Delicate situation trying to feel, Your vibrations through the wall you put between What you said and what you mean, What you said and what you mean Off the cliff the rocks are tumbling, Through the walls I hear the rumbling Who's that hanging out in my head? Tried to lie told the truth instead It's guerrilla warfare in here, Is it the trees that I should fear? You know I never had the patience For these doublespeak conversations Change the sheets and sweep the rug, Tie your shoes, they still come undone, Think that you can turn the tables, Change the titles they're still fables It's guerrilla warfare in here, Is it the trees that I should fear? You know I never had the patience For these doublespeak conversations Don't know what you're thinking, But I know you're lying, Wasting so much time, On your stupid pride It's guerrilla warfare in here, Is it the trees that I should fear? You know I never had the patience, For these doublespeak conversations IDon't know what you're saying, But I know you're lying, Wasting so much time, On your stupid pride

Shatter 03:16
I'm already so far away, From the wind in my hair and the mud in my shoes The chairs are just rearranged On this sinking ship that's going down to you Stars collide, Tossed aside, Waves foam in our mouths Want to ask, About the past, Without turning around Whatever will I do? The lights have lost their glow Hold my breath until I'm blue, But maybe still means no Can we carry our own baskets, Holding all the things we just can't leave behind? Can we make it up this mountain? If only on our knees, at least we'll have tried Earth it shakes, Our mistakes, We go tumbling down Want to ask, About the past, Without turning around Whatever will I do? The lights have lost their glow Hold my breath until I'm blue Maybe still means Whatever will I do? The lights have lost their glow, Hold my breath until I"m blue Maybe still means Want ask, About the past, Without turning around

Man-o-War 03:25
I've got a useless compass, This world just shimmers too much, Though the signal's strong, The going will be rough Bird keeper's a carnivore, He's got feathers in his teeth, I've got a pet man-o-war, He's got all the love I need Are you, are you laughing now? Even know what you're laughing about? You've got a way out of here, You've got a piece of the map, You've got a silver tongue, Things just fall right in your lap Are you, are you laughing now? Even know what you're laughing about? Are you, are you laughing now? Even know what you're laughing about? I've got a pet man-o-war He's got all the love I need Are you, are you laughing now? Even know what you're laughing about? Are you, are you laughing now? Even know what you're laughing about?

Snow Day 03:06
Hang your catcher where your catcher's hung, The night is dark and the storms are long, Hey, chicken shit, running off to brood, You are only what you amount to Buying time with your silly notions, It's okay, I've got no place to go, Looking for the silver lining, But at least I know that it won't snow It won't snow It won't snow Hey there in your room at night, Do you fade away when we turn out the lights? The demons living inside your head, Have a union meeting underneath the bed Buying time with your silly notions, It's okay I've got no place to go, Looking for the silver lining, But at least I know that it won't snow It won't snow It won't snow Buying time with your silly notions, It's okay I've got no place to go, Looking for the silver lining, But at least I know that it won't snow You don't have to say you're sorry, As long as I don't have to say your name Always a dark cloud on my parade, But at least I know that it'll rain, It'll rain It'll rain
