Call Me Out 74 BPM Verse 1 I’ve seen mercy, in the heart of anger I’ve seen fire, in the hearts of men I’ve seen danger, and I’ve felt nothing nothing matters when your shut in Prechorus It's like a rush of blood to the head it's like I’m seeing things for the first time Chorus Call me out, Call me out Tell me what this all is about Call me out, Call me out Tell me what this fight is about Just call me Verse 2 life and living, their like a highway full of passing cars, and passing towns You’ve seen something, which scares you senseless You won’t open, or let your walls down Chorus Call me out, Call me out Tell me what this all is about Call me out, Call me out Tell me what this fight is about Just call me Bridge So tell me I’ve been missing the point The part where I’m supposed to be everything you need and more So tell me I’ve been missing the mark The part where I am careful.... The part where I am gracious The part where I am kind to your heart The part where I am kind to your heart Chorus Call me out, Call me out Tell me what this all is about Call me out, Call me out Tell me what this fight is about Just call me

Into the Grey 03:12
lyrics
Whether we’re nervous About our chances Of being able to be seen as anything Whether we’re faithful to what we swore to we end up breaking down some day Let’s all pretend we’re fine Without the scars we hide hurt ourselves to fall Into the grey again Let’s all hold hands and sigh another day gone by with booze and pills to fall Into the grey again We never meant to Become such monsters Who take advantage of anything at all It's always been you To be the best review And hold our hands as we fall asleep

Nothing 03:42
lyrics
A river bed An open field I wish I had so much to see A desk and screen some carpeting all hide the world from me give me air to breathe sky to see this all I have and man it feels like I’m drowning How do I sing about nothing cause nothing’s what I feel a heart that’s missing happiness is heart that's breaking Why can’t I make the thoughts I need to say the things I should i wish I could I wish I could the day to day gets in the way I’m living just for the night All my thoughts get stuck inside never wrong but that don’t make it right give me air to breathe sky to see this all I have and man it feels like I’m drowning

Wrong/Right 04:09
lyrics
Playing it close to the chest is not for everyone Out of sight out of mind Leaves no one to love And we were made to live and love and learn and grow and see how the best could be It’s easy to be, wrong when it feels so right when you distance yourself from all the hurt that you’ve kept outta sight Calling it what you prefer Doesn’t change a thing The absence of help must reflect a lack of empathy And we were made to live and love and help and hold and see how the best could be It's easy to be, right Made of oak or pine If we test the timber of our hearts It will surely break mine

Something 03:34
lyrics
On the playground good guys versus bad told I’d be a leader of men but I never got the grades and slipped beneath the waves hoped I’d have chance again I made choices and choose to be selfish I said I’d move away to find some work I thought I’d own the firm but only toiled the earth man I swore, I was gonna be something Everyday the sun comes up shines down and everyday it sets just the same and I sit and watch it from my front porch I swore I was gonna be something oh desire it burns for some of us for others it's just a pilot light you only know its there when it disappears and hope to God it safely returns man the radio is singing its song I can hear calling calling me out but I just turn it down but I just turn it down

You Can See It 03:44
lyrics
Guess I landed on my feet, much to my surprise it's always in the back of my mind count the rings, count our promises, probably about the same oh man, just don’t count the lies All in a day's work we’re all in daze spinning round a ferris wheel hidden in a maze we were made to be so much more than this you can see it in our eyes, you can see it in our eyes we were made to be so much more than this you can see it in our eyes, you can see it there paint the room and paint our calluses, wore out as they are depends on where we set the bar sticks and stones can fill the gaps where we, chose to keep our words keep our mouth shut as before All in a day's work we’re all in daze spinning round a ferris wheel hidden in a maze we were made to be so much more than this you can see it in our eyes, you can see it in our eyes we were made to be so much more than this you can see it in our eyes, you can see it there

