Track Name: I'd Give Up My Belongings, but My Legs Are too Long to be Homeless
Tonight, I won't stop tonight.

1, 2, 3, 4 put the pedal to the floor just once more
Even though I need the sleep I'm growing I can't stand the company I keep
And my eyes are growing heavy, but my hands are feeling steady
I think I'm ready to take a turn for the worst
The sirens are calling, but I won't stop tonight

I won't stop tonight.
It doesn't get much better than this
It couldn't get much worse than it already is

Cmon cmon cmon, everybody sing that old Bob Dylan song, it goes
La da da da da, da da da
Cmon cmon cmon, if there's a lesson to be learned I'll sing along
I've got the words tattooed to my chest
Now there's a hole in my chest, I'm spilling it out tonight

I won't stop tonight
It doesn't get much better than this
It couldn't get much worse than it already is

We'll go on and take the night away
We'll take the night away

Have you ever stood out in the pooring rain staring at the keys in your car?
I have felt like that for my entire life, and I am done.

Tonight, I won't stop tonight
It doesn't get much better than this
It couldn't get much worse than it already is
Track Name: 1415
There's a monster in your closet
And it lives beneath your bed
And if you don't do something about it
It's gonna live in you instead

The line it's been drawn
The curse has been cast

So where do we go now that we're here?
I can feel it in the air.
I'm lying in the back seat just waiting for the crash
And I never thought I'd care

There are ghosts up in the attic
And they parry while you sleep
But if you listen very closely
You can hear their quiet creep

And they're stealing all your secrets through the fillings in your teeth

We're all monsters
Come one come all

Where do we go now that we're here?
I can feel it in the air
14 or 15 years, it's all the same
And I never thought I'd care, no I still don't think I care.
Track Name: Circles
I've been on this road feels like for miles
Walking in glorified circles cause horizon lines just aren't my style
Don't wait up for me cause I'll be a little while
I'll walk til I get what I need and this road goes on for miles

Now this world is broadcast black and white
Maybe it's wrong, maybe it right, whatever helps me sleep at night

What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with you?
I am perfectly alright
Yeah, I'm doing fine

There's my lungs
They're out on the dance floor
You can take them if you want
Just try to keep it down

I won't make a sound.

What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with you?
I am perfectly alright
Yeah, I'm doing fine

I won't make a sound
Track Name: The Tide
A dead man once said no man is an island
But I respectfully disagree with that
Just look at me
Down beneath my feet, all there is is sea
Just look at me
The day that I wake, the day that I break
Will be the day that Manhattan reconnects with the mainland

Live from Salt Lake it's Wednesday afternoon
And I can't get around the fact that I might drown, if I can't find for me some solid ground.

I've said it once. And I'll say it again
If man were meant to fly, he'd a grown some wings
See here's the thing
I'd be there with them, but I've got no velocity
See here's the thing
The day that I was, the day that I rise
Will be the day that those birds come home to roost in the mainland

Live from Salt Lake it's Wednesday afternoon
And I can't get around the fact that I might drown, if I can't find for me some solid ground

I am like the tide I come and go
There's a line drawn in the sand, I'm not crossing it

I see two lights, one that flashes red and one that lights the path ahead
I need some direction, I need some sight cause the sky is turning red
Not so much red, more like the color of the back of my eyelids when I'm staring at the sun.
As long as my eyes are are closed, no one needs to know that I'm lost

I am like the tide I come and go
There's a line drawn in the sand, I'm not crossing it
Track Name: Go
Lets build a house upon a hill we'll dig a mote around it
Then when life see fit she'll turn us all to nothing
To homeless people walking the streets and softly talking
Staying out of ear shot of the ones that drag us down

Either you're selling out, or else you're buying in
Either way they're gonna take it from you
No one cares what row you hoe
They only care how low you'll go
Either way they're gonna take it from you

I found the needle in the haystack, I prayed it was a good one
Took it to the bank and then I left for California
When got back to that place I said California is not the same
So I came back here to Utah with their spit upon my face.

Now I'm not gonna move, but I gotta get out of the way
And if I've said what I mean, what else is there left to say?

Either you're selling out, or else you're buying in
Either way they're gonna take it from you
No one cares what row you hoe
They only care how low you'll go
Either way they're gonna take it from you

Go!
Track Name: Pockets
I've got my hands in my pockets like I've got something to hide
And I do as the smell of something burning fills the room
And I've got all my fingers crossed
Prayin' to God my head doesn't explode
And that no one finds me out

I've got my hands in my pockets like I've got something to hide
And it stings as the blisters on my knuckles start to bleed
And stand behind this wall I hear their whispers and they all, they're all coming for me
I swear they're coming for me

Secrets made me who I am but pretty soon they'll break me
And these shadows that I lead become a part of me
And my heart won't let them be
And I wish that I was free

Broken promises
Cheap pearl necklaces
Boxes full of notes
When the front door opens all the lights go out

(Chorus)
I still cannot believe the things that I put up with
I still cannot believe the things I got away with

Some things I don't remember
Some I can't forget

(Chorus)
Track Name: The Ghost of Apollo Creed, It Haunts Me
Maybe it's all just a game
Maybe it's nature's design
Maybe we're all just machines; cogs in a panel increasing in speed

And I, well I take it in stride

So stop counting the ways that I have let you down
And start counting the days til I won't be around
Cause I am nothing but a complicated thief with some sense of irony
And like a stranger in a dream, could you please for get me?

Can I ask you a question, what am I still doing here?
With this foot in my mouth, it removes any doubt
That when that clock strikes midnight I'll be heading out.

I've used that line at least a thousand times and I meant it every time
So just take it in stride

So stop counting the ways that I have let you down
And start counting the days til I won't be around
Cause I am nothing but a complicated thief with some sense of irony
And like a stranger in a dream, could you please for get me?

Looking for the forest through the trees, would you please forget me?
Nothing but a complicated thief with some sense of majesty
And like a stranger in a dream, would you please forget me?
