Lyrics

Kaleidoscope Heart

All the colors
Of the rainbow
Hidden 'neath my skin

Hearts have colors
Don't we all know?
Red runs through our veins

Feel the fire burning up
Inspire me with blood
Of blue and green

I have hope
Inside is not a heart
But a kaleidoscope

_____________________________________________________________

Uncharted

No words, My tears won't make any room for more,
And it don't hurt, like anything I've ever felt before, this is
No broken heart,
No familiar scars,
This territory goes uncharted...

Just me, in a room sunk down in a house in a town, and I
Don't breathe, no I never meant to let it get away from me
Now I'm, too much to hold, everybody has to get their hands on gold,
And I want, uncharted.
Stuck under the ceiling I made, I can't help but feeling...

I'm going down,
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around,
Like you'll show me where to go,
I'm already out, foolproof ideas, so don't ask me how
To get started, it's all uncharted...

La la la-a-a-a.
Oh-h-h.

Each day, countin' up the minutes, till I get alone, 'cause I can't stay
In the middle of it all, it's nobody's fault, but I'm
So alone, Never knew how much I didn't know,
Oh, everything is uncharted.
I know I'm getting nowhere, when I only sit and stare like...

I'm going down,
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around,
Like you'll show me where to go,
I'm already out, of foolproof ideas, so don't ask me how
To get started, it's all uncharted.

Jump start my kaleidoscope heart,
Love to watch the colors fade,
They may not make sense,
But they sure as hell made me.

I won't go as a passenger, no
Waiting for the road to be laid
Though I may be going down,
I'm taking flame over burning out

Compare, where you are to where you want to be, and you'll get nowhere

I'm going down,
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around,
Like you'll show me where to go,
I'm already out, foolproof ideas, so don't ask me how
Oh-h
I'm going down,
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around,
Like you'll show me where to go,
I'm already out, foolproof ideas, so don't ask me how
To get started, it's all uncharted...

Gonna Get Over You

Goodbye
Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?
Layin' down the law that I live by,
Though maybe next time

I've got a thick tongue,
Brimming with the words that go unsung
Simmer then the burn for a someone,
A wrong one

And I tell myself to let the story end,
My heart will rest in someone else's hand
My 'why not me?' philosophy began,
And I say

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday

Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me
Keep me when I'm hurting and make me,
Hang from your hands

Well, no more,
I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door
If I make it at the thought of you, what for?
It's not me anymore

And I'm not the girl that I intend to be,
I dare you darling, just you wait and see
But this time not for you but just for me,
And I say

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday

I stand corrected,
I know too well
And now it's much too late for you for me as far as I can tell,
Oh I say, oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday

Hold My Heart

Never meant to be the one to let you down
If anything,
My fault
I saw
Myself going first
Didn't know how to stick around,
I couldn't see anybody but me getting hurt
I keep remembering those summer nights,
And the conversations breaking up on me
I didn't wanna tell you you were right
Like the seasons changed and Oh
I felt it too

Does anybody know?
How to hold my heart
How to hold my heart
I don't want to let it go
Let go, let go too soon
I wanna tell you so,
Before the sun goes dark,
How to hold my heart
I don't want to let it go
Let go, let go of you

I can't try to tell you lies
But the truth is,
You've been
Hiding, from it too
I see him there sneaking in behind your eyes
Saying things no words could ever do
Oh

Does anybody know?
How to hold my heart
How to hold my heart
I don't want to let it go
Let go, let go too soon
I wanna tell you so,
Before the sun goes dark,
How to hold my heart
I don't want to let it go
Let go, let go of you

Is anybody listening?
Cause I'm crying
Oh-Oh-Oh
Is anybody listening?

Does anybody know?
How to hold my heart
How to hold my heart
I don't want to let it go
Let go, let go too soon
Does anybody know?
How to hold my heart
Cause I don't wanna let it go,
Let go, let go of you
I wanna tell you so,
Before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
Cause I don't wanna let it go
Let go, let go
I don't want to let it go,
Let go
Of you

King Of Anything

Keep drinking coffee
Stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by
You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em
But I never asked
So let me thank you for your time
And try not to waste any more of mine
And get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you, babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save

CHORUS:
Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?

