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
|
|
||
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

|

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
|
|
||
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
|
|
||
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
|
|
||
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
|
|
||
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
|
|||
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
|
|
||
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
|
|
||
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
|

11. |
Crazy
03:42
|
|
||
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
|
||||
12. |
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
|
||||
13. |
Satellites
03:34
|
|||
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

Nashville, Mexico
04:24
|
|||
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
|
||||
15. |
Over and Over
03:41
|
|||
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
|
||||
16. |
I Don't Want To
02:28
|
|||
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
|

Say My Name
05:01
|
|||
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
|
||||
18. |
Time
03:29
|
|||
I’ve looked near and I looked far
never seemed to find a heart
a heart that fits around my own
a heart that calls my house a home
seasons come and seasons go
winter chills us to the bone
she believes in passing time
I believe that she’ll be mine
I’ve got all the time in the world
I’ve got all the time in the world
I’m counting down the weeks until
I know you're my girl
I’ve got all the time in the world
she’s been slowing drifting out
on a ship that I can’t slow down
but nothing big can tear us up
I give my all till it's enough
I’ve got all the time in the world
I’ve got all the time in the world
I’m counting down the weeks until
I know you're my girl
I’ve got all the time in the world

Black Mirror
03:36
|
|||
there are days on end
where I don’t leave the house
there's an endless ocean where
I can lose myself
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
there's a space so large
no one can see its walls
we built upon it cities in hopes it
it will never falls
we don’t mind
we don’t mind
black mirror am i enough
built an altar, lifted you up
come on and answer me
we fix our eyes to stare into
your stars
you always leave us
wanting more
there's a roof so high
no one reach its top
we shot our rockets upwards
and they will never stop
we don’t mind
we don’t mind
black mirror am i enough
built an altar, lifted you up
come on and answer me
we fix our eyes to stare into
your stars
you always leave us
wanting more

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
|
||||
21. |
Go On
03:59
|
|||
I have never loved you
like you wanted me to
She said, Somewhere down the road
there’s a heart waiting for
There’s no use pretending
we’re oak not pine
We so scared of
we waste our time
Go on
get out of my heart
get our of my mind
go on
get out of my head
get out of my life
I have a worn a mask
ever since I was young
Nothing ever lifts it
and I will never know when it's done
She said, There’s no use in fighting
for something real
We’re standing on the edge of love
never in its fields
Go on
get out of my heart
get our of my mind
go on
get out of my head
get out of my life
|

22. |
Vacation
04:20
|
|||
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
|
||||
23. |
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
|
||||
24. |
Me and You
04:16
|
|||
LIsten here , no son of mine
will ever marry a girl with such a name
Round these parts my word is law
bring her in this house and we’ll be shamed
I take a bit to take it in and
what comes out my mouth was nothing good
pretty soon, you’re in the ground and
no one misses you words, they come unbound
How can this be our story
we got nothing to lose
Let’s find some place to settle
Just me and you
just two kids in different parts of
a town divided up into a war
no one wants to say a thing cause love
cause love will find a way to rule them all
|
||||
25. |
Up in the Air
03:27
|
|||
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
|
||||
26. |
On Fire
03:12
|
|||
It's all
a waking dream we’re fighting
all the fires we’re lighting
inside of our minds
I know
where you keep the matches
turn the world to ashes
whenever you want
Set it all on fire
set it all on fire
I’ll watch this city burn
reflected in your eyes
we thought
we would join the masses
entertain the madness
the death knell of love
we heard it ringing out
around us
completely surround us
falling down like doves
|
||||
27. |
Write Off
03:15
|
|||
everyone has that day
where they don’t do a thing
step back from the ocean of life
watch the waves roll in
while everyone just swims
they just stand there late into the night
and it feels like cheating
to get away
to get away
so easy
so easy
This is my write off
this is my write off
cashing in my chips to get some sleep
This is my write off
this is my write off
throwing out some words like throwing seeds
midnight comes around
earlier on some days
and rushes past like a bullet whizzing by
the face of every clock
spins and never stops
there's nothing we can do but try
|
||||
28. |
Blame
02:41
|
|||
She sees a rainy day
I see a chance play
we hide in separate rooms
she watches tv shows
I blast the radio
to run the silence away
Call me lazy or call me out
Call the fire from heaven down
Let’s use words instead looks
cause looks are enough this time
We only got ourselves to blame
for all this mess you find us in
If we could spin the clocks back around
I’m sure we’d make this mess again
|
||||
29. |
Help Me
02:25
|
|||
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
