Glass Display Anatomy 03:41
lyrics

High profile Everyone knows the score Count your blessings Just to leave them all at the door Run your lines on the ticker Paste yourself in the picture Quick witted, slow thinker Got a knack for pointing fingers Look around, check the crowd Walk in place, think out loud Mentally you’re well endowed Smart enough to play the clown Say you act in accordance with yourself Yet the face in your mirror is someone else Dress it up, press it in, you can hardly tell Oh well, hell When it all comes down I got a feeling you won’t be around High profile Everyone knows the score Count your blessings And then leave them at the door Kill your insides Pour ‘em on the floor Is it everything we want and more? Glass display anatomy Perfect exit strategy Prayers after tragedy From the patron saint of sanity Saw the act, your performance went so well That the face in your mirror starts to melt Finally, the mask holds to your shell So unwell Watched it all come down Yeah, I knew you wouldn’t be around Royalty without a crown Scream without a sound High profile Everyone knows the score Count your blessings And then leave them at the door Kill your insides Pour ‘em on the floor Is it everything we want and more? Is it everything you want? Everything you want... High profile Yet I forget the score Please remind me I know you need it more

Blueprint Blue 04:10
lyrics

Rip out the page if you know the words Trust the process and break the curse When the walls decide to cave I’ll be making my way down Just to be the one Who cleans it out Top to bottom Until I’ve found Until I’ve drowned Squeeze out my last sound It’s black and white and red for you Paper thin, held up with glue But if you can stand to hear it’s true: I think you could change the blueprint Rip out the page if you know the words Aim your shot at the mockingbird Give ‘em something they haven’t heard Just trust the process and break the curse All the nowheres just to spare the hurt But if you play your part, I swear it works So why suffer and make it worse? It’s just like we rehearsed So if there ever is a day You can dig your own way out Press your shovel in this steady ground Top to bottom There’s always something to be found Don’t take the easy way around It’s black and white and red for you Paper thin, held up with glue But if you can stand to hear it’s true: I think you’d look great in blueprint blue Rip out the page if you know the words Aim your shot at the mockingbird Give ‘em something they haven’t heard Just trust the process and break the curse All the nowheres just to spare the hurt But if you play your part, I swear it works So why suffer and make it worse? It’s just like we rehearsed I think your blueprint is fading Slowly you chip at the painting I’ve seen your blueprint, it’s fading Your moon is waxing and waning Oh no… So if you can stand To hear it’s true Well, I think you’d look so good In blueprint blue Rip out the page if you know the words Make amends even if it hurts If it’s something that they haven’t heard Just trust the process and break the curse All the nowheres just to spare the hurt But if you play your part, I swear it works So why suffer and make it worse? It’s just like we rehearsed Rip out the page if you know the words

Not Steady 02:54
lyrics

You say “It’s not steady, this old Chevy, she takes her time” Two say That they’re ready but it’s Too heavy To put in drive White eyes Stare back and Start laughing They take their time You’re still Backtracking Jaws slapping Like you bought the smile I just wanted another place to occupy my mind It’s not selfish, it’s just a better way to spend my time If you don’t mind… Tuesday I’m packin’ My bags and We’re skipping town It’s my say It’s my bible I have no title But I’ll wear the crown I just wanted another place to occupy my mind It’s not selfish, it’s just a better way to spend my time And if you can’t take my hand This might have to be the end 'Cause I won’t spend my time Waiting on a sign Strung on every line Ask me one last time Just for peace of mind You say “It’s not steady, you're just not ready” Now you’re out of time

Follow the Sound (Carnival Song) 04:33
lyrics
buy track
Slow down For now We can figure this out Open heads like a briefcase To say it all Rotate around Keep the ride on the ground We can stay in the same race And run at a different pace Just follow the sound Yeah just follow the sound So we can get down Set sail on a one way carousel Watch the ferry-go-round Pick a seat, watch the strings run parallel We may never come down My M.O? I just can’t help myself I think I’m coming unwound Because when it stops, I press restart Yeah, I’d still ride if there was no one around Wind it up And let it fall Oh, how I missed these misadventures Slow down For now We can figure this out Open heads like a briefcase To say it all We can rotate around Keep the ride on the ground In our own little carnival Yeah, that's always in town But we may never be found In our own little carnival That‘s always around Wind it up And let it fall Take it off Just to put it on Wait all night Just to miss the call Our open heads go through the wall Slow down For now We can figure this out Open heads like a briefcase To say it all I found The out It’s a long way around You know the scenics and byways Are my routes We can rotate around And keep the ride on the ground In our own little carnival Come and follow me down Yeah, I can show you around If you care of our whereabouts Yeah we stay underground We may never be found Oh, and that’s quite alright I think I like it here I feel no shame in my releases Couldn’t care less who it pleases I won’t fall for your deceits They're just not feasible to me Wind it up And let it fall Take it off Just to put it on Just to stay underground… Just to put on the makeup… Shake your hands with the clowns… So we can get down… Yeah yeah yeah… My insides out Yeah take a look at me now I spread my blood over state lines To count down the hours If there’s one thing I’ve found At the end of my route I’m glad I stayed in the carnival That’s always in town Though we may never be found That's alright with me Yeah, for now…

Simple Secret 03:24
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes I wish I knew what to say to you Besides everything that isn’t true I make my wish On the fountain cast with gold For my secrets never told Oh, wishing sure get old And I fold I’ve made my bed One too many times And now I’m losing sleep Can’t get the sheets back over my head again Oh, cheers to you my friend I fear no one understands I won’t explain myself to you If it never cuts through I hope one day There comes a time I’ll be there for every word I’ve got a secret that no one knows Covered up and stuffed below Good things come and good things go But I got this secret and I’m gonna explode LOOK OUT! So next time Yeah next time I think I’ll know what to say to you I know I’ll know what to say to you
