Lucked Out 04:38
LUCKED OUT Sirens are burning the snowbanks outside I open the window and ask for a ride The song gets inside drills a hole through the wall And my voice is so muffled you can’t hear it at all I’m hung up on the now ‘cuz my future’s too bleak So I’ll sit here and wait ‘til it’s my turn to speak I step over trash every day of the year ‘Cuz tomorrow I know it’ll all disappear Waiting to hear you confirm what I thought Just an airborne disaster waiting to be caught I collapse in a plume, make a hole in the ground But I’ll get the most credit for just hanging around Yeah, and I know you got it figured out But I’m not the one who lucked out And I know you wanna help me out But I’m just about lucked out now

DON'T WANNA KNOW Baby says you wanna go Cuz you seen it on the video But I don’t think I wanna know I used to be such a simple man Had a thought concerning where you’ve been And if you never wanna be my friend again How can we stay innocent? I can feel you waiting for some perfect time As if the thought had never crossed my mind You know I’ll try and act so surprised But I’m not blind to your apathy Our shift is subtle but it’s plain to see And soon you’ll disconnect yourself from me Baby says I oughta go You know it’s better not to let it show And I don’t think you wanna know

Miscreant 04:08
MISCREANT Miscreant find your faith Hear your words Know your place You don't need a key to unlock this heaven price I don't need to sing any more than I've sung You don't need a door anymore now that you know it's done Miscreant find your way Fix the past Here to stay You don't need a sword to fight off this barrier I don't need to shield any kind of assault You don't need a teacher to see how the battle is fought And every day makes us different Of that you can be sure I've changed

Tired Of Me 04:09
TIRED OF ME I'm so tired of me You're so tired of me, too
5.
Forget It 04:00
FORGET IT I have become so disconnected From what I used to think mattered I’m not a ghost But you can see through me I’m completely transparent It’s funny cuz it’s true And the joke is my attempts To make a connection with you Wait, I think I had something to say Better just forget I said anything The first time I caught my reflection I jumped right out of my skin Your politics You’ve rigged the system So there’s no way you can win No, this is something different

IN A WELL-LIT ROOM It’s the scariest thing When you turn off In a well-lit room I see every detail As clear as daylight every night Eyesight Did I fall asleep again? Can you find me? An anchor attached to you Just hold on I promise I won’t ever let you go I know where you need to go Take me, tell me where you are I’ll find you No matter where you are It’s not far

I'm a Wreck 04:51
I'M A WRECK Not to be outdone I crawled to you Turned away and wishing that I knew you Wrote a mess of songs, secrets for you Not sure what I thought that was supposed to do Now I’m on square one, well that’s something Can’t say I did not see this coming Something in me tried to avoid you Now I spend my time thinking how to get through to you Now I’m a wreck But if you try me later I’ll erase just like magic Any trace of my sadness These fast-healing scars they never show Memories fade they just don’t know What do you think of me right now? Would you be honest? Don’t know how Not right now
8.
BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS Losing our sense of taste I'm walking alone to my place tonight But this was a worthwhile waste of time I don't mind The asphalt still shields the ground Whenever I make a sound, it shows And you can bet everyone around here knows by now Are we okay? Comfortable I've sung about the night before The comfort it keeps in store for me Walking and looking for some harmony But night doesn't know your name It listens but never says a thing Removed and observing all your wandering I'm not in a place where I can handle change just yet We'll talk about this later if we don't manage to forget I was walking outside Between the buildings black I was somewhere else for once Now I can't go back
9.
TAKE ME OFF THE SHELF I can see the sunset through the peephole Burning necklace shines the street I can see the cold The smoke begins to fold around itself Take me off the shelf Dust me off Let me be your sunshine leather raincoat Take me from the top Let me out I can be your number two Your yellow red and blue I can see the shadows in the window Dusty fingers find my door Help me read the signs The cracks between the lines in my hands I won’t be afraid Thought you had it made Baby it’s alright Don’t you know that everybody lies to me?
10.
Moon Day 06:14
MOON DAY The sun fits the needle through the stack of hay I never figured out what you were trying to say But that’s okay because Moon Day’s on its way All I had was a pillow on a feather bed You left cuz there was nowhere you could rest your head But that’s okay because Moon Day’s on its way Come get me I’m ready But if you don’t want me it’s easy to see It’s not hard to get rid of me The stars make a challenge that I can’t quite match The wind makes a whisper that I can’t quite catch But that’s okay because Moon Day’s on its way The closet’s got boxes and a stack of sheets My dresser’s in shambles and my clothes in heaps But that’s okay because Moon Day’s on its way The shadow makes the image of a butterfly The smoke in the branches and the cranes in the sky But it’s okay because Moon Day’s on its way
