First Cut 04:00
Cunning are the blind ones Channels for the rhyme Visions of perfection Between the lines Weighters on my shoulders Pennies in my mouth I've borrowed from my good days In a lonely house Waiting on a misstep Look to make my move Waiting in the balance For something to prove With a tongue that sharp I could cut you right out of my heart With a mouth that smart The first cut is the hardest part Paint it in a picture Cast it in blue light Cut it from your matter Let win the quitters win the fight Sweeping up the silence when the verbal war was done Underneath the rug now It's the art of running from Waiting on a misstep Look to make my move Waiting in the balance For something to prove With a tongue that sharp I could cut you right out of my heart With a mouth that smart Cut you down part by part You're chasing dimes across the floor Somehow they mean so much more Can anybody know Why we're nose to nose in the snow With a tongue that sharp I could cut you right out of my heart With a mouth that smart Cut you down part by part

Fade 04:03
You've got a good mouth for talkin' don't you? When you want to make me care for you They always said I had good legs for walkin' But I just sit and stare while you Fade left fade right Fade out completely Without all this noise I could sing so sweetly You think your compliments complete me The way you dole them out like currency I've got all the goods I need deep down I've tuned my ear to hear every little sound Silence is the only noise worth hearing Between the notes so lonesome and weary Soak up the sound of the pin while its dropping It's only heard when we stop all this talking Fade left fade right Fade out completely Without all this noise I could sing so sweetly

Worry 04:15
It could all be so easy Water rolling down the hill Lets put our cards on the table Find some shoes we can fill You know you want to If we put down our burdens Drop our pennies in the well We will get there right on time Rest our bones for a spell You know you want to Don't say a prayer for what you don't want Your worries they may never be Chasing paper chasing songs All along the same thing Creature of comforts you're twisting My arm back to what I know Pack it up with the quickness now These Seeds of change are gonna grow Little fire in my heart The burn that just won't let me be Take the picture behind my eyes Already reality You know you want to Don't say a prayer for what you don't want Your worries they may never be Chasing paper chasing songs All along the same thing I want you alone where we belong

Watery dreams and bicycle schemes I ride on a wing and a wheel Body is weak but the mind is keen It only matters how I feel This little bird is gonna fly fly fly Fantastic fortunes in my pretty little eye I pick you up and I dust off the ground Buckets of beautiful to go around Faces melt like a tired window pane When we are older the light inside must reign It's the years in between where we incubate our dreams Wake up one morning and nothing's as it seems Chorus Don't you listen to a word I say By my own volition I have gone astray I burned the map and now I wander to my grave Chorus

Colors 03:53
Float on the River Take it right to the sea With every tide My ship's coming closer to me Golden circles Round an emerald eye All I'm hearing from you How high honey pie Rose colored glasses Turned from dark ebony Now it's all washed away Don't you know that nothing's for free Grey grey day There's a flood on the floor They're all crying like dogs They can't see in color no more We found a new room with a view All of the colors there Have a different hue Golden circles Round an emerald eye All I'm hearing from you How high honey pie How high How high honey pie We found a new room with a view All of the colors there Have a different hue How high How high We found a new room with a view All of the colors there Have a different hue

Further 04:27
Further down the road I guess we'll go Further down the road I guess we'll go Too fast too slow better not to know Everyone we meet passing through Everyone we meet just passing through I guess we always knew we were walking in solitude Nobody's gonna hold my hand Holding hands is like holding sand Growing up it feels like giving in Growing up it feels like giving in You can't run from the skin you were meant to be living in Nobody's gonna hold my hand Holding hands is like holding sand Further down the road I guess we'll go
