Problems (You Did Not Know You Had) 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Evaluated fact Equated this with that Assimilated mystery Closed an open book For a sated look Left alliances for dreams Wearing all the centuries Beauty never stays for cheap And the trick is to believe They won't bring you down They can't keep you down Built a raven's nest Beckoned all the rest Inherited your mother's spleen The pieces never fit You had to wrestle it And settled down with your defeat Problems you did not know you had Problems you did not remember Problems you could not foresee Are taking over

I'll Come Running 03:17
lyrics
buy track
Sorry for the life you've led You lie sleepless in your bed You regret the things you've said And the thoughts inside your head I'll come running It's okay to take advice Or to believe in Jesus Christ You have made a sacrifice You don't need to make it twice You can make it through today You can wipe the tears away You can get up, you can stay You can alter what you say You can take it come what may You can hold the wolves at bay (You can handle this delay) (You can listen and obey) And you might find that it's alright Anyway

Static 03:32
lyrics
buy track
Should I do everything for you Discover and dream for you Letting go is nothing new I should have figured out What this was all about Getting over you I hear it all in blue The static still comes through All light and sound revolve around The silence in your eyes Can I go out on a limb for this I'd die for a single kiss Fretting all my life away And I'll do what you say But I'd never take the risk Heading out from bliss

A Winter Not To Forget 03:49
lyrics
buy track
Locked inside the cold embrace by the summer's glare Can't seem to satisfy or escape from there I'm sinking faster now and wanting more I don't remember it as cold before or after you were here We walked in silence as the night moved in The city waits for us to dream again The street below the sodium glow Dance to a rhythm that goes on and on and on You told me not to forget about you As if I could I carry on exactly as I used to do Relapse until I find a passage through The dirt below, cold sodium glow The rhythm in my head goes on and on and on A winter not to forget

Adina 03:28
lyrics
buy track
Adina walks into another time and place She didn't notice but her heart's in outer space Adina parts the clouds with every step she takes Then realizes that she is that which she fakes And I know that it's been hard for her It's been real hard for me All the things in life she wanted most Are just out of her reach Even though she'd hardly be The only one to be replaced Adina takes here time with everything she does If ever questioned why she just replies: "Because" Adina never thinks about all that she's missed Her eyes are open even when she's being kissed Adina brightens every room she passes through She knows a lot about the things you know aren't true Adina look away whenever they're around It's just her way of making sure they stay inbounds

A Million Years 03:03
lyrics
buy track
I looked back and I got sad All the things in my life that I once had I walk the earth like a drugged out ghost Losing at last what I loved most And it seems like a million years since you were here with me Forcing smiles I never felt I believed there were still more cards to be dealt Tell me a lie and I'll think it true Was it twenty-oh-five when I last saw you Something in your wayward voice Petrified I decided I had no choice There's one more fact that you should know I never really wanted you to go

On Three 02:29
lyrics
buy track
There's no need to be scared No one's here to take you away They've all made other plans You fell off of the action list See what's coming through there So much graft to annihilate Always lost in a crowd Never one to be overdressed You don't need an excuse To become what you do You could use an escape To go on with you day For an hour or so You are free to let go Then you jump off the roof Anyway Take a look at the world What is there to appreciate Losing everything now Comfort knowing there's nothing left

My Accomplice 02:46
lyrics
buy track
I've been like this forever A not-too-normal person And I always spoke a language No one else conversed in All the things I wanted to be Deserted me when you did And left me in the cold I shivered and I waited But when I think about it I don't feel regret I can still remember the exact time we met I wish that I could start all over I wish that I could finally see But there's nothing in this world That means that much to me anymore I never talk about it Denial's my accomplice I guess it helps a little Why should I want to stop this And all the things that I could have been Too abruptly ended And now I'm getting old Alone and un-befriended

Oh Well 03:22
lyrics
buy track
The situation here is perilous The evidence suggests it's serious We've lovely parting gifts For all of the participants Just get the numbers right And you'll be happy overnight Oh well Fortune's chosen ones all in a room Expected more that this pervasive gloom Within this audience There's nothing left of innocence And eyes that once shined bright Are clouded almost overnight Oh well Buy low, sell high Try not to look like them Indecision Three finger monogram It's taken way too long to figure out That the results were not ever in doubt Who can identify A single moment passing by And with authority Say to the world: "Hey! This is me!" Oh well

