1.Miracle Mile

Lyricist:Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci
Writer(s):Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci

I was supposed to do great things
I know the road was long
But I wasn't raised to shoot for fame
I had the safety on

I cut my ties, I sold my rings
I wanted none of this
If you start from scratch you have to sing
Just for the fun of it

I'd be alright, if I could just see you
Come up for air, come up for air
A miracle mile, where does it lead to
Come up for air, come up for air

I feel the air upon my face
Forget the mess I'm in
Hold me again, don't count mistakes
I lost track of them

I'd be alright, if I could just see you
Come up for air, come up for air
A miracle mile, where does it lead to
Come up for air, come up for air

I was in the mud, I was in the dirt
Went underground and I found what I was worth
All alone and I know I cant stay
But we're walking up and down the streets to stay awake

Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up

Get outside, get all over the world
You learn to love what you get in return
It may be a problem and it may be peace of mind
Put your head down down and breathe one breath at a time

Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up

I'd be alright, if I could just see you
Come up for air, come up for air
A miracle mile, where does it lead to
Come up for air, come up for air

I'd be alright, if I could just see you
A miracle mile, where does it lead to


2.Lost That Easy

Lyricist:Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci
Writer(s):Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci

A swollen tongue, a plastic gun
Red burn from an orange sun
These oil rigs will crack and run
These palm trees will be chopped to a stump.

I've wandered, seen visions,
I never could fit in.
I'm out there, you'll find me,
I never lost that easy.

You imitate, all night stay awake
You study ancient intelligence
It's a lonely life by candlelight
To make believe, you to talk to the dead.

I've wandered, seen visions,
I've gone off the deep end.
I'm out there, you'll find me,
I never lost that easy.

My drunken confession, sick in the bathtub
While you take your make-up off
You take yourself so serious
If we didn't laugh, we're crying all the time

I've wandered, seen visions,
I've gone off the deep end.
I'm out there, you'll find me,
I never lost that easy.

No matter where I've been,
I never could fit in.
Don't worry where I'll be,
I never lost that easy.
I never lost that easy.
I never lost that easy.


3.Loner Phase

Lyricist:Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci
Writer(s):Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci

They're calling you a genius.
Is that why you're acting so competitive.
And even if they mean it.
Don't let the feeling get to your head.

I really wanna call you.
Never cleaned up the mess from last time we met.
The roof is gonna fall through.
I'll stay out in the cold all alone instead.

If you think you can, reach out your hand
Like all is well and nothing changed.
I went through hell to watch you in outer-space

The wine is in the basement.
So why can't I hide away to hibernate?
I'm sleeping through the moment.
And we're so afraid of getting worse with age?

If you think you can, reach out your hand
Like all is well and nothing changed.
I went through hell to watch you in outer-space.

I'm so careful, I got out of the way.
I'm so grateful, just to be just to be able to say.
Won't you give me distance?
To swallow the words you put on my plate.
And maybe then you'll listen.
Then I can get out of this one act play.
You see me waving my white flag.
You see me waving my white flag.
Don't you ever wanna take me back?
Don't you ever wanna take me back?


4.Fear & Trembling

Lyricist:Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci
Writer(s):Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci

I want to tell you my thoughts
But my thoughts are scattered like crows

I've done whatever you want
I've gone from a mountain to a mole

I can see all my friends in the mirror
They're holding hands
But they don't recognize past and present
In harmony
Every breath
Fear and trembling
The dark.
Fear and trembling
The dark.

Know my face when I'm gone know my name, lover unknown
Know my face when I'm gone know my name, lover unknown
Know my face when I'm gone know my name, lover unknown
Know my face when I'm gone know my name, lover unknown


5.Tuxedos

Lyricist:Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci
Writer(s):Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci

I think about eyes that watch you
I think about changes I've made
I think about all this fancy food
All down the dream.

I spend a lot of time by myself
Imagining great speeches I've made
The cries of people I've been at hell
But what would I stand

And will I find, where will I find someone to take?
Or did I find and I realize I was to blame.

I love to be a stranger everywhere then
'Cause tuxedos don't spread the name
A perfect disguise so be cruel
And fill up your pain.

Where will I find, where will I find someone to take?
Or did I find and I realize I was to fade.

And when I find, and where will I find someone to take
For the million time, for million time.
I was to blame.
I was to blame, I was to blame.

I think about eyes that watch you
I think about changes I've made
I think about all this fancy food
Go down my dream, down my dream, down my dream
Go down my dream, down the dream, down my dream

Go down the dream, dream, dream, dream,
Go down the dream.


