Swell, baby swell
Swell, baby swell
Swell, baby swell
Swell, baby swell
Won't stop spinning till the well runs dry
They can't hear you when you cry
Trip them out of mind
Leave the world behind
Drown your sorrows in the bottom of it all
Swell, baby swell
Hide your thoughts away
It'll all be well again
By the light of day
All the leaves are turning brown
Whispers whipping thoughts around
Remember how they made you feel
It's all a dream it isn't real
Find your mirth in the bottom of it all
Swell, baby swell
Hide your thoughts away
It'll all be well again
By the light of day
Swell, baby swell
Swell, baby swell
Swell, baby swell
Swell, baby swell
Swell, baby swell
Hide your thoughts away
It'll all be well again
By the light of day

Dream Catcher
03:53
|

She's an actress in the theatre of pain
One woman show in the pouring rain
She feels your hope and steals your shame
Dream for her
Dream for her
Dream a dream for the dream catcher
The forest aches with quaking leaves
Night's where these shadows breathe
Think of light for her to seize
Dream for her
Dream for her
Dream a dream for the dream catcher
Dream for her
Dream for her
Dream a dream for the dream catcher
Dream for her
Dream for her
Save yourself for the dream catcher
Give up your hands
Sell your worth
Feed the lands
Swell the earth
Dream a dream for the dream catcher

[Verse 1]
Drink the wine
Pouring honey down your sleeves
Biding my time
Listen to the wind in the leaves
Climbing the stairs
Remembering the lies that you weave
[Chorus]
And I think to myself
Never again
[Verse 2]
Spent my days
Unwinding and relearning my past
Oh the innocence
Was always too good to last
I see you stare
From miles beyond the looking glass
[Chorus]
And I think to myself
Never again
[Bridge]
Do you see me as the way I see myself?
A child in the darkness
Stumbling down a path
Who will light my way
When they've all climbed to the mountain?
Crossing to the sun
[Chorus]
And I think to myself
Never again

Tell Me a Lie
05:54
|
|||
|
Walking through a haze
I can't tell what's real anymore
I've lost track of the days
All I know is I'm a poor excuse
Of a lonely romantic
Wishing you were here by my side
[PreChorus]
I would show you worlds inside my head
As you swear to me chivalry isn't dead yet
[Chorus]
Tell me a story
Something I haven't heard
Look around the outside
There's nothing more real than the absurd
Oh tell me a lie
[Verse 2]
Wanna know how you feel
You light me up a fire inside
I still feel you while you're gone
Your heart rings out like a song
I'm singing my heart out baby
Wishing you were here by my side
[PreChorus]
I promise I'm not too far gone
I promise I will stay right here where I belong
[Chorus]
Tell me a story
Something I haven't heard
Look around the outside
There's nothing more real than the absurd
Oh tell me a lie
[Bridge]
If it seems like I might break
I promise it's not more than I can take
I've lived through all this before
These seeds I've sown won't take no more
[Chorus]
Tell me a story
Something I haven't heard
Look around the outside
There's nothing more real than the absurd
[Chorus 2]
Tell me a lie
Make me feel good inside
Sing me a dream
Will we ever be more than how we seem?

Hero's Ballad
04:16
|
|||
|
You always told me you were on my side
My confidant, my ride or die
I poured myself into the love you gave me
And when you left you told me
You'd set me free
[Verse 2]
I weilded a sword when I was a child
A knight in the forest, both fearless and wild
But you made me dim my light to the world
You just couldn't deal when my power unfurled
[Chorus]
Let's slay the dragon together, he said
I'm the one foot soldier that he sent ahead
Let's kill the monsters until they are dead
I'm still playing hero to keep you
Out of my head
[Verse 3]
So why didn't you just let me love you?
We could have made up new legends too
But for you now I see that my fire's too bright
You turned into steam without seeing the light
[Verse 4]
But battle scars don't heal so easily
I wanted to hurt you like you'd wounded me
That feral child never forgot her sword
But I'm full grown now, I'll calm your wars with my words
[Chorus]
Let's slay the dragon together, he said
I'm the one foot soldier that he sent ahead
Let's kill the monsters until they are dead
I'm still playing hero to keep you
Out of my head
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Let's slay the dragon together, he said
I'm the one foot soldier that he sent ahead
Let's kill the monsters until they are dead
I'm still playing hero to keep you
But I've seen blood and I'll take my glory
No thanks to you since you've been long gone
Soon I'll be singing a different story
Bearing my soles till they break
At the break of dawn

