Weapon 03:07
Sound as a weapon Assaulting my ears Newspapers printing The headlines they want us to hear You have got to be kidding Is this what you call living? You have got to be kidding Crash and I'm running Head first out of here Sound of your laughing Is always so severe You have got to be kidding Is this what you call living? You have got to be kidding Take this sweet nothing And get it out of here Cause sound is a weapon One I've come to fear You have got to be kidding Is this what you call living? You have got to be kidding

Move On 03:40
We're gonna bury all of our dead and build a city all around We'll put a stone upon their head and fake flowers on the ground In a month or two we'll forget and move on but you won't And we'll learn from our regrets and move on but you won't And we see each other on the street and talk like we're old friends You don't look so we'll, I'm relieved and I know you're wrong again In a month or two we'll forget and move on but you won't And we'll learn from our regrets and move on but you won't

Big Cloud 03:31
My words slipped into your mouth Open wide and spit it out Nothing left to take Not one for talking anyway Finally found the cliche Lost in a poem and tear the page Left it out in the rain Followed me home four blocks I was alone I was thrown from the horse to the ground Heard the tone of broken bones the sound of breaking down Change my name and back again The letters rearranged In a cage from the modern age Afraid to change Fall down laughing again Open it up and let it in Staring out from the clouds Breathing it in and let in out Washed away in the rain Climbing up a golden chain Shaking hands with the best But it feels like all the rest I was alone I was thrown from the horse to the ground Heard the tone of broken bones the sound of breaking down Change my name and back again The letters rearranged In a cage from the modern age Afraid to change

Idler 03:34
You've got nothing important to say But I'm pretty bored so I guess I listen anyway But don't you expect me to change Cause I'm not in the mood but I bet that was your whole plan You can not expect me to be afraid We all have to live we've the choice we've made I've got nothing planned for today But sit around and talk about what keeps me awake So I'm waiting around in this place For a chance to hear something new and to laugh at your mistakes If all these stones could talk for you

Fire 03:47
When I was young everything was so different Now I reminisce Nothing wrong, I would play with all the neighborhood children Everyone would come outside Now they all just run and hide Now everyone's on fire Summer days, wish they all would come back again Clear away the rain I'm so old, old and boring and I'm afraid I'm gonna waste away Single file in checkout lines Everything's a waste of time And then they open fire Traffic signs telling us when we should stop and go Going fast or slow Paralyzed by a fear that we will never know Mama told us so Everyone would come outside Now everyone just runs and hides Now everyone's on fire Everyone just go outside Find another waste of time Now everyone's on fire

Aerosol can for your shotgun wedding Sticking with the plan but you keep forgetting Man overboard either sink or swim Doesn't mean a thing to either her or him I don't write songs I don't write songs about you Straighten everything but it don't get neater Like the magazines just a little bit cheaper Breaking all the strings trying to keep it in time Waiting in the wings and I'm losing my mind I don't write songs I don't write songs about you Cover my eyes Lights and camera Covert disguise Can't hide who you are Paper thin lies Start to fall apart Cover my eyes Keep the limousine for your sons and daughters Drop it in the sea and you just add water Saw it on TV yeah the shopping channel Feed the family underneath the table I don't write songs I don't write songs about you Knocking on the door, blowing in the wind Underneath the floor with the rest of your sins Fire underfoot but I keep on running Making believe, turning something into nothing I don't write songs I don't write songs about you

Nobody Knows 02:08
I got a secret nobody knows I got a story here's how it goes It's about a friend of mine and all the paths that he chose Now he's buried from his head to his toes I keep on giving now but I'm not fed Now I'm wondering if I'm missing out on something good

Buried Deep 03:30
I found a seed in my heart, in my heart I found a seed in my soul I found in my heart, in my heart I'm gonna let it grow Buried so deep in the soil, in the soil I'm gonna rake and a hoe Buried so deep in the soil, in the soil I'm gonna let it grow I planted and watered but why should I bother The wind and the flood just wash it away The weeds come and choke it The rain comes and soaks it It seems that my work has all been in vain I found a seed in my heart, in my heart I found a seed in my soul My only love she lies deep in the ground Lays fast asleep in a hole My only love she lies deep in the ground I'm gonna let it go I found a seed in my heart, in my heart I found a seed in my soul I found in my heart, in my heart I'm gonna let it grow
9.
I Believe 02:29
I believe what I want to believe I believe in what I can see But it doesn't mean what I want to see is a reality What I thought is what I wanted to think What I dream is what I wanted to dream But it doesn't mean that what I want to dream is right here in front of me It's a wonder that I'm around when you're around And I'll blame it all on you and you're bringing me down

They say what you don't know won't kill you But they ain't never been kept in the dark Our secret lives like knives we use To cut ourselves and tear each other apart How can you sit there with that smile on your face As if you've never cared about my past mistakes When Baby I'm about Baby I'm about to break Baby I'm about to break your heart They say that time will heal all wounds But they've never been broken up like this before We pray for patience but refuse To wait around for the opening of the door All we ever shared was Graceland How can you sit there with that smile on your face when Baby I'm about Baby I'm about to break Baby I'm about to break your heart
