Lyrics: 
They’ve got that life you could only dream of
But what’s been the price of escaping reality?
When they take your money and your time
You’ll deny it’s a crime
They’re at it again, acting like your best friend
You somehow only look for distraction
It’s terrifying how you’re so sure
Tell us all when you’ve found the cure

They’re in broad daylight, but no one gives them time of day
Do you know what really matters?
You flock to something shiny with no use every time
There are so many things you will never know

We turn a blind eye to those who made history
Those who’ve searched and made discovery
I see the future in their eyes
Tell us all when you’ve found the cure

They’re in broad daylight, but no one gives them time of day
Do you know what really matters?
You flock to something shiny with no use every time
There are many things you will never know

A rush for gold brought you in, broke you down
You’ve gambled away your attention
Sing it loud when you're more than shiny
Sing it loud when your brilliance shows

Something Shiny

Lyrics:
You’re a broken record
Skipping from phrase to phase
You’re a broken record
I can’t fix you

You dropped off the Earth’s face
Came from some other broken place
I promised I’d be better
After some crying and lying to myself
I realized, I can’t fix you

You’re a broken record
Skipping from phrase to phase
You’re a broken record
I can’t fix you

Maybe if I get some more thread and tape
Some glue and some paint
It may suffice
But, you’ve been shattered too many times

You’re a broken record
Skipping from phrase to phase
You’re a broken record
I can’t fix you

You had no patience
Saw me as your threat
I didn’t play the victim
I didn’t pity you

You’re a broken record
Skipping from phrase to phase
You’re a broken record
I can’t fix you.
You’re a broken record
Skipping from phrase to phase
You’re a broken record
I can’t fix you

Broken Record

Lyrics:
I don’t think you could see my shadow
It projects someone you wouldn’t wanna know 
Or maybe you’ve seen my alter ego 
You’d be blind and outshined by my blaze 
Just as I lure you in you break free again 
I’m a phase, and too little too late  

You can call me Plain Jane, nobody knows my real name 
Invisibility is a game I play  
If I could be something beautiful in your eyes 
Or end up as no one down the line 
Knowing you you’d be clueless what to do 
So, you’ll never know my name  

I wrote in my diary how you saw me 
I’d grin and write that I was lucky 
You’d run off 
My head tied in knots 
Tears would hit the paper 
Just as I lure you in you break free again I’m a phase, and too little too late  

You can call me Plain Jane, nobody knows my real name 
Invisibility is a game I play
If I could be something beautiful in your eyes
 Or end up as no one down the line 
Knowing you you’d be clueless what to do 
So, you’ll never know my name  

One was complementary but just being nice to me
Another lead me nowhere when I was his galaxy
They would usually see another something shiny
I’m sure there are other girls just like me  

You can call me Plain Jane, nobody knows my real name
Invisibility is a game I play
If I could be something beautiful in your eyes
Or end up as no one down the line
Knowing you you’d be clueless what to do 
So, you’ll never know my name
Call me Plain Jane, nobody knows my real name
Invisibility is a game I play
If I could be something beautiful in your eyes 
Or end up as no one down the line 
Knowing you you’d be clueless what to do
So, you’ll never know my name

Plain Jane

Lyrics:
Once, there was a place for me. 
It burned away, and there was reality
I was a myth
There were no sightings
I hid in the forest 
The aspens secluded me
I howled at the moon
No one came near me
They couldn’t hear me

You wouldn’t wanna see me or who I used to be
I’m back on my feet, so please don’t mislead me
When we meet again, I’ll be in one piece
And I’ll learn trust you, as you trust me

I’m pulling back my curtain of hair to reveal a new face
No more hiding. I can now leave more than a trace
Trust is a beautiful thing, but once in a while my mind still swings
Knowing you’re not alone has its beauty

You wouldn’t wanna see me and who I used to be
I'm back on my feet, so please don’t mislead me
When we meet again, I'll be in one piece
And I’ll learn trust you, as you trust me

