Nightlife 04:16
Oh my god what a delicate mess not to bring up a topic so prying Hold my hands throw a nail at the clock and I'll never go home, how exciting! Bright flash, what was that? I lost my disguise can we start it again without lighting Last call hit the wall and throw up your ride now it's time to go home, oh how frightening! Back up, how did I get into this mess? If I say I don't know I'd be lying Hold that door get me out in the night and I'll never go home, how exciting! Wellll put on your face go out in the night what you get is what you find in the show The nightlife glow That's how it goes in the nightlife show Wake up almost time to open the blinds can you tell me if you see a fire? Caught out back blank look in your eyes with your face staring up at the lighter Oh my god what a delicate mess not to bring up a topic so prying Hold that door get me out in the night and i'll never go home, oh how frightening! Well put on your best suit Go out in the night what you seek is what you'll find in the show The nightlife glow That's how it goes in the nightlife show Go outside and make your call You never have to be afraid Just have someone that you can call You'll never have to be afraid That's how it goes The nightlife glow That's how it goes in the nightlife show That's how it goes The nightlife glow That's how it goes

So you're free from the night With cracked eyes and poison strains Big sky unmoving trains Offline and stuck in place Before you get too far...I see you walking OH Where do you walk when you're walking on a straight line? How do you talk when you're talking on your own time? What do you see when you're seeing what you saw last night look down but stand upright And you never ask why But good god we shouldn't try Too much to kill that light Offhand and out of sight Before I reach the door...I see you walking OH Who do you hear when you're hearing someone out there? What do you take when you know it's just a short fare? What do you see when you're seeing what you saw last night Look down but stand upright OH Where do you walk when you're walking on a straight line? How do you talk when you're talking on your own time? Who do you hear when you're hearing someone out there? What do you take when you know it's just a short fare? Where do you walk when you're walking on a straight line? How do you talk when you're talking on your own time? Why do you turn when you turn? well maybe you don't know it's all just in my head

Out of Wit 03:37
Here it goes... We never wanted to know What becomes of the dying cold But now we want to break the mold Now it's gone... I only wanted to see What you make of a flying leaf How it twists unnaturally I ran out of wit cause I ran out of time How can you say that it wasn't aligned? Faced with the endless choices We push ourselves just enough to climb Here it goes... The fire's burning the fields And of the trees that didn't yield None agreed to stay concealed Now it's gone... I only wanted to see What you make of a flying leaf How it twists unnaturally I ran out of wit cause I ran out of time How can you say that it wasn't aligned? Faced with the endless choices We push ourselves just enough to climb I know that I left without saying a word How could I stay there? I knew that it worked How do you make these choices? We push ourselves just enough to climb

The poison lake Way after its healthy days It sits and turns Each day Covered in a greenish haze It's always awake Wide-eyed and brittle Come on share the sunlight Make up a riddle Just to watch the hours Pass and go watching the poison lake It never shakes So content to sit with grace But it's never missed All day Can we just sit and stay And watch the lake? Come back to meet me Me meet in the meadow We'll walk together Stop at every riddle Never go watching the poison lake We don't have to go in We can watch the moonlight Though it's not exciting I'm here because I like it Stay don't go watching the poison lake

The ice age is thawing out for good, I'm saying The trees are coming in and the roses are singing I'm the loudest one, the only son, I'll make amends with everyone The lights dim, fade in, the room starts shaking The cobwebs trip me up and I start singing I'm the loudest one, the only son In the rat's nest I am everyone No clue, lost a shoe, I know I'm paying The cobwebs, broken up, and now I'm singing I'm the loudest one, the only son I'm so forgetful of that one The ice age is thawing out for good, I'm saying The trees are coming in and the roses are singing I'm the loudest one, the only son, In the rat's nest I am everyone Honestly, my hands aren't free but it's nothing to do with me Running around, we're running around, I've got no time to be The rat's nest would never know If you're coming up short The rat's nest would never know If you want to abort

Take a walk on Twisted Path No intentions just relax See the stars jump in the night Feel the warmth of the nightlife Leave the cars to crash and fight Write a song to fill the time Remember when remember why? It felt so weird just to be alive Enjoy the feeling, while it's strong Enjoy the feeling, while we're young Twisted Path you right my wrongs (just) Don't convince me when I'm gone (I) Can't create when I'm inspired So I say So Long Goodbye Enjoy the feeling, while it's strong Enjoy the feeling, while we're young

10,000 Hours 03:20
We used to ride like hoses in a fire Cornering an evergreen i missed that you had lied lying about this or that i can't even recall So now i think that maybe I shouldn't be making laws But by the time I caught my breath I noticed you had gone I can't control it I wish I had new rules Then I'd control it Then I would make new rules But you provoke it And I need something new Label after label you impress Or at least that's how I picture dealing with the press 'Cause I always knew that one day you would have some worth Even though in time we couldn't make it work And everytime i take a drive i think of where you'd gone I can't control it I wish I had new rules Then I'd control it Then I would make new rules But you provoke it And I need something new Oh what an unrelenting mess I've come across Dragging every pile in its wake Should I even bother cleaning up all of the sewage Cake my feet with dirt and foul mistakes Even if it takes 10,000 hours I will throw my hat into the ring I can't control it I wish I had new rules Then I'd control it Then I would make new rules But you provoke it And I need something new

Bad Days 03:49
I hear the words so loud They're spilling out Too fast I missed a line It's gone, goodbye, farewell I hope it didn't mean that much to you You talk and talk and talk (but) you've got nothing to say So say away I don't want to cross a line But I said bye I hope that is alright But who am I to blame? I never ever let you have your way I wish that we could all just sit and stay And talk about our bad days

Sparks 04:58
I feel fine But something's in the air A restless find That you never really know If it's there But I know...It's there... But I know it's far Far enough to ignore I see it go. I see it coming out And I see what it does to you And what it will Do to me... But I feel fine And that's how I'm gonna be Restless find... It's coming for me Through the forest, through the fields, through the cities, to me

Closing Song 06:43
Remember how we used to run across the poison lake? Wait till it's frozen then be quick about it And then you took a step too far - We thought that we lost your leg After that day we didn't run anymore Take little steps and keep your eye on the door But maybe that's not how it's supposed to be Do what we want as long as we don't freeze And everybody tellls me these are my golden years That it only goes downhill from here I don't ever want to wake up with a wasted life We want to live With no mistakes No more doubt Impossible stakes But once you run There's no coming back So stick around And just relax
