In My Town

In my town, no one ever disagrees
In my town, no one ever questions your beliefs
And in my town, everything is as it seems
In my town, no one ever questions anything
In my town, everything is beautiful
In my town, no one ever feels like they’re alone
In my town, no one even locks their doors
In my town, everything that’s mine is also yours
It’s so perfectly beautiful
Nothing changes and no one knows any different
Well, I suppose it seems like I’m living in a dream
Everything is beautiful
Everything is beautiful
It’s so perfectly beautiful
Nothing changes and no one knows any different
Well, I suppose it seems…I’m living in a dream
Am I living in a dream?
Am I living in a dream?

Mary Anne (By My Side)

Mary-Anne, do you believe that there’s a place we go
When all of this is through?
‘Cause Mary-Anne, you know that I am not a man of faith
But I would follow you
‘Cause Mary-Anne, I don’t want you go
Mary-Anne
Mary-Anne
I don’t mind being wrong as long as you’re right
I don’t mind being wrong as long as you’re right
By my side tonight
By my side tonight
‘Cause Mary-Anne, I don’t want you go
Mary-Anne
I don’t mind being wrong as long as you’re right
I don’t mind being wrong as long as you’re right
I don’t mind being wrong as long as you’re right
By my side tonight
By my side tonight

Higher Than the Clouds
02:54
|

|
All of the practice for all of the shows
All of the new songs that nobody knows
All of the hard work is gonna pay off
All of the people will stand and applaud
When you’re higher than the mountains
When you’re higher than the clouds
All of the money, all of the fame
All of a sudden, well all of it came
And all of the people surround you and say
All of this time, man, we knew that someday
You’d be higher than the mountains
You’d be higher than the clouds
Higher than the mountains
Higher than the clouds
Higher than the mountains
Never coming down
All of the late nights all over the world
All of the parties and all of the girls
All of your friends start looking the other way
All of them are happy as long as you stay
Higher than the mountains
Higher than the clouds
Higher than the mountains
Never looking down
All of the hard work gets washed down the drain
By all of the hard drugs and all of the pain
And all of the people who thought you were great
All of them slowly start fading away
And you’re higher than the mountains
You’re higher than the clouds

Old Keys
03:55
|
|||
|
Stumble home, oh what a night
Stupid drunk, silly fight
Just for fun, like we do
You push me, so I push you
You crack your head upon that wall
Cue concussion protocol
Cabbed it to the hospital
Lied and said you’d had a fall
Holding on to these old keys
That don’t unlock a goddamn thing but memories
I keep them on me hanging on a ring
So I remember everything
I remember everything
Driving home, oh what a year
Out of nowhere, hit a deer
Heavy smoke, airbags off
Totalled truck, total shock
Someone dragged it off the road
Picked you up, got you home
5 AM, no one knows
Where you’ve been or where you’ll go
Holding on to these old keys
That don’t unlock a goddamn thing but memories
I keep them on me hanging on a ring
So I remember everything
I remember everything
Coming home to say goodbye
Playing Cohen’s blaze of light
Thought that he’d want Closing Time
Or So Long, Marianne, but fine
You run to grab the lyric page
From the car before you play
And in your ear or in your brain
You swear you hear him call your name
Holding on to these old keys
That don’t unlock a goddamn thing but memories
I keep them on me hanging on a ring
So I remember everything
I remember everything
I remember everything
I remember everything

White Lies
02:32
|
|||
|
It’s funny how a little bit of paper and a tan
Gives a free pass to the man
That everybody wants to be
And it’s funny how a little piece of
Everybody’s heart
Gets entangled in the darkness
And devoured by the
White lies
Is it really such a crime?
“Outta sight and outta mind”
Is what he tells the guys
When he goes out all night
Just chasing girls and long white lines
It’s funny how the little slips of memory betray
All those things he got away with
And the things that we let slide
And it’s funny how we never stopped to calculate the risk
Of defining life with myth
Defining life with
White lies
Is it really such a crime?
Well maybe we should ask his wife
Whose makeup doesn’t hide
The bruise that’s on her eye
“I wonder what she did this time.”
Lies
Lies
White lies
Is it really such a crime
To look the other way sometimes?
To let him go and drive?
“He does it all the time.
I’m sure that they will get home fine.”

