Lights (cameras in action) 03:40
lyrics
buy track
You’re Pretty tough when no one is watching you’re Pretty different in my depth of field This one shot is worth a thousand words The world just got bigger and this just got real I...can see you We all see you Lights Cameras in action Lights cameras in action No more hiding inside the shadows the Truth comes out with available light This moment is going up in a flash The antidote to might-makes-right I...can see you We all see you lights Cameras in action Lights cameras in action The story isn't what you say it is The story is what fits inside the frame Now your face is flying through the ether Welcome to the hall of shame I...can see you We all see you lights Cameras in action Lights cameras in action

Being Human 04:34
lyrics
buy track
There's a break in the current The connection is shorting out There's blood in the water Everyone is bleeding out Everybody's got a reason To keep their distance from each other Everyday its easier To separate and run for cover And it's hard being human When there's no love for human beings I can't see the bright side I'm blinded by these things I'm seeing And it's hard to believe This is the cost of believing It's so hard being human Why can't we act like human beings There will always be somebody To tell you just who's to blame There's always insinuations That some else has rigged the game And it's hard being human When there's no love for human beings I can't see the bright side When I'm blinded by these things I'm seeing And it's hard getting over when there ain't any kind of kindness It's so hard being human Are all our best days behind us It's a race to the bottom Maybe I'm part of the problem It's us and them, it's you and me Is this how it's meant to be I can't see it getting better Unless we're all in this together I don't want your easy answers I think it's time we answered for ourselves And it's hard being human When there's no love for human beings I can't see the bright side I'm blinded by these things I'm seeing And it's hard to believe This is the cost of believing It's so hard being human Why can't we act like human beings

Gravitation 03:46
lyrics

Gravitation Some energy is acting on us A dynamic Bending space and time I feel the force of this attraction Gravitation I feel the weight of your reaction Gravitation It's like a magnetic connection Some power holding us in place I feel the force of this attraction Gravitation I feel the weight of your reaction Gravitation Our bodies resting and in motion Gravitation Swaying like the push and pull of oceans Gravitation It's getting stronger as we get closer Moving toward a singularity I feel the force of this attraction Gravitation I feel the weight of your reaction Gravitation There's something drawing us together Gravitation Feels like I'm a brick and your a feather Gravitation Sent from my iPad

One Damned Thing 03:26
lyrics

One damned thing after another I knew there would be days like these But didn't think thats all there'd be I know it's darkest before the dawn But Christ, when's it gonna dawn on me Just when you think it's over Just when you think it's through Life has a way of proving It's never quite done with you And it's one damn thing after another And it's one damn thing after another And it's one damn thing after another Can I put one fire out Before the next one gets started every I turn around Something else falls apart and Just when the storm has passed Just when you think it's clear Another bolt from the blue Rips through the atmosphere And it's one damn thing after another And it's one damn thing after another And it's one damn thing after another Never been accused of having Far fetched expectations But just a minute to catch my breath Would seem like a long vacation Just when you think it's over Just when you think it's through Life has a way of proving It's never quite done with you And it's one damn thing after another And it's one damn thing after another And it's one damn thing after another And it's one damn thing after another And it's one damn thing after another And it's one damn thing after another Sent from my iPad

Can't Talk About It 04:16
lyrics

Cant Talk about it She was drinking her coffee, had a look on her face like she was waiting for the hand-off in a relay race didn’t really care but I asked any way and she started listing all the things she couldn’t say “I can’t say much, this isn’t coming from me I’d tell you more but Im sworn to secrecy I guess if you were looking you could see the signs I’m afraid you’re gonna have to read between the lines” I Can’t talk about it I Can’t talk about it I Can’t talk about it I can’t say any more Can’t talk about it I Can’t talk about it Can’t talk about it I think I’ve said too much I don’t want to give too much away things are not what they seem, is all I can say it just goes to show that you never really know it might be better if we both just lay low it goes without saying, this is on the QT if any one asks, you didn’t hear it from me you can’t tell any one what I’ve revealed from here on out, I swear, my lips are sealed I Can’t talk about it I Can’t talk about it I Can’t talk about it I can’t say any more Can’t talk about it I Can’t talk about it Can’t talk about it I think I’ve said too much dont wanna let the cat out of the bag but certain things that people say should raise a red flag it’s not what you’re thinking, if you haven’t guessed I wish I could get this all off my chest but I Can’t talk about it I Can’t talk about it I Can’t talk about it I can’t say any more Can’t talk about it I Can’t talk about it Can’t talk about it I think I’ve said too much

