We Proudly Present 02:42
lyrics
buy track
Well I've tried to forget about all those regrets But devastation, it's taking hold And sometimes I find it hard to calm a storm with no cards Especially when they show you the end Presenting: Step, stop, you're bringing down the moon But I'll refuse Try something new And we all Love, lose, don't dig down there again I'll just pretend That I can win And that's how it's been Well others may say they like to ruin your way But you know me best, so you'll top all the rest And even with my soul there out in the so open air It's hard to believe that you didn't care [CHORUS] x 2 And we all Love, lose, don't dig down there again I'll just pretend That I can win And that's how it's been

For the Enjoyment 02:58
lyrics
buy track
I will start with this Something so arbitrary My mind can't complain Sometimes life gets looped I know what to like it to This is my Haiku Counting my phrases I will know where my place is After we both fall Counting your phrases Will you know where your place is? Running from it all Only some can see Burying both you and me Repetitious seas Would you come again? Join us in our circle bend My haiku won't end Then we come across some sort of diction mistake Which neither you nor I may know how to take But when everything's the same It's us who find out how to change [CHORUS] Counting our phrases Will we know where our place is After we both fall Would you come again? Join us in our circle bend Our haiku won't end But maybe it's not too late

And Now 02:34
lyrics

Knock down the door See something there that's Lying on the floor Pick it up and read more Now what have we bore? There's something in store For those who wanted more But will we see it soar? Now you have to find That little line dividing Somewhere in my mind Is it a good sign? Now I have to find That little line defining Somewhere in our time It's such a good sign Nothing left to see Behind those curtains, please So turn your back on me And now there's only Something left to be Behind those curtains, please So turn your face to me And now they'll all see Knock down the door There's nothing there that's Lying on the floor What's there to read more? Now what have we bore? There's nothing in store For those who wanted more And we will see it soar Nothing left to see Behind the curtains, please So turn your back on me And now there's only Somewhere left to be Behind the curtains, please So turn your face to me And now they'll all see

To Translate to You 04:01
lyrics
buy track
I'll try speaking louder, even just for you But without translation, there's nothing I can do Let me tell you, my friend, there's envy in these eyes People, why, they judge you, after not so many tries Don't go back home 'Til everybody knows, 'cause Closing doors leads to problems And doesn't take us where we need to go, no So talk to me, and Translate my messages I'll give it a try Take off these bandages And I need you to Translate these feelings for me (I don't need to hear the words) And I need you to Show me you know how to see (I don't need to know the words) And I need you to (I just need to feel) Be there for me Can you reach it? Is it in an arm's length? When distance doesn't matter, it's more about the strength Being willing, cautionary: different points of view Many things are important, but I'll place my bets on you What's that sound? Don't bury it too deep 'Cause I might just be there listening My efforts don't run that deep, no So talk (speak) to me, and [CHORUS] ...Speak to (with) me So talk to me, when [x2] Translation loses something in all those words But translation can give you something, more than just the words So talk to me, and [CHORUS]

Jump there, or stand where you please Singing, sounding, swinging to one of these Won't settle down the unifying crowd Gather 'round and we'll show you how Everybody sings their song Brings it back, but gets some wrong Who are we to go along? I said but oh I know what I owe those below Can we play you a show? I said oh I know what I owe Next week, the same as before Close your eyes and wish for a little more Won't settle down the unifying crowd Gather 'round and we'll show you how Everybody sings their song Brings it back, but gets some wrong Who are we to go along? We'll show them we can be strong And we said everybody hears their song Brings it back, but gets some wrong Who are we to go along? I said but oh I know what I owe those below Can we play you a show? I said oh I know what I owe Jump there, or stand where you please Singing, sounding, swinging to one of these Won't settle down the unifying crowd Gather 'round and we'll show you how Everybody sings their song Brings it back, but gets some wrong Who are we to go along?

The Making Of 03:07
lyrics

Building down in a lot so low Still we find no place to go For some who don't know much of life A struggle to sound is a part of the fight Oh, but don't, don't dig there again There's another one Still, still, still in the dark of the stadium Where they were done And some became none Bring out the sound of a people low Oh oh oh And we have an extravagant show Oh oh oh Never slow down the writing, though Oh oh oh 'Til we have an extravagant show Thirteen hours, one song at a time I still don't know which part is mine Return to the place where it felt all fine And live in the song with the newest sign Oh, but don't, don't dig there again There's another one Still, still, still in the dark of the stadium Where they were done And some became none [CHORUS] [CHORUS] Oh oh oh And we have an extravagant show Oh oh oh Oh oh oh 'Til we have an extravagant show

A Show 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Open the door, look outside and tell me Do you see what it is that you wanted me to see Or maybe it's just that you haven't been quite honest With yourself, you don't know your observations Can you, or anyone, show me the truth? 'Cause I'll be waiting for you Come on, people I know Don't let us ruin the show Someday, sometimes, we find Where do you draw the line? We've got to give it a try Here it goes I'll take you to a show I'll take you to a show Welcome to the anthem, I'll show you around But first you have to be a little open-minded Take it all in, look back on your way to see that There are those with more conviction than you're used to [CHORUS] [x6] I'll take you to a show

About Our Theory of Why 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Someday, out of here He will have stories whispering in his ears Makes do when they keep away Or tells them to stay if he knows what to say Closes off his heart to sound Sitting in the shade of a star too close to the ground He knows he's the better guy But never thought to ask himself why Oh oh oh oh Nothing's greater than your might, when you're right So you fight what is in your sight Oh oh oh oh Nothing's sadder than the frown on a man Looking down where he lost his crown Examining all those possibilities No one's left with the good abilities Left alone to their own design But do they feels words like I feel mine? 'Cause we know Oh, we know where to go And we know Oh, we know how to grow [CHORUS] x 2

Now curtains, please The show is done Please go on home We've had our fun The stage is dark Now our audience has the floor To say how they feel Or to come back for more Presenting: Step, stop, you're bringing down the moon But I'll refuse Try something new And we all Love, lose, don't dig down there again I'll just pretend That I can win And that's how it's been For now there are no more Songs left to sing So flip the album Or press repeat And we love you all But have got to go So curtains, please Thank you for the show [CHORUS] And we all Love, lose, don't dig down there again I'll just pretend That I can win And that's how it's been
