1.The End
Lyricist：Matthew James Mac Donald
Call me a liar, call me your friend
I will let you down again
'Cause I'm a disaster of epic proportions
I will let you down again
I am not worthy to be called your savior
I am not going to catch all your blame
But to warn you some may fall on my name
How could you do this to all your believers？
How could you do this to all of your friends？
You know this is the end
I know this is the end
I know this is the end
2.Just A Man
Lyricist：Matthew James Mac Donald
Dripping wet with practiced sincerity
Cute slogans for tangible mysteries
You reduce your god to a TV commercial
(Pruned to profit your ego)
'Buy what I sellâ, you scream
(Advertise, advertise)
'Purchase my lifestyle'
I once held the key
But now I have nothing
You are so naive
I'm sorry for leading you along
I'm just a man, I'm just a man, I'm just a man
Wake me up and wipe the cliché from my eyes
It's killing me when all I see is hypocrisy and lies
I know that my faults bring me down, it's a constant battle
That's why I have to be honest with you now
I'm not your saint, I'm not your savior
I once held the key
But now I have nothing
And you are so naive
I'm sorry for leading you along
I'm just a man, I'm just a man, I'm just a man
I once held the key
To everything you ever dreamed of
Now, I have nothing
I'm sorry for leading you along
I'm just a man, I'm just a man
I'm just a man, just a man, just a man
3.Gravedigging
I've been sitting in the suicide lane on
Highway 99
Looking for a sign in the headlights
I've been to war with my mind
But things will be different this time
I won't be putting up a fight
Give me your poison pills cuz I'm
Digging my star crossed grave tonight
Don't wanna leave it alone
Don't wanna leave it
(2x)
I've been sitting by the train tracks
Here in the back door of my mind
Waiting for the planets to align
I've got every good reason
To make this open season
Keep my head up above the metal
Piece tonight
Give me your poison pills cuz I'm
Digging my star crossed grave tonight
Don't wanna leave it alone
Don't wanna leave it
(2x)
Gravedigging
(3x)
We're digging our own grave
Give me your poison pills cuz I'm
Digging my star crossed grave tonight
Don't wanna leave it alone
Don't wanna leave it
(2x)
Gravedigging
(3x)
We're digging our own grave
4.The Way That You Are
Lyricist：Matthew James Mac Donald
He gets his information
From overhearing conversations
Doesn't ask questions
Doesn't learn any lessons
And he keeps his mouth shut
'Til he bowls over and he blows up
And then he can't form his words right
They don't fit together so tight
And I hope to God
That He will find his name
And not listen to his so-called friends
When they so boldly say
This is the way that you are
Don't let them say
This is the way that you are
She doesn't have much to say
About yesterday
Or what happened to her
When she was eight
So she drinks a lot
And it her makes feel okay
For the moment
But it's gone when she awakes
And I hope you know that
Someone out there loves you
So don't give yourself away
And don't listen to them when they say
This is the way that you are
Don't let them say
This is the way that you are
No
This is the way that you are
Don't let them say
This is the way that you are
Don't let them say
This is the way, this is the way
This is the way that you are
Don't let them say
This is the way
This is the way that you are
5.5805
Lyricist：Justin Enrique Duque, Matthew James Mac Donald
Friends, I will keep you like trophies
In my heart to remember how loneliness
Was a faded dream on 219th street
We were more than just young, we were full of it
And no one could touch us or take us in
Watching the sunset from the roof
We planned our next adventure
I was nineteen and young
Thought I had it all figured out
The world was our oyster
And we dove in to get the pearl out
Now, we are swimming in no more reefs
How we wish we could go back
I've got a sneaking suspicion
That hindsight only favors convention
But I'm not one to complain when it's all I dream of
We were more than just useless and stupid kids
Music had moved us, we shook our fists
As we sang along at the top of our lungs
Now, we are swimming in no more reefs
How we wish we could go back
We hold the hopes that someday we'll see the world again
Like that, like that, like that, like that
Now, we are swimming in no more reefs
How we wish we could go back
We hold the hopes that someday we'll see the world again
Like that, like that, oh, like that, like that, yeah
6.Salt In The Snow
Lyricist：Justin Enrique Duque, Matthew James Mac Donald
Give me wings, give me peace
These are the things that I need
I'm tormented, broken and chained
Are You listening？ Are You listening？
And give me shelter from the storm
I know it's a lot to ask for considering how recent
I've piled the dirt on Your name
Are You listening？ Are You listening？
Are You listening？
