Knock On The Sky (hidden track)
. . .


(Kristyn Osborn/Holly Poole)

The sun kisses the windowsill and I am still
On my second cup of pity me
It's been a long night chasing ghosts but at the most
It's been a rude awakening
That all too late I finally see

That it's
Chorus:
My loss, my lonely
My mistake, mine only
Mine all, mine all mine
And it's my bad, my broken
All my should have's left unspoken
Mine all, mine all mine

I drove you to the edge of the map and after that
I pushed you off just to watch you fall
You never were the bounce back kind
But boy this time you've proven me wrong after all
Now I'm the one who's gonna crawl

'Cause it's
repeat chorus

Always thought I'd get to sorry
But the chance has come and gone
So if it finds it's way back in
I'll hold on hold on hold on

My loss, my lonely
My mistake, mine only
Mine all, mine all, mine all mine


. . .


(Kristyn Osborn / Connie Harrington)

Do you know I'm thinking you
Can you feel me drinking you
Is any of this sinking through
Neatly so completely bent
By this brilliant accident
I couldn't seem to circumvent
Your dizzy exhilaration
Clouding my concentration

CHORUS I'm lit, don't you get it yet
See this circus in my head
I'm tangled in the net
Baby this is it
I'm lit, nothin' left to do but another shot of you
I can't stop this spinning room
Baby this is it, I'm lit

It's getting hard to breathe in here
Maybe I should disappear
Find another atmosphere
Or maybe I should just come clean
Take it to a new extreme
Fashionably make a scene
But there is no need to panic
I'm just a harmless romantic

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE Someone get the dog and hitch the truck and drag me from this table
Before they come and lock me up declaring me unstable


. . .


(Kristyn Osborn / Melanie Doane / Rick Neigher)

If you could hear these four walls talkin'
If you could hear my heart just walkin'
'Round and 'round this dollhouse trying
To make it real

If you could see this sunrise setting
The disconnection I'm regretting
Now and then was then but now is
How I feel
My handwritten fears and drops of rage
(Trying to dry these drops of rage)
Require a steady hand to turn the page

CHORUS It was easy falling in love
It was beautiful on the way up
But I need a man going down
I need a man going down
You were a dreamer you were a kid
And flying too high is what we did
Now I need a man going down
Can you be my man going down down down

Where's the shiver where's the shameless craving
We used to have but now I'm waiting
Here for you to come to me
And show me know me

Hovering above this quaking ground
(Don't wanna break this quaking ground)
I found the purest words that I've ever found
(Believe me, believe me)

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE Tell me that you'll love me still
Tell me when I won't you will
Be a gentle covering when the rain turns to rust
Tell me you'll be twice as strong when I feel I don't belong

. . .


(Kristyn Osborn/Marcus Hummon)

You say you're gunshy
I say you're spineless
You think you're pensive
I, I think you're mindless
Such a busy little drone
That your heart beats in monotone
So loud you can't hear me
Repetion's what you need

Chorus:
Get out of my air
Get off of my cloud
Get out of my hair
Get off of my couch
Get off of my lips
Get out of my life
Let me give you a tip
Get out of my sight
Get off of your knees
Get out of my face
Get out of my sleep
Get out of my space
How long do I have to show and tell, scream and yell
Get over yourself

You say you're complicated
I say too dramatic
You think I underrate you
I think I've finally had it
With you never had a time
Cause half the time you spend designing brilliant tragedies
And it's becoming your disease

(Repeat Chorus)

Won't let you unnerve me
Won't let you deserve me
And even if I kiss the dirt you're going to see me how I don't hurt
I don't hurt

(Repeat Chorus 2x)


. . .


(Kristyn Osborn, Marcus Hummon)

To be the first in someone's life
To set the sun and raise the moon
In someone else's eyes
To see heaven Just for a day
To hold a moment in your arms
And never let it slip away
To leap off a mountaintop

Chorus:
And feel the rush of love
To taste that holy kiss
I could never get enough of this
This rush
This rush

To touch the earth before you fall
To know that here and now with you
Remains forever after all
To hear the beauty in dissonance
To finally know that all our questions
Make perfect sense
To touch the surface and breathe the air

Repeat chorus

Tag:
To be the first in someone's life
To set the sun in someone's eyes
To hold forever for a day

. . .


