On My Way 04:00
Should I leave San Francisco what bridges would I burn? Would Golden Gates close on me if I did return? I hear the road a-callin', a crossroads in the breeze, a teary-eyed farewell to my West Coast fantasy. Should you leave me darling, will I find my way? Without you I'm a stranger stumbling through my days. I'd rather have you gone than a crutch on which to lean, there ain't no use in lying as we'd be chasing buried dreams. Well I got a little lazy, I fell into a slump, now I must be on my way. I played it safe and now I see that I'm too young to have one place that I call home. Time is pressing on me, always on my back, his hand upon my shoulder, his breath upon my neck. And I can't seem to keep up, no matter how I try, stuck inside my own shoes as the world it rolls on by. Head out to the East Coast and catch a jet to Spain with the hope some traveling might help to clear my brain. They say trial, tribulation, without it comes stagnation and you'll cease to chase those buried dreams. (chorus) Maybe I'm just running, but what else can we do but feel our way out blindly and keep on passing through? Well life keeps getting harder, someone's got it worse, and what is happiness without a little blood and thirst? Oh universal heartache, a friend misunderstood, without you I'm a blind man wasting all that's good. Your tactics are unrivaled in helping me to see when to cease chasing buried dreams. (chorus) Now I'm trudging though the mire and thankful for the sun 'cause today's another day, and time is just a gift we get to borrow for a while.

Little Song 03:00
Does your love fade? Does your love fade over time? Does your love fade? Is your heart still mine? We laid in bed the other night and I assessed whether we were alright and I missed you though you were by my side, wondering If your love fades, if your love fades over time, if your love fades and are you still mine? We never raise our voices or are so cold. No it's the silence that scares me most, I can hear a train coming, I can't detect a ghost. I just want to know what's on your mind, so please ignore my tears. Because I'd rather hear a truth that sounds unkind than a quiet so insincere. Does your love fade? Does your love fade over time? Does your love fade? Is your heart still mine?

City Spring 03:51
I'm sorry son, you can't carry everyone, no the world isn't yours alone to bear. And don't think for a moment you have that right, the world is something to share. Self righteous you, you just assume that your strength outweighs the rest. Well have some faith, you have no right to wear another man's vest. All by your lonesome in the city spring trying to find your place in everything. Don't be so proud, you speak too loud and not every thought should be said. And the world needn't know every song you sing nor every thought in your head. So take things slow and watch the river flow, the way the ripples dance from your feet. And revel in the fact you'll be the only one to witness this lovely scene. All by your lonesome in the city spring trying to find your place in everything. So strap on your boots, and nourish your roots for we're only as good together as we're apart, and the heart of the forest can only beat when each tree plays its part. When you're feeling down, I hope you hear the sound of the blood pumping through your veins and you feel your flesh crawl when the breeze blows in before you slip in the grave. All by your lonesome in the the city spring trying to find your place in everything.

Gunman 03:52
Gunman's on the run he's got a plan, he's having fun, he's coming for you Gunman's on the run There is no saving grace What is mercy? Even kids aren't safe There is no saving grace And it's one, two, three, twelve for you and one for me He's just like you and me a broken home, bad T.V., a restless cog He's just like you and me No pistol by his side it's automatic, the thirst for suicide No pistol by his side And it's one, two, three, twelve for you and one for me Shots ring and now he's dead his legacy an ode to our madness Shots ring and now he's dead The battle's just begun the blaming game, the shooter won, there's no progress The battle's just begun And it's one, two, three, twelve for you and one for me

Come to bed like our bodies haven't met Close your eyes, feel my warmth by your side Don't be late for time is short, she doesn't wait So hold me close, shut the blinds, the world's too cold One last time One last time Kiss me soft as morning sun dusts us off And so delay the misery of future days Hear my breath for screaming silence follows death Veil my eyes, forget what's next we have tonight One last time One last time Come to bed, it's like our bodies never met Your gaze grown long, looking past what has gone The morning dew fell much faster than I knew I saw you rise one last time from my side One last time
