Old Skin
04:46
|

I've been shedding my old skin
It's revealing things I didn't expect
Still drowning in old sins
I can't deny what the waters reflect
I'm shedding this old skin
It seems there's no end in sight
It's a game that I can't win, baby
Just to kill the sickness on the other side
And will you still write me
When it's just these dusty bones?
I've been shedding my old skin
But I'm saving you alone
Just you and you alone
I'm dragging this old skin
Still clings to the souls of my shoes
I thought I could overcome it, baby
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
My heart is full of distractions
Trying to keep me from what's true
Babe, we've been missing in action
Please don't forget I'm still in love with you
And will you still write me
When it's just these dusty bones?
I've been shedding my old skin
But I'm saving you alone
Just you and you alone

If I Don't Die Tonight

Here I go again
Here I go again
Seems I've finally reached the end
Of what, well who knows?
Seems I've had enough
Running through the rough
May not be so tough
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Could be the first day of the rest of my life
If I don't die tonight
I've made it this far
Babe I've made it this far
Seems I've finally reached the start
Of what, well who knows?
Lift my head up high
Only look to the sky
Where feelings soar and fly
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Could be the first day of the rest of my life
If I don't die tonight

Risen

I have made the most
Of your hot and cold
Of your skin; soft gold
Of your near and far
I have made the most
Of this deep, dark hole
Stitching up my soul
And you'll kiss the scars
Well I'm risen
How could that be?
I thought without you
There'd be no me
We'll I'm married
To the ghosts of you
They don't scare me
The make me feel new
Feel so new
There is soft sunshine
On the other side
There's no need to hide
There's no need to run
And sweet ocean tides
I think I've arrived
I think I'm revived
No longer stunned
Well I'm risen
How could that be?
I thought without you
There'd be no me
Well I still carry
Your hosts on through
They don't scare me
They make me feel new
Feel so new
Oh, feels so new

Gloomy Days (Farewell)
04:00
|
|||
Feeling every sound is like living
This music all around just keeps giving
Bit into the fruits of wisdom
Pulling these bare roots from their prisons
This is farewell to the gloomy days
Sitting in my cell of euphoria
Honey, I will always adore ya
Just waiting to put these hands in the soil
Honey, I've got no evil plans; you know I'll stay loyal
This is farewell to the gloomy days
I just hope it'll last longer than it has before
I just hope it don't pass like it always has, oh
This is farewell to the gloomy days, goodbye
Goodbye, gloomy days

Over Again
03:31
|
|||
It's all over, it's all over again
Year after year
Over again
And I'm starting over, I'm starting over again
Without any fear
Over again
You might say I've lost my mind
And it might be true
I must've left it far behind
When I met you

Man In A Monster's World
04:45
|
|||
For the very first time in my so-far-short life, my wounds are healing
Living in a trance, babe, there's no need to advance; just keep on feeling
Trying to be a man in a monster's world
Trying to be a man in a monster's world
Trying to be a man in a monster's world
I want your fire by my side in the morning
And I want you to kiss me without any warning
And more than this, I want us to be free
Can't we both see
There's no eternity
And death is a certainty
And how am I supposed to know how to treat you well
When I don't even know how to take care of myself?
Trying to stay human in a dying man's world
Trying to keep breathing in a dying man's world
Trying to stay living in a dead man's world
I want your fire by my side in the morning
And I want you to kiss me without any warning
And more than this, I want us to be free
Can't we both see
There's no eternity
And death is a certainty

These Few Words
04:16
|
|||
Life is so giving, life is worth living
Just don't try to leave, you may never come back
'Cause life is just madness; tears of joy, tears of sadness
You can laugh, you can grieve; just don't ever look back
I know it's hard not looking back
I know it's hard not looking back
But it only hurts not looking back
So why would you ever look back?
You were so lucky, boy, when her lightning struck you, boy
Sometimes the fiercest lions must be tamed
Now these are the good days, yesterday made no sense at all
And every passing day does not feel the same
I know it's hard not looking back
I know it's hard not looking back
But you've got nothing to gain looking back
So why would you ever look back?

Touch Of Fate
04:07
|
|||
Who knows just what will come next
And who know what we will confess
Will we seal this love with a kiss
Once more?
And who knows if I will come to
When my eyes catch glimpses of you
And your gaze would still pierce right through
Like before
And by some touch of fate
Our paths still cross
But we're not lost
We just like to wander
We just like to wander
And wind up in each other's arms
I think I've made up my mind
That you are so one-of-a-kind
Seems like there's always a sign
Always a chance
I'm fine without you at best
Beating hearts never get enough rest
And in my mind we're pressed close, chest to chest
In a lovers' dance
And by some touch of fate
Our paths still cross
But we're not lost
We just like to wander
We just like to wander
And wind up in each other's arms
