Simple Lessons Lyrics - Candlebox

Sounds to be where, you want to scream
Always left without, saying hello
I've seen chains that bear less, snap and fall long before you let go
Times run over you sink onto my floor,
It's ok, we've cleaned them many times before
Simple lessons are, simple lessons are, simple lessons are,
Simple lessons are, simple...
Sounds might be where, yeah I want to cry
Always left before, I said hello
He's had days where shades of brilliance, never granted him space
Green shades of painful rains, it's ok, they'll wash away now
Simple lessons are, simple lessons are, simple lessons are,
Simple lessons are, simple...
Always taught you how, drain yourself empty
Always taught you how, drain yourself empty
We're all scarred up from ages of childish games
Yet I've never seen your head up higher
It feels real this time, I see you happy again
Reel in it for a while, oh enough to take my place
Sounds to be where, you want to scream
Always left without, saying hello
I've seen chains that bear less, snap and fall long before you,
Long before you let go

Drowned Lyrics - Candlebox

Turn me into, another corner
You see I'm sideways, I'm unopened
I let it before I lose myself, I'm empty and inspired alone
And I swear, I can say to you
And I swear, I can say to you
So I write it down, and slip away from faith
Frustrated and anxious to grow
Addressed in clothes that never fit my mind,
Letters said but never closed last time,
And I can say to you
And I swear, I can say to you
You tell me...
When did we start to drown,
You see I'll hold you there
When did we start to drown,
Can't you see it's time we made it home
When did we start to drown?
When did we start to...
So I see you turn it into your lines my way
You see I'm angry, and I'll set you straight
Let it before I lose control,
You find out, and I'll fight it alone
And I swear, I can say to you
And I swear, I can say to you
Somebody tell me,
When did we start to drown,
You think I'll hold you there
When did we start to drown,
Can you see it's time we made it home
When did we start to drown?
Always on my mind, time for your temper
Always on my mind, sent to my mind I know
Always on my mind, I'll hold your thoughts I swear, always...
So you turn to me, so you turn it...
Turn me into another corner,
And you put me in this, this other corner
Turn it into another corner
You'll tell me...
When did we start drown,
You see I'll hold you there
When did we start to drown,
Can't you see it's time we made it home
When did we start to,
Drown??

Lucy Lyrics - Candlebox

Another lie for us to live in
Pages pick it up anytime she likes
Another life for her to put down, pick it up, pick it up
Anytime she might find enough to get her high
And I'll get her high
Turn it off I found her weakness
Boxes filled with memories shavings
Lead into something better,
I heard it yesterday
Old news my friend,
She's broken hearted...
I know, she'd seen it all along,
She's better off lately
They said it's all she's after,
Every time, every time
Can she free it,
Has it all been wasted
Can we see here one last time?
Another lie for her to live in
Breakdowns, pull her out and knock us down every time
Another time for her to find out
She'll let it go blue,
And then she'll fall down. Gently,
Until she's broken hearted...
I know, she'd seen it all along,
She's better of lately
They said it's all she's after
Every time, every time
Can she free it,
Has it all been wasted
Can she free it on last time?
Can she free it?
So when she lays her head down,
Do you read all the thoughts that she reads aloud,
She can, she can see through
And when she says he's found out,
All the thing that she though we would read about,
She can, she can see through
And when she says she's played out,
All the dreams that she thought she could dream about,
Do you feel, do you feel, do you feel,
Do you feel the need to break free?
Is it all she's made of...

Best Friend Lyrics - Candlebox

Quiet down now, hush hush my friend
Quiet down now, hush hush my friend
When all the others left, when all the others left
When all the others left, when all the others...
I know you'd stick around, come here now
I know you'd stick around, come here now
When all the others talked, when all the others talked
When all the others talked, when all the others...
You'd always been my habit now
Colored bees, and stomach aches,
Your friend's in need, and lovers quakes
My best friend, my, my very best friend,
My best friend, my, she never left my side
So come here now sit. Quiet down. Come here now sit
Quiet down now, quiet down friend...
When all the others left, when all the others left
When all the others left, when all the others...
I knew you'd stick around, come here now
When all the others talked, when all the others talked,
When all the others talked, when all the others...
You'd always been my habit now
Colored bees, and stomach aches,
Your friend's in need, and lovers quakes
My best friend, my, my very best friend,
My best friend, my, she never left my side
So come here now sit. Quiet down. Come here now sit.
So lie down now, quiet down friend
Lie down now, lie down now sit
My side so lie down and fight to find,
My side so lie down and fight for my,
My side so lie down, be good for my,
My side so lie down, be good for my,
Quiet down now, hush hush my friend
Cone here now, come here now sit
When all the others left, I knew you'd stick around
When all the others talked, I knew you'd stick around
Lie down now, lie down my friend
Lie down now, hush hush my friend
My best friend, my, my very best friend
My best friend, my, my very best friend

