Lyrics


Rescue Car

Rescue car, drove it down around myself
And here you are, with a look, that writes the book
You took me far, now I’m close, so damn close
To who you are, let me out into who you are

There’s nothing else I need
All along we took away and gave us a way
There’s nothing else I need
All along we took away and gave us a way

It won’t take long, to get us out of an open wound
We’ll kiss the scars, and clean it up with what we are
There’s one last place, I’m going to come if you’re going to stay
It’s open the space, you’re the quickest car to get me to this place

There’s nothing else I need
All along we took away and gave us a way
There’s nothing else I need
All along we took away and gave us a way

Drive up the winding road, know were the same
when we need something

Rescue Car, drove it down around myself
Rescue Car, drove it down around myself
Rescue Car, drove it down around myself
Rescue Car, drove it down around myself

Unseen

Cold nights, can’t tear us apart.
White light, heals our hearts

It’s alright that everyone knows
The many times I’ve tripped in the deepest holes
Safe all night with your embers glow
Shining through the depths of the dark hallow

You found home, you rose to the stars
Long days, can’t keep us apart

It’s alright that everyone knows
The many times I’ve tripped in the deepest holes
Safe all night with your embers glow
Shining through the depths of the dark hallow

It’s alright that everyone knows
The many times I’ve tripped in the deepest holes
Safe all night with your embers glow
Shining through the depths of the dark hallow

In a world of so many your unseen
In a world where I am lost and it’s just me
Your clearly here to set me free
Your clearly here to set me free
White light

It’s alright that everyone knows
The many times I’ve tripped in the deepest holes
Safe all night with your embers glow
Shining through the depths of the dark hallow

Words

A Whole new night, Radiant Souls
As a sea is fed by melting snow the structures built by heated coal
I feel so far, from the morning light
Brilliant minds take in the air, and suffocate without a care

I know what I want to say, but words don’t save the day
Am I safe in my actions, while all those words are raining down

Impressions make, a grand facade
Mighty is deception’s will, A house of truth is stronger still

I know what I want to say, but words don’t save the day
Am I safe in my actions, while all those words are raining down
I know what I want to say, but words don’t save the day
Am I safe in my actions, while all those words are raining down

So much is said but does it all mean much
can words for storms that darken the sky
I know I have lived lies for a day
but now I strive for honesty I changed

I know what I want to say, but words don’t save the day
Am I safe in my actions, while all those words are raining down
I know what I want to say, but words don’t save the day
Am I safe in my actions, while all those words are raining down

Modern Life

Think before all we’ve said is gone
Promise me we will still go on
Has the grasp sealed away what’s done?
Will you try to catch the morning sun?

Modern Life can lift you up and out
Modern Life Can help you when in doubt
Just think about us

Close the books in the old study
There is no need to open history
Leave behind the hurt and pain and run
Will you try to catch the morning sun

Modern Life can lift you up and out
Modern Life Can help you when in doubt
Just think about us

Just think about us, don’t think about him
Just think about us, don’t think about him
Just think about us

Say What You Mean

Had to make up for lost time
So I met you down at the state line
I am going to tell you what I need
I hope you would do the same for me

You probably say you don’t need a thing
but I know inside that you need me
You probably lie and string some long tale
and hide behind your concrete vale

Say what you mean or don’t say a thing
Say what you mean or don’t say a thing

When you walked in the diner door
You were looking like a pessimist
I picked up your glasses off the floor
Here I am the optimist

Say what you mean or don’t say a thing
Say what you mean or don’t say a thing

I forgot about what’s right inside
so I had to tell you a great lie
that I don’t need a thing for you
But I know deep down It just aint true

Say what you mean or don’t say a thing
Say what you mean or don’t say a thing

Ooh I can’t let a day go by, another day go by

Say what you mean or don’t say a thing
Say what you mean or don’t say a thing
