How could you be so blinded? When I tell the truth, I really don't mind it and I'll bear with the pain just to cover the strain In this room alone, it just feels the same I know - But I can't show you Is the world so cold is it calling yer name? I don't need this heart to feel again How had you been misguided? Till it happens to you, you'll just stay quiet When I only think of myself I feel ashamed Alone, in this room it's all the same Is the world so cold is it calling yer name? I don't need this heart to feel again

Midnite Oil 02:52
It's overwhelming - that midnite oil Burns hard sweat so fast- Not far from death in toil You're turning around swivel up, turned upside down You're turning around Can you hardly see now You - kills you Midnite oil That midnite oil - starts a trance, flickering flame Burns bright on foreign soil - gonna go straight to yer brain They got you turning around Swivel up turn upside down They got you turning around Can you hardly see now You - kills you Midnite oil

Dark lines have surrounded your sunken eyes Truth has been spread from the wounds you bled Please let me tend to you with some cold advice: "It's all in your head" - well isn't that nice? But the tears don't fall the tears don't fall for you I heard you say... ".." Oh what the hell do I care what you said 'Cause you're all alone - 'cause you drink in bed Still the tears don't fall the tears don't fall for you; Not like I do When you find you try to be all by yourself Were you losing control were you rotting in your cell? It's getting closer now, so close to me See that the tears don't fall the tears don't fall for you; Not like I do

My Brothers 03:46
You both came to my house yesterday it all feels like a dream here with you two I wanted to say: It's really all just the same as it was Now we're picking up speed on the highway and we're throwing things at each other You pick out some song on the radio but all I really want to hear is the song that you wrote and forget the world Till we're sitting out underneath the stars tryna figure it out and who we are at the dam; Play "Sound and Color" I think I'll call you my brothers And here with you two it feels alright I know that you can make things right and here with you two it feels okay too 'cause you're my brothers - that's all my brothers

True Blue 03:08
The days have me on my knees Everyone's so quick for answers And all we get is a strip-tease This self-serving is cancer I'll tell the truth to you; You were always a headache and you're screwing things up but did you reach the top? And it was always too late when you'd pick up the phone Please leave me alone I've felt this way for a long time I guess I'll always be true blue Formalities are so fine that they don't mean a thing to you I've felt this way for a long time The days have me on my knees I guess I'll always be true blue but that doesn't mean a thing to you

I think it was yesterday - I thought I saw you Standing on the corner, I knew I was dreaming But still I came closer, still I came closer I wish I'd have known I was trapped in a house full of mirrors Lately everyone has been missing you Can't say I'm the only one who's still hanging on I think it was yesterday I thought I saw you standing on the corner I knew I was dreaming

Strange Days 04:24
Today's a shade of blue Oh it's such an awful world and the same sad news of it all is too much So I drop my head down to the floor and pray for something more At night when you're alone in your room Do you think of me at all? These strange days are pushing me to waltz myself into the street 'cause I need someone here for me 'cause these days are strange to me Mother please lay me down and father let me go 'Cause no-one cared to ask when I was thrown into this world No-one cared to ask if I could make it on my own and the absurd dictate death it's obscene but it's true These strange days are pushing me to waltz myself into the street and I need something to help me 'cause these days are strange to me

I don't mean a thing when I say what I said I don't mean a thing And I try to sing but it comes out wrong when I sing my songs And what's in my head before I go to bed Is this: "Don't you know you're gonna die? Someday it's true - it'll happen to me and you And don't you think your heart will sink or stop?" We're all fighting the clock just fighting the clock I don't mean a thing it's true I don't mean a thing.... That's all And don't you know; I don't know It's true I just don't know 'Cause all I think about It's all I think about Is all I think about It's all I think about Is fighting the clock Fighting the clock

Reaching out, my hand is out for you You've been feeling so tired - I've been tired too 'Cause hope is a dream but it chokes you till you bleed and leaves you to die it leaves you to die Once we return to the months where we burn logs till they're dust I'll be sorry; I'm sorry to the ones that I loved 'Cause hope was a dream And it choked me ruthlessly and left me to die It left me to die And no they don't love you not like I do not like I do 'Cause hope is a dream hope is a dream hope is a dream is a dream, is a dream, is a dream But not mine - no it's not mine