Become (To Tell) Lyrics - Candlebox

I'll get so close to you, I'll let you down my friend
You see it in this face, and hear it in these words
And I begin to know, and I begin to feel, everything I've wanted
And I become a man through you
You find out my needs, this separation,
Push away everything and anyone connected,
To you needs and to your life and to your ties
I'll push it all away,
I said it's all right there for you to now
Hey I said it's all right there for you to tell...
I'll let you down my friend, I'll turn my back to you
I never meant to leave you, never meant to leave your room
You began alone, and you've begun again, all I wanted for you
I become alive through you,
Can you feel this constant resurrection of needs,
I'm sorry for those things I meant to help you, and I meant to fill you,
And I'll always let you down,
And I'll always put you out,
I'll push it all away,
I said it's all right here for you now
Hey I said it's all right there for you to tell...
Thought to feel it in your life
Thought to take your time to grow
I was sent to be here, left to hurt you, this time it's sad, you've gone
Hey I said it's all right there for you now
Hey I said it's all right there for you too
Hey I said ti's all right there for you now
Thought to feel it in your life
Thought to take your time to grow...

Understanding Lyrics - Candlebox

How people tell you lies. I thought you felt the same.
Somehow he thought you'd be there
Help him beat me down, again. It's all I know.
So you want for me, some things we never see.
Left alone to fill time.
So empty all your thoughts now, turn around your hate,
Take a look at me. Hang on security.
It's all been overrated, this life you live, it's not your own.
There no one here to help you.
It's all been unadulterated lies, they'll keep telling you
They'll keep telling you, how I want to...
Raise it on my own, nothing special maybe, nothing special lately
Time to feel it on your own, time you want to take control
So you've told them all, I though you looked the same!
Do you need this light to help you see it clearer again.
Closer to my letter, open up for some to breed,
You're sharper these days roll on security.
It's all been overrated, this life to live, it's not your own
There's no one here to help you
And it's all been unadulterated lies, they'll keep telling you
They keep telling you, how I want to...
Raise it on my own, nothing special lately, nothing special maybe
Time to feel it on your own, time you want to take control
No now fall, call for me to fall for
Everybody wants to tell you something,
Everybody wants to fill your, nothing.
Everybody wants to break you out now,
Everybody wants to take you out now.
And everybody wants to tell you,
And everybody wants to fill you in.
Do you think it's time to tell them?
Yes I think it's time you shove them a little harder.
Yes I think it's time that you pushed them over
Don't you think it's time you told them stop!
Raise it on my own no, no time to feel your soulless lately
Everybody wants to tell you something,
Everybody wants to bring you something,
Everybody wants to take you,
And everybody wants to bring you down
Time you feel it in your own, time you let them take control,
Time you fill their needs, so empty all your thoughts my friends
For everybody wants to break you,
And everybody wants to push you around...

Crooked Halo Lyrics - Candlebox

Eyes to you every hand I see. Eyes to you, very heavy in my hands.
Eyes raised up to your hand, my arms diseased
Eyes fall, eye follow you, and I'll be,
Some thing's not ready for...
My love to you. I've been this space for you.
Our crooked halos and I, I fall to you again.
Some things I, some things I've never been told.
Your head to me, heavy as I'm dropping down.
So you rase it to me, as my feet, my feet they hit the ground.
All for you my hands are burning,
All for you my knees they're hurting.
I push it down for, I push it down for, I push it down for,
Some things not ready for...
My love to you. I'll be your, your space to you,
Your crooked halo, and I fall, I fall, I fall to you again.
Some things I, some things I've never been told...
Can you see that we've raced these lessons of our days,
We're better off here yeah, we're better off dead,
These eyes follow you, my eyes follow you,
Do you remember in our day? Won't you let it go...
Can you see me my tired friend, there something I need to tell you.
I guess I meant to give to you a long, long road ago.
It's all for your my hands are beating,
It's all for you my mind, I've needed you.
I fall to you again, and I fall to you again.
There's some things I've never been told,
There's some things we've never shown
There's some lines I've never told you,
There's some times I, I've never showed you
Do you still need my time if I show it to you?
And do you still write it off every time I open to you?
I know it's alright, I know it's alright, I know it's alright...