I Blame the Music 04:37
lyrics

Don't ask me how this happened I don't have an explanation I'm not a man known for fits of passion I'm not given to flirtation I blame the music I blame the song I blame the dancing and the white dress you had on I blame the motion I blame the lights I blame the music and the look that was in your eyes might have been the laughter could have been the wine can't dismiss the notion it was all these things combined I blame the music I blame its charms it wasn't my intention that you end up in my arms always try to keep my wits about me fools rush in where angels fear to tread but somehow you found your way around me somehow I can't get you out of my head I blame the music I blame the beat I blame the melody that pulled us to our feet I blame the moonlight and proximity I blame the music for the way you got to me maybe it was the way your hair fell in your face maybe it was the right time or maybe the right place I blame the music I blame the dance I blame tour red red lips I never had a chance I didn't come here with some cold objective I didn't come here with some master plan something in your eyes hit me like a hammer somehow things just got out of hand I blame the music I blame the song I blame the dancing and the white dress you had on I blame the kiss that took me by surprise I blame the music and the look that was in your eyes might have been the feeling when you took me by the hand could have been a conspiracy started by the band but I blamed the music i blame the song but deep down I knew that it was my heart all along

Trust Fall 04:42

Trust fall I have my doubts But you make it look it easy I'm hesitating While you take a breath and let it go Sorry if I'm moving Slower than what you're used to I look around for something to hold on to Work the angles And do the numbers in my head It's just not easy To put my faith in something new Can I close my eyes And let myself go My mind says maybe But my heart says no It's a long way down And I've got scars to remind me But I'm Still standing I've tried this once or twice before And I always end up on the floor Do I believe there are open arms behind me Or is it just another hard landing Wait a minute This isn't a hard no I'm just trying To keep myself in one piece need a second To consider, should I hit or stand The world is full of people Trying to persuade you Everybody's waiting For the moment of release We both know These things don't always go as planned Can I close my eyes And let myself go My mind says maybe But my heart says no It's a long way down And I've got scars to remind me But I'm Still standing I've tried this once or twice before And I always end up on the floor Do I believe there are open arms behind me Or is it just another hard landing Do I try again Do I close my eyes And jump right in Once bitten, twice shy maybe this is not The best situation truth be told I wasn’t really looking for this But Maybe you and me might be worth the risk Can I close my eyes And let myself go My mind says maybe But my heart says no It's a long way down And I've got scars to remind me But I'm Still standing I've tried this once or twice before And I always end up on the floor Do I believe there are open arms behind me Or is it just another hard landing is it just another hard landing Sent from my iPad

Lost Art of Conversation 03:56

all these words fly through the atmosphere but all this static makes it hard to hear face to face used to be your choice now I barely recognize your voice just trying to keep the transmission clear can I engage you in the lost art of conversation is my message getting through so much information but I still don’t know a thing about you this signal to noise has gotten out of hand communiques we just can’t understand data flying through the ether makes it kind of hard to breathe here feels like screaming at the wasteland can I persuade you with the lost art of conversation is my meaning getting through high speed communication but can I have just a word with you I don’t need all that much from you just tell me something thats simply true can I engage you in the lost art of conversation is my message getting through so much information but I still don’t know a thing about you lost art of conversation lost art of conversation lost art of conversation

Only Lonely 03:58
lyrics

Only lonely Been a long time And it feels like your standing On the fault line As the ground starts to shake In the mean time Hope is hard to come by You start to wonder How much more you can take I know the feeling Just how hard it can be I'm no savior Maybe just a friend in need At the darkest You forget that there is light Just takes a spark For the flame to reignite What if I told you That you were only lonely What if I could help you make it through the night What if I showed you That you are only lonely It's not so complicated The answer is in sight, oh It's a good sign That you still can smile It's a good time To step away for a while I can't promise Brighter days ahead But I can help you Break out if your head What if I told you That you were only lonely What if I could help you make it through the night What if I showed you That you are only lonely It's not so complicated The answer is in sight What if I told you That you were only lonely What if I could help you Feel okay again This is no disaster I think you're only lonely It's not so complicated For the loneliness to end Solo Sent from my iPad

