Parallel Lines
I’m tired of shoveling the ashes
After everything goes up in flames
While all you do is throw up your hands
Leaving me with all the blame
But I’m not going to lie down
In the middle of the road
You don’t need permission to leave this behind
And I’m not going to play the fool anymore
Not going to try and change your mind
There are so many things left undone
So many things that you didn’t say
Yeah, you, you were in the fire
But as cold as stone on that rainy Christmas Day
But I’m not going to lie down
In the middle of the road
You don’t need permission to leave this behind
And I’m not going to play the fool anymore
Not going to try and change your mind
Throw it in the fire
Watch it go up in flames
Throw it in the fire
Watch it go up in flames
Throw it in the fire
Watch it go up in flames
Throw it in the fire, fire, fire
Do it again
Rearrange
So it’s all before you now
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna have to show?
I can see you wanna break
Take it all back, rearrange, let go
Try not to get the best of me
I’ll craft my words so carefully
Smell the gas burn, I wasn’t even aware
Take the time back, before it needed repair
There’s only so far I can come before there’s nowhere left to go
Take it all back, I wasn’t even aware
Trace the line back, back to when we cared
There’s only so far we can come before there’s nowhere left to go
Throw it all away, don’t let it get the best of you
I can’t hear what you say, but you’ve got it all wrong
Throw it all away, not gonna turn around to look
I could be brave, just rearrange, rearrange
Try not to get the best of me
I’ll craft my words so carefully
Smell the gas burn, I wasn’t even aware
Take the time back, before it needed repair
There’s only so far I can come before there’s nowhere left to go
Take it all back, I wasn’t even aware
Trace the line back, back to when we cared
There’s only so far we can come before there’s nowhere left to go
So it’s all before you now
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna have to show?
I can see you wanna break
Take it all back, rearrange, let go
There’s only so far I can come, before there’s nowhere left to go
I know the time is now to rearrange
Only so far I can come, the time is now to rearrange

Little Things
These little things keep building up,
This cliffs’ getting harder to climb
This divide is growing deeper
And words can buy us very little time
These little things keep building up
And it’s hard to see
Exactly where you’re standing
Or exactly where I want to be
There’s a time when you have to go
There’s a time when you have to go
There’s a time when you have to go
Where the feeling is not there
And heaven knows
That the outcomes’ hardly fair
There’s a time to go
Where the feeling is not there
And heaven knows
That the outcomes’ hardly fair
These little things keep building up,
I don’t how or when
I can’t remember the beginning
All I can see is the end
Little things, little things, are building up

Build
Line up all the wrong ones,
Pick them out of a crooked line
I don’t remember
Feeling faded, faded but fine
You can’t remember reasons,
You really can’t remember why
It seems to have slipped your mind
Why you chose to say goodbye
Every morning you say
Complacency is on your side
But we all make our beds, the ones in which we lie
Gotta find, gotta find my way out of this
Gotta find, gotta find my way back to you
You’re the reason I’m trying to tear it down
It’s not easy, but we build it new
Build it new
Build it new
I built up a tower
Piling everything up in sight
Didn’t know what I was waiting for
‘Til you showed up and I couldn’t hide
You can’t remember reasons,
You really can’t remember why
It seems to have slipped your mind
Why you chose to say goodbye
Every morning you say
Complacency is on your side
But we all make our beds, the ones in which we lie
Gotta find, gotta find my way out of this
Gotta find, gotta find my way back to you
You’re the reason I’m trying to tear it down
It’s not easy, but we build it new
Build it new
Build it new

No. 5
Could I have been a little clearer?
Perhaps a little more understood?
I tried to tear it all down for you
Disassemble the pieces where I knew I could
Am I feeling what I’m feeling?
Human or machine?
The sum of parts or something more
Tell me what it really means
We’re all running from the bad guys
Trying to figure out if we’re alive
We wanna take the unintended path
No resistance — we short circuit
I can’t make sense of all this info
I feel a storm brewing inside
It’d be easy not to feel at all
Easy to give in to my pride
Am I feeling what I’m feeling?
Human or machine?
The sum of parts or something more
Tell me what it really means
We’re all running from the bad guys
Trying to figure out if we’re alive
We wanna take the unintended path
No resistance — we short circuit
We short circuit, yeah yeah yeah
We’re all running (x3)
We’re all running, yeah
We’re all running from the bad guys
Trying to figure out if we’re alive
We wanna take the unintended path
No resistance — we short circuit
