Echoes
03:44

All I know | Is somehow we've lost our sense of direction. | Should we have listened close? | Nah, besides I get more satisfaction from experiencing everything. | Here in the echoes
of our own | Patterns of thinking low | We'll dissipate and hope to grow. | (Maybe we won't) | Where do we stand | On White Water Wednesdays? | With 3 dollar drafts (man, I don't have
the cash) | Nah, we'll drink these tallboys to forget these walls. | Please, I know it's not correct, respectively, I'm free and wrecked. | Here in the echoes of our own | Patterns of
thinking low | We'll dissipate and hope to grow. | Maybe we won't | They've warned you all they want it won't sink in. | And I'm still sinking in the consequences of my own choice. | I'm
dwelling on my thoughts hearing the echoes of that voice. | Here in the echoes of our own | Patterns of thinking low.

Proud Owner
02:36
|
|

No matter how I plan it out, I doubt this will pan out the way I plan it | I'm too tired to try to find out what comes next.| The fact is that I can't see past this. | So let's rearrange
each grain of sand the hour glass has. | I'm the proud owner of more than just a few dull moments of going over things like that.| You try to take a crack at it and understand, |
Taking a stab at the aftermath. | I put the forethought into every line.| So how come the outcome comes out from underneath me almost every time. | Right now I'm down from all my
doubt. | I know some way, somehow I'll break out and I don't even need to know how. | I'’m the proud owner of more than just a few dull moments of going over things like that. |
Whatever it's our fate. Whatever it's our fate. | It's not straightforward enough to coordinate each moment. | And I don't have anymore to say about it. | I'm the proud owner. I'm the
proud owner. | Take a crack at it and understand, | Taking a stab at the aftermath. | I don't have anymore to say about it.

So Left, It's Right
03:21
|
|

Home grown and I just hope that I'm well adjusted, | But my notions show no mercy. | That's just the way it is. | Where I'm from whole homes have gone away with home phones. | For
years we're told this is the way things go for you. | You don't even know which goals were yours. | Define what you're trying to find when you're on the outside looking inside. | At
least you can say you've tried. | At least you can say you've tried. | Sure, I bet you're concerned but the pressure from all of your words seem to seep right through. | My self-worth
is worse now having known you. | It seems I live to flee from negativity. | What's your curse? The worst is all you'll ever see. | I've got all these people telling me to see what they
see. | Sing what they believe. | Man, I just need one week without it. | A little space and time so I can | Define what I'm trying to find when I'm on the outside looking inside. | At
least I can say I tried. | At least I can say I tried. | Define what you're trying to find when you're on the outside looking inside. | At least you can say you've tried. | At least you
can say you've tried. | At least you can say you've tried | To find what's right.

Toll Taker

Toll Taker, it must really make your neck sore | To watch us going back and forth | When you're stuck | And everybody's going places | But you're stuck | Everybody's going. | I'm miles
away from who I was last week. | It's interesting, the shattering of this routine. | Maybe I'm saying sayonara to a sure thing. | (Are you sure?) | I'm ready for whatever may fall into
place | You'd rather be elsewhere, | But what else is out there you ask? | You're not taking a chance while you're passing on each one. | While everybody's going places | And I'm miles
away from who I was last week. | It's interesting, the shattering of this routine. | Maybe I'm saying sayonara to a sure thing. | (Are you sure?) | I'm ready for whatever may fall into
place. | Though you struggle through today | Am I safe to say | That every new day's not so far away? | I'm miles away from who I was last week. | It's interesting,, the shattering of
this routine. | Maybe I'm saying sayonara to a sure thing. | (Are you sure?) | I'm ready for whatever may fall into place. | I'm ready for whatever may fall into place.

Daydreaming
04:22
|
|
||
Sick and tired | Tired of waiting. | What can we do to kill the time until we can finally say we’re done | Looking for life in graves and cemeteries. | Jaded and making the call |
To get away from it all. | Once in a while I sit and stare at the wall and wonder. | Well I'm gonna go ahead | I've decided to run around my head, | Inside of it. | I'll touch base with
you within 2 to 4 business days. | No encounters for several hours. | Jaded and making the call | To get away from it all. | Once in a while I sit and stare at the wall and wonder. |
I'm so lost inside the farthest regions of my imagined realities and good times. | I try hard each time to find a reason to justify | Paying literally no mind. | Jaded and making the
call | To get away from it all. | Once in a while I sit and stare at the wall and wonder

Fake Confrontations
03:35
|
|
||
I try to wrap my head | Around and right down the fire escape. | I'm always scraping my brain for what to say. | Why can't I always feel the way I feel before I go to bed. | Wide
awake. | With a wide array of words filling my head | And fake confrontations playing back again. | I'll always walk away with words, unsaid. | Choked up. | It's for the better | I'm
better off if I forget words and letters | Every once in a while. | Why can't I always feel the way I feel before I go to bed. | Wide awake. | With a wide array of words filling my head | And
fake confrontations playing back again. | I'll always walk away with words, unsaid. | Can I always feel the way I feel before I go to bed. | Why can't I always feel the way I feel before
I go to bed. | Wide awake. | With a wide array of words filling my head | And fake confrontations playing back again. | I'll always walk away with words unsaid. | I'll always walk away
with words unsaid.

