City Nights 03:21
lyin in my bed a scream enters my head outside my window someone i don't know the boy across the street that i may never meet keeps me from dreamin oh what's the meaning? i fall asleep to the sound of broken city nights the dreams that i remember always seem to end up haunting better days a concrete shade of gray i fall asleep to the sound of broken city nights
2.
Long Arms 02:43
on the long walk home surrounded by the rain makin morse tappin 'no' on my brain a message mixed up at the window: "carry on" intended to move me to the next one but i mistook it to mean "keep trying, don't change a thing" now i'm here reachin for the same one it's something long arms can't obtain
3.
Dunedin Dark 03:52
the streetlight started it all needed a beacon to get through the fog it blinked two times then abandoned the wall can't chase the shadows of ghosts, so i gave up and wandered alone i let you go what light could break through this wall? let cracks dissolve into canyons and light flood the valley below? i'll let you know i met midnight alone drowned in dunedin dark i was searching for a spark on my way down i went looking for you turned upside down, i couldn't find a clue now tell me, what am i supposed to do? "break through the walls that are surrounding you" now i'm upside down, and you aren't true
4.
Strangers 03:24
strangers all around they walk slow they make no sound strangers all around they live low their fears unfound i hope they're sleepin sound after the sun goes down on lonely streets away from the crowds windows trace stories skewed vignettes believed of loved living rooms the way light flickers 'round ceiling fans leaves lingering doubt behind the curtains drawn on friday nights the strangers are gone strangers all around
5.
Starry Eyed 03:12
that time when i first saw you i didn't think that much at all just another soul to talk to i didn't think i'd feel the fall now i see the wall i sat there starry eyed for your call i said my goodbyes to the sun
6.
dead bones on the side of the road driving clogged highways by rote everybody hurts video on repeat in my head surrounded by a thousand souls somehow i still feel alone everybody hurts video on repeat in my head clouds shift to dollar signs in the sky can't escape the bottom line ten hours gone from my life when an hour's hard to find they look like dollar signs in the evening sky it's melding into my mind i can't afford the time everybody hurts video in my mind
7.
he moves with the sureness of a flame wavering when the wind blows the other way in his mind, seven changes have already been made before he struggles to start the day the awkward dancer moves stop
8.
Trem Three 02:02
i thought you knew forgot to tell you oh what's the use who wants to know when the leaves start to go that's when i'll start the show
9.
little anthony "out of my head" i know to be true personality locked in lead, i just want to know you but i can't even find the words inside to talk to you and i don't know why my being shy should keep us from being two but i don't know what to do so i hide inside the words of this song little anthony "out of my head"
10.
Tightrope 02:47
bring forth your silhouette before the wind takes it tight-rope walkin pirouette until the earth's shakin your head is on fire a magnificent light give me the dark, barren night you're not something that i'd forget bring me the dark
11.
Remains 03:22
darlin' i spoke too soon startled, i drove you away "sorry you're prone to play the fool" those weren't the words i'd hoped you'd say the remains of the day waste away darlin' i thought you knew that time is the fool's place to play the remains of the day waste away sing it softly to the stars' sway