I’ll admit that my compass broke, and so did I
Couldn’t see myself or anyone, and that made me lose my mind
How you took me in is a mystery to me
I can live with myself and let myself be

You wouldn’t wanna see me and who I used to be
I’m back on my feet, so please don’t mislead me
When we meet again, I'll be in one piece
And I’ll learn trust you, as you trust me

Trust Me

Lyrics:
Well, aren’t you a desperate man? 
It seems you only have one plan 
You’ve been on a run around
Aren’t you tired now?
You’re scared, alone, and on your own 
So, you’ll sacrifice your self-love 
You’ve got nothing or you’ve got everything to brag about 
Take her by the hand, take her for a spin, you have no idea what mess you're in
  
Your mind’s tangled up now It’s not as easy as it seems 
Yet, you rely on your unrealistic dreams 
You’ve forgotten yourself, so alone that you can’t think Yet you rely on one by drastic means 

Well, aren’t you a desperate girl?
Living desperately in your fantasy world 
You think your prince will just show up? 
You’re a damsel in distress 
You act helpless to him 
It pains me to see 
It’s plain to see that you don’t love you, and you’ll both collapse and sink 
Take him by the hand, take him for a spin, you have no Idea what mess you're in
  
Your mind’s tangled up now It’s not as easy as it seems 
Yet, you rely on your unrealistic dreams
You’ve forgotten yourself, so alone that you can’t think 
Yet, you rely on one by drastic means  
She wants her prince, he wants something to brag about
I find it hard to watch 
It’s all bothersome to me 
When you open the door to see yourself, I hope you’re pleased 
Your happiness alone is the only key  

Your mind’s tangled up now It’s not as easy as it seems 
Yet, you rely on your unrealistic dreams
You’ve forgotten yourself, so alone that you can’t think
Yet, you rely on one by drastic means 
Your mind’s tangled up now It’s not as easy as it seems 
Yet, you rely on your unrealistic dreams
 You’ve forgotten yourself, so alone that you can’t think
 Yet, you rely on one by drastic means
 I’ll take you by the hand, take you for a spin, I’m oh so glad there’s no mess we’re in

Tangled Up

Lyrics:
In Amber light
On a moonstone night 
My diamond, I saw in the hue
First I didn’t see much
I was out of touch 
But then I realized, it was you 

That night, beneath the spotlight of the moon
In opal’s glimmer, I stopped doubting you 
Unforgettable, irresistible, everything, I see you as you are 
Jade eyes, I cannot hide 
For a while I couldn’t decide 
It’s been a year
What did I fear? 
Some people aren’t how they appear

That night, beneath the spotlight of the moon
In opal’s glimmer, I stopped doubting you
That night, beneath the spotlight of the moon
In opal’s glimmer, I stopped doubting you

My diamond, you’re valued more than you know 
Not for display or show
We are aglow 
Aglow

Jewel

Lyrics:
Well, it snowed again
I sit alone without a friend
And I'd like to think it's all come to an end
No more restless dread
Voices in my head
There's no denying the fact that I felt iced in

I've grown tired lately, in search of sleep and serenity
If you need me, I'll be hiding, mindlessly free

I'll be here, as cold specks fall from the sky’s cotton trees
Sink somewhere softer than snow
The Earth spins, the skies fall, and yet I feel so still
The skies fall softly
It all falls softly

Through the lacy, snow trimmed window, at the corner of my eye
A chandelier of diamonds, a rare sight
I hear laughter, chatter, but ever so silently
In a world of white, silently

I've grown tired lately, in search of sleep and serenity
If you need me, I'll be hiding, mindlessly free

I'll be here, as cold specks fall from the skies cotton trees
Sink somewhere softer than snow
The Earth spins, the skies fall, and yet I feel so still
The skies fall softly
It all falls softly
The skies fall softly
It all falls softly

It All Falls Softly

Lyrics:
You’re an outcast, traveling vast searching for meaning, lost again it seems You’ve got a map, but a compass that only points left 
You’ll bow before your so-called monarchy under your cloak that speaks for nothing 
You’ve got a map, and you don’t know you should go west