Always Around
03:03
|
|
||
They're always around. | I'm out on a limb here. | They carry on, and on, and I don't want to stay too long. | If I had my way, I'd wake up and run til I run out the clock. | They're always
around. | Bringing back an abundance of bottles and cans. | My roommate and his girl want their share, | Even though they don't bother or ever offer to split that rent more evenly
between me and him and his significant other. | They're always around. | I'm out on a limb here. | They carry on, and on, and I don't want to stay too long. | If I had my way I'd wake up
and run til I run out the clock. | They're always around. | I'm ready to pass out whenever I come home. | They're watching TV and I can't seem to sleep. | I try to find free time to
unwind alone. | I know I can't stay much longer now that-- | They're always around. | I'm out on a limb here. | They carry on, and on, and I don't want to stay too long. | If I had my way
I'd wake up and run til I run out the clock. | They're always around | And I could really use some distance. | Always around.. | We're too close for comfort now that it's Monday morning
again and I won't | Clean up after myself and I'm stealing your food. | Maybe it's me that needs to change (Yea right!) | But probably not though | Probably not though. | They're always
around. | I'm out on a limb here. | They carry on, and on, and I don't want to stay too long. | If I had my way I'd wake up and run til I run out the clock. | They're always around. | I
could really use some distance. | Always around.

Late Bloomer
03:45
|
|

Back in the day I didn't do much of anything | But sit inside a safe place and throw away my cares. | How dare you demonstrate a little judgement, a little hate. | I'm a little late in
the game but I've been playing catch up ever since. | How have I been expanding my horizons these days? | In a way things will all wrap up for sure. | Me and my friends, | We replace
drama with remarks about the trends | While refraining from the thought of our loose ends | But I've been playing catch up ever since. | How have I been expanding my horizons
these days? | In a way things will all wrap up this is how I choose to see it. | I may vegetate in a state of clarity. | Unfamiliarity is my therapy. | When did what I believe become
what I wish I could believe in? | How I wish I could believe it. | How have I been expanding my horizons these days? | In a way things will all wrap up for sure.

Far Away
03:09
|
|
||
This state of mind of mine | Is trying hard to intellectualize what's only temporary. | Cannot explain it away. | This feeling is too wonderful to wonder why. | I'm in the clouds today. |
But there's no raining on my parade. | All my shortcomings seem so far away. | All for the love of nostalgia. | My mind, my heart, my soul is at ease. | Even when I'm out of touch with
the things I need to do today. | Does it need to be today? | I'm in the clouds today. | But there's no raining on my parade. | All my shortcomings seem so far away, | From way up here. |
I did not mean to make a scene. | The dopamine is rising. | My brain waves may have made a place just for today. | And I would not trade it. | (I'm in the clouds today) | All my
shortcomings seem so far away. | I'm in the clouds today. | But there's no raining on my parade. | All my shortcomings seem so far away.

Queen Is For Questions
03:22
|
|

This was easier when I was young. | You think you know what's what. | I once upon a time saw black and white living with one eye shut. | My mind's been occupied. | My time's been
spent in selfish ways. | I officially will change those ways if I can change. | Do you ever take the time to wonder? | What makes you stop and think about each other? | I'm on the one
side of the wall you're on the other. | What will it take to break this down? | What will it take to break this down? | Are we puzzle pieces? | Or are we broken glass? Are we worth
putting back together again? | Do you ever take the time to wonder? | What makes you stop and think about each other? | I'm on the one side of the wall you're on the other. | What
will it take to break this down and start it over? | I'm watching my own words over my shoulder. | So why should I even bother? | How vicious is this tunnel vision and is this going
in one ear and out the other? | Do you ever take the time to wonder? | What makes you stop and think about each other? | Do you ever take the time to wonder?

Connect The Dots
03:04
|
|
||
I feel like someone's watching over me, | Pulling all the strings, | And listening to me. | This plan I'm a part of. | Tragedies and broken plans | May be building blocks from helping
hands. | I can't control the chaos. | I can't connect the dots. | I'm learning from time to time before I shrug this off. | I've waited for so long | For these photos to develop. | It was
wrong for me to write them off. | And when the spring comes | I'll have my things ready to go | But we can't grow until we've hit the ground. | Tragedies and broken plans | May be
building blocks from helping hands. | I can't control the chaos. | I cannot connect the dots. | I'm learning from time to time before I shrug this off. | It's the existence of coincidence
I'm questioning here. | I feel like someone's watching over me, | Pulling all the strings, | And listening.

New Year's Eve
05:20
|
|
||
This is gonna be | The first of many times I try to start something instead of slowing down the downtown scene | Screaming my first name, | Persuading me to stay. | This New Year's
Eve I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. | It's time I guess | To lay to rest | Times we've had. | It's not so bad. | This new year | I'll do much more than the last, | Much more
than just sit around and wait | (I don’t wanna wait) | This is gonna be | The year I start to believe I can sort through this ambivalence. | Growth or inclination to give in. | Screaming
my first name | Persuading me to stay. | Antagonized so much that I wonder why I even came. | It's time I guess | To lay to rest | Times we've had. | It's not so bad. | This new year I'll
do much more than the last, | Much more than just sit around and wait. | This is gonna be the start of many things. | This is gonna be the start of many things. | It's time I guess | To
lay to rest | Times we've had. | It's not so bad. | This new year I'll do much more than the last, | Much more than just sit around and wait...