I have heard that winter's cold
Will give way to summer's warmth
Oh no, like salt in the snow
I'm melted and left all alone
On the side of the road
Is this where I am for Your sake？
Stuck between sleep and awake？
My mind is dreaming of things
Are You listening？ Are You listening？
I took You for granted again
And drew You aside and pretended
For one minute that I had control of my life
And direction it seemed to be in
I was wrong again, I was wrong again
Are You listening？
I have heard that winter's cold
Will give way to summer's warmth
Oh no, like salt in the snow
I'm melted and left all alone
On the side of the road
And I will wait for You to come again
And I can't pretend like I'm confident
And I can't pretend like it makes much sense
When it doesn't
I have heard that winter's cold
Will give way to summer's warmth
Oh no, like salt in the snow
I'm melted and left all alone
On the side of the road
On the side of the road
On the side of the road
On the side of the road
On the side of the road
I have heard that winter's cold
Will give way to summer's warmth
Oh no, like salt in the snow
I'm melted and left all alone
On the side of the road
I have heard that winter's cold
Will give way to summer's warmth
Oh no, like salt in the snow
I'm melted and left all alone
On the side of the road
7.Abracadavers
Lyricist：Justin Enrique Duque, Paul Stephen Erickson, Matthew James
Mac Donald, Robbie Negrin
It's like I never had time to look away
Bodies stuck between death and decay
Are plastic and set up on display
And their eyes are wide and they are looking my way
Each ligament exposed, each muscle connected
And every organ that I proudly neglected
Have been arranged for the common collective
Stomaching the sight of human flesh resurrected
It seems we're fearfully made and designed
But it's a shame we can be so blind
We're all the same
Made of hair and bones and water and blood cells
And we're all to blame
For spending way too much time on ourselves
I have been blessed and now I'm blind
A veil's been pulled over my eyes
Now every bad season that kept me believing
Seems so contrived
There's more glory to be seen
And savored through suffering
Than ever was through
Self serving escape
It seems we're fearfully made and designed
But it's a shame we can be so blind
We're all the same
Made of hair and bones and water and blood cells
And we're all to blame
For spending way too much time on ourselves
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
â~Cause we're all the same
Made of hair and bones and water and blood cells
And we're all to blame
For spending way too much time on ourselves
8.R＆R
Lyricist：Matthew James Mac Donald
Sick with regret, you sputter out
Your flame swallowed in doubt
Light the cigarette and take a breath
The smoke inflates your chest
And thins your blood so you bleed less inside
Left with the mess that came about
When you chose to live without
On foreign shores you fight or die
Life's thrown before your eyes and leaves it's toll
On your calloused empty soul
How long, how long will we be desperately alone？
How long, how long？
How long, how long will we have to pay for what we've done？
How long, how long？
âWhat we would give to feel aliveâ
Through the fog, a muffled cry
âThe anchor's lost and so am Iâ
We fall victims to the tide
I'm free to drift and free to die on my terms now
How long, how long will we be desperately alone？
How long, how long？
How long, how long will we have to pay for what we've done？
How long, how long？
Sick with regret, you sputter out
9.God And Drugs
I scrape the glass for crumbs and ask the mirror for some truth.
I loaded my body with chemicals, it was no use.
Cause retribution's coming for the years of this abuse,
And I can't get away and still I can't get close enough to You.
You won't go away,
But every hit is just a taste.
Something scares me in this place.
I self destruct for days.
It's a constant reminder of what I can and cannot have.
The smell, the taste, it's all just fake, the truth is what I
lack.
So I will keep on running and keep my head above the ground,
And I will look for You in places You cannot be found.
You won't go away,
But every hit is just a taste
Something scares me in this place.
I self destruct for days.
You won't go away,
But every hit is just a taste
Of all the things I need to face.
But it's all so fake.
'It's okay,' a voice says, 'We all look elsewhere.'
It's true, that I look elsewhere, for you.
You won't go away.
You won't go away.
You won't go away.
You won't go away.
You won't go away.
You won't go away.
You won't go away.
You won't go away.
You won't go away,
But every hit is just a taste
Something scares me in this place.
I self destruct for days.
You won't go away,
But every hit is just a taste
Of all the things I need to face.
But it's all so fake.
You won't go away,
But every hit is a taste
You won't go away,
Still I've been gone for days!
