I drop my head not to look at the stars Sometimes I wish there were no stars at all If I sleep before tomorrow Please be sure to wake me up I've gotta be awake for this I raise my head as to look the stars Raise my fist, yell bring it on If I sleep before tomorrow Please be sure to wake me up I've gotta be awake for this

Siren 02:22
A siren rang the day you died reminding me that I'd never make it alive If only you had time to realize it was never your at all and it had been that way all along I could have made a stand But I couldn't dare to stand We could have made a stand But we didn't dare to stand to you To you the dark dark light of this william tell routine of life was clear as night To be honest we all knew you'd be floating upstream before long So I couldn't take a stand If we couldn't take a stand I couldn't take a stand We couldn't take a stand

A mark you left just called my name late at night After months of waiting I had hardly heard a sign So I listened closely I thought I heard you there hanging in the closet Saying we need some time alone But I know you're there hanging in the closet So we're never quite alone I'd help you stand all on your own to touch the keys I'd prove to you I can sing right through the silence I thought I heard you there hanging in the closet Saying we need some time alone But I know you're there hanging in the closet So we're never quite alone

Legal Pad 02:23
For what it's worth we're safe In this double bed on the floor But it won't be long before its not too long Until distance knocks on our door A handwritten notice delivered on a legal pad That time is up, your time is up Pack your bags and leave For what it's worth we're safe In our separate shoes on the ground A handwritten notice delivered on a legal pad That time is up, your time is up Pack your bags and leave this place for good