Retrograde Act 03:03
lyrics
buy track
Looking into the sun Say I'm the only one Taken to extremes and finding more Focus on the words and not the sores All the things you are All the things you were before Seeing it overdone Carry the biggest gun Hide it all away and close the door Focus on the pain and not the sores All the things you are All the things you will become

Peddle The Truth 02:40
lyrics
buy track
You better be careful That your words don't come out wrong You better be careful Or you'll end up in this song You better be thankful As the years just come and go You better be thankful That your feelings never show I don't know what to say I don't know what to do You are happy today So I'm happy for you I don't know what to think Or what I should believe So I peddle the truth Wouldn't it be awful If you wasted all this time Wouldn't it be awful If for once you speak your mind You better be grateful Like I told you once before You better be thankful That here's no one keeping score

The Stamp Collector 03:03
lyrics
buy track
It's such a shame How you wasted away The stamps you collected The money you saved All that's left of your empire All that remains Cynical outbursts Caught in the flames You can strike while the iron in hot Give up on devious plots Filling in various slots It could be, it could be right But it's not Ritual slander Recoiling in shame The unhealthy aspects Of rugged terrain Are you waiting on some one To polish your name At the critical moment They all look the same

Promised Land 02:50
lyrics
buy track
The surface tension in your eyes The smoke from your fifth Black And Mild The song that we both recognize The flavor of your accent leaving Scars that I don't want erased And demons I should never face The steps that I cannot retrace The colors of the world deserting me Can I never tell you That I love you so So it goes with everything The signs that you have never seen The light shined once on you and me The sound of your distress concealing All the moves that we had planned I placed into your narrow hand The promise of the Promised Land The pleasures of the world deserting me

Worst Of Me 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Every day - a little shorter Every dream - a little further away Carefully avoiding any mirrors And curse my life a thousand times a day Every face - a little darker Every thought - a little more decay I stopped trying to keep it together I'd raise my voice if I had something to say Every wound - a little deeper Every action met with only delay If I move fast enough maybe you'll be there Trading secrets in the lovers' parade And I retain this kind of torn up picture In my mind of me and you I create a kind of new born creature That's the last thing I would do You got the worst of me

Jesse James Canyon 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Winter's never done And spring may yet come It's only calligraphy I will give you All the sunshine in my heart Floating once again A hunger bites the hand The story's unsettling I will give you All the sunshine in my heart Have you changed your hair Or cried when no one's there This ending is killing me I will give you All the sunshine in my heart I looked back and then I do all that I can To get back to everything I will give you All the sunshine in my heart

Ballad Of Wedgepiece 04:00
lyrics
buy track
Cast party stow-away Fresh out of jail and blank The call of the wild That's how it seemed to me So Mark and I wrote songs To keep me in my place Too low on faith and hope and love The music's all that I've got left Your lies don't control me Your wars can't control me Design won't control me Disease can't control me We put away electric guitars Down here you catch your breath When no one's listening And play to empty rooms The perks of obscurity So Mark and I wrote songs Let it all hang out And labor over words No one really hears We sing about our lives Get paid with vapid stares Not punk enough They all look so young now So Mark and I write songs And fight complacency Heard this joke before Still waiting on the punch line

Lament 01:59
lyrics
buy track
Was it kind of like the pictures You had in your mind An inaccurate description Of what you would find And I know that you're hurting so bad Worse than anything before I abhor this I don't want you to cry anymore Is there some way you could manage Without losing face An extremely vague expression Of the common place And I know that you'll be alright Stronger than you were before this I abhor this I don't want you to cry anymore (Try not to look so sad) You're still beautiful (Try not to look so sad) You're still beautiful Trying hard to ignore The things in life you deplore I don't want you to cry anymore

Third Rail 04:33
lyrics
buy track
All the words you can say Can't revive anything And by the sea, looking out You recall everything And it suits you, faint aroma In the streetlights I remember Something special or disturbing Always sent back, it's December A hundred years in a trance Skip a straight line paralyzed And holding hands with the dark You recall everything It's the third rail that reminds you Can't revive you, you're too grounded On the beach where this all started It's collapsing, the trumpet's sounded On the way you decide To divulge yourself to me And with the nighttime air around you I recall everything
