Keeping Track of Numbers
03:49
|

Guess I could celebrate
But it’s gone yeah it’s gone
They say it’s never too late
Now another wave is coming on
Record store man, make me feel like I truly belong
Songs are like the secret key that unlocks me all along
Truer than friends
By my side whatever
All I see is years go by without a trace
Let it slide on me at last
No keeping track of numbers
Though it’s hard to think that I have ever really been there
Kids are scary cause they don’t know about truth and what’s beyond
I trust myself like I trust no one, I can wait but not for long
Guess I could celebrate
But it’s gone yeah it’s gone
They say it’s never too late
Now another wave is coming on
Truer than friends
By my side whatever
All I see is years go by without a trace
Let it slide on me at last
No keeping track of numbers
Though it’s hard to think that I have ever really been there
Play
Again
For sadness
Truer than friends
By my side whatever
All I see is years go by without a trace
Let it slide on me at last
No keeping track of numbers
Though it’s hard to think that I have ever really been there
Play

For sadness

Tantalizing Youth
04:12
|

The day something good happens
Won’t be cause of you
You’re always at a crossroads
No one telling you what to do
I keep hoping and I ain’t stopping anytime soon
I know people are hopeless
Especially if you think it’s true
Vent it out
I don’t know what you got
You blurt out the truth
From a tantalizing youth
By the time we get started nothing will be new
Starting over and over, never realizing it’s the same old tune
I keep hoping and I ain’t stopping anytime soon
People will always seem hopeless
Especially if you think it’s true
Vent it out
I don’t know what you got
You blurt out the truth
From a tantalizing youth
A million voices are yelling at you
I can’t hear a thing
And sitting on my couch I’m always quite sure
I can see everything
A million voices are yelling at you
I can’t hear a thing
And sitting on my couch I’m always quite sure
I can see everything
Vent it out
I don’t know what you got
You blurt out the truth
From a tantalizing youth

Wire in my Soul
03:11
|
|||
Could we lift this curse?
Knock out the spiraling down
It’s been so long
No hope is wrong
Can we make this worse?
There is always room enough for more
More aggravation
More twisted thinking
Paving the way
A month that feels like a year
Piling up crises like pancakes
Going under
After fiasco
I’ll give you aggravation
It’s all along the way
Failure will show you the way
And we look for traces of light
They won’t give up without a fight
No one knew, no
We’re owing so much more
I’ve got a wire in my soul
Runs to all I’ve known before
All these inside wars
They won’t ever show

Strip
03:52
|
|||
See this plain, so wide
It’s just empty all around
I don’t have no team, and never have
It’s just one word I don’t understand
Strip it bare
All that’s left is this
Though we once said
We would
How crazy this was
To hope that
There’s an us
Just so improbable, I know that
With all the time in the world, still waiting
Strip it bare
All that’s left is this
Though we once said
We would
All these words that
I wanted to hear
Discarded
All left out

Shrinking Slab
05:08
|
|||
I can see the tip of the iceberg
In the distant past
Like the shadow of survival
No matter how hard these facts hit
Stay at it
Time is an ally if you’ve got it
This slab is shrinking but we cling to it
Your arm grows weak but somehow
Fools keep at it
This slab is shrinking but we cling to it
Just a little more that we can stretch out longer
And if you can breathe, you deserve it
Time to put in the work
Not sure what can still be affordable
And if you’re looking to feed your kids
Line right up
All that’s left by now is scarcity
Did you bet on death?
We got a winner
It takes a fool to regret
And this race of fools we’ll win it just yet
It’s a sad credit
Always found that it was a big world
Yeah we know there’s always still time
Our mistakes can drown in the ocean
Till the day they bite back hard
And it takes someone to wonder
Has this gone far enough?
Are you witness or accessory?
Well if you’re looking to feed your kids
Please line up
All that’s left by now is scarcity
Innocent
No matter now
And who would?
Oh I don’t know
Oh I don’t know
This slab is shrinking but we cling to it
Your arm grows weak but somehow
Fools keep at it
This slab is shrinking but we cling to it
Just a little more that we can stretch out longer
Did you bet on death?
We got a winner
It takes a fool to regret
And this race of fools we’ll win it just yet
It’s a sad credit
Always found that it was a big world
Yeah we know there’s always still time
Our mistakes can drown in the ocean
Till the day they bite back hard

Fairness in the System
04:54
|
|||
I got a feeling
Someone will get hurt
There’s fairness in the system
If you can only make it work
See it’s like this
I want to see you try
I want to see you settle
I want to see these strings cut
And the curtain tumble down
If you want to know
A word, sir
If we dare to trouble you
We’re dying out here
Can you help us out
It’s not a matter of trying
How much can your head hurt?
Think now and overturn later
A crack is all you need to start it all
Dig in your fingers and push
What are the chances?
Keep staring at the floor
It’s there for you
Tired of rants
Your hand is on the door
Opening
Walk into the light
A word, sir…
What are the chances?…
Waiting for an answer
Waiting on the world
It’s only what you heard
It’s only what
You’re waiting for an answer
You’re waiting on the world
But it’s only what you heard
It’s always only what