You’re some beautiful array, and never one thing
Do you see yourself whole or in pieces? 
If it’s only your identity, don’t choose to be pulled by the strings 

The fountain of youth creates truth we don’t know
The one thing they say is the one thing they show 
They’ve got a map, but you know it’s torn right and left 
So you're lucky to have pulled the sword from the stone
You're one big meaning all on your own 
You’ve got a map, but it's a long road that leads home

You’re some beautiful array, and never one thing 
Do you see yourself whole or in pieces?
If it’s only your identity, don’t choose to be pulled by the strings 

Who do you really have to please?
Won’t say it, don’t know it, they’re just unworthy
Through the blacked woods, what do you see? 
Will you ride on through?  
Possibly

You’re some beautiful array, and never one thing 
Do you see yourself whole or in pieces?
 If it’s only your identity, don’t choose to be pulled by the strings
You’re some beautiful array, and never one thing 
Do you see yourself whole or in pieces?
If it’s only your identity, don’t choose to be pulled by the strings

Compass

Lyrics:
Strolling clean streets, taking in your view 
Rainy hair, city-lit eyes, I realize, you're my home 
Strolling clean streets, taking in your view 
Rainy hair, city-lit eyes, I realize, you're my home 

 Nice to see you, I heard you call my name 
You look the same as the last time I saw your face 
Take me everywhere and anywhere 
Take me anywhere and everywhere
  
Strolling clean streets, taking in your view 
Rainy hair, city-lit eyes, I realize, you're my home 
Strolling clean streets, taking in your view 
Rainy hair, city-lit eyes, I realize, you're my home  

Coffee in hand, sidewalks or sand 
As rainy beads string down, I won’t drown 
Marinas, dahlias, that classic city life 
Under a sea star sky, and ocean sways for you and I 

Strolling clean streets, taking in your view
Rainy hair, city-lit eyes, I realize, you're my home 
Strolling clean streets, taking in your view
Rainy hair, city-lit eyes, I realize, you're my home 

An ocean’s whisper told me, this is home 
And I’m almost always alone
I love the way you stroke my hair
And you're so far and always there 
Take me where I’ll smell the salty air
Sweep me away 
Ocean waves sweep me away
Ocean waves sweep me away

Seattle

Lyrics:
I know this isn’t my business, but believe me when I say  It couldn’t ever have been you  
Cast out to the riptide, astray in her waves  
It was an unpredictable truth  
Never thought I’d say it, never thought I’d face it  
But in this world you gotta choose to sink or swim 
I was silenced by my intuition, but I hope this message gets to you  

Well I saw it submerge, under and over 
And it hit a floor too deep to see  
But when I dive to depths, I see debris, and no reason 
You escaped the sunken ship after blaming yourself 
Blaming yourself  
You’ll find one pure as a pearl, in some other world  
But the catastrophe still fragments my mind  

I’ll never understand, what girl wouldn’t want a sensitive man who would do all he can?  
I suppose she needed a little thrill   
That some sweetheart like you couldn’t provide  
Call me unloyal, call me unsupportive  
But honestly, how could I ever approve?  
Who knew innocence was deadly?  
Who knew she didn’t aim for best in show?  
But I guess you learn when you burn  

Well I saw it submerge, under and over  
And it hit a floor too deep to see  
But when I dive to depths, I see debris, and no reason  
You escaped the sunken ship after blaming yourself, blaming yourself  
You’ll find one pure as a pearl, in some other world  
But the catastrophe still fragments my mind  

It was a one sided one way to obscurity 
He was hers but she was through
He sunk deeper than the surface, but the density fell on her instead  
I gotta slap some sense into both of you, the two of you 
It was an unpredictable truth  

Well I saw it submerge, under and over  
And it hit a floor too deep to see 
But when I dive to depths, I see debris, and no reason  
Oh, you, you! You escaped the sunken ship after blaming yourself, blaming yourself  
You’ll find one pure as a pearl, in some other world
But the catastrophe still fragments my mind
It was an unpredictable truth
It was an unpredictable truth
