Hold my hand and help me calm my breathing
Take my head and hold it to your chest
Let me listen to your heart beating
Lay me down and let me rest
Turn off the lights when you leave
Then lock the door and take my keys
I need you more than you’ll ever need me
But you’ll never find out

I'm A Man

I walk this road
I chose this path
And I’ll see it through
However long it lasts
When my heart stops beating
That’s when I’m dead
But until then I’m not looking back
You can try to keep up for a while
But you will run out of breath
You wouldn’t be the first to try
But you’d be the first to last
So when I need you I’ll call
I wouldn’t be waiting by the phone
‘Cause I’m a man, there’s no doubt
I can do it alone
I can feel you watching
Looking for a weak spot
Well look as long as you like
You won’t find anything
I’m moving at my own pace
I’m taking up this whole space
And you won’t get closer than you are right now
So when I need you I’ll call
I wouldn’t be waiting by the phone
‘Cause I’m a man, there’s no doubt
I can do it alone

Too Much Too Soon

It’s too much, too soon
No other reason
It seems like yesterday
And my mind is made up
Of picture postcards of changing seasons
Please read the signs
I can’t say no
I wouldn’t dare
Please grab your coat
Say take me home
I’ll bring you there
I don’t mean no harm
Please believe me
But my heart is filled up
With excess rain of years gone by
And leaves that block the drain
My love, I can’t say no
I wouldn’t dare
Please read the signs
And grab your coat
I’ll take you home
And I’ll kiss you goodnight
It’s too much, too soon

Leech
04:33

Wish you well, give you hell
Which part of me you trust to be true
You choose
Can't you tell, it's someone else
Treats you like I never thought I would
It's all the same to you
It's all the same to you
A hungry man needs food to eat
Before his body eats itself
Leeches they need blood you see
I'm just trying to help
But it's more than I can take sometimes
Responsibility
I can't be the prey myself
Gotta feed the leech
It's all the same to you
It's all the same to you
If it's all the same to you
It's all the same to me

Something Anything

This kid amidst the trees
I wonder what he sees
I’m getting older
And I scare so easily
It seems my fantasy
Got bored of me and left
And took my memory as it went
All these things I took for granted
Understand that they were never meant for me
A voice that’s never clear
That I can’t help but hear
But I need silence, I need sleep
I need relief
That’s too close to home
Wanted abstract images
Something to translate
A paperweight for my fate
Oh, just give me something
‘Cause I need to know I’m on the right track
Some meaning
‘Cause I really need it now
Oh, just give me something
‘Cause I need to know I’m on the right track
Anything
‘Cause I really need it now

Mirror

You’re my mirror on the wall
My reflection, my reflection
You’re my mirror on the wall
I will answer when you call
In your eyes I see the truth
In your cracks I lose my youth
You’re my mirror on the wall
I will answer when you call
I’m the one you always call on
When you’ve got something to say
I’m the one who always listens
I’m the one who’s always there
Always close just like a shadow
Always fair and always true
I’m as clear as a reflection
When you see me you see you
So be easy, easy on me
I’m your mirror, mirror please
Be easy on me
And you’re twisting and you’re turning
Keeping me awake at night
I can’t understand your mumbling
But I know that things ain’t right
‘Cause you stiffen when I hold you
Trying to calm you down
And I wonder what you’re thinking
When you look at me and frown
So be easy, easy on me
I’m your mirror, mirror please
Be easy on me
So be easy, easy on me
I’m your mirror, mirror please
So be easy, easy on me
I’m your mirror, mirror please
Be easy on me
