Track Name: 1000 Luna Moths
You're like a thousand luna moths reaching up into my gaze
another song that doesnt know your age
it makes me think I can reach you

Walked around the farm but I didnt know where I was
thumbing across the pages, I know you know so well
Track Name: Requited
if you can you're feeling older
the aching has been replaced
by a meaning fading deeper
its written on your face

all these thing take getting used to
all these things they never could do

I will not let you fall and fail like I did
when we were kids in kankakee

find peace in where the past brings me
hear me calling out

I'm still holding on to some things I should
or wish I could throw away
Track Name: Lehigh Quarry
Written about Lehigh Quarry near Herscher Illinois. Its a pile of crushed Limestone many youths of Kankakee have climbed over the years. It can be seen here:

lyrics
When I'm out driving late after midnight I know what time to meet you out on a nother country road west of town pedals down I'm not going to make it but I'll make the best of right now we pack up our things try not to make a scene 4 by 4 in my car youth is not sorry out on lehigh quarry where we toast the stars 75474 the wonder of illusion park the car off the street a mile down the road throught the darkness they sleep out here quietly we creep we seek out the unknown 94 96 and 97 I find myself in memories what I cannot defy I cannot deny takes a lot out of me to get to where I want to be take a hand pull me up were at the top here comes the cops slide down the side the dark side of the moon run for the trees and balloons 75476754 we'll hide out here untill they pass or until the morning comes I'll drive you back home its where I never go anymore anymore anymore
Track Name: Trust
I've written out twice before where the angels come and begin this endless praise
what becomes of all men and women when they find solace from the bomb to the grave?
a course drawn out and ignored
a love so lost but stillness still adored?
what of trust

Ive known the angles and drifting lines
I have been there and back and through all unknown
will is just a whisper in the slow and steady temper of whatever we call our own
where a kiss breaks the silence and becomes the cause of aching hearts
I dont knwo where my own ends I just want it to blow and fade away

a fable once drunk now sober to the bone
a cautious and carried notion that we are not alone.
Track Name: A Wish
Wait you're out of time
you're alright
you're calm but crazy
where you are
you're fine
you are A WISH
you're cold and alone
fresh snow against blue sky
a fresh easy ride
when you're a lie
when you're nothing but a wish
Track Name: Cover Everything
You are so
You are so worth fighting for
don't you know?
You are a sun
a sun a shining example of
what is right in the world
and I love you so

I'm in deep in this
I got a kiss
a sweet surprise

You are needed at once
in my days
and all the crazy things I say
add up to this
Its not all in my mind

You are done
You are not far

I'm in deep
I've got a kiss
A sweet surprise
You can't know
You can't know
You can't know

Feel the soft light
silence
Feel the soft light
silence

We are one
we are chosen for this stage
the way the days carry on
without a sound
we wont drown
we won't care to lie
to rearrange the sky
to cover over every little thing
cover over everything.
Track Name: Hour Long Days
Intoxication
Desperation
Where we leave our fear?
Oh, dear...
Don't worry
we'll be out of here

Pining for the moon
and our own room
I heard
what you said

I'm trying to kill this illness
but jealous is the world
on fire
it set my soul up
for disaster

I love hour long days
I love hour long days
Track Name: So Far
I have nothing to say love
except where it hurts
its a part of me

feeling nothing removing this
so I can see
its not impossible

fear
another way that blinds all this change
the way all our lives are arranged
so far away

Somethings been drowned grey
but not obscured
to shade the cold
I have not forgotten my family
just put my heart on hold

another way that blinds all this rage
the way that my minds been arranged
so far away

and I will keep on fighting for you
little boy lost
in the shame of these years
of abuse

FEAR
another way that blinds all this change
the way all our lives are re arranged
so far away
Track Name: Mistrust
Too many days I have pledged my life for this sacrifice that gets me going keeps me knowing why I measure angles in your eyes why I let you know me

I must trust in mistrust

the blisters will not come
if I dont show them how
my love of the sun through the windows of this empty house

what do I have to show for it?
Track Name: The End Of
Your heart goes on
through the past
and so far
doves
tangled in your fingertips
without a kiss

a tear in my hand
leaves a mark
wrapped up in vainity
the end
becomes
with a wish
and not without hope
Track Name: The Inner States
You say you're not but I can feel you
all the years against my eyelids
youre the light that I feel
in my dreams
that I try to steam away once in a while I can take it all the way home

when I had some money
I used to drive all night
I didnt care where to or who with
its alright
in the darkness how you feel so familiar
running down
flat tire
I cant stay awake
its the lull of the inner states
dont you worry nothing I say isnt true
if you want to lie to yourself all my songs are about you
and while you steal away another night I cant decide why
Track Name: NY Resolution
our pretty things sing another thought
we are leaving tomorrow night but forgot
how to drive through the seams of the thickness
of the snow before we can go we must shine bright

Im caught clean without true direction
cover nothing over without full disclosure
thoughts can take me out, they bleed my lungs
I cannot breath until the song is done

I should be over this before the trains burrow in my forhead
thoughts are never written and I lost a new year resolution

I call out
I don't know what I've got
I've got nothing but the sun
and a chain I've been falling over the last year

our cold machines what they have cost
a gross mis alignment something lost
on the way through the lean and the longing
of the spring to the redesigning of everything

Im caught clean without true direction
cover nothing over without full disclosure
thoughts can take me out, they bleed my lungs
I cannot breath until the song is done
Track Name: These Wounds
These wounds are red like the sun
These wounds belong to no one else
but the wax tears face the lost round souls
they were once
the eraser comes
and turns machines into gold

These wounds are deep as you can see
how deep depends on reality
although the devil says to me
I am one
a lost son
but not allowed
twisting words in my mouth
Track Name: Eleven Songs
eleven songs are they all wrong?
Track Name: Drive - bonus track
breathe along lost stars and all they
spent their life on
we agree naturally and inside confide all secrets

not content with what they say
try to find a way

lost in crisis and the sky
falling now and I dont know why
driving by your house
I get the feeling I m not alone now

feeling once or twice
falling in love and not for eyes
for heart songs

not content with what they say
not breathing anyway

I tried
to drive
alive