Shortcuts
02:33
|
|||
It’s no one’s fault if I fall
And I just wanted to thank you all
Standing here makes me look tall
I’d have you on but you’re just too small
These shortcuts are all that you know
And they took you right down the road
These shortcuts yeah you like to follow
As long as you’re not the one left in the cold
It’s an irreversible law
Either these points are connected or they’re not
Who would’ve thought that you’d go so far
And I’m glad you didn’t have to wait a lot
Cause these shortcuts are all that you know
And they took you right down the road
These shortcuts yeah you like to follow
As long as you’re not the one left in the cold

My Reflection
04:09
|
|||
Yeah they will all teach about right and wrong
That when you act good it’s not for now, it’s for later
Whatever you think you understand, not good enough
So surrender now for the common good
We’ve been here before, you can just let go
You’re bound to be wrong if you ache for more, all you need is right here
So come and get what you’re searching for, I tell you it’s been here all along
If you rock the boat all you’ll do is drown
And to the sky I can turn my gaze
And I can see my reflection up there
While the world’s dead set on going ablaze
I keep searching for my reflection up there
And if it’s weakness that I have to fear
I am certain there is something else here
Your disputes will drown in the sands of time
Cause I can see my reflection is mine

The Way I See It
04:28
|
|||
Welling up while the branches do their swaying
Layers add up till the pile comes crumbling
This day is all there is
Filing through, the memories are what’s happening
End in sight with no doubt that it’s coming
Now who d’you spend it with?
Cause this day is all there is
It’s alright
I can hold on
It’s alright yeah
Silent forces always turn out stronger
Don’t wake up they’ll show you who’s the master
Well this day is all there is
And I gave it what I received
Death is pure and simple
The way I see it
The way I see myself
I go on believing less and less until there’s nothing
The way I see it
No more lies beyond this now
Filing through, only memories are what’s happening
End in sight with no doubt that it’s coming
Now who d’you spend it with?
Cause this day is all there is
It’s alright
I can hold on
It’s alright yeah
Death is pure and simple
The way I see it
The way I see myself
I go on believing less and less until there’s nothing
The way I see it
No more lies beyond this now
My life laid out on the table
What did I want from it?
What does it say about myself
I can ask if this is right or not and why I’d do it
At times I can see it
It takes no time to choose to quit

The Scary Part
05:53
|
|||
Why don’t you see if I care
I get that fear leads nowhere
But slipping back
Shed it all now
Turning around into circles
Moving ahead for sure
At long last, could happen
People gather around
There’s hope in the strength that you found
And it’s turning out
Shed it all now
Turning around into circles
Moving ahead for sure now
At long last, could happen
Save it for later, always
Change is the scary part
The wisdom of others, it’s everywhere
Do what’s right, say what’s right, will take you there
And of course it’s real
Shed it all now
Turning around into circles
Moving ahead for sure now
At long last, could happen
Change is the scary part

Or so / I figure
From what / I’ve seen by now
This whistle
Blows silent noise
And it just won’t ever get heard
Are you / In here with me?
These feelings don’t break down
They build up
We got it together though we’re alone
Like hills on an island you can ignore
I thought it would matter so I kept on
Was it wrong?
It’s all true, so yeah pile it on
Two birds / Yeah one stone
A second chance / If it comes along
Now I said it once and I can say it once more
All hope is lost
And then you find more
Disappointments never wore
Cause sooner or later they just lock the door
What you want isn’t what matters at all
The stakes are high and this is nothing but small
So now you can pile it on
And hear the silence call
I used to be one of you

Won’t I try this again
I just don’t see what else
It’s so unfair my friends
If only to avoid a mess
Now or never
Didn’t work this time around
I once saw things straight
There’s no use in things to regret
Options seem to uncheck themselves
Feeling weary won’t solve this yet
I could stop right here
There’s nobody standing in the way
I can’t even work up the sadness
Too crushed by the slowing down
Does it matter if I’ve ever been here?
It’s hardly the first time around
Wide eyes a thing of the past
I thought that they would never rest
Slowly leaving it all behind
I know what’s my second guess
Yeah I could stop right here
Cause there’s nobody standing in the way
Well so long, farewell
It’s supposed to end
Was this part of the plan?
Is not my concern
That’s right things just aren’t what they used to
I carry this weight through the years all along
I know what this says about chances
Naming something will make it real
I can’t even work up the sadness
Too crushed by the slowing down
Does it matter if I’ve ever been here?
It’s hardly the first time around

Taking the road all the way and then some more
Old tricks they get older still
Whatever you’ve been told yeah it ends right here
Too much is enough sometimes
When it’s time for goodbyes I’ll be so far gone
I don’t get what you get from staying
I’m so tired it’s a wonder I ain’t paralyzed
But hell I’m ready for whatever’s in store
Every time they will sacrifice it all
I’m taking it in my stride
When there’s no silver lining you just go with the grey
It’s all too much but I march right on
I want to know what sits at the core
I want to know what sits at the core
And when you see what you see you’ll know
Cause it’s right there at the core
The others say things have run their course
The others say things have run their course
And that when you see what you see you’ll know
Yeah things have run their course
