One day I'll survive to see my ending What a thing to look forward to After all the stress I've been defending What do I get back when I'm through? What can a dead man get from you? I know I'm not getting any younger And it's getting pretty old Everybody says my days are numbered That's something I don't need to be told You know I already know Listen, love, I love the way it's going But it's going, that's the thing Every day's a day less I'll be knowing All the chances that I have to bring Some more love into the ring Maybe you'll beat me to your own ending What a thing to look forward to I've spent everyday constantly spending All my time and thoughts on no one but you When you're gone, what can I do?

Reprise 01:34
sometimes I'm angry to the point of seeing gray; that placid nothingness like skies about to rain; that kind of static when you've took what you can take but the drive, it just won't brake Just a moment first to figure out how I can be change for now

When you lie awake in bed With a brass band in your head Blaring trumpets call Out loud until the morning Though you try to close your eyes All your days visualize As the light it bleeds And penetrates so warming I do know the feeling (Oh I know the feeling) And I know there's only more I do know the feeling (Oh I know the feeling) Coming in from out the door Look at all the faults you've made All the values you betrayed And you'll fall apart From weight you needn't carry There are other ways, I pray Other ways to see your days Other you's to view To help make you somebody I do know the feeling (Oh I know the feeling) And I know there's only more I do know the feeling (Oh I know the feeling) Coming in from out the door You're only dreaming Too bad you can't say it's just a dream Better, bolder, more in tune Selfless, but still serving you All the things you need To be, and always nearing So you lie awake in bed With a brass band in your head And the trumpet's call Was never so endearing I do know the feeling (Oh I know the feeling) And I know there's only more I do know the feeling (Oh I know the feeling) Coming in from out the door

Reminders 03:42
I know it's always moving So where am I to stand I can't keep running circles round this rock. I'll run out of land Feel like I'm always further But on the other hand My sitting here in wonder's left me more left to comprehend I wanted something to remind me I wanted something to remind me What to do Not what I need to get done to do it How often do I lose it? The sight of what I am Or what I'm tryna be or say or even to understand I wanted something to remind me I wanted something to remind me I wanted something to remind me What to do Not to lose My own drive to follow through On a goose chase trying to tell the truth Saying something about my life saying something Maybe I'll never see it But what else can I say Maybe if you're not aching than you simply are not awake I wanted something to remind me I wanted something to remind me I wanted something to remind me To do something

Domino Bones 04:05
Weighing ways to wait's been weighing down on you Either way you're wasting days on nothing new But nothing changes 'Til you find a way to find out what to do Maybe you got plans that never made the cut Overthinking thinking over things too much Things are moving Whether you decide to move with them or not And I say What you waiting for And I say What you waiting for 'Cause that's just how it goes Make a call or fall like old domino bones Old domino bones That's just how it goes Make a call or fall like old domino bones Stacked in pretty rows That's just how it goes Take a second first to look back at yourself Jumping in like this sounds like somebody else Maybe moving's better suited to you once you can slow down Maybe that's the thought that fought you down before Maybe just don't listen anymore So I say What you waiting for And you say That you may have never known 'Cause that's just how it goes Make a call or fall like old domino bones Old domino bones That's just how it goes Make a call or fall like old domino bones Stacked in pretty rows That's just how it goes

Undone 02:18
So what if what I've become comes undone? Isn't that what got me here before? Maybe I'll never know if I got there Maybe "got there" is no place at all And I don't know if I can get back there Where I just left, but it's easy to recall So what if what I've become comes undone? Isn't that what got me here before?

(shell) 05:00
What's in a name besides just what you're called? Is it what you've been? Or what you still are? What's in a face besides your smiling eyes? Like your shining mind or your love of wine Do you remember how you used to be? Now you are different, but your name tag doesn't agree It's only a shell It's just as well That it doesn't dictate you at all You're no piece of paper from the city hall All I can figure is who I am now Don't ask of tomorrow as if I know somehow It wasn't long ago I realized my prospects aren't waiting, they're as close as my heart allows It's only a shell It's just as well That it doesn't dictate you at all You're no piece of paper from the city hall Is it a guideline Is it a theme Just a suggestion or a category Just pretty adornments before you can see What you really can be

If I'm chasing something: some beauty in the world, some kind of understanding that I have yet to learn - let's say I want it madly, but why this mortal urge? Does it possess some power like what I've only heard? Here's to hoping that something comes out of this great big mess I've been making of my mind lately - but I'm not in distress, yet. I've heard all the stories, at least what's on the news. So many people's loved ones that couldn't make it through. (Could it be me?) Maybe I'll never know now: was it the prize or just the hunt? Either way I turn it, should I quit before too much, or is this all just a crutch? Maybe I'm thinking too much... Here's to hoping that something comes out of this great big mess I've been making of my mind lately - but I'm not in distress, yet.

Mistep 03:27
How do I keep the roof from falling Every time I turn around Mis a step Every time I (Maybe I could never) <there's got to be a better way>

Plans 04:32
Get up out your head and get some workin done You got a lot of sun Left in the day You can take your time, unwind, do what you want Know this is your come up So have it your way So no destination's got you freaking out But don't mistake that now For nowhere to go Take a second first to look around for once First let your eyes adjust To all of the light To all of the sights You never thought twice about 'Cause it wasn't the time You got plans for something Get off your dry land and hand the reins away Allow the ocean spray to bring you to life You wouldn't believe the kind of shit you'll see So don't take it from me Take it in stride But don't waste your time You ought to think twice about What you hide behind You got plans for something I know that it's selfish to keep you in the dark Still I can only start To open your eyes
