1.When The Time Comes
Lyricist：Matthew James Mac Donald
When the time comes I put my feet in the water
It's not as warm as I expect
Will I go down like a preachers son？
Or will I come back up like a world war vet？
Will I watch my brothers die？
Speak true words into their lives？
Will I hold them close and tell them why
The life they led was sacrifice？
I don't know much
But I know about love
And how it hurts me to give up
It hurts me to give up
When the time comes I put my hands on the table
They are examined for what they are
A long life line that's been cut short
By the road, the time, the battle scars
What I would give to be back home
Where the sunsets over the water
Someone save me from these preachers sons
Save me from their daughters
Still I don't know much but
But I know about love
And how it hurts me to give up
It hurts me to give up
Why do we always say we're fine
When it's obvious we lie
Why don't we ever tell the truth
What do we got to lose？
And I don't know much
But I know about love
And how it hurts me to give up
It hurts me to give up
And I don't know much
But I know about love
And how it hurts me to give up
It hurts me to give up
2.Blindfolded
Lyricist：Justin Enrique Duque, Matthew James Macdonald
I transcend time with my words, I'll build a house for you and I
We will live there together alone and surrealize
Do we just exist and does love persist？
The questions of purpose and loving of destiny
Our conquest for bliss is as much hit or miss
As it is skimming the fat off our beliefs
I walk around blindfolded
Talk, I'm not listening
I read through a thousand books
But forgot everything
If grace knows my name then I am to blame
Constantly spreading my fear and my shame
The story exists it's an option that ticks
But still my tongue cannot be trusted
It's so poetic like a black widow's kiss
Trembling as my muscles give
I walk around blindfolded
Talk, I'm not listening
I read through a thousand books
But forgot everything
I found out the proof itself
Was not foolproof
And I leave my mind daily
But you never see me move
Never see me move
Never see me move
Never see me move
Never see me move
3.Seattle
Lyricist：Matthew Mac Donald
And dried up like the sound of voice makes
When the heart grows cold and it's going that way
I think I'll move out of state somewhere far from
Seattle City lights, they burn my eyes
California sounds nice but California's a lie
Maybe I'm out of luck or maybe I'm just blind, oh this time
Rain on my hopes, rain on my soul
Rain on everything that I know
It feels so ludicrous, the pursuit of this dream
We thought we'd be there long ago
My life is like a rolling river, so muddy and absurd
And although I might be mistaken I know that I'll be heard
And I find the second I try to pull away
I'm thrown back in line, oh, this time
So, rain on my hopes, rain on my soul
Rain on everything that I know
It feels so ludicrous, the pursuit of this dream
We thought we'd be there long ago
Rain on my hopes, rain on my soul
Rain on everything that I know
It feels so ludicrous, the pursuit of this dream
We thought we'd be there long ago
And we're all looking for
The same thing, the same thing
Seattle is calling me
Back home, back home, so
Rain on my hopes, rain on my soul
Rain on everything that I know
It feels so ludicrous the pursuit of this dream
We thought we'd be there long ago
Rain on my hopes, rain on my soul
Rain on everything that I know
It feels so ludicrous the pursuit of this dream
We thought we'd be there long ago
Oh oh oh oh
4.The Test
Lyricist：Justin Enrique Duque, Matthew James Macdonald
All I can see is as far as my headlights can show me
And all of the roads look the same in each state that I drove in
As I grip the wheel and I drift away
Wishing I could wake up just a second too late
So, that I could see heaven and I get a taste but I just keep
goin'
So, here is to the promise of glamorous living
You must drink up now cause it's all that you're getting
If you haven't been tested, you certainly will
And I promise it's going to kill
All I can think of is how much Iâ~d kill to be sleeping
Squinting my eyes my minds drifting to secrets I'm keeping
And the long hauling trucks are all parked in their stops
Just like luminous ghosts of something that once was
The rigs all look so empty when framed by their lights
And that's how I'm feeling
So, here is to the promise of glamorous living
You must drink up now cause it's all that you're getting
If you haven't been tested, you certainly will
And I promise it's going to kill
It's all at their expense
If this is real, I'm a fake
At least I feel important
I won't lie, I lie to get paid
So, here's to the promise of glamorous living
You must drink up cause it's all that you getting
If you haven't been tested, you certainly will
And I promise that it's going to kill, yeah
5.Wake Up (Shipwreck)
