Hiatus 03:50
Never thought I'd feel this way again Sailed too far from home Caught a wind that took me back again Back to where you once roamed Hiatus did the best for me Helped me find myself Hiatus did the rest for me Put my past on the shelf Chaos to order, I crossed a border Now I'm finally home Worth every damn penny spent Return was heaven ‘cent’ Hiatus did the best for me Helped me find myself Hiatus did the rest for me Put my past on the shelf Order to chaos, I ventured across Uncharted land Learned my story, over sacred ground Now I know where I'll be found Hiatus did the best for me Helped me find myself Hiatus did the rest for me Put my past on the shelf Hiatus did the best for me Helped me find myself Hiatus did the rest for me Put my past on the shelf

Disconnected 04:04
Still motion on the seashore Don't leave, draw the blinds Kill the moment that you pleaded for A dream store of minds It ain't real until it's posted Pics or GTFO Whatever happened to the moments Unauthored and unbound We're disconnected We're closer yet further away You'd rather wait for an update Than change your state yourself Go on now you've got things to check A life of heck, submit Dream weavers conspiring To sell your life's footprint We used to be so very weary Now we give it all for free We're disconnected A touch has gone astray
3.
Going Slow 02:43
Going slow Riding low Keeping under your motion In mind's ocean Stage some more Dine for four You said your word was golden Should have known then Walking out Turning in Giving up You said to roam less Let's get undressed Texting me Message me You want me to come over Undercover Taxi out No way back For my heart was broken Once you opened Mend my heart Patch it up Need to see some progress Under duress Going slow Going home Need to retrace my cold steps To my life's mess
4.
Talk me down oh so softly Bridge the gap that was awfully Across my heart Oh, where to start? It fell apart at the seams Dreams can pull us together Yesterday's no better So look ahead What was said? You left my bed for the sea Take the chance that you gave me Convince me it will save me From rules I've set A heart’s roulette I don't expect to win
5.
Climbing 04:46
Here I go again So soon since the last time Bring me over that wine It's my time to shine So we move away Smile once again Move away Smile once again Climbing the walls again You're my eyes and ears Smile away my vanity Modesty to insanity And we move away Smile once again Move away Smile once again Resolution come find me I'll be around the bend Talk me around once you're inside Maybe then I'll decide To move away Smile once again Move away Smile once again
6.
Molly 02:50
Molly holds your gaze (in strange ways) Puts you in a haze Takes you on a trip (moves you from the hip) Makes your aching heart skip Oh Molly, get a grip Oh Molly, take me with Molly's walked out your door (get up off the floor) Got no time for you no more Don't come crying to me (since you tried to flee) When Molly leaves your scene Oh Molly, get a grip Oh Molly, take me with Falling out, falling out Out of love with you She caught an out, caught an out When you were being you Oh Molly, get a grip Oh Molly, take me with Oh Molly, all night long Oh Molly, I’ll be strong

Father 03:07
Hey, don't want you to go Hold my hand some more Never thought this day would ever come Heart don't beat a drum No more, no more No more, no more Close, but still so far away A life that did not sway too much Along a sky of blue A love that made it through To shore, to shore To shore, to shore
8.
Moot Point 03:17
Mask your sorrow Ask to borrow One more night of his time To ask “What's the story?” Is but a moot point Let's just leave this damn joint Walking away Through the sands of time Hopefully reaching A land so fine To ask “When do we get there?” Is but a moot point Guess this love's just disjoint Throw me a cue Keep me away from you Maybe next time I'll resign To ask “Who's the loser?” Is but a moot point You never did want to disappoint
9.
Point Reyes 04:03
Thousand miles down the coast To the place I love the most Orcas to Inverness Sea, sights, sounds, and the rest.. Point Reyes, Point Reyes, Point Reyes Sets my heart ablaze Point Reyes, Point Reyes, Point Reyes Where my body stays Anacortes had a blast Walking through Deception Pass Heeded a call from the south Needed to know what it's all about Point Reyes, Point Reyes, Point Reyes Sets my heart ablaze Point Reyes, Point Reyes, Point Reyes Where my body stays First saw you through a lens Nothing more my heart intends Shining through the flowing fog Three hundred steps what a slog Point Reyes, Point Reyes, Point Reyes Sets my heart ablaze Point Reyes, Point Reyes, Point Reyes Where my body stays
10.
Chance 04:51
Going nowhere until you decide to say That you're only static waiting to decay Brave a new world, feelings are fabric anew Drive the coast road, nothing to stop your new tune Keen eyes Focus on how you Feel wise Bogus advice stems from Greed tries Don't let it swallow you whole Don't let it swallow you whole Take a chance that you never thought you would take One more glance back to a life others’ mistake Count your blessings, see the bullet that you dodged Pull the dressing off the wound now that it's gone Keen eyes Focus on how you Feel wise Bogus advice stems from Greed tries Don't let it swallow you whole Don't let it swallow you whole Keen eyes Focus on how you Feel wise Bogus advice stems from Greed tries Don't let it swallow you whole Don't let it swallow you whole
