been holding
It's easy to say I'll get better soon
But I need it today, I need it today
I need it today.
Come close
Take off your shoes
Tell me all the thoughts
That weigh on you
Bad love
Left a visible scar
But it won't fool me
'Cause I know who you are
Every wall we build inside
Will never be high enough
To keep the water from our eyes
And all the good you see in me
Will never be good enough
It doesn't have to be good enough
It'll never be enough
It'll never be enough
Years pass
In the blink of an eye
Still you hope for change
But live in lies
Bad luck
Left a hole in your guard
But it won't fool me
'Cause I know who you are
Every wall we build inside
Will never be high enough
To keep the water from our eyes
And all the good you see in me
Will never be good enough
It doesn't have to be good enough
It'll never be enough
It'll never be enough
It'll never be enough
It'll never be enough.
Take off your shoes
Tell me all the thoughts
That weigh on you
Bad love
Left a visible scar
But it won't fool me
'Cause I know who you are
Every wall we build inside
Will never be high enough
To keep the water from our eyes
And all the good you see in me
Will never be good enough
It doesn't have to be good enough
It'll never be enough
It'll never be enough
Years pass
In the blink of an eye
Still you hope for change
But live in lies
Bad luck
Left a hole in your guard
But it won't fool me
'Cause I know who you are
Every wall we build inside
Will never be high enough
To keep the water from our eyes
And all the good you see in me
Will never be good enough
It doesn't have to be good enough
It'll never be enough
It'll never be enough
It'll never be enough
It'll never be enough.
09. We're All Liars - Lyrics:
Connections has never been stronger
We see the same things
I gave all my money to God expecting relief
And as they kicked me out
I swore
Somebody is a liar
You shouldn't play with fire, you may get burned
You know, you know, I put my trust in this
But I know, I know, I've been misplacing it
I thought I was different, no, but I did the same things
You were wrong and admitted it, saw you were just like me
Where was the grace I had before?
Somebody is a liar
You shouldn't play with fire, you may get burned
You know, you know, I put my trust in this
But I know, I know, I've been misplacing it
I ran and I ran and I ran for you, but I broke my word, but I broke my word
I see and I see and I see it's true, that I broke my word, that I broke my word
Where was the grace I had before?
Somebody is a liar
You shouldn't play with fire, you may get burned
You know, you know, I put my trust in this
But I know, I know, I've been misplacing it
I broke my word.
10. Best In Me - Lyrics:
Connections has never been stronger
I gave all my money to God expecting relief
And as they kicked me out
I swore
Somebody is a liar
You shouldn't play with fire, you may get burned
You know, you know, I put my trust in this
But I know, I know, I've been misplacing it
I thought I was different, no, but I did the same things
You were wrong and admitted it, saw you were just like me
Where was the grace I had before?
Somebody is a liar
You shouldn't play with fire, you may get burned
You know, you know, I put my trust in this
But I know, I know, I've been misplacing it
I ran and I ran and I ran for you, but I broke my word, but I broke my word
I see and I see and I see it's true, that I broke my word, that I broke my word
Where was the grace I had before?
Somebody is a liar
You shouldn't play with fire, you may get burned
You know, you know, I put my trust in this
But I know, I know, I've been misplacing it
I broke my word.
This room is thick with words
But can't you see that we're all the same
Just vessels and we're all afraid
Forgive me I don't mean to intrude
You see my hands are shaking too
Just settle down this storm won't last forever
We're built for more than this world
I'm not that strong honestly I'm not
But you always see the best in me
Now I'm open
At least you see me for who I am
So fragile
I wait with hope that the coming change won't blow us away
Forgive me I don't mean to intrude
You see my hands are shaking too
Just settle down this storm won't last forever
We're built for more than this world
I'm not that strong honestly I'm not
But you always see the best in me
Am I something you can be proud of now
Just settle down this storm won't last forever
We're built for more than this world
I'm not that strong honestly I'm not
But you always see the best in me
Am I something you can be proud of now.
