Dire 04:28
lyrics
You told me lies You couldn’t fake it through your smile And it was perfect til your were caught Redder hands make bigger marks And I was scarred So are you in dire need of some attention boy? cause I’m not ready to give any to you You swore that I would be the only one you desired And so you fooled me into a crime where we pretend there is no fault You were wrong So are you in dire need of some attention boy? cause I’m not ready to give any to you

Paradise 02:39
lyrics
Would you stay here down the road when you are old? Could you call this home? Well I’ve never lived outside this place It’s never cold in the winter -But I can’t call this much of a paradise those are far and few Could you believe this town is a well-made lie? Is this city life for you? Are we playing safe or do we belong? Will I ever pack my things and run? Well I’m not moving, until the road sings “move along” Well we take turns between love & hate There’s no control of this cities mood So I’m over everyones complaints If your on you own is it hard to swallow? But I can’t call this much of a paradise those are far and few Could you stay in a town that is oh so quiet Are white picket fences for you? Are we playing safe or do we belong? Will I ever pack my things and run? Well I’m not moving, until the road screams “move along” Are we home? We are home, looks like we’re home

Cave 03:33
lyrics
I didn’t even know that you could run cause I have only seen you crawl oh how fast we grow In light on all the time we’ve wasted I could not deny that something made our cheeks blush red but I can’t say Why I try, can’t point the blame Cause now I’m tired of listening Did your heart cave? Cave Did it cave? Well I never felt the rush until you had me lying there just flesh and bone Oh somehow we grew And I never seemed to care until you spoke in my ear so soft and slow, just like before... And now we’re trying to listen in Stay hush, stay quiet, until it we hear... Did your heart cave? Cave Did it cave? Oh it caved

Give & Take 03:47
lyrics
Was she starting a war in this place? “Is the somewhere to go? Take me away” As her hand waves along in the air Is she bidding a last farewell? -And it looked like there was nothing left on her smile And if only she could hold her breathe under water All that sinking would somehow be worth the while It’s hard to say the rain is both give and take It’s not a permanent cast on that break Like the bones that’ll mend, oh it’ll be ok And the damage is done, hope she’ll see That as soon as she begins to swim it’s a remedy that’s what she needs

Don't Miss Me 02:48
lyrics
I thought you left me here to dry I’ve stayed so you wouldn’t seem too shaked by shivers down your spine when guilt is just not yours to keep -So don’t miss me Even if we had all the time Somehow you’d constantly seek hours away, oh how lonely I would be there sitting waiting So don’t miss me Just how lucky were we to be saved on the day that we both walked away If it was too detrimental then why’d we ever play these games? Oh don’t miss me I thought you left me here to cry good thing the feeling didn’t keep who could replace you? who will try? that still remains to be seen So don’t miss me

Losing Track 03:39
lyrics
So we’ve been sorting out just how long it’s been We’re aging by the minute, is it graceful or unfair? Have you compared your life to those former peers? We’re curious who’s living better off or who might fail Should we care? -Lost track of time on this plane ride Have we arrived to the end? Can we land? Because up here we can fly Only for a few a hours at a times Please don’t crash Cause I’ve lost track of all traffic signs So we’ve been sorting out just how long it’s been We’re slowly gaining nothing from our efforts to unveil All of these wishful thoughts of tipping all those scales Are we caught off balance? It won’t matter in the end I won’t care

Stranger City 02:26
lyrics
It was May, the end of spring Packed all our things to move up the street Always hear the city engines speak There is no quiet, but we’re quite settled in Over Broadway, Stranger City Take the train down the open lines Drive through the traffic stalls, walk when the sign flashes on So they ask, “what’d you get yourself into?” The kind of living that us reckless youth can’t spare to do Over Broadway, Strangest City Just a little close to the open sky Just a shorter drive to the oceanside We can’t get away cause we’re making a wage day by day we stare over this place Now I’m sure the year has just begun all this time we’ve still been staring right up at the sun So we’ll test the only sights to see Living blindly here over Broadway

There's A Storm Coming In 04:02
lyrics
I could not see the moon anymore I could not hear the clouds rolling through I was caught in the rain before I knew I was gone, swept away deep into The storm Tie the line to the nearby steady holds Try to find those people who’ll save you soon By the looks of it we might make it to the otherside safe and sound this afternoon -I wasn’t there, oh I swear These tides just test our will

Temper Tampered 03:10
lyrics
Caught screaming “loves a lie” to our dismay You said it’d be alright, that we would sleep So baby please, lie here and stay with me These cuts don’t bleed because it’s just a little dream -Now I know you’ll stay and make believe This time around things still might change But when I’m gone you’re on your own to walk alone Temper Tampered-we’ve outgrown So quick did we arrive only to leave That need to fill desire just made us weak So call me cheap, and it won’t cost a thing Those words don’t sting much when nobody’s listen -Now I know you’ll stay and make believe This time around things still might change But when I’m gone you’re on your own to walk alone Temper, Tampered, We’ve outgrown Temper, Tampered, We’ve Outgrown
