Candlebox Album

Sounds to be where, you want to scream
Always left without saying hello
I’ve seen chains that bear less snap and fall long before you let go
Times run over you sink onto my floor,
It’s ok, we’ve cleaned them many times before
Simple lessons are, simple lessons are, simple lessons are,
Simple lessons are, simple.
Sounds might be where, yeah I want to cry
Always left before I said hello
He’s had days where shades of brilliance never granted him space
Green shades of painful rains, it’s ok, they’ll wash away now
Simple lessons are, simple lessons are, simple lessons are,
Simple lessons are, simple.
Always taught you how, drain yourself empty
Always taught you how, drain yourself empty
We’re all scarred up from ages of childish games
Yet I’ve never seen your head up higher
It feels real this time,
I see you happy again
Reel in it for a while, oh enough to take my place
Sounds to be where
you want to scream
Always left without saying hello
I've seen chains that bear less, snap and fall long before you,
Long before you let go

Turn me into, another corner
You see I’m sideways, I’m unopened
I let it before I lose myself, I’m empty and inspired alone
And I swear, I can say to you
And I swear, I can say to you
So I write it down, and slip away from faith
Frustrated and anxious to grow
Addressed in clothes that never fit my mind,
Letters said but never closed last time,
And I can say to you
And I swear, I can say to you
You tell me.
When did we start to drown?
You see I’ll hold you there
When did we start to drown?
Can’t you see it’s time we made it home
When did we start to drown?
When did we start to
So I see you turn it into your lines my way
You see I’m angry, and I’ll set you straight
Let it before I lose control,
And I swear, I can say to you
And I swear, I can say to you
Somebody tell me,
When did we start to drown?
You think I’ll hold you there
When did we start to drown?
Can you see it’s time we made it home
When did we start to drown?
Always on my mind (time for your temper)
Always on my mind (sent to my mind I know)
Always on my mind (I’ll hold your thoughts I swear, always)
So you turn to me, so you turn it
Turn me into another corner,
And you put me in this, this other corner
Turn it into another corner
You’ll tell me.
When did we start drown?
(You see I’ll hold you there)
When did we start to drown?
(Can’t you see it’s time we made it home)
When did we start to,
Drown?

Another lie for us to live in
Pages pick it up anytime she likes
Another life for her to put down, pick it up, pick it up
Anytime she might find enough to get her high
And I’ll get her high
Turn it off I found her weakness
Boxes filled with memories shavings
Lead into something better,
I heard it yesterday
Old news my friend,
She’s broken hearted
I know, she’d seen it all along,
She’s better off lately
They said it’s all she’s after,
Every time, every time
Can she free it?
Has it all been wasted?
Can we see her one last time?
Another lie for her to live in
Breakdowns, pull her out and knock us down every time
Another time for her to find out
And then she’ll fall down. Gently,
Until she’s broken hearted
I know, she’d seen it all along,
She’s better of lately
They said it’s all she’s after
Every time, every time
Can she free it?
Has it all been wasted?
Can she free it one last time?
Can she free it?
So when she lays her head down,
Do you read all the thoughts that she reads aloud,
She can, she can see through
And when she says he’s found out,
All the things that she though we would read about,
She can, she can see through
And when she says she’s played out,
All the dreams that she thought she could dream about,
Do you feel, do you feel, do you feel,
Do you feel the need to break free?
Is it all she’s made of?

Quiet down now, hush hush my friend
Quiet down now, hush hush my friend
When all the other left, when all the others left
When all the other left, when all the others...
I know you’d stick around, come here now
I know you’d stick around, come here now
When all the others talked, when all the others talked
When all the others talked, when all the others...
You’d always been my habit now
Colored bees and stomach aches,
Your friend’s in need and lovers quakes
My best friend, my, my very best friend,
My best friend, my, she never left my side
So come here now sit. Quiet down. Come here now sit
Quiet down now, quiet down friend
When all the others left, when all the others left
When all the others left, when all the others...
I knew you’d stick around, come here now
When all the others talked, when all the others talked,
When all the others talked, when all the others...
You’d always been my habit now
Your friend’s in need, and lovers quakes
My best friend, my, my very best friend,
My best friend, my, she never left my side
So come here now sit. Quiet down. Come here now sit.
So lie down now, quiet down friend
Lie down now, lie down now sit
My side so lie down and fight to find,
My side so lie down and fight for my,
My side so lie down, be good for my,
My side so lie down, be good for my,
Quiet down now, hush hush my friend
Cone here now, come here now sit
When all the others left, I knew you’d stick around
When all the others talked, I knew you’d stick around
Lie down now, lie down my friend
Lie down now, hush hush my friend
My best friend, my, my very best friend
My best friend, my, my very best friend

