The Pain Holds On

Find a little calm in the middle of the night
Hold me close, forget the darkness outside
Find a little piece on the edge of what's right
Memories fade but the pain holds on
At first you felt time crawl through the years
One step behing you as it waits to appear
Before you know it, you're running afraid
Memories fade but the pain holds on
Poured yourself into something so real
A little time can empty all you feel
Lost control of the vision you made
Memories fade but the pain holds on
Friends of the past recall the time
When those moments felt so young and alive
It takes a lot of chance and the will to survive
Memories fade but the pain holds on
...the pain hold on ...the pain holds on
There's a lot pain somewhere inside
But there's nothing that they can prescribe
Hurts much worse than you ever could hide
Memories fade but the pain holds on
Find a lot of calm at the end of the fight
Hold me close, forget the darkness outside
Find a little peace on the edge of what's right
Memories fade but the pain holds on
...the pain holds on ...the pain holds on
...the pain holds on ...the pain holds on

The story of a woman on Renfield Drive
Her children can't relate to what's going on inside
Her husband's never home cause he's working every night
Her heart is so alone but holds her feelings so tight
Sometimes when you don't want... then there's no way you'll ever get
But some people only want what they'll never get
I've got a feeling that you've never felt
How I'm dealing with the cards that I've been dealt
The story of a woman on Renfield Drive
She never sees the wrong, she only knows she's right
The kids today have no respect, she sees it with her eyes
If they deserve what they expect, then they'll learn that its all lies
Sometimes when you don't want... then there's no way you'll ever get
But some people only want what they'll never get
I get this feeling that you always yell
When you're dealing with the truth that you can't tell
The story of a woman on Renfield Drive
Her children can't relate cause they're old enough to drive
Her husband's never home cause he's got something on the side
Her heart is still alone and holds her feelings so tight
The story of a Woman

I know your heart is broken but it simply can't be this way
You use it as a weapon for your pain, to make me pay
For something I said that you took out of line
But we've all said something that we never meant at the time
You take a situation and you turn it into something its not
Showing your true colours, never giving it a second thought
That I might be hurting for the way that it all
Went down and left me waiting at the station for your train's last call
In a room full of silence that kills... (x3)
... I'm waiting
... ya you're waiting
... we're both waiting to hear those words "I'm sorry" again
Now I know that things are crazy but it doesn't mean we have to be too
We take a lot of pressure and I sometimes turn it back on you
Cause I'm just a boy who doesn't understand what he feels
So its easier to just hold it in than reveal
In a room full of silence that kills... (x3)
... I'm waiting
... ya you're waiting
... we're both waiting to hear those words "I'm sorry" again
I know you're heart is broken but it simply can't continue this way
You use it as a weapon for your pain, to make me pay
For something I said that you took out of line
But we all say something that we never mean at the time
And we take a situation and we turn it to a waste of time

Lost
03:40
|

|
I got lost in expectation, what started as a goal.
Became the destination, beyond all my control.
Further reflection will show and now I know
That anticipation drove me up the wall
Upon further reflection... of it all
It was the anticipation... that drove me up the wall
Out with the old
And in with the new
You do what you're told
When you're told what to do
With no other option, the road that I was on,
Headed through destruction to get me what I want. Beyond
Out with the old
And in with the new
You do what you're told
When you're told what to do
Oh don't you take it away from me,
Cause lost is where I wanna be
Lost is where I wanna be
At this table next to me they laugh uncomfortably
While the music in the air is familiar melody
To the waitress who waits for change from a boy who wakes up strange
And all that I can say is I was lost in outer space, lost in outer space
I was lost in outer space, lost in outer space
I was lost in outer space, lost in outer space
Lost in outer space
I got lost in expectation, beyond all my control.

Bird's Eye View

You live your life, everyday
And you try to hold on... to things that come along
Through all the years... of facing fears
And then a blast from the past... reappears
I'm just someone from a different life
When we were younger and so less wise
So lets reminisce of... the fire that burned inside
We're just creatures of a different kind
But we were coming at it from the same mind
Come to think it over... we were always in it for a good time
We used to live, day by day
And how we tried so hard... at who we were from so far
Before we knew... what we both outgrew
Like a parade down Main Street... from a bird's eyeview
You're just someone from a different life
When we were younger and so less wise
To think the kids we were still had futures to realize
We're just creatures of a different kind
But we were coming at it from the same mind
And as we separated, we just tried to follow our own signs
I live my life, day to day
And its hard to keep track... what I carry on my back
But I always know... what the past will show
Those sleeping dogs don't wake up on their own
We're all someone from a different life
When we were younger and so less wise
And as we grow up older, we take comfort in just one disguise
We're all creatures of a different kind
And we're coming at it from our own minds
Because we learn what we see, from visions of tired old eyes
And realize... what burns inside... all those lives

Northern Grace

She’s got a pocket full of cigarettes and a shadow on her face.
She’s got a Peterborough accent and that northern grace.
Baby I’ve got a cooler full, I’ll take you to the lake.
We can sit and talk a while about all our mistakes.
So come on back from the old ways that’ll kill you
Come on back you know the way.
You know that a couple of drinks and I get this way,
But your eyes are screaming at me what you’re trying to say.
And you try to explain why your done you’re done before you start, when you stay.
So come on back from the old ways that’ll kill you
Come on back you know the way.
The harder the reach is, the harder to know
That it’s something worth fighting for.
