Where 04:10
Don't have to be afraid at the center of attention I'd rather say it to a crowd than to your face There’s no thought of where we’re going No thought of where we’ll be And then we crashed Fell at least I think we have No complaints a scratch a scrape and a nervous laugh And I cant look past you, No I can’t see through you anymore There's no thought of where we're going There's no thought of where we'll be There's no thought of where we're going As morning approaches I head off to catch some sleep I sigh, let go and sink Deep into the sheets The facts and situation Blend and haunt my dreams I wake up and smile I woke up and smiled A quiet reason why There's no thought of where we're going There's no thought of where we'll be There's no thought of where we're going There's no though of where we'll be {And I can't look past you And I can't see through you anymore}

Kings 04:42
{Aw, dude I get a killswitch now!} *ba ba ba ba* *ba ba ba ba ba* [Don't hit that by accident] {3, 4} The year was 1954 or so Made his way back across the Pacific Ocean air, breeze off the coast Hometown girl still here he hoped The time goes on, and she forgets And when he died she never Felt it when he left Introduce yourself friend in the mirror Foreign reflection she says hello Introduce yourself friend in the mirror Foreign reflection you say hello Left on her own Gentle pleasant, quiet, cold My Name left on the ground deadpan pictures deadened sound Where am I and does he hate me? It’s been so long since he stopped by There’s only one, you know I found him There’s only one, you know he's mine Left on her own Gentle pleasant, quiet, cold My Name left on the ground deadpan pictures deadened sound Where am I, and does he hate me? It’s been so long since you stopped by

Chapels 05:04
{Let's play let's play the song} A good man's ghost probably haunts this place There’s something About old chapels Hours staring up at lights Patterns in my eyes Never enough Where did the time go? Where did my drive go to change? I’ve been sitting too long But I still feel the same I’ve been wasting my time Small town Tight knit To no one I know That face From somewhere I know That face I swear Sleeves rolled back down Can you feel it too? I can only hope I can only hope It lasts til the morning Did you hear ‘bout the vigil downtown? Such a shame that the vigil’s downtown Send my regards Send my regards I hope it does something.

Contrast 03:38
I like to think just in the dark Sun puts out too much Open up the lens Curtain Exposure's not that bad You need it to see The colors from the shade Can we get back to where we were? Was it fleeting or can we make it last? When we both knew The world was alive and well Shadows cast by tunnels Makes them worth the trip Canyons form the hills God knows I could use the lift Ears back like a dog you limp back home You did the right thing Did the right thing so you know Ears back like a dog you limp back home You did the right thing Did the right thing now you know But you've only shown That you know you've grown And isn't that the beauty of it all Can we get back to where we were? Was it fleeting or can we make it last? Can we get back to where we were? Was it fleeting or can we make it?

Carry 03:53
didn’t speed up, in the rain The other day Hat still set back glancing at the gray And I know it won’t carry over Fly over states Mountains and plains Pages and papers that Don’t say, your name But we both know That I’m spelling it out And I know it won’t carry over and I hope the place that you call home Takes you in Escaping pavement, trading it in For her grin You chose right You manned up I can’t deny Never crossed your finish line And I know it won’t carry over Now I’m on landlocked Island Time you haven’t made the call but Neither have I Set in bustling opposite lives Cause I got class you got 9 to 5 Your Family, my friends Separate grass, green divide I tell myself There’s no reconcile And I know it won’t carry over
8.
Letter 03:48
But I’m writing you a letter Cause the winters up here Are way too slow And I’m writing you a letter Cause the winters up here Are way too slow The Carrier's been delayed Crossing the mountains between us Taking his time I’m sure - But what he doesn’t know Is the letters, they've arrived Now they’re buried in the snow Now they're buried in the frozen tide “Brother, I hope that all is well I'm Crossing the mountains when spring thaw pierces The divinely frozen hell” It was his response lost in transit Describing thoughts of a lone ship on the Atlantic A trail far too long And meager his rations equipped for the weather being this strong A last testament He felt it cliche for in his hands to lay and so he sent it on along "And I’m writing you a letter Cause winters up here Are way too slow”

Skyline 08:51
She found her last home on the third story Two windows in every room But they were locked that day you came to know as the sun began to rise it may as well have never cleared the trees and met your eyes you came to know as the sun began to rise it may as well have never cleared the trees You can’t see the skyline No view just a waste Could she see the skyline? No view, was it a waste Is there any point in writing about her death? Ten more newspaper printings can’t say what hasn’t been said yet what hasn't been said yet But it’s the stories And lives That come to an end That come to an end She was 10 years old it tore you in two Remember you told me she’d ask If she could come home with you Cut short by a bursted burning battery A quiet falls over A quiet falls over everyone Sun pours over horizon Loss placed firmly at your feet
11.
Talk 02:33
Television screen Drenches walls and I'm left Lying on the floor by myself Spinning ceiling fan hours spent dwelling on the feelings that I know won't see next year And I love to talk About how I'm tired all the time And I need to talk air through my chest pay me no mind Simple words in hand clouded eyes a weight lifted off my shoulders that's for sure Threatening skies still sit outside it's fine never minded nasty weather anyhow And I love to talk About how I'm tired all the time And I need to talk air through my chest pay me no mind Telling myself daily there must be something wrong but now I'm going to leave that all behind Telling myself daily there must be something wrong you all you taught me to leave that all roadside

Roadside 04:10
Blank eyes that stare me through the most Blank mind that still seems full of hope Left To it's own Devices No Machine, no leverage Left Lying Faded in the sun Skin Parched for marks Spine come undone Blank eyes that stare me through the most Blank mind that still seems full of hope Frigid Air of Silence biting Ragged Edge Not much left worth, a "Worse for wear" A body lying struck down left aware A body left aware, left aware And so I grabbed a hold of his skull and I pulled and I screamed in All of the words that I'd been taught over the years now my voice is gone And so I grabbed a hold of his skull and I pulled and I screamed in All of the words that I'd been taught over the years now my voice is gone Oh roaming traveler Dead on the road away from home Your spirit escaped From the rib-cage where you kept her To fly Prematurely to the light It’s not your time I’ll speak you back to life As dendrites clasp hands with axons Cannon shot synapses fire at will I will transfer my essence Through astral projections Of self through the void of your skull A reanimate being Somnambulant vessel of flesh I command you to rise, Lazarus, rise Get to your feet open your eyes Open your eyes The blank eyes I'd seen took on a familiar glimmer and as I passed out with the dirt in my eyes, the traveler began to stand Blank eyes that stare you through the most Blank mind that still seems full of hope My blank eyes stare you through the most My blank eyes stare you through {bow bow bow} {YES} (I did that right!)

Cedar 03:24
We made it back But not to where we were this is our home now Crumpled up Thrown into the street Swept up what my life was meant to be But now I know, taught by the best Sieve mind clogged retains and now it’s time to rest On this plateau, tired but ready to take flight perched on the cedar that still sits set in search for sun light I settle in Won't settle down
14.
Tinnitus 08:54
I can't sleep Even If I tried The only sound I hear’s The constant ringing in my ears, no On my own in my search for quiet Last time, had to cross an ocean just to find it I can’t sleep Even If I tried The only sound I hear’s The constant ringing in my ears no I can't sleep Even when the lights go out, No I can't sleep (Even when the lights go out) And I couldn't sleep Even If I tried The only sound I hear’s The constant ringing in my ears no I can't sleep (It's annoying, isn't it?) {MAKE IT STOP} (unintelligible) EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
