No Name Face:

Hanging By A Moment

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
Closer to where I started
Chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
I don't know what I'm diving into
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in this world that could change my mind
There is nothing else

Sick Cycle Carousel

If shame had a face I think it would kind of look like mine
If it had a home would it be my eyes
Would you believe me if I said I'm tired of this
Now here we go now one more time

I tired to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to change this mind
You better believe I tried to beat this

When will this end
It goes on and on
Over and over and over again
Keep spinning around I know it won't stop
Till I step down from this for good

I never thought I'd end up here
I never thought I'd be standing where I am
I guess I kind of thought it would be easier than this
I guess I was wrong
Now one more time

This is a sick cycle carousel
This is a sick cycle, yeah

Unknown

This doubt is screaming in my face
In this familiar place
Sheltered and concealed
And if this night won't let me rest
Don't let me second guess what I know to be real
Put away all I know for tonight
And maybe I just might learn to let it go
Take away my security from me
And maybe finally I won't have to know everything

I am falling into grace
To the unknown
To where you are
To you

I got nothing left to defend
I cannot pretend taht everything makes sense
But does it really matter now
If I do not know how to figure this thing out

I am against myself again
Trying to fit these pieces in
Walking on a cloud of dust
To get to you

Somebody Else's Song

Can't change this feeling
I'm way out of touch
Can't change this meaning
It means too much
Never been this lonely
Never felt so good
Can't be the only one misunderstood

I remind myself of somebody else

Feeling like I'm chasing
Like I'm facing myself alone
I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head
I want some of my own

Can you see me up here
Would you bring me back down
Cause I've been living to see my fears
As they fall to the ground

I remind myself of somebody else

Feeling like I'm chasing
Like I'm facing myself alone
I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head
I want some of my own

Am I hiding behind my doubts
Are they hiding behind me
Closer to finding out
It doesn't mean anything

I remind myself of somebody else now

Trying

Could you let down your hair and be transparent for a while
Just a little while
To see if you're human after all
Honesty is a hard attribute to find
When we all want to seem like we've got it all figured out
Let me be the first to say that I don't have a clue
I don't have all the answers
Ain't going to pretend like I do

Just trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
The best I know how

Well, I haven't got it all figured out quite yet
But even if it takes my whole life to get to where I need to be
If I should fall to the bottom of the end
I'll be one step back to you

Only One

She's got a pretty smile
It covers up the poison that she hides
She walks around in circles in my head
Waiting for a chance to take me
A chance to break me
A chance to take me down
Now I see this burden you gave me is too much to carry
To much to bury inside

I guess you're the only one
That nobody changes
I guess you're the only one left standing when everything else goes down
You're still the only one
You're still the only one

It's all so shallow and all so appealing
I'm up to my ankles and I'm drowning anyway
In a sea of sarcastic faces
Familiar places where everything looks quite the same
Here it's all so confusingly amusing
Bitter and tainted, the picture you painted to me

I guess you're the only one that nobody changes
I guess you're the only one left standing when everything else goes down

Just cause it's all in your head
Doesn't mean it has to be in mine
Don't believe what you said
Still can't get it out of my mind
I've tried to find myself in approval
I've already been there, already done that
It got me nowhere
It brought me nothing
But a good place to hide in
No one to confide in now

I guess you're the only one that nobody changes
I guess you're the only one who will never change faces
I guess you're the only one

Simon

Catch your breath
Hit the wall
Scream out loud as you start to crawl
Back in your cage
The only place
Where they will leave you alone
'Cause the weak will seek the weaker until they've broken them
Could you get it back again
Would it be the same
Fulfillment to their lack of strenth at your expense
Left you with no defense
They tore it down

And I have felt the same as you
I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same

Locked inside the ony place where you feel sheltered
Where you feel safe
You lost yourself in your search to find
Something else to hide behind
The fearful always preyed upon your confidence
Did they see the consequence
When they pushed you around
The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones
Breaking them 'til they've become just another crown
Refuse to feel anything at all
Refuse to slip, refuse to fall
Can't be weak
Can't stand still
You watch your back, 'cause no one will

You don't know why they had to go this far
Traded your worth for these scars
For your only company
Don't believe the lies that they told to you
Not one word was true
You're alright, you're alright
You're alright

Cling and Clatter

Too many voices
It won't take long
Which one's right, which one's wrong
Yours is most likely to be misunderstood
Screaming in tongues at the top of my lungs
'Til I find you, 'til you found me
Somehow I always knew that you would

And I am contemplating matters
All this cling and clatter in my head
And what you said is ringing
Ringing faster
And it's all good if you would
Stop the world from making sense
And if I could just realize it doesn't really matter
It doesn't really matter
It doesn't really matter

If I could touch the sound of silence now
You know I would if I knew how
To make these intentions come around
I'm hearing without listening
And believing every word you are not saying
Speaking without a sound
Trapped inside of these four walls
Walking brainless muppet dolls
Mushroom face beneath the tangles
Bleeding silhouette inside
Dancing like an angel would

Breathing

I'm finding my way back to sanity again
Though I don't really know what I'm gonna do once I get there
Take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back in the arms of grace

I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than
To sit outside heaven's door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be

I am looking past the shadows of my mind
Into the truth and
I'm trying to identify the voices in my head
God, which one's you
Let me feel one more time
What it feels like to feel
And break these calluses off me
One more time

I don't want a thing from you
Bet you're tired of me waiting for the straps to fall
Off your table to the ground
I just want to be here now

Quasimodo

You could be right and I'll be real
Honesty won't be a pain you'll have to feel
'Cause I don't need your approval to find my worth
I've been trapped inside of my own mind
Afraid to open my eyes to what I'd find
I don't want to live like this anymore

There goes my pain
There goes my chains
Did you see them fall
There goes this feeling that has no meaning
There goes the world off of my shoulders
There goes the world off of my back
There it goes

Does it scare you that I can be something different than you
Would it make you feel more comfortable if I wasn't
You can't control me
You can't take away from me who I am
Have you ever felt that your only comfort was your cage
You're not alone, I have felt the same as you
Have you ever felt like your secrets give you away
You're not alone, I've been there too
Everyone is looking and everyone is laughing
But I think everyone feels the same
Everybody wants to feel ok
Everybody wants to
Everybody wants to feel
'Cause you can't change me
You can't break me

There goes the world off of my shoulders
There goes the world off of my back
'Cause I don't it

Somewere In Between

I can't be losing sleep over this
No, I can't
Give me a few hours
And I'll have this all sorted out
If my mind would just stop racing

I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
This cannot be happening

This is over my head but underneath my feet
Because by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat
And everything will be back to the way that it was
I wish that it was just that easy

I am waiting for tonight
Then waiting for tomorrow
And I am somewhere in between
What is real and just a dream

Would you catch me if I fall out of what I fell in
Don't be surprised if I collapse down at your feet again
I don't want to run away from this
I know that I just don't need this

Everything

Find me here
Speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That is leading me
To the place where I find peace again
You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the life to my soul
You are my purpose
You are everything

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this

You calm the storms
You give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall
You still my heart
And you take my breath away
Would you take me in
Would you take me deeper now

'Cause you're all I want
You are all I need
You are everything
Everything
