Fast as it break Still, slower than you're shaking And I feel I'm awake now As long as it's taken There are no second chances Only room to make the changes But I know what it takes now No longer a stranger Just as it comes together Everything pulls apart You must forever remember What breaks, it makes the heart Everything I've evaded All the time I've waited I have only put off The only way to be strong Now, all I want is to find All I've left behind

Oh, to Know! 03:35
Well I would like to think that we can That we can know the sorts Know the worst of what hurts And we could agree just to be sure Of at least one thing Baby, you and me Oh, To Know! Just like a bottle floating oversea We’re floating to be free Two escapees We’re sailing along as a write-in To an ocean of doubt Out and on the prowl Oh, to know is to know nothing at all You would be a fool if you didn’t know that already Oh, to know is to drown us both down to the bottom! Oh, baby to know, baby to know Is knowing nothing at all Baby, to go all the way home Is just a place to call Who waits!? Who waits!? Future brings endings Baby to know, baby to know Is knowing nothing at all!

Leaving Town 03:13
Me and Matt were too nice to be rock n’ rollers Yeah, but we were getting by When they went where the wind frequented them Oh yeah, they had to get on by But when we talk about it, now It seems just so unkind When he flew across the sea With a fleet Of intentions caught in his eye He walked a ceiling that hit his mind Should he find The stars are a blanket over all the time? A sunset, country courtyard house I’ll take my chances in a world this big We’re leaving town Like a ghost in a crumbled house To the east I know there’s love to be found at the least But, oh man, then we’re heading west To the up and down The scenario frown And the restless press

Man on Fire 04:18
Nothing to say Nothing’s changed I can’t sleep When I know that it’s going on Into my head Think about all the things that I’ve said I want to go In a row down the line With that 10:30 train Never late to whistle away Safe and sorry in my room I was hoping it wouldn’t be doom That was coming for me if I didn’t see I want to feel lika man on fire Cast about the stones of desire I could be sitting on a pound of gold For all I know But I want to feel like a man on fire Still I don’t know why Consequence looms over dreamer’s rooms But lets go run Lets have a time We could find All that’s waiting for me in line Pounds of heavy syrup Thickening my conscience out of sight
5.
Radio waves From the rave of love Pick them up and read them, bring them through It's an overrated satellite A saturated social life There's no people in the street They're all hiding away in their holes I'm not afraid anymore I mistook Starlight for Straight Street Well, the future won't bring What you thought, what you sing So, you try your best To move on
6.
Misanthropy 04:36
To be one Must be the aspirations of Cold, cocked eyes And vibrations in your mind And no one knows why We do what we do So use it to blind The eyes of your conscious mind I dont care Get what you need But do I care? When I'm calling out Don't leave me, don't leave me here all alone You could not go and I could not stay And it was Behind your eyes You can decide To compromise With what you care But do I care? When I'm calling out?
7.
Oh my God, this weekend Well, I feel like I cheated again 'Cause the times I reel in Are waiting to be repeated again All my obligations Are just now sneaking right in 'Cause the times I'm reeling Are just waiting to be repeated again Oh, I just can't shake her advice She said, "You'd better be careful or it'll be your whole life." Oh my God, this weekend Well, these feelings you'll never forget You just might dream Or even be forced to relive At times that just seem so unkind That impossibility to rewind Oh my God, this weekend Well, I feel like I cheated again Burning holes in my socks And I'm changing my locks Guilty pleasure, falsified treasures I've either been sleeping Or I've gone right off that deep end again Could a trip to the store Be any more of a bore?