You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
Swear you know best
But you expect me to jump up on board with you
And ride off into your delusional sunset

I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction, oh
But you'll never see
You're so busy making masks
With my name on them in all caps
You've got the talking down, just not the listening

CHORUS

All my life, I've tried to make everybody happy
While I just hurt and hide waiting for someone to tell me
It's my turn to decide

CHORUS x2

Let me hold your crown, babe

__________________________________________________________________

Say You're Sorry

Circus of silence down at our feet
Paper cut tigers starting to bleed
Hang from your tightrope above the mess
Just say you're sorry, no more no less
Words you won't use, you don't feel them like I do
Show will be over soon

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry

I used to believe that the storybook's true
Now I don't need it, at least not with you
So if you see him, the man 'neath the mask
Tell him I'm leaving and not looking back
Words are no use, you don't need them like I do
Show will be over soon

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you're sorry

I want the one word that you refuse to say to me
You're so good at giving me responsibility
I wash my hands clean and let you watch me as I go
I'm sorry for you, just so you know

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you're sorry

The Light

In the morning it comes, heaven sent a hurricane
Not a trace of the sun but I don't even run from rain
Beating out of my chest, heart is holding on to you
From the moment I knew
From the moment I knew

You were the air in my breath filling up my love soaked lungs
Such a beautiful mess intertwined and overrun
Nothing better than this, ooh, and then the storm can come
You feels just like the sun
Just like the sun

And if you say be alright
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say be alright
I'll follow you into the light

Never mind what I knew, nothing seems to matter now
Ooh, who I was without you, I can do without
No one knows where ends, how it may come tumbling down
But I'm here with you now
I'm with you now

And if you say be alright
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say be alright
I'll follow you into the light

And if you say be alright
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say be alright
I'll follow you into the light

Basket Case

I don't want to talk about it to you
I'm not an open book that you can rifle through
The cold hard truth that you'll see right to
I'm just basket case without you

He's not a magic man or a perfect fit
But had a steady hand and I got used to it
And a glass cage heart and invited me in
And now I'm just a basket case without him

You're begging for the truth
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case

I don't say much and it'll stay that way
You got a steel train touch and I'm just a track you lay
So I'll stay right here underneath you
I'm just a basket case and that what we do

You're begging for the truth
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case

Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams?
Oh, send your armies in of robbers and thieves
To steal the state I'm in I don't want it anymore

You're begging for the truth
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case

Let The Rain

I wish I were pretty,
I wish I were brave,
If I owned this city
I'd make it behave
If I were fearless,
I'd speak my truth
The world would hear this
That's what I wish, I'd do
Yeah-Ooh

If my hands could hold them
You'd see
I'd take all these secrets
And I
I'd move and mould them
To be something I'd set free

I wanna dock it in the skies,
Holding the flood gats up
I won't change my mind
I wanna be in love
I want the water in my eyes
I wanna cry until the end of time
I wanna
Let the rain
Come down and make a brand new cloud
Let the rain
Come down
Let the rain
Come down and make a brand new cloud
Let the rain
Come down
Tonight

Oh don't you worry,
So tired
But it's safe in here right next to my heart
I wanna shout from the top of my voice
Let me go! Let me out!
This is not my choice
I always found it,
Before, the world was filled with
Much more, than drowning souls that I learned to be
I guess I'll, let the radio remind me

I wanna dock it in the skies,
Holding the flood gats up
I won't change my mind
I wanna be in love
I want the water in my eyes
I wanna cry until the end of time
I wanna
Let the rain
Come down and make a brand new cloud
Let the rain
Come down
Let the rain
Come down and make a brand new cloud
Let the rain
Come down

I wanna let the rain
Come down and make a brand new cloud
Let the rain
Come down
Oh, I do
Let the rain
Come down and make a brand new cloud
Let the rain
Come down

I wanna let the rain
Come down,
Make a brand new cloud
Let the rain
Come down on me
Oh, Oh Oh-Oh
Let the rain,
Come down
Tonight

Machine Gun

Tell me off in a letter
Completely ignore me
Getting high off of saying
Why you don't adore me?

