We Write the Lines 03:29
lyrics
buy track
if good things will come to those who will wait then i might as well choose to relegate traditions and beliefs that disguise the wile they've got me caught up in a state of denial we've come to town to let this all go down we (you and i) write the lines that take a look at life you're caught in a moment deep in your mind where you can find yourself in time come through with sacrifices that you make thinking of the chance you have to take don't you find it's not worth to think twice just go back and show that you've come to fight tonight

the Queue 03:54
lyrics

we have a minor inconvenience and all of the ingredients to fuck up everything do you think that'd be the best way? maybe you're right, i'd tell you i would try but i'll remain it might just be too late for change i know it's been a while i've been living out exile still, i hope for better days this was supposed to be a phase just wish me well, i'll see you all in hell and i'll be on my way i've got nothing else left to say but i still feel that we can grow and so we are for all we know nobody wants to be left here, in the queue while most of us talk, the very few follow through everyone gets old when they coincide it's the end of our lives soon the risk, unnecessary, never involuntary it's taken just for fun this is living life under the gun look, now i'm late, i leave everything at stake all the time there's never enough goddamn time i know you want the best for me but that might not be what you see and i do fucking care it's just always been so hard to share what can i say? i let this slip away right before our eyes so don't act like it's a surprise say what you want, you know we'll never change once we've become, then this is how we'll remain

Put Me In, Coach 02:22
lyrics
buy track
now i'm up and shaking and i don't know why i'm underestimated, overtaken just in time visions of what could be done are all around no use to get them through common sense has yet to be found... all around you can't save me, it's too late. finally, i've found a way to find myself light taken off and replaced with another line what have we established here? what have we done? we've thrown it all away when we could have won... won this one they can't save us, it's too late.

Worse for Wear 03:33
lyrics
buy track
i want it all back now i want it right in front of me where all i do is reach out but where'd it even go? where the hell am i? are things that i see real or are they just figments of my mind? if envy gets no rest i'd sleep the whole damn day away and when i wake, care less but i've been on the run, tongue in cheek, up for what seems like a week doing work, but getting nothing done it shows... and that's just the way that it goes i know it's not what you would have chose... if i'm familiar, don't recognize me (just one shot, you went along and wasted) if not, then don't believe what you see (they soon forgot, have you ever even existed?) i want to let you know that i may struggle making any sense in vertigo illiterate and slow, in this, i can't decide conduct moral distortion just for fun, tamper with wrong and right somewhere down the line i'm going to cross and tell you that i've gone too far this time 'cus i've been on the run, tongue in cheek up for, oh, at least a week doing work but getting nothing done it shows... worse for wear - i'm at the end of my seat you don't want to see me right now worse for wear - we all succumb to defeat i guess it's just the way you choose how so choose how... you might as well youe bid farewell so choose how...

Beyond the Frontier 03:27
lyrics
buy track
well i guess that this is it, or so, as it may seem so take this time to enlight, some may say "intervene" they said, "you can become anyone" but see, i can't become me if i couldn't please myself, then i couldn't save thirteen i don't know what i did, as a kid, to comply but did i really, quite honestly? i don't think anyone could have fun if they tried but that's just my philosophy i don't know what i wanted to be, but why would i if it's right there in front of me? take a look at what you've done and how it's been in your life if it's what you call happily, then write your biography see who would want to read and why... now all in retrospect, this all became unclear is it still worthy of fight with no hope to persevere? i say, "become unlike anyone you see" beyond the frontier if i would have saved myself, this could have been my year i cannot breathe under the sealing i cannot walk the crowded floor i can't be bothered without feeling i can't feel helpless anymore i cannot live under this ceiling i cannot walk the crowded floor i can't be bothered without feeling i can't feel helpless anymore i cannot walk the crowded floor not like the way i did before i cannot help this anymore

Irreversible 06:11
lyrics
buy track
beneath crawling skin, life lays therein these apartment walls are wearing me thin 'cus i let this all get too far gone, now i cannot reset are we really here? look deep into the mirror i can see myself, but then i disappear i digress in this progress, not that there was hope but nonetheless what do you know? guess i'm not at home and whether i can make it back... (i just don't know) mend me, repair my memory, bring back the fight remember what it's like renowned, old talk of the town in it's own right 'cus it seems so damn long ago and how i got myself here, i don't know well maybe it's just me, but nowadays it seems the more that we evolve, the less we achieve the TV feeds all of our needs now everyone can share the same hobbies for all that i have known, erred from and let go i severed the last string with my jagged back bone can we spare this affair? save it for yourself. look man, i don't care (mend me, remember me, renowned in a ghost town) get me back all intact i have found the underground, pick me up and throw me down mend me, repair my memory, bring back the fight remember what it's like renowned, old talk of the town in it's own right 'cus it seems so damn long ago and how? we'll never know and irreversible when we both know there's no making it... home.
