- Track Name: The Gates
-
Old man waiting for a train,
He knows not where he's going,
He knows not who to blame.
He stands to cross the threshold,
Yet his weary eyelids wait,
To see those gates of gold.
Chorus:
And why must you wait my friend?
Unknowingly making your way to the end?
Run, Run, Run,
But you're crawling.
Young man, Sitting by the south side tracks,
He ain’t trying to hurt nobody,
He's just trying to relax.
He's missing something.
And that something that he lacks,
Just passed him right on by
The south side tracks.
Chorus
Bridge:
You left us so swiftly,
But you’re still right here,
As the train moves farther and farther away,
Year after year.
And when that train hits those golden gates,
Who knows how far I'll be?
But forever and ever your light is gonna
Shine down on me.
Chorus - Track Name: Red
-
Find yourself another place to fall
You do your dance and then you take it all
Don't regret what you can’t control
You don’t cave in,
cradle sin
Don't hang on your dream is turning red.
You go insane now come back to bed.
Just remember what your mother said,
Don't hang on.
Do no wrong.
Chorus:
And though you may be distant,
And your heart may feel awry,
We will be strong, forever strong,
I can see it in your eyes.
Through struggle and through hardship,
For this we don't know why,
I'll sing this song, I'll sing this song,
Under the windy skies.
You turn your back and face the wall,
Can’t get through the door,
You're a bit too tall.
Deep breath now you make the call.
Beauty falls,
Through the walls,
Chorus
Bridge:
Through struggle and through hardship
For this we don't know why,
I'll sing this song, I'll sing this song,
Under the windy skies,
X2 - Track Name: Mr. Running Man
-
Hazy New York sky.
What a sight to see;
A million different faces,
Staring back at me.
A face of those loved and lost
And like the roots of a tree
they're reaching down,
Down, down
Down to cradle me
And the wind is gonna ride on you my son
Know not where it will take you or where you will run
The rose will finally wilt,
And buildings will be built,
And you are going to stand there and watch it burn
Riders of the night
Flying down the highways,
And know, no conscience do they show.
High up above,
Faces shrug as they watch the show,
Never knowing how long to stay,
Or when to go
But the wind is gonna ride on you my son
No not where it will take you or where you will run
The sand will turn to silt,
And you need not feel no guilt,
For you know that your work here is all done,
Oh no, no, no, no,
But the wind is gonna ride on you my son
No not where it will take you or where you will run
Your conscience stands on stilts,
And the milk remains unspilt,
Yourself you must out run. - Track Name: How Does It Feel
-
Your smile lights up every darkened corner in my mind.
I can't explain.
In your eyes, I see brilliant colors that I thought I couldn't find,
I can't contain.
Chorus:
So how does it feel to have someone to lean on?
Someone to cry to, and never to lie to?
You know, I'm a lucky man.
So ask yourself this, did you know from the start?
Now hand on the bible and cross your heart
Well you know, by my heart I knew,
'Cause I love you. 'Cause I love you.
And every time I hold you tight,
It takes me back to that cold star filled night.
I wont forget.
And every single time we ever got caught,
And every stupid story that our parents bought,
Well you know I got no regrets.
Chorus
X2 - Track Name: Map With No Direction
-
Snow falling lazily.
My breath fogs up the looking glass.
Trying to be who you want me to be.
But this train's about to crash.
Chorus:
So just give me one more chance and I’ll take you away.
And how much longer till you break?
And I’m very sorry mama but you must be mistaken.
Your boy's reading a map thats got no direction.
No direction.
I’ll exceed no expectations.
And I’ll give no explanations.
The open roads unfolding in front of me.
And I see no complications.
Chorus
Just try, and try. Just try, and try. Oh,
Chorus - Track Name: Clock Strikes Two
-
Empty bottles and guitar strings
Strewn about the bathroom floor.
I cant feel you anymore,
The smell of burnt coffee in the air,
What should I think, what should I care?
While I walk right out the door.
Chorus:
My knees will bend, my arms will break.
You ain’t telling me, what's it gonna take?
I can't tell I can’t be sure
Forces converge in your wake,
I hope you stop this for your sake.
Clock strikes 2 and I hit the floor.
Hey!
Hit the throttle and do no wrong,
60 seconds and I'm gone.
Somethings pulling me away.
Fire around the last left turn,
Just like a van I crash and burn.
I ain’t going to be ok.
Chorus
