loaded painted red - you gotta be clear, when you're talking to a kid, this is one of those times, dropping hints and matches, you got loaded painted red tonight, you decided on the best disorder, got it all inside, this is all on a dare, you'll never do it again, never say forever, and you're not gonna miss me, like you thought you would, this is one of a kind

history lessons - you're depending on everyone in sight, to prove you wrong most every night, the catalysts and measured tones, you wish they'd just leave you alone, you're depending on everyone you see, to shake their heads and disagree, you got only a memory, when you don't care you're so easy to please, haven't you learned anything?

ward's country - you're moving borders, and I'm moving out of this old town, you got away with everything criminal that you could find, your iris blackens my insides out around it all, and half of you don't understand, the other half's too sick to mention, I'm on the floor now, counting the histories that you repeat, you got a system, waiting for engines to turn their heads

calendar pages - we don't change our calendar pages anymore, out of fear, what we don't know, can only hurt us in time away, waited so long, for you to change, waited so long, for you today

ottawa dropout - sixty second mile, fumble with the dial, this time you will hear, i'm dropping out for good, this time you'll be here, i'm dropping out for good, stopping on a dime, fortified with wine, ottawa what's the hold up? you gotta fold up again, ottawa what's the hang up? you did a bang up job tonight, ottawa where's the lookout? you gotta move out again, ottawa what's the hang up? you did a bang up job alright

watch the silverware - all of a sudden it all goes black, can't see the signs from out in back, it's out of focus way to go, surveying layouts gun in tow, this season of looking down, can't afford a new million, we get up, but we make it shine forever, when after work has lost its charm, you can't lose focus and trip alarms, liver, the new silver, liver, when you liver, out in the sound

get alone - and it's everything you wanted, and it's everything you need, you should care enough about it, and you wonder why i leave, and you never wanted to get this far, headed straight into another, and you conceded to get along, headed straight into another, and it's you and i, and we don't care

typo - got to where you're going, head back home, time for what you're showing, leave alone, impress the debtors, leave alone

stained glass - sneaking out again, curfews never win, army jacket don't fit, and it's so real, he's seeing things he's only seen, in stained glass before, you know it, because you know it all, and he seems down to earth, must've been something at birth, can't contend with those, in league with all the pros, army jacket don't fit

coastline - you know knew a couple of words, but that don't matter, headed for another coastline again, we don't belong here now, they should shoot us looking down, and there we were dying for gas, and then we knew, everything about the coastline was true
