1.These Lights
Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb
Have you ever seen stars like these
With a night like this wishin' it could last for weeks
And I'm convinced that soon you'll see
These summer leaves turn to a winter breeze
I will show you the country and all its secrets
Like why these lights burn out so quick
Have you ever seen roads like these
With a sky so bright from the western light
And I've foreseen a new family
Forged from blood and bone just off the coast
Put a record on, they say it soothes the soul
And takes us back in time when we walked in fields of gold
With the radio playing these random hits
We'll move onto a western view
Tonight we ride to fight
We'll drop our heads real slow to the ground
That's frozen cold and breath it in
And move our limbs to make those wings
Begin again and wait and see what tomorrow brings
And we will feast and fight and tell tales
Of hangmen heroes, lovers and pawns
2.And We All Return To Our Roots
Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb
This letter's sealed with a kiss
Sent with a promise
Of a better life with a better view
I'd rather move than watch you
Damn the Gods
With things from a life now lost
We can patch this up, the boat's not sinking
We're still afloat and we're singing
All I want, all I want
Is a little place of my own
Where I can rest my head
All I want, all I want
Is a little place of my own
Where I can rest my head
Drink up, darling
We can save this 'till the morning
When we have clear eyes
And the peace of mind to work this out
You need a raise
You haven't slept in how many days?
The feelings creeping up that you're never going to win
You have to remember we are rising
All I want, all I want
Is a little place of my own
Where I can rest my head
All I want, all I want
Is a little place of my own
Where I can rest my head
We are the ones back to our roots
We are the dust that lies in you
We are the ones in too deep
We are the ones we are
We are the ones back to our roots
We are the dust that lies in you
We are the ones in too deep
We are the ones we are
All I want
(We are the ones back to our roots)
All I want
(We are the dust that lies in you)
Is a little place of my own
(We are the ones in too deep)
Where I can rest my head
(We are the ones we are)
All I want
(We are the ones back to our roots)
All I want
(We are the dust that lies in you)
Is a little place of my own
(We are the ones in too deep)
Where I can rest my head
(We are the ones we are)
All I want
(We are the ones back to our roots)
All I want
(We are the dust that lies in you)
Is a little place of my own
(We are the ones in too deep)
Where I can rest my head
(We are the ones we are)
All I want
(We are the ones back to our roots)
All I want
(We are the dust that lies in you)
Is a little place of my own
(We are the ones in too deep)
Where I can rest my head
(We are the ones we are)
3.Seating Subject To Availability
Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb
Lay down, let's start a family
Lay my fears and my failures
To rest, no more dreams
(You can't sleep, you can't see your future)
You'll lie awake waiting for your moment
To shine, precious time
(You can't waste)
Just waiting weighed down by the fears
Of our fathers can't stop us now
Because waking up with the road
Moving under our feet is what moves us
Lay down, you're almost dead now
You're getting older, we're getting colder
You're moving out you'll trade your six string
For a family and a desk and I don't blame you for giving up
4.A Fistfight For Our Fathers
Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb
Avoid disaster
We must stop sleeping
We better wake up, wake up
Before we start drowning
You know we lie, we lie to ourselves
We lie, we lie to ourselves
My ears are ringing
From all your screaming
You better face it, face it
Before you've wasted away
You know we lie, we lie to ourselves
We lie, we lie to ourselves
Wake up, wake up
Wake up and start singing
Wake up, wake up
Wake up and start singing
Hit them in the heart
You're always running
Trying not to stumble
But you have to wait it, wait
So let's not lie this time
You know, we lie, we lie to ourselves
We lie, we lie to ourselves
5.Whiskey's Dead You're Next
Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb
Have you told her son about the alcohol and medicine
Or the wasted days while friendships frayed
Where you could barely carry your weight
Flip the lights down or pretend you're not alone
And spill the secrets
You bought and sold for rock and roll dreams
Flip the lights down or pretend you're not alone
And spill the secrets
You bought and sold for rock and roll dreams
Have you told her son how you up and leave all your loved ones
How all the lies slip past your tongue
You choke them down like smoke in your lungs
Flip the lights down or pretend you're not alone
And spill the secrets
You bought and sold for rock and roll dreams
Flip the lights down or pretend you're not alone
And spill the secrets
You bought and sold for rock and roll dreams
6.Fade In, Fade Out
Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb
I'll watch the lights slip past the trees
Begging for kisses to be made
Without a bottle's helping hands
We'll watch the movies where the lines are said
I will repeat them back to you
Without a bottle's helping hands
