Cynical Believers s.tagliere Verse 1 Every witness is gone, you should be out of the woods It’s too soon to gloat, it’s still under your foot The crunch of dry leaves, now they know where you are You need to get back, to who you used to be When the good news was good, and the truth set you free It’s only a threat, ‘cause you’ve pulled it apart Chorus You’re not gonna take a side Just might be the biggest lie Next to saying you really tried Why would you believe what they say Why would you believe Verse 2 Shoes you can’t fill, so why would you try You hope they get theirs, you want some of mine But you’ll never accept, that none of it’s “ours” Called to be kind, clearly don’t understand It starts in your heart, and it flows through your plans Suspicion’s your gift or the plank in your eye Chorus Bridge Don’t know what you don’t know Don’t know what you don’t know Don’t care that you don’t care If you don’t see the problems you wont have to solve ‘em If you don’t see the problems you wont have to solve ‘em If you don’t see the problems Nothing has to change Verse 3 Every witness is gone, you can reshape the light You’re changing the plot, and you look better each time Some of the 10, maybe only 9 You need to get back, to who you thought you’d become It’s never too late, but you might have to run So much to make right, and it’s gotta ring true Chorus Tag - why would you believe, what you don’t want to hear What you don’t understand , what you don’t want to accept You don’t want to believe, you don’t want to believe

Ready To Go 03:02
Ready To Go s.tagliere Verse 1 You think you’ll use the pieces I don’t think you’ll ever find ‘em They’re fading out so quickly You’ll never recognize ‘em Chorus 1 They’re rolling their eyes but they want us to stay and fake it It makes ‘em feel good but what they don’t know, that it’s gonna explode and they’re not ready Calling us out but I don’t think they’ve paid attention You can’t trust a word I’m ready to go, are you ready to go are you ready Verse 2 I thought I saw the problem Now I see what was behind it Now I know they had your blessing But you never choose a side Chorus 2 They’re dishing it out but they want us to stay and take it Year over year what they don’t know, Is that it’s gonna explode, they’re not ready Tying a knot rollup the blinds so petty Here for a job now I’m ready to go, are you ready to go Are you ready Chorus 3 They’re starting a war whisper so loud so foolish I guess they feel right but what they don’t know, is that I’m gonna unload and they’re not ready There’s never regret there’s nothing but blame and I’ve waited too long now I’m ready to go, are you ready to go are you ready Tag It’s never made sense now I’m ready to go, you’ve been ready to go, we’re finally ready It’s over line and I’m ready to go and you’ve ready to go, we’re finally ready

Never Again, Never The Same s.tagliere Verse 1 Separated by a voice so confusing so polite We’re both staring at the knot that we know we can’t untie The whispers never leave they sit on my window sill I thought there’d be a light or some warmth to hold us still Chorus 1 We wont find it here at the edge of forgiveness I know that we’ll have to jump in We wont find the cure if we watch from a distance Still takin’ more than we give We saw it then….never again… never the same Verse 2 Separated by a dream or the hope I held too tight We both see it as a threat but it’s mostly out of sight It’s not what I would choose for the record to be clear It’s not what you expect and you’ll regret it when it’s here Chorus 2 We wont find ourselves at the end of the journey We’re probably closer to home I wont find my voice in the trail of your echo We might need to leave it alone We saw it then….never again… never the same Verse 3 Thrown together to provide a picture of relief My anger brought your tears and your tears forced my retreat The whispers stick around I wish I had understood The damage in feeling right, in just knowing that I could Chorus 3 We wont find the clues while we stare at the ceiling We have to be willing to try I wont see your heart or know what you’re feeling till I let you look into mine Chorus 4 Helping ourselves helping each other We know where we need to arrive Pulling the thread will it unravel Is it worth keeping alive We saw it then….never again… never again… never the same

Pray So Loud (It's All For Show) s.tagliere Verse 1 Set apart make the same mistake You know it’s wrong but you never turn away You pray so loud You want them all to see The role you play and who you wanna be Chorus When you cry you got them thinkin’ that you’re someone else I see you’re calling back and it can only mean one thing You ran out of your lightning Verse 2 You pray so loud You hope they hear it all They take the bait You take the late night call What you give away What you bring back in Gonna heal the sick And let ‘em hurt your kids Chorus Verse 3 You leave the kids To do it on their own Dance all night Take another loan You pray so loud Still not making sense It’s what you want But it’s not what you get Chorus It's all for show
5.
Doesn’t Check Out s.tagliere Verse 1 Something is missing It’s still too vague The terms were settled Signed and saved She keeps it blurry Helps her spin The shapes and sizes Who gives and gets Chorus Wait for the static to reach you Holes that she can’t explain her story doesn’t check out We’ll be told it was just a mistake Wait for a separate accounting her weakness will go all the way Her story doesn’t check out We’ll be told it was just a mistake Verse 2 Something is missing It’s all too vague We’ve been lied to We’ve been played Tensions building What goes around It always comes back She knows the sound Bridge A suitcase on the floor of our closet Storm drain turned on a faucet Anxious to secure the profit She cares as long as she’s paid But we were only 3 hours away Chorus Wait for a separate accounting Weakness will go all the way Her story doesn't check out We'll be told it's just a mistake

