Nightlife

I was there when you called my name
always pacing caught up in your games
lost searching caught up in the stars
so hurtful no regard
You've got all I need
It's just how I felt
it's not good for my health
can't be contained
I'm going insane
I'm not a fighter but I play the role
I'm not a lover but it hurts the sole
don't take it away
don't take my place
I'm searching for my life
between the wants and what is right
caught waiting for a cold call
caught up waiting for you
I've been looking for some nightlife
to keep my head in my time
I've been looking for some nightlife
I'm not a fighter but I break on through
It's just how I felt
it's not good for my health
can't be contained
I'm going insane
I'm not a fighter but I play the role
I'm not a lover but it hurts the sole
don't take it away
don't take my place

Through the Rain

The grass grows greener
But I can't change
My heart grows stronger
Afraid to age.
If I keep on working
Will I ever get paid?
If it keeps on hurting
Can I live through the rain?
Paint a picture of the place you're in
Have we moved
The same fucking games
Have we surrendered?
Or given up our name
If I keep on working
Will I ever get paid?
If it keeps on hurting
Can I live through the rain?
Paint a picture of the place you're in
I've gotten weary
Sorting out your ways
I just wish you could hear me
Hear what I have to say/
I can't get around it
I can't look on through
I can't live forever
Lovin you.
If I keep on working
Will I ever get paid?
If it keeps on hurting
Can I live through the rain?
Paint a picture of the place you're in

Love Around

Give me structure for my love
Give me structure in the darkness
I know were damn naked
But I can't see how
I wouldn't try and fake it
I don't know how
Can you feel my love around
Can you feel my love around
When my heart beats do you hear the sound
Can you feel my love around

No Resolution

I don't have nothing to question
I don't have nothing to lose
I don't even have the answers
I don't save it up for you
I don't have no resolution
For my sins
I don't know where I came from
Don't know where I begin
Turned back from I went
Messed up my only chance
Stuck shooting for the moon
Caught looking around the room
I don't have no resolution
For my sins
I don't know where I came from
Don't know where I begin

Empty Rooms

I'm running out of money
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of patience
Living a lie
I'm losing all my hope
Waiting for a sign
If this is clarity
Why do I close my eyes
And you can't see me
Can't read me at all
And it don't hurt me
Back against the wall
Buried in a memory
I can't recall the name
Buried in the darkness
Days go by all the same
I left it at the tombstone
Where I'll one day lay
Standing in the doorway
Eyes swept away
And you can't see me
Can't read me at all
And it don't hurt me
Back against the wall
I'll BE HERE ALWAYS
IN THE EMPTY ROOM
Maybe one day I will try
But until the time comes I'm not ready to die...