Lyricist：Matthew James Mac Donald
It's a beautiful landscape
The sunset makes the coast look so clear
It's the kind that makes your heart break
But no one has those kind of problems here
And from the sage brush comes a dove
It comes to take away the ones you love
In camouflage comes the dove
And it comes to take away the ones you love
Wake up you faithless
See your heartbreak gone
The wolf has found a way
To lead this foolish flock of sheep astray
And the clouds make fearful noises and slowly turn black and
shake
The darkness comes around you and dark has come to take
And it will cut the life right from you
Leave you standing in the rain
With nowhere left to run to
And no one left to love you but the pain
Wake up you faithless
See your heartbreak gone
There's no use trying to hold on
Wake up you faithless
You won't be here for long
And this ship wreck will soon be gone
All that I know is what I've learned from troubled times
I've stood alone on the last shore where putting hand under
black skies
I have been hunted through the valleys and the corners of my
life
Fight or die
Wake up you faithless
And see your heartbreak gone
It's no use trying to hold on
Wake up you faithless
You won't be here for long
And this ship wreck will soon be gone
Wake up you faithless
Lyricist：Matthew Mac Donald
I left you a note on the table
I hope it finds you well
I hope you don't hurt like you did
'Cause I'd just blame myself
And I know it's for me that I'm out on these streets
Bleeding nightly for these people I meet
But it's you who I long for when I cannot sleep
It's enough, it could drive me to drink
And I, I am almost nowhere
And I'm getting there fast
You, you're the hope in my cold stare
You're the drink in my hand
When I picked up you broke into tears
You said you weren't busy enough
I still don't know why you need me
And my broken down love
With each second that ticks your voice rings in my ears
And memories flood back from all of our years
And I tell you it's okay, there's nothing to fear
And I secretly hope I am right
And I, I am almost nowhere
And I'm getting there fast
But you, you're the hope in my cold stare
You're the drink in my hand
You're the drink in my hand
You're the drink in my hand
You're the drink in my hand
You're the drink in my hand
You're the drink in my hand
I left you last week and you told me
'Go on and follow your dreams '
I think about that lately
But still I don't know what it means
'Cause you're what I dream of when I awake alone
As I drift away, as we talk on the phone
You're all I want and that's all that I know
And I still just can't wait to get home
And I, I am almost nowhere
And I'm getting there fast
And you, you're the hope in my cold stare
You're the drink in my hand
You're the drink in my hand
You're the drink in my hand
You're the drink in my hand
7.Far From Home
Lyricist：Matthew Mac Donald
I've got a bad taste in me
It's like I've been robbed of something
I once was in my childhood memories
And it's buried in sandboxes backyard where we used to see
That dreams could come true if believed
The sidewalks scream our names
We are so far from home, far from home
I've got a bad pain in my heart
It's like the first time that I looked in your eyes
The first time it all feel apart
And it's buried in sandboxes backyard where we used to see
That dreams could come true if believed
The sidewalks scream our names
We are so far from home, far from home
But now we are so far from home, far from home
All I have is words to which I must lay
I scribble them down hoping they'll save me
Me but I'm lost, I'm so lost
These pages will burn and I will pass away
Yesterday is gone and I just can't shake
The fact that I'm lost, I'm so lost
But now we are so far from home
Far from home
Now, we are so far from home
Far from home
But now we are so far from home
Far from home
Now, we are so far from home
Far from home
We are so far from home
Far from home
Now, we are so far from home
Far from home
Now, we are so far from home
Far from home
8.The Beginning
Lyricist：Matthew Mac Donald
I left my heart in a plastic box
On the bedside table
It will be locked 'til I get home
I've grown feeble and tired of the 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 the northwestern air
And run each of my fingers
Through the strands of her hair
I've been all over this country lately
But I've been nowhere it seems, nowhere
Well, 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 and priced
I wonder what the tag would show
'Cause every time I'm close to the Holy Ghost
I always seem to let her go
I let her go
I let her go
I let her go
I let her go
I let her go
I let her go
I let her go
I let her go, go
I let her go
I let her go
I let her go
I let her go, go
I left my heart in a plastic box
On the bedside table
It will be locked 'til I get home
9.God ＆ Drugs