Talking about a long night for a fist fight
Strap your memories to your back
And hang that noose around your neck
Talking about a long night for a fist fight
Strap your memories to your back
And hang that noose around your neck
And your photos they're fading now
You said, you said this is your chance to turn it all around
Your past mistakes hold no weight
'Cause we're always moving forward
Never turn around, don't look back now
That's why, that's okay
Talking about a long night for a fist fight
Strap your memories to your back
And hang that noose around your neck
Talking about a long night for a fist fight
Strap your memories to your back
And hang that noose around your neck
As we walk home the snow falls around us
As we fall onto the sidewalks with our heads up
Always looking for a hands up or a hand out
It was nice to know you then
7.Helping Hands
Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb
It's in these letters that we write
To our friends and family
Spilling secrets of our past
A brief history
Packed with pills, alcohol
And cuts that'll run so deep
So we must stand up
For the ones we love
And give them hope
Before they fall down
So they say, I've lost and I've found
And I've found no way out
Of this mess that we have made
So let me get this straight
You want out
Or just to leave town
So we must stand up
For the ones we love
And give them hope
Before they fall
And we must stand up
For the ones we love
And give them hope
Before they fall down
8.Every Gun Makes Its Own Tomb
Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb
Drive, let's get out of this mess
We can fall out into empty streets
And stumble for a place to meet
Stop, stop talking
We have burned too many bridges now
We have to stop to think about
This before we give up
And fall into broken promises that are ten feet deep
And we always seem to sink
We need to be more honest than we ever have
We're sinking deep
Now drink so we can spill more
Secrets from past lives that have never died
And always seem to help us trip and
Fall, fall in love with
With these eyes of mine that cannot lie
For they have never shined this
Bright but we'll keep dancing
Around the truth that we're so scared to spill
So drink up baby, I've had my fill
We need to be more honest than we ever have
We're sinking deep
We need to be more honest than we ever have
We're sinking deep
9.Losing Signal
Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb
Spending nights trying to find out why kids are dying
Some are cutting themselves
While others rely on pills
Which leads to finding your father's gun
And saying this life's not worth living
We need to learn to defend depression
With our friends before they fade out
10.Sleep Tight Tonight
Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb
Sleeping in I'll begin again to shed this skin
And be born again
We'll drink to forget and drink to forgive
We'll rethink our futures, rethink our futures
I can't remember what he said
When he left my bed and left my life last night
But I'll be thinking about you
I'll be thinking about
So stay if you can, won't you stay if you can?
And lead me to your promised land
So stay if you can, won't you stay if you can?
And lead me to your promised land
Fall in, fit in, let the broken hearts club dance
Fall in, fit in, let the broken hearts club dance
Fall in, fit in, let the broken hearts club dance
So stay if you can, won't you stay if you can?
And lead me to your promised land
So stay if you can, won't you stay if you can?
And lead me to your promised land
11.APR
Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb
Ancient artifacts receive a fresh new look 'round here
Tapping into nature, the video store declines
Our cards and our stars are not aligned tonight, tonight
Tonight, the storm is rolling in
And I can feel the rain beat against the wind
And I don't mind, I don't mind, I want to run and make you mine
While these Midwestern skies are clear tonight
Pack up the maps, we will drive, we can't fly
Say anything, so my heart beats on time
Pack up the maps, we will drive, we can't fly
Say anything, so my heart beats on time
So my heart beats on time, so my heart
12.Late Night Conversations
Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb
Summer's gone and I am waiting
For new beginnings with better endings
Long nights for the sleep deprived
Friends fading while falling in love
I'll write these letters to you
From a desk in a room that's bleeding truth
And I wont sleep so I'll have
No regrets to waste on you
We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up for the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise
We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up for the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise
Let's drink to our fallen friends
To our failures and our futures
Wasted, on the ride home
Fight the feeling, we're not alone
I got this feeling I can't shake tonight
So I'll call you for the hundredth time
Just asking for a reply
We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up for the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise
We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up for the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise
We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up for the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise
