1.Christmas Lights
All she was a parent's prize
Pushed to the edge by childhood lies
No escape when it's that far gone
Just hope and pray you have it all wrong
Somehow it ain't the same but nothing's changed
Christmas lights sparkles in the silence
Torture me with joyful cries
No escaping that it's gone forever
To a quiet place where someone cares for her
I don't feel like coming home
This don't feel like coming home
All i have is a photograph
The words you left and a frozen laugh
Frozen in time where you will always be
An empty space walking next to me
2.Dude Danger
Promise
Welcome to a world of promise
These smiling faces are your friends
All this happiness is certain
Unless of course you don't fit in
Fall in line
Pretend like you don't mind
Get in the know unless you've had enough time to get dangerous
Laughing
Why are all these dudes so happy
Our hero questions the big joke
Stop it make them all just disappear
He's never felt so all alone
Now's the time
There's not need to hide
He's got to let them know
Look's like he's had enough
He's getting dangerous
I wonder who's laughing now
3.Rut
I can't complain
About this rut i'm in
Day after day
These same walls i kick in
Rip out my hair
What's so unfair
Bent out of shape
Underestimate what i can take
It's easier to just break down
When you're not around anymore
Woe is me,
I just can't win
The cable's out again
Can't stand the neighbor's hollering'
It comes crashing down and i forget
That some hearts never mend
And it never ends
Even though i'm not pretending when i cry
I don't care
About this rut i'm in
No show to steal
By making a big deal if i fall down and what for
Fall so hard to seal my fate
Feel's so good to bellyache
It's gonna be one of those days
Break it down
4.Strange Lightning
The rain taps on the window down the hall
There's no one out there nothing at all
Reaching out strange lightning from above
Looking up nothing to be scared of
Take away the wonder
Take away the world
You better not forget
It's quiet now the wind begins to slow
Someone's standing there please don't go
Forever new and still the same
You can help things stay this way
All clear now how fast it came and went
Someone's standing there don't let it end
5.Surface Tension
Voices sometimes mine
Whispers in my mind
I can't be alone
No way to compensate
For an insane world
Is this what i've outgrown
I fell it it's all there
I can't ignore the signs
It's not my fault
If someone gets hurt the next time worlds collide
Where the madness ends
Imagination begins
It's getting closer all the time
Fury in my eyes
I'm not repentant for my crimes
Not this time
Is it hate or fear
Rorschach i can't decide
I fear my hate
I don't know how to love everyone
