Track Name: War & Peace
goddammit, i've lost a game i wasn't playing
these hearts weren't meant to bend with conscience
weighing
i've known so long just what i wanted
i've felt so strong, remain undaunted

these lies are thick, but the light breaks through
now i know better than to wish my life away with you
what goes up must come down
what goes out will come right back around

arm yourself

quick to lead and quick to bite
the easy path to trump the right
first to fly and last to fight
a lover once, but not tonight
Track Name: Second Wind
remember once afraid to move?
that it might take the best of you?
such desperation tested you
with every breath, with every pill
with only time to kill
keep pushing onwards, up the hill

you never leave, you'll never grow
you'll never make it through the day
you'll never fight, you'll never win
until you find another way
you've left the best behind
the worst is come and now it's here to stay

no more will silence take its toll
i am under my control
another lung is kicking in
the way is through, my eyes are wide
i'll see you on the other side
i've hit my second wind

and when you've come to find yourself adrift at sea
believe in me
and when it sends you to your knees
the heart and soul to rend
you'll learn to bend
Track Name: No Man
chip on your little shoulder
just one track on your mind
if you tug it any harder
you're gonna wind up blind
but i bet you think you're special
i'm sure you've got the moves
you know you've got it coming
and so goddamn much to prove

you're gonna do whatever it takes
go on and push until that spirit breaks
you get on, you get off
you stay savvy to the plan
no pride, no shame, no dignity
not a shred of human decency
you're no man

you've made your preparations
been planning out your crimes
smokey glances in the mirror
gone over all the lines
and you're just so fucking special
entitled to command
can't wait to get her walking
you're gonna make her understand
Track Name: Deeper
looks like someone's crawling deeper now
into the bottom of a cold, dark heart
this was an exercise in breaking ground, and
shaping sound
and it's tearing me apart

i fear i feel too much

here comes the slap across the cheek again
something deliberate and something still
i still can't reconcile the making rounds, the
settle down
and perhaps i never will
Track Name: Stella
the last goodbye still feels the same
overcast, a threat of rain
clench your teeth to quench the pain
nothing ventured, nothing gained

it's never been so clear to see
you were the better part of me
a rose by any other name still stings (bleeds) the same

i'm holding it all in my hands

black and white to fill the frames
a voice i'll never hear again
there's really nothing to explain
i'll never be the same

the hardest part of waking up is doing it alone
Track Name: The Rubicon
i gave when you had so much left to learn
i gave and asked for little in return
stood resolute while criticism flew
lead to believe i had a friend in you

i'm sure you cooked a story inside your head
to justify the selfish shit you did
you book your own excuse
your actions speak the words you hide
doing all that you can not to meet my eye
you vindicate yourself
at the expense of someone else

how'd it come to this?

the cold snuck through the cracks at winter's end
one chose to break, the other tried to bend
not satisfied with speaking out of turn
came home and found you'd left the boats to burn

the perennial victim, indiscreet
convincing yourself that you've found your feet
like i'm something to overcome
with a compulsive need to make believe
that you're caught in the crosshairs, unwittingly
you vindicate yourself
at the expense of someone else

who marched across the rubicon?
you did, baby
Track Name: Rents
did i choose this road or has it chosen me?
can't always tell where this desire leads

all this time
all these dreams
you were there
beside me

should i hold this ground or is it safe to leave?
one tiny part of what's surrounding me
there's never been a guarantee
that what i give comes back to me
the act becomes its own reward
assertion of my own accord
that's fine with me
Track Name: Siege of Troy
helen, i know you're in there
i'd know that heartbeat anywhere
there's so much to say
and though time gives me away
there's enough here left say
i will wait

and if you can't come down
i'll scale the walls tonight
wait out the stars
and cast your bonds aside

ten years strong
i'm holding on
for love like letting go

send my regards to paris
i am not afraid
you are the light by which i'll always find my way
Track Name: Shame
waste your breath, you waste my time
that one's yours but this one's mine
try not to get the two confused
(i know that's hard for you)

line up the pieces, play your game
how cute, they all look just the same
but when it's done and playtime's through
there's no one here for you

miniature queen of a miniature castle
head in the clouds and your thumb up your asshole
you're tired, irrelevant, willfully ignorant
certain to shuffle the blame
delinquent to honour your duty
and that is your shame

try my patience one last time
then push it well across the line
such sacrifice and discontent
(you just play innocent)

with utter disregard you call the play
a price that wasn't yours to pay
you'd lost as you'd begun
may you rot here for all that you've done
Track Name: Interesting Times
hold it in
how do you define your sin?
call his name
still won't make you whole again

what do you have to say?

break your vow
if only she could see you now
kneel and pray
absolution yours to claim

what do you have to say
to the bones in the ground?