Art Museum

It's so much clearer to see the picture
When the writing's on the wall
We watch the caked paint dry
Like you've seen me rise and fall
Smother me in this rare form of art
I'm in rare form tonight
[Verse 2]
Pulses pound but bound by moving bodies
Hearts abused but bruised no more
Your Singer-Sargent strokes
As we glide across the floor
Watch the shadows play and dim the lights
I'm in rare form tonight
[Verse 3]
The paintings dance around us madly
Worlds surround us make my head spin
You paint my cheek with a flush so grandly
You anchor me to the world we're in
How manically we touch in the calm moonlight
For I'm in such a rare form tonight
[Verse 4]
So acquainted with a so-called stranger
Who speaks to me in whispers
Two deliberate bodies
Soft spoken illustrations of a life in full color
As you write on my wall
"My work of art, give in tonight"

Moonbeam
04:28
|

|
Darling I’ve been hurt before
Seared by the light of day
I couldn’t take any more
I thought in you I could hide away
But you change like the tides, babe
[Chorus]
I see your moonbeam
You came to me in a dream
You asked me my regrets
And all I said was you
[Verse 2]
I thought you could change my mind
You hushed my tears with a kiss
I wouldn’t take anymore
Twisting my arm in pain and bliss
I won’t wait till you find me
[Chorus]
I see your moonbeam
You came to me in a dream
You asked me my regrets
And all I said was you
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
I see your moonbeam
You came to me in a dream
You asked me my regrets
And all I said was you
[Outro]
Oh, I see your moonbeam
I see your moonbeam
And everything was...

House of the Rising Sun
04:31
|

|
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the rising sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor soul
And god, I know I’m one
[Verse]
My mother, she’s a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My lover was a drunkard, oh lord
Right down in New Orleans
[Verse]
My mother begged me not to go
She cried tellin me to stay home
And if I had listened to what mama had said
My lover would’ve drunk alone
[Verse]
Oh mamas, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Convince yourself you love the misery
In the house of the rising sun
[Guitar solo]
{Verse]
I’ve got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I’m going back to New Orleans
Can’t shake that ball and chain
[Chorus}
Ooh well there is a house in New Orleans
They call the rising sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor soul
And god, I know I’m one

Say It Again
03:27
|
|||
|
The world outside the window
All lace and ivy dreams
Swirling dancing down below
The strangest that you've seen
Say it again for me
[Verse 2]
Write a letter in your head
What defines you when you wake
All but words you've never said
Born at daybreak
Say it again for me
[Bridge]
And when you gaze in the mirror
Feel ivory under skin
See the crystal of the water
Let the laughter begin
Say it again for me
[Outro]
Say it again
Say it again
Say it again
For me

The Tower
06:43
|
|||
|
The veil between worlds is beginning to part
My thoughts stand uncollected
The universe pulls our reality apart
Pushing us into a collective
[PreChorus]
Oh, the things we've seen
Oh, the lengths we'll go to
To keep ourselves alive and free
[Chorus 1]
Can't we just hold each other
One more time
As we begin our free fall?
I've been stacking my bricks
And building my walls
Now I'm up so high
There's no choice left but to fly
As we step off the edge of the tower
[guitar solo]
[PreChorus]
Oh, the things we've seen
Oh, the things we go through
To keep our loved ones clean
[Chorus 1]
Can't we just hold each other
One more time
As we begin our free fall?
I've been stacking my bricks
And building my walls
Now I'm up so high
There's no choice left but to fly
As we step off the edge of the tower
[Bridge]
They feed on our fear
Make gains from our war
They lit the match
They closed us in and locked the hatch
Now will they
Smoke us out through the door
Or will they
Let us burn to the floor
[Chorus 2]
They say we set the cities on fire
To claim the world as ours
Be careful they don't call you a liar
For existing as you are
[guitar solo]
[Chorus 2]
They say we set the cities on fire
To claim the world as ours
Don't let anyone call you a liar
For existing as you are
[Chorus 1]
Can't we just hold each other
One more time
As we begin our free fall?
I've been stacking my bricks
And building my walls
Now I'm up so high
No choice left but to fly
As we step off the edge
Of the tower
