1.Breathe your name
It's every day
I'm in this place
I feel this way
I feel the same
It's every day
I'm in this place
I feel this way
I feel the same
Is it all inside my head
Is it all inside my head
I view the list
And take my pick
I view my fate
And make the choice
'Cause it's nobody else's but mine
But you're in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you moved my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
So many days within this race
I need the truth
I need some grace
I need the plot
to find my place
I need some truth
I need some grace
The part of you
That's part of me
We'll never die
We'll never leave
And it's nobody else's but mine
You are in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you move my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
You'll view the list
And take your pick
You'll view my fate
And make the choice
'Cause it's nobody else's but yours
And you're in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you move my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name
'Cause you're in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you move my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
2.Tonight
Tonight it's time
Choose a direction
If you fail
You can make a correction
Slower now - make life faster
Make your mind up for once this time
Chorus
It's hard to know
Where I'm supposed to go
It's hard, so hard to know
To know where I'm supposed to go
Tonight

Choose a direction
If you fail
You can make a correction
Slower now - make life faster
Make your mind up for once this time
Chorus
Bridge
Tonight I'm gonna let it go
And try to let it be
Because I know you'll see
That it's hard to know
Where I'm supposed to go
But there is a way
And tomorrow is a brand new day
Yes, it's hard, so hard to know
Where I'm supposed to go
But there is a way
And tomorrow is a brand new day
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
3.Down and out of time
Lyrics:Leigh Nash
Music:Leigh Nash
I dreamt of something
Last night in my sleep
I saw you sitting in a room without me
You were smiling
And you had a tattoo of me
In a room without you
Chorus
I aim my cannon
At you ready or not
You're gonna feel my pain
Like it or not
You've got your debts to pay
And you are one of mine
You are down and out of time
And there is something
I've wanted to say
A simple rhythm
I forgot how to play
I want to tell you
That I've called off the dogs
Your mystery is not worth being solved
Chorus (2x)
I wanto to tell you
That I've called off the dogs
Your mystery is not worth being solved
4.Don't Dream It's Over
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win
5.Waiting on the sun
I'm going nowhere and I'm going to take my time
All the questions in the world I can leave in my mind
I'm waiting on the sunshine, the sunshine
I'm waiting for answers
I'm waiting to figure it out
I trip on my chances
I slip through my doubt
Chorus
I'm going nowhere and I'm going to take my time
All the questions in the world I can leave in my mind
I'm waiting on the sunshine, the sunshine
The sunshine
Well it seems that my weakness
Is sometimes my only strength
And in my incompleteness
You get your way
Chorus
Bridge
I'll be around
And I will find my way back down
And I'll see the sound of the sun
Chorus
The sunshine
6.Still burning
you are the burning
The flame that is turning
My smoldering ash into a bird
So stay close my brother
I couldn't stand the loss
You are the bridge of action
I need you to help me cross
I need you to help me
Chorus
So when you break my arms
I'll take hold of you
I know your heart is a hand
That takes hold of me
The hand that is breaking
Is the hand that is making
All the dead things in me grow
A gift of a holy loss
The burning of the dross
Why do you set out
To break the one thing
The one thing I have to give
It's hard to believe that I could
That I should begin again
But I know you heart is a hand
7.Melody of you
Lyrics:Matt Slocum
Music:Matt Slocum
You're a painting
With symbols deep a symphony
Soft as it shifts to dark beneath
A poem that flows caressing my skin
In all of these things
You reside and
I want to flow from the pen, bow and brush,
Then paper, string
And canvas touch with ink
And the air to dust your light
From morning 'til the black of night
Chorus
This is my call I belong to you
This is my call to sing the melody of you
This is my call I can do nothing else
I can do nothing else
You're the scent of an unfound bloom
A simple tune, I only write variations to
A drink that will knock me
Down on the floor
A key that will unlock the door
Where I hear a voice sing familiar themes
Then beckons me weave notes in between
A bow and a string
A tap and a glass
You pour me 'til the day has passed
Chorus
8.Paralyzed
I look out to the fields
Where blood is shed upon the ground
I breathe in and breathe out,
Change the channel, mute the sound
I take a match, a cigarette
And a walk to clear my head
My stomach's reeling at the thought
Of all those human beings dead
I breathe in, I breathe out
Then go down to do an interview
About a song, three minutes long
I just need something to do
Especially when my dearest friend
Was sent to cover Kosovo
His last assignment brought a bullet
And now he's gone
chorus
Feels like I'm fiddlin'
While Rome is burning down
Should I lay my fiddle down
Take a rifle from the ground
I need the ghosts to breathe a northern gale tonight
'cause I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed
I packed his book up left to office
Went to tell the wife the news
She feel in shock
The baby kicked and she'd a tear inside the womb
I breathed in
I breathed out
Soaked the ground up with my eyes
It's hard to say a healing word
When your tongue is paralyzed
chorus
I breathe in
I breathe out
I breathe in
I breathe out
