---A New Winter---
Well everything that was gold
It bronzed over time
This new winter's new cold
Plays tricks on my mind
Well, less than two weeks of fall
That's no season at all
I'm not buying it, winter is here
The cold air makes it clear

So we look back on our lives
And we try to seem peaceful and free
But when you sever ties 
And build fences
Then my boy you'll see
That you won't get ahead, 
It will hurt you instead
And you'll lie in your bed, 
And dream you're better off dead
But don't lower your head, 
Keep your chin up 
And spread your love
To anyone you consider your friend
And when you bend, just don't break
Cause I'm here in your wake 
And I'm not afraid, no not I
I'm not afraid

Well everything that was gold
I placed in your hands
This new winter's new cold
Keeps testing my scarf's strands
But you're not even mine
You're just a girl in your prime
Yeah, with looks so divine
She tied it snug around my spine!
So now I wear it like a sign
To show that you are on my mind
So if you ever feel inclined to stay for one more night
Then I wouldn't mind
---State Of Confusion---
The days go by so fast
When you are doing what you love
And when you don't 
Have a single care in the world
Then life is simply enough
	
But when they see you 
In a state of confusion
You know they will try to tell you 
What they are sure you need to know
They'll say you don't know if 
You're coming or you're going 
But you just need some time to grow
So go on and grow

So when you go 
Walking through your mind
Seeing all of those things 
That you lost
Just take those bad memories 
And put them out of your thoughts
When life is simply enough...
	          
And when they see you 
In a state of confusion
You know they will try to tell you 
What they are sure you need to know
They'll say you don't know if 
You're coming or you're going 
But you just need some time to grow
So go on and grow...
---I Was On My Way (Back To You)---
I kept my face like glass
Always reflecting 
What you were trying to see
There is a still image in my mind That i stay true to
But that you will never know
No, you just get 
What I want you to believe
But thats not even 
What I stand behind
And I know that you're in love
Oh,but I keep thinking of
All the trials and the way 
That my heart sings
Oh, all the trials, and the way 
That my heart sings
And that night when you tried 
To give me everything
But I just couldn't take it from you

I was on my way
I was on my way back to you
Angela, Angela

Back to lie down 
Where I crawled out from
And I saw your eyes in the stars
In the stars, in the stars
Yet I couldn't find the strength 
To drive right past your house
Why does my heart always want
What my brain will never 
Seem to let me have?
---Too Much Ain't Enough---
The darkness of the night 
Was never enough to make us sleep
We spread out lines and stood in rows
Anxious for that pleasure 
That we so often seek
It goes straight to your brain
Like we go straight to your brain

Cause too much ain't enough
Until you fall on your face 
And can't pick yourself up
Said too much ain't enough
Until you've fallen from grace 
And you can't find your way out Without losing the friends 
That you thought you'd always love
Or that you thought 
You would always have...

So you go wandering 
Through blackened streets
But you're never alone 
With the company you keep
The paradise of late night 
Keeps us in a state of longing now
We're longing still for longer night
You're longing for joy that last for More than just an hour or so
But oh oh, when you're calling me
At all hours of the night
Driving me out of my mind
I can't find a reason 
To keep you in my life...

Justin found an island of 
Concrete and sand 
While Dave braved the water 
Through the cold 
And his troubled mind
Tesh all the laughter 
You brought to our lives
Lives in our hearts 
And stays on my mind
And to this day 
It still makes us smile
Joe always knew how 
To handle the chaos
While Ben helped us to 
Expand our minds…

But oh oh, you were never there
When I, I felt down on my luck
And i never thought that I
I would give up so easily
But now that you no longer
Give a fuck, I am free, 
And I will always be... 
Yeah, I will always be free
When you're not here
To bring me down...
---Drawn By Sound---
O! there's this girl 
That I've seen around
When she's not high 
She's always bringing me down
So when she comes around my way
I know she wants to know 
What I've been up to
But, oh my god, 
What have I gotten myself into now?

Well there's this place 
Right on the edge of town
That I found one night 
I was drawn by sound
So I stumbled in 
And to my surprise
In there I see those same green eyes 
That I fell for under 
Grey dark skies one night

And I fell hard, 
Yeah there's no doubt
So when I opened up my mouth
The following words all came out
"I want you to be mine, 
Don't be scared"
You know I'm yours and I don't care 
What anybody thinks or sees
And I was thinking that 
I just might be
Able to set you free
