Just call me determined
I'm going to write a song if it kills me
I'm sinking and hurting
I'm going to write a song if it kills me
Blank white pages won't scare me away
Blank white pages won't scare me today
I could go from zero to hero
In 3 minutes flat
I could go from zero to hero
In 3 minutes flat

Songs For Black Swans
04:23
|

|
As useless as a fire truck in the rain
Stock footage nightmares play for
days and days
As lonely as a shut down landing strip
I never learned to make a good
paper airplane
This is a song for black swans
This is a song for black swans
A lightning rod for bad luck
is in my brain
Everything I love is on a moving train
Pick up your feet, prick up your ears
my friend
There's always room for underdogs
In the end
This is a song for black swans
This is a song for black swans
Hope and faith will carry you all the way
Hope and faith will carry you all the way
This is a song for black swans
This is a song for black swans
Like us

Heart Of Hearts
03:03

A friend of mine told me you are where you are now
Because of things you did 10 years ago
First I thought it was bullshit
But now I know it to be true
Things like that always seem to sneak up on you
In your heart of hearts
In your heart of hearts
I don't tell too many lies
The ones I do are to myself
Like everything's going to be all right
But no matter how bitter I taste on the outside
Inside I'm sweet candy coated sunshine
In my heart of hearts
In my heart of hearts

My Stupid Brain

Thanks for all the help
But I'll do this one myself
I'll think about it all night
Think about it all night
'Til my heart does what is right
You see, I get into these habits
At first it seems so harmless
And then I find myself saying
This is the last time
I swear this is the last time
That these thoughts will fill my mind

Keep Things Cool

I wanna go
Home with you
Show me all the things you do
And I've got 100 questions
And I want honest answers
I wanna pry so bad
I wanna pry so bad
It makes me feel so bad
So I'll just leave you alone
I'm in love
So it's wrong
And I can't pull 2 hearts along
And when you're gone
I forget about you
But then sometimes I remember
I don't wanna be a fool
I don't wanna be a fool
I wanna keep things cool
So I'll just leave you alone

Titanic, Arise!
03:49
|
|||
|
Used to be brave
Now I think about the grave
And I would walk to the ends of the earth
Just to be myself
At the bottom of the sea
There's a ship just like me
And it would sail all the seven seas
Just to be itself
When I was a kid I was the king
Not afraid of anything
A shaky heart and a nervous brain
Took that away from me
Labeled unsinkable
It was unthinkable
But the tip isn't all that you see
The danger's underneath
I just wanna bring myself back
Titanic arise!
I just wanna bring myself back
Titanic arise!

Restless
03:32
|

I swear I just saw the walls move a little closer
I feel their cold white breath on me
I swear my hands are tied behind my back
And I have never met Houdini
I'm restless
I'm restless
Got blisters on my feet from walking the line
Got blisters on my hands from taking all the time
Got gold inside my head but most of it is fool's
Got no time left for patience and everything to lose
I'm restless
I'm restless

Water Is Warm

This is going somewhere
I don't know where
Now I know where we stand
I can start making the plans
Rather move ahead
Than fall way back
Push aside all this tall, tall grass
The sand is old and marked by footsteps
I dip my toes in the water's edge
We are here, it ain't so bad
We are here, it ain't so bad
Come on in; the water's warm

The Light

Don't you worry, I am watching
You're so quiet; the dark is winning
I am stronger than I realize
I can beat it, I'm here all night
Don't you worry, I'm not leaving
I'll protect you; the dark is bleeding
You can sleep now
You're not alone
I've got the light
And I know how to use it
I know how to use it
To see you through

It's easy to say goodnight
When birds are singing lullabies
Goodnight