I’ll get so close to you
I’ll let you down my friend
You see it in this face
And hear it in these words
And I begin to know, and I begin to feel,
Everything I’ve wanted
And I become a man through you
You find out my needs, this separation,
Push away everything and anyone connected,
To you needs and to your life and to your ties
I’ll push it all away,
I said it’s all right there for you now
Hey I said it’s all right there for you to tell
I’ll let you down my friend, I’ll turn my back to you
I never meant to leave you, never meant to leave your room
You began alone, and you’ve begun again, all I wanted for you
I become alive through you,
Can you feel this constant resurrection of needs,
I’m sorry for those things I meant to help you, and I meant to fill you,
And I’ll always let you down,
And I’ll always put you out,
I said it’s all right here for you now
Hey I said it’s all right there for you to tell
Thought to feel it in your life
Thought to take your time to grow
I was sent to be here, left to hurt you,
This time it’s sad, you’ve gone
Hey I said it’s all right there for you now
Hey I said it’s all right there for you too
Hey I said it’s all right there for you now
Thought to feel it in your life
Thought to take your time to grow

How people tell you lies.
I thought you felt the same.
Somehow he thought you’d be there
Help him beat me down, again.
It’s all I know.
So you want for me, some things we never see.
Left alone to fill time.
So empty all your thoughts now, turn around your hate,
Take a look at me.
Hang on security.
It’s all been overrated, this life you live, it’s not your own.
There's no one here to help you.
It’s all been unadulterated lies, they’ll keep telling you
They’ll keep telling you, how I want to
Raise it on my own,
Nothing special maybe, nothing special lately
Time to feel it on your own, time you want to take control
So you’ve told them all,
I thought you looked the same
Do you need this light to help you see it clearer again?
Closer to my letter,
You’re sharper these days, roll on security.
It’s all been overrated, this life to live, it’s not your own
There’s no one here to help you
And it’s all been unadulterated lies, they’ll keep telling you
They keep telling you, how I want to
Raise it on my own,
Nothing special lately, nothing special maybe
Time to feel it on your own,
Time you want to take control
No now fall, call for me to fall for
Everybody wants to tell you something,
Everybody wants to fill your, nothing.
Everybody wants to break you out now,
Everybody wants to take you out now.
And everybody wants to tell you,
And everybody wants to fill you in.
Do you think it’s time to tell them?
Yes I think it’s time you shove them a little harder.
Yes I think it’s time that you pushed them over
Don’t you think it’s time you told them stop!
Raise it on my own no, no time to feel your soulless lately
Everybody wants to tell you something,
Everybody wants to bring you something,
Everybody wants to take you,
And everybody wants to bring you down
Time you feel it in your own,
Time you let them take control,
Time you fill their needs,
So empty all your thoughts my friends
For everybody wants to break you,
And everybody wants to push you around

Eyes to you every hand I see.
Eyes to you, very heavy in my hands.
Eyes raised up to your hand, my arms diseased
Eyes fall, eye follow you, and I’ll be,
Some thing’s not ready for
My love to you.
I’ve been this space for you.
Our crooked halos and I, I fall to you again.
Some things I, some things I’ve never been told.
Your head to me, heavy as I’m dropping down.
So you raise it to me, as my feet, my feet they hit the ground.
All for you my hands are burning,
All for you my knees they’re hurting.
I push it down for, I push it down for, I push it down for,
Some things not ready for
My love to you.
I’ll be your, your space to you,
Your crooked halo, and I fall, I fall, I fall to you again.
Some things I, some things I’ve never been told
Can you see that we’ve raced these lessons of our days,
We’re better off here yeah, we’re better off dead,
My eyes follow you,
Do you remember in our day?
Won’t you let it go
Can you see me my tired friend?
There's something I need to tell you.
I guess I meant to give to you a long, long road ago.
It’s all for your my hands are beating,
It’s all for you my mind, I’ve needed you.
I fall to you again, and I fall to you again.
There’s some things I’ve never been told,
There’s some things we’ve never shown
There’s some lines I’ve never told you,
There’s some times I, I’ve never showed you
Do you still need my time if I show it to you?
And do you still write it off every time I open to you?
I know it’s alright, I know it’s alright, I know it’s alright

