01 POLITICALLY CORRECT
written by: Mitch Allan

Well I don't mean to piss you off with things I might say/ So when I try to shut my mouth they come out anyway/ So when I speak my mind, that's when we connect/ Yeah but that's not politically correct/ Your head's so filled with thought you can't use your imagination/ Like the sky so filled with stars, you can't find a constellation/ And everyone's so sensitive to any bad vibration/ We're so impressing while we're regressing/ 'Cause I don't mean to piss you off with things I might say/ When I try to shut my mouth they come out anyway/ There's nothing I believe in more than my own insignificance/ So why does everybody think my word can make a difference/ I just don't have time to think up every social consequence/ I just keep on talking you keep applauding/ I don't mean to piss you off with things I might say/ But when I try to shut my mouth they come out anyway/ If you spoke your mind you might feel more connected/ Until you seem politically corrected/ You lean a little to the left or the right but/ You can only see who's on your side/ Look a little like a deer in the headlights/ A little blind and hypnotized/ So you conform with the best of intention/ Change comes from inside/ And after all that's what this country was founded on/ Do nothing different just fall in line/ Tell me/ What happened to make us so afraid/ You couldn't make a Mel Brooks movie today/ No/ I saw Blazing Saddles yesterday/ I don't mean to piss you off (I don't mean to piss you off) with things I might say/ When I try to shut my mouth (when I try to shut my mouth) they come out anyway/ I don't mean to piss you off (I don't mean to piss you off) with things I might say/ When I try to shut my mouth they come out anyway

02 RIGHT NOW
written by: Mitch Allan and Butch Walker

She clings to me like cellophane/ Fake plastic submarine/ Slowly driving me insane/ But now that's over/ So what if sex was great? Just a temporary escape/ Another thing I grew to hate/ But now that's over/ Why? Why you always kick me when I'm high/ Knock me down till we see eye to eye/ Figured her out I must she may not be Miss Right but she'll do right now/ She'll do right now/ I used to hang on every word/ Each lie was more absurd/ Kept me so insecure/ But now that's over/ She taught me how to trust/ And to believe in us/ And then she taught me how to cuss...that BITCH! It's over/ You know I used to be such a nice boy/ Why? Why you always kick me when I'm high/ Knock me down till we see eye to eye/ Figured her out I know she may not be Miss Right but she'll do right now/ She clings to me like cellophane/ Fake plastic submarine/ She's driving me insane/ But now that's over/ Now that's over/ Why? Why you always kick me when I'm high/ Knock me down till we see eye to eye/ Figured her out I must she may not be Miss Right but she'll do right now/ She'll do right now/ Right now/ Oh...right now

03 WHAT A MESS
written by: Mitch Allan, Mark Beauchemin, and Jeff Reid

I confess it's all true/ I'm a mess, what a fool/ Now what do I do/ I need your help to get up from my knees/ I can't seem to see the forest for the trees/ As I wait in my silent misery/ All I'm asking is please...forgive me/ Now she knows me/ Now she knows me/ She wants me to be/ Someone I can't be/ 'Cause she wants me/ She needs me/ She wants me/ 'Cause she loves me/ I need your help to get up from my knees/ I can't seem to see the forest for the trees/ As I wait in my silent misery/ And all I'm asking is please...forgive me/ Shattered/ Now you see inside/ 'Cause I no longer hide/ Or fall between the cracks you left behind/ Shattered/ Now you're out of time/ You've come this far to be denied/ What a shame, I'm to blame/ What a shame/ No lie to blame/ I need your help to get up from my knees/ 'Cause I can't seem to see the forest for the trees/ And as I wait here in my silent misery/ And all I'm asking is please...forgive me/ I need your help to get up from my knees/ I can't seem to find the forest for the trees (Just to forgive...yeah)/ As I wait here in my silent misery/ 'Cause all I'm asking is please...

04 LAST MAN ON THE MOON
written by: Mitch Allan and Kevin Kadish

I just can't seem to concentrate today/ It seems my mind is wandering away/ And all these things swimming through my head/ Fade away when I go back to bed/ And I close my eyes/ And see how fast time flies/ 'Cause sunrise comes too soon/ And I'm never out of bed before noon/ And waking up too late would be too soon/ And I could never be Neil Armstrong/ I'd be the last man on the moon/ I used to live in a world of black and white/ Until my dreams turned day into night/ And I'm never out of bed before noon (And I'm never out of bed before noon)/ And waking up too late would be too soon (And waking up too late would be too soon)/ So I close my eyes/ And wait for the surprise/ In a place I know I belong (In a place I know I belong)/ In my head I can do no wrong (In my head I can do no wrong)/ And I could never be Neil Armstrong/ I'd be the last man on the moon/ Never out of bed before noon/ And waking up too late would be too soon/ And I'm never out of bed before noon/ I'm in the corners of my room/ In a place I know I belong (In a place I know I belong)/ In my head I can do no wrong (In my head I can do no wrong)/ Who ever heard of an astronaut with one arm/ I'd be the last man on the moon

