Track Name: Haus Mule
Oh the awful face that you make when you look my way
But as hard as you try, as you try
Try to darken my days
I keep my eyes on the lights here in front of my face
Because up here on this stage everything fades away
It all fades away...

But I won't let you bring me down
No more worries flood my mind
Oh you can try, you can try
But you have made my heart blind

And so, as you pass by, I will gaze into your eyes
And you will try, you will try, you will try
Not to let them meet mine
Oh, your beauty and your youth, it is your own
But the loss of your soul has become known
So now, your loveliness will fade, day by day

And you won't see me 'round your way
As now, you've vanished from my mind
Oh you can try, you can try
But you will never be mine
Track Name: For Miles I Drive
Oh my God!
What have I done
I left your house
With no will to return
I drove out of your life
And I went on for miles
Until I found a warm place to lie down
...To lie down

When you awoke, I was already gone
You slept through my departure
Now you're on your own
And I'm gonna try
To act surprised
When you realize
That you want me in your life
...In your life
Track Name: No Hands
No hands can hold me like hers do,
As the cold of the winter releases my bones
Her fevered mind is put at ease
But sometimes we seem miles away in my dreams

So as she turns her gaze towards me
To make sure the night has not done me wrong
I will sincerely crack a smile
And tell her that things aren't always what they seem

For I can not hide from her
That without her I'd feel

Lost in a world
Lost in a world
Lost in a world
Lost in a world of color...
Track Name: Similar Flaws
The last three days, when I woke up
I hoped I'd find you lying there
But I awake to find no one at all
Yet your image, it still haunts these sheets
And it occurs within my dreams
So now all I want is you here next to me

Sometimes we're bent out of shape
because we share such
Similar flaws, similar flaws
Similar flaws, similar flaws

O! We fear that we don't know
How to change, but
What we really need is
The time and the ability
To see from an understandable point of view
But just so you know,
I would ever do anything
That I knew would hurt you

Sometimes we're bent out of shape
because we share such
Similar flaws, similar flaws
Similar flaws, similar flaws
Sometimes we're bent out of shape
because we share such
Similar flaws, similar flaws
Similar flaws, similar flaws
Track Name: 15 North
Do you love me the way I love you dear?
Does it make you sweat when I'm near?
As we grow apart, our hearts they separate
I'd try to save you, but I fear I'm too late

The distances we've crossed
Keep us longing, our
Ambition as wide
As the sea, and all our dreams

Were laid out right in front of us
But the tide came in and washed away our thoughts
So now, on a broken ship, I sail towards the sun
In hopes that one day I'll retrieve our love

And when I find it I'll
Draw it close, and I'll
Fear no more, and search
For you on the ocean floor

But you were anchored to a creature who
Produced for you the most beautiful pearls
You said that you no longer needed my kind of love
And to return now to the land where I was born

And leave you there, at the bottom of the sea
She said, if you truly love me, set me free
If you truly love me, set me free
If you truly love me, leave me be
Track Name: Mountains In The Morning
Mountains passed as we made our mornings...
But the sun rise was always out of sight
Our beliefs are subjective to our frame of mind
So as long as we follow them we'll turn out right

But from an over look where we share this view
The clouds are all rising up to meet us now
So I let the wind bring us closer
As though the leaves want us to be together, but

From this building where I lay
Here I await the breaking day
Track Name: Onward, Thru The Cold
Who decides the choices in your life?
And how can you tell what is wrong and right?
Is your conscience clear enough now
To look back and smile?
Or does it keep you up in bed at night?

Clouds of white surrounded our small homes
As they fell down, we were unprepared
The cover of snow, it chilled us to the bone
We fell to our knees as we cursed the air

So are you prepared to leave your fears behind?
I can tell that you're concerned, but I can't read your mind
I have often heard before that love is blind
So are you prepared to leave your fears behind?
Track Name: A Blessing & A Curse
I've been awaiting a train uptown
The rush of the winter is aching through my bones
Moving this pen with the wind
And there is a full moon out tonight
Shining through the cover of dim grey clouds
Fading into a crimson sky
The actions of the new year
Have left my senses numb

Must this show go on?
Must this show go on?
Or will you grow?

If each day rises to fear
Then you should just pack your things and go
And don't you worry about
The mysteries that you'll never know
Besides they only bring you pain
And wreak havoc on your brain
So it's best to move on and let them go
If you ever expect to grow

Must this show go on?
Must this show go on?
Or will you grow?
Track Name: Waiting In The Fall (Pt. I & II)
Pt. I
One summer night, one summer night
When the moon was high
I took my time, I took my time
Making sure I was right
Cause you were full of lies, you were full of lies
Always starting fights
So I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try
To keep you out of my life...

So hide in the pines, hide in the pines
You can run all night
And I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind
Your bark, it outweighs your bite
But you said, you were gonna try, you were gonna try
Try to make this right
But I couldn't find, I couldn't find
How to keep you, or why...

I was in love
Until I saw your true form

Pt. II
Upon my innocence you have preyed,
Your affection so rare
Once a love that was so pristine,
Now your heart is just bare

But we fell upon a rocky path
So through those moments you must go
I hope you greet them daily
Cause soon it will be you that I please

Far from the spring
Far from the summer
Waiting in the fall
Far from the spring
Far from the summer
Waiting in the fall
