Wear A Smile 03:14
Is there a chance to find an ounce of joy? Then I will wear a smile, forget the noise I am no stranger than your counterpart Don't try to fool my mind to doubt my heart
2.
Crawl inside and find me Prise the claws that bind me Far from done I was once awake to Never dreamed of haunted views Far from done Why do I breathe? Why do I see floating birds caught in the rain? Slowly fall down one at a time Hide away your pleasure Leash me to your tether Far from done Why do I breathe? Why do I see floating birds caught in the rain? Slowly fall down one at a time
3.
Circus 03:42
Come to watch the show? File in row by row No seats close enough Eyes are filled with dust From this circus From this circus Did you see him hang? From the ropes he sang Want your money back? What did you expect? From this circus From this circus

Tired Eyes 03:58
Turn around and you'll find I can't see you Sealed beneath your disguise I can't see you Where did she escape? The child inside you Imprisoned by hate Of yourself I saw tired eyes, tired eyes in you I fought tired eyes, tired eyes in you Step a little closer and smile I can see you Somewhere beneath your disguise I can see you You saw tired eyes, tired eyes in me You fought tired eyes, tired eyes in me Turn around and you'll find I can't see you Sealed beneath your disguise I can't see you

Mother Said 04:14
Mother said never play with toys Unaware, wanting something more Tell me when it started Every word is a careless song Mother said I would never learn I was young, but I cared too much Tell me where we parted Every laugh is a blurred existence Tempt me with yours, your beauty your charm You know I want, know I want I'll share my doubt for one ounce of how to Love someone, love someone
