1.	Somehow (free) 03:44	lyrics	download
My hands are tied, by my side, what a surprise And I'm mute and I'm deaf with no eyes Take my hand -- what you feel, I can't understand And I'd ask you this, but I'd break Somehow, I'll try to explain when you're never around And somehow, you might understand why I'm stumbling around And somehow, I'd want you to know and we'd watch where it goes But somehow, I'm afraid Afraid of all the missed misfortune Afraid of noise that you might make Afraid of your delayed reaction Afraid of one more I can't take Do you feel the same way? Otherwise, I don't know what to say Afraid of how I might be wrong Afraid you'll never know Never know who inspired the song And away you'll go
2.	Picture of Everything (free) 04:59	lyrics	download
Can someone please explain why I'm sitting here? Writing this song in vain, when you're alone out there I know I can take your place, 'cause I've been there before But why can't I touch your face? 'Cause you've locked the only door between us The key is time The time is now I took my time To realize Now there's another face in my picture of everything Always another place in my picture of everything Fading in just nine days from my picture of everything I'm left with just a taste of my picture of everything I know you cannot walk -- not without some help See that I cannot talk? 'Cause I'm lost as well I couldn't hope to blame you for facing the other way Wish I could hope to tame you -- there's always another day Your perfect smile Has smiled at my It took a while And now you're running free to be Now here we are under a broken frame If I am who you are, guess it's just the same Things will force things to change -- I couldn't help but grow tall Wish I could rearrange -- it's like pushing against a wall
3.	Home (free) 02:38	lyrics	download
Sun moves over the ridge, showers the trees in gold Crystal waterdrops are growing cold As the ghost of the moon changes its impossible tune I watch this world as it's reborn And I know which way to go Home Voices under my skin force me to speed back up again I'm traveling on my own Highway under my feet moves at the speed of light They're paving the way home
4.	Audrey's Song (free) 03:33	lyrics	download
Silent speaking, invalidated photographs Errors wreaking and violating epitaphs You're paralyzed, but you say you care I see it in your eyes, but in your hands it's not there Hands are weakened, the walls of time and space are here A faded beacon, and a one-sided frozen tear In my head, I'm repeating your words But you're just not doing what you said When your eyes say 'hey' But your mouth says nothing It's a disparity But somehow there'll be something Don't say you love me, show me And I care if you care, but you don't care Don't say you love me, show me And if you don't think you love me, ignore me
5.	Distracted (free) 16:10	lyrics	download
In a single night, I watched you transform Only in my eyes, this cold world to warm As I try to fight the logic as it seems to invade I turn on your light and examine the world you've made What you did to me caused my lone life to split And if I sound off-key, I'm just a little distracted As I'm breaking down as no reaction would dare You would take my frown and toss it up in the air What I might be watching is my favorite show And since you haven't even come yet, I can't let you go

about

We finished our summer 2002 "tour" with a big tease: "Who Is Nancy?" -- unfortunately it was almost two years before we actually finished the CD. Nancy, incidentally, was the name of our favorite waitress at the restaurant across the street from David and Ben's high school.
