Biting my lip and shying away, You don't want to hear what I say anyway. Second guessing my thoughts to the point that there's no point. Biding my time, it ends up a waste Not seeing the clock, but still feeling the chase always justifying why I should stop trying. But someday, I'm gonna rip the tape off and scream my face off Someday I'm gonna tear this place up When the dirt's fallin' in on the grave that I put myself in, Overcome with shy, I bury me alive. I let myself down it's like a disease. No one knows my name because I never speak I keep my thoughts inside and lose another night But someday, I'm gonna rip the tape off and scream my face off Someday I'm gonna tear this place up When the dirt's fallin' in on the grave that I put myself in, Overcome with shy, I bury me alive. Some say silence- it is golden But its holdin' me down Some say silence- it is golden But its holdin' me When the dirt's fallin' in on the grave that I put myself in, Overcome with shy, I bury me alive. The dirt's fallin' in on the grave that I put myself in, Overcome with shy, I bury me alive, I bury me, I bury me, I bury me alive bury me alive bury me alive bury me alive

Follow Me 03:03
City full of ants afraid of taking chances they tunnel blindly as they carry their load. There's no making plans, there's no second glances just keep consuming, there's no other way to go And the rent goes up to the point we can barely make it Still they load us up to the point that our backs are breaking Follow me We'll break free Tear down the walls of mediocrity F-R-E-E follow me F-R-E-E follow follow Weak from all the beatings, sick from your forced feedings We band together and we plan our escape We grind through the dirt and the grime But we know that one time, we'll break through to our fate. And the walls cave in The art from our home is now scattered around us. We rebuild again. Make it better than when we found it. Follow me We'll break free Tear down the walls of mediocrity F-R-E-E follow me F-R-E-E follow follow Follow me We'll break free Tear down the walls of mediocrity F-R-E-E follow me F-R-E-E follow follow We're beginning to see the light. Keep climbing, keep climbing Follow me We'll break free Tear down the walls of mediocrity F-R-E-E follow me F-R-E-E follow follow

The world is covered with a million roads your mother's mother traveled long ago. And no one's there to give you the map to the promised land Everybody's got their struggles, ever since the dawn of man. Just remember that the same sky has heard your grandmother cry. Watched your father take his first breath. For those nights that just seem endless.. You're not the first, you won't be the last. Tomorrow is today, the future is past. Don't ya think that you are gonna make it through? Honey, they've done it before, they'll do it again. You just do you, and try not to be part of the problem My soul is covered with a million woes. Since I discovered myself long ago. In someone else's shoes I'm walkin', thought I was walkin' by myself. So many other voices talkin', so many other cries for help. Just remember that the same sky has heard your grandmother cry. Watched your father take his first breath. For those nights that just seem endless.. You're not the first, you won't be the last. Tomorrow is today, the future is past. Don't ya think that you are gonna make it through? Honey, they've done it before, they'll do it again. You just do you, and try not to be part of the problem. Just keep on livin'. Just keep on givin' like the others before. Like the others before Just remember that the same sky has heard your grandmother cry. Watched your Father take his first breath. For those nights that just seem endless.. You're not the first, you won't be the last. Tomorrow is today, the future is past. Don't ya think that you are gonna make it through? Honey, they've done it before, they'll do it again. You just do you, and try not to be part of the problem, of the problem. no- oh- oh whoa- oh You're not the first, you won't be the last. Tomorrow is today, the future is past. Don't ya think that you are gonna make it through? Honey, they've done it before, they'll do it again. You just do you, and try not to be part of the problem of the world.

Confetti 03:40
It seems my heart has left my body tonight Perhaps it just floated up ad followed the light Some unseen circumstance could make this our last chance Let's make it last like the first time I'm giving in 'til the tingle in my skin Is synchronized with the stars in your eyes And the pressure grows as the moment slows and the beat drives, as the lights blind and the confetti... And the confetti falls The confetti falls the confetti falls the confetti falls Like sparkling wine, I'm bubbling over in my Dixie cup As I wait for you to drink me up. And as the melody winds around the moment like a pedestal, It lifts me up to you. And the pressure grows as the moment slows and the beat drives, as the lights blind and the confetti... And the confetti falls The confetti falls the confetti falls the confetti falls It's easy to get swept away It's easy to get swept away And the pressure grows as the moment slows and the beat drives, as the lights blind and the confetti... And the confetti falls The confetti falls the confetti falls the confetti falls The confetti falls the confetti falls the confetti falls

about

"We hope that people connect with these songs the way that we have over the past year. We sort of feel like these songs are our children, in the aspect that we have spent so much time nurturing these pieces of our heart, and watching them grow into beings that have a life of their own. Making this album also gave us the opportunity to touch on some issues that are very close to us. Everything from the debilitating effects of shyness and social anxiety, to artists being displaced from their homes in San Francisco. We always strive to give hope to others who are struggling when we write our songs, but this time we also discovered we have a bit of a rock and roll edge, and we had a blast infusing that into our usual pop style"
