Track Name: You Had To
Nowhere to go
Sitting at the airport watching planes come in
Where did you go?
It’s been a really long time since I’ve felt your skin on mine

Left on my own
Left to my worst defenses
Reap what you sow
The seeds of your consequences

You promised me
You wouldn’t go
Unless you had to
I guess you had to
You had to
Why would you leave?
Where did you go?
I guess you had to
You had to

Did you do what they did?
Because we always hated
Everything they stood for
It gets complicated
But they’re so overrated
You and I know

Left on my own
Best of my worst intentions
I should’ve known
I should have paid attention

You’re a flame burned out by its own glow
Why was I so proud to be your shadow

You promised me
You wouldn’t go
I guess you had to
You had to
Why would you leave?
Where did you go?
I guess you had to

You promised me
You wouldn’t go
Unless you had to
You had to
Why would you leave?
Where did you go?
I guess you had to
You had to
Track Name: Let's Drive
Why don't we leave this place behind?
We'll pick up where we left in time
Beyond these stripes and lines
Who knows what we will find
let's take this road and we'll just drive

Relax, it’s only just a dream
Relax, nothing is as it seems

Let's take a ride
Destination is unclear
Let's drive
We'll know when we get there
Let's drive

Why don’t they turn their bright lines down?
It's making it so hard to see
I can’t tell where I’m going
but I'm tired of always knowing
So darling' that's just fine by me

Relax, it’s only just a dream
Relax, nothing is as it seems

Let’s take a ride
Destination is unclear
Let’s drive
We’ll know when we get there
Let’s drive

And I could spontaneously combust
Or just leave this city in the dust
but I gotta do something
I gotta do it now

Here is where I make my choice
Here is where I find my voice
I'm gonna take control and start to let it go

Let's drive
Let's drive

Let’s take a ride
Destination is unclear
Let’s drive
We’ll know when we get there
Let’s drive
Track Name: Bleeding Into One
What's left to say?
It's been a bad day
It's been a long, hard day
What could I say to change your mind?

Maybe this world
is just a stage you're going through
And I was a player
in your game

But now I know
that nothing's gonna change
And now I see
Your true colors
Bleeding into one

And I suppose
in the vast configuration of things
I will move on
But it feels like the grand canyon

But now I know
that nothing's gonna change
And now I see
Your true colors
Bleeding into one

Tear my city down
Wash me clean
Turn this ship around
My world is passing

Now I know
that nothing's gonna change
Now I see
Your true colors

Now I know
that nothing's gonna change
And now I see
Your true colors
Bleeding into one
Bleeding into one
Track Name: New Vocabulary
Here in this depravity
In my shaded little hole
I put on the mask of gravity
Dressing me up for what I’m not

Does anybody realize
That inside part of me has died
And I can’t put my finger on just why

I need for you
To give to me the words
To paint a new vocabulary
That everyone can comprehend
Inside a voice
Is screaming to be heard
These adjectives and nouns impair me
from bringing means unto an end
Of this

All that’s coming from my mouth
seems to leave you at a loss
Guess I need to go another route
to try to get my point across

Does anybody realize
that inside part of me has died
and I can’t put my finger on just why

I need for you
To give to me the words
To paint a new vocabulary
That everyone can comprehend
Inside a voice
Is screaming to be heard
These adjectives and nouns impair me
from bringing means unto an end
Of this

All I’m trying to say is
I don’t know just why I feel the way I do
And I’m tired of trying to act like I don’t care

If you think everything’s okay with me
Then you don’t know me like you think you do
From time to time I wish that you could
Just be there

I need for you
To give to me the words
To paint a new vocabulary
That everyone can comprehend
Inside a voice
Is screaming to be heard
These adjectives and nouns impair me
from bringing means unto an end of this
Is there an end to this?
Track Name: Nothing
Nothing, I’ve got nothing new to say now
I’ve got nothing new to say to you
Nowhere, I’ve got nowhere else to go now
I’ve got nowhere else to go today
And I’m tired of playing hide and seek from you
So I’m coming out so you can do what you would do

When it comes right down to it
I’m a man at war with myself
And it scares me half to death

I could lay it all down
But it's easier said than done
I often think that I can bear it
But I break from the weight
I could lay it all down
These fears are mostly unfounded
And even the ones with merit
Fade away in your name, in your name

Nothing, I’ve got nothing new to say now
I got nothing new to say to you
Waiting, waiting just to hear you say to me
Anything

Because your still small voice just isn't getting through
But I’d wait the rest my life to hear from you

I could lay it all down
But it’s easier said than done
I so often think I can bear it
But I break from the weight
I should lay it all down
These fears are mostly unfounded
What lurks in the shadows to scare us
Fades away in your name
In your name, in your name

In your name
In your name

I should lay it all down
These fears are mostly unfounded
And even the ones with merit fade away
In your name, in your name