6.Bottled Affection

Lyricist:Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci
Writer(s):Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci

I let the bats out, we walked through
The cathedral out in to the moon
Your flashback is airtight
Like an elephant never hurt a fly
Mother instinct, never gonna die

Alright, stay, you got my attention
All my pain is bottled affection

Now it's my turn to play cool
Nothing you can say can even break through
I see the weapons, I pulled out
I met my match, so why am I proud?

I'm not the same kid, I grew up
Didn't I? Or did I get stuck?
You get older, it gets worse
You be the good one that gives it up first
Or the bad one that never gets hurt

Alright, stay, you got my attention
All my pain is bottled affection
Alright, stay, you got my attention
All my pain is bottled affection

My affection, my affection
Pouring out, pouring out
My affection, my affection
Pouring out, pouring out
My affection, my affection


7.Jailbirds

Lyricist:Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci
Writer(s):Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci

The sun is rising so late, it's early
I have spread myself to.. again
To catch the bottom, make my guilty party
Maybe solitude... come the friends

Chorus:
If I don't make believe for your daughters
Learn to take it easy on your sons
Just the parents type of...
But for now you gotta keep them young!

My solitude make me softer
My suffering is not in vain
My depression seems so much longer
But I have to wait to see what people hate.

Chorus:(x3)
If I don't make believe for your daughters
Learn to take it easy on your sons
Just the parents type of...
But for now you gotta keep them young!


8.Water & Power

Lyricist:Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci
Writer(s):Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci

Mine is the car, look pass the dress
Beyond the pearls, who will protest?
Choke on the stars, shadows evoke
no resume no diamond lane.

All you win and all you pray
Who could make you feel afraid?
Be what you say, make you mistakes
Hey silver and gold, you feed cumble and
Forever be yours, counting the hours
The saulting the... and the world resouwers
The world resowers, the world resowers
The...

All you will and all you bring, you...
Who could make you feel afraid?
The world.
Will you give more you'll get more than you take ohh
Will you show us, what yopu
Show us what you fade.

Cry and move on
Cry and move on
Cry and move on
Cry and move on
Outside in the air.

What you're hiding for?
You could be fighting come on!
What you're hiding from?
You could be hiding come on!
What you're hiding from?
You could be fighting come on!
What you're hiding from
You could be fighting come on!

What you're hiding from
You could be fighting come on!


9.Dear Miss Lonelyhearts

Lyricist:Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci
Writer(s):Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci

Wonder why you don't like it more
Wonder why you hate the spring
Wonder why you don't like it more
Oh, why don't you say?

My old friend, he gets around
He does favors fully on down town
He didn't know what would... cops around.
That was when we started fighting
That was when I moved down
That was just the beginning
Look at me now!

Oh, my poor woman
Oh, there is for fish like there is for men
You can't fight against the law
Oh, good times never come
Oh, because the good times never come
When you're waiting by the phone
Good times never come on you unless you do it too
Unless you do it too!
Unless you do it too, oh!

I have given up, it's late and sorrow!
Oh, I have given up on my hotel
I'm up here dancing like a martyr
But I have given up on casting spells
Oh, I have given!
Miss Lonelyhearts, Miss Lonelyhearts
You're Miss Lonelyhearts

'Miss Lonelyhearts you've got to help me,
I have tried most everything
Short of my head in the oven,
Short of drinking kerosene'

Oh I have given
I have given
I have given


10.Bitter Poem

Lyricist:Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci
Writer(s):Nathan Willett, Matthew Aveiro, Matt Maust, Dann Gallucci

And even if it's who you really are, you really are,
You wanna feel wanted
And even if it's true you really are, who you really are,
Then I'll look above you.

I'm out of advice, umbrellas wash away in the rain
I can't wait to see what you become when you became.

And even when you lose, you pushed us all, you pushed us all,
A little bit further.
Reminded me of you as I'm nodding off, as I'm nodding off
In a massage parlor.

I don't even know whose side I'm on, are both sides the same?
I can't wait to see what you become when you became.

And even if it's you who ratted on, who ratted on, your only
brother
You're purple and you're blue
Is it chemical imbalance or some other struggle?
Nobody's to blame, can't use force
Take me to court, cause I couldn't love you
Nobody could use you if you want, use if you want, ain't it fun?

But I'm out of advice, umbrellas wash away in the rain
I can't wait to see what you become when you became.

And even though it's late the promise stands; it doesn't fade.
And even if it's true you often find the best laid plans,
Will fall down broken all around you now.

Oh I can't hear you!
Are you talking to me?
Now I can't hear you!
Did you say that you're happy for me?
Did you say, did you say,
Did you say that you're happy for me?
Did you say, did you say,
Did you say that you're happy for me?
