The Sleeping Curse

You shook off the dust
Gave into the rust
Passed it along
and faded away with the trust
traded and told
was it worth the lies you sold?
to bring it in close and shelter it from the cold
we paid our dues
worn out and confused
let's move it along and hide amongst the clues
and awaken the sleeping curse
set out in search of a warning
took a chance on bad habits forming
i've been making the present tense
for a chance that came and went
we paid our dues
we wereworn out and confused
let's move it along and hide amongst the clues
and awaken the sleeping curse

Sinking Ships Of Teeth
Sinking ships of teeth
I can hear them creaking closer
What is it lies beneath
the sails of linen sheets
and how long can you keep it hid?
are you an angel or an obstacle?
I want to know the truth
i gave you an amulet,
a sharpened shark's tooth
You left me stranded here
a hundred years before
And if you won't make it to me,
I'll be here a hundred more
'Cause you know I can't swim that far
You know I can't swim that far
You know I need those ships of teeth
to bring you back, to bring you back to me

You've got a secret
Hidden out of sight
Here's where you keep it
and where you'll be tonight
I'll wait for you to show
and no one can ever know
This was tricky, but easier than you thought,
but now you're feeling guilty because you know I'm catching on
It didn't make it better, that I read it in your letter
there's no denying that it's your handwriting
Does that knot in your stomach make it hard to breathe?
It's hard to look at you and even harder to ask you to leave
You try to tell me that no one else knew
Your words mean so little, 'cause I can't believe you
This is tricky, but easier than you thought
But now we're feeling sick 'cause you didn't expect you'd get caught
It didn't make it better, that I read it in your letter
there's no denying that it's your handwriting
Everything's a secret,
Hidden out of sight
Here's where we'll keep it
and where I'll be tonight

False Starts

Calling your own shots
You're here to stay
you needed them behind you
it's like you never went away
they're bringing out your best
by always being up to task
you can put that behind you,
the lonely, solo artist mask
False Starts
No more false starts
No longer apart
the perfect orchestra
performs the score for aching, broken hearts
was everyone sleeping
while you kept writing?
everyone had schedules
that kept you from deciding
No more false starts
No longer apart
the perfect orchestra
performs the score for aching, broken hearts
Was everyone sleeping?

Your Evolution
It wasn't what we expected,
But that's way things are
you left it all so unprotected
and now you're lost in the dark
and who'd have thought
going the distance
meant you had to go that far
It's time to make your move, boy
and pass on through that door
and reinvent and rearrange
things you've passed before
bring about a new way
a sun to rise that will light your way
bring about a new way
a sun to rise that will light your way
from this darkened path
you've walked upon...up 'till this day

Distant Sea
You went away for a temporary change
A chance to travel and think about things
From the very first day, you felt misplaced
Now in your new life everything has space
Somewhere across the ocean
On the shore of some distant sea
I hope you'll look to the skies unexpectedly...and think of me
Once you came to visit and shared with your friends
All that you'd learned in the short time you'd spent
You didn't stay long, spread yourself too thin
And before I knew it, you'd gone away again
Somewhere across the ocean
On the shore of some distant sea
I hope you'll look to the skies and think of me

We might never know who let down who
I've tried my best, it was the least I could do
with one last open end, we searched for words to say
that there might be another way
what could we do to make it better?
what could we do to change or minds?
the last thing you look for, ends up being what you find
I'm sure I've left you wondering,
How it could've came to this
The hardest things to let go of
Are what you wouldn't think you'd miss
All the things we thought we'd thought of
have become so hard for us to dismiss
what could we do to make it better?
what could we do to change or minds?
the last thing you look for, ends up being what you find
If we choose not to show the feelings the conceal
the wounds of our words won't have time to heal
