Seems my own arrogance has knocked me off my feet again,

When you know I'm crawling to you as fast as I can.

First teach me to walk and then I'll learn to dance for you,

Like an honest clumsy clown, tripping along the way.

Cause I'm reaching for you but my arms aren't long enough,

And I'm running to you if I could go a little faster,

And I'm crying to you but I can't hear my own voice,

And I am waiting for you, trying not to fall asleep now.

Cause I'm clumsily dancing away this fear,

I'm stumbling closer to you,

And I'm tumbling over my pride,

I will be a fool for you.

What are you thinking as you look down on me?

Are you frustrated with my inconsistency?

Or intrigued that I can find the will to get back up,

Or maybe all of this is simply amusing?

Cause I'm reaching for you but my arms aren't long enough,

And I'm running to you if I could go a little faster,

And I'm crying to you but I can't hear my own voice

I am waiting for you, trying not to fall asleep now.

Cause I'm clumsily dancing away this fear,

I'm stumbling closer to you,

And I'm tumbling over my pride,

I will be a fool for you.

Cause I'm clumsily dancing away this fear

I'm stumbling closer to you,

And I'm tumbling over my pride,

I will be a fool...

And I'm clumsily dancing away this fear,

I'm stumbling closer to you,

And I'm tumbling over my pride,

I will be a fool,

For you.

Crown of Scars

Forget about the fight to wear the crown of scars,

Cause you've already won.

Forget the pain and leave the tears behind you,

Bury underneath your feet the remains of what's been left behind,

Cause you have got a long, long way to run.

But now you dance the rest of the way,

And you don't look back.

Can you hear that angel singing as you rise?

Now you fly away,

And you don't look down now,

And you laugh till you can't laugh any longer,

As you watch your chains fall to the ground.

Will you fall against the wall that you have built with your own hands,

When you trip upon the thorns that you have tied your legs together with?

When you walk upon thin ice that you know you should not be walking,

Why do you wonder why that you fell through?

Now you fly away,

And you don't look down now,

And you laugh till you can't laugh any longer,

As you watch your chains fall to the ground.

I know you laugh and show tears,

Smile down at your fears from where you are,

From way up here,

You know nothing's ever looked so good,

Nothing ever looked so good.

But now you dance the rest of the way,

You don't look back,

Can you hear that angel singing as you rise?

And you fly away,

And you don't look down now,

And you laugh till can't laugh any longer,

As you watch your chains fall to the ground.

And you fly away,

And you don't look down now,

And you laugh till you can't laugh any longer,

As you watch your chains fall to the ground.

Mudpie

Nothing but a mudpie wrapped up inside with a pretty bow,

Nothing but a castle build on top of a swamp of quicksand,

And inside these cardboard walls and saran wrap windows,

Lies a rusty pot of fool's gold that you got with your life.

You thought you'd take a bad bet on loyalty,

You though you'd tell yourself to act like royalty,

Until the day you became his prey as you tripped over your incumbent.

You wash your hair in melaleuca oil then you wrap your head up with tin foil.

And prance around in your bathrobe pretending you're a king.

But you're spinning hard,

Sinking faster now,

Well you can follow your rainbows,

And I will follow the sun now,

Wherever he goes it's not too far to run,

So I will follow the sun,

Follow the sun.

Nothing but a calendar hanging on your wall that's 23 years old,

Nothing but a for sale sign on a house that's already sold,

Trying to chew through that chocolate covered barbed wire,

Cause there's among the beautiful filth waiting for you on the other side.

But you're spinning hard,

Sinking faster now,

Well you can follow your rainbows,

And I will follow the sun now,

Wherever he goes it's not too far to run,

So I will follow the sun,

Follow the sun,

Follow the sun,

Follow the sun.

Clever lives end up rusty and forgotten,

Brilliant minds end up with Alzheimer's,

What I thought was so deep ended up so hollow,

And what I thought had meaning ended up so shallow.

Yeah you can follow your rainbows,

And I will follow the sun now,

Wherever he goes it's not too far to run,

So I will follow the sun.

Yeah you can follow your rainbows,

And I will follow the sun now,

Wherever he goes it's not too far to run,

So I will follow the sun.

Storm

How long have I been in this storm?

So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form.

Water's getting harder to tread,

With these waves crashing over my head.

If I could just see you,

Everything will be alright.

If I'd see you,

The storminess will turn to light.

And I will walk on water,

And you will catch me if I fall,

And I will get lost into your eyes,

And everything will be alright,

And everything will be alright.

I know you didn't bring me out here to drown,

So why am I 10 feet under and upside down?

Barely surviving has become my purpose,

Cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface.

If I could just see you,

Everything will be alright.

If I see you,

The storminess will turn to light.

And I will walk on water,

And you will catch me if I fall,

And I will get lost into your eyes,

And everything will be alright.

And I will walk on water,

You will catch me if I fall,

And I will get lost into your eyes,

And everything will be alright,

I know everything is alright.

Fairy Tails and Castles

He says he looks in the mirror and he can't tell anymore,

Who he really is and who they believe him to be.

And he says he walks a thin line between what is and what could be,

And he's getting closer to something he can't understand.

Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown and his throne of ice is melting,

He climbed his ladder there was nothing there now it's a long way down.

Cause on and on and on he goes,

Dancing on the grave of what he thought was still alive,

And on and on and on he goes,

Dancing in mansions made of twigs and castles made of sand,

He says his head is filled with cartoons and fairy tales,

And he's trapped inside a dungeon of dolls with smiles on their faces.

He's built a pretty cage,

His show's on a beautiful stage with candy coated prison bars and chains that look like jewelry.

Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown and his throne of ice is melting,

He climbed his ladder there was nothing there now it's a long way down.

Cause on and on and on he goes,

Dancing on the grave of what he thought was still alive,

And on and on and on he goes,

Dancing in mansions made of twigs and castles made of sand,

Cause he lives inside of fairy tales and castles world,

And there's room inside for false expectations and illusions.

There's a crack in his plastic crown and his throne of ice is melting,

He climbed his ladder there was nothing there now it's a long way down,

It's a long way down.

On and on and on he goes,

Dancing on the grave of what he thought was still alive,

Hey on and on and on he goes,

Dancing in mansions made twigs and castles made of sand,

Cause on and on and on he goes,

Dancing on the grave of what he thought was still alive,

And on and on and on he goes,

Dancing in mansions made of twigs and castles made of sand,

Cause on and on and on he goes,

Dancing on the grave (on and on and on he goes) of what he thought was still alive,

And on and on and on he goes,

Dancing in mansions made of twigs and castles made of sand.

What's Wrong With That

How did I end up here?

Closer to nowhere,

In the middle of nothing,

And I'm one step back from where I was,

Spinning in circles

Gets old after awhile.

And you say if I fall I will

Fall straight into your arms

Should I trip over my feet.

And if I start to slip I will

Slip right onto my knees,

Into the center of your hands.

Because maybe someday I can learn to trust you,

And just stop thinking with my head.

Because maybe someday I could learn to let go,

I lose control but that's okay with me,

I lose control but tell me what is wrong with that?

Why do I have to know everything?

And why does everything always have to make sense?

Why do I always have to have you figured out?

Cause I just want to take your hand.

Cause you say if I fall I will

Fall straight into your arms,

Should I trip over my feet,

And if I start to slip I will

Slip right onto my knees,

Into the center of your hands.

Because maybe someday I can learn to trust you,

And just stop thinking with my head.

Because maybe someday I could learn to let go,

I lose control but that's okay with me,

I lose control but tell me what is wrong with that?

What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with maybe someday I will learn to trust you,

And just stop thinking with my head.

Because maybe someday I could learn to let go,

I lose control but that's okay with me,

I lose control but tell me what is wrong with that?

What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with that?

Revolution Cry

When passion takes on a purpose,

And searching ones embrace the light,

When skeptics find themselves down on their knees,

You'll know it's here.

When you hear a sound as loud as thunder,

And you hear a cry that shakes the ground,

Beneath you,

When you hear a shout that shatters the darkness,

You'll know it's here.

When the lost find a name worth believing in,

And the fallen get back up to their feet,

And the broken start to dream again,

And the sound of hope fills these streets,

You'll know it's here...

Revolution!

Can you feel it?

Revolution cry.

Revolution!

Can you hear it?

Revolution cry.

And I believe it,

And I believe it!

How long do we have to wait?

And how long will we stay silent?

Will this weeping generation dance again?

Oh, God, when will the truth be restored?

When the lost find a name worth believing in,

And the fallen get back up to their feet,

And the broken start to dream again,

And the sound of hope fills these streets,

You'll know it's here!

Revolution!

Can you feel it?

Revolution cry.

Revolution!

Can you hear it?

Revolution cry!

Revolution...

Can you feel it?

Revolution cry! -

And I believe it,

And I believe it,

And I believe it!

*B-Side Rarity*  The Edge

Flowers are blowing in the wind,

And I can see the sun setting on the hill,

It's almost gone,

And the hills are greener than I've ever seen,

And this feels too real to be just another dream.

Now don't let me leave this moment,

Hold me in this place,

Where everything is clearer than ever before,

And everything makes sense.

And you say, Stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall,

Take a breath and tell me what you see,

And you say, Stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall,

Take a breath and tell me what you see.

Welll, as we sat down by the water,

In my mind, I felt a gentle breeze,

Blow soft against my face,

And we talked for hours,

It didn't seem to matter what about,

As long as I was there with you.

You showed be what it is to believe in something greater than I can understand,

Yeah, you showed me what it is to believe.

And you say, Stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall,

Take a breath and tell me what you see,

And you say, Stand on the edge of tomorrow,

Don't close your eyes,

Take a look around you,

And tell me what you see,

Tell me what you see,

Tell me what you see.

And you say, Stand at the edge and don't be afraid to fall,

Take a breath and tell me what you see,

And you say, Stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall,

Take a breath and tell me what you see.

Tell me what you see,

Tell me what you see.

And you say, Stand at the edge and don't be afraid to fall,

Take a breath and tell me what you see,

And you say, Stand at the edge of tomorrow,

Don't close your eyes,

Take a look around you and tell me what you see,

Tell me what you see,

Tell me what you see,

Tell me what you see.
