Remission
03:35
|
|

There's no way in Hell I'm going
Down like this
Without broken bones and bloodied fist
Cuase' I know I would be remiss
If I didn't give it all I had to give
To pick myself up off the floor again
So one more time around before the end
Before the wheels fall off again and I'm left for dead
I said one more time around before the end
Before the wheels fall off again and I'm left for dead
And I will revel now
In the moment for awhile
Before the moment starts to fade
And everything I fought for slips away
And I find myself running in place
So one more time around before the end
Before the wheels fall off again and I'm left for dead
I said one more time around before the end
Before the wheels fall off again and I'm left for dead
I always wanted to forgive
Myself for everything thing I did
But would it matter in the end
So let's start it up again
Get the gears turning
And open up the gates for remission
So one more time around before the end
Before the wheels fall off again and I'm left for dead
I said one more time around before the end
Before the wheels fall off again and I'm left for dead

Can't Keep Up
02:14

CAN'T KEEP UP
Can I go back to the way that things once were
Before shit hit the fan and it all went south
Back before I went under
And everything I knew came crashing down
Back to a time before I fell
And the whole world around me went to hell
Back before my walls caved in
Before the light went dim
Can I go?
Because there's something missing here
And I can't find it
And I'm done looking
And the world keeps spinning
But I can't keep up
And I'm done trying
Can I go back to where it all began
When I still had the world sitting in my hand
Back to chase the dream again
Before it greyed and I gave in
Back to fight the final round
Before the world came around and beat me down
Back before I lost it all
Before the fire went cold
Can I go?
Because there's something missing here
And I can't find it
And I'm done looking
And the world keeps spinning
But I can't keep up
And I'm done trying
Can I erase it all?
Or is the damage done?
Can I replace it all?
And are there brighter days to come?
Can I at least have one more chance to start again?

Halfway Home
02:32
|
|
||
Is this what's left of me?
Can I chalk it up to victory or defeat?
And what the fuck does it all mean?
Cause I don't know what else to be
Lost or found or somewhere in between
It's all the fucking same to me
But
Can I pull through
Or have I lost the will to carry on
I can't decide
Which side I'm on
And I've been trying to
Find the strength to carry on
And I'm halfway home
I'm halfway gone
Feeling aimless
Feeling like I don't know
Which way I wanna go
Feeling listless
Like my bones are growing old
And soon my heart will be growing cold
But
Can I pull through
Or have I lost the will to carry on
I can't decide
Which side I'm on
And I've been trying to
Find the strength to carry on
And I'm halfway home
I'm halfway gone

Look out I'm goin down
No more treading water
This ship is bound to drown
Now I'm going under
My last breath will be
A tale of self destruction
And how I failed to be
Anything I wanted
What's a journey without heartache
Ain't much of a journey at all
What's a story without ending
Ain't much of a story at all
Look out I'm going down
There'll be no resurrection
I've set sail to drown
Paved a path of no redemption
My last steps will be
Lost in self destruction
Though I meant to be
More than what I wanted
What's a journey without heartache
Ain't much of a journey at all
What's a story without ending
Ain't much of a story at all
I don't know what I'm doing
I don't know who I am
I left it all in ruins
Should have been promised land
I don't know if I'm angry
I don't know if I'm sad
But I'm feeling empty
Like I lost all I had
And I don't know where I'm going
Not even sure where I am
And the doors that are closing
Won't open again
What's a journey without heartache
Ain't much of a journey at all
What's a story without ending
Ain't much of a story at all
And now there's
Nothing left but a story to tell

Sun Came Rising
03:24
|
|
||
There's something in the atmosphere
So I've been warned
But nothing ever happens here
It's just the calm before the storm
Batten down the hatches
We're waiting out the storm
Until this feeling in me is no more
But before the night falls
And dusk turns into dawn
I need to know this feeling is gone
Then the sun came rising today
And it set my sorrow ablaze
Stirring like a cyclone
And crashing like a wave
This feeling in me was building like rage
Then the sun came rising today
And it set my sorrow ablaze
But if the sun goes down tonight
Will it come back up tomorrow?
And if we stray far from the light
Will the darkness bring us sorrow?
And if we hold on too tight
Are we bound to choke out the life?
And if we don't know what's right
Are we bound to do the wrong thing twice?

Out To Sea
02:54
|
|

When we went out to sea
We knew we'd never come back
All we had were our dreams
To paddle this life raft
Whoa, we were down
Whoa, we were out
Whoa, we were down
Whoa, we were out
The first storm was loud
It shook our boat around
All we had were our dreams
But we made it safe and sound
Whoa, we were down
Whoa, we were out
Whoa, we were down
Whoa, we were out
The shore fades quick with the sea
When the sun goes down
All we'll have are our dreams
To bring us back around
Whoa, we were down
Whoa, we were out
Whoa, we were down
Whoa, we were out

Hourglass
03:02
|
|

We all hold on
To the hour glass
Till the hour's gone
It was never meant to last
But hold on
Give me back my past
It's all gone
It went too fast
Oh, there's nothing left
Oh, just what lies ahead
It's ok to move slow
Just don't lose time
It's ok to be idle for awhile
Jut don't fall too far behind
On my way down
As I fell into the depths
I stopped to look around
With hopes to find a grip
And time stood still
But I couldn't catch my breath
And hours started passing by
And I started to slip
Oh, there was nothing I could do
Oh, but let the sand fall through
It's ok to move slow
Just don't lose time
It's ok to be idle for awhile
Jut don't fall too far behind
Slow down
Hold out

