The Only One 02:25
lyrics
buy track
You're the only one I had to be there for There's an absence and a spark that I just can not ignore You're the only one You're the only one that ever loved, really loved me that ever loved, really loved me It's all the same, but it's not the same at all I wonder where you are I wonder where you'll go... You're the only one...

I've Been Hit 03:20
lyrics
buy track
I've Been Hit Runnin around with this fear all over my face. hitting the ground... I can't seem to maintain my space. falling all around stumbling through this crumblin' town walkin' to the sounds that I know is not just for them it's not just for them. I have been hit, oh breathe in... playing pound for pound hittin' my mark only to come down all the street's shit brown and I can't seem to pick up my face. the tears of a clown call out for all but don't make a sound. and when I come around to what I know is not just for them it's not just for them... I have been hit, breathe in...

Love is... 02:36
lyrics
buy track
Love is... Love is the cruelest thing I've ever seen it hurts deeper than anything oh why, do I die? when I can live all alone in a place truly unknown It's hard to see that it's all me when something's got to change Lord I don't want to die to feel. But I am not alive, I need to heal Caught in between fascination with the chaos queen and the love of love being something new to come by oh why do I die? When I have me, I am free But oh to become so undone Oh don't you know it's a crime what you've done to me this time I don't want to die to feel. But I am not alive, I need to heal I have feared to much... (that's why she had to go) And I, I feel too much... (you talk too slow) And I fear too much... (so now we'll never know) I don't want to die to feel. But I am not alive, I need to heal

Oh My God 03:41
lyrics
buy track
Oh My God! Yesterday, when I woke up in between all had seemed rearranged to be drained And that's the day that I broke just like the yoke from between all the seems that had changed I was like oh-oh... Tired of these dreams that keep chasing after me and I'm tired of the things that I think that I should be tired of places I think I should see And I'm tired of history Oh my God! All my life's in harmony you'll wonder how much further will it be till your existence comes to rest then that's the time that we'll all sense these ways are wired, my wheels they're tired please pull them off when it gets tough enogh to grab at stuff... to steal Oh my God! Who's callin? Oh my God! Here we go again Oh my God! I'm falling Oh my God! Will it ever end? lyrics by Gary Levitt and Sam Omeechevarria

There we go Again 02:48
lyrics
buy track
There we go again there she goes again right into another man she just can't seem to stand standing on her own, all alone even though she knows that we're always alone. You turned out your plan just like you did with every other. we went in and out, I fell through, you hung on to someone you know you know that we're always alone so I rescind on my sweetness, now that I see how you used it I rescind on my sweetness, know that I see we lose yea you made it easy to hate you. Thanks for making it easy to hate you it wasn't enough to know I was still there

No Withstanding 02:40
lyrics
buy track
No Withstanding day after day, they fade in between and right through to tomorrow yea what a scheme and all the while, we rant and rave and run and live for a while, please help us get on and then let us know... please, no withstanding the things I don't want to see seem to always come back to me I tied up their line traces seeing warning signs through the trees where I left a part of me please, no withstanding don't you fight it's not worth the cost of it I've seen it's marks and they fit so right

In a Lifetime 02:49
lyrics
buy track
In a Lifetime Its been running out a little late, and it's gone in a lifetime. you been speaking up too little too late now it's done in your time, disintegrate. It's a fault of the earth, a spit in the sea, a desert lifetime It's fleetingness, it seem to be a rather thin line. As I wait for my birth expecting to see a sign of life inside this dream. It's all I know, and the ever after calls, ever after calls. Watch where you're walkin when it's cold and dark on the inside. These dreams are haunted I'm under a spell I cannot seem to ride. Won't you join me in my shell i think I'm gonna stay here I think I'm gonna stay

Past the Point of Why 02:58
lyrics
buy track
Past the point Damn these devils demons got what's best of me. I've been down with four dead flowers and a woman with no mercy Let me out of your playground, this dance is on fire. Our dance has turned to ash with no vision to aspire I reep the benefits, I've reeped some benefits You're love was something, our love was something too If there's a way that I can break this I would smash it to be set free we learned to make it, lived to take it, soaked ourselves got satiated Oh it hurts to hear you say it... "I've reeped the benefits, I've reeped some benefits Your love was something, our love was something too." Now I've passed the line tonight. I've passed the point of why Wherever reason lies or hides.

It's Light 03:50
lyrics
buy track
it's light you have no self respect, you just drown yourself in check doesn't it always seem a wreck when you cme around now you know anything can go you know the rules to this, when we swing sometimes we miss isn't there always such a twist when it goes down now you know anything can go oh it's light to see it all I'll just sit tight in awe you caught the speedy glance, now we wait for circumstance button down and not so fast, see you blow away now you know anything can go see i'm lying in this mess, all alone not loneliness while the night is in suspense waiting for the day and the day it will surely come just as i am a setting sun with light to see it all I'll just sit tight in awe and it's just another moment in time for you and me, and it's just another moment in time to be.

Holy Days 03:11
lyrics
buy track
When a whisper has turned to a shout Maybe this time it's a good word If words could only say the way it plays The meanings that we've made out of fear 'cause we're afraid Lord I need a holy day All we have is time, but all the while The serene scene can change into a shit pile And birds will gather 'round and let off their sighs to see the shit we've made and all the money that was saved Lord I need a holy day Until I saw your face on a cigar The dream was out of place, but there you are Shining like the brightest beautiful star that you are, that you are That you wanted to be Oh Lord you make me see this holy day After all the time has come and gone Guitar strings and I sing a song gone wrong All those papers that hit the ground just don't blow away It's the waste that we make and all the hours that it takes Makes me need for a holy day

Fell off the Beaten Path 04:28
lyrics
buy track
You fell off the beaten path Or did you just get beaten off the path Traveling in circles through the days that you knew it was over So you dressed it in blue...you It's always one or the other And one you may choose Can't distinguish one another, standing in your worn shoes But the walls of your apartment stand for you and just you To sleep the nightime through You're such a stranger When you stand on the other side Flirting with the stranger I want to see what you want to hide You're getting to be so fast Making things move too quickly in the past There's more for the taking than you'll ever know You shake your head, but you know that it's so Oh when four in the morning comes and there's nowhere to fall There is no one to call so you just build a home To be with the stranger There I am on the other side Flirting with the stranger I want to see what you want to hide