Lyricist：Matthew James Mac Donald
I've scraped the glass for crumbs
And asked the mirror for some truth
I've 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
Oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh
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
Oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh
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 just a taste
You won't go away
Still I've been gone for days
10.Bitter Uprising
Lyricist：Justin Duque, Matthew Mac Donald
If you listen to the sound of hope
In the children's voices asking questions
You'll know how blindness is a blessing
But I know your type, you're always right
Your tongue controls your mind
But I guess life's the lesson
If they said forty years I would die before
I let them take the love that I have paid for with my tears
And now the time has come to cut our tongues out
And commit ourselves as you did in your memory
We'll tear down the walls and let them know
We could have it all, we could have some hope
This city could be ours by nightfall
Do you hear the war drums beating？
Are you truly happy doing nothing, darling？
I need to find the center
Because love is something right
It's not cooked up overnight
In sticky situations you try
But less is more forever
If they said forty years, I would die before
I let them take the love that I have paid for with my tears
And now the time has come to cut our tongues out
And commit ourselves as you did in your memory
We'll tear down the walls and let them know
We could have it all, we could have some hope
This city could be ours by nightfall, nightfall
We'll tear down the walls and let them know
We could have it all, we could have some hope
This city could be ours by nightfall
The minute I was born, you stole my heart
The minute I was born, you stole my heart
The minute I was born, you stole my heart
The minute I was born, the minute I was born
Tear down the walls and let them know
We could go all night, we could just stay home
This city could be ours by nightfall, nightfall
We'll tear down the walls and let them know
We could have it all, we could have some hope
This city could be ours by nightfall
11.Everything ＆ Nothing
I've tasted fame but never fortune＊
And still I couldn't care less for both
I hope you're done saying 'I told you so'
Cause I think I'm done telling the world what I know
Everything is dark inside the whitest lie
When you take the truth in every half truth
You take the grey over the black and white
I am everything and nothing
Give me one good reason to believe I'm not alone
I will wait for You to answer me
I've never been much for smoke and mirrors so I need a hand to
hold
I will wait for You to answer me
I've tasted blame poured out by brothers
And I much prefer a woman's scorn
They chastise me for being honest
When they hide behind their pride and their porn
Everything is white inside the blackest truth
I know you hate to hear it but it's all that I can do
I am everything and nothing
I am black and white, I am wrong and right
12.Weapon Of Choice (Demo)
I am a lesson you learned＊
I am a hope that is free, give yourself to me
I am all that you love but just like the daughters of Eve
You're like bitter fruit from forbidden trees
And don't be scared I'm only trying to help you
It's easy to get cut down to size when you see through
Uninspired I'm safely out of range of all the games that you
play
And I'm so tired of everything you say I'm not something you ate
I am a truth that you hate
I am a weapon of choice
And I choose to use my voice
I'm like a fatal disease I sneak inside
And I leave you feeling pitiful and weak in the knees
Don't be scared this will only hurt a little
Did you expect me to be soft？
Uninspired I'm safely out of range
Of all the games that you play
And I am so tired of everything you say
I'm not something you ate
Uninspired I'm safely out of range
Of all the games that you play
And I'm so tired of everything you say
I'm not something you ate
Uninspired we're safe now, we're safe now
And I'm on guard against anything you say
I'm not something you ate
13.Walk With Me
Blissful ignorance
There's no one competent enough to care
I am the water that fills your lungs
And slowly forces out the air
Take a deep breath
Take a deep breath
You're almost there
Now fall asleep
Slow heartbeat
Go to nowhere
Walk with me through winding streets
Of solid gold under our feet
If for heaven I would gladly die
Then why am I not complete？
Take a deep breath
Take a deep breath
You're almost there
I am the fire that burns your wings
And sends you falling through the air
Wake your tired soul and follow me to nowhere
I will not harm you
(I will not harm you)
I am competent enough to care
Walk with me through winding streets
Of solid gold under our feet
If for heaven I would gladly die
Then why am I not complete？
