Bliss: 1996

2. One More Hour

While your hands are dug deep
into your pockets,
empty you paint your nails so you can't see
what's underneath

and I was the one so certain
now certainty it sleeps

And while your footsteps mark the snow
the path it takes you
where you don't wanna go
And you havent laid one heel to toe on your own

And that makes for a long one
And it makes for a rough road
and it's makes for a break down
half the way home

So here come my hands
waving and scattered
like the first day I believed that
everything mattered

and wisdom looks like pain
dancing into your arms again

And I am certain
we are paying with our lives
everydaying the hurting, the hurting
and I was the one so certain
now certainty it sleeps
In me, in me

And I'll be and you are
and I want what you've got
and one day we'll wash away
one more hour off everyday,
one more hour off everyday.

3. Awake

This song is dead.,
It lies in bed, while little girls' dreams bow their heads.,
It told a lie or two. It meant to be the truth,,
but oh the pictures seemed so real, ,
and all the reasons seemed so clear, so clear.

Following a dream, I feel the seam,,
on a backdrop I thought was perfect.,
I know you're right, I won't put up a fight,,
but oh the pictures seemed so real and all the,
reasons seemed so clear. So clear when I'm dreaming of treason,,
we fear the reasons and follow them back to, the bedside of the truth, and run free.

9. Here's Another Reason

I tried, I cant see through it
you said you'd only take my time
now time is playing tricks on me

i tried to pull myself out
sift through the stones
thought i could do without
but you find a couple you can use,everyday

you look like the start of this to me
the fact of hope is drooling
we'll keep it pure and simple
to change the tide
you can walk outside the games

i know you can i know,
i know you can i know

here's another reason
to hold yourself down
here's another heartbeat,
it dont make a sound until
you're screaming "dont go"

when did you stop wishing
for yourself and for the young when did you start thinking
"what have i done with my life"

i'm just treading the waters of fear
i thought we'd find some land around here

i know you can i know,
i know you can i know

there's a dense fog
it's hanging down from the sky it covers the bare shoulders
of my hopes for you
i find that pure and simple
is enough to believe in seeing

i know you can i know,
i know you can i know
