Track Name: Uncle Ghost
after his third drink he said
"my heart doesn't have roads
so how will I get there if I want to go home?"

I looked in his eyes and I lied
and said "you're fooling yourself,
when you sober up you won't remember this hell"

if only our demons were so polite
if only our dark sides could be seen in the light
then we could learn to live with ourselves

if only our demons were so polite
if only our dark sides could be seen in the light
then we could learn to live with ourselves

oh he's a great believer in his great misfortune
he's a parade with pitchforks and flaming torches
and after I close my eyes
he'll just fade into the night
on a new road

keep seeking
keep searching
keep knocking and it might open to you

he'll always have the road
my Uncle Ghost
dead behind the wheel
looking for a place that's real
out of gasoline
vision bleaches dreams
at the end of the road
he'll find out what he's always known

keep seeking
keep searching
keep knocking and it might open to you
Track Name: I Hate July
this isn't an apple tree
it's a building that we jump off when we are stuntmen
this isn't a branch you see
it's the bridge of the starship Enterprise and we're crewmen

the sun is up and the grass is high
there isn't a cloud in the whole damn sky
that's why I hate July
that's why I hate July
that's why I hate July
that's why I hate July

hiding out with the bees I ask
when she finds me will she kiss me or will she kill me
I'm a ten year old Superman
strong as bullets, jumping train cars, fast as buildings

I touch her hand and she blinks her eyes
I'm never again gonna feel this high
that's why I hate July
that's why I hate July
that's why I hate July
that's why I hate July
Track Name: Serene
under the tunnel in the night
you told how you survived the flight
and I saw stranded in your eyes
the final light I had inside

from a thousand feet above the ground
looking down you cannot hear the sound
of the shattering of hearts
upon the cobbles in the dark

it's all serene
it's all serene
it's all serene
it's all serene
Track Name: Oh I See
last night you woke up in the middle of your darkest dream
kinda noble and kinda naive
on your shred of land
you broke down you stood up and you hollered 'til your mind was heard
and now you're feeling a little absurd
cause all the demons have gone

well that's right it's alright
if you stay in place you'll see the sun
there's no shame there's no gain
if you steel yourself just like a gun

a fog fell and stole all of the promise of another day
and you're both listening and trying to say
that it all has a point
you can't see the insides of your eyelids
though you close them tight
like someone's stolen the ambient light
and you don't care that it's gone

well that's right it's alright
you can make yourself into a stone
let the weather and the chisel shape you
'til you've been atoned

last night you told me of a story that you once had heard
couldn't remember a goddamn word
but you know that you laughed
you tried to drag me with you through the forest of your reverie
and I thought "oh, I see"
Track Name: Valentine
everybody wants a valentine
cause we're all afraid to die alone
Track Name: I Might Imagine Grace
when I see your shining face
it freezes me in place
it's how I might imagine grace
it's just so beautiful it hurts my brain