Baby, please, I'm well versed
In how I might be cursed
I don't need it articulated

Stand in line wasting
All of your time just to hate me
Every dime gone to ways
You can find that might bait me

And drag me down, sight set proudly
Bring me to the ground see
You love to be somebody's enemy

Maybe nobody loved you when you were young
Maybe, boy, when you cry, nobody ever comes
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Machine gun

Locked and loaded
You're practically floating away now
In your fortress you feel like
You're more or less safe now

But let me say I don't mean harm
Oh, but, baby, you'd be charming if you'd come undone
Get back where you started from

Maybe nobody loved you when you were young
Maybe, boy, when you cry, nobody ever comes
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Machine gun

Never mind how you've rationed your time
And the battle is underway
Maybe times are gonna change
Don't just hide in the silence behind

What you've really been trying to say
What a skill, baby, aiming to kill me
With words you don't mean

Maybe nobody loved you when you were young
Maybe, boy, when you cry, nobody ever comes
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun

Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Machine gun

Not Alone

It comes calling in the evening
When the temperature is dropping out
They said it don't get cold here
But I beg to differ now

There is something in the shadows
More than sister silhouette
Something sinister and strange
That I haven't seen yet

And I don't want to be alone
Sky, don't let the sun go
I'm not ready for the darkness
Swear upon a heartless soul

And I don't want to cry when you go
Stay a little longer, you know
You're making me feel
I'm not alone

You don't have to fight the bad guys
Throwing punches out into the black
If you have to tell me lies, I don't care
Just give me some good back

I don't want to be alone
Sky, don't let the sun go
I'm not ready for the darkness
Swear upon a heartless soul

And I don't want to cry when you go
Stay a little longer, you know
You're making me feel
I'm not alone

And if I only worry 'bout it
Worry 'bout it, worry 'bout it
I just keep breaking down
Breaking down, breaking down

Boy, I could do without
Do without, do without
A night of the bad dreams, sad things
Tell me what that means

I don't want to be alone
Sky, don't let the sun go
I'm not ready for the darkness
Swear upon a heartless soul

And I don't want to cry when you go
Stay a little longer, you know
You're making me feel
The monsters aren't real
You're making me feel
I'm not alone

Breathe Again

Car is parked, bags are packed, but what kind of heart doesn't look back
At the comfortable glow from the porch, the one I will still call yours?
All those words came undone and now I'm not the only one
Facing the ghosts that decide if the fire inside still burns

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again

Open up next to you and my secrets become your truth
And the distance between that was sheltering me comes in full view
Hang my head, break my heart built from all I have torn apart
And my burden to bear is a love I can't carry anymore

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again

It hurts to be here
I only wanted love from you
It hurts to be here
What am I gonna do?

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again

Bluebird

Word came through in a letter
One of us changing our minds
You won't need to guess who
Since I usually do
Not send letters to me
That are mine

Tell him I saw it coming,
That I'd practically packed up my things
Was glad at the time
And I said I was fine,
But all honesty knows, I wasn't ready
No

And so here we go bluebird
Back to the sky on your own.
Oh, let him go bluebird,
Ready to fly,
You and I,
Here we go,
Here we go

This pair of wings worn and rusted
Like a carnival ride in the rain
They can carry me, swear to be
Sturdy and strong, but see
Turning them on still causes me pain

Leave my love in a letter,
Next to the bed on your side.
I've gathered my things, I'll make the best of these wings
And me and my bird take to the sky

And so here we go, bluebird
Gather your strength and rise up
Oh, let him go bluebird
Oh, let him go bluebird
Oh, let him go bluebird
Ready to fly,
You and I,
Here we go...