In the Wild

Attention class
It’s time for school
Listen closely
We’ve got so much work to do.
Out here in the wild
Out here in the wild
First, we’ll cut your hair
Then we’ll change your clothes
Then we’ll make you use a language
No one knows
Out here in the wild
Out here in the wild
We take these kids and teach them how only God can save them now.
Then you’ll need to work and you’ll need to pray
To some god you’ve never heard of till today
Out here in the wild
Out here in the wild
And once you’ve learned a thing or two
In the evening, he’ll begin to prey on you
Out here in the wild
Out here in the wild
Out here in the wild
We take these kids and teach them how only God can save them now
Only God can save you now
Only God can save you now
Take a bow
You’re on your own now
And though these children all have names
They’ll be buried in a field of unmarked graves
Out here in the wild
Out here in the wild
Out here in the wild

Mary Anne (I'm Sorry)
03:14

Mary Anne, I hope you had a good night
Were your colleagues there? Did they treat you alright?
Well Mary Anne, it’s clear to me you’ve got into the wine
Mary Anne, I hope you had a good time
But Mary Anne, why’d you ignore my phone calls?
She rolls her eyes as she replies, “The ringer must be off.”
She drops her coat and fights to kick her heels off as I say
“Well, Mary Anne, which one of them was after you today?”
Oh, Mary Anne
Mary Anne can’t stop herself from laughing
She says that I’m a fool for even asking
So I make some shit remark like
“Every time that things get hard, you go on out and act just like your mother.”
Oh Mary Anne
Mary Anne goes rushing out the front door
A wave of guilt befalls me like I’ve never felt before
Mary Anne has left her shoes and jacket on the floor
I call, “Mary Anne, Mary Anne. I’m sorry.”
“Mary Anne, Mary Anne. I’m sorry!”
Mary Anne
Mary Anne
I catch her at the staircase
I grab her hand, but Mary Anne, she pulls herself away
Before I have the chance to say
That I was wrong, and she should stay
Mary Anne is crashing down the stairway
And I cry, “Mary Anne. Mary Anne.”

Living in Hell
03:10
|
|||
|
What a routine
Spend all day playing ‘make believe’
And every night, I try to drown my thoughts
And that old dream that I believed in once
With 36,000 tries to find one way to be immortalized
And every day, like Sisyphus, I rise and wonder why
Are we living in
Why are we living in
Why are we living in hell?
There was a time
When that same dream was keeping me alive
But I got tired and I lost sight
Of what it was that I was trying to find
Well maybe I’ll never know if I should have fought for it or let it go
I always thought that I’d have more to show
For climbing the mountain
Searching for the fountain
For bottles full of lightning
For hope never dying
If the meaning of life
Is leaving pieces of yourself behind
A little beauty for the world to find
Then why are we living in hell?

Ghost in the Wind
04:01
|
|||
|
Pass me in the street but never will our eyes meet
Never will you greet me with a smiling face
Saying “How have you been?”
Stretching out my hand for dollar or a friend
Or a reason just to stand up on my feet again
Oh, how have you been living?
Wake up, brother it’s cold out here
Can you hear me knocking?
Hear me, won’t you let me come in?
Wake up, brother it’s cold out here
Can you see me, see me, or am I just a ghost in the wind?
Just another face in a lonely, crowded space
Fighting for a place—fighting for a reason to say that life has been good
I see people everyday trying to make it to these places that they hate
Always in a hurry, always running late
Dying to make a living
Wake up, brother it’s cold out here.
Can you hear me knocking?
Hear me, won’t you let me come in?
Wake up, brother it’s cold out here.
Can you see me, see me, or am I just a ghost in the wind?
Pass me in the street (Don’t look away)
You’ll never know my name (Don’t look away)
Pass me in the street (Don’t look away)
Our eyes will never meet (Don’t look away)
Pass me in the street (Don’t look away)
You’ll never know my name
Wake up, brother it’s cold out here
Can you hear me knocking?
Hear me, won’t you let me come in?
Wake up, brother it’s cold out here
Can you see me, see me, or am I just a ghost in the wind?

Vines of Time
03:41
|
|||
|
Break free
From yourself
You’re surrounded
By your memories
Of this town
Of these people
Of your old scene
Of your friends
Of your lovers
Of your family tree
And that same old dream
The vines of time are holding you
They come up through the cracks beneath our shoes
And wrap around the soles of those who never choose to move
The vines of time are holding you
Alone at the Lyceum of your youth
Obsessing over every bad review you choose to listen to
You’ve been waiting
For a chance to repair
Every mistaken
Thing you’ve done
Each misstep
Each road you’ve taken
Has brought you back
To the same place
That you’ve always been
And that same old dream
The vines of time are holding you
Alone at the Lyceum of your youth
Obsessing over every bad review
That critic in your head believes is true
The vines of time hold like a vice
I’ve had them wrapped around me all my life
But if I could, I’ll give you some advice you’re free to take or leave
Don’t let this be end