(Kristyn Osborn)

You said, I bled
You meant, I went
Overcomplicated
Spent
Love's a series of broken sentences
Miscalculations reconciliations
Seductive highs
Destructive lows
Words that fly too fast
Feet that move too slow
Wish I could dance outside this windowpane
Oh I wish I were the rain

Chorus:
'Cause it can fall as hard as it wants to
Gingerly drip down a lover's face
Cry for hours and weeks on end and never
Feel a bit out of place
It can feed a field
Put out a fire
And never feel the pain
Oh I wish I were the rain
I wish I were the rain
I wish I were the rain
I wish I were the rain

Don't speak, I'm weak
You cry, I lie
Overcompensation
Why?
Our arsenal of hope has been bled dry
Don't you wish that you could live outside the insane
Don't you ever wish for a free reign

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
The blistering, twisted
Hard fisted blows
Have drowned the once fervent glow


. . .


(Kristyn Osborn, Marcus Hummon)

I've been walkin' through the fields for hours
Blind to the wild of the wildflowers
Hovering above my own life
Like an apparition
I've been livin' on bread and water
Somebody's wife, mother, somebody's daughter
Even in the face in the mirror
No recognition
I feel my soul slipping out of my skin
Come clean in a pool of fire Jump in

Chorus:
'Cause everybody needs a revival
Get up off your knees and dance
It's fundamental to our survival
Get hell bent on shakin' that big white tent
And repent!

All you need is the nagging hunger
Baby the bush is burnin' I ain't getting' any younger
Belly up and believe, whatcha waitin' for
A revelation
All it takes is a taste of the spirit
Like an addict gotta have it every time I get near it
Straight to the heart of the matter
No hesitation
(No other high like liberation)

I feel my soul slipping out of my skin
Come clean in a pool of fire Jump in

Repeat chorus

Instrumental

Repeat chorus

Tag:
Have I really lost my soul
If so I don't know where it went
And if there's no other way back home

. . .


(Kristyn Osborn, Connie Harrington)

Paper face sterilized
Ravenous enough to swallow the lies
What on earth did we do
Before this town invented you
With life exaggerated
You must be so elated

Chorus:
So how does it feel now that everybody wants you
Everybody wants you
You're so ideal now that
Everybody wants you
But will you even cry cry cry
Falling from that high high high
Everybody wants you

Through the looking gloss lookin' smooth
Flash a smile that climatizes the room
But all the hype and hot air
Can't cover up what's under there
You're stylishly contagious
Until they flip the pages

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
What (what) will you do (do)
When they don't (don't) want you (you)
And how (how) will you feel (feel)
When you have to get real

Is this picture all too vivid
'Cause you look a little livid


. . .


(Kristyn Osborn, Trey Bruce)

If I could be thirteen again
To live with no regret
When I could still be president
And I could feel my dad
As he's holding me in his arms
Not in my dreams
I could not wait to be
Something at twenty-three

Chorus:
(But) Now I've/we've got the sun
To clear away the clouds
So why look back
When there's a stunning, blazing, so amazing
Now

From here love looks so effortless
The simple used to do
Grass never feels as green, I guess
Underneath our shoes
Let's you and me and CNN
Flip the switch, go back again
I wonder who we'd see
Reflecting from our TV

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
The reconstructing you can do
With scissors and a little glue
And leave what's left to decorate the ground
Rediscovering your bliss
Is the sweetest part of this
Is all we need right now

(Repeat Chorus 3x)

Right now, right now
Right now, right now
Yeah, yeah


. . .


(Kristyn Osborn, Richard Marx)

Look at me I can't sleep
Alone with these secrets I keep
The walls are breathing and I
Consider the casualties
If the man that you have to be
Changes his
Mind over heart over head over heels
I can feel good-bye but I'll
Always be

Chorus:
All over you
I'll burn upon your body with
A fire that's mocking the sun
All over you
The love that lingers on your lips
Will be my final testament
That what's been done I can't undo
I'll always be all over you

I pour a glass of pure honesty
Leaves me dizzy enough to see
It's raining outside my
Window the light balloon
Isn't rising a moment too soon
Breaking things
I didn't know were so brittle they'd break
Was it my mistake
To light the match and blow the ash

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
I could deny the seasons
Even with the last leaf that falls
If it Justified the reasons
I'm not yours at all
So I'll go on lamenting silently
If that's the way it has to be
But you'll always touch and taste and see me
(All over you all over you)


. . .