We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up for the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise, until sunrise
13.Exorcise Demons
Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb
'It's getting late and I must be on my way
It's five am and the city's sleeping and I'm not far behind'
'Just stay for one more drink and I will let you go
Because nights like this don't happen anymore'
'Let's talk about all the feelings that we have
Like life, love, pain and regret'
'The only thing I regret is not speaking my mind
And that it's too late to fall back on my word'
Way down deep in our heads we know we can't let this happen
It's Friday night and the city lights are dancing on my eyes
So will you drive me home
Rain pours on the road coast to coast and you'll be home
Unless you call me
If I called and said hello and shared the secrets that I hold
Would you run or stay with me tonight
'My world holds your weight boy, my world holds your weight
You'll be gone in the morning, so call back today'
14.(May You One Day) Carry Me Home
Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb
I'm standing in the road and I don't mind your headlights
You say I've lost control but you're driving down my road
With pockets full of secrets never said
I've got some things to say and I know you can relate
Kiss and tell, I never tell
But I'd love to hear these words roll out your mouth
I've got some things to say and I know you can relate
Kiss and tell, I never tell
But I'd love to hear these words roll out your mouth
Run away with me, run away with me tonight
Run away with me, run away with me tonight
It's getting late, so sleep well, angel, 'cause I'll be back
tomorrow
We can stay up late and smoke it down
And feel the breeze beneath our feet
And chalk it up to friends with no families
We're on our, we're on our own
Kiss and tell, I never tell
But I'd love to hear these words roll out your mouth
We're on our, we're on our own
Kiss and tell, I never tell
But I'd love to hear these words roll out your mouth
Run away with me, run away with me tonight
Run away with me, run away with me tonight
You're okay, we're okay
Just know that I am not giving up on you
You're okay, we're okay
Just know that I am not giving up on you
I'm standing in the road and I don't mind your headlights
You say I've lost control
I'm standing in the road and I don't mind your headlights
You say I've lost control
15.You're My Needle
Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb
I am a vein you can't expose
Can you live with what you've chosen?
And I'm choosing to sleep it off another week
Pray the Lord my soul to keep and I'm keeping this
You are the habit I can't break
The pill I said I'd never, never take
The slip between the cup and lip
The feeling I can't forget and I'll beg forgiveness
16.Welcome Home
Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb
You called me out
You called me out
And now I'm showing
Bloodied and broken
But I'll still sing for you
You called me out
But if you're looking for love
In the oceans you might find
A bottle of dreams
Swept away by a traveler's life
You called me out
You called me out
When the stage is set
We will all sit down
And watch our lives unfold
You called me out
So let's gather around
Our friends and lift our fists
Up to the sky
And cast our demons down
17.A Better Man
Sink your teeth in
I'm afraid it's coming down to this
You better make it stick
An everlasting kiss, pressed to your lips
Long drives and late nights
Twenty-four and I'm out for blood once more
This is a testament to love, let's sin
For who we are within
Wake up in time
To start your life, don't throw it away
'Cause in time the scars
Will slowly turn to gray
Wake up in time
To start your life, don't throw it away
'Cause in time the scars
Will slowly turn to gray
It was three o'clock
And you were packing your bags
I saw from the sidewalk
Looks like you're gone today and never coming back
She says, you'll never know
How much we've grown
If moving on is moving up is moving out
I'll see you around
Wake up in time
To start your life, don't throw it away
'Cause in time the scars
Will slowly turn to gray
Wake up in time
To start your life, don't throw it away
'Cause in time the scars
Will slowly turn to gray
I'll take the blame to myself
Because it was me and no one else
Who poured that salt into your wounds
I never thought you'd run away
At least not to him I'll pray
Just for the day I won't lay down
My debt's been paid
Wake up in time
To start your life, don't throw it away
'Cause in time the scars
Will slowly turn to gray
Wake up in time
To start your life, don't throw it away
'Cause in time the scars
Will slowly turn to gray
Let go, let go
I never said I lost control
Let go, let go
I never said I lost control
18.Broken Bottles
We're riding a low
A slow pace where we have to grow up
We're riding a low
Where the blood thins from those long nights
The room spins as I watch you turn
Waiting for the words
We're so sick of being alone
So come over stay longer
Wasting time on
Mistakes we've made
My eyes will tell you
I haven't slept for days
We're riding a low
A slow pace where we have to crawl home
Were riding a low
Where nothing make us whole
So we'll bend our backs back to the start
And start again