I breathe in
I breathe out
I breathe in
I breathe out
9.I've been waiting
So I'm waiting by a phone for the blessed ring
Like a holy grail for the fisher king
Time is ticking down like a metronome
Rhythm for my brain, and it's ceaseless scales
I never seem to play them to the beat I hear
Though my heartbeat is a beat that beats so near
So we had a talk last night about the heavy blow
That you dealt in fright, you're back against the wall
It was a puzzle piece, important to the whole
That I may not find to place within that hole
I never seem to put them in the gaps I see
Like a puzzle where the pieces lost you need
Chorus
So I'm changing who I am
'cause what I am's not good
And I know you love me now
But I don't see why you should
And I don't see why you should
No, I don't see why you should
So I drift into the air like a moth to light
Down the boulevard to the coffee shop
In the land of song, in the land of waits
My pen is bearing down on this lonely town
I never seem to write them down as good as him
Like I somewhere lost the keys that let me in
Chorus
So I'm changing who I am
'cause what I am's not good
And I know you love me now (love me now)
But I don't see why you should
So I'm changing who I am
'cause what I am's not good
And I know you love me now (love me now)
But I don't see why you should
And I don't see why you should
No, I don't see why you should
10.eyes wide open
Lyrics:Leigh Nash
Music:Leigh Nash
Eyes wide open all the time
Just like a drug store in the city
Where she walks the streets alone
Time keeps ticking it's an ocean through a sieve
Ever onward ever forward in a march
chorus
Hallelujah
She's one for the money
Two for the show
Then she'll go
Back to life back to dreams without tears
And save what she killed
She'll build herself a loom
And spin another womb
She's saying goodbye bye
To the world now
She's saying goodbye bye
To the world now
Life is heavy now mistakes have come to call
They're always close and tears are never far behind
Floating just above the surface of their graves
Her nightmares wait to come again when she wakes
chorus
Eyes wide open all the time
Just like a drug store in the city
Where she walks the streets alone
11.Dizzy
Lyrics:Matt Slocum
Music:Matt Slocum
I'm like Thomas doubting
Fingers rooting the scars
In your wrists and side
Touching flesh will make my mind believe
But I want to be like David
Throwing his clothes to the wind
To dance a jig in my skin
And be remade by your cleansing again
Chorus
I gave you myself
it's all that I have
broken and frail
I'm clay in your hands
and I'm spinning unconcealed
Dizzy on this wheel for you my love
I'm like Peter crying
Crowing burning my ears
Still you come near
You take my hand
And place in my palm
An eternal chance
Chorus
12.tension(Is A Passing Note)
do I murder
when I forget you from afar
too drunk on the poison of endless roads
and the countless smokey bars
but tension is to be loved
when it is like a passing note
to a beautiful, beautiful chord
do I murder us
putting pavement through my veins
shooting in that special heroin
for the seeking and displaced
but tension is to be loved
when it is like a passing note
to a beautiful, beautiful chord
13.A million parachutes
Like a million parachutes
The snow's coming down
I lock up the front door
And turn the lights down
In the glow of the street lights,
I see them descend
Like a million parachutes,
Small men on a mission
I miss the warm,
And I miss the sun
And I miss the ocean,
I miss everyone
And I miss the bridges
That span across the bay
Tonight it seems like ages ago
Like a million parachutes
The snow still falls
The dogs are asleep now,
There's no one to call
I put on some records
And wait for the light
All those million parachutes,
Now a blanket of white
I miss the warm,
And I miss the sun
I miss the ocean,
I miss everyone
And I miss the bridges
That span across the bay
Tonight it seems like ages ago
I miss the warm,
And I miss the sun
And I miss the ocean,
I miss everyone
And I miss the bridges
That span across the bay
Tonight it seems like ages ago
1.Breathe your name
It's every day
I'm in this place
I feel this way
I feel the same
It's every day
I'm in this place
I feel this way
I feel the same
Is it all inside my head
Is it all inside my head
I view the list
And take my pick
I view my fate
And make the choice
'Cause it's nobody else's but mine
But you're in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you moved my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
So many days within this race
I need the truth
I need some grace
I need the plot
to find my place
I need some truth
I need some grace
The part of you
That's part of me
We'll never die
We'll never leave
And it's nobody else's but mine
You are in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you move my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
You'll view the list
And take your pick
You'll view my fate
And make the choice
'Cause it's nobody else's but yours
And you're in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you move my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name
'Cause you're in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you move my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name

Tonight it's time
Choose a direction

Where I'm supposed to go
It's hard
So hard to know
To know
Where I'm supposed to go
Tonight

Tonight it's time
Choose a direction
If you fail
You can make a correction
Slower now
Make life faster
Make your mine
And for once this time
It's like

Where I'm supposed to go
It's hard
So hard to know
To know
Where I'm supposed to go
Tonight

Tonight I'm gonna let it go
And try to let it be
Because I know you'll see
That it's hard to know

And it's hard
So hard to know

Now a blanket of white.
