Eminence
03:43
|

Eminence, when you think that you're ahead of it
And you needed more than you could get
There's a breakdown of the sentiment
And you feel you've had enough
Get out of the way, get out of your own way
Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of your own way
Reverence, to the ones who make your life a mess
As you give up your inheritance
There's a shakedown on the precipice
Point the finger, pass the buck
Get out of the way, get out of your own way
Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of your own way
Eminence

Playing By The Rules
02:53
|

Well I’ve been playing by the rules, and I just can’t get out of bed
I’ve been saying more than you, but I don’t have any more left
Yeah I'm a sucker and a fool and I'm in way over my head
I’m on a different point of view, but I’m just so out of my depth
And I go...
Well I can play it kinda cool but I'm just like anyone else
And I'm ok to play the fool If you don't think anything less
I’ve been deflated through and through but I can't have any regrets
Well I've been playing by the rules, but I don’t know who’s keeping check
So I say....

Almost A Stranger
03:16
|
|||
Is it alright to be myself again
Can I finally be myself again
I don’t need a reason to find
I'm beginning to feel myself again
I’m leaving the memory behind
So I can finally be myself again, auf wiedersehen, I’ll see you there some better day
Cards on the table vanity off to the side
Always been able to get myself back to a stride
Time’s an eraser and reverie speaks for itself
Sign your own waiver and you’ll never be somebody else
You’ll never be somebody else
Is it alright to be myself again
Can I finally be myself again
I don’t need a reason to find
I'm beginning to feel myself again
I’m leaving the memory behind
So I can finally be myself again, auf wiedersehen, I’ll see you there some better day
Almost a stranger and even to those that I know
I'm the remainder of memories thrown to the cold
Life is too painful when honesty comes at a price
And lies aren’t fatal unless they're the four letter kind
Unless they're the four letter kind

Jumped The Gun
02:45
|
|||
Someone jumped the gun
Someone knew it all along
Someone jumped the gun
Someone really fucked it up
Yeah, what a shame, gotta pay the petty tax
Yeah, just the same, you know you've really gotta laugh
Someone jumped the gun
Some things better left undone
Someone jumped the gun
Someone ruined all the fun
Yeah, who's to say, you never really could get back
Yeah, gotta break, I don't know, maybe I'll be back
Someone jumped the gun

Traces
03:07
|
|||
Really no time, living on borrowed time
Not until they see what you've been through
Never looked back, never went back
Such a waste of life, but who allowed you, unwound you, threw you to the ground
That now you'd choose to put them down
(They’ll know who you are)
Never got time, never was given time
(Why’d you go so far)
This is what becomes of those who break
(They’ll know who you are)
Never know why, never know peace of mind
(Why’d you go so far)
Traces of the ones you left around you, rounds used, lives you’ve run aground
The classroom, those who should be out of bounds
Confused, deep wounds, can they heal somehow
Our minds are broken and beat down
(They’ll know who you are)
Nothing set right, everyone choose a side
(Why’d you go so far)
The advertising's free, and since they found you, crowned you, said your name aloud
Profound fools will want the same thing now
(Lives you’ve run aground)
(Should be out of bounds)
(Can they heal somehow)
(Lives you’ve run aground)

Saturnine
03:40
|
|||
How many days has it been now, hard to tell
The sand it stings and beats my brow, beats me down
The cool night wind betrays a sound, just a sound
Oh stars above don't leave me now, how about now
I hear you, I hear the sound
I see you, I see the ground
I'm falling, I won't go down
I'm leaving
The fire's cold
The days are slow
The final crumb
The setting sun
My visions blur the here and now, to be found
My final days, my first few sounds, here and now
My father, my fallow ground
The reasons, my mother found
I'm sorry, but not right now
I'm leaving
An only son
The fire's gone
What's done is done
The setting sun

Keep It Together
03:42
|
|||
It's time to be extra cautious
A sigh of relief, but don't get thoughtless
I'm getting old and you'll be older too
It’s time to see what you’ve created,
Resigned to be, nauseated
Sit back for the show, they wanted the real you
It used to be less complicated
When you’re talking to me, is it real or traded
And now I suppose you’ll be going too
Keep it together
Gotta keep it together

Forgetter
02:53
|
|||
The sun is up but the sky is gray
The birds are flying away
They'll pick you up, they'll pull you away
They'll give you more than they take
When it's too tough
The time is up
Forgetter
Forgetter
Forget, it’ll make you feel better
The same old stuff on the same old day
The light that keeps you awake
And there's no doubt that your troubles will stay
If you don't turn them away
They'll turn you on
They'll turn you down
Forgetter
Forgetter
Forget, it’ll make you feel better
It's all so small
From far enough
The siren's call
Forgetter
Forgetter
Forget, it’ll make you feel better
How would I find myself

The Sound You Make
03:48
|
|||
Inside you there's a sound that you could make
The right tune can clear a rainy day
It finds you like a dog that lost its way
Reminds you of the one that got away
It's time to look at what we celebrate
The trite fools who would throw it all away
The ones who give some meaning to their pain
Remind you everything will be ok
Thinking about the rain
I’ve been thinking about the rain
The time you give to something you can't fake
Defines you and the feelings you relate
It grounds you to a world that you create
Without you, everything's a bit more gray
I’ve been thinking about the rain
I’ve been thinking about the rain
Without you there's a price that we all pay
The sound you
You make

As Long As I Can Dream
04:21
|
|||
In the morning air
At the window, yeah
In the morning
At the window
These dreams, like a scene from your old life
Through a cold and distant light
There's a place, but there's no time
These dreams, take apart your shallow mind
In a way you can't define
Like a bullet from the sky
I know, I know you can never get it back
So don't be late and take another crack
I won't complain as long as I can dream
These dreams, when you live a double life
And the stakes are just too high
Grenadine and shepherd's pie
These dreams, they can really change your life
Are you ready for the dive
Through the shallows and the cries
Of those who chose to put it on their back
The highs, the lows that make so many crack
And so it goes, as long as I can dream
As long as I can dream
