Pictures 04:01
Sing the blues when you are low If you ask me I will go To the fire down below To the ocean floor Don't let the pictures on the wall Fade with looks tilt or fall Knowing better than us all How to arrive and then withdraw I'll feel better when I am near The blues can't touch me if I hear you And the sun it wakes me when I sleep To thoughts of you I think I'll keep Pictures of you

American 04:00
Inside my house we had forgotten now Inside my house we had forgotten how To live in the country with three white stones Surrounding a flag of branches and bones Of mirrors of contracts and signed armored clad Of the ways we play circus to hide what we had They won’t tell me what I am to be an American I’m here but my hearts at sea, oh they won’t speak for me And someone spoke too soon they got caught again And the kids they lost their breath in the revolution They settled for houses and for small kids To tell them the stories of when they were young The warriors they thought they’d become Now hide in the surface like the roots from the sun They won’t tell me what I am to be an American I’m here but my hearts at sea, oh they won’t speak for me I will stay up late and dig my own trench I’ll ask all the questions they never present And it’s sick and it's vain and it’s hard to explain To question the role or the play of the game Not for your founding father or for the new born threat Not for your radical breach that you tend to forget Not for your good mother or the weight of her debt Not for your children at sea but for your own way to Tell what you are to be an American I can’t live by your words and remain the person which I came They wont tell me what I am to be an American I’m here but I’m losing my cool, no I won’t wait for you

I never thought that God was there And if He was I didn't care I look back to what I've done All I'm proud of is being young I knew it once before And she knew it once before And they knew it all the while That the dying old were once the wild and young When the walls break When the walls shake When our guard's down GIve up the kids When we all wake When the day breaks When the morning comes Give up the Sun When the fields are wild When we're chasing fire When the kids shout Give up your dreaming days Not for anyone I never thought that God was there And if He was He didn't care I look back to what I've done All I'm proud of is being young I knew it once before And she knew it once before And they knew it all the while That the dying old were once the wild and young

Father Spirit Holy Son I won't follow where you run And superstition Has hung me dry Black cats in my eye But if there was something I was meant to find I'm afraid I left it behind And if there was someone I was meant to be I'm afraid it'd still be me And if I was younger than Than I am now Would you forgive all that was done All that I did I'm just a kid Father Spirit Holy Son I won't follow I won't run

Wildcats 04:50
I am waiting all alone in this attic With feelings of the things I'd known Before the fabric was sown into the ways we've grown And stitched with sadness That I am me and I alone must sort this madness Grown with what we have And wild were the young like cats The little bird we found today Had fallen off the horse It lay there in the stinging rain The steps upon the porch But looking up the nest had stayed Forever static To leave home them we thought was brave But now seems tragic Grown with what we had And wise were the old with hats Oh dad dad you had said Son when you're older You'll finally be the man you are Need no reminder That love is all But life is more Than what you bartered Now fix your debts and play the hand that you started Grown with what I had But now I'm older than that
