CLOSURE
THE BROKEN VIEW
2. TOO SOON
1. MAN OF TOMORROW
We all remember
what they left of him
They looked on and laughed
At a time we couldn’t bare
the weight
And they say
Where were you when he came into town?
Quit your hiding, boy look around
We know not on which he rode
But the man bore a story
Once heard, must be told
A better way is on the way now
And our hearts belong on our sleeves
But they made an example of him to make sure
The man of tomorrow won’t come again
He won’t come again
Look what happened to the martyr they made of him
People walked for miles to see where he’d lay
Where were you when he came into town?
Quit your hiding, boy look around
We know not on which he rode
But the man bore a story
Once heard, must be told
A better way is on the way now
And our hearts belong on our sleeves
But they made an example of him to make sure
The man of tomorrow won’t come again
No, he won’t come again
He said, “What are you running from my son
Don’t hang your head for the things you’ve done
Live your life in honesty”
And mama said, “You’re just like me”
He said, “What are you running from my son
Don’t hang your head for the things you’ve done
Live your life in honesty”
And mama said, “You’re just like me”
Where were you when he came into town
Quit your hiding, boy look around
We know not on which he rode
But the man bore a story
Once heard, must be told
A better way is on the way now
And our hearts belong on our sleeves
But they made an example of him
Now the man of tomorrow is just like me
You’re just like me
Art is a lie
Nothing is real
A waste of my time
I don’t want to feel
Anything that doesn’t make me feel alive
I’m waking up dead
With ghosts in my bed
Wishing my world would start again
If I knew what this meant
Maybe I could stop, yeah
And then you call me last night
Wondering how I’m doing fine
I guess maybe where I stand is
A better place than here
And baby it’s a Long way down
Maybe we said goodbye
Too soon to make up our own minds
Oh, why?
We’re shouting out but can’t make sound
Another lame excuse and we’re out of time
Too soon to make up our own minds
Oh, why?
But in the real world
You say I don’t have to waste my time
Lay it out now, get in and get out of this town
And then you call me last night
Wondering how I’m doing fine
I guess maybe where I stand is
A better place than here
And baby it’s a Long way down
Maybe we said goodbye
Too soon to make up our own minds
Oh, why?
We’re shouting out but can’t make sound
Another lame excuse and we’re out of time
Too soon to make up our own minds
Oh, why?
And then you call me last night
Wondering how I’m doing fine
And baby it’s a Long way down
Maybe we said goodbye
Too soon to make up our own minds
Oh, why?
We’re shouting out but can’t make sound
Another lame excuse and we’re out of time
Too soon to make up our own minds
Oh, why?
3. US
4. NOBODY KNOWS (WHO SHE IS)
Under from wherein lies our amazement
Is where we fell out of love
Come now, to where we grieve in stages
Before the daylight comes
Maybe in time
We could get tired of adding up
Every dime
Just to find worth in this
Or you can tell me what you’re waiting for
Some nights, I dream about the old days
I put my phone down, honey
Pick myself back up again
If our love’s just a crack in the pavement
Another step might curb
The overestimation
Maybe in time
We could get tired of adding up
Every dime
Just to find worth in this
Or you can tell me what you’re waiting for
“And I still love you, don’t you understand?”
“Then do me a favor, will you? Leave.”
“Go away, go away someplace before I ruin your life
As well as my own.”
“It’s you and me. Out of everybody in the world. Us”
“We’ll get out of it. We’ll make them understand
Just how it was.”
And maybe in time
We could get tired of adding up
Every dime
Just to find worth in this
Or you can tell me what you’re waiting for
Tell me what you’re waiting for
Poor man
He’s changed his ways
Poor man
Makes you wonder what went astray
Got a new girl
She weighs heavy on his mind
Yeah, he’ll swap the button up for leather
And only small talk about the weather
She’s got a hold on him
Tighter than a noose
Whispering pretty little evil thoughts
He’s feeding a love that will eat him alive
And who she is, nobody knows
She comes in, dressed in burning red
No one dares to meet the eyes
Fear she’ll take them with him to the end
The violence he feels
In silence is surreal
You know he’ll love her till the end
She’s got a hold on him
Tighter than a noose
Whispering pretty little evil thoughts
He’s feeding a love that will eat him alive
And who she is, nobody knows
She’s got a hold on him
She’s got a hold on him
She’s got a hold on him
Tighter than a noose
Who she is, nobody knows
5. THROW AWAY THE KEY
I don’t have to see your pretty face
Or dance with your memory
To know I’ve done what’s best for me
And I don’t have to use my god-earned grace
To sleep with the enemy
Just to casually put salt my wounds
So you can have your cake and eat it too
Cause that’s what you wanted, isn’t it?
To kill off everything we wanted
Locked away like a renegade soldier
The only way that we’ll ever get closure
So throw away the key and don’t ever
Let me out
Oh, you’re the poison in my veins
I did all but lie to you
Maybe the next time I will learn
But for now
It’s taking it’s toll on me, it’s true
Cause that’s what you wanted, isn’t it?
To kill off everything we wanted
Locked away like a renegade soldier
The only way that we’ll ever get closure
So throw away the key and don’t ever
Let me out
We lost our way like a needle in a hay stack
Into the fray, we’ll remain and never come back
So throw away the key and don’t ever
Let me out
Just let me sleep
Don’t let me dream
It echoes deeply and we
No longer want to be freed
Just let me sleep
Don’t let me dream
It echoes deeply and we
No longer want to be freed
Locked away like a renegade soldier
The only way that we’ll ever get closure
So throw away the key and don’t ever
Let me out
We lost our way like a needle in a hay stack
Into the fray, we’ll remain and never come back
So throw away the key and don’t ever
Let me out
6. STRUCK A NERVE
Baby, it’s a long way down
Look outside the window pane
Whistling your siren song
Willing to be beneath your waves
Struck a nerve
Got hurt
A thousand devils at the party said,
“You get what you deserve”
Knives out
Cold pop
You have the right to remain
But oh my god, I struck a nerve
(Struck)
Baby there is one way now
Exit down the fire escape
Throw your hands out now
We’re in a state of emergency
Lover, was I even close?
