City Lights 04:28
Tangled in what is and what aint, halfway through my self portrait and I ran out of paint but blue skies will be comin' my way, I'm gonna be jumpin' naked into a sparkling bay again. It's too crowded here to be so lonely and my one horse town needs another one trick pony, the smell of stale beer caresses my face on winds that will blow me far away from this place, 'cause, I hate the city life Another pack of beer in the park, another drunken stumble home in the dark again and nobody remembers my name and every single thing I see look exactly the same, because I hate the city life I hate the city lights

Sun Rising 04:03
I saw the sun rising it doesn't mean anything at all. I saw the stars starting to rise it doesn't mean anything at all. A name or an explanation won't satisfy me, in the face of the universal mystery. I have a very terrible dream and when i awoke I couldn't remember a single thing it doesn't mean anything at all. A name or an explanation won't satisfy me, in the face of the universal mystery.

Flesh Prism 02:35
Open concept kitchen in a trailer park, pale light pours in, you'll take another coffee as the subject of small talk grows thin, that welcome sent of cigarettes upon a frigid mountain wind. The prism of the flesh divides a perfect light so vividly, into ten thousand colours of a projected reality of which I am imprisoned but that will not get the best of me babe hey, hey dream to me

Outa Sight 05:52
The great sadness that the heart feels if pouring out of your eyes, silent and but softly singing and slow dancing with me. When you rolled back into this town I cut off all of my ties, hoping to surrender too you and hoping that you could be mine. And I'd hold you and I'd let you know how i've been waitin' for so long for you to come back into my life. tell me if im outa line, (your outa line) I know it's far out but its outa sight not outa mind just tell me that I'm on your mind (your on my mind) We can go out or we can have some fun tonight. The great sadness deep in your eyes is flowing into my heart silent and but softly singing and slow dancing with me. when you rolled back into this town you know I just fell apart hoping to surrender too you and hoping that you could be mine. And I'd hold you and I'd let you know how i've been waitin' for so long for you to come back into my life. Tell me if im outa line, (your outa line) I know it's far out but its outa sight not outa mind just tell me that I'm on your mind (your on my mind) We can go out or we can have some fun tonight.

Shallow End 03:36
I came here warm heart well intentioned and when the music started everyones a sceptic, and all my dancers are narcoleptic and I'll get home well weathered I'd love to flock but theres no birds of this feather and whats more I can't help but romanticize the war that keeps me alone What the hell am I suppose to do now? What dream is there left to come true for me know? I'm drowning in the shallow end of the pool. I wake up hands shakin' I've been mistakin' my wakin' life for something worth taking for granted till nothing seems enchanted and I'd break down if it mattered my dreams are shattered, scattered like broken mirror on the floor far to disjointed to even recognize myself anymore What the hell am I suppose to do now? What dream is there left to come true for me know? I'm drowning in the shallow end of the pool.

So Long 03:52
Well, you feel just like a hail storm fallin' all around me dear, and I can tell that somethings going on so lets just get outa here lets just get outa here I've been dreamin' for so long, waitin' for something like this to come my way, and I've been waiting for so long, dreaming of wakin' up next to you each day. Well your face it looks just like a storm, calm in your eyes but chaos surrounds, and just before this wave began to break, something just lifted me clean off the ground, something just lifted me clean off the ground I've been dreamin' for so long, waitin' for something like this to come my way, and I've been waiting for so long, dreaming of wakin' up next to you each day. "baby, we can take the long way home, baby, only later to just stare at our phones."
