A Prisoner

I've come so far but I'm still alone
I've wandered in circles far too long
I think it's time to begin the work
rebuilding bridges I left to burn
I wasn't born with these shackles on
I put up the walls and made myself a prisoner
put the blame on everyone but me
I fought so hard to be in control
I fought so hard to have the last word
I think it's time to take off the gloves
I never imagined how much they'd hurt
I wasn't born with these shackles on
I put up the walls and made myself a prisoner
put the blame on everything but me

wired up you start the burn
approaching all the powder
so close you'll get to me
how dangerous I will be
if I am a timebomb
you are the fuse
can't stop the pressure drop
the damage done to honor
wound up your button's pushed
a countdown to disaster
only having seen every angle of me can you be so sure
your words will sting
you say them anyway
you can't avoid the boom
it'll hit you when you burn down all the way
that's how it goes when you are the fuse

Even Higher

I am deep in what you would call a situation
you might say it's a bad case of "who am I?"
oh to think that I could lead us somewhere
the real truth is I might not be that strong
why should I act so tough when there's really no one to fight
act like I know something when there's really nothing to know
why should I put you down just to make myself even higher
I could have paid attention to this sooner
it's not as if I haven't ever changed
oh to think I had all of the answers
the real truth is I got so many wrong
why should I act so tough when there's really no one to fight
act like I know something when there's really nothing to know
why should I put you down just to make myself even higher

It Would Take Everything

it takes everything I've got
to keep my heart set on what's true
and my mind open wide for something new
gotta ways to go
it would take everything I'm not
to set things right again for keeps
break from beneath my sordid history
gotta ways to go
I've got some strength in me now
but sometimes I still feel I am weak and powerless
it would take more than I've got to give
how much more, I don't know
gotta ways to go

I Have Become Invisible
02:56
|

I know there's a love worth waiting for
I know there's a chance I missed it anyway
I couldn't crack the code that could have saved the day
uncovered the plans, god knows I've tried I've tried
have I become invisible to the naked eye?
I've wandered into crowded rooms with nothing on
but nobody seemed to notice anything
I've shouted into telephones and radios
Is anybody there - can anybody hear?
am I really here?
have I become invisible to the naked eye?
I wonder if I'd had a different strategy
would I fade away or just disappear
no matter 'cause I'm used to being nowhere
at least there I know where everything is, where everybody is
I guess I'm just invisible to the naked eye

A Normal Occurrence Here
01:54

pinch me shake me do your best to wake me up
when i'm shutting down
twist me turn me always there to stir me up
when I'm settled down in this town
lead me on
it's just a normal occurrence here
shock me thrill me making sure to fill me up
when I'm running out
push me poke me always there to stoke me up
if I'm burning out in this town
lead me on
it's just a normal occurrence here
test me fake me underestimate me I've got a trick or two
taunt me tease me lead me down the wrong street
I can find my way around in this town
lead me on
it's just a normal occurrence here
lead me on
lead me on
lead me on
lead me on

By the Fountain

cordelia, you're such a curious thing
you're a top flyte girl and you've got at least some self-control
marchmain, I truly felt bad for you
when your pig got gypped at the last agriculture affair
I would have been a good friend to her
hanging out by the fountain
we would have had a lot to talk about
hanging out by the fountain
prankster, i see the silly streak in you
singing tales to the king about monkeys in the vatican
tippy toe out on the edge of desire
but it's habit for you to believe that you'll never be in love
I would have been a good friend to her
hanging out by the fountain
we would have had a lot to talk about
hanging out by the fountain
goodness is what your life is all about
off to spain for the war in the ambulance corp like hemingway
cordelia, you're not a spinster at all
some may say you're uptight but you've just got a lot on your mind
