Verse/Chorus: F Am F C
Bridge: C F C C Am G
A brush stroke on white canvas
You're painting versions of us
Pastel colors, sepia love
Black and white versions of
Straw man burning down
Straw man burning down
I've been your whipping boy
A convenient decoy
Set up to be destroyed
An arsonist's man boy
Straw man burning down
Straw man burning down
Straw man burning down
Straw man burning down
To be safe everywhere is to be strong nowhere
In love and war all is fair so let down your hair
It's better to leave wanting to stay then to stay wanting to leave
Straw man burning down
Straw man burning down
Straw man burning down
Straw man burning down

Don't Be Afraid to Doubt

Run, fly take this to another
If you want the truth business ever to recover
Go, find those who will listen
People who can hear and see through division
Pre Chorus:
Truth dig holes through misunderstanding
Careful not to dig through the ground which you’re standing
Run, fly take this to another
If you want the truth business ever to recover
Chorus:
Count to ten then wait
Close your eyes and hesitate
Put the fire out, don’t be afraid
To doubt
Don’t be afraid to doubt
Turn your back, turn your back to the storm winds
Still the breezes through the branches of your trees
Swim the deep, swim the deep of the restless sea
Still the current through the waves of belief

I'm Always Confused
02:34
|
|||
|
I'm always confused about what to do or say when it comes to you
If I stand my ground I may look down and see I'm solo at a table for two
If I move to the left, you'll move to the right and I'll be wrong
I'll fall back to the ground
I'm always confused when I'm with you
You're always amused when I say, "this time I 've made up my mind"
The conversation has not run dry but the floods are all the same kind
When I look at what's left, none of it seems right
It's all gone the certainty I'd found
I'm always confused when I'm with you
solo
I'm always confused when I'm with you
I'm always confused when I'm with you

Empty the Flood
02:20
|
|||
|
Take me away
Take me to the place where we all think
To live
Celebrate
We're all the same but our difference is our link
Empty my lungs of this flood I'm drowning in
Of thoughtless many who live to hate
Kill in the name, don't teach to tolerate
And they're killing one another cause they don't believe
In one another's absurd beliefs--no
Set me free
Or help them see
That it's not too late to collaborate
To listen to the Earth as she demonstrates
That all we have to do is learn how to listen
Believe what we can and not what we Christen
Or sanctify, or deify, the one true God or otherwise--no

Breaking Glass Hearts
02:23
|
|||
|
The snow was melting and the spring was on its way
My heart was opening and the wind blew out the grey
And in your dark eyes was everything I ever wanted
When you laughed or sighed it was like those eyes were also haunted
With the promise of love and the pleasures of a new day
Laughter and whispers of an easy game we both could play
It was a good time for breaking glass hearts into puzzles
Solving riddles and rhymes and dancing carefree through the puddles
It was the right line to tell you you were all I needed
The right time to sow the love we both had seeded
The leaves were turning brown and the winter was on its way
My heart was self destructing and the wind blew in the grey
And in your dark eyes still was everything I wanted
But somehow things had changed, I'd become the ghost that never haunted
With the promise of love or the pleasures of a new day
Laughter or whispers of an easy game we both could play
It was a good time for breaking glass hearts into puzzles
Solving riddles and rhymes and dancing carefree through the puddles
It was the right line to tell you you were all I needed
The right time to sow the love we both had seeded

You've been gone
Time's moved on
The world has change, our lives re-arranged, and the fading has begun
You've been gone
Time's moved on
It's overplayed, it's so cliche, it's a lesson for the dumb
But now that you've gone
And now times's moved on
I now know how to love
If I could rewrite farewell
I'd be sure before I closed the door to wish you well
If I could rewrite farewell
It'd be overplayed, so cliche,a lesson for the dumb
Cause now that you've gone
And now time's moved on
I now know how to love
You've been gone
Time's moved on
The world has change, our lives re-arranged, and the fading has begun

Rise and Shine

Rise and shine hello, good morning
I had a dream, the sunrise had honey eyes and a golden smile
I had a dream that the birds sang in harmony
Hey hey hey
Rise and shine, hello good morning
Rise and shine, let's start a new day
I had a dream that the sunrise was laughing, calling me a sleepy head
I had a dream that the birds were singing my favorite song
Rise and shine, hello good morning
Rise and shine, goodbye yesterday
There's no guarantees
So wake me up before you leave
Today we're moving on
Rise and shine, hello good morning
Rise and shine, goodbye yesterday
Rise and shine, hello good morning
Rise and shine, let's start a new day
Let's start a new day
