Just a Game 04:08
A statue stands tall down by the pool- I'll be there soon Roots curl around Armor we stole And all of those we left down below I left a little soon my back turned to home and you On my way to Lucky 7 star cavern A statue stands tall down by the pool- I spoke too soon. Toss it down the wishing well Toss it down the wishing well Toss it down the wishing well If I had a wishing well They wouldn't have told you that love was just a game I could still see the silence and know just what to say He wouldn't just ignore you, get up and walk away You would still tell me when- oh don't tell me. oh please tell me-

Never Know 04:39
On the rooftop till the dawn broke Never would have thought of this At least you didn't say to me "I am lost for good" Don't be so afraid of it Oh, don't be so afraid of it And I thought of all the reasons why this is worth the risk Oh, don't be so afraid of it And out by the lake skipping stones at night Thinking of all the ways to say "The miles are now fine to me- I am lost for good" Don't be so afraid of it Oh, don't be so afraid of it And I thought of all the reasons why this is worth the risk Oh, don't be so afraid of it

Go forth alone Go forth from home here I stand with trembling hands Go forth alone These cedar walls Paint chips and falls sand it down and paint again Go forth alone I'll never get to see you as you might have been our brightest warmest season will all be spent I'll never get to see you as you might have been but don't get so low- Go forth alone Go forth from home sand it down and paint again Go forth alone I'll never get to see you as you might have been our brightest warmest season will all be spent I'll never get to see you as you might have been I get so low Whenever I've got to look so far away I wish to god this weren't the only way I'm sure I'll feel so far behind fighting from the other side Whenever I got to look so Go forth alone.

Letting Go 02:55
I'm a little shaky from the tunes I've been humming to myself all down the line well I guess I'll have another please don't say I look thin I hope the time's been keeping you alive and well I'm a little lonely from the road sounds the trees they look like coral reefs scraping against the clouds well I've tried to hold together but my head just starts to spin this is me just letting go of it this is me just letting go of it and though I can't forget this town can't forget the years we ran around scared to let you go scared to let you know Now run- back to the restless spaces a temporary fortress on a headland and if it should fall, remember- November 5th at 10pm. This is me just letting go of it This is me just letting go of it
5.
Always used to come here in springtime looked like you'd never believe Now ashes to ashes, that lonely old foe holds you closer than time She said- I don't know what's got you this way Was it that empty road, oh what did you see Glancing up, I heard them howling Can't be too soon Wind up staggered through obsidian hills by the tombs And I can't stand every sunless face I endure as your eyes become clock hands, twist, and you're gone She said- I don't know what's got you this way Was it that empty road, oh what did you see What we lost, we'll never regain We weathered so many long nights Just waiting for day you'll say I'm awake- lost and unafraid you'll say I'm awake- lost and gone lost and gone
6.
The Escapist 03:46
Dont' tell them our disease Might mend without a seam Scraps of paper covered up The war is make believe All the signs now silent, back to sleep come tomorrow I'll be free Businessmen and cartoon tricks The war is make believe Oh breathe Just breathe in the air the city sleeps at our feet tonight The war is make believe With a deal lost, and the enemy on its way Oh but it might mend without a seam
7.
Half past noon Corner of waterloo I will run into you je ne sais pa por quois to this subtle rush I can say "soon enough" see you at fourth and mark outside the smoke and low the broken string corrupted all the chords we heard the song as ne'er before Half past two grinning from something new pilots with poison darts outside the smoke and low in the stop and start beat of insurgent hearts guarding the careful spark beyond the smoke and low and despite the racket oh let it ring that long forgotten song damn the odds and run the gauntlet far past all decay or be another story someone tells and despite the racket oh let it ring that long forgotten song
8.
So Long 03:53
Who knows where I'll be when this is through But darlin, I hope that I'll be with you Oh, and I get so tired Like I never did by those eastern mountains I am just an ordinary man who did what I could What more could I do? Oh, I was on fire down endless roads locking eyes with strangers They were all just ordinary And we did what we could The secret light we kept so careful Spread it where we could What more could we do? Like so many times before I'm walking out that open door So long Though I've done all I can do I cannot say I won't miss you but So long I'm just scared I won't get through They'll say so cold- "I think he knew" But for the first time in my life I'm coming home
9.
They'll never stop at nothing Till we're at the end Wake up. Turn out. Fall in. Blessed are the nameless Us ordinary souls Will all pass through unchecked. Rewind the machinations with a steady, simple hold. Unbreak. Grow old. And if we tear it down they'll just Just build it up again Someday when we tear it down, we'll build Build a different end Scatter all the seeds The shit they spread will only make the harvest more complete And if we tear it down they'll just Just build it up again Someday when we tear it down, we'll build Build a different end The spider's in the cradle and he's ready to strike It's already happened, but might be alright And as our fever breaks we'll change our skin for bark Oh don't you worry sir It won't get too dark -too dark too soon. Our roots will spread and crack the pavement oh- Scatter all the seeds. Smile and wait for spring.

Gone Away 02:51
oh and I can't shake those younger days when we all sang with one voice and one voice led the way gone away gone away what becomes of me and you and though it's been years now since i talked to you used to feel you by my side in all i'd do though confusion in the words so much I still miss it quite enough but what do I miss there if it was true gone away gone away what becomes of me and you
11.
Remember our yard and the light the snow still falling staring up at the sky and you were inside looking out from your room Held back tears and the pride from so many years now I'm gone each moment passed I'll begin (?) (andy??) And I'll light a candle for you as you light one for me All the stars in the night our back on the lawn I was too little to climb down the hill, you took my hand And I'll light a candle for you As I walk along this empty cold road blinded by the sleet and snow I wonder if I'll ever go home back to what I used to know
