She Said “There’s Blood In Your Tears” I Said “It’s The Calm Before The Storm” Look At Them All Standing ‘Round Like Sandlot Kids In Uniform Is That What It Takes? Because I’m Dying To Know Look At Them All Standing ‘Round Like Ants All In Their Rows I Don’t Believe You I Know You Got To Say What You Got To Say I Don’t Believe You I Know You Got To Say, I Know You Got To Say What You Got To Say There Should Have Been Another Way Another Way To Find My Muse You Take More Than Anyone Can Take Don’t Take Much To Light My Fuse It’s Time To Walk Away Nobody Ever Likes To Lose I Got Nothing To Say What You’re Selling I Refuse I Don’t Believe You I Know You Got To Say What You Got To Say I Don’t Believe You I Know You Got To Say, I Know You Got To Say What You Got To Say Save This For Another Time It Hurts Me More Than It Hurts You Can’t Get This Shot While You’re In Frame Not Quite Sure What Else To Do I Don’t Believe You I Know You Got To Say What You Got To Say I Don’t Believe You I Know You Got To Say, I Know You Got To Say What You Got To Say © 2010 Matt Stanley (SOCAN)

It Gets So Cold The Rain It Turns To Snow Gets So Fast, Sometimes You Got To Take It Slow Feels So Real You Could Just Reach Out There And Touch It Feel So Alone, Won’t Take Long To Kick The Bucket I’m Not Waiting, Waiting In Another Line Maybe I Refuse, Refuse To Be Put On Hold You Might Be Lying To Someone Else But You Can’t Keep This All To Yourself Why You Gotta Talk To Me Like That? Why You Gotta Leave Me On My Own Again? Why You Gotta Talk To Me Like That? Why You Gotta Leave Me On My Own Again? Like A Fool I Play By Your Rules Stranded In Exile, Refused Entrance To Your Room You Just Want To Stop, Well, Here’s As Good A Place As Any Not Sure What You’re Looking For But Here You’ll Find Plenty But You Won’t Stop, Won’t Stop ‘Till You Get Enough And You've Been Waiting For Me To Call Your Bluff You Say You’re Fine With Standing All Alone With No Place To Call Your Home Why You Gotta Talk To Me Like That? Why You Gotta Leave Me On My Own Again? Why You Gotta Talk To Me Like That? Why You Gotta Leave Me On My Own Again? © 2010 Matt Stanley (SOCAN)

I Know 04:28
You Got Something To Say? Then Say It To Me Stripped Bare And On Display With No Right To Attorney I’m Full Of Big Reactions Ain't Got No Calm Exterior So Many Distractions Keeping Me From Something Superior I Know, I Know I Know, Oh No I Tried To Read The Paper But I Sang Myself To Sleep I’ll Read About It Later Underneath Where The Willow Weeps I Stood For Something At One Point But My Objective Was Cursed It Brought Out The Best In Me And Everybody Else The Worst I Know, I Know I Know, Oh No Won’t You Stop Where You Are And I’ll Stop And Stare Oh Yes, There You Are So Blissfully Unaware Today Just Might Be The Day That The News Will Come I’ll Read It Out Loud In Front Of Everyone I Know, I Know I Know, Oh No © 2010 Matt Stanley (SOCAN)

Been Buried 04:35
I Cast My Sails Departing The Past Leaving This World Of Fiberglass People Say They See Me But They Don't Know What Kind Of Bodies Been Buried Below You Got To Give A Little Step Back, I've Been Watching You You Got To Give A Little Step Back, I've Been Watching You You Got To Give A Little Step Back, I've Been Watching You You Got To Give A Little Step Back, I've Been Watching You Sometimes You Got To Get Up Off Your Knees Some Say Time Is On Their Side They're Having Theirs And Taking Mine And I Know I've Never Been One To Show What Kind Of Bodies’ Been Buried Below You Got To Give A Little Step Back, I've Been Watching You You Got To Give A Little Step Back, I've Been Watching You You Got To Give A Little Step Back, I've Been Watching You You Got To Give A Little Step Back, I've Been Watching You Sometimes You Got To Get Up Off Your Knees Sometimes You Got To Get Up Off Your Knees Sometimes You Got To Get Up Off Your Knees Sometimes You Got To Get Up Off Your Knees © 2010 Matt Stanley (SOCAN)

No Silence 02:52
A Man Stands At My Doorstep As The Rain Is Pouring Down Asks Me If I Know Just When You’ll Be Comin’ ‘Round Uptight In My Presence Striking For My Fear Don’t Even Remember What It Was Like Standing Here I Waited For Silence But The World Kept Spinning ‘Round It’ll Never Cease Making A Sound Change My Way Of Thinking Am I The Only One? Tells Me I Should Stop Thinking So Young Must Be Some Kind Of Breakdown I Seems The Old Words Didn't Mean That Much Aren't You The Wrong Generation To Be Telling Me Such? I Waited For Silence But The World Kept Spinning ‘Round It’ll Never Cease Making A Sound I’m Not In It To Win I’m Not In It To Win I Waited, I Waited, I Waited I Waited For Silence But The World Kept Spinning ‘round It’ll Never Cease Making A Sound © 2010 Matt Stanley (SOCAN)

Bridge 04:33
You Don’t Have To Stick Around Wondering If I’ll Live Or Die You Don’t Have To Play The Crowd The Night Is Young And The Youth Can’t See You Lie So Far It’s Been Alright But Nothing Lasts When You Can’t Feel Nothing So Far It’s In The Past A Spectacle To Those Who Feel Something I Know You’re Waiting From The Other I Know You’re Waiting From The Other I Know You’re Waiting From The Other Waiting From The Other Side It’s Only A Photograph My Soul’s Intact Beneath My Sunken Eyes It’s Only A Knife In Your Side As It Twists You Know It’s All In The Crime It’s So Underrated There’s A Beauty In Being Alone You've Grown Agitated There’s No Sense In Being All On Your Own I Know You’re Waiting From The Other I Know You’re Waiting From The Other I Know You’re Waiting From The Other Waiting From The Other Side Waiting From The Other Side Why Lay Awake In Fear Of Something You Brought On Yourself? Why Pray Up To Something That’s Never Shown You Anything? Why Support This Broken Bridge When In The End You’ll Never See Rise? I Know You’re Waiting From The Other I Know You’re Waiting From The Other I Know You’re Waiting From The Other Waiting From The Other Side © 2010 Matt Stanley (SOCAN)
