Be Silent

Be silent (for) just one moment
Waiting, feel the latent
Yearning that is deep inside you all the time
Learning what it's like through other people's eyes
Feeling unforgettable but not acheiving
Dreaming all those dreams but always sleeping
Waking up to find you're starting out alone
But don't you fret, don't you cry
I will tell you the reason why
You must hold on to me now
Don't let go and don't look down
I've got you now....
Be thankful and mind this potent
Section of your life, it's
Tempting to skip the static
Fast-forwarding through life will often get you by
But missing out on memories can tear you up inside (leave your heart tied)
Feeling unforgettable but not acheiving
Dreaming all those dreams but always sleeping
Waking up to find you're starting out alone
But don't you fret, don't you cry
I will tell you the reason why
You must hold on to me now
Don't let go and don't look down
I've got you now....

Running Aground

Are you scared, dear, of running aground?
Does it worry you when I'm not around?
Life is so quiet for you but you know how I'm feeling
And what I'm feeling is true.
Woah, I'm free
Free of you
Oh, I'm free
I told the truth
Now you're gone, gone, gone; you're running away
And it's cold outside wherever you strayed
I can't keep you warm from here; my arms don't reach that far
Come down, come down, come down, come down, come down
Woah, I'm free
Free of you
Oh, I'm free
I told the truth

The fire's gone out; the embers are dim
You're quietly lying in my arms again
But are you the same as that fading flame?
I've trouble seeing behind your great wall of shame.
Where is the light?
Where is our perfect life?
When is the time that I'll have you?
Where is the light?
Navigating upstream; chasing a dream
traversing a memory so painful it seems
A fish breathing air, you don't seem to car
That the current against which you're swimming it never was there
Where is the light?
Where is our perfect life?
When is the time that I'll have you?
Where is the light?
Push away, pushing away
If you want me gone, just keep pushing away.

Feeling Fine
03:36

I wanted you to notice
I wanted you to see
I wanted you to know this
I wanted you to show me, show me
Will you make me listen?
Will you make me change my mind?
Will you pick me up and shake me
Until I'm feeling fine?
I want to do this slowly
Cause I want to make it real
And I want you to remember
The way this makes you feel, makes you feel
Will you make me listen?
Will you make me change my mind?
Will you pick me up and shake me
Until I'm feeling fine?
I know that I've been stupid
And I've said this all before
But I want you to believe me
When I say that this means more, so much more
Will you make me listen?
Will you make me change my mind?
Will you pick me up and shake me
Until I'm feeling fine?

drowning; crazy
03:40

Can't you see
Why I'm standing here
See where I'm coming from
Don't you know
That I'm needing you
And your honesty
Will you keep me real
Cause I've never been
That good at modesty
But things run cold
When we don't know.
So come and warm me up. Warm me up.
I was living in the shadows
You were giving me a sunrise
To which I closed the blinds
I was living in the shadows
You were giving me a sunrise, a sunrise.
Stop pretending
Just take off that mask
And come and sit down here with me
You don't need it
To impress me
I just need your company
Because I love you
Oh I love you
And I know that's hard to hear
Because I'm drowning
I am crazy
But I am still right here.
I was living in the shadows
You were giving me a sunrise
To which I closed the blinds
I was living in the shadows
You were giving me a sunrise, a sunrise.
I was living in the shadows
You were giving me a sunrise
And even though I closed my eyes that time
I'm ready.
I was living in the shadows
You were giving me a sunrise
To which I closed the blinds
I was living in the shadows
You were giving me a sunrise, a sunrise.

You're not allowed to push away this time
You've run aground and you are on the floor
We're overwhelmed it's time to compromise
Now you're screaming I don't want to hurt anymore
Go....just go, I can already hear it in your voice
Go....just go, you never really were left the choice
You're not allowed to push away this time
You've run aground; you are on the floor.
you're overwhelmed; it's time to compromise.
Now you're screaming "I don't wanna hurt anymore."
Go....just go, I can already hear it in your voice
Go....just go, you never really were left the choice
You're coming up with something new each day.
You've gone too far; now you're just too far gone.
You were right but there's no way I'm wrong.
Now I'm left with absolutely nothing new to say, but...
Go....just go, I can already hear it in your voice
Go....just go, you never really were left the choice
Now and then, I miss you.
I stop and stare at what others leave behind.
And now and then, I miss you.
You've gone as far to say you're going to leave this all behind
And so am I.
Go....just go, I can already hear it in your voice
Go....just go, you never really were left a choice.
Oh, go.

Able to See

She never thought it would end like this
Everything she'd ever had now was his
She'd worked so hard all her life
Now it's gone, gone, gone
They can't hear you cause they're not listening like me.
Can you see me or has it been too long since you've been able to see?
We always hoped you'd get your wish
Sitting on a bench at the lake, your hand in his
These memories are bittersweet
Cause they've since gone wrong
They can't hear you cause they're not listening like me.
Can you see me or has it been too long since you've been able to see?

Jeremiah

Jeremiah is no liar
He is devoted to the game
He As and Bs, Selects, and Starts
Like you've never seen
To you it's just a simple hobby
To us it's way of life
And you had better be okay
With that if you're his wife.
Jeremiah, he's the best
Gives the ladies what they need
Gives his friends his all time
Gives his money
The secret Hamburger Helper
recipe was lost.
We decided long ago
To bury it in moss
Man, mining picks will
find gold that is lost
But only under toilets
In Jeremiah's house!
He's magic
With a capital P
For Transformer
Jeremiah, he's the best
Gives the ladies what they need
Gives his friends his all time
Gives his money
And shares his Nintendo

Ruining the Bar Scene
02:45

I'm a liar; I admit
I've thrown out more than my fair share of bullshit
It may end up a shattered dream
But armed with all this honesty
I'm out to ruin the bar scene tonight.
Your broken heart was such a waste
Just like those times that I spent running in place
Now I'm not proud of the way I've been.
And i may make the same mistakes all over again
But I'm trying to ruin the bar scene tonight
The bar scene tonight
So save me, oh save me from listening to you
There's nothing left, there's nothing left, nothing left that's true
Was I just lonely and waiting for something to change
Cause you will never change
I'm still a liar and that's a fact
But if there's one thing about which I'm honest, it's that
And if I end up dying this way
Then you will know that on the way to my grave
I was out to ruin the bar scene tonight
The bar scene tonight

John Lampson Minneapolis, Minnesota
A lot of these bios are written in the third person, but it would seem pompous to do that here. Even still, none of us do this alone. I write songs mainly about love lost. I may write sad songs but I'm not a sad person. I am highly influenced by 90's alternative rock but embrace nearly any musical creation with a good melody and insightful lyrics and I seek to create that way as well. ... more
