Middle of Anywhere (free) 03:58
lyrics
download
I'm just fine I've got nothing but time To wait for things to happen to me soon It's almost dawn All my prospects are gone I toss delusions, nightly, around my room I can't sleep at night I'm drenched in sweat and doubt I wish I could clear my head But there's no space big enough To empty it all out I'm trying to save All these walls from caving in And crushing me under debris It's been four years Since you've been around here I know you'd never stick around for me And I can't seem to find Any answers for my mind And I would like to be In the middle of anywhere but here

Mines (free) 04:02
lyrics
download
While you were barely sleeping I head for the road Which one of us looks more alive? Lately, I don't know We must trade our weeks We must burn our lungs Then barely speak Then truth will come In a story Can you hear the message call? That glorious song I have to sing along As the clock ticks by In this cold, dark mine This bird can't fly He's my warning sign In a story Can you hear the message call? That glorious song I have to sing along In the ashes I hear you calling for me It's getting faster I fall asleep A streak of sun did shine To fill this heart of mine I feel like this might be the last time

Uniform (free) 03:53
lyrics
download
Dress me up Snap my photo for this badge You see I've done this all before Lace up these boots They're the seventh pair I've had And they won't be the last ones worn Sign me up On your payroll, if you will My guitar won't pay my rent But I don't mind Another way to pay the bills And save the money not yet spent Another routine daily commute Another insensitive boss to answer to Another fully-hopeless effort to conform And this is just another uniform Call me back If ever you might find the time I'm only hanging by a thread If you don't care My livelihood is on the line Then at least lie to me instead Type me in As a number on your screen And I'll look my very best A servant of A faceless, corporate machine Camouflaged among the rest I tried to climb the corporate ladder But I'm stuck on several broken rungs My optimism has been shattered, I don't care This is just another uniform to wear

Wrecking Ball (free) 04:16
lyrics
download
Once more My life is like an open book With no more pages left inside I wont speak my name Happenstance Has made me forge a battle plan You gotta kill yourself to stay alive I wont speak my name My story is the same I'm better off erased So if you tell me where you are I may not make it very far I made my bed in the heat of the fire I'll send a wrecking ball to you This world Well I don't see it casual I lift my head up towards the sky I'm in another place Alternate time and space I'm better off erased So if you tell me where you are I may not make it very far I made my bed in the heat of the fire I'll send a wrecking ball to you I'll be gone Into the sky With my hands up Throw my hands up And I'll be fine Throw your hands up Throw your hands up And I'll be fine

Humanity (free) 04:37
lyrics
download
Welcome to life May I take your coat? So glad you've arrived Now that you're home There's so much to do So open up your eyes A scene will unfold We've got air for your lungs Dirt for your toes And much more unknown The sun keeps holding on To the earth we ride on The sun keeps burning on For the earth we rise from Join me my friend There are billions of us We work for our own Some fall in love Some die alone And keep it inside When we turn out the lights And send you below Did you fall into line Or make one your own? Did you stumble and fall? This temporary life Is meaningless inside Without love, love, love So love, love, love

Spoke in Song (free) 03:13
lyrics
download
My eyes opened yesterday and saw That you were, all at once, the only thing at all There wasn't time For me to realign The plans I didn't have The time I was killing Is the space you're now filling You came along We spoke in song We spoke in song I've become a cynic, you can tell But you soak up my bitterness so well And you can't hide Your smile if you tried And you don't have to try And everyday I find you picking up new instruments to play In evenings I find us singing like bluebirds sing

Pendulum (free) 03:57
lyrics
download
This is not a dream It's really happening And all I see is truth I spend my time with you And open up our minds Let's open up our minds And see what new things are possible We've got an ocean full of gold And in the future, we may fall But I promise it won't hurt at all I can take the pain I'm not running The pendulum will swing We'll ride it through the change And it can be like when we were young We can hold onto mid-day sun Well don't be like everyone Giving up when they find their home

Intertwined (free) 03:52
lyrics
download
I'm alone in bed With my wondering head Into which you creep I'm way too tired to sleep And in our drunken dreams We'll say just what we mean Another piece to be Part of our history Always on the brink Our timing out of sync With all we could rely On in each others eyes Everything we missed Was in a fleeting kiss We knew would soon be gone With tomorrow's dawn And hey, take the best of me I'll wait, catch up with destiny In fate, I don't much believe But I know, somehow, we're intertwined I was my most down When you were not around I searched in every place To fill your vacant space And when you returned Back over bridges burned I caught a faint new spark Somewhere in the pitch dark For now, we'll separate Until a later date Maybe someday we'll run Far from the damage done And if our love manifests May it be nothing less Than just as perfect-seeming As visions we were dreaming On lonesome nights
