Intro 01:11

Walking Girl 03:56
Just spell it out I'm breaking harder now What's the point in dragging me down The facts they'll set you free But they just keep lying to me There's a feeling I just gotta feed So baby let's tell ourselves That maybe there's no one else When really it's clear to see I'm on a walk for that girl These shoes ain't stopping for any other But I guess I missed my turn Cause I'm chasing after a walking girl Say anything Just wanna hear you sing No matter what the words are Cause even when they're calling me to stop At least they're calling to me But won't you just get out of my head My body's tied to my bed and I'm begging Please don't let me love you like I do
3.
Call me any name you like And I'll choose a type to fit the style (Hey!) I'm Bill and Jack and Daryl too And every one of us is please to meet you Because whichever face I wear You can count on one of me to be there So come and take a walk with me We can split our personalities Tell me what I said again Because I don't remember anything Oh yeah it could have been some other me Maybe Mr. One, Mr. Two, Mr. (5, 4, 3) It's a complex kind of mind There's just too many digits to divide But if you take a walk with me You can see some personality Because you know whichever face I wear You can count on one of me to be there So come and take a walk with me We can split our personalities

Sleep Reaper 03:19
In the corner of the room Like a passage in the dark There’s a photograph in sepia, the edges curling It was damaged from the start Just let me sleep And recollect my memories My light is burning low Leave a message, cause you missed the window I’m not at home Where do our dreams go to die Cause I’ve been dreaming of the night I lost it all And I love the way it feels But it’s killing me I’ll take the first train out Don’t need a second thought about it It don’t feel right without the motion pushing on Cause taking seconds breaks the Message into less than what it meant Now it’s getting so much worse Being locked inside this restless room

Bumpy 05:03
I’m leaning on someone’s shoulder tonight Everyone standing by the television Why make the feeling when we got the pretty lights Why set the table when we’re only drinking We were sailing down a river not a thing gone wrong She said something about the weather But it’s getting bumpy, shaky, knotted Once we let it take control So I’ll make the next one Stronger than before Cause I think I hear the morning calling But this night ain’t over They keep asking where you gonna go when the party’s over Your manner ain’t a matter of fun But the audio’s lost, now I’m just talking to talk Feeling claustrophobic at a table for one So open that door, stop saying my name If you lock me in I’ll just find some other way Cause I’m looking out for that sweeter sound I don’t know my destination but I think I’m going Down, down down
9.
River running splits the earth Drop of water floods the world Swim until you taste the hurt Or you float over every turn The shadow on the harvest moon A blemish in an empty womb It brings your skin that evening chill You see your breath it seems to glow In the overgrowth The way ahead is hidden Like a sunken stone But it's easier than breaking From the undertow So close your eyes and let your senses Breathe in blind Just keep your head above the waterline Your conscience told you not to try But you instinctually fed the fire So now you've got to ride the wave That's flowing from the mess you've made

Not A Hit 06:30

Armor 05:05
Let’s skip the pleasantries Cause I’m not trying to find the flawless type I caught you looking at me No need to waste the time to get the feeling right Now this might mean nothing But I’d rather have you on my mind Instead of wasting away Feeling wasted on a previous time So lay your armor down Let’s only know right now Lay your armor down Til the morning comes around Back of a taxi cab Rollin the windows down but it’s still heating up Sharing sips, passing back and forth a paper bag Cause god knows I’ll never get enough Cards on the table We both know that this ain’t love But just for a moment, let’s help one another Forget what we’re running from So slip off those shoes and slip Into my arms I’m just another one broken So won’t you go and Lay your armor down Let’s only know right now Lay your armor down Til the morning comes around
