Save Your Exit

I can't wait until that time
We won't be late and what we'll find
Will save our simple lives
1, 2, 3, rocks I see
In a stone far from home
As a group we're not alone
Count our steps, watch our breath
Check the map, how many left
How many left
There's no one around, There's no one but us here
Don't wanna be found, Leave us alone
Let us disappear
It's our time down here
Don't say die, forget our fears
We'll survive, so shed your tears
This is our time
This is our time down here
This is our time
This is our time down here
Save your exit for someone who cares
Save your exit for someone who cares

The crowd at the downtown were on their feet
The roar rose up and peaked as their hero stepped out
38 years but it seemed like yesterday
That he was new to this team, this field,
And to all these fans
Where did the time run off to, I don't remember
You were so young, I had your rated rookie card
But I left all that behind I'm not the guy that I once was
Emotionally blind, buried in imagination
Turn away from a past that never leaves you
And please don't stay in the same circles that keep you
And I'll delay because I'm scared of being no one
I've left all that behind, I'm not the guy that I once was
Emotionally blind, buried in imagination
I've left all that behind, I'm not the guy that I once was
Emotionally blind, buried in imagination
Turn away from a past that never leaves you
And please don't stay in the same circles that keep you
Turn away from a past that never leaves you
And please don't stay in the same circles that keep you
And I'll delay, because I'm scared of being no one

Visitation Days
03:30
|

The plea bargain brought a six year sentence
Out after three with three years probation left
Punished for a crime he had no part of
All for a guilty wife who deserved no pardon
The three years passed like twelve
One week passed like a month
Spending days without a word in cell block number one
You only saw your wife on visitation days
But she hadn't changed her antisocial ways
Love to some is a device
Used to make someone else the sacrifice
Love to some is a device
Used to make someone else the sacrifice
Love to some is a device
Used to make someone else the sacrifice
Love to some is a device
Used to make someone else the sacrfice
The sacrifice
You got out on a Thursday
In the middle of the night
You face lit up when you saw your old truck
And your nervous wife

Chains ring on the concrete floor
A TV blinks through the open door
Mister you're hungrier than I am
A torn jacket is what he wears
A family that doesn't care
Mister you're hungrier than I am
Don't take all the blame, it's not what's right
You're much more brave than you realize
I hope it's not too late to make a change in our life
I've got to learn to trust someone or I will die
Friends don't turn their backs on you
Make you out to be a fool
Mister you're hungrier than I am
Friends care about what's inside
They don't try to make you hide
Mister you're hungrier than I am
Don't take all the blame, it's not what's right
You're much more brave than you realize
Don't take all the blame, it's not what's right
You're much more brave than you realize
Than you realize
Than you realize
Than you realize

He's the Astronaut
03:40

2010 the year he left earth
Since then no one has heard
From him, no contact at all
Earth and sky have all disappeared
And all that's left is dark and fear
He's the astronaut in the solo craft
He's regretting his choice to volunteer
Spinning circles in an asteroid belt
Is not what he'd prefer
Left alone cold but still alive
Far from home he dreams of those blue skies
Only hope is left behind his eyes
Constellations passing by
Without wings but still he flies
Constellations passing by
Without wings but still he flies
He's the astronaut in the solo craft
He's regretting his choice
He's the astronaut in the solo craft
He's regretting his choice to volunteer
Spinning circles in an asteroid belt
Is not what he'd prefer

Darlin, I don't wanna go through with this
I don't want you to do this
I just wanna go home
Darlin, the world seems so big
There's so much life to live
We can make it I know
Darlin, I don't wanna go to that place
Where people hate you and you're a disgrace
Don't make me go back
Darlin, I know that we can change
Make a new life never be the same
And never look back
And never look back
And never look back
Never look back, and never look back, never look back
And let's just turn around and drive the other way
Find a new town, someplace far away
We'll start again with a new life
Leave this world of sin and end all our strife
End all our strife, end all our strife, end all our strife
Darlin, do you remember that day

Falling Floor
03:09

Leave the fear behind
There won't be a place to climb
Slip and slide on solid ground
Trying not to drown
We all make mistakes
(open the falling door)
Or we'll all be flat
(beware of the falling floor)
Play the bones
Strike the right note on this old piano
Don't look back, we're far too close
Hang onto hope
We all make mistakes
(open the falling door)
Or we'll all be flat
(beware of the falling floor)
Beware the falling floor

30 Miles
04:55

The blur outside the side window
The smoke of the diesel oil
I'm all alone with the road
My next rest stop is 30 miles
There's no one on channel one
To take my call, I've left them all
Out on my own without a home
And I won't smile for 30 miles
I turn down the squelch
And forget what I felt
I'm all alone with the road
My next rest stop is 30 miles
There's no one on channel one
To take my call, I've left them all
Out on my own without a home
And I won't smile for 30 miles

Run Out Of Chances
04:05

Sitting down in the same old chair
With the same Friday night infomercials
A knock outside, grab the gun, no one gets in
Was it the cat or another criminal
Muffled whispers from the kitchen
Someone left the back door open
A shadow in the hall, both barrels are loaded
I see a face I've never seen before
Then I pulled the trigger and he took the shot
In the gut
The girl fell to her knees and she yelled aloud,
No not this
And I screamed what the hell are you two doing here
In my house
I've called the police and they're on their way here
There's no where to run, I don't care about your tears
You can't convince me to let you go free
I have no regrets and I have no pity
You never know the day your life will change
It won't be the same, it won't stay the way it was
Because sometimes you run out of chances
You run out of chances, you run out of chances
You run out of chances, you run out of chances
You run out of chances, you run out of chances
You run out of chances, you run out of chances

Paige turns, all of the words
Don't speak, she tells the world
She sees, but doesn't hear
People speak, but she doesn't care
She sees, but doesn't hear
People speak, but she doesn't care
One more word and you are gone from here
One more word and you are gone from here
The flame burns, all of the words
They don't lie, cause she knows the truth
One more word and you are gone from here
One more word and you are gone from here
One more word and you are gone from here
One more word and you are gone from here

After the long day and the courageous display
You came, you came
Sand beneath my feet, my family proceeds
No blame, no blame
Cameras appear, the media is here
It's okay dad, you can't hug a photograph
Son you've always been my best invention
The man with the contract, his prominence intact
Has come, has come
Look in the boy's bag, the marbles that he had
Are gone, are gone
There will be no signing today
There will be no signing tomorrow
There will be no signing forever
