Track Name: Wait for Silence
What ever happened to the new salvation?
Whatever happened to the twin-fin motor car to cross
your freeway to the sun?
Now you're waiting for an explanation,
Sitting patient while your pink carnation falls apart
Petals in the sand

Wishin’ all the while
Heaven sent a

Sign your friends up for deliverance
Wait for Silence, Wait for Silence
Roller coaster to oblivion
Wait for Silence, Wait for Silence

Say you're lucky that your heart keeps beating
a melody that’s keeping every bone and your soul aligned,
echo two and four
Telling everyone you'll keep believing
Holy ghost must have slept through his alarm,
laying gently in his bed
Track Name: Better Off Dead
Caught a bit of lightening in his hands
Stared into the sunrise, to show her that he cared
But she was not about, to settle

Counted down the hours, held his breath
Stumbled through the arguments, fell upon the fifth
But he was not about, to take this sitting down

One fine day
He'll make his case
For now she'll say, he's better off dead

Thumbing through the postcards and the lies
Rearrange the photographs, heartbreaks and the crimes
When she was all strung out, he left her hanging
Now he's finding out, what he'll be missing
Track Name: Borderlines
Close your eyes sleepy dreamer
Strings of violins sing beneath the sea
Rising tides take us deeper
Slip into the sound again, drowning in

Armored hearts have retreated
While your eyelids dance upon their screens
And your secrets and your reasons
They’re not safe and sound again, drowning in

Open waters, diving in
Broken borders, wake to find we, crossed over borderlines

When the levees depleted
All is well in the belly of the whale
But you’re sleep-less. And your deepest.
Dreams are churning round again, drownin in
Track Name: Fallin'
Born in a bottle
Blankets of snow
Call your shipwrecked constitution safe at home
Never been low
Ever bound to be the one who's
Choking on a vow of silence

One shake you're falling apart
It's a call to arms, from another point of view
One shake your prisoners heart
It's a call to arms, call to arms.

Daddy fell in a fountain,
What a fortunate soul
Made your bed upon the wishes cast and thrown
Silver and gold
Kept your head below the waterline
Shackled in the expectation

Can you weather the shelter?
Would you rather a storm?
Will your captain keep you tethered in the dark?
Let these hands shake apart
The life that you’ve been leading
Overboard the bottles breaking
Track Name: The New Blues
Raised a tall glass of crimson
When they toasted the sky
Hell your heart's in the mission
But your head's filled with lies

Cause they filled you up
Once they broke you down
Say they'll carry you home to the arms of the crowd

Well, we got each other forever my friends
Now you're knee deep, shit's creek, heartbreakin' heaven and everybody's droppin like flies

Cause, they filled you up
Now they shot you down
Gonna carry you home when there's no one around
Gonna bury your bones, deep in the ground

Why see the light when you can nail your colors?
Say i'll fight, I'll fight...
Track Name: Never Know
She's waiting by the lights,
Arms shaking on the vacant counter
Another starless night
Door open in the darkest hour

Where he goes, the rain, the cold
Shiver in the emptiness,
She begs him though, she'll never know

She's praying for a fight
She’s aching on the ancient sofa
And the mirror knows she might
pull the trigger just to call it over

Where he goes, the rain, the cold, vanish in the fray
Hoping that some hurt will hide the pain
Holding on in vain, calling out his name

Singin, I loved you more than madly
Tell me where you’ve gone
And in this perfect weather, love's a rolling storm

Now she hiding from the search lights, bright beams
There she goes with blood on her clothes
Rather running in a dark-horse day-dream
Heaven grows no flowers at his toes

She's waiting in the lights,
Hands shaking under running water
Another starless night
Another star less.
Track Name: Eyes on the Sky
Eyes on the sky, hands on the wheel
with a fear of what she's become
She dreamt a life of movies, but the spotlights nowhere near
and the lonely stars are pointing home

Waving goodbye, choking back tears
In the rear view, a setting sun
headlights streaming past her, with their destinations clear
and she knows not where she's from

A life, worth repeating
A dream, come undone
She cries, but not defeated
Cause she's not the only one

Finding the life, she left on a prayer
feels as empty as a drum
And the bike she used to ride on, is all rusted by the rain
Took a chance, and now she’s done
Track Name: Lay Your Gun Down
Won't you lay your gun down.
Won’t you let the wave crest over you
It's safer dear in numbers,
And strangers lay in arms for someone who fails to queue

Who said we lost control in the name of the savior?
Our boys will move along when you call me neighbor.

Won't you lay your palms down
Won't you let this candle light your room
You're racing toward the darkness
And your losing face
Now face the fire we built for you, or be consumed

Who said we lost control in the name of the savior?
Our march will move along when you call me neighbor
and spit at your maker

Won't you lay your gun down
Won't you let your head now, kiss the throne
Won't you press your palms down
Won't you let your heart now turn to stone
House aglow

Who said we lost control in the name of the savior?
Our boys will move along when you call me neighbor
One spark your will is gone
Track Name: On A Ledge
On a ledge
On the edge of convictions and questioned commitments
Tell me what's the color of your parachute?
Here in bed
We could write our own religion
Sing a song for all the sinners
And never need to testify

You followed faith.
I am losing, I am losing

On the fence,
Between good intentions and who you want to be
On the road, you left behind conventions.
That's where you left me

You followed faith.
We are aware.
Your-great-escape

I am losing, I am losing
And I will lose the battle for the war
Don't you even care?

It’s hard to fake emotions
Your fate I fear I can’t hold on
Contemplating’s, got you fadin’ baby
Watching as our castles fall
Track Name: Tonight
It's a cinderella story...
