Keep Quiet 04:39
Take a walk See the crowd all in the room Where I only notice you I could make it after all And that's all I'm thinking about Oh, I'll be around, I'll be around I'm not going anywhere, anywhere now Whats this, you called It doesn't mean anything at all Some say that it won't be that bad I can't tell her the truth It's too late now And it's gone I can not believe my luck I was on the brink but stayed I don't know if you would know That I only want to talk to you I could say a million things But right now you're just a friend I understand the whole silence So I can just stop talking now
2.
Take a personal day And you should know that I was only kidding When I said that I'd go anywhere The kids we used to be, and I can say that they're still here now I know you all, tell me what I can't say I know the truth that you would only let me I found my youth I found my youth Take a personal day And you should go just where I wouldn't The sun comes up across the hill But you won't climb up at all I saw my favourite band.
3.
There's a room there that I had to leave You tore it all apart for me But you always seemed to welcome me back If only, if only just for a laugh Some say things that they would never do But those things, they come back to taunt you After everything that I've ever done This is where I am I've got nothing to prove anymore So lock me in when you shut the door I called you up and I'll call again And I called you out I held you up and you stole again And I can't get right When this is all that I can say I start to doubt That I held you up and you stole again And I can't get right
4.
We're the first ones on the road You're just this cloudy humid day To safe to give away I'm to close to forget your pain I strive to just get by And now I'm failing at that And I can't even try to make it work so know that I thought that you could never I thought that you could never stay Lets go up the creek Just a bit more til we get told to leave til we don't know where we are Cause that's the only way that we can have some fun To get lost, when we need to run I was alone, but now I never know That it's all I could say That it's all I could do When it's all what we want and it's all what we say I could never be back home
5.
Old videos was the only evidence I found of seeing your life figured out What gets you through cause I used to be more than this And I'll like this moment only when I look back I'll feel fond of the time I ached and hoped for more To say that I felt like there was way more back then Only to realize that it doesn't end any differently now All that you promise I can't soon forget (But I want to) And I always wanted to get to the bottom of things And I didn't quite get the games we all used to play Where you don't say what you mean but you guess until you trip on a wire and it all comes crashing down You'll finish with a hate that you can still change It must be exhausting to deal with that But I don't believe you have to end with it, not now, not ever
6.
Departures 04:24
When we turn back we turn to dirt You start from here and I'll go slow I'll give you a head start though it ended long ago All of those people that I missed I thought there'd be a thousand more But no one really seemed to click When I was young it happened more I tried to give it all I had I swear it broke just when I knew That I could only stand so tall when I make it up to you And I just couldn't fix it And I'm just so broke It's not a plan to just go with it when you martyr yourself And all those things I said go down just like a grave Pack it all up, never open again I remember sitting, thinking this is the last time I'll be here I never missed it before, so why do I care? I was always tired, wired, I could sleep all day And I told them that I work for the street cars And never made you pay Here's the stop that we get off at Same as every other day Water it now with the salt found on your face Don't look at me now for a comfortable space Cause I will give in I will give in Down that stone road I found my sense Where at the end I took a bow I was alone but I still heard that a tree fell We both knew this ticking clock was always gonna end I hope you don't curse now that I can't see you again And back to dirt we go Not the tree we were before It's hard to breathe you know With the lack of oxygen we used to grow
7.
Farewell 04:34
Are you sleeping yet? Are your eyes as strained as mine? To the point where you can't look anywhere but inside I followed the signs then I lost it I called your name to hear something perfect Then I never tried again When you go I wouldn't know just what to say I wouldn't know just what to do Line up to tell everyone the truth That this is something that I never knew When you go I wouldn't know just what to say I wouldn't know just what to say Take caution, take caution And throw it to the wind What's the last thing you said? What's the worst thing you said? What's the last thing you said?

Abraham 03:06
I saw the red flags start to show So I got the hell out of that hole It's a risk that I got to know making the mistake I call my own Cause if I ever live with hate, it's so tiring to live that way About everyone that I know So be still here, find a picture that shows that you used to care I remember why, but now it's never there Check the door to make sure that it still works I'm not looking Call up an old friend to see if they're alive Get bored and wish you hadn't tried You never said what I still know I'll make a model of what I saw that day I'm not wrong today
10.
Sailboat 03:47
I was honest to a fault When I sold you myself The subtle things that tear your sails We need a little more than wind Just to forget that we were there Hope that you don't think that I Was only but a fool for what I could never change And I have come to see What I said could not last the year I was right to be left here Oh I tried to look past this 50's room Where I sit all day Just trying to make something move Oh God I couldn't change (What's it say? What does it say) Take me down the street All the faces I'd like to meet And green grass beneath my feet And I won't feel of defeat Times of love will fall on my grave Sitting down hazy on an autumn day
11.
When they're here and I saw Just what I wanted to be there And oh I couldn't wait And oh I could go But I hope that you found truth in yourself And it's been a long, long time Since I've seen you here Last call for the night that never was a thing To try and climb the mountains that you put here It's been a long time since I've seen you here It reminds me of the last time when all I felt was pains But it's not so bad this time Because I'm on the outside looking in Just looking in
12.
We've gotta take a break Just look what I've got lying around I've gotta find a new way to see To talk to someone else other than myself I saw it all, I found it out When I say that I can't lie I've never been worse off And this is not everything The first months are a ghost I never wanted just a friend But what I got was broken toes I saw it all, I found you out
13.
Lakes 05:53
I drove back home The whole time I had the same thought that I need I hold on to what keeps me going, and you really speak to me And I'm fine with these old buildings and no heat Cause I know that in time I'll be back on your street Time is, time is far Time is, time is far Let your bones take you so far But they can't replace your heart I drove back home today The whole time I had the same thought that I need Will you stay? And go to the place we always went when I was new And I was cold but I never let that get to me So don't let it get to you
14.
Allnighter 03:03
(Keep it at the bottom where it belongs Support the weight of a thousand more Growing pains make me stay where I am Growing pains make me stay where I am) Take the words that come out of your mouth And take them to mean that you're aware But you're just as reserved as I think I am When you don't move I can't show you what's near I'll the air away So nothing's between what we wanna say Operator could you just call them back up and tell them all That I'll take the job What I go through won't be waiting at the end Clean my hands of all that I resent Operator could you just call them back up and tell them all That I quit the job What I go through won't be waiting at the end But I can't wait until then I'll take the job for you The last thing that I do for you I'll take the job to end this stalemate The one where no one really gets away
15.
Retirement 05:23
I was alone and I saw the end But I didn't try to do a thing When there's a light out in the sky You just watch, hope you don't die The bridge was stacked With paper bags And I hope that I go straight up with the smoke I was alone and I saw the flame That spoke the truth right to my veins I believe that they won't change a thing But I gotta let them try Hold your own on the brink of death I said And I know you'll try When will we all go? When will we go home? God help this man who lives away from everything God takes his time for everyone and everything It all ends tonight for everyone and everything Start taking sides for everyone and everything It all ends tonight for everyone and everything
