1.	Don't Even Know 03:20	lyrics	buy track
I don't even know what I'm supposed to do Please don't step close just gimme some room Cause I don't need sympathy And I just need a melody I think I might breakdown It doesn't even seem like these people here the same sounds I think I might break free And finally figure out what the hell it is I'm supposed to be I think I might break through And start living my life like it's more than just something to do And once I get my brain free I'll find out what it means to me Chorus Repeat I don't even know what I'm supposed to say Please don't come close or get in my way Cause you don't feel the things I feel And I don't feel the things you feel
2.	Bite My Tongue ft. Nicky Mackenzie 03:47	lyrics	buy track
NICKY Turn my head Is it really is it really worth it to Feed that flame Burning up yearning for the days I could Feel that same Sense of craziness praising all the running around in the Same damn way But I don’t wanna be the middle man MATT Bite my tongue I just wanna say something but I Turn and run I don’t wanna waste my time but In my heart I just wanna scream and shout but I Just can’t start MATT AND NICKY On your high horse You’re just entertaining me Preach your precious words Really you're not saying a thing Bite my tongue I just wanna say something but I Turn and run I just wanna down this drink and Throw my punch Like burning money in the sink it would just be a Waste of fun Yes you sound crazy But it don’t make me Feel like I should agree I could expose ya But I don’t know ya I don’t need closure On your high horse You’re just entertaining me Preach your precious words Really you’re not saying a thing
3.	We Went Our Own Ways 03:38	lyrics	buy track
We were quick to go steady But I was trouble when I came around 18 I wasn't ready You needed a man who could settle down I started moving like a rolling stone And thought about you on the way home But I still couldn't stay You cried, and I cried We went our own ways Call it a blessing in disguise Call it a curse if you want to I know I took you by surprise To tell you the truth I didn't know what to do I thought that maybe I could find myself Turns out I probably could've used help But I still couldn't stay You cried and I cried We went our own ways
4.	Hold Me Close 03:52	lyrics	buy track
Late at night that's when it comes to me The darkness chases out the light She's the only one that comforts me And makes me feel like I'm alright Hold me close Let me know These things they come slow I can't explain it so Hold me tight I can see These things so clearly When you are holding me Angels watching us thats what she said The only way we got so far All this sadness is just in my head This life don't have to be so hard Hold me close Let me know These things they come slow I can't explain it so Hold me tight I can see These things so clearly When you are holding me Hold me close Let me hush Angels are watching us I feel your loving touch Hold me then I can breathe Breathe it in silently When you are holding me
5.	Wishes 02:36	lyrics	buy track
Blow a kiss Make a wish and never tell me Keep it close I don't need to know about Certain things Are better kept to yourself The water's still But somethings bubbling underneath it And I don't Necessarily need to see it What's on the surface Is good enough for me What I can't see Maybe I wasn't meant to see Blow a kiss Make a wish and never tell me
6.	I Can Wait 03:21	lyrics	buy track
Destruction leaves so much inside of it’s wake It feels just as real as it does feel as fake Seems like nothing as it shifts this paradigm Feels like not much but there is so much time And I can wait for it patient Yes I will wait for it patiently I can wait for it patient Yes I will wait for it patiently Oh my heart, yes my heart has changed so much I don’t, feel the same as I used to feel oh yes I, used to feel so much I wanna get free Wonder if I can free myself
7.	Just You 02:49	lyrics	buy track
Come here baby I wrote something for ya Come, come listen baby You know how I adore Why don't ya tell me how it feels when ya hear it That's all I care about And if it makes ya feel good when ya hear it That's all I'm worried bout Just that and nothing else Just that and nothing else Come here baby I made the bed for ya Come, come sleep with me I'll see you in the morning Why don't you tell me what ya dreamt when we wake up Yes we can talk about it I'll tell ya just what I dreamt when I wake up Maybe it was about Just you and no one else Just you and nothing else Why don't ya tell me how it feels when ya hear it Yes we can talk about it And if it makes ya feel good when ya hear it That's all I'm worried bout Just that and nothing else Just you and no one else
8.	Don't Fade 04:30	lyrics	buy track
All the things you said to me Is it real or just a fantasy All is fair in love and war, they say I could only pray, that we don't fade away I could only pray Maybe I'd apologize If I didn't think that I was right I'm ok but thats just me, I see Sometimes the smallest things are the ones that set you free Smallest things are the ones that set you free I agree to disagree Live my philosophy Got to move patiently Good things will come to those who wait Feels fast but life moves slow Sometimes I just don't know Still I could never hesitate And I could only pray that we don't fade away
9.	Lucid 04:57	lyrics	buy track
All my dreams they wait for me When I go to sleep If only I knew what they mean Maybe I could find some peace Cause when I try to run away My feet just seem to sleep When I try to hold on tight Well I just cant keep my grip What's in my heart, is in my head The mysteries of, this life that I've lead When I think of memories Sometimes I feel deceived Cause some of it's reality And some is in my dreams I don't know what's up from down Won't somebody tell me please My head it keeps on spinning round And I feel weak in my knees Whats in my heart, is in my head The mysteries of, this life I've lead
10.	Hold Onto This 04:39	lyrics	buy track
Once this train slows, where you gonna go You never stopped to think, now you don't know You prided yourself, with being on your own Now you can't find, where you call home Places that you seen, are fading in your mind You struggle just to grasp, the concept of time Maybe you won't learn, just what it all should mean Maybe all we're good for, is making memories Hold onto this, before it slips Hold onto this, before it slips away You showed me your face from, an old photograph But moments like these, they ain't meant to last You do all ya can to, remember what ya did It'll never be the same, so you should just live Hold onto this, before it slips Hold onto this, before it slips away
11.	Purpose 03:37	lyrics	buy track
Some day I wonder what they Might say If I ever left This place Maybe I went about it in the Wrong way But I never would Know it I know those more Than just what I can see With eyes I just can't help But wonder where we go When we die I think about Can't stop thinking about it I wonder if I'll ever know Some things We never think About them Till they suddenly Show up Locked in Never knew what we were Holding Till it finally Blows up Maybe these questions Will answer themselves In time Maybe our loved ones Will always live on In our minds I think about it Can't stop thinking about it I wonder if I'll ever know
