You (Are Not The Reason)
02:12

You are not the reason,
I lie awake at night,
You are not the reason,
Though I think it's what you'd like
Do you take me for a fool
Or a decent conversation
I lie awake at night
And you are not the reason
Oh it's all fun and it's all games,
It's just another stupid way
To say, I need affection
Oh I need affection
And even if my skin turned green
You'd never see my jealously
You cant defy gravity
Cause it's what keeps us down
Yeah it's what keeps us down
You are not the reason,
I lie awake at night,
You are not the reason,
Though I think it's what you'd like
Do you take me for a fool
Or a decent conversation
I lie awake at night
And you are not the reason
No you are not the reason
Can you hear the laughter
It's saying its goodbye
You've got to laugh sometimes my dear
Just laugh or you will cry
I need a shot of vodka
And a good nights sleep
But mostly I need something
To PG-12 my dreams
Oh when I lie awake at night
You don't plague my thoughts
It's more a 'hey that is the side of the bed
that I don't frequent much'
Do you take me for a fool
Or a decent conversation
I lie awake at night
And you are not the reason
No you are not the reason
Oh I lie awake at night and you are not the reason.

February smokes a cigarette
on the street corner
oh her lips are full and her eyes are blue
and you
aren't sure what it is you're doing
February sends you all her love
her dress is red and gorgeous
but her head is full of lust
and you
aren't sure what it is you're doing
no you aren't sure what it is you're doing
February smokes a cigarette
on the street corner
oh you're telling her to wait
but it isn't all that late
oh February has a smoking problem
she'll make you groan until you shudder
but she's not a loyal lover
and she
isn't sure what it is you're doing
no she isn't sure what it is you're doing
and somewhere out there
there's a girl, just been dumped
and she's crying her eyes by an ATM
and somewhere out there
there's a boy who just broke that girls heart, heart
and I'll comfort her to the best of my ability
and hope that someday somebody'll do the for me
for me, for me
oh February smokes until she cannot taste
February smokes until her voice is a waste
February smokes until she starts to fade
till she starts to fade
till she starts to fade
till she starts to fade

Little Footsteps
04:25

Little footsteps
On the stairwell
Little fingers
Waving farewell
Little footsteps
Walking slowly
Through the debris that's lying before me
Little footsteps
Don't look at me
Little curls
That used to fall freely
Little footsteps
Walk right past me
It's quite a question
That you've got there
It's quite a complex that you've got there
Oh I've got the unnerving feeling
That you're not finished speaking
Little footsteps
Walking faster
See the boys that are hurrying past her
Little footsteps
Walking into the fire
F I R E
Little footsteps cannot hear the shouting
Little footsteps don't know where they're going
Look up, look up
The sky is burning
It's quite a question
That you've got there
It's quite a complex that you've got there
Oh I've got the unnerving feeling
That you're not finished speaking
And HEY
Did you think it would all work OUT
Did you think you could tear it DOWN?
Was it worth all the HOPE and doubt?
And now that your world is finally turning to dust
And now that you've bargained away all the last of your trust
They say they teach freedom and love
They still say they teach freedom and love
Little footsteps
On the stairwell
Little fingers
Waving farewell
Little footsteps
Not a symbol
Just a child who's not home for dinner
Little footsteps
Not a martyr
Just a child who got lost in the warfare

Hurricanes

Somebody told me if I close my eyes
That reality would be eaten alive
It would scream in the stars
Begging for mercy
It would go down in flames
And beg for some mercy
Cause late at night when the children are sleeping
When the dark beckons out
And God isn't listening
When the people you care who you call your friends
Will be down on the ground willing it all to end
They'll be down on the ground willing it all to end
I miss you like a city misses hurricanes
We didn't start the revolution
In your bed
But we cause confusion inside your head
We didn't start the revolution
In your bed
It's not a revolution if people aren't losing their heads
It's a shame when imagination runs low
When you're down in the dumps
And you're all on your own
When you the hurt the people that you weren't meant to
And revolution can't handle you
The revolution can't handle you
The revolution can't handle you
I miss you like a city misses hurricanes
I miss you like a city misses hurricanes
We didn't start the revolution
In your bed
But we cause confusion inside your head
We didn't start the revolution
In your bed
It's not a revolution if people aren't losing their heads
People aren't losing their heads
I miss you like a city misses hurricanes
I miss you like a city misses hurricanes
I miss you like a city misses hurricanes
I miss you like a city misses hurricanes