(Kristyn Osborn)

In my meager defense I have tried to make sense
Of the chaos that clutters my mind
You could nail to my soul every reason to go
But the reason to stay I would find
'Cause there's no resolution or clear cut conclusion
As I'm caught between the ebb and flow
But for you I'll discover the will to recover
For you I'll be first to let go

I'm not his I'm not yours I'm not mine anymore
Somehow the silver lining was torn
And we won't get too far with the door Just ajar
Only whispers keeping us warm
'Cause there's no resolution or clear cut conclusion
As I'm caught between the ebb and flow
But for you I'll discover the will to recover
For you I'll be first to let go

Bridge:
I'll send you a lullaby
Across the burnt orange sky
So looking to heaven you'll know
For you I let go

When I see on your face one day I've been replaced
I'll smile as I watch you fly
And say one grateful prayer for the angel who's there
And cry for the one left behind
'Cause there's no resolution or clear cut conclusion
As I'm caught between the ebb and flow
But for you I discovered the will to recover
For you I was first to let go

. . .


(Kristyn Osborn, Jason Deere)

Well I can be magic or tragically tragic
And I can be everything between us
Some days I'm frightful or awfully delightful
The consummate extremist
But you say, grinning
You're ok with all of the trimmings
But you're blundering, you're skating
And I'm wondering why are you waiting

Chorus:
Turn me on, turn it up
Turn this fable into fact
Turn my world on its ear
Then go and turn it back
Turn the fall into flight
Turn this bubble to a burn
Cause baby it's your turn
Turn me on turn me on

Trust me you own it I've always known it
You've must've memorized my manual
So why are you scared of this villainous word love
Maybe it's too true to handle
Your willing addiction
And feeling a tiny confliction
It's scrawled on your face
Here we've stalled so pick up the pace

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
(Turn me on)
You gotta give it up cause it's gonna gonna save me
(Turn me on)
You're charming when you're starving
Don't you ever ever crave me
(Turn me on)
Gimme gimme gimme gimme something to hold on to

. . .


(Kristyn Osborn)

This can't really be what life is all about
Learning how to live just to live without
The travesty's the irony and the irony is you
I've traded in my sanctity for a cheaper shade of blue

And as I surrender to this sunken bed
So afflicted by the tenant in my head
Even now, I wonder how you lay her down to sleep
When secretly, I know it's my soul that you pray to keep
But will you really keep me

First Chorus:
(Keep me)
On your porch, or on your tongue
(Keep me)
Beating in your chest, or coming undone
(Keep me)
Folded neatly in the cover of your favorite book
(Keep me)
At a distance, in your maze
Fumbling through a contemplative haze
Or tucked away clandestinely, where no one else will look
Where my broken sky reaches to your velvet sea
Will you keep me, will you keep me

Drowning in the bottom of this empty glass
I pray God is good and that this too shall pass
Then from the abyss, maybe I'll find a sweet reprieve
When the echo of your kiss reminds me to believe
That you'll always keep me

Second Chorus:
(Keep me)
Under God or on your wall
(Keep me)
Behind closed doors, forever after all
(Keep me)
Or headed south on the blacktop ribbon we designed
(Keep me)
The mantle of integrity
(Keep me)
Investing in something I'll never see
(Keep me)
At thirty-thousand feet or in the windows of your mind
In a corner of your heart, under lock and key
Will you keep me, will you keep me

Bridge:
Traipsing on hallowed ground
Has brought a lifelong sentence
Now, living without your breath to fill my lungs
Will be my penance
And even as I feel
I hope you feel it just as deeply
And even though you've let me go
Say you'll always keep me
Say you'll always keep me

The melody you misconstrue
On the ocean crashing into you
Or waiting for the man you'll never have the heart to be
In the fervent strains of the tragic elegy

Will you keep me
Will you keep me
Oh, oh, will you keep me
Will you keep me


. . .


(Kristyn Osborn/Connie Harrington)

What's up with the current innuendo
Buzz around into a fevery crescendo
You'll never
You can't
Why does everybody fear
What they don't understand

Stand up and listen to the sister, mister
Been around here long enough
We're strong enough
We're gonna sing the song enough
To shake this institution
It's a SHE-volution

Can't (can't) just flyby
Gotta knock, knock on the sky
We can't (can't) just flyby
Gotta knock, knock on the sky

Who cares about the popular affliction
The dull-headed, brain-dead corny contradiction
Well you know we're gonna say
Just what we're gonna say

Hey now before you do or die us
Try us
So what if we wear parachutes or jacket boots
At least we're fully resolute
To use imagination
To try and move a generation

Can't (can't) just flyby
Gotta knock, knock on the sky
We can't (can't) just flyby
Gotta knock, knock on the sky

Sane or eratic
Mundane or dramatic
Just do what you do what you do me and you
To thine ownself be true

Can't (can't) just flyby
Gotta knock, knock on the sky
We can't (can't) just flyby
