When I searched alone Every find would go unfound Yeah I’d stare blankly at every clue But as a pair Yeah with company, we’ll cover wider ground So I’ll adventure along with you Please tell me what I’ve been searching for Please give me a reason not to go home and find out There’s no better company For searching high and low Oh Geocache Girl I’m at your latitude tonight We’ll call on the satellites Find treasure in the snow Oh Geocache Girl I’m at your longitude delighted That amongst all these bounties that are scattered around Yours was the one I found I’ll head out on my own To a spot concealed and sound I’ll hide a package just out of view Take a look by the willow tree With ivy all around Yeah there’s a prize waiting there for you Please tell me what I’ve been searching for Please give me a reason not to go home and find out There’s no better company For searching high and low Oh Geocache Girl I’m at your latitude tonight We’ll call on the satellites Find treasure in the snow Oh Geocache Girl I’m at your longitude delighted That amongst all these bounties that are scattered around Yours was the one I found You’ve got an eye for a familiar face But here I am still searching for someone with a likeness to you There’s no better company For searching high and low Oh Geocache Girl I’m at your latitude tonight We’ll call on the satellites Find treasure in the snow Oh Geocache Girl I’m at your longitude delighted That there’s no better company I know I’m at your latitude tonight You’ve got an eye for a familiar face But here I am still searching for someone with a likeness to you And amongst all these bounties that are scattered around Yours was the one I found

Light Sparks 02:12
I never felt myself and always Thought that I would always be alone I was a stranger among the people that I knew And I thought that I could never feel at home But I felt something change It always rains so hard on this town I get weighed down by the water But there’s something about these winter nights They used to feel so much colder... The ice on the ground reflects street lights Light sparks in a million or more eyes That glisten and glow And in the darkness they grow Like they know something I don’t

The water rises to the ceiling, seeping into every hole I get the feeling I have nowhere left to go This place was empty of one thing to tie me down But now I can’t fucking move away So for now I’ll just stay here and hold on to the hope That you are enough To keep me here, and help me stay afloat You know not to get too close for comfort ’Cause I know all the ways to be alone You know not to get too close for comfort At any given minute I could turn and walk away I said that I’d never get stuck here But I keep finding reasons to stay The water rises to the ceiling, seeping into every hole I get the feeling I have nowhere left to go All I can do is stay here, in the hope that I don’t drown So I just close my eyes and wait... For the cold to come and take me and never let go But the need to leave is the only thing that I know So I’ll just stay here for now. You know not to get too close for comfort ’Cause I know all the ways to be alone You know not to get too close for comfort At any given minute I could leave At any given minute I could leave forever There’s things that I’ve found that I can’t figure out There’s something holding on to me There’s nights that I spent staring at the ceiling... You gave me a reason to stay

There is something that I’ve needed to say… There is something that I’ve needed to say to you And I just can’t wait any longer, no You say you’ve nothing to believe in Well please just stop complaining I was so sick of routine Revisiting places I’ve been before Well today is a day like any other I thought "Is this is for me? "Still stuck at seventeen "Will I ever get back all the days in between?" You parked your mind in a feeling And never tried to get free Your head and heart stopped working But that won’t be me Make a change Try and see beyond all of your yesterdays ’Cause you’re tired of the feeling And time isn’t healing And you’ve only got yourself to blame There’s something that I’ve needed to say And I just can’t wait any longer, no You can fuck all of your friends But it’s yourself you should be blaming I was so sick of routine Revisiting places I’ve been before I really want to believe Tomorrow’s not just another day When I wake up and think it’s over And hide my head under the covers And open my eyes and let the light in for the first time And I’ll say... I won’t let go or let, or let myself fall behind I won’t listen to your words or let them prey on my mind Negative outcomes stem from negative thoughts And I will not let you break me down

TELL ME WHAT THE SECRET IS Silence grows... It ebbs and flows... And finds its way into my mouth (There’s a hush and it’s building slow Takes my voice in a grip And won’t let go) It’s all consuming... It will consume me... If I cannot keep it out (Won’t matter what I really know When I can’t let it slip Can’t shake this hold) My world it shakes beneath me And when I fall, I won’t fall lightly My words they shake through my teeth They don’t come easily... Silence grows... It ebbs and flows... And pretty soon it will overtake me (There’s a hush and it’s building slow Takes my voice in a grip And won’t let go) It’s all consuming... It will consume me... If I cannot keep it out (Won’t matter what I really know When I can’t let it slip Can’t shake this hold) And my world it shakes beneath me And when I fall I won’t fall lightly My words they shake through my teeth They don’t come easily... So will I speak the truth or keep my image safe and hold my tongue? The longer I wait, the chance, it slips away Will I speak the truth or keep my image safe and hold my tongue? I’ve always suppressed the words I need to say And I don’t know what the trouble is... I just keep holding on with my fingertips, never far from the outside. And all I know is I don’t belong... I just keep my eyes straight, keep my distance And don’t say a word I don’t know what the trouble is I just keep holding back No I don’t know what the trouble is I’ve just been holding my breath for days Will I speak the truth or keep my image safe and hold my tongue? The longer I wait, the chance, it slips away Will I speak the truth or keep my image safe and hold my tongue? I’ve always suppressed the words I need to say Will I speak the truth or keep my image safe and hold my tongue? The longer I wait, the more I slip away ... away further from you

I lie alone while the city’s sleeping Eyes wide open and a mind that feeds me All the reasons why I’m still awake And how tomorrow is just one more day Turn up the music and stare at the ceiling But nothing kills that sinking feeling That my best plan is just to keep drinking Because hope is just wishful thinking The wettest July since the 1950s I think the sky’s trying to tell me something I’m better off inside If I don’t see my friends, I won’t see my enemies With defeatism and negativity You fuckers sap all of my energy Learning to choose between fight or flight Sick of these walls so I won’t stay home tonight It’s time for a change and some honesty And while I wait, there’s just no chance I’ll ever sleep at night So I can’t wait until it’s over The way I’ve been living the past few years It won’t be a shame if I never see myself again The wettest July since the 1950s I think the sky’s trying to tell me something I’m better off inside I’ve already spent far too long waiting for my time So I won’t run and hide And while I wait, there’s just no chance I’ll ever sleep at night So I can’t wait until it’s over I lie alone while the city is sleeping Eyes wide open and a mind that feeds me All the reasons why I’m still awake And how tomorrow is just one more... Turn up the music, stare at the ceiling But nothing kills that sinking feeling That my best plan is just to keep drinking Because hope is just wishful thinking WOAH-OH