Another Song About Your Girlfriend 2 weeks and you fell so hard This time it was going to be the real thing Big fight, now you feel so scarred What else can you do but sing Everyone is waiting for your testimony We all love to hear how you're never to blame Song after song about how you were the victim But this time was different, She had a different name Write it all down,  Another song about your girlfriend Tell us once again how it all fell apart Everybody's waiting for a song about your girlfriend It's never really love So baby, it must be art Limelight, big premiere We all saw how good you looked together 22, swimsuit model Who would guess it wouldn't last forever 8 cover stories in the checkout line Dish all the details, we all need to know Underneath it all you're just a romantic It's a heart breaking story but it makes a great show Write it all down,  Another song about your girlfriend Tell us once again how it all fell apart Everybody's waiting for a song about your girlfriend It's never really love So baby, it must be art Everybody's waiting for your latest story Everybody wonders why it all went wrong Strolling through the land mines while sitting on a gold mine Crying in the sunshine To people on the frontline Write it all down,  Another song about your girlfriend Tell us once again how it all fell apart Everybody's waiting for a song about your girlfriend It's never really love So baby, it must be art Write it all down,  Another song about your girlfriend Break it all down so we all understand  teach us something new With a song about your girlfriend It may have hurt your feelings But it sure hasn't hurt your brand

They walk among us Bring out your dead But still walking Bring out the blessed and the cursed Show us the faces of the fearless Let's see the righteous at their worst Soldiers and saviors (They walk among us) slaves to behavior (They walk among us) Heroes and the haunted (They walk among us) The wanting and the wanted (They walk among us) Let's see what's behind the false fronts What's beneath the civilized veneer Let's see what your really made of Look into the eyes of hat you fear The loved and the lonesome (They walk among us) The vivid and the numb (They walk among us) The Ingenues and has beens (They walk among us) The harrowing and heroines (They walk among us) Believers and the faithless The fractured and the faceless The prey and the praying The jaded and the fraying The penniless and Titans The daring and the frightened The skeptics and the scholars The hot under the collars Saints in the darkness (They walk among us) The fragile and the heartless (They walk among us) The Whores and the healers (They walk among us) The desperate and the dealers (They walk among us) The wasted and the worn (They walk among us) The tested and reborn (They walk among us) Sent from my iPad

Like a Hunger It's hard to see you In the shadows Are you moving I want to save you But I can't reach you Always moving And I feel you deep Like a hunger, like a hunger And I feel you deep Like a hunger, like a hunger It's getting colder night can be Unforgiving I don't know you But I could be you One wrong decision And there's nothing I can do That would change your story Nothing I could say That would turn it around Every dark corner Has it histories Every shore is scattered With ships run aground And I feel you deep Like a hunger, like a hunger And I feel your need Like an empty bowl And I feel you scrape Like a hunger, like a hunger And I feel you ache Like a broken soul And I feel you deep Like a hunger, like a hunger And I feel your need Like an empty bowl And I feel you scrape Like a hunger, like a hunger And I feel you ache Like a broken soul And I feel you deep Like a hunger Like a hunger

How to Build a Person 03:50

How to build a person Take a box of raw ambition Tamp it down with inhibition Add a little desperation And a pinch of animation Then give it some room to breathe just Give it some room to breathe just give it some time to think just a little time to think Make sure It's always reaching Toward something To believe in Teach it how to always be It's own worst enemy Then set it free Wrap it tightly in self doubt Add a knack for lashing out Give it a heaping helping of The insatiable need for love Then give it some room to breathe Give it some room to breathe Give it some company Give it some company Make sure it's always reaching Toward something to believe in Bury deep inside its bones The fear that it may be alone Then set it free Leave a small hole in its heart That it can try to fill with art For when all of its hope is gone Add the strength to carry on Then give it some room to breathe Give it some room to breathe Give it a place to be Give it a place to be Make sure It's always reaching Toward something To believe in Teach it how to always be It's own worst enemy Then set it free Tell it that the clock is ticking Then set it free Sent from my iPad

Find My Way 03:19

FIND MY WAY I've been neck deep in the river I've been adrift on the sea I've gotten lost in the mirror I've gotten so far away from me I'm gonna find my way I'm gonna make my way back home I'm gonna find my way I'm gonna make my way back home Stood up in winds of change Laid down on sanctified ground Slipped my self into colorful skins So that I'd never be found Maybe the years made me harder or I learned the lessons too well But Somethings drawing me Back to the beginning I've got a story to tell I'm gonna find my way I'm gonna make my way back home I'm gonna find my way Nothing's gonna keep me From where I belong I'm gonna find my way I'm gonna make my way back home I'm gonna find my way I've been a stranger For far too long

Proving Ground 03:46
lyrics
buy track
Proving Ground If I held an answer that you wanted me to send I'd fold it into a paper plane, and let it prove itself on the wind If I held a question you thought to big to hide I'd drop it from an open space and let gravity decide If I held an antidote that might starve or feed your fury I'd place a drop on my tongue and let the minutes be my jury If I held the evidence that might free you from your doubt I'd hand it to a blinded man and let his fingers sort it out But if I had a looking glass that showed you what is true I'd break it against my perspective and leave it up to you
