Callous 03:26
There’s dust upon my heart And the ink in my pen in dry My melody used to be so loud My melody used to be so loud I am callous… Settle in for another lonely walk As I fall into a moonless sky My melody used to be so loud My melody used to be so loud I am callous… I’m callous… My melody used to be so loud…

City Lights 03:56
They can’t see Who we are We share our laughs in the dark Pick it up Throw a star Five points through the heart Then a stranger picks me up I am strange to myself One more time in the city lights People don’t understand One more time in the city lights Who I really am One more time in the city lights No I’m not alone I am home I am home I am home I’m beneath Gravity They’re going down one by one I’m asleep Off the street Twenty miles from my home Then a stranger picks me up I am strange to myself One more time in the city lights People don’t understand One more time in the city lights Who I really am One more time in the city lights No I’m not alone I am home I am home I am home

Cold Stream 03:45
Going up to Nursery Rd. Past the tire and the goal post To Vince’s home I got food, I got a bed I smoked up in the attic And laid down low In a Cold stream Cold stream I saw Jade everyday She would always seem to say Lose that girl You could lose that boy too It would be just me and you But she would say no Cold stream Cold stream Cold stream It was a cold stream Seattle and LA Who would’ve thought that it would take us So far away Phoenix and Green Bay But we will always come back to The cold stream Cold stream Cold stream To the cold stream We packed up into the van To the rocks behind the dam So we could swim Sometimes we’d lose our clothes Until the siren blowed And we all ran The cold stream Cold stream Cold stream To the cold stream…

You never saw the plane Come crashing into your side Until the fire and the flames And the smoke surrounded you A love too high for you to just jump out A love too high to doubt You are Stronger than you think you are You are A lion Heart You are A hero in the dark You are Mine You never knew The damage that was below The empty rooms The dead load With doors open And windows unshut They ran rampant With a death touch You are Stronger than you think you are You are A lion Heart You are A hero in the dark You are Mine They say you can never mend it But you see an arc behind the clouds Set your eyes upon its ending Don’t look back and please Don’t look down You are Stronger than you think you are You are A lion Heart You are A hero in the dark You are Mine

Too Late 04:52
I pushed you too hard I think I bruised your heart When I left you Sitting alone by the phone These thoughts are running through your mind Your heart’s racing through the time How could I leave you alone? Got wrapped up in myself again I got so wrapped up and now I’m stuck I shoveled my love behind my friends And I fell into a hole that I was digging up Well is too late for me to say I’m sorry? Is it too late for me to make amends? Well is too late for me to say I’m sorry? She said sorry’s never gonna be good enough for me. I’m talking to your back You’re just not talking back And now I’m sleeping On the couch all alone These thoughts are running through my mind My heart’s racing through the time I’ve never felt so alone I sent out a boomerang But I didn’t take the time to see what I threw And when it came back I felt twice the pain Cause I didn’t just hurt myself I hurt you How could I do that to you? Well is too late for me to say I’m sorry? Is it too late for me to make amends? Well is too late for me to say I’m sorry? She said sorry’s never gonna be good enough for me. She said, “Show me the things that I can’t hear The little things that have disappeared I need more than just a line I need a little time” Now it’s too late for me to say I’m sorry? Now it’s too late for me to make amends? Now it’s too late for me to say I’m sorry? She said sorry’s never gonna be good enough for me.
