Track Name: State of Emergency
Count the devils
Count the days
Search for relief
Search for a better way

Across the broken glass
‘Cause the wind is turning
And the smoke and ash
From the books they’re burning
Will choke our air
And stain our sleeves
As our love is eyed
By hungry thieves

Oh, Faith won’t hold
‘Cause you can’t know
What a man will believe
In a state of emergency

Stalk the hallways
Court the guards
Turn the key
And hide the bones in the yard
In the shallows where the monster sleeps
Lays a secret that we will kill to keep
That no God is love, no love is clean
And we’ve all been broken by
What a man will believe

What a man will believe
When all his faith is wrong
When all belief is gone in a lover’s eyes
Then a man will believe
That no sun can rise
There’s only falling skies and that love only dies
Track Name: National Pride
Tear the heart from the land
Take its breath
And skin its hide
Beneath your bloody flag
The ghosts will dance
On your precious national pride

Clean the blood off your money
Take your promises and charity
It was never meant for me

Tear the blue from the sky
Turn the green to red and
Push these badlands aside
Fill this sacred ground
With friendly towns
Full of precious national pride

Clean the blood off your money
Take your promises and charity
It was never meant for me
Hold fast to what you say
Kiss and kill, then walk away
From your hangman’s family tree

The stars are striped with blood
And the brave are fast asleep
All in the name of god and love
Freedom’s raped and buried deep
All in the name of god and love

Clean the blood off your money
Take your promises and charity
It was never meant for me
Hold fast to what you say
Kiss and kill, then walk away
From your hangman’s family tree
Track Name: Love and Wonder
We’ll run around the world tonight
Another game of chance by firelight
Breathless under spinning skies that change
You fall apart and think I’ll do the same

Where has your
Love and wonder gone?
Like headlights in a storm
You can’t see me, but I need more
Every time you walk right out my door

The shooting star that lives and dies
The constellations in your eyes
They burn with hope and all that’s gone
With what we need to carry on

In my heart and
On your face
Those laughing lines
You can’t erase
Track Name: It's Killing Me That It's Killing You
Wait
Hold that thought and catch your breath
After everything we’ve been through
Time
Is all that we have left

As you face the day with a heart that’s black and blue
I stand here
Helpless
And it’s killing me that it’s killing you

The things we say to fall in love
It’s killing me that it’s killing you
The things we do to save ourselves

Don’t
Don’t change,
Don’t tear yourself apart
It’s hard to find an end
When you can’t find a place start

The things we say to fall in love
(It’s killing me that it’s killing you)
The things we say to cry for help
(It’s killing me that it’s killing you)
The things we do to find our place
(It’s killing me that it’s killing you)
The things we do to save ourselves

I try to stand but I
Break down
In a rush of sobs and heaves
I try to let go
But you echo
inside of all that I

Believe
(It’s killing me that it’s killing you)
Believe
(It’s killing me that it’s killing you)
The things we say to fall in love
(It’s killing me that it’s killing you)
The things we say to fall in love
Track Name: Stop The War
You can come down here tonight
If you feel you’ve lost another fight
I’ll help you flesh out the pain again

And the strings that hold your heart can break
From the weight of all the vows you take
Oh well there’s trouble and all his needs
The weight can fall on me

When you know there’s something more
I’ll help you find what you’re looking for
And I’ll keep the demons at your door
And we can stop the war

Hope is half alive today
And the rain will summer on the lake
Oh and sorrow and all her friends
Will help you to drown again

And the twisted sighs of “glory be’s”
We push too hard past what we need
And so it’s me and my girl
Give us a whirl and a twirl

You can live with these ghosts
But baby I loved you, I loved you the most
Track Name: The Beginning of The End of The World
When the words won’t come
And the colour fades to gray
When the tears run their course
And the night collects the day

I’m just trying to keep it together
You know that only weighed with all this hurt
Do these moments move so slow

I remember every moment
That your smile would start to curl
I thought I’d laugh with you my friend
At the beginning of the end of the world

You could never say the things you mean to say
But love defies
The words were in your eyes

Just trying to keep it together
Just trying to keep it together
Track Name: Little Pieces
One day you’ll see, it’ll happen to me, quiet quietly you’ll leave.
And it’ll be a sad relief, to be apart of your grief. And Honestly one day I’ll care.
And so if you wanna find me, I’ll be the shallow end of the sea holding back the Mississippi.

And if you come to New Orleans, bring an open heart and all your love
We’ll live in between all the little pieces that we’ve been.

As the walls go up, my tears come down, ‘cause is this a place irreplaceable.
Oh, you had to be the one to see how hard it is to be so free.

And if you come to New Orleans, bring an open heart and all your love
We’ll live in between all the little pieces that we’ve been.
And if you come to New Orleans, bring an open heart and all your love
We’ll live in between all the little pieces that we’ve been.
All the little pieces that we’ve been.
Track Name: Neverland
Let go of all of this
Search yourself and search my eyes
You knew this day would come
So drop the drama and drop the surprise

I know you’re torn between
The world outside and the world you’ve known
But only you can choose
To live the lie or find the truth
To join the ranks or go it alone

To walk away from where you stand
And run forever to a now or Neverland

Read my lips and watch my hands
We’re talking in circles again and again and again and again
Wearing thin
And wearing ourselves down
So take it apart
Or send in the bombs and send in the planes

To walk away from where you stand
And run forever to a now or Neverland
Fly by tombstones, shot with green grass
Chase your ghosts past all that won’t last
It won’t last
Track Name: Dirty Little Secret
Arm yourself and promise me
That you won’t tell a soul
When all this ground’s uncovered
You won’t believe the hole

Still your heart and bury this
Deep below your love
‘Cause this will grow and this will twist
Everything that you’re thinking of

I’ll tell you the dirty little secrets
That keep his conscience clean
It’s time you heard everything
About the world you haven’t seen

In the closet
Hung between the half truths and whole lies
God only knows
Why her Sunday clothes are wrapped up in his ties

All the lies
All the lies
All his lies
Track Name: Weeds
Weeds find the cracks in all the stones
Make imperfect places home and rise
We can build it up again
Make the politricks end
Clear out the matchstick men
And make our city shine

All I have is a wrench in my hand and
All I wanna do is throw it in your works

We can tear it all down
Watch the world end
Give me something good to believe in
You and I can make a love set free
Let’s build it one more time
Build it one more time with feeling

Give me a bed in Montreal
We can make love and solve it all
Blow out all the goddamned doors
Everything you want is yours
And all we need is time
The garden is yours and mine
Yours and mine

We can tear it all down
Watch the world end
Give me something good to believe in
You and I can make a love set free
Let’s give it one more try
Let’s build it one more time
Build it one more time with feeling
Track Name: The Only Way Home
Light from the cloud break
Falls in my eyes
And colours this highway
With pictures of a younger time

No one but you
Can fear the sky but brave the snow
Still my reason learns
To follow you wherever you may go

On a white highway
You look so lovely driving
Back to the only way
Home

Chasing the sunset
Running from the days alone
Shedding our winter clothes to
Smile at all the ways we’ve grown

On a white highway
You look so lovely driving
Back to the only way
Home

Frank Sinatra fly us to the moon
Come on, blue eyes, take us far
Are we really here or
Are we just an echo from a star

On a white highway
You look so lovely driving
Back to the only way
Home