Bothered Lyrics - Candlebox

Take everything I want to,
Break down every time I'm told to,
You steal every line I cling to,
And find out every lie I've told you.
And so you want to help me,
Rushing in my state,
So you wanna help me
And losing all my time
So you wanna know me.
I step aside my hate,
Who said you ever told me?
You lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, yeah.
A puppet in my hand I'll hold you,
Strung out on the line I sold you,
And bothered by the time I reach you,
Stepped in, by time, I fall.
And still you want to mold me,
Rushing in my state,
So you wanna mold me.
And losing all my time
So you wanna know me.
I step aside my hate,
Who said you ever told me?
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, yeah.
You lie yeah.
So you wanna know me,
You lie yeah.
So you wanna mold me,
You lie yeah.
Who said you ever told me?

It's Amazing Lyrics - Candlebox

At a stand still, somebody, somebody put me here.
As I heal you, it's not that much difference, we'll be there.
Can't you all see, what it says?
It says ok now, ok now, now you go.
And I think I'll make it,
Because I love, I love you yes you know.
It's amazing, that we're still here.
It's amazing, how?
I know you fear me now,
Why did you leave it in my hands?
I can't explain it,
How can you leave me out,
How can you push me out,
How can you push me, push me around again?
It's amazing, that we're still here
It's amazing, how?
Turn it into my direction,
Why did you leave it, leave it in my hands?
How can you put me down, how can you put me out,
How can you push around, push me around again?
It's amazing...

Vulgar Before Me Lyrics - Candlebox

To you. Separation, only to put it down.
To you. Desperation, only to be around.
So on and so under, misdirected in other words.
Always I wonder, is there anything I can do for you?
Anything I can do? Well I can do anything...
To some, I've been singled out, always I take your fall.
To some, sane and broken down,
All we've left is dropping around you.
And you know these lines they're open ended.
These books were meant to be followed,
And your rules left to be read...
Is there anything I can do?
I can do anything. I can do anything,
It's vulgar before me...
Is there anything I can do?
I can do anything. I can do anything
Vulgar before me, Vulgar before me.

Butterfly (Reprise) Lyrics - Candlebox

Some will find subtlety left in strangers,
Some will find subtlety alone
And if you find everything like you're looking for,
If you find anything let me in
My eyes I see, I see everything
My eyes, I see it's together I know.
Some will find everything trapped in cages.
Some will find simple things inside their zoo.
And if you find everything like you're looking for,
If you find anything let me go.
My eyes I see, I see everything.
My eyes I see and I feel it's together I know.
Butterfly home, fly home, fly home, fly
And I'll raise my head up,
And I'll raise my arms up,
And I'll flutter on, beautiful,
Flutter on, beautiful,
Flutter on, I'm beautiful.
And I'll raise my wings up,
And I'll shed this shell off,
And I'll flutter on, beautiful,
Flutter on, beautiful,
Flutter on, I'm beautiful.
If what I know is real,
If what I know is all,
I'm dying, I'm dying
But I flutter on beautiful,
Flutter on beautiful.
I'm dying beautiful,
I'm dying beautiful.
Flutter on, I'm beautiful
Flutter on, I'm beautiful
And I see in my eyes,
And I feel in my skin,
And I walk in my world,
And I feel that I'm dying

Don't You Lyrics - Candlebox

Oh, I could tear your walls down
As I chip at who you are now
Don't you?
You ever let me know, how?
You never let me know

And I could break your heart down
As I tell you that you've burned out
Don't you?
You want to let it go, yeah
You want to let it go, yeah

Oh, don't you?
Oh, don't you?
Oh, don't you?

Scream and shout now
As I feel you pressin' down on
Don't you?
You walk upon my heals now
You walk upon my heals

And I should call your soul out
But I feel I've gained control now
Don't you?
You tell me what to do, yeah
You tell me what to do, yeah

You twist and turn your thoughts around
This road it's getting long stones
Don't you?
They're getting harder and you're
You're slipping slowly further
You're slipping slowly further
You're slipping slowly further
Than you've been before

Ohh, I don't need to know how, yes
And I don't need to blow out your candle
It's only burnin' at both ends
But your moods they wash away
No need to close your eyes today
You just take your
Your deeper breath you're goin'
Your deeper breath you're goin'

Under this time
It's under this time you
You've got to go now
Won't you?
You've got to go now
And don't you?

