Autumn 02:34
It's just a dream, a memory Nothing ever returns, nothing ever could Everything that leaves us, oh baby, it's for good And I'll only be a memory, oh yeah When you see the dark I hope you still think of me Nothing in my dreams Black leaves falling only in my dream, goodbye Nothing in the night to hear We all gonna see it in the daylight, I was never there I was never there Black leaves falling I was never there, oh And I'll only be a memory When you see the dark I hope you still think of me

It takes me down lonely and still Only sounds make the trip up my hill All I can stand for now is here At the end of the day I hear them go Clear, as I stay with the devil I know, with the devil I know All I want is to want something real again And here I fall, and here I fall with the devil I know It takes me down with the devil I know, it takes me down When I'm in a picture I can make them think I'm anything It isn't any different being out of the frame When it wants me, it can find me anywhere and take me Though I know it isn't there because we're one and the same

The silence I craved scores the tragedies I used to wish for Midnight was always too early to have any depth All that I want now is what I refused to see All that I wanted was beautiful misery Taking my time til the time tells the tale tethered to me I should have known that the story would never end well We found our star but kept it far for fear of burning The world was bright, no chance of night, til it kept turning Midnight was always too early but nothing cuts like too late Midnight was always too early but nothing cuts like too late

Curtain Call 02:22
I can see though it seems I've shut my eyes to the light show and shadows, just biding time under the pale devil sky I'll climb I think I'm ready to go home Jaded, I find that there's nothing to say but I'll try to fake my way through this I don't hold regrets or pride, I just find it cold so circle the firing squad and fire Speak your mind, there's not much time left I know you'll find something else to ignore One less voice crowding the choir if it's my choice and all the same to you I'm ready to go home

"This time last year, we lost our scene" She says, rehearsed with the flow of a machine "We got so bored that I don't mind Those weren't people, only pieces left behind So I leave them behind" My star had fallen before it formed The seven thousandth humming insect in the swarm And from below, we look above Strangely pining for the life we're now sick of But could not leave behind "One day, they'll know" is her cry of war It sounds at once determined, hopeful, lost and bored Is there some word in old lines we scrawled Some old reminder why we wanted it at all Before it left us behind?
6.
Doctrine 02:18
"It's everyone for themselves" "It's everyone for themselves" "Believe in all you ever feared" "There's no place for heroes here" "It's everyone to themselves" "It's everyone to themselves" "Fear everything you don't believe" Until your rally for relief is "Nothing to me, nothing to grieve"
7.
Follow Time we have, soon to be the time we had and nothing more Where I'll be, like before Epitaphs, hijacked memories now written on the sun Start again, back from one Weren't we supposed to be everybody's sky? Where the end began, some wasteland where my old personas lie Where we watched our best selves die, oh, I follow Coming down from a high that I forgot I'd fallen to All this time, never knew Still around, I've outlived more scenes than anyone recalls Here they rose, there they fall Weren't we supposed to be everybody's sky? Another silent view when their time is through One from few, and the muse makes two Lover, what else could I do but follow?
8.
Afterword 02:03
Where would all the regrets and sorrows hide But in the waves left here from Eden's tide Made up of every tear that was ever cried for a moment lost in vain? The sunbeams from some dawn in retrospect Throw light on consequences of neglect Paint over everything that could reflect it and the shadows still remain It's all too clear after a thousand hints Valued things are never permanent Another day, perhaps, and ever since, but now, there's just tonight Somewhere the story's opening anew Somewhere someone's just promised they'll stay true Though I couldn't make it there with you, someone's bound to get it right
9.
Ascent 04:00
Exhaustion's still an option and it's closer than it seems Though they do their best to tell me the end is still just a dream But it's not the end I'm dreaming, only just where I belong Where we wrote our own beginnings, make it all up as we go Here, a lonely yawn of decades Laying still, counting grass blades as they grow And I could lose another moment saying things I've said before But the diesel men are talking, and our bourbon's running low Running low, running low And I suppose I've still some of those "wasted mornings" I could spare I suppose
