Longest Ride 03:36
cramped space on the open road five hundred miles from home this is a hell of a time to find you can't stand the company of your fellow man and its not even worth trying we could be piled in the backseat headed to the next town we could be filling up the pages and working on the new sound but you can't see beyond your own anxiety and fear why would I want to be anywhere but here I never felt more alone than last night after the show for the next five hours or so can we ride in silence on this the longest ride home call of the open road thought it would save your soul but its been a hell of a time nothing great is ever easy so here you'll find no sympathy its not even worth trying we could be smiling in the office lying through our teeth we could be reading a good book before falling asleep I won't be dying in the suburbs counting down the years why would I want to be anywhere but here

Optimist 03:13
taking back your part of the house from the shadows encroaching in the hallways but don't you fear there's a silver lining to everything that calls us back when you wander afar from the beaten track no rest when your head hits the pillow its not the good things that will keep you up gettin harder just to ignore it as I get older, I know I'll still fuck up lest you take me for an optimist stumble forward, refusing to go down sunlight peaks in once the dust beings to settle and all we see is the silver lining to everything that calls us back from the edge of all things turning black the roof creaks just before it caves in

Begin Again 03:07
I've been waiting for my life to start over I've been waiting to begin again so far there's no resolve or closure always thought I'd find a better end it just wasn't meant to be I've been waiting for this page to turn over for the next chapter letterhead I've got to regain some composure feel the pull of the author's pen why does it seem to be so hard to know where the time goes when I'm lost in my head does it burn up feed the flame with things left unsaid I've been waiting for my time to come for my chance to ascend I've been waiting for my life to start over I've been waiting to begin again its just wasn't meant to be have you taken the time to consider all the lack of reasons to escape maybe I'm the one being bitter maybe I'm the last thing in my way why does it seem to be so hard to know I don't mean to be ungrateful for all of this but oh, who wouldn't want to try again

plastered across your window over looking the ground below starry eyed and innocent all holding out for hope with passing time where was that change you wanted most do the young and loud start movin' out and giving up the ghost little bits of protest are getting harder everyday why even try for actions when its easier to say there's so much space here inland, that one day will be the coast the rising tide can't stress your mind you've given up the ghost aint it easy just to let go its only more frightening the more that you know can't hear the fighting with your ears closed to the indignant screams of those that dream and can't believe the irony of apathy and giving up the ghost aint it easy just to let go can't be bothered by the things that I don't know so raise your glass up with me now here's a toast to the young and loud all movin' out and giving up the ghost
