Before you go won't you tell me one thing
Will you keep your ring?
It doesn't have to live on your finger
I just want to know that the memories linger
Just like mine
I'm tired of my mind and all its stupid what-if games
Now that I'm the only one who plays
Was the future so easy to forget
Everything we hadn't done yet
You went running as fast as you could
Did the wind in your hair feel so good?
Did it feel better than me?
I'm giving up on me and everything I know
It feels so good to let it go
Was that how it felt to you
When you threw my love away
And you went running as fast as you could
Did the wind in your hair feel so good?
Did it feel better than me
And I don't care if slow and steady wins the race
If that means that I'm alone for the rest of my days
Because I fell in love with a sprinter
And she ran away
You went running as fast as you could
Did the wind in your hair feel so good?
Did you stop to think of what you'd left behind?
Or just give chase to some new joy in your life?
Did it feel better than me?
Did you think of that as you leave?
Do you still feel better than me?

New Habits

Whisky and my regret in the afternoon
Not the type of meal that you would approve
But your approval means less to me now
Thought you'd have figured that part out
What could you do?
Oh no it's not your fault
What could anyone at all?
Feeling insecure in the fading light
After trying so hard to share my mind
Took me too long to finally understand
No one wants to hear from a broken man
And who's to say?
Oh no it's not your fault
Who can say at all?
At all
Four in the morning my mind is on the move
Lately it's just had so much to do
It paces back and forth on all your words
Until the sunlight wakes the birds
What could you do?
Oh no it's not your fault
What could anyone at all?
And who's to say?
Oh no it's not your fault
Who can say at all?
At all

I am a god-fearing man
I'd fear anyone who'd leave us in this forsaken land
A clock with no maker, spinning without a plan
I am a god-fearing man
And I'm just biding my time
I'm going nowhere but somehow still leaving behind
False starts and failures spread across the prime of my life
I'm just biding my time
They say "if you shoot for the moon you'll land among the stars"
But we know the cold black of space is where the better odds are
Death is in fashion this year
Even love's admitting it's time to wipe the ledger clear
Or maybe everyone but me has overcome their fear
Death is in fashion this year
They say "if you shoot for the moon you'll land among the stars"
But we know the cold black of space is where the better odds are
They say
They say
I don't remember my dreams
I die in every one, don't tell me what you think that means
I don't need to know the thoughts that slip between the seams
So I don't remember my dreams
They say "if you shoot for the moon you'll land among the stars"
But we know the cold black of space is where the better odds are

Minor Changes
03:56

The polls are all closing, we celebrate minor changes
With 8 million people, all of them have strangers' faces
Maybe it's time you ask what you're doing here
Maybe it's time you ask what you're doing here
Cut taxes and healthcare, your boss cut your hours to part time
But they won't cut the rent and you can't cut the buzzing in your mind
Maybe it's time you ask what you're doing here
Maybe it's time you ask what you're doing here
You could get ahead
Or so you've read
If you just knew where to aim your sights
But your heroes are hanging
From their hotel railings
And you feel like time is passing you by
Maybe it's time you ask what you're doing here
Maybe it's time you ask what you're doing here
Everybody's singing about the death of the heart
But silence abounds around other important parts
Like your will to live
Your hope the sun will rise
Or the duty you feel
When you look in another's eyes
Maybe it's time you ask what you're doing here
Maybe it's time you ask what you're doing here

It was an honor to serve at your feet
To go with you wherever you went
To lay my body down to break
And make myself the first monument
Monument
To the kingdom of your mongrel heart
To the kingdom of your mongrel heart
I have this dream of poisoning oceans
I would do it if you would command
Let the North Atlantic boil and die
And then make my pilgrimage on land
On dry land
To the kingdom of your mongrel heart
To the kingdom of your mongrel heart
Forgiveness is compassion looking backward
When behind you are the most heinous crimes
A sacrificial sacrament
A sacrilegious sentiment
Is all I bring to mind
For the kingdom of your mongrel heart
For the kingdom of your mongrel heart
Some serve at the pleasure of the president
Others say "God save the queen"
But do or say whatever
It doesn't really matter
Only you will know what I mean
I've been trying to describe my devotion
To tell my family who I am
To share with them who I've become
Now that I have learned to be a man
Be a man
In the kingdom of your mongrel heart
In the kingdom of your mongrel heart

An open book
To your favorite page
Was all it took
For the ink to fade
A photograph
To illustrate
That the times we laughed
Have passed away
So burn it all, burn it down
Your old life is smoke and cinders now
Burn it down, down to the marrow
Can't hold ash, it's time to let it go
An open door
You can walk right through
The monster's there
Waiting for you
So arm yourself
With your new name
It will serve you well
As your new flame
To burn it all, burn it down
Your old life is smoke and cinders now
Burn it all, down to the marrow
Can't hold ash, it's time to let it go
Burn it all, burn it down
Your old life is smoke and cinders now
Burn it down, down to the marrow
Til the embers finally lose their glow
Burn it all, burn it down
Your old love is smoke and cinders now
Burn it down, down to the marrow
Can't hold ash, it's time to let it go

I've got a heart that's as good as gold
And you can count on it
I've got a heart that will never erode
I've got a heart of stone
I've got a heart that's as good as gold
And you can count on it
I've got a heart that will never erode
And you can count on it
I've got a heart that's millennia old
And you can count on it
I've got a heart that will never erode
I've got a heart of stone

I Wanna Be Sedated

Twenty twenty twenty-four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do nowhere to go
I wanna be sedated
Get me to an airport and put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go insane
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain
Oh oh
Twenty twenty twenty-four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do nowhere to go
I wanna be sedated
Put me in a wheelchair and get me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go insane
I can't control my fingers, I won't control my brain
Oh oh
Twenty twenty twenty-four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do nowhere to go
I wanna be sedated
Put me in a wheelchair, take my dumb ass to the show
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go loco
I can't control my fingers and you don't wanna know
Oh oh

There's a difference between your brain and you
One's what's happening, the other who it's happening to
You're just a victim here, there's nothing you can do
All well wishes come from a particular well
All well wishes come from a particular well
There's no single sandy grain of truth
That doesn't have something to sell to you
You can't get the point without getting the point of view
All well wishes come from a particular well
All well wishes come from a particular well
The shadows in my room
Know as much about the light as I do about the truth
It's somewhere beyond me field of view
It's beyond my field of view
So be careful with the research that you do
Your opinions will make friends of very few
No one's as concerned with the how as with the who
All well wishes come from a particular well
All well wishes come from a particular well
All well wishes come from a particular well
All well wishes come from a particular well

I Still Do

You might not love me anymore
It seems that you've forgotten what my affection's for
You've lost something you need to find in you
You don't want this but I still do
I might not be putting up a fight
But what's the point in proving myself right
When it still feels wrong for me to sleep alone each night
You said it can't work when I thought it might
So now we go our separate ways
With memories cut in two
Into an empty expanse of days
Where I still love you
So we won't be remaining friends
You know that's not how this kind of story ends
A fresh start with an open wound
Because you don't love me but I still love you
