Run 03:37
One coast appears one sighs with a red eye So fast you get carried away I’m a luck break The hours are miles behind So I run never caught Yes I run never stopped A roll bar between my chest and firm dash Too fast to stop the inertia created if all goes according to plan The hours are miles behind So I run never caught Yes I run never stopped Without command I’ll gladly come down from my high horse to meet you Get up, off of the ground, show me a road That lays itself a western record but somehow manages To salute the rising sun So I run never caught Yes I run never stopped

Courage 04:37
Passing through the troposphere drugged. In a canopy cruising at 30K feet back to you And it all comes down to run aways Just get on. Found a Camel in the armrest ashtray The color of your lips adorns the filter, it’s the shade I’m seeing And I’m heading for that run away Just get on. I’m packing up my courage To take a battle-ax to this disease. Turned around instead of meeting at the gate. But I’ve perfected stubbornness with a head to thick to know when I have blown it And it all comes down to run aways Just get on. I’m packing up my courage To take a battle-ax to this disease.

Run don’t stop going for anything Footprints dig in stop motion You shouldn’t have signed up when you had the chance. It’s winless You’ll be the colorful part of the scenery if you tucker out You’re alone against the ends Wired up to bleed away The ground assault stopped again Back when firefights broke out in words Side splits started forming clay into dirt You shouldn’t have signed up when you had the chance. It’s winless You’ll be the colorful part of the scenery if you tucker out You’re alone against the ends Wired up to bleed away A ground assault until the halt You’re alone against the ends Wired up to bleed away The ground assault stopped again Mine waits in six inches in seconds it’s gone Vapor hover is cumulous You shouldn’t have signed up when you had the chance. It’s winless You’ll be the colorful part of the scenery if you tucker out

I am the thought in the back of your head Keepin' it dark on the inside With whispers of old scores and men you once knew By old songs of man You were a cube in the freezer When all the alarms went off Caught in your own antecedent And can't ever get out I’ve got my eyes in the back of your head a look out Keeping watch over all that’s come and gone Seeing your old life and then feeding what’s new Seeing your old life has past You were a cube in the freezer When all the alarms went off Caught in your own antecedent And can't ever get out Don’t turn around when the feeling is there Just point your feet to the future And think of some old scores and men you once knew Think of your old scores and men You were a cube in the freezer When all the alarms went off Caught in your own antecedent And can't ever get out

Miles and highway worn I’m a last chance looking to choose You had thought we’d be together again Your cry was wasted All that’s left is an echo chamber A void when I slipped away. Try to take it back but you cant It was a last act that turned into fugue state But you had found permanent amnesia again This time tested All that’s left is your echo chamber And all you hear is yourself. At first it didn’t take A force was at work to keep you here. But that’s not what counted If I was your rock it’s cause you bled me dry You still believed we'd be together again After waking up All that’s left is an echo chamber and all you hear is yourself You had thought we would be together but what’s left Is a void when I slipped away

My wrong was infinite You were right it’s colorless and everything to me (Harmony) Is black and white How long will you let me get away with it? (Harmony) An attempted cover up I will always know (Harmony) What I have done You never see it coming And then erupts again You never see it coming The knot at the end of my rope Is already undone Oh the matter ends there’s a lull the canvas stretched All you ever wanna do (I’ll say it, why waste your breath) Oh the bitter end there’s a trip before you fall All you do is talk My guns are empty (Harm) When all the factions in a duel are drawing a blank It’s time to disarm How long will you let me get away with this An attempted cover up I will always know What I have done You never see it coming And then erupts again You never see it coming The knot at the end of my rope Is already undone You never see it coming And then erupts again You never see it coming The knot at the end of my rope Is already undone All around is a frayed cable It’s a guaranteed breakdown

Private I 03:55
Crosseyed I crossed my heart going home A new world with old world charm Put your keys down I can’t go backwards horizontally There’s a madcap mad man living inside of me Blue knows white is black You don’t see it, there’s a crack in the glass That keeps the colors in the past Now that you got this you’ve seen me solving the rubix In 3D discovery my Private I Goes downtown I’m a riot Like an unmarked man hunt I’m a riot Blue knows white is black You don’t see it, there’s a crack in the glass That keeps the colors in the past

I don’t want to give up on you But that is not an independent thought Or a line that I can just ignore I’m through the wall. And through accepting it. I don’t want to give up on it But where we go is solely up to you It’s a strobe of alternating light And shadows the echoed canopy Finish what started out as full of doubt I don’t want to start from zero sum When the both of us need another win There was once a register we kept The tally of desperate elements Finish what started out as full of doubt
9.
In the morning You’re so full of love again Did last night not happen in your mind Cause I remember it It went sideways up till you (left your pride aside) That’s when I (saw you through the mines) If you rage then you can't Be the bomb And be the bomb shelter You can’t Be the bomb And be the bomb shelter That tries to contain it Blood lust Drains from the air again If Logan were here he’d still sniff it out If you rage then you can't Be the bomb And be the bomb shelter That tries to contain it Be the bomb And be the bomb shelter That tries to contain it

Wrong place, wrong time. I never meant to string it along That one lonely night has captured you by the heart And won’t let go There’s no justice when you lose it to a jealous eye. Let’s face the shit storm approaching Then turn our backs north to port, into the wind It’s been time to run again for too long Right place, right time. I never thought you’d string me along Those were lonely nights that captured me by the heart And won’t let go There's no reward to the risk of losing to a jealous eye. The wrong man became mine. I hadn’t met you yet For three lonely years I sang to you instead. And you didn’t know When I wrote them, they came from my jealous heart Let’s face the shit storm approaching Then turn our backs north to port, into the wind It’s been time to love again for too long. We turned our backs north to port into the wind.
