Travel Song 05:39
I’m packing very light For a three AM train ride To see a friend, take a tour or two And if my calculations are right Its been too long since I’ve seen you And too long since I’ve loved anyone Since I’ve loved anyone Nothing much has changed Except I’ve slightly aged And missed a couple flights Avoiding every stage Avoiding all that’s right The locomotive makes it ‘round As I move through aching towns Tomorrow’s here, it’s not here for them Surrounded by those you love What a foreign concept: Unfamiliar streets and strangers That’s more like it Does she look the same? And did she change her name? Is her brother doing fine? Is she still playing games? Still just killin’ time? She was a wanderer A wayward hitchhiker Who stumbled straight into my home The timing was wrong so she didn’t stay long In the morning she left me alone As each day passes, I forget her face All I’ll remember is her shape

I think one day a few summers back I may have had a heart attack One quiet morning, while in the woods As I laid in the grass, head in my hood I think I hit my head on a rock At the bottom of a stream My family must’ve had quite a shock When they realized

18 Years 08:16
Air was humid and your tongue was dry 18 years in a blink of an eye Sky was gray and your shoes were worn Happiness is an eye in the storm One more year of waiting One more thing to hold onto Still unsatisfied, waiting for the eye Air was humid and your tongue was dry 18 years and you’re barely alive One more year of waiting One more year to hold onto Still unsatisfied, unsatisfied, unsatisfied One more year of waiting One more year to hold onto Still unsatisfied, unsatisfied, unsatisfied

The streetlights around me are dim As you stare out to an ocean with him Oh, and the waves and the warmth are so inspiring I can only imagine places so far away from me The sea salted air feels so nice As you stare out, strong, full of life While the wind wisps through your hair You quietly and powerfully don’t care And in the dark and the silent streets I’m a stranger to myself and to those that I meet What I knew is what I know So I can’t be surprised, this is how you’d go What I knew is what I know So I can’t be surprised, this is how you’d go And as the cars pass me by Pollutes the light and the stars in the sky And as they go to their works and their homes I quietly and feebly feel alone

Strangers 05:45
Restlessness and self-oathing Propagates a deeper wound Fever dreams of the city Permeating through my skull Questioning my decision Living day to day on second guess Motioning through the American Nightmare With nowhere left to run Family keeps disappearing One day they won’t be there to hear you cry While those you thought you knew are busy living One by one, by one, by one, your heroes die What’s left?

Shame 05:03
The last joke That you told me didn’t use a single word Instead, a gesture – a smile That carried on for miles Something broke In that moment I would do away with hope I drown in daydreams, you’re there Every time, every time It’s a shame that it happens But it happens all the time, all the time Just don’t read in between the lines You don’t think it will happen But it happens all the time, all the time Just didn’t think it would be mine In the crowd Through commotion, and the voices crying out I saw you standing, you smiled Did you see me, I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know It’s a shame that it happens But it happens all the time, all the time Just don’t read in between the lines You don’t think it will happen But it happens all the time, all the time Just didn’t think it would be mine I drove around the other day Down past the buildings where you used to stay At least it might have been Hard to recall where anything begins Just retracing my steps Through the place that you left In this town of unrest I’m no longer a guest

Dashboard 03:32
So many dreams, so much raw ambition Rain covers the windshield as you make a decision In this world that I love In this world of reaction In this world that defeats you Still we search for a passion Momma went searching Daddy stayed home Big brother found love And you are alone In this sky without clouds In this storm without rain A life without love Is a life without pain My head on the dashboard My mind is in space ‘Shoulda had more to drink ‘Fore I left for your place My head on the dashboard My mind is in space ‘Shoulda had more to drink ‘Fore I left for your place

Arrival Song 05:32
Nine aching hours without the sunshine Too many years since the downpour Factory smoke corroding the skyline Assembling a pathway to your door Playing in my head how I would greet you I must’ve had that thought a thousand times I knew that I was ready, ‘till I saw you Bringing with you, all the fear I left behind Like a ruby-tinted stove-top On which a naïve child rests their hands Plainly unaware that it will burn me A pain that I have yet to understand The station was crowded And there I was, waiting For judgement from those passing by Saxophones ring for a lady who sings As my only way forward arrives I was a wanderer, not too much unlike her In ways I could never have known No good things last Now I’m lost in the past On a six am train ride back home I’m going home To the unknown

Alarm 03:59
Hard to decide What to do now? Fill in the spaces? Find you a crowd? Take a couple pictures Make the day stop And beware the front lens (Or you’ll be in focus) Start a new thing Try a new food Count every raindrop Think about you Crumble your to-do list Mute your alarm Losing all focus (No one will notice)
