Slow down, you move too fast
Take heed, before you crash
And burn, and tear yourself
Apart, and break in (two)
Too much, is never enough, for you
Alone, you seek no one
In solitude your own
Retreat, away from those
Who try, hard to enclose
your heart
Can't bear to part
I would've taken anything from
I would've jumped at any bone you threw
I would've written any song for
I would've sold my soul and died for you
But you can't hear me
And what can I do
Can't run, away from past
You try, so hard to last
Beyond's a much better place
Let go, and then embrace
Love, you must, give up, to me
I would've taken anything from
I would've jumped at any bone you threw
I would've written any song for
I would've sold my soul and died for you
But now it's over
And you can't hear me, or see me through
And what can I do
This time, will be
For an, eternity

Reality

So, you said you loved me
But it was just a dream
And now you're going to leave me
The pages left in between
This grand illusion
Another silly story in my head
Another self delusion
Another road down which I was misled
When will it ever end
When will you be, my reality
Why can't you see, you were meant for me
And when you said you need me
You were just pretending
And when you looked right through me
What were you feeling
And now I'm still searching
In all the little places in between
The only thing you've left me
Just a memory of a daydream
Why can't I be seen
When will you be, my reality
Why can't you see, you were meant for me

I hide
You fight
You say I'm dramatic
You're so cool
When I'm a slave to
You break all the rules
And you're elated
I'm such a fool
When we're separated
I still lose
Long face
Short fuse
I'm lost
You're amused
Wound up
Let loose
I cry
You're confused
And I'm dramatic
You're so cool
When I'm a slave to
You break all the rules
And you're elated
I'm such a fool
When we're separated

When will we get together
When will it be never
Together
Forever
And ever
How's the weather
Why won't you tread water
How are you getting hotter
You're drowning
It's resounding
And rebounding
I'm expounding
You're my baby, honey-pie
I tell you secrets, you tell me lies
Why do you just run and hide
When I can see through your disguise
Together
Forever
You say never
Say never

Tell me what do you see
When you're looking at me
Do I frighten you
Intimidate unconsciously
My love I pledge to thee
Do you see right through me
A lonely stranger in a sea
Observing complacently
I'm watching
I'm watching
I'm wondering
I'm waiting
I'm watching
I'm watching
I'm wondering
I'm...

It's almost time to go
Got your dad's radio
Where are you going
There's a strong wind blowing
Grounded, what's gone wrong
Jiji's voice is gone
Don't know where you're going
There's a clock tower glowing
One, two, three, four
Open up the attic door
Five, six, seven, eight
Don't forget to lock the gate
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Leave your potions on the shelf
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen
You're not the one who needs fixing
Look inside your soul
You'll know where you go
Jiji's given up his voice
Now you've got to make a choice
Leave your potions on the shelf
Find your purpose, find yourself
No more blindly falling
Hear that clock tower calling

Harvest Moon

One more harvest moon
'til you return to me
One more restless tune
That I will croon for you
One more sleepless night
Underneath your spell
One more cold embrace
An empty hollow shell
Do you feel me when you dream
Can I be heard, my prayers seen
Or do you simply scream
One more haunted room
In which you once loved me
One more lonely tune
My soul will bleed for thee
I still don't know what you will say
You might just turn and walk away
But still, I hope and pray
Just one more harvest moon
'til you return to me
One more restless tune
That I will sing for you
That I, that I
Will sing, will sing
For you, I gave
My heart, to set
Me free, 'til you
If you, so please
My love, my love
'til you return to me

Believe

Wearing her chaste skirt she spreads her legs
With flattery and feigned innocence she begs
In your best interest she'll declare her judgement
And you believe, you believe
You believe, you believe
Next time it will be you she warns her friends about
Disapproving whispers will soon push you out
And disparagement will follow without a doubt
And you believe, you believe
You believe, you believe
You'll look back at what you took for granted
Now a victim, she destroyed what you wanted
But just remember you led your life unexamined
And you believe, you believe
You believe, you believe

Sleepwalking

Took a shot but don't know how to aim right
Now you're staring at the wall
Try to hide the signs that you're awake and
Tell you that you're headed for a fall
Falling aimless, reaching out
The only thing to do is spread your wings
Pick your heartstrings off the floor and
Tell her that you love her in your dreams
Took a dive but don't know how to swim right
Now you're waiting for her call
Don't know how you're breathing under water
Just wanna bang your head against the wall
Saw a vision, the two of you together
But can't remember what she said
Now she's gone and nothing seems to feel right
You're fighting with the voices in your head
What are you waiting for
What is your dread
So many voices but you
Can't hear what's said
Think you see her smiling in the distance
Wondering if she feels the same
But too afraid to even just approach her
All you want to do is say her name
Looking down you walk right past her
Oblivious and waiting on a song
Just look up she's waiting for you
You'll find that she was right there all along
Falling aimless, reaching out
The only thing to do is spread your wings
Pick your heartstrings off the floor and
Tell her that you love her in your dreams

Last night I dreamt of you
You held out your arms
You thought that I would just succumb
To all your charms
You bade me from the light
And dried my tears
But then you stole my fire and
Took my fears
Who the hell do you think you are
What right do you have to save me
From myself
You tried to heal my wounds
Tried to rebuild me
You sacrificed yourself
In vain to move me
You keep trying to change me
Into something I am not
Keep trying to tame me
Fix me and untie my knots
You tried to love me but
I wouldn't let you
You tried to break me down but
I saw right through you
What you see is what you
What you see is what you
What you see is what you
...you see is
What...you...get
