Should I be guilty when I feel
A little pinch of doubt
I'm certain of my choices most of the time
But it's these little moments of fear that start to freak me out
It's just the natural reaction
To getting tied down
I was so young when I gave you everything that I own
And once and a while it makes me feel a little hollow
When I fall down
You'll stick around
And I know that I'm bound to meet some shaky ground
So I'll snuggle into the ball and chain
'Cause it anchors my heart and guides my reins
And I trust your every vow
Oh I trust your every vow
You took the weight off my whole world
And I got some of yours
I think if we both try to make each other a little better
Then my confidence will stay secure
When I fall down
You'll stick around
And I know that I'm bound to meet some shaky ground
So I'll snuggle into the ball and chain
'Cause it anchors my heart and guides my reins
And I trust your every vow
Oh I trust your every vow
You take me
You make me
More than I'd ever be
Like fire
And iron
Forging our destiny
You take me
You make me
More than I'd ever be
Like fire
And iron
Forging our destiny
When I fall down
You'll stick around
And I know that I'm bound to meet some shaky ground
So I'll snuggle into the ball and chain
'Cause it anchors my heart and guides my reins
And I trust your every vow
Oh I trust your every vow
Oh I'll snuggle into the ball and chain
'Cause it anchors my heart and guides my reins
And I trust your every vow
Oh I trust your every vow

Four Walls

Look up an inch
Won't you darling
So I can see into your eyes
And if I touch
Where your lips are
Will I feel them slightly dry?
If only those four walls
That are around you
Could be the same
As the four of mine
Let out a laugh
Won't you darling
So I can find some peace of mind
'cause it's that smile
That avails me
And it's that joy
I long to find
If only those four walls
That are around you
Could be the same
As the four of mine
Don't hang your head
It's coming darling
And I know
We'll make it through
There might be miles
In between us
There ain't no miles
I won't run for you
If only those four walls
That are around you
Could be the same
As the four of mine
If only those four walls
That are around you
Could be the same
As the four of mine

Who Knew

This weight is still around
It did not fall when I knelt by the tree
And I know I found my rest
This yoke is easy
But the burden just isn't light
Who
Who knew
What my heart
Could do
To my body
I'll try and keep it up
But with each step
I'm closer to the ground
My joints just can't hold on
I'm on a plunge
I'm breathing in the dust
Who
Who knew
What my heart
Could do
To my body
And hope, it trickles down
This mount I'm bound to be
Climbing every day
Reach out my fingertips
And try to catch a drip of it
And touch it to my lips
Who
Who knew
What my heart
Could do
To my body
Who
Who knew
What my heart
Could do
To my body

Hazard (of my love)
04:29
|

Don't you know my heart is like a candle flame
It will glow 'till all my body melts away
So I'll go on lighting up your world my dear
I hope you know it's not an easy thing
As we keep on burning through this life we share
I will breathe in all the smoke and ashy air
I may scream and clutch my lungs in bitter pain
But still I'll keep on pushing through for you
If I burn for you
If I bleed for you
Don't worry 'bout it
It's just a hazard of my love
If I burn for you
If I bleed for you
Don't worry 'bout it
It's just a hazard of my love
If this fire will torture us through all our days
It's my desire to stay with you through every flame
And be forever in love with you my sweetest friend
My heart's fire will burn for you always
If I burn for you
If I bleed for you
Don't worry 'bout it
It's just a hazard of my love
If I burn for you
If I bleed for you
Don't worry 'bout it
It's just a hazard of my love
If I burn
If I bleed
It's just a hazard of my love
If I burn
If I bleed
It's just a hazard of my love
If I burn for you
If I bleed for you
Don't worry 'bout it
It's just a hazard of my love
It's just a hazard of my love
It's just a hazard of my love

Cautionary Tale
05:17
|

Watch me
I'm inspiring
It's a miracle
How I'm everywhere but nowhere all at once
Look out
You could get sucked in
Catch the "cynical"
Breath me in and suddenly you're in a rut
I'm standing on the edge
of that coveted closure
If I close my eyes and fall
Will all of it be over?
I've tried so many roads
Thought you promised I would find my way to Rome.
Oh am I a cautionary tale
Of floating aimless through the fog
Ah ooh ah ooh I heard the siren songs cascade around me
But didn’t feel them pull at all
I was afraid, I was afraid
I was afraid, was afraid
Not now
I will track it down
Find my feet somehow
Stumbling is not what I intend to do
And my back is to the edge
Of that fugitive closure
I won't close my eyes and fall
I don't want it to be over
I've tried so many roads
Thought you promised I would find my way to Rome.
Am I a cautionary tale
Of floating aimless through the fog
I hear the siren songs cascade around me
But I don't feel them pull at all
I'm still afraid, I'm still afraid
I'm still afraid, I'm still afraid
I hear the siren songs
I hear the siren songs cascade around me
But I don't feel them pull at all
Giving in
Is not the worst of sins
Find some rest my friends
As long as you make sure you're surrendering to life
Now I turn around and face
The welcoming closure
I close my eyes and jump
I know I can make it over
I've tried so many roads
But I know that I can find my way back home
Oh I'll tell the cautionary tale
Of floating aimless through the fog
I heard the siren songs cascade around me
But I won't feel them pull at all
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
