You lay all out these reasons why you're staying in bed You say "it's all in my head", oh yeah it's all in your head You can't remember a time you did a word that was said You feel as if you were dead, you feel as if you were dead And these hours fade away As you sleep in falling rain And these hours fade away Your twenty-something summers seem to pass in a blaze You walk around in a daze, what do you do with your days? Your sentimental wanderings leave a hole in your brain But a lantern in fog still moves ahead Yeah these alarm vibrations you can feel in your teeth As a familiar song runs through your head Yeah these alarm vibrations you can feel in your teeth As all these songs just wander through your head And these hours fade away As you sleep in falling rain And these hours fade away You lay out all these reasons why you're staying in bed You say, "it's all in my head," oh yeah its all in your head It's time for you to listen to the word that was said It's time to get out of bed, it's time to get out of bed Yeah these alarm vibrations you can feel in your teeth As a familiar song runs through your head Yeah these alarm vibrations you can feel in your teeth As all these songs just wander through your head

What do you do with broken memories? They parade by on display It hurts your fingers as you try to pick the shattered pieces up It gets harder everyday And as you try to sing your love songs The words stick in your throat I say, "God alone will love you" You say, "I wish he'd leave me alone" I say, "tell me what's got you feeling sunk" You say you'd rather stay home and just get drunk These thoughts about the world just drag you down Yeah, I hate you, you're the death under my skin Yeah, I hate you, you're the lies that lie within You know these twisted conversations I've been having with myself Everyday You ask why I'm so optimistic About a life thats filled with pain You say it's naive that I say that there's love inside all of your brokenness If God's around why won't he say? I say, "your mind's been corrupted by anger and fear" You say my mind's just been sleeping these twenty-some years A breath of perspective and get some sleep at night Yeah, I hate you, you're the death under my skin Yeah, I hate you, you're the lies that lie within You know these twisted conversations I've been having with myself Everyday, everyday You say that I'm foolish, you say that I'm desperate and full of fear But I know exactly who I am You say that you're reason, but reason is twisted like everything else I know exactly who I am

Splinter 03:58
Bring me that day my anger will be forgotten like the rain It comes down and falls apart and blows away Reconciliation in my heart and in my chest All you wanted from me were these twelve strange words "I trust you, I'll keep you, no matter what they say" It's hard to do that All I wanted from you was a glimmer of truth, Not deception and conflict and pain you cause my friends A swollen head, a broken heart, a swollen head Maybe it's all I need, and I should come over and out of this darkness But I've been deceived, to think I could be ever so candid around you And I lost my head in confusion, its all this illusion With a broken heart Bring me that day your folly will be forgotten like the waves The crash and break and flow the other way Sincere motivation in your heart and in your chest A swollen head, a broken heart, a swollen head Maybe it's all I need, and I should come over and out of this darkness But I've been deceived, to think I could be ever so candid around you And I lost my head in confusion, its all this illusion With a broken heart

Alone in my skin again, feeling my feet hit the floor I waste away wondering why people say there's nothing more Than the mass of flesh and bone that makes the beating of our hearts And the swirling around of chemicals that makes the longing start in our minds These aren't just thoughts, yeah they are lies These aren't just thoughts, yeah they are lies Alone in my head again, I think the things this sickness has brought They said one hundred thirty dead and more are bleeding out, when will this stop? These violent acts of men just match the violence in our chests These lies upon our lips just match the lies that are found buried in my chest These aren't just thoughts, yeah they are lies These aren't just thoughts, yeah they are lies God, we need your peace on earth, come rolling like a flood Into the desert of our hearts, into the cancer of our minds Bring restoration to our broken homes, our violence-stricken streets We need you These aren't just thoughts, yeah they are lies These aren't just thoughts, yeah they are lies

Stay 05:25
I would tell you to stay These fears that haunt you can be broken down by faith Don't let the demons in your mind carry you away Amidst the shadows he still holds on Yeah, stay This beating heart that weighs down your soul will fade All of the things you always think but never say Are like vapors in the wind Stay with me Don't let the anxiousness that sweeps your mind Keep you alone Don't hide with your fears in the dark Yeah you can't sleep And I can't see how it's going to end But i'm here 'cause you were always there with me in the dark Yeah, stay Grace and peace alone will keep your frost at bay Believe the things you never think but they always say Amidst your creeping doubts just hold on Yeah, stay Though your head it spins your God he still remains And his goodness endures despite your fear and pain Amidst your broken doubts just hold on Stay with me Don't let the loneliness that wanders in Keep you alone Don't hide with your fears in the dark Yeah you can't sleep And I can't see how it's going to end But i'm here 'cause you were always there with me in the dark

These days have been going over my head These days have been going over my head Time is a stranger I just cannot read A drop in the ocean, a lost soul at sea I'm barely hanging on The only thing I could say, is I need you The only thing I could say, is I need you The only thing I could say, is I need you The only thing I could say, is I need you These days I've been feeling so insecure These days I've been feeling so insecure My head is a monster I just cannot tame A wandering man who forgets his real name But you can calm my storm The only thing I could say, is I need you The only thing I could say, is I need you The only thing I could say, is I need you The only thing I could say, is I need you I'm barely hanging on I'm barely hanging on The only thing I could say, is I need you (I need you here) The only thing I could say, is I need you (I need you here) The only thing I could say, is I need you (I need you here) The only thing I could say, is I need you You can calm my storm
