The Hunt

The good life tonight
Set out at first light
Stars abound, the embers all put out
Listen to the sounds of night, you won’t hear in town
By lamplight
By lamplight
You can’t hide
Your lamp burns bright
You track and chase it
You take your aim
So close you taste it
Don’t hesitate
So close you taste it
By lamplight
By lamplight
You can’t hide
Your lamp burns bright

Ain't Life Sweet
03:35
|
|||
The stars have all come out, but I can’t see
These city lights distracting me, and I need
Something, nothing more, I’d love to be
Happy with the state of things, but that’s me
I fall and I get up, I’ve learned to breathe
The air set out in front of me, and it’s free
To live is gift enough, I don’t need stuff
Reminding me that I’m unique, ain’t life sweet

The Actor
03:43
|

These eyes have seen
Enough to have opinions on things
I won’t bore you, nor will I say
Exactly what I mean
You won’t fool me, I’ve known deceit
A human chameleon I see
I don’t know you, but I know your game
Insecure of yourself, I’d say
Walk through life like a one man play
Learning different roles all along the way
Outside I’d say you’re quite confused
Everything you say and do is vague

Bitter
03:43
|
|||
Inside, all the effort it takes to ignore
Outside, brush away all the things I deplore
Inside, keeping bottled up feels like a chore
Outside, all my enemies knock at my door
You’ll find, keeping calm is the sign of a storm
In time, may we find what we’re all searching
for
What to fight for?
Give a little more…

Lockdown
04:08
|
|||
On lockdown today in this town
The snow fell like rain, without sound
All the CTA delays, I’m northbound
I’ll sit at Jefferson Park and wait the storm out
LOCKDOWN
Chained to this town..
Can't leave this town..
The wind off the lake is frozen
Draws tears from your face as it blows in
LOCKDOWN
Chained to this town..
Can't leave this town..

The Deep End
03:46
|
|||
Life is like the deep end, you’ll notice
You learn to sink or swim
Keep your calm with deep breaths, you know this
Make the bed that you sleep in
Don’t hang on to bad thoughts, remind me
I’m constantly upset
Jealousy on defrost, I can’t see
My vision’s not clear yet
And I don’t need to tell you that, no way
We both know the way it gets, insane
(swim)

Headlines
04:14
|
|||
I read a headline yesterday
The city’s making me go gray
The most stressful town they say
In these United States
Independence Park at night
This bench is occupied
It’s the same thing city-wide
It’s the tragic side of life
|

Maze
05:09
|
|||
If everyone lost their way
No one would be left to blame
Try to figure out my place
Tell myself it’s not a race
Life’s so strange
Life’s so strange
Another crazy busy day
Getting lost inside the maze
Life’s so strange
You’re so strange
Make complaints, ride the wave
Take your shots and go away
Take your shots and go away
We don’t need your noise today

Why Not Later
04:13
|
|||
Ups and downs, I’ve had a few
Lost and found, it’s nothing new
Situations can’t be stopped
Make the best of what you’ve got
Why not later, what’s the rush
We’ve got time, so what’s the fuss
Face the day and stake your claim
The best laid path is your own way
We complain yet have it well
Sipping decaf on the El
Satisfy your every whim
What you want at your finger tips

An Enemy
03:09
|
|||
I could be there if you needed me
But that’s not the case
Instead you focus all your energy
Pushing me away
I can’t make you change the way you think
Or tell you what to do
But you know I’m not the enemy
You’d better think it through

Pendulum
05:39
|
|||
The weight of the world on me
I don’t know A from B
Tip-toe around on the edge
Afraid to commit till the end
Decisions, decisions are free
I’m spent just trying to be
A pendulum’s home in its swing
Likewise I can’t stop to think
It’s easier outside
Than making the move for yourself
Me, I’ve got more than I need
That’s quite a stretch from complete
I’ve got so much more I could give
Complacent is no way to live
It’s easier outside
Than making the move for yourself
It’s easier outside
