Close your eyes and try to get some rest I'll be gone all night There's work out there; I'm putting in some time So you don't have to cry Not now baby, got a debt to pay The cost is high and i'm pretty far away from home Not now honey have to settle a score; I gave them everything They need a little more and the sun's gone underground Say your prayers and if you have some time, Say mine for me tonight 'Cause it's cold out there Everybody's trying to sell their gods to me tonight The Thief's in Heaven and the Brakeman's home And the World's gone crazy trying to win back its own soul Our father songs used to make us cry for the melodies we dance to in the night Alone, because the sun's gone underground Not now baby, got a check to cash I think I won the race, but I can't seem to laugh The moon and the stars have been washed away I'm stepping out into the light of day At last because the sun came back around The sun goes underground But the sun comes back around

Name 04:39
It's all hellos and goodbyes Nobody really says your name around here I'm in love with a skyline It baptized my dreams and left me with my fears And i'd change my father's name Just to sell a song 'Cause we're trying to make our way But it feels like something's wrong Now i'm trying to remember when our hearts were young and strong And everybody said we'd never stand a chance But still our words were filled with love In everything we did and everywhere we went It's all dollars and silk ties I've got one blank page to tell you who I am And they promised the high life But the rich advise and never lend a hand I could find another name I could wright a different song 'Cause we're trying to make our way But it feels like something's wrong Now i'm trying to remember when our hearts were young and strong And everybody said we'd never stand a chance But still our words were filled with love In everything we did and everywhere we went It's a hard thing moving on From the best laid plans of men, to tears and cigarettes But there's a vision that we saw on nights just like these That we'll learn to see again.

Outside your window Your heart in your hands I cant find the words now But I never can All at once You were gone I Turn the ignition I've Nowhere to go This city is empty And you were my home And all at once My future's gone Looking back the road was long We were young and full of songs But this is not a race that's won by most Every night i'll fall asleep To find you in my whiskey dreams You have gone and left me with your ghost I'll take the last exit On 143 What's left in my rearview It's the last thing I see When all at once Looking back the road was long We were young and full of songs But this is not a race that's won by most Every night i'll fall asleep To find you in my whiskey dreams You have gone and left me with your ghost Like bagels on a Saturday Pictures left inside their frames The Message on my mirror that you wrote The scent you left on all my clothes Little yellow post it notes You have gone and left me with your ghost Lipstick on my favorite scarf Your kisses left behind like scars Always and forever like you wrote I'll slip away with one more drink to find you in my whiskey dreams You have gone and left me with your ghost I'll slip away with one more drink to find you in my whiskey dreams You have gone and left me with your ghost

Light and smoke Painted pictures in my head wrap their hands around my throat Sing or choke - it's all the same here Come down hard and break my back With questions I don't want to ask Like maybe my father did his best Maybe there're others who'd attest that He fell just like the others The he got back up again Maybe my pride is all I have You know that I'm poor in that I need a victory To shake my bones I need a victory To call me home Failure sweet It rises up and clouds my eyes Then falls burning down my cheek Pence or pounds It's all the same I held this victory in my hands And watched it fall like grains of sand Maybe it should should have been the fall Maybe there're others who recall that The inkwell spilled a story Much different than my own Maybe my plans are all I have You know that I am poor in that I need a victory To shake my bones I need a victory To call me home Come down love and flood these streets Bring those answers that we need I need a victory To shake my bones I need a victory To call me home

Remedy 03:26
Pain is like an ocean Deep, dark and bigger than me But love could be the current that brings you to me You change like the skyline You burn me up with vows you can't keep You could be the light after night's long relief I fall in love every hour of the day Every new smile holds my glance for a while You'd lay down you armor just to fall on my blade But you could be my remedy Your lips are like a melody I remember the word but can't make myself sing It hasn't been the same without your harmonies I fall in love every hour of the day Every new smile holds my glance for a while You'd lay down you armor just to fall on my blade But you could be my remedy You could be my remedy Every night Every day I can't give you my heart I can't wish you away Every hour Peels Away If i'm yours it's for good I'm just after the chase You could be my remedy My remedy

Rise & Fall 04:46
Whats the word to describe it The feeling you've lost and can't find it Where's the time and place that it was last seen Whats her name, I remember The spirit you broke last december Just to see if you could 'Cause there's hope for the beggar And grace for the thief But these menial sins we've committed have teeth And they gnash We're rising and falling But we've set our eyes on a light thats growing This promise is swelling, like daggers, its crashing On shores left empty So press on through the storm We've been pulled down before Drew in our lungs, there was peace in our death there We're rising and falling But we've set our eyes on a light thats growing This promise is swelling, like daggers, its crashing On shores left empty Rise and fall Rise and fall And we rise... we rise
