1) Your Daughter



Everything you want, everything you give Walls are tearing through, paper thin They held you so high, every time you gave up Simplest screams, held their tongues
I had a dream, that you cam to life When people from the streets, called your daughter All the pretty lakes, and the services like the maids Recognized the ways that made her conquer, Your Daughter
Everyone called her name, picked her up to claim That the genus in your eyes, was your daughter How much can they spare, when they use up all the source And the passing times that made her conquer, Your Daughter

 

2) No More Batteries



And you wish, all your boundaries could hold, the structures will show, slowed
And the grief, showed up long before the toll, the others will consult, so, Contempt gather all your pawns forces patrol, for so long, and you know you control, the opportunities unfold, and you find the perfect spot to battle the resist, so long
No More Batteries, they're gone, you breath so, you breath slow

 

3) Add Up the Friends



Everyone wants to be your friend, everyone wants to be your friend, everyone wants to be your friend, everyone wants to be your friend, it just don't add up, it just don't add up
Everyone will tell you their own story, make you keep on worrying, I believe they'll never make a sound, the truth is someday they'll come around
It just don't add up, it just don't add up

4) Spent Time Underground



I've been waiting, underground - Light years, wasted, underground, Laughter, is quiet, the birds chase you around - Light years, passing, tunneling to find you
Wrench is, thrown in, your plans now - I've seen, your hair down, will you give me a sign
Tunneling to find you, don't fall down, our rope is near, its end

5) Every Day Gets Hard



Broken ways, we've all worn thin, throw away, all broken in, everyday gets hard, growing old, I know its, no ones fault, passing time, our town exists, and this boy, you almost missed
Everyday gets hard, growing old, I know its, no ones fault
Different ways, we try give, and that girl, you long to please, everyday gets hard growing old, I know its, no ones fault

6) Thick Orange Piping



I got a call, so I left despite, mention the words, as I burned out the light, the thick orange piping grew so large, a simple hello, and call it a night
I always let them bring me down, the subtle feelings, hurt so long, never again will I say it so loud, worn out my welcome, call it a night, call it a night

7) The Bricklayers



The bricklayers came to town, setup shop, between you and I, everyday, the wall builds up,  as the workers, continue to pound, I call to you, no remark, no gesture, not even a sound, My efforts last winded, I try to prepare, no time to prepare, not so proud, Its your greatest escape to date, failed to work, through all the mason, and the doubt, it had built, the energy it once took, to process, a single smile, you weren't there, now seems impossible, a 180 detour,  from the past, that we shared, the wall was so too tall, I couldn't see, the look in your eyes, I once had, its your greatest escape to date

8) Open Up to Hide



Yeah I want to shut them up, and you, we can take them on, just the two - of us, yeah we can strike it rich, its a start, we can take them down -- like this
Why don't you just try, to open up and find, why don't you just try, but you open to hide, yeah the kids are talking shit, once again, we can turn them off -- just like this
Why don't you just try, to open up and find, why don't you just try, but you open to hide

9) Holding Onto Your Heart



Holding onto your heart, holding onto your heart, holding onto your heart, holding onto your heart
All the locks on your head, stop me from dreaming again, I can't close my eyelids, because I'm holding onto your heart
Why can't you just wake up, and see what they've been saying, why can't you believe us, we're only trying to say
A great water washed us in, but your boundries kept us thin, the walls are closing in, and all I can do is sing, holding on to your Heart

10) You're Only Breathing



You're only breathing, you're only breathing, I'm sure, when they watch you You had to turn it on, I know, I could of helped you, you couldn't stand it, I'm told, you're only breathing, I'm sure, you're only breathing, you're only breathing, I'm sure, you had to count on, you're the only one, I'm told, Aall your feelings, locked in a mason jar, controlled
You're only breathing, you're only breathing, I'm sure, only breathing, this I know for sure

We Have Become Vikings

1) I'm in Another Place



I’m in another place , don’t tell me that you want to go home, we’ve been searchin’ for so damn long, if there’s something left on the highway, let’s find it again

2) Patience Works!



Patience, takes work, patience, takes work
How much is it worth, To You

3) Whiskey Won, Fall Down



Givin’ up too loose, that’s the voice we use, its not that hard when I’m lyin’ on the floor, cutting up, cutting loose, whiskey won fall down, heartbeats may choose, too figure out where I belong
Didn’t mean you should take it, I’m not that strong, did you forget to make it, when I’m gone
I need more time, to walk down a different line, whiskey won, fall down, figure out, next time

4) Bedlight



I want to talk to you, wake up, share the same bedlight, I want to be with you, wake up, share the same bedlight
But if you don’t mind, do it again, tonight

5) The Caribbean



Think of all the goodtimes, we spent apart, up and down we wasted, every thought, I know all you secrets, and how you hide your dirty past, I know all you vices, and how you hide your ugly past, forget about him
The broken heart that kept you, is the heart that holds us back, the ones you love the most are the ones who stab your back, I know all you secrets, and how you hide your dirty past, I know all you vices, and how you hide your ugly past, forget about him

6) Backyard Flames



The papers they wrote about, the incident at our house, you give it away for another day, what would all those people say
When I’m dead and gone, would you love him more, than you loved me I wish I had a camping ground, to let the kids go run around, a release from all the daily stress How you buried my heart the same way

7) How Many Licks (to the Center of Your Universe)



We feel apart, like another star, you meant the most, now, I’m but a ghost
How many licks does it take to get
We were invincible, you, said it yourself, please, I’ll take it back, now, I have to go

8) Strong as You



Thinking all about saturday, its friday, Nothing is wrong, but there in my way, would you be the one to stay, give some praise, you’ll be taking the trip back sunday, you’ll be miles away
Nothings as strong as you, no one is as strong, as you

9) All the Notion



So just take your time, your feel better now, and just take your hands, move them up and down
If I had the notion, you give me purpose now
So just make that move, get it over now, and just twist that knife, you twist it round and round

10) Crash that Party



Rest you’re your hand on my shoulder, take a set my table, we might have only one more day, to sit, in the sun, and stare, to sit, in the sun, and stare
Someday, we’ll crash that party, until, we’ll run and hide
Have you ever wanted to leave the show, pack it all up, and head for the door , we might have only one more day, to sit, in the sun, and stare, to sit, in the sun, and stare, someday, we’ll crash that party

11) Untitled



Middle of the road, where has it come to, too many times, can’t remember why, even though he came what about your mother, then there was dad, how he had fallen, but you knew him well
How much does it cost, not much further, how much does it run, you want it all, yeah you want it
You left it on the fence, to much to remember, lie to yourself, will you ever recover, how you knew him well

12) Walk You Home



If you run out, can I walk you home
When you run out, I will walk you home
