Track Name: The 507
I'll take the 507 when I leave you
I never want to, but I've got to work it out
I'll stand strong for you all day long
But when the doors close on the 507 I crumble down

I'll take the 507 up to see you
'Cause there's no where else I'd rather be
Out there's a world of questions, I just don't know dear
But I'll feel alright when I'm by your side tonight

It takes me up, it takes me down
None of these floors can heal me now
In the morning, late at night
I ring the bell to get back in the fight

We'll take the 507 when it's time to
Six floors of memories
Doors close behind and open wide in front of you
We'll go hand in hand, arms full of hopes and dreams
Track Name: Home
It's the golden outline
And those dirty brown skies
I strain my eyes to see clear

It's the weaving out and in
Stuck on freeways with angry men
With nothing in our hearts but fear

There's no Sunday west of St. Louis
There's no God once you pass Fort Smith
It's a heart broken state, a desolate place
But California's the home that I miss

It's the blazing hot sun
Earth quakes, fires and the guns
What could keep me from such a place

It's the tale of the ninety-one
Always going but never gone
I'll drown in a sea of brake lights
Track Name: Medic
Nothing has gone as expected
When things change, they change fast

Don't go gently into the night
Rage against the dying light

Words won't speak what I need to say

Bring in the medic, sing me a melody
Bring in the choir, calling out harmonies
Bring in my friends, stomping our feet
Bring me the medic, for the words I can't speak
Track Name: Some Things To Say
Some things I've been told
But I really don't know
If your heart is the size of your fist

I've been searching my soul
And I put a heart sized hole
In the wall right above my old bed

If this is it then I've failed the test
I'm all in full, giving up on the rest
I'm not here alone, but it seems that way
I hope I see you soon I've got some things to say

I'll go down from here
To where the water is a little more clear
To be baptized, and maybe find my life again

But I was buried in fear
When I rose again I came up insincere
I can't even remember the words that you said
Track Name: When Is Enough Enough
All you need is nothing, but most people don't have that
I've got so much to offer, that I can't take what you're giving out

When is enough enough
When will you say no
When will you turn me away
How far will you let this go

I'm coming to the alter with a forest in my eye
I'm passing out the water, when my cup is bone dry

I'm here, I'm pushing my way through
Giving my thoughts sooner than they are due
I'm busy, I'm doing good things
I'm working my way to you, or so I think
I wrote down those words, I sang all those songs
Won't that count for something, when it's all done and gone
I give out of my excess, love when I feel loving
Cry when it's convenient, work when I can be seen

What am i doing
