White Line 03:51
Opened the window all of the bullets we fired came falling out of our hands Soaking it in we all think we're catching the rain To keep the burns from settling out of what remains Drive straight on the White Line Black of the cliffside against the whirl-pooling sky Holds us together spinning endlessly caught in between the rules of things that I never learned It's easy on the White Line Rise of the second sun and our first point of view with the curtains up again now we can reach to feel something Here's to what lies at the end of the road ahead fading off the White Line Safe and Sound Goodbye

You don't have to tell me your name I already know the shape of your face All I know is I would, I could have shown you the good that you sent my way I'll stay in this city all night just to find you again Pick up the sound that lives in my mind up from the ground, give me a smile thinking of the signs that you cared they froze me right there it felt like a while I'm Lost inside a Moment in this ride Come and find me again Nothing will keep me from you I know, I know I'm destined to love you Nothing will keep me from you I know, I know I'm destined to love you Destined to love you Frozen like a silvery screen the cold wind has made a hero of me one who lets his love walk away here's hoping someday I'll chase after it I'll stay in this city all night I'm Lost inside a Moment in this ride When there is darkness look for this light I will find you, and I will see you again Nothing will keep me from you I know, I know I'm destined to love you Nothing will keep me from you I know, I know I'm destined to love you Nothing, Nothing I'm destined to love you Nothing, Nothing I know, I know I'm destined to love you Destined to love you

Paint living stars you always said you were a Gemini double the arms when there's nowhere else left to hide hold me/let me fall I know I'll be safe tonight When earthly winds aren't strong enough to lift me to your skies with every directionless road goes on for miles it's you that leads me home Satellite Shines in the dark you're a movie that shines in the dark and i'm filling seats hoping to play the part Of a man who can breathe in space I've memorized the lines When earthly winds aren't strong enough to lift me to your skies with every directionless road goes on for miles it's you that leads me home Satellite West Coast sunsets paint me apathetic the flower on your wall victim of headlong loving Well I could be the last thing on your mind but sitting here next to you would make something unreal be true As our hearts weaken by time separate what's yours from mine the future is way passed due from sharing a moment with you.

Your silhouette is giving me chills inside this blanket of shadow lie with me lie to my face escape what we know What does it take to come undone? come here, stay 'til the morning fade with me like angels we'll fade Fictional Yet Complete

Cement Shoes 02:59
Only shy one stone at the bottom of your ocean floor nobody ever looks down skeletons chipping your shoulder even when they're locked away​ The pit of nonchalance dark enough to hide that you're sure no one will ever find you every lover on the way is a saint arms outstretched to fix you color you too bright make the passersby come a little closer Standing ready, Standing ready the weight of it all shifts down as they ask you to move Standing ready, Standing ready in Cement Shoes A silent wearing out fear yourself the inevitable crutch enjoying the attention as the fabric everybody can touch feeling something you can too Then they'll leave you you know it to be true so you fight left in dust or tied 'til it's long over Standing ready, Standing ready the weight of it all shifts down as they ask you to move Standing ready, Standing ready in Cement Shoes Look too far ahead and you'll be missing all the joy that you had ​Coming Out Of Your Shell

Under A Lie 02:12
Gritting teeth to dust stragglers picking them up shades on at night a darker black Reddened by neglect filling passed your neck abandoned by your friends Don't care where you've been only where you're going to treat your feeling like a wheel to disassemble through Home inside your head where no one can get in when your affection turned dead is not the word For how you feel about​ a fucker with another high school smile to make you feel like shit ​Don't care where you've been only where you're going to treat your feeling like a wheel to disassemble through you'll forgive until it hurts everything you've known of love is a knife you're Under a Lie you're Under a Lie

There's nothing like familiar turned strange Faces in a dark room, developing hate held together by unbreakable frames somehow I can't help, but swing a hammer for their sake The bloody reminder of what's been done no time to react, now I lost a friend to superstition Another denial to shatter vision I took a good look and saw something No one listened ​What's the use in bringing lies out to the light when they're giving way cutting every tie? I'll Show and Tell by myself I'll Show and Tell by myself A sudden rush of all the troubled heavy handed wishes I could have followed It might have led anywhere, but who knows? Everybody seems to be experts on all my problems Accusing me of loaded questions like who will pave the road with their good intentions and what's the chance it cracks beneath them? A sad excuse covered by more conditions What's the use in bringing lies out to the light when they're giving way cutting every tie? I'll Show and Tell by myself I'll Show and Tell by myself

Lucid High 02:47
Giving me sleep just to hide be someone else the bullwhip headlights they grow unstable in my skull Walking the street since 4 a.m. a ghost in a town a weary self-saboteur needs an angel in this hell Everywhere I walk is a Lucid High On this road safe from time Listen for the sound to Level the Shaking Ground Cutting in deep, this narrow path is a balancing act ​the folks in cheap nosebleeds enabling well, they can't tell When trying to read between the lines through a crack in the wall it's slowly fixing itself through the years of negligence Everywhere I walk is a Lucid High on this road safe from time Listen for the sound to level the Shaking Ground Everywhere I walk is a Lucid High I'm on a jagged road that severed from time and i'm living all the lives of the people gone by I don't know who I am and I can't figure it out Listen for the gentle sound to level the shaking Listen for the gentle sound to level the shaking Listen for the gentle sound to level the Shaking Ground

Little Faith 05:28
When I came to I fell through the bottom of the earth read the numbers wrong now i'm praying for a ticket home crossed the boundary line to speak my voice out all alone What's the good of hanging around when my eyes aren't the only things watching me? But I stay here Holding on to what Little Faith Empty spaces That are begging to be filled I covered up my face held my hands out with no shame but the guilt bled through just like this pen broken in my hand and if I was ever someone then I know I'm not meant to understand What's the good of putting up walls when all I want to do is knock them down and hope for clarity? but I keep building two more to designate all my friends are gone and I'm left with what Little Faith Weld the corners of my eyes wide open and switch me off I forgot whether I'm going home or not I'm convinced I'm inanimate Please take away my feeling Disconnection What's the good in it all as darkness falls and I walk on the thin air still breathing What's left of me?

Leaving You 05:56
I sold my soul to live and die alone the devil asked me pitiable things it's none of my concern of how you lost your wings but you better fucking let me in It washes over gently like a wave and every sign I took points halfway with any voice I hear is canned laughter needs more medicine I'm getting pretty sick of it Death could last a lifetime the wound is open anew don't be afraid about the things you leave behind it's the world that's Leaving You The cares for evolution plateau and being something doesn't help me be asking just to stand for this labels me a hypocrite the show is better when it's free Lucky is the same as pride and accidents don't keep you alive only if you're loud enough to keep the glass from coming up the story's ended many times Death could last a lifetime the wound is open anew don't be afraid about the things you leave behind it's the world that's Leaving You When dreams are of the only things you have Promises you make are just the same Subject of imagination It's always how i feel and never what I've done I think it's time to leave this place