Midas 04:12
lyrics
I still taste the salt of poverty and the bitter earth I’m so far from where I grew up no more work I’ve got it made in the shade like a kingdom of old, but my wealth I never stole I’ve got the world at my fingertips and I’m about to turn it to gold These hands will be the end of me all I love into gold these prayers are taken terribly I want take it back take it back, no no no I still hear the screams of family I can feel their hurt I still see where my daughter stood when I made her turn I’ve got it made in the shade like a kingdom of old, but my wealth I never stole I’ve got the world at my fingertips and I’m about to turn it to gold These hands will be the end of me all I love into gold these prayers are taken terribly I want take it back take it back, no no no it’s not a dream you’ve been looking for it's a curse in disguise it’s not a dream you’ve been looking for it's a curse in disguise

Pretend 03:44
lyrics

So why is everything you write like your last breath cold and hard to bear Cause I think we are born into this brokenness all need some repair maybe I want to feel this way to keep myself from getting fooled again fooled again I don’t wanna see this world for anything more than what it is we aren’t good at keeping friends or promises I don’t wanna live this life thinking I can take it with me when I go When I go yea we are a broken foggy mirror only showing what is barely there maybe i feel this way to remind myself I don’t want to pretend that I know what I’m doing I’m scared of doing more harm than good I take comfort in knowing I’m not the first one here and I won’t be last one

How do we go on 03:49
lyrics
when the earth gave out and the sea dried up we were forced to pack our lives and move away so we found a boat made of splinters and tears crossed this ocean we know for a land we don’t how do we go on from here how do we go on from here when my son was born i did what I know I named after the men who came before me and when he grows up I hope that he knows there another place out there to call his home how do we go on from here how do we go on from here everything we know is half the world away we are foreigners in a foreign land foreigners in a foreign land I will plant my roots down here by the ocean so I can look out towards my home Its nice to know the sea is the same one that I know and watch the sun rise instead of watching the sun set over the sea watching the sun set over the sea watching the sun set over the sea watching the sun set over the sea

Run Away 03:57
lyrics
The dust blows up and blocks the sun out off in the distance something's moving in all the windows in town are boarded up Nothing good is blowing in on the wind I’ve got half a mind to scream out loud but it's not worth the pain somewhere in the back of head I hear you better run away the beggar on the corner has got a bag of weed and wad of ones in his other hand thumbing for a ride out of this scene going broke ain’t never what you planned I’ve got half a mind to scream out loud but it's not worth the pain somewhere in the back of head I hear you better run away somehow the grocery store is shut down and people manage to find a meal the dinner on corner is moving elsewhere inside the church the pastor kneels I’ve got half a mind to scream out loud but it's not worth the pain somewhere in the back of head I hear you better run away

Crazy 03:42
lyrics
I’m getting tired of losing my mind losing sleep every single night I turn the television on and search for hours in a dream, like I’m crazy it's like the tide on my radio rushing in real fast fading slow Watching her in my rearview is the worst part, we all know They think i’m crazy its harder than it seems I’m going crazy tearing out all the seams life’s like a train runnin’ outta control straight to the brain when you’re getting cold the tickets checker’s strutting and punching everybody’s cards, like he’s crazy They think i’m crazy its harder than it seems I’m going crazy tearing out all the seams

Exit Here 02:36

how did we lose ourselves to think that we broke the mold to think that we alone are worthy when did our hearts get cold how did we lose our dreams or did we lose them at all maybe they just drifted away when did our hearts get cold there's a sign at the end of the highway there's a warning that rings out clear there's a sign out where the road is ending exit here

Satellites 03:34
lyrics

It’s quiet here without the sun it's like this city banished everyone all along the edge of where the ocean meets the lands there's a fleeting sense that all of this will end the mountains meet the sky and stars the silence is a prison without bars but you can scream forever never to be heard just your voice floating out in the world No one's gonna steal my steal my stars No one's gonna steal my satellites it's like the earth is speaking without words the sky becomes a backdrop begging to be heard all around the edge of where nothing's ness is found lot of something is buried in the ground No one's gonna steal my steal my stars No one's gonna steal my satellites

