Breaking Away
03:54

Your ultimatums fly like broken glass
I'm caught up in the crash
I'm not the first, I know I'm not the last
To hear our reasons clash
I don't know how
I don't know when
But it seems I've lost my way again
When I find
The way to fly
I'll leave this broken shell behind
I'm breaking away
I'm breaking away
I see now you set me up for the fall
My back's against the wall
I responded to your every call
So you could watch my crawl
I don't know how
I don't know when
But it seems I've lost my way again
When I find
The way to fly
I'll leave this broken shell behind
I'm breaking away
I'm breaking away

Standalone

Walking through these hollow years
Faces come and go
Make decisions, cut your losses
Move on
She looks at you in wonder
And you can't see why
With the walls surrounding your heart
None can get by
Can you stand alone
And still survive the fall from grace?
Can you see the light
And endure the fall to shame?
How can you just stand there
And let the world pass by
Fight your problems through the doubts
And let yourself live
You can't see the many paths
Stretching before you
Stand up tall and dry your eyes kid
I know you'll get by
Can you stand alone
And still survive the fall from grace?
Can you see the light
And endure the fall to shame?

Letting Go
04:34
|

The walls are closing in
My thoughts are running wild
I can't seem to breathe in tonight
I'm running in circles
I can't empty my head
Seems like the world ends at my bed
Time is running out
On a clock that has no hands
The only thing running is me
So why is it so hard
To let go of my fears
I need to find my way
To make worth of these tears
I'm falling down
The weight is just too much
The burden is more than I can bear
Then I hear your voice
Calling through the rain
Your light shines into my eyes
I can stand again
The memories fall through
And all I want to see is you
But in my dreams
I'm failing out
Without a doubt
There's so much I can't figure out
About my life and everything I know
Friends that I just can't let go
And blow by blow
I'm reeling and I just don't know
If I can hang this time
Time is running out
On a clock that has no hands
The only thing running is me

Bridges Burned
03:26
|

You came into my life
Through an awkward situation
Damaged goods, no broken home
But still a cracked foundation
Wearing masks, telling lies
To yourself and friends
Never seeing all the time
The means don't meet the ends
And I thought that I'd gotten through
To the core and heart of you
But one step forward, two steps back
Is all you would ever do
And I would stand out on a ledge
Reaching for your hand
And watch as you would light a match
And burn away our plans
You had your chance
You burned that bridge
Too many times to fix
You broke my heart
Gave me a scar
Where you were
That won't heal
All those times
I thought that you were mine
You were only your own
You had your chance
You burned that bridge
So just leave me alone
From time to time
It seems that you want back into my life
When times get hard, you get bored
Or you lay down at night
Leaving hints to try to say
The words you never could
Seeing now you've thrown away
Something you never should
So pack it up, leave me be
I'm trying to move along
And given time, I'm sure you'll find
Someone else to do wrong
When you listen to this song
Consider it a match
To burn away the bridge you built
To climb out of the past

On The Step
04:46

He sighs into his coffee
And starts to stand up to leave
She grabs out in a panic
And finds hold of his jacket sleeve
It takes him a second to turn around
And look her in the eye
She says I'm sorry, but this time
He says nothing but goodbye
Please, don't go
His dignity is on her step
Both pride and courage at the door
Heartbreak's left him longing for
The place that this all started from
He's breathing in a moment
He can't seem to recognize
He's having trouble telling
Just what he saw there in her eyes
Now he's standing by a train
Wondering if he'll ever leave
Takes a step and feels a tug
Behind him on his jacket sleeve
She asks if he'll come back sometime
He says maybe, but not today
Guess I'll see you around, babe
Wish it didn't have to be this way
Please, don't go
His dignity is on her step
Both pride and courage at the door
Heartbreak's left him longing for
The place that this all started from
He's tired of this damned charade
The promises that never change
He can't remember the last time
He felt so empty and so cold inside

Sink or Swim
03:39

He travels heavy hearted
Whichever way the wind blows
No anchor holding him back
No direction of his own
Lacking a rhyme or reason
No rudder to steer his hope
He searches for the lighthouse
To try to find his way
Her voice
Calls me through the haze
Beckon me
To your faceless sky
I can't
Hear you through my thoughts
The current
Is too strong to fight tonight
So many times he's landed
On shores of shallow promise
Moored off to places barren
Seeking a soul that's honest
Tacking against the wind
And hearing a siren's call he
Sails further from the lighthouse
Further from his home
