01. Sure You Will

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
First
I bit you and spit you out
When there was a doubt
Now
I'm calling you when I can
What is a man?

I did it my way
I did it my way
I did it my way on the highway highway

Be yourself
By yourself
Get yourself a little green pasture
Keep yourself
To yourself
Save yourself
Sure you will sure you will sure

Give take
Crowd control
Can get in my way when I'm starting my day
Teamwork
Self-control
Was making me blue so I knew what I had to

Did it my way
I did it my way
I did it my way on the highway highway

Be yourself
By yourself
Drive yourself a little bit faster
Keep yourself
To yourself
Sure you will sure you will sure

02. Free

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
Last man to the bottom
Last man to the bottom
Last man to the bottom
I consider myself free

Run run run outside
Keep your head uncovered
Get that kid outside
Are you out of your mind?
You're free!

Watch your mouth
And watch your television
If something don't look right
Dial 1 800 YOU'RE FREE

Free
You're Free

Run run run outside
Get your hair colored
Hang that thing outside
Are you out of your mind?
You're free!

Watch the sky
And yell at television
If something don't look right
Dial 1 800 YOU'RE FREE

Free
You're Free

03. Go

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
On the first day
I set the scene on a magazine
And now I hurt someone
In the next scene
I cracked the code of the episode
And now I'm having fun

In a house
In the mountains
There's a way to fall asleep
And I know when I find it
I will let this go

I can still feel my hope twitch
Crushed by the force of chromosomes
It's a trail map to a bear trap
Separating poor torn camouflage

Under house
Under water
Lay your wing-clipped history
And I know
When I find it
I will let this go

04. All Gone Now

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
Well said in my head
Dumb it down
Well screamed that was mean
Put it down
If this is all you can look for the door

But it's all gone now
It's all gone now
It's all gone now
Now it's all gone

Full stream this machine
Down the track
No tread loose your head
Put it back
And when it stalls we can walk home alone

But it's all gone now
It's all gone now
It's all gone now
Now it's all gone

This one
This one here is starting to open
Open up inside of you

Listen
Listen here
It's already talking and talking

This one
This one here
Is already folding over up inside of you

This one
This one is falling and falling

Well said in my head
Dumb it down
Well screamed that was mean put it down
If this is all you can look for the door

But it's all gone now
It's all gone now
It's all gone now
Now it's all gone

05. Home Was Good

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
Go on ahead
Your story is just where you left it
Go on ahead
But I still can't believe you can't help it

Ninety-five percent
Happen in the home
Swallowed by the bed
Caught in the phone
Hammering the walls
Sleepwalking falls
Overstepping out
Haunting the halls

Go on ahead
Go on ahead

06. Bigger Wave

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
First think of a name
OK
Try to keep it the same
All day
Now go over your lines
Relax
And get in the character
Now open an eye
Nice try
Put a foot on the floor
One more
'Cause we're going live in 5...
4...
Get in the character

I was thinking we could walk on water
And still find reasons to swim inside
Now I'm worried there's a bigger wave
Just behind this one
I was thinking there's a bigger wave
Just behind this one

07. Kicking

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
Four times
Last night
I was on the visitor's side
And I know you felt it
Deep end
Three A.M.
And if it rings again
I think I'm gonna break it
Again again

Don't start telling me
Love is a symphony
Point that phone at the floor
Sure
You can fire anyone else in our neighbourhood
Haven't we've been through this before?

That's my bedroom door you're kickin'
Kickin'
Kickin'
Kickin'

For star sanity
Trapped on a memory
Trapped under water and coal
We drift like refugees
Tossed 'round-roughly
And scream at the border control
It's easy

Just start kickin'
Kickin'
Kickin'
Kickin'

Don't start telling me love is a symphony
Don't start telling me love is a symphony
Don't start telling me love is a symphony
Don't start telling me love is a symphony

08. Better

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
Things got better when you left
Your friends always say that
But I think you better check
Your leaving member contract
You don't get to say
You don't get to say goodbye

And I don't want to be the one
But I could try

Things got better when you left
I hang my hat upon it
People say I'm somewhere else
What's so sad about it?
Even though it means
Even though it means goodbye

And I don't want to be the one
I don't want to be the one here
I don't want to be the one
But I could try

You're not talking
And I'm not talking
The dog's not talking
And no one is talking at all
When you're home
No bark in the street
No bark in the yard
No bark in the house
Next bark is a sound of my own
War for peace

Things got better when you left
So tell your friends about it
I'll just sing it to myself
'Till I can live without it
Even though it means
Even though it means goodbye

And I don't want to be the one
I don't want to be the one here
I don't want to be the one
But I could try

09. Simple Life

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
I want a color TV
And a newspaper blocking the door
I want a credit card key
And a new phone book on the floor
I want a getaway map of the hallway
I want a birdseye view of the Hyundai
So I can sleep sleep sleep
Or maybe I'll just sit in the car

But here there's no silence silence
There's no silence silence
Best thing is keep singing
(So simple, life)

I want a colorform theme
And a vending machine down the hall
I want a ready-made bed
And a passport safe in the wall
I want to have it just the way I couldn't give it
I want a life that lives the way we couldn't live it
So I can sleep sleep sleep
Or maybe I'll just sit in the car

But here there's no silence silence
There's no silence silence
Best thing is keep singing
(So simple, life)

10. Once

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
(once)
I didn't know you
But I saw your trash on the curb
(once)
I'd sit there and watch it
But I couldn't find any words
(now)
I think I found them
Turns out you've got some words of your own
(now)
Let's try to hide them for
(once)
This story
This story

(once)
You name the questions and
Ill try to hum back the words
(once)
They'll see it our way when
We promise no one gets hurt
(now)
Let's visualize it again
We'll write it right off the page
(now)
Feels so imaginary
(once)
This story
This story

(once)
You look so happy together
(once)
You seem so happy together
(now)
This story's falling
It's falling
(now)
This story (once) keeps falling down

(once)
You look so happy together
(once)
You seem so happy together
(now)
This story's over
It's over
(now)
This story (once) keeps falling down

11. Our Town

Music by Jim Matheos, Kevin Moore
Lyrics by Kevin Moore
OK hey I'm going outside
You can put the plate back on the shelf
And it's cold though the snow isn't falling
The neighbor can speak for itself

And the cold hard look in your eyes
Is more than a line in the sand
When the truth gets hard to imagine
The hours get harder to stand

He's a seasick terminal passenger
Singing this song to himself
'Till the store bought soul on his skeleton
Sinks into somebody else

He's a see saw
Calm in the storm
A hurricane after the war
When he drinks all blood you can offer
He still wants more

Landing planes
And rumbling trains
Are shaking the ground in our town again

Thought it twice
And kicking the ice
I got turned back around and singing
Everything's gonna be fine
I'm sure that we'll both be

OK hey I'm backing outside
Just put the plate back on the shelf
And it's cold though the snow isn't falling
The temperature speaks for itself

It's a moonlit reason to quit
And nobody answers the phone
But if there's still blood left in your body
I'll come back home
