Intro (Another Day)
Brennan

A dark street In a midnight Ford
You're wearing me down On your own accord
And you say You'd leave today
If you could I'm sure you would

Chorus
But even if you went away
You'd be back another day
What's the point? Why don't you stay?
'Cause every time I hear you pray
To have it any other way
There's nothing I can do or say for you

A bright light And an open palm
A sad face And a sadder song
You still say You'd leave today
And if you could I'm sure you would

Chorus

-------------------top----------------------

The Greatest Move Brennan and Lewis

Your eyes Scare sanity away
You act Like it's any other day

Chorus
Steal the night Steal your heart
Take the sunlight And it'll be the greatest move
That you'll never see

Your skin Melts winter into spring
Reminds me That you mean everything

Atlas shrugged and let you in Ignoring innocence and sin
When you blinked I stole your skin
Lately I've been feeling thin I always lose you always win
Your tongue is laced with saccharin
And I believe That everyone should see
You're not the girl you claim to be
And I believe…

Time's here But it won't be here for long
And I try To paint you in a song

Chorus

All this Is but a flash within the pan
And our love Trancends the dreamers plan

-------------------top----------------------

My Apologies Lewis and Brennan

Spinning in place like your marionette
And all of my cares you seem to forget
My vision and hearing are both blurred
Whose wrath did I incur?

And oh how I wish I could think for myself
Now leave me to rot on your sacred shelf
The anger and the hatred how they burn
Turning my soul to spurn

Chorus
Sorry for talking Sorry for thinking
Sorry for being Sorry for seeing
Sorry for dreaming Sorry for screaming
Sorry for speaking up I guess you never cared

Staring in space; cold metallic gaze
The stars aren't aligned the moons out of phase
I was robot but now I have feeling
Now I know all the skin you've been peeling

Chorus

Break break away from this cold steel
From these your tragic flaws
'Cause time it is your new God
It is your only way home

-------------------top----------------------

The Picture Show Brennan

Sitting above the traffic lines Sitting up high on your Hollywood signs You're feeling fine
Trying to get inside a criminal mind You're taking your time On the 409

Falling away into a colder space Tears rolling down your face They're staining your briefcase
Smell the sea and lose your taste You're keeping up pace But you're losing the race

Chorus
And I want to let you know You're nothing like the picture show
And I feel that you're on your way You're well on your way to a brighter day
But who could say?

You can search all you want but you'll find that there's nobody here
It seems that you're in the clear Wipe away that phony tear
You're sailing on the ship of fear Melancholy career And you'll soon disappear

You'll realize what it's like to be Living in this world for free Just you and me
Drop the anchor pay the fee The deepest sea The tallest tree

Chorus

-------------------top----------------------

Starshine Brennan

Sell your story Give up the rights
Pay your lawyer End your sleepless nights

Your youth, your beauty and your charm
Are walking out the door hand in hand
Raise the alarm

Steal my thunder Leave the rain
Collect the alimony It's all you'll ever gain

Your auburn hair glints in the sunlight
Like a love affair
I'll be dreaming all night, all night, all night.

Chorus
And I think you'll find your time
Will be better spent
Living a life of high crime, cheap wine, starshine
And it's high time you realize
Nothing's heaven sent
Except for perhaps the hi-fi, blue-eyed night sky

Are you finished? Are you through?
You have yet to tell me Something new

Looks like you win another game
What's the score now?
Indifference to pain

Amadeus J.F.K.
Music's stopping They don't know what to play

Your symphonies, dead Kennedy's
Are straining on my ears now Now we're living silently

Chorus 2x

-------------------top----------------------

Not Scared Lewis and Brennan

Hold your breath We are not scared Between history and the future..