Take everything I want to,
Break down every time I’m told to,
You steal every line I cling to,
And find out every lie I’ve told you.
And so you want to help me,
(Rushing in my state)
So you wanna help me
(And losing all my time)
So you wanna know me.
(I step aside my hate)
Who said you ever told me?
You lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, yeah
A puppet in my hand I’ll hold you,
Strung out on the line I sold you,
And bothered by the time I reach you,
Stepped in, by time, I fall.
And still you want to mold me,
(Rushing in my state)
So you wanna mold me.
(And losing all my time)
So you wanna know me.
(I step aside my hate)
Who said you ever told me?
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, yeah.
You lie yeah.
So you wanna know me,
You lie yeah.
So you wanna mold me,
You lie yeah.
Who said you ever told me?

All I know I see it, what for?
All I know you see it, what for?
Lies to, love to, feel it all
What I’ve dropped to,
And I never see what I want
Never see what I need
Now it’s for
To die for, To die for,
To die for, to die for
(Butterfly)
A simple change for me to
(Fly us home)
(Butterfly)
In your life you’ll feel it all
(Fly us home)

Well I fall, and I fall
Every light I need
Upon me place it all
Everything is simple to, simple for me
What I need
Some things matter,
Some things they feel
Set it for, to kill for,
I set it for to kill for,
Kill for you
(Butterfly)
Simple change for me to

Lie to me

At a stand still,
Somebody, somebody put me here.
As I heal you, it’s not that much difference,
We’ll be there.
Can’t you all see, what it says?
It says ok now, ok now, now you go.
And I think I’ll make it,
Because I love you, I love you yes you know.
It’s amazing, that we’re still here.
It’s amazing, how?
I know you fear me now,
Why did you leave it in my hands?
I can’t explain it,
How can you leave me out,
How can you push me out,
How can you push me, push me around again?
It’s amazing, that we’re still here
It’s amazing, how?
Turn it into my direction,
Why did you leave it, leave it in my hands?
How can you put me down, how can you put me out,
How can you push around, push me around again?
It’s amazing

To you. Separation, only to put it down.
To you. Desperation, only to be around.
So on and so under, misdirected in other words.
Always I wonder, is there anything I can do for you?
Anything I can do? Well I can do anything
To some, I’ve been singled out, always I take your fall.
To some, sane and broken down,
All we’ve left is dropping around you.
And you know these lines they’re open ended.
These books were meant to be followed,
And your rules left to be read
Is there anything I can do?
I can do anything.
I can do anything,
It’s vulgar before me.
Is there anything I can do?
I can do anything.
I can do anything
Vulgar before me,
Vulgar before me

Some will find subtlety left in strangers,
Some will find subtlety alone
And if you find everything like you’re looking for,
If you find anything let me in
My eyes I see, I see everything
My eyes, I see it’s together I know.
Some will find everything trapped in cages.
Some will find simple things inside their zoo.
And if you find everything like you’re looking for,
If you find anything let me go.
My eyes I see, I see everything.
My eyes I see and I feel it’s together I know.
Butterfly home, fly home, fly home, fly
And I’ll raise my head up,
And I’ll raise my arms up,
And I’ll flutter on, beautiful,
Flutter on, beautiful,
Flutter on, I’m beautiful.
And I’ll raise my wings up,
And I’ll shed this shell off,
And I’ll flutter on, beautiful,
Flutter on, I’m beautiful.
If what I know is real,
If what I know is all,
I’m dying, I’m dying
But I flutter on beautiful,
Flutter on beautiful.
I’m dying beautiful,
I’m dying beautiful.
Flutter on, I’m beautiful
Flutter on, I’m beautiful
And I see in my eyes,
And I feel in my skin,
And I walk in my world,
And I feel that I’m dying