Yeah, But What If You’re Wrong s.tagliere Verse 1 Yeah, but what if you’re wrong Are willing to hear an uncomfortable song It’s true you might need to change The things that you build and the way that they break Yeah, but what if they’re right How far will you go are you willing to fight Chorus 1 Wanna talk about a civil war History depends where you were born All you ever had to do was ask It’s even on a map Verse 2 Yeah, but what if you’re wrong Are you willing to sing an uncomfortable song It’s true you might have to run The rule’s gonna change to include everyone Yeah, but what if they’re right It’s not what you have when you run out of time Chorus 2 Wanna talk about what isn’t fair More than what you need and none to spare All you ever had to do was care But you wouldn’t take it there Chorus 3 Wanna talk about walking by faith Brushing off the finer points of grace All you ever had to do was watch And you don’t like admitting that you’re caught What if you’re wrong And what if they’re right
7.
Something Lost S.Tagliere Verse 1 A beautiful heart Open all the way All there was to give We assumed that it was safe I took you on your word, you took everything that you could get You always find a way denying what you just stepped in Try to make it right And you dig a bigger hole Hearing from the past But you didn’t need to know I guess you need to change the truth to get out of bed I guess you need to disconnect to live with what was said Chorus I think you might remember why every time your numbers shift Every time you taste your words on your bloody lips Every time you end up short with it closing in It’s never gonna feel that way again Verse 2 All of my life Hearing what was wrong Count the money first Then decide not to sing along I know you had to find a way to keep your conscience clean But it didn’t make true and it doesn’t give us what we need Try to make it right But it’s deeper than you thought They’re calling it a tie But everything is gone Magnify the dream minimize reality The screws are getting’ turned but it never costs you anything Chorus Verse 3 Changing my tune But it wont ever find a voice Count the money fist Then justify your choice It’s easy when you hide the part that you can’t keep straight It’s harder when I’m out of rope and when I’m out of faith Chorus

When You Reach the Bottom s.tagliere Verse 1 That was the last time I’d fall for those words It was a promise even if just a whisper We took the long way with precious cargo A future blind spot we’ll regret tomorrow Chorus When You’re ready you’ll want it back You’ll find an escape When you’re ready you’ll make the call And you’ll know what to say Verse 2 The things you can’t have and what’s expected Too many rules for the shame you’re collecting Manic fever rising around us Stop yelling timber start pulling your pants up Chorus Bridge – What do you think about when you’re driving home When the lights are off and you’re all alone And who will you blame tonight and how will you start that fight Will it help you to feel right Verse 3 That was the last time I’d fall for that trick It was dishonest it’s not why you called in The broken branches that might not grow back Half wit statement caused double whiplash Chorus When you reach the bottom When you reach the bottom You'll know what to say

Close Enough 03:07
Close Enough s.tagliere Verse 1 If I hear the words you whisper, will it mean that I'm close enough If I feel your arms around me does it mean you’ll lift me up Chorus It’s not covered up by fear, It’s not overcome by years We can’t see now one day it will be clear Verse 2 If I see the lights off in the distance, then I’ll know which way to run If my path become uneven, If I fall you’ll pick me up Chorus It’s not covered up by fear, It’s not overcome by years We can’t see now one day it will be clear Wont let it have my hope, I’m gonna make it home We don’t understand but one day we will know If I hear the words you whisper will it mean that I’m close enough

Getting it Wrong And Making it Right s. Tagliere Verse 1 Hold your questions We’ll answer at the end - The weeks have piled up And ya haven’t found a friend - You tell the difference everytime you sign the check Chorus Promise yourself and hold the line or do what they say and change your side Getting it wrong and Making it right Verse 2 Disapointment The only one around - Ya can’t remember What this is all about - Say forever Hold it in your mouth Chorus 2 Folding it up set aside Build what you can with the last of your pride Getting it wrong and Making it right And making it right and making it right Chorus 3 Knocking it out but was it prescribed? All by yourself and you still wanna fight Getting it wrong and Making it right And making it right and making it right
12.
Mission Accomplished s.tagliere Verse 1 You grin as these stories are told But there’s no cause to bring them around Could be there’s guilt you wont show Could be you like keeping us down Chorus Mission accomplished You’re feelings are hurt You followed your pattern And you found a raw nerve Still hit the bullseye Still make it worse And you feel justified Verse 2 You grin as these stories grow old No cause to keep them alive All of these years and you’re still broke Nobody’s buying the lies Chorus And you feel justified
