Hey kid
I thought today
That I would say
A word on living life
Because you're young and yet
So full of it
Slow down and
Listen right
And I know that it may sound like I'm just
Condescending and controlling
Taking every chance to put you down
But life gets hard
And you just started
So you've got a chance to
Get it right
If you listen
Cause what I say is true.
Boy don't test me
I did it all for you
Don't forget
To tie your shoes
Ignore the news
And always be on time
Don't take too long
To say you're wrong
Don't get caught
Up in lies
And I know it can be hard to be
A person in a world that's changing
Faster bigger better all the time
But I know you
I've thought it through
I know you'll be fine
Just listen.
Cause what I say is true
Boy don't test me
I did it all for you
Don't forget me
What I say is true
Boy don't test me
I did it all for you
... yea

Halves

Far away
A world it seems
Fading rosy dreams
Your voice recalled forgotten things
Sad
Gotta say
It wasn't fair
But we could be repaired
Though I am here and you are there
Hold me closer
I know that we've only begun
It feels as though I've waited half a life
To find a love like you so please
Let these halves be one
Weave and sway
In city nights
We could see the light
And somehow know that it's alright
Alone today
Nothing to do
But I can think of you
And know that one and one makes two
Hold me closer
I know that we've only begun
I feel as though I've waited half a life
To find a love like you so please
Let these halves be one

The Cusp

I went for an outlet
I picked up my lies
The elegant landscape
Becoming untied
Respect for the present
What more could I try
No circular reasons
No wandering mind
How long is this gonna take
Till I can give myself a break?
I went for a reset
To rememorize
The things that could help me
To come back alive
I stand on a chance now
I'm closing my eyes
This beautiful morning
Is wasting my time
How long is this gonna take
Till I can give myself a break?
How long is this gonna take
Till I can give myself a break?
How long is this gonna take?
Cause I'm so fucking tired of waiting

One day
They'll know your secrets
One day
One day
You'll rise to meet it
One day
One day
They'll know your secrets
One day
One day
You'll rise to meet it
One day
ah,
One day
No walls between us
One day
One day
No walls between us
One day

Four walls make us strong
Keep out all fear
Time goes on on and on
Days months weeks years
Four walls for so long
Bleak news no tears
Time goes on and on
Days months weeks years
The time has got to have a reason to change
A house a home a box a prison a cage
Four walls make us strong
Empty your head, unmade your bed, empty days
Time goes on and on
Sit down stand up press play
Four walls so long
We leave no trace
Time goes on and on
Into space
The time has got to have a reason to change
A house a home a box a prison a cage
The time has got to have a reason to change
A house a home a box a prison a cage
Four walls make us strong
Four walls make us strong
Four walls make us strong
Four walls

Lock With No Key

Spoken message
Writhing in air
How could you dare?
None can compare
Lord these words don’t
Get very far
Feeble guitar
Where does it start?
Well I know who I am
Lost in some wasteland
Obviously
A lock with no key
Hurry up oh
Please it is time
To write every line
Before we all die
Well I know who i am
(A shy little man)
Lost in some wasteland
(His head in his hands he sleeps)
Obviously
A lock with no key
I know who i am
(A brave little man)
Lost in this wasteland
(Who says what he can)
Obviously
A lock has no key
