Jack's Mannequn - The Resolution

I heard about this band, Jack's Mannequin, from a friend of mine on Stickam. She sent me a couple of the songs, and I ended up really liking them. My favorite song from their first CD is definitely Dark Blue (which I highly recommend you listen to because it's so catchy). I started talking to some of my friends about this band, and it turned out that Ace was a fan of them too. He ended up making me a CD of their new album, The Glass Passenger. A lot of people compare their new album to their first and say it's not as good. The problem is that their first album was REALLY good, but I think the new album has a place of its own. Sometimes you can't compare things, you just have to enjoy it for what it is. The song that really stood out to me on The Glass Passenger is "The Resolution." Check it out, I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this song.


There's a lot that I don't know
There's a lot that I'm still learning
But I think I'm letting go
To find my body is still burning
And you hold me down
And you got me living in the past
Come on and pick me up
Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast

And I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution

And the bars are finally closed
So I try living in the moment
'Til the moment it just froze
And I felt sick and so alone
I can hear the sound
Of your voice still ringing in my ear
I'm going underground
But you'll find me anywhere I feel

That I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution

You hold me down
You hold me down
I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness

I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light, I need light

I love this song!! I heard it on the TV through the music channels (in the Alternative Rock channel I think)! I recently forgot the title of the song, though, and I wanted to remember it ahah. Thanks for posting! Never heard the live version.