Long Forgotten Yesterday
02:48
|
|
||
Will there be movement in the moment
Or stillness in the past
Will I be anxiously awaiting
Things that haven't happened yet
Will I have a second shot at glory
Will this be the only one I get
Cause the moment's passing by me
And I can't seem to capture it
But if I bookended the story
What would I really do with it
Would I make the same mistakes I did
The last time I let it slip
Maybe on the next time around
I'll have the sense to write it out
Maybe on the next time around
I'll have the sense to write it
Whoa, hey
Better seize the day
Before it's just another faded memory
Long forgotten yesterday
Will it be the last thing I remember
Will it be the first thing I forget
Either way I'm not sure that it matters
Cause I haven't forgotten yet
So I will relish in the memory
Until the memory is gone
And I will take these fading melodies
And write one more forgotten song
Maybe on the next time around
I'll have the sense to ride it out
Maybe on the next time around
I'll have the sense to ride it
Whoa, hey
Better seize the day
Before it's just another faded memory
Long forgotten yesterday
Day by day all these years keep changing shape
With all these friends we'd sculpt forever with momentary clay
But all the past belongs to all the things we gave away
Give yesterday to ghosts but now belongs to me
Well here I go
Whoa, hey
Better seize the day
Before it's just another faded memory
Long forgotten yesterday

Milestone
03:40
|
|

Here I go
Losing control
Maybe I never
Had any at all
I can't escape the weight of all the things I've done
But it comes and goes
Like a wrecking ball
Tearing through
Breaking down my walls
I can't escape the weight of all the songs I've sung
My heart is racing
I can feel each beat
The sound is pounding in my head on repeat
If I'm not choking
I can barely breath
The worst is over
Or so it seems
When did I go
Down the rabbit hole
Is it all
Mirrors and smoke
I can't escape the weight of all the things I've done and
I can't escape the weight of all the songs I've sung
My heart is racing
I can feel each beat
The sound is pounding
In my head on repeat
If I'm not choking
I can barely breath
The worst is over
Or so it seems
When panic's seeping in it becomes too hard to breathe
All the colors and the shapes start bleeding and it becomes too hard to see
Panic's seeping in and I keep trying to break away
Sometimes I wish I wasn't the way I am but it's just too hard to change
My heart is racing
I can feel each beat
The sound is pounding
In my head on repeat
If I'm not choking
I can barely breath
The worst is over
Or so it seems

Symphony
04:48
|
|

Are you there?
Can you speak?
I've been listening
But can't hear the screams
Can you sing me
A melody
With somber notes
And undertones
Of tragedy
Well here I am
Can you see?
Lend me your voice
And sing with me
The words are simple
Once you find the key
So from the start
Be a part
Of my symhpony
Of all the things I've done
I can't recall one
That led me astray
From all the things I'd become
I can't recall one
Are you there
Listening?
Can you hear me
When I sing?
Should I play you
An elegy
With all it's turns
And overtures
And sublteties
Of all the things I've done
I can't recall one
That led me astray
From all the things I'd become
I can't recall one
Well here we are
Finally
Turning phrases
With every beat
But I need a choir
And a harmony
For the serenade
The final refrain
Of my symphony
Of all the things I've done
I can't recall one
That led me astray
From all the things I'd become
I can't recall one

Restless Heart
03:16
|
|
||
I'm worse for ware
And out of touch
There's nothing here
I'd miss too much
I'll take it in
And I'll replace
Brighter things
With darker shades
Don't dread the wait
It takes time to change
And it'll be desolate
But things can't stay
They can't stay the same
The path is dark
And hard to see
The end is close
But out of reach
I'm alone
But I'm at peace
Restless heart
Don't bother me
But don't dread the wait
It takes time to change
And it'll be desolate
But things can't stay
They can't stay the same

South Long Island
04:03
|
|
||
I was born and raised just west of Babylon
On the north corner of 13th and fifth
On the same street that grandma Jules is on
Up the block from where my cousins lived
In my early days
I'd hear music playing
From the garage outside my window
Dad was always listening to the dead
Later on
He never changed the song
He just moved down to the basement
Yea, he's probably down there today
Oh, where'd the time go?
I remember days
On South Long Island
Playing hockey in the streets
I listened to Movielife
And played punk rock with my friends
Never thought those days would end
And in our glory days
We would bathe
In the sunlight in September
I always loved the way the seasons changed
And I was once young
And deep in love
And every day lasted forever
I used to want things to stay the same
But oh, I had to let it go
I remember days
On South Long Island
Smoking weed down by the docks
We listened to Stryder
And made the best of what we got
Whether if what we got was the best or not
It ain't easy
It ain't hard
But to make the journey
First you gotta start
And I don't know
What lies ahead
I'm just trying to be grateful for
All the places that I've been
Cause I remember nights
On South Long Island
My Mother worked herself to death
But she was strong for us
When we didn't even know what strength was
And I know she will be till the end
As the years pass
Me and J still laugh
Looking back on South Long Island
Putting down Buds and thinking about old friends
And so it goes
As we grow old
We'll always have a place that we called home
