Fire 02:49
Earth and air and water and fire Truth and lies and lower and higher You and me can be closer together I can see that we are birds of a feather Time will tell how long this thing will burn I'll let go when you tell me it hurts There's kerosene around I'll find something to do Maybe find a spark between me and you There's kerosene around I'll find something to do Maybe start a fire between me and you
2.
Companion 03:21
Full moon tonight and I'm feeling alone I head to the bar, don't feel like being home Six beers in, I spot some fresh meat I reel him in, I don't miss a beat No one can see you, no one can hear you scream You're stuck with me now All I can say is that you're not the same anymore Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Now you can't fight, let's see what's inside No one will miss you, no one saw you leave You're my companion All I can say is that you're not the same anymore

Okay 03:54
I remember when I started, back when I still thought I could It's taking longer than I wanted, now I don't know if I should Not so sure Now I'm feeling the frustration, maybe it's not in the cards Throwing in the towels is a consideration I didn't think it'd be this hard I'm giving up, I'm giving up, I've had enough. Its alright, it's ok You did your best, forget about it, tomorrow's another day Its ok, it's alright The only way to truly fail is to not put up a fight at all Not at all If I could finish what I started, don't you know I surely would It's taking longer than I wanted and it's not looking very good Its alright, it's ok You did your best, forget about it, tomorrow's another day Its ok, it's alright The only way to truly fail is to not put up a fight at all Not at all

Time Machine 03:39
I gotta get back to 2016 and warn everyone of the trash and trouble I've seen Some many dead and so many dumb, I'm here to tell you that the chice we made was the wrong one Definitely the wrong one I wanna go back, take me back, get me outta here Take me back to 2008 and celebrate a time that felt hopeful People were looking forward not back and somehow it felt like we were on the right track Oh, take me back. I wanna go back, take me back, get me outta here Take me back to 91, I wanna watch Nirvana open for Sonic Youth No cell phones and no You Tube People having fun making out in a phone booth Bumps in the bathroom I wanna go back, take me back, get me outta here Take me back to 72, bennies and ludes and rock and roll was still true T-Rex, The Stone and Big Star smoking a doob in the back seat of my car Of my car I wanna go back, take me back, get me outta here
5.
Famous 04:52
Satisfied is what you're not It's alright, you'll get another shot Que sera, sera Don't sit there looking so slack jawed Keep your eyes in the prize It's alright to feel the butterflies Get up and try again Instead of dwelling on what could've been It's alright, It's alright I know I'll never be famous or hear my songs on the radio I don't need my picture in a magazine I just wanna rock and roll Don't say you'll ever give up At something that you're good at You're doing what you love That's more than most of us can say It's alright, It's alright I know I'll never be famous or hear my songs on the radio I don't need my picture in a magazine I just wanna rock and roll
6.
Ghost 04:12
The lights are on, it's time to go home It's been so long, so good to see you There's something wrong, don't you know I can tell The look on your face tells me everything I need to know I can be anything you want Can't you see I'm hollow like a ghost? The lights are on, it's time to go home... I can be anything you want Can't you see I'm hollow like a ghost?
7.
Love 08:48
I heard them talking and snickering Pointing and laughing and mocking me They said they loved me but I don't think They understand what that means to me You got inside me and made it feel true Made me see something other than blue What was I thinking when I let you in? I should've know you'd just be a sin. But love, love. I'm having a hard time get outta me head, don't want this anymore But love, love
8.
There comes a time when you really should say What you've got on your mind There's so much less to it than you think Words are deaf, dumb and blind I forget words when I look in your eye And I feel like I could just die I can't believe that you think I don't care Maybe I should've lied Before you write me off Before you think I'm gone I'll remind you that I'm still here I'm still here It hurt as bad as sticks and stones That time when you said more than I needed to hear. Before you write me off Before you think I'm gone I'll remind you that I'm still here I'm still here