10.Medisin
Lyricist：Justin Enrique Duque, Paul Stephen Erickson, Matthew James
Mac Donald
What great risk to truly live？ We could die alone
Self-proclaimed meaning of bliss
Is getting what we're owed
It's always getting what we're owed
I am like a machine all that I really need is medisin
And then I'll fall fast asleep
In my dreamlike state I'll pretend I'm unscathed
But when I wake up my resilience fades
When I wake up my resilience fades
How long, how long？
How long, long？
I know there's more to life than slavery
I'm tired of dying
I know there's more to life than drinking
This soul-sick medisin
Oh no, no, I'll never listen to what I'm told
At twenty-four, you'd think I'd hold my speech
Instead, I'll mix you a cocktail, some truth and some slander
And never practice what I preach, I never practice what I preach
How long, how long？
How long, long？
I know there's more to life than slavery
I'm tired of dying
I know there's more to life than drinking
This soul-sick medisin
I know there's more to life than slavery
I'm tired of dying
I know there's more to life than drinking
This soul-sick medisin
I know there's more to life
I know there's more to life
I know there's more
I know there's more to life than drinking
This soul-sick medisin
11.The Ascent
12.Sing
Lyricist：Matthew James Mac Donald
We sing the same song, you and I
With lead feet in deep water, we cry out to live or die
Instead we tread in waves to stay alive
Our heads above the grave but there's no one to save us this
time
So I will sing and you will hear me
And join the chorus so we can start again, oh
Our voices raised are flawed but freeing
Our souls so we can change and start again, oh
My life's a painting I've done blind
With each brush stroke you'll watch me blur every solid line
Over this canvas I have stood with no one left beside me
No one to decide if it's good
So I will sing and you will hear me
And join the chorus so we can start again, oh
Our voices raised are flawed but freeing
Our souls so we can change and start again
Again, again, again, again, again, yeah
I will sing and you will hear me
And join the chorus so we can start again, oh
Our voices raised are flawed but freeing
Our souls so we can change and start again
Again, again, again, again, again, again
13.Everything
Lyricist：Matthew James Mac Donald, Robbie Negrin
Warm skin, smooth lips
Our hearts are strong and toned
Our tongues speak of the unknown
I know that we're not here on our own
You ear's pressed to your phone as you wait for me
You're waiting there so patiently until
I throw caution to the wind
And suck your sweet poison
Your body's everything
Your body's everything
As I trip on my desire
I dive into your fire
Your body's everything
Your body's everything
Fast asleep, my chest your cheek
You softly hum a tune to me
From deep within your dreams
And your eyes tell the story of my life
And your smile
The reason I am still alive
Throw caution to the wind
And suck your sweet poison
Your body's everything
Your body's everything
As I trip on my desire
I dive into your fire
Your body's everything
Your body's everything to me
You never let me down
No, no, no, no, no
You never let me down
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-ho
I throw caution to the wind
(Caution to the wind)
Caution to the wind
Your body's everything
Your body's everything
As I trip on my desire
(Trip on my desire)
I dive into your fire
Your body's everything
Your body's everything
I throw caution to the wind
And suck your sweet poison
Your body's everything
Your body's everything
As I trip on my desire
I dive into your fire
Your body's everything
Your body's everything
14.Closer Than We Think
Lyricist：Matthew James Mac Donald
What's it gonna take for me？
On my hands and knees
While all the poets
Fill pages of loose leaf
I feel cheap and I feel empty
We will bathe in the sea of disbelief
But we will not go quickly
No we will not die so easily
And I knew that this would happen
It always does
And I couldn't stop my reaction
So, I let it come, I let it come
I still hold the belief that we are free
That we don't need the rules to see
That despite what we've done, we're not alone
We're closer than we think to home
It didn't take me long to believe
That I could do anything
We turn the songs up loud so we can sing
I am true and I am living
We will walk through the valley
Of the shadow of the boring
And burn it all
No we will not go quietly
And I knew that this would happen
It always does
And I couldn't stop my reaction
So, I let it come, I let it come
I still hold the belief that we are free
That we don't need the rules to see
That despite what we've done, we're not alone
We're closer than we think
To home, to home, to home, to home
To home, to home, to home, to home
Across the water you call me
But I'm not listening as I sink down
Water fills my lungs as I begin to drown
I knew that this would
I still hold the belief that we are free
That we don't need the rules to see
That despite what we've done, we're not alone
We're closer than we think to home
15.The Beginning (A Simple Seed)
I left my heart in a plastic box,
On the bedside table.
It will be locked till I get home.
I've grown feeble and tired of this world.
Tired of constantly missing my girl.
And I long to smell the sea.
And I long to smell the sea.
The sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea (yeah).
I miss the pacific ocean and northwestern air,
And running each other's fingers through the strands of her
hair.
I've been all over this country lately,
But I've been nowhere, it seems, nowhere.
I've found the cure for my landlocked blues,
It's coming home to you,
It's coming home to you.
You, oh. You, oh. You, oh. You, oh.
If a simple seed gets just what it needs,
Then a redwood tree can grow,
Up to a hundred feet for the world to see,
And endure the sleet and the snow.
But if my whole life,
Was wrapped in price,
I wonder what the tag would show.
'Cuz the time I'm close to the Holy Ghost,
I always seem to let her go.
I let her go...
I left my heart in a plastic box,
On the bedside table.
It will be locked till I get home.
