Track Name: All This Work For Love
Who knows whats going on here anymore.
Who knows how far I've come.
She's so far away now isn't she.
I can begin to grow up.

All this work for love.
It makes it hurt, all the worse.
Now you are gone.
I'm beginning to see all the way that you love me.

Who knows whats going on here anyway.
I know how far I've gone.
I'm living in outer space now anyhow.
I guess I'll start to head home.

All this work for love.
It makes it hurt, all the worse.
Now you are gone.
I'm beginning to see all the way that you love me.


You loved me.
And I wondered.
Track Name: Sing Ourselves Sane
Head full of books, and worries.
Mouth full of curses and pain.
So I understand why you're holding your breath.
Breathing leads to living again.

We'll sing you songs, to ease up that pain.
Build you words to get on again.
Sing a song for us, let the world alone.
Sing ourselves to sane once again.

In a house full of people you still feel alone.
Empty like the attic upstairs.
So I understand how you're losing you grip.
With nothing left to hold on to.

We'll sing you songs, to ease up that pain.
Build you words to get on again.
Sing a song for us, let the world alone.
Sing ourselves to sane once again.
Track Name: It's A Miracle We're All Alive, Anyway...
I didn't mean to write you, I was alone.
I thought you could understand a simple poem.
At least, you had all these years.

You can't blame me for getting to you.
I guess you could but whats the point.
I was lonely and it meant nothing.

its said:
"Its a miracle we're all alive, isn't it?
Its a miracle we're all alive, anyway…"

You looked into the rear view at around 10 miles.
You'll be okay, It'll be okay.
At least, it had been all these years.

Your mind went to the near and distant future.
You saw yourself alone on an empty bus
In that moment it all made sense.

Its a miracle we're all alive, isn't it?
Its a miracle we're all alive, anyway…

Whats the point of trying to explain it all everyday.
The circles that we walk like the beat up 45, I should have known it would have died.
Point me to your answers so we can set up for the next round.
Or settle down, and accept that we don't know it all.
And we never will.

Its a miracle we're all alive, isn't it?
Its a miracle we're all alive, anyway…
Its a miracle we're all alive, isn't it?
Its a miracle we're all alive, anyway…
Track Name: From Afar
I'm just sitting in this state.
I'm sitting in this smoky car.
I am alone most days.
Not by choice, but by running hard.
But from afar its way to, way to hard.

From way down here, I'm looking up to where you are.
When you get to high, just turn to smile or wave goodbye.
Because down here its not quite so clear.

I threw those pictures away yesterday.
I can't look anymore.
I can't seem to remember a face.
Is that what you want to hear?
I want you out of here.

I'm just sitting in my place.
I'm sitting here in outer space.
I tend to learn the hard way.
At least i learned my way out of here.
But out here, its not with you my dear.
Track Name: More Than Poor
So many things that I don't understand,
why applause sounds like rain or why love leads to pain.
Can I stop, to figure things out?

Two lovers they stand and they kiss in front of me,
it reminds me that I am alone.
Out of tune.
Or just fine.

Everyone knows that misery loves good company.
Everyone knows that I love your company.

A book reads for sale I just stop and I stare,
I already know how the stupid thing ends
It's no good, well, the beginnings okay.

The guy gets the girl and the girl is misunderstood
so he leaves, he makes his way home.
He forgets where that is, and what was there.

Everyone knows where these rich men get their money from
Everyone knows that I am more that poor and I'm not even done yet.

The mattress pad dont' ask no questions.
And my pillow case dont' ask me for truth
So I lie.
Track Name: I Know I Have Lost
I know I have lost.
I'll keep losing these day.
Just enough to keep me moving on to you.
I know you have too.
But there comes an end.
In passing, a moment where we can just sit still.

I can feel it, oh, its coming for you.

My mind runs thin as your tongue wears tired.
I sleep to go and hide.
Not from you, its from myself, you know somethings never leave my mind.

I can feel it, oh, its coming for you.

I keep count of the mornings, I know time is running out.
You stick with me, you know I'm counting for us both.
And i know its not the end, but it feels just like an end.
And I know that times not rolling, like we thought it would again.

I can feel it, oh, its coming for you.
Track Name: I Need It Now (Some Peace)
If life is gonna be this much of a war, I want some bullets flying at me.
I don't mean to sounds cruel but my intentions are not to make it out of here alive.
Still don't know, if i've found my place, or if i should keep moving along.
Moving along.

And your friends say its okay.
But its not, maybe it will be someday but its not today.
Throw your hands in the air and i'll catch you swinging upside down from my tree.
or you'll catch me, falling to the ground.
Whoever's arms I end up in, is fine with me.
Fine with me.

Some things are so unfair, but what good would it be if no one needed peace.

So I'll go all alone, searching for somebody who can make some sense out of me.
And the things I do.
Distractions and disasters run wild like the light of the moon.
And I'm the wolf.
Howling for some hope or some power that can heal up my wounds.
Heal up my wounds.

Some things are so unfair, but what good would it be if no one needed peace.


I need it now

Some peace.
Track Name: Not While I'm Around
Theres no way that anything will hurt you when I'm around.
I'm not kidding, you speak to me in rhythm.
In perfect sound.

I thought a lot about it in a dream.
Where I met the King and you were his Queen.
So, if I can't be the one, you're headed home to,
well honey I am done just finish me.

Theres no way that I can give up, not when its this hard for me.
I'm just saying that there is no other rhythm for me, can't you see?

We started out some water flowing free.
You see the rivers always start out as a stream.
If I cannot be the boat you're holding up dear.
Then honey I am lost in open sea.

Hold me in your arms, alright?
Let me know the rest in time.
If I can't be the one you're headed home to.
Honey, I am done just finish me.
Honey, I am lost in open sea.
