Faceless (free) 03:26
We’ve got all our friends lined up for it
 It’s a hit hit hit so hit me. We can see them all standing looking slick Perfect fit fit fit don’t fit me. You say that they’ve got not hope for the show High horse get high, on the wings because we can fly. We, we could be faceless
 Live in our dreaming state Where life can wait Look at all of them pretty broken things
 So fix fix fix, fix me. 
 But I see through all those broken lenses 
 And it’s sick sick sick sick, sickening. 

 You say that they’ve got all that big lot

 Big folks they know, but now they’re buried down below. We, we could be faceless
 Live in our dreaming state 
 Where life can wait Hey! Look at it burn, look at it burn baby,
 Look at it burn, look at it burn baby It’s coming in the streets and the cities And the places that they meet
fall to your feet. We, we could be faceless
 Live in our dreaming state Where life can wait

Feel It (free) 04:18
I’ve got a man in my dreams
 Made a house out of bricks in my head
 With my thoughts 
 Where he can sleep. 

 And I wanted to scream Sing so loud you can hear my infection Hear the sickness in me. 

 You stop ask what’s the use
 Your fingers are on the neck of the noose 
 Because the city you consume 
 Will soon consume you 
 Your love is left unused you put aside To better truths 
 Because the city you consume 
 Will soon consume you 
 Just feel it I’ve got these scars on my heart
 Show me where I’ve been And who has torn me apart
 I knew from the start 
 Saw it in the kids in the streets
 And the people in the boulevards You stop ask what’s the use
 Your fingers are on the neck of the noose Because the city you consume 
 Will soon consume you 
 Your love is left unused you put aside To better truths 
 Because the city you consume 
 Will soon consume you 
 Just feel it

 You say these dying days are dead
 But I’m still living them inside of my head So
feel it, just feel it.
 You say these loving days are dead
 But I’m still living them inside of my head
 So feel it, Just feel it.

 Just feel it.

Comes and Goes (free) 04:40
I see it all I see it grow
 It comes and goes, it comes and 
 I feel earth slipping from my toes
 It comes and goes, it comes and
 We wait on things that no one knows
 It comes and goes, it comes and
 I’ll show you dreams I never chose It comes and goes, it comes and 

 Two bodies shaking in the cold It comes and goes, it comes and
 They hide their screams so no one knows
 That it comes and goes, it comes and
 The heat it grows until it’s out of control 
 It comes and goes, it comes and 
 A quiet place left there to hold 
 It comes and goes, it comes and

 We talk we touch but we don’t feel
 But I’m feeling you and you're feeling me
 Hold it down no love left to steal
 But I’m seeing you and you're healing me. 

 The smoke it grows so no one knows
 That it comes and goes, it comes and
 The clothes they lay there on the floor 
 It comes and goes, it comes and
 These things are all so pre-proposed 
 It comes and goes, it comes and
 The things we have erase our home
 It comes and goes, it comes and 

 We talk we touch but we don’t feel
 But I’m feeling you and you're feeling me
 Hold it down no love left to steal
 But I’m seeing you and you're healing me. They came here so long ago
 They don’t know the blood they owe 
 They came here to free their ghosts 
 Free their ghosts, free their ghosts. 

 We talk we touch but we don’t feel
 But I’m feeling you and you're feeling me
 Hold it down no love left to steal But I’m seeing you and you're healing me.

The Ballad of My Bones (free) 04:54
I fell asleep with the lights on babe
 I heard my heart beat slow
 I was afraid to let my dreams out
 For fear they’d never grow
 Magic marker washable heartache
 Is all I seem to know.
 So drink my tears they go down easy
 It's your favorite taste I know. 

 We’ve got away with all these things
 They can’t take what life won't bring
 It eats away at all our sins Until
bones become the only things.

 Let's rearrange our aggressive minds 
 And freeze them in the snow
 I see through the hurt and the lies
 I started to go cold But am I washed up, you said
 "Babe just clean up"
 But I feel
stung out. 
 We’ve got away with all these things
 They can’t take what life won't bring
 It eats away at all our sins until
bones become the only things.

 I’ve got a man who lives inside
 Lives inside my freedom
 It’s a warm place, safe place to hide 
 Call on him when you need it. 

 Bones become the only things.

Ending Song (free) 02:03
I’ve got shadows inside of my head
 My thoughts are so dark got me full of dread
 I gotta run till my feet feel like lead Eyelids clasped so tight that my tears run red. 
 It ended when it starts It ended at the hardest part
 It ended when it starts It ended because you tore it apart 

 I felt love inside of my head
 I saw the night light up inside of my head
 I’m a star inside of my head
 No one lies no one cries, no one hides in my head.


 It ended when it starts
 It ended at the hardest part It ended when it starts
 It ended because you tore it apart
