To all the lost in their old civilizations... They’re all cryin’. They’re all prayin’. What are they sayin’? It's amazing.

V1. I’m sentimental and it’s only eleven fourty-five.
Eight solid drinks down and I’m about to drive.
Does anybody else have the memory in their head?
V2. …and I am indifferent. Incredibly unbiased.
The latter forgets you, but the past remembers us.
The future holds true that you absent minded this.
Does anybody else have that memory in their head?

V1. There is no one here.
The sound of dust fills our ears.
The sting of sulfur was in the air.
Stepped outside our fuel-injected mare.
V2. Eight times I asked.
Still no one was there.
Liam asked me to relax.
Just outside our fuel-injected mare.
Chorus
How did you fall away?
Completely out of grace.
V3. This must come to pass.
The question that I never did ask.
I realize exactly where we’re at.
Back inside our fuel-injected mare.

A Means To An End

V1. Find me here something strong.
Nothing’s gone against the wall.
Find me here, nothing at all.
I am coming. Hear me coming?
Chorus
This is it. Could this be it?
Seriously…does anything here make any sense?
My state of mind, tends to make me tense.
V2. Hush my dear, just shush my dear.
Nothing’s wrong, calm down. Come here.
Remember your words? Yes, they were strong.
I am leaving. Can’t you see I’m leaving?
Repeat Chorus
V3. Find me here something strong.
Nothing’s gone against the wall.
Find me here, nothing at all.
I am reaching. Can’t you see I’m trying.
Repeat Chorus

Dead Bones, Live Shame

V1. Life runs circles around my body and I’m failing to…
Life runs circles around my body and I’m faded too.
V2. Life’s a bad game.
Dead bones and live shame
'Til the day’s through.
I found a long way home.
V3. Life runs circles around my body and I'm failing to...
I found a long way home.
Chorus
Anything you ask, I already know.
I am not your friend and this is not a show.
Everything I have is everything I own.
I will always reap and you will always sow.
I am not your friend and this is not a show.
Anything you ask about my life, I will show you the things I choose to leave out.
