1. Out of the Shadows

   Written by M. P. Jones & N. Hubbard

   I can’t sleep in this room
   Still so far from finding you
   I can’t see to dig beneath
   These piles of dirt that cover me

   CHORUS
   Don’t let go, don’t let go
   We can crawl out
   Out of the shadows
   Don’t let go, Don’t let go
   We can find our way back home

   Silence keeps the story straight
   Fighting for the perfect state
   Wave your flag. Oh, I believe
   Hope is comfort, if not relief

   CHORUS

   There’s a heart that still can beat
   With every breath that’s inside me
   Find the spark that’s buried deep
   It won’t go out, so please…

   CHORUS

2. Without a Clue

   Written by Matthew Perryman Jones & Kate York

   I hold a photograph
   I get lost in the way it was
   It’s like a treasure map
   To all I’ve had
   I found you along the way
   I remember how you’d look at me
   Skies are never grey in the past

   CHORUS
   Remember when falling stars were meant for you
   We’d always find the love to fall into
   Everything felt like April, May and June
   We got so far without a clue

   Each day’s a second chance
   To make up for what I missed before
   I come with empty hands
   And a prayer
   I’d forgotten who I was
   ‘til I stumbled through my history
   I came to life because you were there

   CHORUS

   You can’t get that far
   In a broke down car
   That’s where we seem to be
   Maybe all we are is a memory

   CHORUS

3. Save You

   Written by M. P. Jones & N. Hubbard

   I wanna rock-n-roll
   I wanna give my soul
   I’m wanting to believe
   I’m not too old
   Don’t want to make it up
   Don’t want to let you down
   I want to fly away
   But I’m stuck on the ground

   CHORUS
   So, help me decide
   Help me to make up
   Make up my mind
   Wouldn’t that save you (x2)

   Watched it all go by
   Was it really true
   Is that what it was
   Was that really you
   Looking back again
   Tracing back the thread
   You said it was a mess
   Was it just in my head

   CHORUS

   Something’s gotta break
   You gotta swing the bat
   Too many years of dying
   Why is that

   CHORUS

4. Amelia

   Written by M.P. Jones and N. Hubbard

   Sad like a melody
   Full like a symphony
   Striking a chord
   Standing here looking blind
   I stumble around to find
   My way through your door

   Do you want to know why?
   Do you wan t to know why?

   Hungry as starving fire
   Killing to feed desire
   What do you do?
   We’re born into vanity
   Bones feeling everything
   Are we alone?

   Do you want to know why?
   ‘Cause I want to know why?

   CHORUS
   Say it Amelia
   Say it’s true
   That life’s worth all the dying we do
   Amelia

   A beautiful melody
   Sung by a symphony
   Your striking a chord

5. Motherless Child

   Writer Unknown

   Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
   Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
   Sometimes I feel like motherless child
   A long way from home

   Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
   Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
   Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
   A long way from home

   True believer
   A long way from home
   True believer
   A long way from home

6. Don't Fall in Love

   Written by M.P. Jones & Neilson Hubbard

   My darlin’ you’re stalling now
   Don’t you know where I’ve been
   There’s fallout, there is no doubt
   Where this is all going to end

   CHORUS
   Don’t fall in love
   Don’t fall in love
   Don’t fall in love with me

   It’s a new trace
   Some kind of Hollywood romance
   We’ll isn’t that what you mean
   The factory is shining
   But it is not what it seems

   CHORUS

   Where does it hit you
   When you’re alone
   Do you let it get you
   Or follow you home
   How would you ever know

   These buildings have ceilings
   There is no mistake
   We’re locked in a beginning
   Well, do you know what this takes

   CHORUS

7. When It Falls Apart

   Written by M.P. Jones, Katie Herzig, and C. Williams

   Here we go again
   It’s all the same
   A familiar scene
   But we call it by a different name
   It’s an alibi of innocence
   We work so hard for it all to just make sense
   But it won’t make sense

   CHORUS
   When it falls apart the pieces fit
   But you won’t see it ‘til you’re blinded
   You can let it go or hold it tight
   When you loose your life you will find it

   Another day begins
   Oh, it’s nothing new
   These lessons come to me
   Dressed in déjà vu
   I thought I had it all sort of figured out
   But she stripped me clean
   And exposed my doubt
   That’s what it’s all about

   CHORUS

   In the dark on my knees
   Is when I hear her sing to me
   Oh, why’s the truth so hard to take
   The heart cannot go free ‘til it breaks

   CHORUS

8. Feels Like Letting Go

   Written by M. P. Jones

   Oh my love
   Help me open up my heart again
   Tear it open let the rain fall in
   Wash this hardness underneath my skin

   Oh my love
   Let me hear your voice come through
   I want to know the love inside of you
   Make this dark heart believe in what is true

   I know that in the dark
   There’s a fear of letting go
   I know it in my heart
   That I fear what I don’t know

   CHORUS
   And this feels like letting go…
   I’m letting go

   It’s hard to trust
   When your heart’s been broken times before
   You pull the curtains and you lock the doors
   And swear you’ll never go out anymore

   I know that in the dark
   There’s a fear of letting go
   I know it in my heart
   That I fear what I don’t know

   CHORUS

   Well, I’m steppin’ out
   I can’t see and there is no sound
   The seeming void becomes a solid ground
   The sight I lost becomes the faith I found

   CHORUS

9. Song for Canaan

   Written by M.P. Jones

   Inside the night
   Across the holy river
   When you arrived
   A promise was delivered

   I waited for you
   Dreaming away all the while
   How I adore you
   My lovely little child

   For you I’ll fight
   I’d face a thousand armies
   I’ll hold the light
   And nothing can disarm me

   I waited for you
   Dreaming away all the while
   How I adore you
   My lovely little child

10. Swallow the Sea

    Written by M.P. Jones & N. Hubbard

    Something’s in the air
    Empty as smoke that won’t clear
    Low lit bar a filled up car
    Where you disappear
    Secrets are a stain
    That mess up your mind
    But we love to play
    Take your time to waste your time
    While life slips away

    CHORUS
    Oh, what do you want to hear
    What do you want...

    Oh, where can you go
    Where can you go
    You’re stuck in the undertow
    Oh no, it won’t let you go
    It won’t let you go
    You’re stuck in the undertow

    Hold it with your hands
    All of your hopes are in this one
    A silent stare that won’t be there
    After you’re done
    The sun is coming up
    Shining on top of dying weeds
    Lonely lovers, tangled sheets
    It won’t stop the bleed

    CHORUS

    Where can you go?
    Can you swallow the sea?
