In The Night, Through The Day What I Have Found Will Soon Fade Away Four Winds Blow A Sultry Scheme What You Have Gained Is Only A Dream No Need To Gather, Leave The Past Behind ‘Cause I Am Lookin’ All The Time The Fortunes Fit, Hear The Scream All Is Truly As It Seems Forbidden Lusts Are So Benign Facts Are Ugly, Lies Are Divine Taste The Blood, Hardly Wine But I Am Lookin’ All The Time Deep In The Night, Shallow Of The Day A World Extinguished And In Total Disarray The Prick Of A Rose, The Scent Of A Thorn Fear Is Beauty And We’re Reborn In The Night, Without A Sound You Are Discrete But Glory Bound Curtains Of Black, Visions Of White I Ain’t Goin’ Down, Babe, Without A Fight I Gained The Reason But I Lost The Rhyme But I Am Lookin’ All The Time In The Night, Through The Day What I Have Found Will Soon Fade Away Four Winds Blow A Sultry Scheme What You Have Gained Is Only A Dream No Need To Gather, Leave The Past Behind ‘Cause I Am Lookin’  All The Time Taste The Blood, Hardly Wine But I Am Lookin’ All The Time © 2008 Matt Stanley (SOCAN)

Long Night Long Lay In Sight Trouble Bubble Screams Delight I’m On Alert A Red Light Special Vanity Screams Delight Don’t Tell Me Just To Forget Don’t Tell Me Just To Forget Don’t Tell Me Just To Forget Don’t Tell Me Not To Cry A Line Is Drawn A Line Is Crossed A Lie Is Told To Trust In Wealth To Trust Yourself To Trust In You Don’t Tell Me Just To Forget Don’t Tell Me Just To Forget Don’t Tell Me Just To Forget Don’t Tell Me Not To Cry © 2008 Matt Stanley (SOCAN)

Whole 03:57

It’s A Damn Shame It Had To End Up Like This I Never Ever Even Heard A Word That I Could Have Dismissed I Was Paralyzed, Then Demobilized, But I Could Still Walk I Mesmerized, Then Was Criticized For The Way I Talk It’s A Long Way Down, Even Though I Haven’t Reached The Top In These Lonely Nights The Desperation Pours Out Of You In These Lonely Nights Couldn't Even Love You If I Wanted To Could You Make Me Whole? Could You Make The Sun Rise Or Fall Apart? And When The Cold Wind Blows Could You Stop The Rain From Pelting Us To Death? Could You Make Me Whole? I Bit My Nails Down So Low I Couldn't Feel My Hand I Took The Very Same Subway Train That I Was Born In I Was On The Stand, I Raised My Hand, And I Swore I’d Tell The Truth But Every Word That I Said Contradicted The Proof It’s A Long Way Down, Even Though I Haven’t Reached The Top In These Lonely Nights Sometimes The Answers Are Right In Front Of You In These Lonely Nights Couldn't Be The One If We Were The Only Two Could You Make Me Whole? Could You Make The Sun Rise Or Fall Apart? And When The Cold Wind Blows Could You Stop The Rain From Pelting Us To Death? Could You Make Me Whole? © 2008 Matt Stanley (SOCAN)

Not Enough 04:07

The Raindrops Are Falling The Sky Has Turned To Grey Feelings Of Motion Scream My Name The Picture Is Calling But It’s Time To Turn The Page But The Feelings Seem To Rise Against Our…. Love Hearing From Far And Wide Feeling Lost Against The Tide When The World Is Not Enough When Too Much Is Not Enough The Raindrops Are Falling She Gathers The Rain Feelings Of Love Rise Once Again Words That Were Spoken Never Meant The Same Wishing That Time Could Just Replace Our…. Love Hearing From Far And Wide Feeling Lost Against The Tide When The World Is Not Enough When Too Much Is Not Enough You Know, The Smile That’s On Your Face Used To Take Me Far Away But Now I Can Not Move At All Words Don’t Matter Anymore You Know, The Smile That’s On Your Face Used To Take Me Far Away Hearing From Far And Wide Feeling Lost Against The Tide When The World Is Not Enough When Too Much Is Not Enough © 2008 Matt Stanley (SOCAN)

Sailing To The Shore The Sea Has Swallowed All The Hopes And Dreams We Used To Have And Now They've Broke On The Wave The Clock It Ticks Away It’s Hard To Recognize That Time, It Changes Everything Best Not Get Left Behind Nowhere Left To Turn You’re In The Middle Of An Ocean Of One Million Hands They've Come To Take You Away Time To Step Away Set Forth On Journey’s To The Deepest Of The Darkest Trenches In Your Mind Nothing Matters Nothing Matters, Now So Much Left So Much Left Somehow All With Me All With Me, Now All With Me All With Me, Now Can’t See What You See Your Eclectic Taste Leaves You In An Empty Shell Of A World It’s Been Broken For Years Can’t Be What You Need You’re Dragging Me Into A World Where Free Love Is A Cult Children Aren't Sacred It Seems They've All Abandoned You How Does It Feel To Know The World Won’t Surrender At The Snap Of Your Fingers The Young Were Made To Fall This Boy Ain't Even Old Enough To Go And Take A Drink Old Enough To Take A Life Nothing Matters Nothing Matters, Now So Much Left So Much Left Somehow All With Me All With Me, Now All With Me All With Me, Now © 2008 Matt Stanley (SOCAN)
