1. Family Tree
----------------
A broken window peek into my memory
until I see my family
I feel so wasted, like my dreams are cast to sea
Until I find my family tree
And I say, hey won't you fly a little closer next to me?
We can sail up here forever, where our spirits can be free
It moves a little slow on the road, and it's smoggy down there too
So just soar up here beside me, I guarantee you'll like the view
I swear I left my best self in all the places that I've been
Until you say you knew me when
I was just a little something who said "I'm flying out of town"
I was kicking dust up on the ground

2. The Game is done
------------------------
My grandfather was a fighter, I'd always hear my mother say
And all my toughness I learned from him, but I'd rather walk away
To be the king of the sick street is never what I thought I'd be
But it is what it is and this crown is stuck on me, stuck on me
All the ghosts walk around here with black circles 'neath their eyes
When the sun comes up if you look quick you'll see them run to hide
Beneath the broken cathedrals or another shattered house
On the street in the town buried deep beneath the clouds
The city can't take anymore
The savior versus satan...even score
The game is over
Nobody won
The game is done
So if you come in the daytime it's a street that hides it's scars
All the money passed, cold cash, hand to hand, underarm to underarm
Something's stopping the traffic and the sky is turning red
As the cops look away, cause the mayor just turns his head

3. Into the bright lights
---------------------------
Up and away we set off
Secretly scared we'd get lost
Up in the clouds, over the town
Beyond the wall
Some of us knew we might fall
Under the weight of it all
And though we'd been warned of the oncoming storms
Still we stood tall
Soar from the moonlight
Straight to the sunrise
This will be our time
To free-fall and nosedive
Out of the black night
Into the bright lights
With the whole world in our sight
Like a miniature paradise
My shadow is cast on the ground
But I'm flying too fast to look down
At the rooftops and trees, and my family
Waving at me

4. Heartaches on parade
---------------------------------
You might think you saw a shining rocket in the sky
It was my pride, was my pride
But it wasn't in me to save the city, and yes, I guess I lied
But at least I tried, least I tried
I am caught within your kryptonite
I lost my senses, lost my might
So I might take a lonesome holiday
I sold my shirt and pawned my cape
And headed back to outer space
And realized I never should have stayed
Heartaches on parade
So a circle gathered on the sidewalk as word spread through the town
A man is down, on the ground
But I couldn't take it on the pavement, as fodder for the crowd
So I snuck out,
I snuck out

5. From the balcony
-----------------------
Where does the music come from?
It could be right in front of you
With so many seats to choose from
You sit where you always do
'til you won't someday
No more crying from the balcony
Go find your front row seat
Don't be a stranger to the symphony
Feel your real heartbeat
Where does peace of mind come from?
It could be right in front of you
With so many paths to choose from
You walk the way you always do
'til you won't someday
No more crying from the balcony
Onto an empty street
Throw over everything you used to be
'til you feel your feet

6. Already Gone
----------------------
Hey, she is already gone
So far gone
Summer stock apology
written in my basement
Knew for sure I'd find you there
But much to my amazement
Checked the closet, checked the drawers
Everything was empty
She couldn't wait one minute more
With nothing left to give me
So I keep talking recklessly
She pretends she's listening
'til she suggests I take a trip
Bottomless pit fishing

7. Black Sky Blue
------------------------
If I was a king would you wait for me
To step off my arrogant chair
'cause what I have learned is everything burns
And suddenly nobody's there
It's a case that leaves no clues
It's dangerous how I dream of you
Since you turned my black sky blue
Black sky blue
If I wore the hat of a hard working man
With old worn out leather for skin
Oh, could you trace the lines on my face
And still find some beauty within
It don't matter where you go
It just matters where you stay
I would never claim to know
All the secret cards you hold
If I washed up on your private beach
Would you bring me blankets for clothes
Or would you be embarrassed to see
The somebody nobody knows?
