Clarity, be my friend
Got to clear up the mess I have made
The heart and mind are in constant battle
Got to leave all the baggage behind

Watching the steps
Never faltering, never giving in
No one can mend a broken soul
Keeping a steady pace
Never licking the wounds
Hiding how fragile we are, how fragile we are

Counting miles as I run farther
The road can be unforgiving at times
But there's no stopping, there's no turning back
Even if you stand there waiting at that distant stop

Watching the steps
Never faltering, never giving in
No one can mend a broken soul
Keeping a steady pace
Never licking the wounds
Hiding how fragile we are, how fragile we are

And if you see me wandering off
Don't reach out your hand to save me
And if you see me cold in solitude
Don't hand me your coat

Watching the steps
Never faltering, never giving in
No one can mend a broken soul
Keeping a steady pace
Never licking the wounds
Hiding how fragile we are, how fragile we are

Fragile We Are

Shifting gears again
Chasing every second that's slowly
Slipping from our hands
Slowly slipping from our hands

The clock strikes, marking every memory
Couldn't anybody stay still
Blankly staring at the widening space
that separates, that separates

How far would we go
How long would it take 
When this endless road wears us out
Whenever we try to stay
How far would we go
How long would it take
Should we wait? Or just give up?

The indefinite, undefined process
Of us leaving and then coming back
Restless, vulnerable, so confused
In this intricate web we're spinning

How far would we go
How long would it take 
When this endless road wears us out
Whenever we try to stay
How far would we go
How long would it take
Should we wait? Or just give up?

How Far

Alone in the corner at a quiet coffee shop
Appeased my intoxicated veins with an earl grey cup
Images of weary nights clouded my head
On this tranquil afternoon and countless days prior

And then you walked in
You changed this lonely place
And yes, you walked in 
You are here
You are here

I searched the long stretch of this one-way street
Tossed and turned, beaten by time, lost my grip
The four walls enclosed my world for so long
Now you're across the room within my reach

And yes, you walked in
You changed this lonely place
And yes, you walked in 
You are here
You are here

Across The Room

Lost the compass again
Blamed all the signs
Steered aimlessly at the empty lot
In the dark

We fit like a glove
Or so they say
But our hands are used to the cold
We resist the heat

* Give up this drift

Faith is wasted
On a hopeless case
Constancy is never found
in inconsistencies

What makes us stay
When there's nothing left?
Played every game, punned every line
Fickle we'll always be

*Fickle we'll always be

Give up this drift
Fickle we'll always be
