To the top of Signal Hill Bringing what you’ve carried all along What not been spoken of What daylight thought would never come For buried far beneath Were things not sought nor fit to bind What you’re looking for So far from what you are Bring the day the grace you hold Oh wishful disposition Free your body cleanse your mind Oh heavy inanition Hush the growl of sunken time Bring the day the grace you hold Shaken to the bone What are you waiting for me to say This ain’t a simple clause Or a simple way Bring the day the grace you hold

I’m not comin' home today I’ve got too much I wanna say And I’m afraid that if I start, I won’t stop And what if I get all choked up Or turn my tone against my luck What if I say somethin’ I don’t mean Please, not today, not tomorrow I’m not comin’ home tonight I’ve got no strength to hold my fight But I can’t let my guard don’t around you And I’m not comin’ home tomorrow Not lookin' for more smiles to borrow I’m tired of hiding myself underground Please, not today, not tomorrow Steppin' over sidewalk cracks They’re my canyons, they’re the facts And if they trip me up, I’ll fall way down So keep myself on level ground Don’t ask about then, don’t ask about now Just leave me alone today and tomorrow Please, not today, not tomorrow ‘Cause I’m not comin’ home today I’m not comin’ home today I’m not comin’ home

I Am, I Am 03:13
I am the burden of a busy day When nothing’s falling in its place And whether I go now or whether I stay I am the burden of a busy day I am the guest who extended their stay Nothing I could do or say Will depart me from this part I play Of being the guest who extended their stay Do you need me to go away Just say the word and I’ll obey I’ll toughen up, I’ll be okay Even if you need me to go away
4.
Tell Me Once 04:53
Moving on up, moving on out Picturing a different day now One with a little more free time One with more space to lose my mind And if I could collect our moments I would store them in my pockets Pull them out when I am lonely Hold them like the way you hold me Tell me once, no tell me twice Tell me everything will be alright Sit me up, no sit me down Tell me everything will turn around Tell me once, no tell me twice Tell me everything will be alright Sit me up, no sit me down I was listening real well when you said I would be fine In four or five or six months time So I gambled my feelings, I slept through the day Dismissing the questions that echoed each day Tell me once, no tell me twice Tell me everything will be alright Sit me up, no sit me down Tell me everything will turn around Tell me once, no tell me twice Tell me everything will be alright Sit me up, no sit me down I don’t put weight on the present A moment off so soon to past tense The future pulling me in line While I’m waiting for the world to unwind Tell me once, no tell me twice Tell me everything will be alright Sit me up, no sit me down Tell me everything will turn around Tell me once, no tell me twice Tell me everything will be alright Sit me up, no sit me down
5.
All You Got 03:05
Burning up and burning through What’s this got to do with you Say it’s your job, no it’s your fault And it’s on me for getting caught The world don’t mind, the world don’t care It’s just you that’s giving me a scare Think about then and think about now And tell me the differences that you found I close my eyes and pray that I’m worth it I’ll keep them here, I’ll keep them close The parts of me you loathe the most I worked so hard to process this The falling of a goodnight kiss I close my eyes and pray that I’m worth it Giving me flak for the things I believe in Giving me all you got I close my eyes and pray that I’m worth it
6.
The scatterings across my desk A sign that I’m not at my best Will take me as their prisoner Until I fill their requests And even when I’m on my knees They throw their heads back and laugh at me I lay my forehead in my hands I lay my time in their demands How did I fall so far behind I taking what’s in front of me I’m taking all that I could be I’m doing all that I can do I’m doing what you’d want me to I’m doing what you’d want me to Am I doing what you’d want me to How did I fall so far behind I’m evergrown; I’m ever growing old How did I fall so far behind

Passing Act 04:01
It hurt that I knew Knew that you weren’t telling me the truth Trying to protect my fragile youth With your pocket full of secrets You left me to wonder Wonder what was hiding in your heart The thickest and the strongest parts Cracking under pressure Fair enough my friend Some things are better left unsaid But goodness knows the fact That time will tell the weight of a passing act I worry, oh I tremble Searching every corner of my head Could it have been something that I said That’s brought you down this far Fair enough my friend Some things are better left unsaid But goodness knows the fact That time will tell the weight of a passing act

Follow me down to the old shoreline Cause I’m getting ready to leave this coast behind With a little bit of heaven and a little bit of hell Oh I’m gonna have a story to tell Climb the stairs to the second floor Make my way through the corridor My footsteps bounce against the walls One foot up while the other falls It’s funny how it always seems to happen this way I find myself walking back the other way Follow me down to the old shoreline Cause I’m getting ready to leave this coast behind With a little bit of heaven and a little bit of hell Oh I’m gonna have a story to tell Maybe I left long ago With a bit of you and me in tow Cause I’m half here and you’re half gone It’s been a while since we’ve carried on And now another moment’s passed me by I am an echo of another time Follow me down to the old shoreline Cause I’m getting ready to leave this coast behind With a little bit of heaven and a little bit of hell Oh I’m gonna have a story to tell