Don't you, you know it
Don't you, you know it
You've got to go now
Don't you?
You've got to go now

Change Lyrics - Candlebox

As I stand here
I ponder greater things
You're no longer a part of
A part of your lover's dreams
So much for your
Common complications
So much for your
Constant desperation
For what's to come
It's all been written
Down, written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come

As I sit here I'll tell you greater things
You're no longer a part of
A part of someone else's dreams
So much for your
Common escalations
So much for your
Constant fabrications
For what's to come
It's all been written down, down, down
I said for what's to come
For what's to come your way
It's all been written
Down, written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come

Keep on time
Keep on time
You run along
Keep on child
Keep on child
You push it on
Keep on my time
I run around for you
Keep on time
Keep on time
You run along
Keep on child
Keep on child
You push it on
Keep on my time now
I run around for you
Run around for you
But you've gotta keep on, keepin' on

You don't know yet
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
But you'll feel it in your soul
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
But you feel it in your soul
Feel it in your soul now
Do you feel that a change is gonna come?
Do you feel that a change is gonna come?

No
As I lay here
I wanna fall asleep
No longer,
No longer a part of
A part of your TV screen
A part of your TV dreams
I said so much for your
So much for your
So much for your
Your common complications
So much for your
Constant desperation
For what's to come it's all been written
Down, written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come

Feel in my heart it's for you
And I'll lie for you as I die for you
Pain in my heart it is real
And I'll tell you now
How I feel inside
Fuck you
It's for you

No Sense Lyrics - Candlebox

Feelin' fine
The fire won't burn out
Taste the sign
The trees won't come out
Seeing traffic driving by
Maybe you
You won't see me again
Cause I'm needed
Needed more and more every day
Someone takes my mind away
Tells me that it's
It's time to go
You wanna help me
As I'm fallin' down

I don't need you
Lies they won't surface
Your mind it wanders oh over
Again
Someone take on mind
I'm losin' you in time
Maybe that man he's standing by me
My head won't take this all alone
Someone they wanna tell you maybe you would suffer
Tell me once again
I'm under cover
Someone wanna feel like
Someone wants to feel like

I don't need you
Lies they won't surface
Your mind it wanders
Oh over again
Maybe oh
I don't need you
Your mind, it won't surface
My mind, it wanders oh over
Again
Someone tell you

Should I close my eyes again
Once again
Maybe someone will come and rescue me
Should I beg your forgiveness
I've fallen on my own
Someone take a picture
Put your camera away
Someone take today as traffic passes by
Never see
You never see it all

I don't need you
Your lies they won't surface
Your mind it wanders oh over,
Again
I don't need you
Your lies they won't surface
My mind it wanders oh over again
No sense

Far Behind Lyrics – Candlebox

Now maybe
I did not mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway
And now maybe
Some would say your life was sad
But you lived it anyway
And so maybe
Your friends they stand around they watch your crumble
As you falter to the ground
And then someday
Your friends they stand beside as you were flyin'
Oh you were flyin' oh so high

But then someday people look at you for what they call their own
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hear you calling home
But then some day we could take our time
To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
But you left me far behind

Now maybe
I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now I said maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain

No, no, no
Couldn't share the pain, they watch you suffer

Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes
But I live with what I've known
And then maybe we might share in something great
But won't you look at where we've grown
Won't you look at where we've gone
But then someday comes tomorrow holds
a sense of what I fear for you in my mind
As you trip the final line
And that cold day when you lost control
It's a shame you left my life so soon you should have told me
But you left me far behind, yeah
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
No, no, no

Oh no
Oh no no no no...
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
I said times have changed your friends
They come and watch you crumble to the ground
They watch you suffer
Yeah, they hold you down
Hold on down
Now maybe lover, maybe love
I didn't mean to treat you bad
But you left me far behind
Left me far behind
Left me far behind

Blossom Lyrics – Candlebox

Lights, they wash your face
Pale and misty white
Colour flowers
Your eyes seem ever changing in my mind
Colours bleed to red
As I kiss your face
Want to tell you I love you
Everyday as we grow
See I know now
Yes I know now it's all my own
And I know now

Can you feel my pain
As you walk on by
Will you tell me you need me
Every time, yeah,
All alone

See I'll show you things never seen before
For your mind to untangle
On your own, all alone
Yes I know now
Yes I know now
It's all my own
Yes I know now
I'll watch as you go
Yes I know now
It's alright

And I know now
Yes I know now
It's all on my own
As you blossom
Yes, you blossom everyday
And I know now
Yes I know now it's all my own
As you blossom everyday
Everyday...

Oh, I don't feel my arms are breaking up
I don't fear my eyes are turning red
I don't feel my arms are breaking up
I don't feel you slipping from my hands

yes I know now
Yes I know now it's all on my own
As you blossom everyday
And I know now
Yes I know now it's all on my own
As you blossom everyday
Now I know
Yes I know now
It's all on my own
As you blossom everyday
