no, i never had a conversation of how life is supposed to be its all trials and tribulations and i let it get the best of me mother / mother, i take your wisdom set out upon an open sea no matter how long i stay and listen will it be enough to set me free? no, i never had a conversation of what makes up the great unknown its all fear and speculation lets leave that thought alone mother / mother, i take your wisdom set out upon an open sea this time ill stay and listen let it be enough to set me free

On the Mend 02:54
lay upon me all your fears / twenty-seven years yesterday you had a choice / today you lost your voice now you find yourself alone and waiting with an unlit cigarette you light the paper but you cant stand inhaling another young regret you dont feel better yet shadows dancing on the wall you thought theres no one left at all but im right here by your side youll make it out alive lay upon me all your fears / forty-seven years yesterday was on the mend / today will never end now you find yourself alone and waiting with an unlit cigarette you light the paper but you cant stand exhaling another old regret and you dont feel better yet
3.
how many times do i have to repeat what id do for you and you say youd do for me? well i dont know / i dont know how many times do i have to leave town before you pick me up just to say i let you down well i down know / i dont know if i dont stay / we both will be fine its better off this way / just dont hit rewind we found each other once / can we leave it all behind? how many times do i...? how many times will i walk out that door to say ive had enough and i dont need you anymore? well i dont know / i dont know how many times will i play your game before you disappear and im the only one to blame? well i dont know / i dont know
4.
you call me over on the phone / and then you lock the door theres no getting in tonight / ive been here once before separation is a drug / it leaves you feeling new but im going through withdrawal / i dont know what to do the bedroom light / the one i need the most ill stay outside and / make friends with the ghost self-delusion never fails / i use it all the time i didnt come to patch things up / i just came for the drive the dawn comes with the day / waiting for a sign i get back on the road / and leave it all behind the bedroom light / the one youll need the most you come outside and / make friends with the ghost
5.
i wonder what youre looking for up in the sky the light is fading / the day is passing by strike (thunder) / to you its all the same i take you inside before it starts to rain i think all about the day ill disappear the earth will move on like i was never here (and im) disillusioned but its all up in my head you get confused by the things i never said i wonder why im finding you outside again thought you were sleeping but that was just pretend strike (thunder) / now youre soaked to the bone you dont have to tell me that you want to be alone got no reply / i guess im gonna stay but these thoughts will never go away (and im) disillusioned but its all up in my head you get confused by the things i never said
6.
say your last goodbye / the rest have gone away i wont be surprised / if you miss that train cause you were the first one to settle down buried deep in the heart of the underground keeping watch for the morning light your mother tells you itll be alright eternal night you wonder how it went wrong and how this came to be how did you stay blind when the rest could plainly see that the evidence was all around but you chose to remain underground keeping watch for the morning light your father tells you itll be alright eternal night theres still time to change you heard that once in school but you cut class the day when they said thats not a universal rule so you settled down i guess theres no escape from the underground keeping watch for the morning light you tell yourself itll be alright eternal night
7.
Gunshot 02:42
i heard the gunshot through the bathroom wall ran next door to see the change i couldnt find no one / a row of empty stalls i tell you now its all the same its all the same i got my fortune before the meal was done the gift came wrapped in cellophane it said "youre never gonna make it far past twenty-one" i tell you now its all the same its all the same come lay you head beside and disappear how i long to waste the day the gunshot through the wall reminds me youre not here i tell you now its all the same its all the same

No Words 02:36
no. words.
9.
To Start 03:48
mom came in the morning / helped you pack your bags she came without a warning / jet lagged she hardly made it up the stairs / her knees are on the go dont need to see to believe / she told me so if not now, when? is how its always been its on you to start anew again dad came in the evening / helped you load the car looks can be deceiving / he couldnt walk that far so you walk those stairs alone for the last time mom was nowhere to be found / she didnt say goodbye roll your window down / see the night sky youll wake up with pneumonia / but you wont die look over to your dad / sitting at the wheel you dont have to say a word / he knows how you feel
10.
i cant believe how all the lines get drawn i cant believe how everyone moves on i cant believe in all the news today i cant believe we let it stay that way but i cant make believe all the time no, i cant make believe all the time i cant believe the citys all closed down (oh, what a pity) we can all sleep now i cant believe in all the news today i cant believe we let it stay that way but i cant make believe all the time no, i cant make believe all the time i cant believe how fast im getting old i cant believe i still do everything im told i cant believe in all the news today i cant believe i let it stay that way
