Track Name: Tuned to Break
Am I making a mistake?
Are these heartstrings tuned to break?
Is your sorrow mine to make?
And your love mine to forsake?

I've been carried by a wave,
I can't choose how I behave.
So don't hold me while I cry,
'Cause I've got to say goodbye.

Your shade won't go away.
And I miss you everyday.
Maybe I ought to have stayed --
Renewed promises, maybe I ought to have made.

But this doubt is mine to bear --
And I'll bear it like a cross.
I know only time can tell
If some good can come from loss.
Track Name: Fact
I found a new world while walking across the Brooklyn bridge,
tragic though that is.
Flowers from iron sprang forth 'round my knees but somehow I smelled
those flowers quite well --
It may seem strange, but only the truth I tell.

Ostentatious, oh I just want to tell the world how I feel,
'Cause that is all that's real.
Lately my sky has been dark, desolate, dreary and grey,
And I thought that it would stay,
But you came along and unzipped a brand new day.

Just like a dog I'm quick to adore --
But that doesn't mean I can't give you so much more.
It's happening quickly, I'm begging for your heart,
And I cannot wait to gesticulate you.

Indifferent river run past me you've bigger fish to fry,
And I'm doing rather fine.
I found an absolutely unexpected miracle in the shape of a girl
I'm foregoing tact and falling in love,
and that's a fact.
Track Name: Rearview
I'm packed up 'cause I can't stick around this town no more, walking out the door
and I'm stacked up and nothing's gonna get in my way
This time there's a line that I've drawn and they've taken more than I bargained for
I won't back up and nothing's gonna get me to stay 'cause I'm on my way

Bright lights up ahead show the city I'm going to, b-b-Brooklyn New York
Tonight I'll be sleeping in a brand new bed
I can't rewrite where I've been or the people I've left behind, waste of fucking time
but it's alright 'cause the road ahead is painted red

If I could have a time or two to try again I'd spend with you them all because you make me feel so full, and baby there's a world ahead let's take it hand in hand

And in my rearview mirror, I see the world much clearer, and I know which way I should go
Please take me by the hand, you have helped me understand who I want to be and now I know
I'm ready to go

Regret is a word that I'd rather not get behind, get it off my mind
No, I won't let anybody say it's any other way
In time I may find that this place has grown stale but I'm gonna hold the line because I'm with you on this road driving day by day
Track Name: Son
There never was a star here --
Just pieces of the earth, dust and scattered air.
There never was a star here or anywhere.
I'll never be the sun that shined on you

There never was a man here --
No, just an empty suit floating in the mirror.
There never was a man here or anywhere.
I'll never be the sun that shined on you

There never was a future here --
No daughter with a bright, promising career.
There never was a future and when your life is through,
I'll never be the sun that shined on you.
