Alone 02:38
Firelight is shining clear But it can't burn away our fears We're all gonna die right here We end up alone We're all gonna die right here We end up alone
2.
Scar 03:46
I'll always have you around But I won't give you a thought People might think about If it was my own fault I tore myself apart Right from the start And I think it's strange That you'll never change You are my scar No sense in disguising you I try to keep prizing you But I always end up I end up despising you I tore myself apart Right from the start And I think it's strange That you'll never change You are my scar

Bleed 03:53
You know we're out on the town all night And I can't help that you're not uptight Come on and leave with me baby come on To call it love's just a waste of time A second verse with a pointless rhyme Come on and need with me baby come on Out on the streets I can taste your smile And in the cab for a couple miles Come on and be with me baby come on But Lua's right that the night's a lie And all your truth's just an honest lie That we recede into baby come on 'Cause when the morning comes on our cityscapes By ones and twos and threes I can write my wrongs into all these songs For all the world to see And now my head is a fucking mess You're smoking weed as I slowly dress Come on and bleed with me baby come on And when the world starts to crumble down I'll air my wounds in the midday sun Come on and bleed with me baby come on

How To Live 02:53
Shouting out loud trying to make you proud but baby you just turn away Playing music in bars and driving fast cars but feeling lonely at the end of the day I've got a half broken dream and a highway And though I'll love you till the day I die I've gotta put the hammer down Get the hell out of town Keep running to the end of the line I heard the road to happiness is paved with paper degrees There must be something that I went and missed because I'd have to stay I disagree And though I ain't got a plan to retire you know I'll love you till the day I die I gotta put the hammer down get the hell out of town and keep running till the end of the line I don't feel like going home I don't feel like growing old I don't feel like being told How to Live I've got a half broken dream and a highway And though I'll love you till the day I die I've gotta put the hammer down Get the hell out of town Keep running to the end of the line I've gotta put the hammer down get the hell out of town and keep running till the end of the line Put the hammer down get the hell out of town keep running till the end of the line

Born For 03:39
I'm grabbing all your cigarettes I'll tear them down I can't spend one more night in this place I oughta be alone tonight so I'll take the walk I was never one for saving face I was born to be yours but you could do better for sure I think the lights on the docks of my city know what I mean Waiting on a phone call from a friend Once last chance to make the amends That she swore she'd make before the year was through I was resolute as well making vows I couldn't tell 'Cause like a birthday wish they never would come true If you were born to be mine you won't have an easy time But I think we're getting better, this might just last forever this time When I first arrived on shore Memory rich and money poor I assumed you'd ask for more Guess I never knew you well before If we were born to be here, that would justify my fears But I know that's not the answer, I'm pretty goddamn sure it's just my fault

Autopilot 03:01
There are times I wake up in a cold sweat Fifty-thousand feet in the sky Hands are wet, slipping on the wheel Of the plane that I'm supposed to fly And I know that you're shaking your head I told you I was gonna crack All the gauges that used to be lit up Might as well be painted black Autopilot burning you down Autopilot straight to the ground Autopilot you won't be found Autopilot I can't be trusted with you JFK, 737, transatlantic on a cloudy day Tower calls, radar's going down and you'll have to find your own way No help! Dammit I told you I'm worthless when I fly alone Hey Computer! I'm defeated! How ya gonna get me home?
7.
As I stand with my heart on fire And my hair all caked in mud All the spires on the city's tattered walls Celebrate the child's blood All the backstabbed and the damned Fall to pieces in her hands But underneath these sunken streets You can hear dissension creep From the lives in the fallow fields below All await an endless tomb Clerics wail in a serenade to dawn Underneath this ceaseless gloom High above they feast on flesh Till they can barely catch their breaths But down below our bodies ache Swear we won't make the same mistakes But it's happening again Morning comes after centuries of night In a swirl of blood and fire New flags wave looking like the flags of yore All atop this city's spires Marching on
8.
Sophia 03:23
Sophia, I see you You're walking up the stairs And you don't care Sophia, I see you You dyed your hair one day For something new There's something new Right inside those books that you're Carrying upstairs, avoiding my looks I want to tell you something Though I know I shouldn't ask Because I already know What I need to know Sophia, I see you You're walking up the stairs And you don't care Sophia, I see you You dyed your hair one day For something new There's nothing new about the way I look at you You're so used to it I wish It wasn't true I'm thinking now That I should stay alone right here But I need to make a move I know I need you now Gotta find some peace of mind Because I don't want to lose it over you And I know I've got so much time But I just need another minute to get through To you
9.
At the bar it isn't hard to tell me what to do I'm such a nervous wreck that every breath I take Is either cigarettes or booze But every time you call me out again I'm such a sad dog on a lease I stumble close behind and try to read your mind So that you'll offer me a treat Tied to the table, five dollar glasses It's getting late and no one asks But take it from me babe I'll be the one to leave Your life is fast tracked, I've always been assured I'm not a benchmark, you're no ambassador If you've got to lie try something I might believe Midnight comes with broken thumbs That try to keep you close at hand But lose you to the crowd and everyone around This city's bar scene wins again My eyes to the table breaking my glasses It's getting late and no one asks But take it from me babe I'll be the one to leave Out through the streets you're twirling and twisting Soft like the mist until we kissed Then you turned around and I silently watched you leave Left again at Church and Main I took the long way back alone A few tequila shots and all the love I've got Are not enough to bring you home
10.
You've gotta pick it up man and see it through you've got a little brother counting on you Count your reasons for living even if they are few 'cause I miss the man I once knew Spend your nights drinking whiskey till morning Spend your days just waiting on nights Don't go blaming the times you were born in Now it's time to start making it right I know I've been gone and it's not okay for me to show up like this anyway But I heard you were thinking 'bout leaving this world and I'd die before I let you slip away Spend your nights drinking whiskey till morning Spend your days just waiting on nights Don't go blaming the times you were born in Now it's time to start making it right Now you're mother and I, we don't talk much these days and I wish like hell that weren't true But the last time we spoke I remember her saying she'd fight wolves and swim oceans for you Spend your nights drinking whiskey till morning Spend your days just waiting on nights Don't got blaming the times you were born in Now it's time to start making it right I'm here to start making it right I'm not leaving your doorstep tonight
11.
With every loss split amongst her love Every double cross she'd been dreaming of There was no other way for the words she'd say And I would write them all wrong With every sign, every lightbulb blown I was terrified from the hope she'd grown In a thunderstorm when our love was born From the words we kept till the dawn And I need you now When I'm falling down When I'm bleeding out All across the ground And I feel it now when the morning hums And I'm out of lines but the words will come Standing on the shore beating back the oars Till a million grey faces escape or erase me I'm gone.
