Pals 01:53
Felt distant after our anthill fell Cheated myself when my ear came off the ground And I missed all those sweet, sweet sounds Now I know, going anywhere your chips don’t pool Leaves you hedging bets like a fool Found my way back home Lost that feeling from being alone And I just wanna get stoned and listen to your songs Now I know going anywhere your chest don’t pull you Leaves you charting maps like a fool

No time today Maybe not tomorrow You say this is love like it’s a song And I want to share my way But give you time to find it I just hope you don’t say it’s all wrong Cause I’m not gonna pace it I’m here and I’m gone One foot out the door But not for long And I’m not gonna lace it With everything I know Cause I know the better chance Is that I’m wrong Like I need to know I am wrong I need you to know I’m still here

Bare 02:10
Do you want resolution Or just a distraction You don’t want evolution You just want to live and die But if the execution isn’t right You’ll just complain And ask for the same Old ways are now bringing you down Your characters have all drown When you look outside and don’t know why you frown Then try the door that’s slammed so tight Come out tonight (X3) It’s the heart that they try not to bare that lets you know they’re there It’s the heart that you try not to bare that lets them know you’re there It’s the heart that they try not to bare that lets them know you’re there It’s the heart that you try not to bare that lets you know they’re there It’s the heart that they try not to bare that lets them know they’re there It’s the heart that you try not to bare that lets you know you’re there

Bit Parts 01:59
I USED TO HAVE A FOLKLORE FASHIONED IT FOR YEARS ITS ALL BECOME CLEAR EVERYONE HAS THEIR MINOR PART TO PLAY BEHOLD THE GRAND SPOTLIGHT I AM DESERVING SOLILOQUY IN THE NIGHT LISTEN TO THE MURMURING I CAN CAST MYSELF AS WHOEVER THE ENDLESS MONOLOGUE ITS ALL RIGHT THERE IN BLACK AND WHITE I COULD EXPLAIN EVERYTHING I DID TO YOU ITS COLD OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT AS ITS SWERVING EXODUS STAGE RIGHT AS THE CURTAIN CLOSES FOR THE LAST TIME PICK UP YOUR ROSES I ALWAYS KNEW FROM THE START BORN TO PLAY THE BIT PARTS FOR ALL OF THE GLORY IT WAS ALWAYS YOUR STORY

He left that day knowing Everything made sense There wasn’t a place He’d ever hide But those pig iron boys Were chasing bags of cents And there was nothing They wouldn’t try Keenan went to work Paid his bills on time Those pig iron boys Planned the perfect crime And as the night dimmed And as the world spins We’re always on the losing side of it Each day you stood waiting For a chance that never came That train kept rolling And that train keeps rolling

Cheers 02:14
NOW THAT THE OLD LADYS DEAD ILL NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN HERES A BOX OF ASHES FOR YA BLOWN AWAY IN THE DIASPORA DONT RAKE THE LEAVES IN THE FALL PULL THE PHONE OFF THE WALL DONT THINK OF US AT ALL FINALLY A PERFECT CASTLE NO COBWEBS AND NO HASSLE IN SUCH A LONG TRADITION ITS HARD TO WALK AWAY BUT OUR BLOOD IS A PRISON SO LETS CUT THE VEIN I KNOW NOW YOU WERE WRONGED DEALT WITH US FOR SO LONG SO CHEERS TO LIFTED WEIGHTS OUTSIDE THE CEMETARY GATES LOVE HAS CONDITIONS THERES NO OTHER WAY OUR BLOOD IS A PRISON SO LETS BREAK AWAY CHEERS!

You did not want me to leave the town of the flowing well Never pictured me at Big Ed’s with a jukebox and a hearty swill But ma I’ve only used a crutch or two Though my whole life’s been in shifts It still halts Well I say your words often and I sing your songs blue Of all the crimes I’m guilty of none are worse than those against you You taught me to keep a revolving door And strangers on my floor But no one ever knows what to do (like you) I’ve got these kids who seem to love me by default And I tell them you’re not gone, just beyond some vacant threshold You know I’ve seen them cry at funerals and the pangs of adolescence And I know they long for you and I know they long for you like I do Where are you?