I went down to Nashville in a hurry man I went down to nashville in a hurry In my 1940 Ford I was blowing off the doors when I went down to Nashville in hurry I’ve been digging holes to pay my rent I’ve been digging holes to pay my rent I won't take that swill but I gotta pay the bills I’ve been digging holes to pay my rent I drove up the road to see my lady I drove up the road to see my lady She went upstate to hide, I’m starting to lose my mind I drove up the road to see my lady Policeman called me up to bring my in Policeman called me up to bring my in I’ve been behind those bars, where you can’t see those stars Policeman called me up to bring my in So I’m rolling down the highway on the bus So I’m rolling down the highway on the bus I heading down the coast somewhere in Mexico So I’m rolling down the highway on the bus there's a little part of us that hides inside of our minds which tells us we are better than those other stupid guys we pour out all our insides just for a chance to say goodbye

Another indian summer dried up most of the river packed it’s bags and headed up down the coast call off the cronies cat-callers and show-me’s build your house with those you love the most we are holding this sheet grasping it tightly trying to keep the thing from flying away Over and over I make mistakes There's no proof I’m not insane Look in my eyes and tell me that you don’t have a word to say a word to say Of all the ways to go out nothing beats a show down between two hearts which never had a clue no one wants the heartache to deal with all the heartbreak maybe deep down we all really do

I’m pulling up blanks like pulling out roses hurts every time I’ve got rows and rows of boxes and shelving in the back of my mind and feels like everyone of them is empty and nothing seems to come out right I don’t want to do this tonight I don’t want to do this tonight I’ve been banging on the table where I’ve been fighting hurts every time I’ve been getting angry at the man in the mirror that blank look of mine and feels like everything is empty and nothing seems to come out right I don’t want to do this tonight I don’t want to do this tonight

She’s still waits on a telephone call Taking all her meals out by her window I’m still driving these lonely city streets spinning both my wheels and getting cold you could say we’re a mess a black cloud in blue jeans you could blame it on stress but that would be boring Say my name we don’t have cross this wilderness alone We’ll be safe crawling across this great expanse of unknown She’s been meaning to move far away Find some place that's always warm I’m still driving these lonely city streets I’m still driving straight through the storm…. we like breaking glass and tearing up the road never had a parking pass to tear up another home

The Attic 03:57

The storm brought down all the trees Causing a leak that lasted for days I hid our boxes of pain no one remembers when nothing remains bottles of coins saved for such a day clothes we hate but can’t throw away The things that we hide in the attic the pictures of ghosts from our past boxes of memories we’ll never open trinkets too cheap to last So how do we find some peace of mind strike an accord with all of the pain in these boards so how do we call this house a home when always above our heads are lingering ghosts

when I close my eyes I hear the beat of this busy city and it’s run down streets in the wisp of the clouds that land on our heads in the morning I gotta get going I need a long vacation or just to move away I wanna find somebody who remembers my name oh there's gotta be some place to go a place where no one knows me I have made mistakes and I’ll make more Breaking mirrors off the wall smashing dishes off the floor in the wisp of what was good that leaves from our mouths when we’re angry I gotta get going I need a long vacation or just to move away I wanna find somebody who remembers my name oh there's gotta be some place to go a place where no one knows me

Give Up 04:32

I’ve thrown out all my fourth place medals they don’t even shine at that point cleaned up my dusty mantle packed away these temporary joys in little boxes I’ll never ever open stacked away in a musty room fleeting thoughts of fading moments traded in for something new I might as well give up, give up I’m not made of metal barely have a heart Give up, Give up, All the dials tell me I should I should I’ll thrown out all my losing battles it's not worth getting battered or bruised spend my summers sitting on the side lines or watching highlights coming on the new

My arms are getting tired of spinning plates all day and my eyes are getting heavy singing myself to sleep Call it as you see it call it off or call it in there’s no point in fighting when no one evers wins there's no sense of emergency here just static hanging around our heads there’s no room for sympathy here we find some time to sleep when we’re dead All up in the air all up in the air no one wants to be there when it all comes crashing down so one by they run out never making a sound Call it as you see it call it off or call it in there’s no point in fighting when no one evers wins

So here we are down at the wire where our hearts are stretching thin here we stand worn out and threadbear hoping all our work was really worth it now we know how we are made held together with sticks and leaves but here we stand puffed out chests and all full of hope and yet still pitiful help me believe it was worth it all these blinders keep me from seeing help me to feel like it means something to pour yourself out time and again time and again
