There was a time when you had a hold on me You would scold me if it went too far Along the way you started slipping away Then one day you stopped coming home Now it’s all coming together Coming through much clearer than ever before I’m putting two and two together Nothing’s gonna get better Waiting around for you to come through This dusty room doesn’t get much use It’s a museum now of what once was Some things are gone, lost along the way But the love we made is still here

I Don't Know 04:27
I can feel everything slipping I’m pretty sure this has stopped working I”ve been thinking of leaving This old house sure’s been quiet It’s been that way for some months I pretend you’re not there And you walk around me like a ghost I don’t know I don’t know If I really know you If I can hold you I don’t know I taped a letter to your mirror It’s the only way I can get to you Can we try just a little harder? This heart was built for two And now there’s nothing left That’s all just our tears
4.
Never Known 05:17
It's been a while, darlin’ a while The way things broke, the way it came together It was a beautiful mistake We believed, we truly believed The love we had would come back around It was a shot in the dark Don’t you remember The way my love just hums The way my love just hums And then it starts to grow like a rose in the sun Then it starts to soothe all the tears away And then it starts to burn like you've never known I see your smile, such a sad smile Nothing will change when I leave you here When it all comes down Now you remember The way my love just hums The way my love just hums And then it starts to grow like a rose in the sun Then it starts to soothe all the tears away And then it starts to burn like you've never known

Thunder Town 04:56
High water took this place out Vandals took the name down The river came up through the drains Flowing like the blood through your veins In the distance there's a man with a guitar He says, "stay where you are" Then band starts to play And the man tells me straight Go back where you came There's nothing for you here This is all that's left of Thunder Town I remember the night of the storm We were running and it started to fall The rain was strong It washed out all the sins from our pores I can't remember where my house once stood I know it's gone for good Then the man wipes a tear Why come back here? All has been lost And the numbers are all gone It all went down with Thunder Town Follow the road out There's nothing left to see Summers and dirty snow No one will ever know Life as it was in Thunder Town

Incapable 03:46
Coming down a high, feeling the burn Then I realize I've lost my turn I can't put back what I'd taken out It's just the way things go down You'll understand Maybe you'll understand Everywhere I go, it touches my face Everywhere I go, I can spot the taste I could change I would if I could But I'm incapable I'm out of control, a runaway train I didn't want to see or hear the signs I can't go back to how things were There's nothing there to go back to
7.
Peter 04:04
Peter is up again He can't seem to stay in bed He jumps up after every sound Then he hits straight for the ground Peter is walking again Down the road so late at night Hands up and looking for a fight Not afraid of the dogs that bite Don't look when he walks the street Don't touch him if he's on the street I just hope he and God will meet Peter is scared again Why is darkness his only friend That boy just wants to go home But living there makes him feel so alone Peter has wet his pants Thinking that he was home at last He's screaming that he wants his chair He can't get it because life's unfair
8.
I've got so many blankets on I'm buried deep down I'm hiding out until the winds die down It's war out there Then the room grows cold And all the lies I've told They all will know There's something strange happening here Trust in him the man with the fire head He don't belong in there All together now: our blindfolds on! It's all over now The news is old And they'll never lose control Because it's all one show There's something strange happening here The white light warms my face No I don't want to leave this place Leave this broken maze