I don’t need to know
Struck a nerve
Got hurt
A thousand devils at the party said,
“You get what you deserve”
Knives out
Cold pop
You have the right to remain
But oh my god, I struck a nerve
Where does love take you?
And how far, how far?
Does love take you?
And how far, how far?
Oh, does love take you?
And how far?
(Struck)
Struck a nerve
Got hurt
A thousand devils at the party said,
“You get what you deserve”
Knives out
Cold pop
You have the right to remain
But oh my god, I struck a nerve
You have the right to remain
But oh my god, I struck a nerve
8. TIME
7. I WANT TO HOLD YOU (FOREVER)
Roll back the curtain
It’s time to face the truth
You’re so certain
Wanna take it on alone
But if it’s so emotional
You cried yourself to sleep
You’ll find out when the morning comes
Your tears have turned to glaze
And I-I-I want to hold you
Forever
Yes I-I-I want to hold you
Forever
Here I am
If you doubt it then you know it now
Oh baby, you’re the light that blinds
The night away
When it’s heavy, it’s cold
You hold onto me
Through the wind and the rain
The lord knows it’s in vain
Take it all, then take more
All’s fair when we’re at war
Well, I’ll never falter
When I’m next to you
All or nothing
Gonna make it out alive
And I-I-I want to hold you
Forever
Yes I-I-I want to hold you
Forever
Here I am
If you doubt it then you know it now
Oh baby, you’re the light that blinds
The night away
When it’s heavy, it’s cold
You hold onto me
Through the wind and the rain
The lord knows it’s in vain
Take it all, then take more
All’s fair when we’re at war
And I know that I can’t help it
When we’re causing up a scene
But you’ll never catch me lying
Or saying what I don’t mean
When you’re gone
No, it just don’t feel right
I’m in love and it’s so plain to see
Here I am
If you doubt it then you know it now
Oh baby, you’re the light that blinds
The night away
When it’s heavy, it’s cold
You hold onto me
Through the wind and the rain
The lord knows it’s in vain
Take it all, then take more
All’s fair when we’re at war
And I-I-I want to hold you
Forever
Yes I-I-I want to hold you
Forever
I feel it all
One step at a time
And nothing’s alright now
And you know I care
But I feel withdrawn
You found out my weakness
So don’t let it go
And I’ll learn to show
Maybe I don’t need you
Or maybe we just need time
To carefully get through
Yeah, maybe I just need time
These skeletal, primitive minds
Are all that remain of our former selves
So don’t let it go
(Don’t let me go now)
And I’ll learn to show
(I’d risk it all for you)
And I’ll be there to
Ignite our youth
And I’ll fight till
That light dies out
Maybe I don’t need you
Or maybe we just need time
To carefully get through
All the lies you had ever said
Running through my head
Maybe at the end
We could stop all this pleading
And say no
Maybe I don’t need you
Or maybe we just need time
How could something so priceless be so frail?
We could lose here forever without fail
No beginner’s luck, no sign of faith
I can not just let you walk away
Maybe I don’t need you
Or maybe we just need time
To carefully get through
All the lies you had ever said
Running through my head
Maybe at the end
We could stop all this pleading
And say no
Maybe I don’t need you
Or maybe we just need time
And everything’s alright now
9. WAIT AND SEE
10. IF I STAY
We aren’t emotionless
But tainted by the way we live
And I wouldn’t bate this breath
If I could’ve saved the rest
I remember when
These dreams were all I had
Stand up for what you want
Hold onto everything you’ve got
And now it’s harder than
It ever had to be
You’ll be surprised of the things
I’m capable of, just wait and see
Now, we made the most of it
Before I was over it
Blinded by colorless
Designs of a former wish
Maybe we won
Maybe we’re done
Long live the reasons I kept
Holding on and on
We won
Maybe we’re done
Long live the reasons I kept
Holding on and on
Maybe we won
Maybe we’re done
Long live the reasons I kept
Holding on and on
And I remember when
These dreams were all I had
Stand up for what you want
Hold onto everything you’ve got
And now it’s harder than
It ever had to be
You’ll be surprised of the things
I’m capable of, just wait and see
I’ve been losing sleep
And It’s killing me
And all the memories
Flood back to me
And maybe you
Have been there all along
If it’s true
Just tell me where I belong
And if I stay
Would you never want to leave
This harbor we’ve made?
And through heartache
Just know these walls hold
Our memories safe
Echoes of lullabies
Seem to immobilize me
Through could’ve been’s
And what if I’s
So if I stay
Would you never want to leave
This harbor we’ve made?
From the core of our family
We create a reservoir of our beliefs
It’s a memory, the blood I bleed
Love lost in a reverie
And maybe you
Have been there all along
If it’s true
Just tell me where I belong
And if I stay
Would you never want to leave
This harbor we’ve made?
And through heartache
Just know these walls hold
Our memories safe
Echoes of lullabies
Seem to immobilize me
Through could’ve been’s
And what if I’s
So if I stay
Would you never want to leave
This harbor we’ve made?
Al the could’ve been’s
And What if I’s
From the core of our family
This is where I belong
