You know his humor helps him hide
and he never goes outside
if you don't wanna try it
then I guess I'll let it slide
But the beauty I saw there
it was never to compare
and I know you couldn't see it
but I wrote it in the air
I know
I don't
you didn't want me to see you like this (3x)
so you hide on the fringes
And she always fell asleep
so we felt incomplete
if you were on your own
could you pick up the phone?
And when your dreams they pass you by
will it make you wanna cry?
did you do it to yourself?
who could you have asked for help?
Chorus
....
And when all seems well
does that mean that you get comfortable?
If you can't tell
then I'm making you uncomfortable
If you feel left out
does that mean that you're too comfortable?
You can see it out
but you'll have to be uncomfortable
And did I ever let you know
or did you tell me to go?
do we leave because we grow
or we think we're on our own?
Can I stop and turn around
or did you make out the sound
when I said that I knew better
that I had it figured out?
I don't
I know
I didn't want you to see me like this
So I hide on the fringes

To Listen To

He always says to me
It's not gonna work out
You'll spend your life
Living under that cloud
You'll always try to be
And you'll always fail
Fall short of your goal
And take the wrong trail
And sometimes...
I believe you
And sometimes,
I still ignore you
But, it's about time
That I find someone better
To listen to
And then she came along
And she said to me
I believe in you
I believe in your dream
And I see you
For all of your good
And I know you can do better
I always knew that you would
And I've had a hard time
To believe you
And sometimes,
I ignore you
But, it's about time
That I find someone better
To listen to
And he keeps saying
That there no hope
And she keeps saying
That there is a love
And I keep praying
But, I don't believe
Until the day
When I let go of me
And just decide to believe you
I've got nothing
Left to lose
And it's about time
That I find someone better
To listen to

Binary

You feed off the binary
People are more complicated
People are more interesting
And your line is overrated
We missed everything
in between
embraced the black and white
don’t think about the grey
"You gotta believe us... What you think is happening isn’t really happening. There’s only two ways to think about this. You’re either with us or you're against us. You gotta believe us..."
What you think you know about it
you only know you know your guessing
and when you finish sacrificing
will you finally know the reason?
when you stop thinking about
everything all at once
and you get off the high horse
then will you find the right words
You feed off the binary
But people are more complicated
People are more interesting
And your line is overrated

There's A Place

I know there's a place
where you can be free
And it's left its trace
on everything
I know there's a place
where there's not a wall
behind the one
that we just made fall
I know there's a place
where we can be free
I know there's a place because
it's left a trace in me
So I'll do my best
to live for that place
where we can all be free from ourselves
where can all be free to help
not tied up with invisible chains
not distracted
not afraid
I know there's a place.
