"The One Who Flew" [sara]
You, so beautiful in your own way
I knew you'd make it someday
I watched from a distance
& saw you soar away
And when it all comes down
You'll be the one to fly
And I'll be the one to try ...
I tried to reach you
I wanted a taste of it all, too
But yet again, I watched you soar away
I told myself, that will be me someday
And when it all comes down
You'll be the one to fly
And I'll be the one to try
And when it all comes down
You'll be the one to fly
And I'll be the one cry.

"Static & Sin" [jess]
That I could be good in your eyes
But I did what I should in my eyes
That I could be here, minus this fear
But baby, steer clear of the road ahead
That I could be right just this once
But we've had this fight more than once
And I hope you heard this song and it hurt
'Cuz I don't have the guts to say it to your face
No, I don't have the guts to say it to your face
That I could be good ...
But I can't be good
No, I can't be good
*& we've only just begun this war
But I feel like I've been here before
'Cuz you live your life in static & sin
& I'll never give in
No, I'll never give in
That I could be sane without being crazy
That I'm not to blame, but that would be crazy
So I've got these tears
But you've got these years
To think about the wrongs that you've done
& I'll be long gone...

"We've Been Here" [sara]
so this is where i stop
trying to talk to you
i've said all i wanted to say
i can't try any harder
when harder is all i've tried
i'm standing in the middle of your eyes
when they all want you around
it doesn't even out
so i'll just sit low & sink down
& maybe you'll see me
when we've been here
5,000 years
so this is where it ends
never to begin
i've said all i wanted to say
& maybe you'll see me
when we've been here
5,000 years
& maybe you will see.
---------------
"Good Riddance" [jess]
& so i know this is where it ends
with nothing to show for it
& you might say, it never began
but i'm glad it's over
& the car grew still
with the silence we filled
& with eyes that could kill
we said goodnight
& i was the friend you said you needed
i was the only one who tried
& you are the one who said
what we did was a waste of time
so i am the one who'll move on first
& you are the one who'll stay behind
so you can go on & cry
while i say goodbye
goodbye
& so i'll say that i miss you
when i know i just feel bad
for the time that i wasted
building memories we never had
& your eyes grew still
with the darkness they filled
& the way they could kill
when we said goodnight

"Upstream" [sara]
Dream upstream
Of words I send to you
I don't wanna tell you
I only wish you knew
Dream upstream
Of your love gone wrong
I don't wanna tell you
I've known all along
*Dream upstream
Dream upstream
Of how it should be
I don't wanna tell you
I wanna set you free
Oh, whisper your sweet words
Tell me it's true
Dream upstream
Of words I send to you
I don't wanna tell you
I only wish you knew
*
Oh, whisper your sweet words
Tell me it's true
*
---------------
"Here All Along" [jess]
There's no one around to hear you scream my name
There's no one here who'd really care anyway
Maybe you'll come back
Scratching at my door
Maybe you'll come back for more
I envy the thoughts that keep you awake at night
I envy the dreams that pull you away from your life
I'll never be the one to try and change your mind
I'll never be the one to save your life
Don't throw away your life
And if blood pouring out your veins
Is your way of dealing with your pain
Well, then I won't be around
To watch you throw your life away
[Chorus:]
Maybe you're right
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'll find you've been here all along
Here in my heart
Here in my arms
I'd forgotten what love was
Till you came into my life
My life
And if you change my mind I'll stay ...
[Repeat Chorus x2]
---------------
"Untitled" [sara]
Silver stars you can hold in your hand
'Cuz that's what you deserve
Place your heart where it lands
{Chorus:}
What would they say if they saw you with me?
You don't wanna walk my path, boy
And maybe love is blind
But baby, I can see
You could be misleading a smile on me
Some fun while it lasted
In my own salty sea
{Repeat Chorus}
Now you can try to understand
And I can cry to unfocus this view
It's all too clear -
It's all too clear ...
{Repeat Chorus x2}
Maybe I can see...

"Anonymous #51" [jess]
First wind, second try
One more chance spiraling by, so
Follow her in down, down, down
Down, down
Don't even try to slip one by me
I've got eyes behind me
So take your best shot
'Cuz I'll be the one
To shoot you when you're down
*So things have changed around here now
No one left to run this town, so
Take your hell, & raise it someplace else
Winds change against your face
Ice breathes across this place
& all the while
I feel like everyone's running
But no one's moving
*So things have changed around here now
No one left to run this town, so
Take your hell, & raise it someplace
Take your hell, & raise it someplace
else ...
---------------
"Begin Again" [jess]
begin again, start over
begin again & blow me away ...
too far to touch
too simple to see
too selfish to see
that your mirror shows me
there's room for improvements
room for believing
now what you're seeing
this begins it all
*so begin again, start over
begin again
& blow me away
you begin again, you start over
then you win again
& you blow me away
so i've got this scar
proof that you've been here
- & i'm such a sucker
to believe that you've been here
but we won't talk
so you can't accuse me
you'll never use me
the way that you know best
*
& you blow me away ...
