10 stories high words in the sky
every day we live to grow
life is all we really own 10 stories high
all of the faces change through every town ruins new foundations scattered on the ground every gem hidden inside
working backwards in a search to find
10 stories high words in the sky
every day we live to know
life is all we really own 10 stories high
a sender a receiver a believer
voices sounding myths
the view from up here is starting to be clear behind the eyes where hearts never lie
never lie dying to be heard from
10 stories high words in the sky
every day we live to know
life is all we really own 10 stories high
each story each face a desire to be heard seen and known for who we truly are identity in a thousand buried seeds
set in every town a thousand
hearts every one different

living in this crazy place we call home
all together but all alone
memories of better times and everything we left behind living in this crazy place we call home
some day the big slowdown will come
we gotta walk before can run
get back to better find our center
get back together back to better
we all live in this crazy place in our heads
emotions lost and words left unsaid
don't close your eyes it might pass you by
we gotta jump before we can fly
get back to better find our center
get back together back to better

of all the days and places we have seen there are a few
we're on our way
we must have walked down colfax ave at least a thousand times
lookin for adventure and finding every kind
we looked deep into the eyes of the early dawn underneath the street lights we felt it coming on another day lets play its another night in denver
a place so close to me lets stay lets play its another night in denver
no place id rather be today
of all the days and places we have seen there are a few
that we come back to time and time again to see old friends
we'll be doin what we do
if we don't catch you this time well see you
another day lets play its another night in denver
a place so close to me lets stay you know its all our show lets play
you know know know its another night in denver
no place id rather be today

it was after midnight when the truck drivers called to hear their songs
it was my broadcast to the lonely transmitting til the early dawn
im thinking about those days long ago looking down from this mountain
its funny how i found myself back then while i was busy trying to be someone else true believer radio
all i had was my stack of songs and my own rules to play by
now im here with my painted rose and all i learned talking through that microphone true believer radio true believer radio
i travelled through the airwaves bouncing with the sounds of all my heroes
creating the sound track of myself through a maze of ones and zeroes

Almost dead that's how they found me
Was I mislead I may never know
if i make it home this time it might be forever
a home behind enemy lines its all a danger zone
i found you you were lost in me where i wanna be no place to go and nowhere to see nothing to know
Inside your head thats how i found you
if you were mislead it never showed
i see we missed the truth this time we thought we were so clever beyond all the enemy lines of all that we've known
i thought i knew about myself
thought i knew all of you
but now i see we've always been falling
it all keeps changing so fast
letting go of all that lasts
we must be slipping and calling
i found you you were lost in me
where i wanna be no place to go
nowhere to see and nothing to know

i met you in a terrifying place so many strangers
in that dark space navigating a high water rescue
me and you can we stop for a second and talk about
that band we love they were there for me they were there
you through everything we've done
what else do you love lets talk about all the things we love
we didn't have to go alone you you've become my home
we went to so many of the same shows together i wonder where you were standing we listened to all those same songs maybe you were standing right next to me now you're here for me
and im here for you nothing else id rather do
what should we try salty or sweet
what would you like a slow or fast beat
what else do you love lets talk about all the things we love
we didn't have to go alone you you've become my home

dreams aren't easy to follow giving up on them
is a harder pill to swallow it took a lot of strength to
carry all these dreams when i left upstate and drove
through new orleans a magnus air organ an alto saxophone a banjo and a mandolin this the world i roam
everyone starts from somewhere nobody walks alone stabbing in the dark at nowhere chipping away
to the unknown where i roam
the world is just a backdrop to my destiny im driving through the night of creativity a magnus air organ and alto saxophone a banjo and a mandolin this is the world i roam everyone starts from somewhere nobody walks alone stabbing in the dark at nowhere chipping away
to the unknown where i roam

To Be Human

she's the princess of the suburbia where everything's the same living in this spinning world might make her insane
she's been chewing on some gum for eight or nine hours
gotta keep pushing through like all these little blooming flowers she's see them from the safety of her room
found something and lost it in a virtual womb
now im trying to be human in a world so disconnected i feel so isolated
don't know why she's still chewing all the flavors gone wonder what she will find as it all carries on
looking from her window back into this screen back again then back again alternating scenes she's still searching from the safety of her room looking for a connection in a virtual womb
now im trying to be human in a world so
disconnected i feel so isolated
truth and rhyme war all the time live forget and just deny destroy and lose harmony in truth

gonna make it work with what i know do what i can
i made this space i create for my fellow man
i was up late last night with franks wild years on
i must have done something right now i got this song we're gonna make it to higher ground with you
its been years chasing these fears its time to break through to the higher ground to the higher ground
just like Matt we've had it so lets drink some dead rabbit what would George Carlin say if he were drinking too
we're gonna make it through with you
to the higher ground somehow i knew it was right we'll find a way to make it make it through this night to the higher ground

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world. But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up.
