At night when I feel like I’m dying inside I go and push the pedal just to see if I’m alive Burnin’ all night out in these dead end streets man Cause everything else just feels stuck on repeat And that’s why... I’m racing deeper through the night You work all your young life just to get somewhere Until they take it all away and leave you with an empty stare Well, I don’t give a damn you can have it for free I’ve got my finger on a feeling you can’t take from me And that’s why… I’m racing deeper into the night Yeah! And that’s why… I’m racing deeper into the night I’ll burn more than a hole in their pockets tonight I’ll take it to a point man PAST THIS LIFE Out on the roadway I’m the god of the asphalt Nothing can stop me, as long as I lose it all As I drive on by their houses in there rows so neat I see them staring out their windows staring at defeat They just keep nodding their heads and they start fading away And I just don’t know what to say, I just don’t know what to say And that’s why… I’m racing deeper into the night

I feel the light shining Within these city lights and Under these open skies I'll find you waiting tonight I hear the masses sighing Waves of dreams crying Far from the place where they Hunger to be more And I feel the light I feel the light I feel your charm fighting The trouble I've been hiding Life lies awake to be Finally made In the records of the bars The feelings gone too far On this borderline at A crossroads in time And I feel the light And I feel the light Underneath the broken screams and Standing in open screens We find ways to carve out Something in life The chapter's left unwritten Desire's gotta be lifting You hold the keys and boy You're in the light And I feel the light I feel the light Do you yearn to be more than just the feet standing at the door? Feel the air breathe Underneath your broken wings Keep a face of steel beams Beneath in between Look down the avenue and you're... Too young to love Too old to let go Just two prisoners of Our own lonely worlds I'll still be there I know you can see me I know you can see me

Audiobook 02:33
Anchored to the limestone Excavated walls of dirt Who knew that it'd be forgotten? Abandoned after the first hairline crack Forests burn and oceans rage So then shall we erode the same Tear out the lath and plaster Oh, maybe this is up too Have you ever spent so long in a single place? Have you spent all your sanity on faith? Don't want to lose you to Another self-help volume Now I can't believe in permanence But I need to learn the ways of past and future tense Trying to believe that nothing has a rightful place From which to deviate Forests burn and oceans rage So then shall we erode the same

Scottsbluff 03:30
I work in Scottsbluff, in the oil fields I work all day 'till my hands, feel like pins and needles They bring me down here, and when I grip the steering wheel There's nothing there at all, they no longer know how to feel Do you see yourself hiding in the face of everyone else? I work in Scottsbluff, I've always been on time Like the ones before me, trying to get what's mine But when I see the old workers, marching an army defeated I can't stop looking for something I can't see to shake this feeling I work in Scottsbluff, couldn't see myself Couldn't ask anyone, where they were going with themselves, And now I'm standing here, waiting for the bus at the station, Wondering where it'll take me, if it'll change my relations Do you see yourself hiding in the face of everyone else?

Illusions 04:01
And I have come to the conclusion That there's just no easy way out I wake up and cast on my illusion Fade away until I feel without Time has a funny way of choosing The people who tend to feel left out The past is just a mechanical illusion And I've got to find out what I've got Well I, I want to find Give my regards to the illusions That broke away the second you walked out Never one to question their elusive Way of leaving me in doubt Well I, I want to find Said I, I want to find I said I, I want to find Yeah I, I want to find...

Feel your past running by Like a vision in the night And you, find yourself out at sea again Find yourself just trying to believe New dreams on these streets eyes I was down in that muddy water You were up in the thick city I was, moving with the time before it erased me Trying to find the evening to bring out and brace me From the love that we need to find And now, Don't hide yourself away Just don't hide yourself away Just don't hide yourself away Hey now, Well don't hide yourself away kid Just don't hide yourself away Just don't hide away tonight Just don't hide yourself away Even if those feelings they fray Just don't hide yourself away now Hey now, Just don't hide yourself away Even if those feelings they fray Just don't hide yourself away And you're just trying to run away from All the promises that were broken The ones that contain you the ones that sustain you Tonight on the line of what's real and what's inside On the edge far away from home But now, Don't hide yourself away now Just don't hide yourself away Just don't hide yourself away now Hey now, Just don't hide yourself away now Even if those feelings they start to fray Just don't hide yourself away yeah Just don't hide yourself away now If those feelings they start to fray Just don't hide yourself away Just don't, yeah Don't hide yourself away now Just don't hide yourself away now Just don't hide away tonight

TORMENTA Closing in To a pin Can't see a thing Foolish kind A one track mind Show me your ways and note the maligned WAY BACK HOME Could it be the big one? I'll blow a fuse tonight And you're just trying to find your way back home Trying to find where you belong Blood foaming to a rapid boil What a repulsive sight Trying to find your unknown (Out of my depths) Trying to find your way back home (and out of my mind) You don't have to see them You don't have to feel them You don't have to believe them Now Tensity, constriction Opposing forces meet at the jaw Try to find your way back home (Jawful of shattered teeth) Trying to be (who gets the last laugh?) Fracturing enamel Swallow shards of calcium raw Tries to find you way back home Just trying to find something that don't feel so alone now And it feels so alone And I feel the air change (Feel the air change) On the city lies the visions of our youth (Visions of our youth) In the citadels and colors I wanna find some truth! Guarding our secrets from the places back home To find these new dreams on these streets That can be so bright and cold NEW DREAMS Stay with me We're fallouts from a broken scene Haunted down by these broken dreams Just looking for some saviors on the missions hall But I know if we don't leave here We'll never be saved at all Don't let the apathy in Stay with me Stay with me I know it gets tough We gotta find out what we feel We gotta find out if its real Stay with me Stay with me Stay with me now Every day is a new day Don't let them take it away Stay with me Stay with me Stay with me Stay with me now Here

Smog 03:40
You're feeling rough taking the life out of the night Got the gates in front you and the keys in your eyes You're all dressed up like you're going somewhere You've had enough of this place and you're just coming out of nowhere Well I keep getting younger everyday And girl the people around here just fade away Start shutting all their windows to the smog they only see their friends when one just happens to be gone Now I'm looking at you and you're looking at me Wondering how we can be so alone but feel so free And as you hang your head out the window searching for a life Asking if a dream needs to die for it to feel alive I wanna go out tonight I wanna give it one more shot But when the light turn up will it reveal what we're not Are the heroes we saw just not what they seem and The truth was always cutting through the screen

You know the drill The morning wont stop the day but Still keeping to yourself The innocence they can't take away Stepping out on the corner of 6th Reaching for a feeling that sticks oh no Taylor works from home Hazel eyes peek out From the window To the world below Takes the trash out at 4 o clock oh no Don't it feel like all your balloons have been popped And all the stares for the exit are all lost And after your tired of playing your own party Now don't we all have a right to find something To get us through the night Grab your coat, fix your shoes, take a walk... And the poetry of the streetlights seems to have left this night Its just headlights and headlights and headlights and little Little lost lies pounding out your insides And you catch Taylor As a glimpse on 3rd and Stately With a stare looking too far gone Like a cut up drumbeat and your Just a couple of lost souls trying to Grasp onto something Grasp onto something To get you, get you through the night Its another lonely time But you pull something out of it The light beneath the trees A rock n roll song on the radio The smile of an old friend The tough of a word on your neck Awaiting dawn like a prayer far gone To get you through the night
