Indigo (free) 03:38
A thousand years ago it tore my heart When I closed my eyes And you were never far I’ll never tell you that you Hold me in your hands No, you’ll never know Cause you could never understand Yeah, indigo Yeah, indigo Oh, darling you’ll never know I love you so Yeah, indigo Well, every now and then I say a prayer Even though I know that I cannot compare I’ll have to face it now, I know that it’s too late And I’ll never hear the words I desperately want to hear you say Yeah, indigo Yeah, indigo Oh, darling you’ll never know I love you so Yeah, indigo Oh, I feel like I’m contaminated Holding him but loving you You know it’s hanging over me And glaring like an old tattoo I tell myself that you were
Never something good for me But it doesn’t stop the screaming for you That goes on inside of me Yeah, indigo Yeah, indigo Oh, darling you’ll never know I love you so Yeah, indigo

Cruel and Unusual (free) 03:13
I’ve been sitting and thinking and watching and hoping But now I’ve really had enough You’ve been sinking into concrete quicksand How could you still be oblivious? Hold out your hands and close your eyes I’d like to give you something Will you guard it with your life? No no no no, this is not a game We treat the Earth like one another This is such a shame With no apology we’ve been Breaking nature’s rules It’s a vicious cycle, this is cruel and unusual I noticed that your front yard Looks really, really nice How many chemicals did you have to use To make your little paradise? This is really quite an impressive legacy That you’re leaving behind Can you look into a child’s eyes And say it’s gonna be all right And will you say Hold out your hands and close your eyes I’d like to give you something Will you guard it with your life? No no no no, this is not a game We treat the Earth like one another This is such a shame With no apology we’ve been Breaking nature’s rules It’s a vicious cycle, this is cruel and unusual I don’t want to settle for apathy I don’t want to wait around for calamity I don’t want to be a part of the insanity I’m gonna stand up, stand up for humanity Chorus Hold out your hands and close your eyes I’d like to give you something Will you guard it with your life?

Chelsea (free) 04:23
If you love me for my strengths You have to accept my weaknesses too And closing your eyes won’t do you any good If you choose me for the good in my heart You get the sinner in me too And I wouldn’t change it even if I could If I could break out of my skin I would in a minute and then I’d lie in your arms till the sun came up And you could chalk it up to another lost love I want to watch the world spin round If I could ever get off of the ground I could see everything from a different view And I wouldn’t come down till I felt brand new If you love me for my strengths You have to accept my weaknesses too And closing your eyes won’t do you any good If you choose me for the good in my heart You get the sinner in me too And I wouldn’t change it even if I could You say you want to get inside my mind But you’re afraid of what you’ll find Well my intentions are good and my heart is pure And my soul is clean, though you’re never sure The love runs in my veins Like a sweet soft summer rain And I want you to know that when you are near The rhythm is true, everything is clear If you love me for my strengths You have to accept my weaknesses too And closing your eyes won’t do you any good If you choose me for the good in my heart You get the sinner in me too And I wouldn’t change it even if I could Oh, oh, oh It’s never goodbye Yeah I guess I’ll see you in my dreams

So Long (free) 03:39
I’ll take a train Down those rusty railroad tracks I’ll take a train Lord knows I ain’t ever coming back It’s been so long since My baby’s been gone I won’t play the fool Baby that ain’t me anymore, anymore I won’t play the fool This time I’m leaving for sure It’s been so long since My baby’s been gone Oh, oh, oh I’m packing a bag And leaving the rest behind I’m packing a bag I’ve got Chicago on my mind It’s been so long since My baby’s been gone Oh, oh, oh Don’t even know what I’m waiting for anymore It’s getting cold and I’m closing the door I know that he’s gonna find if he comes back now That he’ll be sitting alone in a quiet house Oh, oh, oh Oh, it’s been so long

Crowded (free) 03:57
Crowded I’m standing Standing all alone in a crowded room I’m standing Standing all alone in a crowded room Start walking through the smoke And I’m looking around Everyone’s living with a blind eye I feel like a poor man holding a suicide note They look away in reply I’m standing Standing all alone in a crowded room Alone in a crowded room What’ve I got to do Alone in a crowded room I’m screaming but I know the air is thick in here It’s thick with battle plans I feel like a hungry child crying in another language They say that they don’t understand I’m standing Standing all alone in a crowded room Alone in a crowded room What’ve I got to do Alone in a crowded room I listen carefully for a warning bell But you could hear a pin drop in this place I feel like a sad sad story no one wants to tell Even if I’m looking in their face I’m standing Standing all alone in a crowded room Alone in a crowded room What’ve I got to do Alone in a crowded room Alone in a crowded room Open your eyes Open your eyes Open your eyes Open your eyes
