The merchant set a test
Pops the jewel from his chest
And woos the crowd
The merchant set a test
Takes the jewel from his chest
Parts with his crown
In an instant moment
You become the one
To bow down
In an instant moment
You were gone before
The wind blew

Soft Spots

Now you're going to see what I'm angry about
I miss the light in the mornings
The calm of the island you've somehow been living without
With time the pressure's been growing
The fear has been building
It's happening slowly
Get out of the car
Get out of the city
You're tired and dismayed
Yes I know it's a shame that
The light that caught you like moth to a flame
Is burning
Is burning
Is burning again
I've been giving in
I'm all out of soft spots to expose
Happy giving in
I'm all out of soft spots to expose
Hey man that does it I'm coming to see you tonight
You seem so tired and dejected
You're looking for answers to questions you've held your whole life
And now the problem is stirring
All life's parallels
They came up to the surface
Get out of the car
Get out of the city
You're tired and dismayed
Yes I know it's a shame that
The light that caught you like moth to a flame
Is burning
Is burning
Is burning again
I've been giving in
I'm all out of soft spots to expose
Happy giving in
I'm all out of soft spots to expose
I give in
I give in
I've been giving
I've been taken
Out of sight and past my limit
I will toughen up
Take in my hand
And give away
Everything I have
Been keeping in
I'm all out of soft spots to expose
Happy giving in
I'm all out of soft spots to expose
I give in
And now I give in

I waste all my time to commit to errands
I never try to see through
I can't take the time to commit to envy
Can't count the ways it came true
I wake in a bed doesn't seem familiar
Wait for the face in my view
I can't take the time to commit to anything
Say the word and we're through
No right answers
Prepared they fell through
No write up
I didn't stand a chance
I'm scared of the news
Tired by familiar ways
To distract from the gloom
I've nothing to write
Cos nothing in particular
Seems to conjure the mood
No right answers
Prepared they fell through
No write up
I've nothing left but time
So come on do your worst
I haven't left the house
Since the rain settled on the dirt
They pumped you full of chemicals
And left you in that room
Now your life is like a mayfly
Prepared to fall through
No right answers
No write up
No right answers
Prepared they fell through
No write up
I didn't stand a chance
I didn't stand a chance
I didn't stand a chance
No

No Sense To End

It would make no sense to end
Without making sense of the ending
And without the pause intense
It keeps the callers in suspension
I know you're only here
To get a pickup out of me
And I've lost all sense
Of what it means to be your friend
Your jacket's still here
And I miss you dearly
Everything you leave to me
Is left here unfinished
It would make no sense to end
Without making sense of the ending
And without the pause intense
It keeps the callers in suspension
I know I've done you wrong
I know I broke your
You you you
Wouldn't recognize me
I know I've done you wrong
I know I broke your heart
It would make no sense to end
Without making sense of the ending
And without the pause intense
It keeps the callers in suspense
Your jacket's still here
And I've been meaning to call you
But nothing I say will
Undo all the things you don't do
As if you wear me then leave me
I'm warm from your memory
The whispers we leave form a shout
And I've been meaning to lose you
But try as I may
I just end up confused
And I doubt
That you'd make good on your promise
Oh where was the friendship
I needed from you now

Tough Love

How many times have your tears stained my cheeks
How many ways can you admit defeat
I'll stand strong
I'll be tough for both of us
I'll stand strong
I'll be tough for both of us
I'll stand strong
I'll be tough for both of us
I stand strong
I'm beat up by your tough love
How many ways will you tell me I'm wrong
You say you're gonna change
You're never gonna change
Hope is for the birds
And our love's gone to the dogs
You say you're gonna change
You're never gonna change
I'll stand strong
I'll be tough for both of us
I'll stand strong
I'll be tough for both of us
I'll stand strong
I'll be tough for both of us
I stand strong
I'll be tough for both of us
You say you're gonna change
You're never gonna change
You say you're gonna change
You're never gonna change
You say you're gonna change
You're never gonna change
I'll stand strong
I'll be tough for both of us
I'll stand strong
I'll be tough for both of us
I'll stand strong
I'll be tough for both of us
I'll stand strong
I'll be tough for both of us
Say you're gonna change
You're never gonna change
I stand strong
Strong
Strong
I stand strong
Strong
Strong
Strong
Strong
Strong
Say you're gonna change
You're never gonna change