Wait for it Don't get ahead You won't feel a thing close your eyes Never wake up

Blood-stained teeth Taste your defeat What were you hoping to change Get back in line

-------------------top----------------------


Fire By Night Brennan

Snow like smoke Across the road Your mind Awoke
Fire by night Beneath the satellite You'll find Your sight

Take a look At what you left behind The still You shook
Eyes like ice Your gaze is so precise You don't Look twice

Chorus
Your eyes are shining Behind silver lining
Your heart is pounding Echoing resounding

No surprise It took a thousand tries To realize
That time stands still As empty hearts refill You'll see It will

Chorus 2x

-------------------top----------------------

As You Blink Brennan

Delight in the feeling You're on your way back home
It's in sight, though you're reeling You've been so long on your own
Your hopes hit the ceiling You lost all you had to show
Crawl back, take to kneeling And you won't be here alone

Prechorus
And it seems life has passed you by
You can't say I never tried
But I wish you would

Earn your daily wages Believe everything you read
Flip through pristine pages What a life you had to lead
Wise men, mystic sages Guide you to a sure defeat
You'll go through the ages Never knowing what you need

Prechorus

Chorus
Thank me for seeing
Your heart was bleeding
Go on Go on

Letters you'd be sending If you hadn't spilt your ink
Wounds that needed tending Finally sever your last link
Those you were befriending Disappearing as you blink
Trouble neverending Your fading sun is soon to sink

Prechorus

Chorus

Go on….

-------------------top----------------------

Queenston Heights Brennan

You lost your life
At Queenston Heights
Did you pray for me
As they read out your rights

200 years
Same old fears
Ships full of heartbreak
We've commandeered

Chorus
And I'll remember you
A shadow clutching your precious gun
Will you remember me
A candle lost beneath the sun

Send in the troops
And your rifle groups
You're running in circles
Systematic loops

It's hard to tell
Who's wrong who's right
But it hardly matters now
Under seren skies

Chorus 2x

You lost your life
At Queenston Heights
Did you miss me
As they turned out the lights

Shine… Cry… Live… Die…

-------------------top----------------------

Smile Brennan and Lewis

Walking down The path of life Your friends lie But that's alright
Be prepared But don't you dare Stop smiling

Chorus
Sometimes you feel like the world's against you Your face hurts from painted smiles
But don't you let them bring you down You're just here for a little while

Your hometown Is out of sight Old friends miss you But they don't write
Life's unfair But don't you dare Stop breathing

Chorus


Crescent moon Velvet goldmine
Sailing away into the night

Shooting star Flashing headlights
Be seeing you on the other side

Hit a snag Your life's on hold
If only you would Have been told
Be prepared And don't you dare Stop smiling

Chorus

Chorus

-------------------top----------------------

Outro Brennan

You left today
I didn't really think that you ever would
But it's alright
I'm feeling good

I'm feeling fine
I'm feeling like you never really left me behind
But still I'm wondering

Why… Why don't I cry
Sit here and smile
Smiling while my time just rolls on by

-------------------top----------------------

Effloresce Brayley

When I wake up from my slumber
It's only been a half an hour
It's the middle of *INSERT MONTH*
But I'm about to burst into flower

Chorus:
And I don't want it to stop!
I want to play 'till I drop!
Bombs are falling and so is the sky
But I'll be dancing even after I die!

Time is flying like an arrow
But I deny it, I'm in nirvana
Got no concerns about tomorrow
And I could stop this, but I don't wanna

Chorus

Chorus

-------------------top----------------------

This is What I've Seen Brayley


Some people close their eyes to the world
Close their eyes at the first sign of catastrophe
Other people they dig their feet in the ground
And take as much as they can before it's history

I've seen structures taken down
and nations overthrown in a single war
I've seen babies robbed of a chance
And I've seen rodents given more


Chorus
This is what I've seen, what i've seen
I can't say that I'm proud of it
Just take a look around you, you'll see
This is what ive seen, what ive seen
But i'd never give it back again
I'm not living for myself


I've seen foundations washed away
And people die because of an unknown disease
I've seen poor kids die on the street
And I've seen rich men who can't say please

I saw a bomb kill a busload of kids
Gave a letter to a wife of a KIA
I saw a friend get shot while we were at school
And I've seen the mushroom cloud display


Chorus


There was a girl and she couldn't walk very well
She said I want to move like everyone else
Do you believe that God can heal you now
Rise up and walk Your faith has made you well


Coda
This is what Ive seen, what ive seen
It's more than I could have imagined
Just take a look at what's been done
This is what ive seen, what ive seen
final bit of sanity
final bit of hope
