Don’t act like your heart isn’t hard
And that the joker isn’t your card
Changing your tune as you put up your guard
And go whistling past a graveyard
You can change your mind
Like you’re changing your clothes
Through you dress in rags
And you turn up your nose
When it makes no sense
I will act like it does
And come to your defense
Though I have no weapons
So don’t act like your heart isn’t hard
And that the truth in your head isn’t dark
You can’t turn Tin Pan Alley into a boulevard
And go whistling past a graveyard
Don’t want the pretense of what love shouldn’t be
It will bore you to death before setting you free
To be just as good or bad as you are in the eye of a storm
We will both be sorry
You could hide your tears
Behind the façade of a thousand jokes
You thought I forgot
And then blame me for no longer laughing
Everyone’s cruel at times
When you’re not at your best
And you’re crossing the line
I’ll look past your mistakes
If you look past mine
And go stumbling past a gold mine

Sorry

I’ve been hanging around again
Hang my head on the ground again
Turn my face to the wall
Turn my head to the wall
Nobody knows you when you’re feeling sorry
Nobody needs you when you’re feeling sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
Used to be happy
Used to be laughing
Oh I’ve ben walking around again
Tongue-tied over the town again
Stranded out in the hall
Thrown right over the wall

How fast can a heart shatter
Before you’re walking on splinters
Your head aches
Just to feel what it knows
Please leave a light on when you go
How can you fix something
That you can’t touch without hurting
The lesson you’ve learned
Is leaving you dumb
Please leave a light on when it’s done
Standing high above the flood line
Watching all your belongings go by
How can you see the ending
When you’re lost at the beginning
The day hides
All that the night left behind
Please turn a light on when it dies

Just Noise

If you hear my heart breaking
And you don't know what it is
Don't be alarmed
It won't do you no harm
It's just noise
It's just noise
It's just noise
It's just noise
If you notice my hopes falling
As they scatter across the floor
Don't be concerned or startled
It's just noise
It's just noise
It's just noise
It's just noise
When I'm walking through the city
Looking for where my thoughts have run
Inside there's nothing working
No one knows what I've become
If you hear my wheels turning and you don't know where I've gone
Don't look outside
Don't bother with pride
It's just noise
It's just noise
It's just noise
It's just noise

The Wolf Is on the Hill

The wolf is on the hill
The bird is in the briar
The thorn is on the rose
And your time is on the wire
Those days of grave concern
Have turned them selves to silence
While the winter fires burn
What was left of kindness
So hide what you have learned
Show off what you’ve squandered
And give yourself a turn
See how far from home you’ve wandered
The wolf is on the hill
The bird is in the briar
The thorn is on the rose
And your time is on the wire
Take apart circumstance
And set it on a fault line
An avalanche of the past
Locked inside a goldmine
And when you cannot stand
On the legs god gave you
The road has turned to sand
That your will has sunken into
The wolf is on the hill
The baby’s in the briar
The worm is on the rose
And your word is on the wire
