I've closed my windows and locked my doors my soul may be broken, but my body endures maybe it's just a rut or maybe I'll never live to see you maybe the answer's hidden in history maybe I won't get far or maybe I'll die the first day on my own all I see are possibilities possibilities my gearshift's locked in drive, and both my brakes are broken the sun will rise in the east, but I'll be gone before you're awoken you haunt me like a lonely ghost but soon you'll be just one more ugly scar I'll run until I fall upon my knees maybe I won't get far or maybe I'll die the first day on my own all I see are possibilities maybe I won't get far or maybe I'll die the first day on my own all I see are possibilities possibilities

The Ending 02:24
My God has a plan for me said the girl with the heartless sleeve he'll fill my daughter's bellies and save a little but for me what I'm not understanding is why it seems to be so hard to balance expectations and keep my self-identity I know I should be thankful for the bills I pay each month and it's the ones that got no shit yeah, they're the unlucky ones still, I can't shake this feeling that I'm doing something wrong maybe I'll take a vacation, or maybe I'll just move on I'm moving on I'm moving on my mirrors must be broken, and my fever must be lifted you don't have to be lost to be found the ending to the story meets the sad reality the more problems I think I solve the more I want to run away

Socrates 01:47
I walked down the road to the mouth of the river and every leaf that fell grazed the corner of my eye of my eye Socrates, oh Socrates, tell me anything that I'll believe what's up above, or underneath? if you don't know, then what hope is there for me? for me that black moon in the sky it is dark and on the rise and I guess it goes to show that the fingers in the sky will lift us up they'll lift us up

Just last week I left Tuscan I hitched a ride on back a big old contractor van and it's a good thing that I knew the Spanish word for "west" the next day, I got off at a diner it was the worst night of sleep I think I've ever had in my life but I thanked him and threw a few ones his way and the waitress, she was a real dime she talked about her kids, I talked about the road and she told me "hey kid, I'll buy your book someday" and at that point I knew the time I had to spend with you was through I knew what I had to do I'll see you on the other side of the moon I'll see you on the other side of the moon a few more days and a few more nights I found myself deep in a city full of lights and despite them you can disappear pretty easily at an old brick bar down on west and 23 there's an old friend of mine who I always stop and see and it's no stretch to say that he's seen better days he said, "listen to me, I know you don't watch too much T.V., but from all the way out here to Washington D.C., they don't care if you or I get sick" and at that point I knew the time I had to spend with you was through I knew what I had to do I'll see you on the other side of the moon I'll see you on the other side of the moon

Luna 02:54
Luna luna luna luna I wish I was your type the band starts marching forward people swallow the parade I tried my best to reach you through that entropic haze but I could see you in the distance you'd already taken flight so I set off into the night time my footsteps linger in your light oh, luna luna luna luna I won't see you tonight no I won't see you

Angels 03:26
Around here, words are misleading they find their way into the corners of our hearts around here the wolves are so hungry they lick what is left of their prey, and they clean off their teeth come take my hand, and we'll jump and abandon the things that don't make us happy don't wait a minute, let's do it this instant I'll meet you down under the falls meet me down under the falls around here reporters are thirsty they worm their way into the center of our lives this is the city of angels you won't find anything that deep, so just keep off the streets come take my hand, and we'll jump and abandon the things that don't make us happy don't wait a minute, let's do it this instant I'll meet you down under the falls meet me down under the falls
7.
To the Grave 03:04
I used to think I could find the answer to the things I'm wondering if I just write and sing a song to keep me company but now I know I was only playing games like a child your fingers brush upon my guitar calluses we are hand in hand here we are the starving artist dies last night alone in his sleep and all that's left are the poems and paintings taken to his grave to his grave I watch you sleep hear the frogs all croaking in the rain they celebrate 'cause they all have found the secret that they'll take to their graves

Crane Games 03:11
Driving home is like going to jail and these walls are high and I've never been a boy for climbing I'm seeing things it's like I'm losing my mind I'm alone all the time It's like I'm the last stuffed dog in the crane game reach for me, silver claw of grace why don't you take me to your place? we can stay up and play cards or something please don't let me escape I don't want to go, I don't want to go, I don't no, no, no, I don't want to go oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no Yesterday, the city swelled up with life we were sweating away you hate when I smoke, I said, "I hate when you spit" and you did in my face people were laughing, hands covering their mouths please don't let me escape I don't want to go, I don't want to go, I don't no, no, no, I don't want to go oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no
