Hard to Find 02:51
you've got the sense, to take apart my armour and filter out all the flaws i'd like the chance, to someday make up for everything that i've done wrong i just think that you are nearly gone and it's my hope, i bring the tiniest bit out of what's nice about you i just think that, you are nearly gone the way you help me, you can't help yourself don’t you know baby seeing you today, i think of the happiness that i'd have if i stay and if you change, the people who like you will start to like you in different ways i need you to say what you need to say

you don't come to court no more i don't see you at the park we used to laugh about my right hook but now we barely talk crack crack they’re knocking at your door it's no surprise but you keep it all on the inside and you pay the hidden price i see you made it but the higher you climb the more you're just a threat carving up every minute of your time there's so much to second guess crack crack you’re feeling so sore blame it on success another scratch in your appearance another blemish on the lens the latest fix will hurt you even more love is an expense taught to track your every weakness they try to see inside your head you got me you got me you got me you got me we’re bound by the same chains but they’ve got you on the floor the way you look at me when i say you’re beautiful wrapped up in how the package looks there's no true form we got to free our imaginations gotta find out what went wrong it's hard to separate what you feel from what you're taught you got me you got me you got me you got me you got me you got your own show now you got your own show now

Hollywood 03:31
when you're left alone with your own thoughts your mind runs astray when signals crossed reveal hidden flaws and second guesses, carry you away it's so hard to please when your heart can't find your sleeve and you find out, you think you want what you had you had plenty of time to play both sides enough to know which ball you wanna drop but something don't feel right and it hurts to see it ground you before you take off now I'm too afraid don't know till it's too late when you find out, there's no second act we're not friends at all we're not friends at all we're not friends at all we're not friends at all we're not friends at all we're not friends at all

this time of the year it gets dark way too early my faith curls into fear and i want to spend the day in bed your tea cup rests on my window sill i’m writing lyrics from my kitchen chair wondering how life got so immediate and confused about what comes next hope springs eternal when love is shared between us hope springs eternal tonight tonight tonight i’ve been so disconnected lately my headphones gather dust we don’t seem to see things the same way and i want to control my destiny this time why is it that our paths run in parallel? why are we so convinced that the world can never change? why can’t i find someone to believe in me? how have i lost my way? my way oh my way hope springs eternal when love is shared between us hope springs eternal tonight tonight tonight tonight

Who You Are 04:21
your ambition’s in traction torn between realities assertive in your actions terrified of what they'll think bag of inconsistencies you weren't born a genius took it out on your family can't tell when you're serious a stranger to what you need bag of inconsistencies you're lying in a chasm between who you are and what they see imprisoned by your habits pulling tricks to appear naive do you know what love means? you came in on a big wave you got all the bread you need promises unpaid still can’t bite that hand that feeds slave to your identity you're a bag of inconsistencies the blade don't hurt nearly as bad as the one you imagine behind your back you're damaged but you’re standing do you have the will to speak? to see around your blind spots problems that are make believe searching for your own truth pushing all your fallacies you act so cool you're in so deep bag of inconsistencies you're a bag of inconsistencies bag of it

so many years since we turned our backs couldn't tell how they split us in half treading water but don't know you’re wet they brought you here to forget never at a loss for something to do no one to make us feel of use shirt slips over your shoulder there's an infinite field of possibility i wanna hurt i wanna hold her and i wanna break this bench attached to me everything she embodies she use to despise killing herself just to feel alive and i don't believe a word it's a slippery slope i'm climbing it's a slippery slope i'm climbing it's a slippery slope i'm climbing it's a we bob our heads amidst the fray no time to see ahead or behind us so much fiction in our heads they'll define the truth and uncover the liars it's a slippery slope i'm climbing it's a slippery slope i'm climbing it's a slippery slope i'm climbing it's a it's a slippery slope i'm climbing slippery slope i'm climbing slippery slope i'm climbing slippery slope i'm climbing

today you told me we were parting can’t believe that we’re through it’s your decision you’re making did you listen to your heart? it’s been a week now since it’s ended and i’m feeling pretty ill i wonder do you even miss me did you listen to your heart? your smile has left some deep tracks across my heart but footprints in the snow don’t last arrows miss their mark today i found somebody new your memory is fading still could it be that i’d forget you you should have listened to your heart your smile has left some big tracks across my heart but footprints in the snow don’t last i don’t know who you are when you told me we were parting couldn’t believe it was true did you get what you were after did you listen to your heart? did you even listen? oh d’you even listen, to your heart? did you listen to your heart?

Streets 04:28
something’s going wrong on the streets of canada throw some wood on the fire cause i feel a blizzard is ready to blow Sammy is in the kitchen closing up the windows, i just want to see your face again yeah i just want to see your face again something’s going wrong, something’s gone wrong something’s going wrong, something’s gone wrong come closer to me, come out of the ice and snow stay here with me where it’s safe and warm the flames roar higher you’re still on the road the clock is ticking slower, should have been here hours ago oh my darling it’s almost morning worries are welling up inside my throat worries are welling up inside my throat something’s going wrong, something’s gone wrong something’s going wrong, something’s gone wrong it’s freezing outside until it subsides stay here with me where it’s safe and warm something’s going wrong on the streets of canada throw some wood on the fire cause i feel a blizzard is ready to blow Sammy is in the kitchen closing up the windows i just want to see your face again i just want to see your face again i just want to see your face again i just want to see your face again i just want to see your face again i just want to see your face again i just want to see your face again (it’s all gone wrong) i just want to see your face again (it’s all gone) i just want to see your face again (it’s all gone wrong) i just want to see your face again (it’s all gone)

Paper 03:37
so bold and so amazed the ocean parts and you get swept away so lost and so refined you run your mouth and still come out okay unscathed and paper takes the blame so cold and so exposed an age goes by and you don’t feel the same so tired and paralyzed the work bled out your veins but you came out okay unscathed and paper takes the blame paper takes the blame paper takes the blame paper takes the blame oh yeah you have left a piece of you behind a little more than kin and less than kind you have left a piece of you behind a little more than kin and less than kind oh yeah oh yeah and paper takes the blame paper takes the blame paper takes the blame paper takes the blame so amazed so refined so exposed and paralyzed oh yeah
12.
searching for that magic spark spirit breaks you lose your heart to the walls walls all surround you but you gotta break them down you got all the words but there’s no sound trading wit for humour it’s agony versus irony there’s nothing in between it breaks my heart to see you fall inside yourself it breaks my heart to see you fall inside yourself you’re still the centre of everything but your edges are so fashionably fucked up honey i haven’t forgotten you couldn’t date till 18 one flash of her assassin’s smile and you fell hard poisoned by perfection no-one’s listening but the place is packed you’ve came this far and there’s no turning back it breaks my heart to see you fall inside yourself it breaks my heart to see you fall inside yourself you think you’re getting better just getting used to the pain it breaks my heart to see you fall inside yourself it breaks my heart to see you fall inside yourself for those afraid to play, it gets harder everyday for those afraid to play, it gets harder everyday you’ll find out you’ll find out you’ll find out you’ll find out you’re always saying that you’re not in the mood too afraid to make the wrong move you’re always saying that you’re not in the mood too afraid just to make the wrong move you’re always saying that you’re not in the mood too afraid to make the wrong move

Easy to Lose 00:58
catch you off guard catch you by surprise thought no-one’s around i saw it in your eyes enemies don’t exist your friends can go to hell in imagined sins too ashamed to tell i need you to say what you need to say i need you to say what you need to say