05 EMPTY SPACES
written by: Mitch Allan and John Shanks

I'm not afraid to go backwards and fix what we broke/ My gaze falls behind, you make desire seem so easy/ I hold off sleep, it's so silent without you here/ Don't give up now, it would all be for nothing/ 'Cause I believe in second chances/ I believe the years forget/ So let me fill these empty spaces/ Better late than never/ Stay forever/ Let me fill this empty space/ 'Cause there's always room for one more mistake/ Can you feel that/ I think we're moving in the right direction/ I was someone else then/ I'd take it back if you would let me/ 'Cause I believe in second chances/ I believe the years forget/ So let me fill these empty spaces/ Better late than never/ Stay forever/ Let me fill this empty space/ 'Cause there's always room for one more mistake/ We were never this close when we were young/ Every night I whisper your name at the top of my lungs/ Yeah/ I'm not afraid/ I'm not afraid/ Let me fill these empty spaces/ Better late than never/ Stay forever/ Let me fill this empty space/ 'Cause there's always room for one more mistake/ Theres always (room)...better late than never/ Stay forever/ 'Cause there's always room for one more mistake/ Always room for one more mistake/ Always room for one more mistake/ I'm not afraid

06 ANOTHER NIGHT ALONE
written by: Mark Beauchemin, Mitch Allan, and Jeff Reid

Alone again tonight/ In this empty time/ The sound in my head/ The sight leaves me/ Leaves me blind/ I'll write a million words/ I'll sing until it hurts/ How far could this be/ Until it's seen/ How long will I let this go/ I can't stand to spend another night alone/ Alone/ I stare at the empty walls/ I speak, no one hears/ I make every excuses/ And blame my fears/ How long will I let this go/ I can't stand to spend another night alone/ Alone/ Alone/ Alone/ And all these shadows come to rest/ In my head/ 'Cause I can't see you/ And I/ I can't hear the things you said/ There is a secret place/ You'll find a bloodstained fence/ It's there/ The future speaks/ And she spoke to me/ How long will I let this go/ I can't stand to spend another night/ Another night alone/ (I can't stand to spend another night alone)/ Alone (I can't stand to spend another night alone)/ Alone (I can't stand to spend another night alone)/ Alone/ No, no 2x/ (I can't stand to spend another night alone) Alone/ (I can't stand to spend another night alone) Another night alone/ (I can't stand to spend another night alone) Alone

07 ALIVE
written by: Mitch Allan and Mark Beauchemin

All she's asking is for a little more time/ To walk away from his anger and leave the bruises far behind/ And she won't talk about it/ She's made up her mind/ But as the front door shuts behind her she whispers "Give me a sign"/ And feels the power of the engine as she climbs to 65/ And every piston sounds like freedom/ And every white line says goodbye/ And she'll find strength in her anger and the truth in his lies/ When the last scar finally fades she'll have a new life/ Say goodbye to Mr. Right/ Lock the door/ Turn out the light/ Pack your bags/ Leave this trap/ Run away/ Don't look back/ See another day in each new sun/ You life has just begun/ Yeah/ You'll see another day in each new sun/ 'Cause your life has just begun/ She can still feel the touch of his hands/ Not just the violence but the warmth of her man/ Say goodbye to Mr. Right/ Lock the dorr/ Turn out the light/ Pack your bags/ Leave this trap/ Run away/ Don't look back/ See another day in each new sun/ 'Cause your life has just begun/ Yeah/ It was the night she never felt so alive/ The night she never felt so alive/ It was the night she never felt so alive/ Even though it feels so cold outside/ It's the first time I've ever seen her smile

08 FAME
written by: Mitch Allan and John Shanks

Fame's what she's wanting/ Not a face in the crowd just a disposable pop star/ Staring down from 30, 000 feet above the planet/ She gets the sense nothing's behind her anymore/ Her quest for fame has left her nothing short of a fanatic/ For the chance to be the one that we adore/ Fame's what she's wanting/ You can't go too far (when that's who you are...because)/ Fame's what she's wanting/ Not a face in the crowd just a disposable pop star/ They called princess 'cause they always knew she'd be a servant/ Never having an ambition in her life/ They all knew she'd end up just another loser's girlfriend/ Who would thought that she'd become a Jedi Knight/ Bitersweet the taste of.../ Fame's what she's wanting/ You can't go too far (when that's who you are...because)/ Fame's what she's wanting/ Not a face in the crowd just a disposable pop star/ Pop star/ Pop star/ Pop star/ Fame's what she's wanting/ You can't go too far (when that's who you are...because)/ Fame's what she's wanting/ Not a face in the crowd just a disposable pop star/ Fame's what she's wanting/ You can't go too far when that's who you are...because (pop star)/ Fame's what she's wanting/ Not a face in the crowd just a disposable pop star/ Pop star/ Pop star

09 GO AWAY
written by: Mitch Allan

Once inside the door I check my face in the mirror/ And I look past this lonely minute/ Is this the ride worth waiting for/ I'm scared to death/ That now I've missed it/ But she was not the only stone, skipped across this gravel road leading down the path of loneliness/ So I'll fly from this hate, and pray my soul the lord will take me/ To a place through the time and indifference/ I wanna know how do you feel/ I wanna know if this was real/ So tell me what would you say/ If you can make this pain go away/ She plans her future and looking bright ahead/ Leaves me in the past/ I can't stand to hang out with my codependent friends/ My patience is fading fast/ But every sign and every song is telling me that I don't belong/ But it's okay to feel scared/ 'Cause one day soon I'll find myself and realize no one else will make me feel stupid/ I wanna know how do you feel/ I wanna know if this was real/ So tell me what would you say/ If you can make this pain go away/ There's this old man down in Fell's Point/ Always hanging around/ Telling me, "Son, the pendulum swings both ways, but for you it'll always swing down!"/ I wanna know/ Maybe I know/ How do you feel/ Yeah/ I wanna know/ No, no/ If this was real/ (I wanna know) Oh, yeah/ (How do you feel)/ Baby, I wanna know/ (I wanna know)/ You gotta tell me/ If this was real/ Yeah 4x/ You'll tell me what would you say/ What would you say/ What would you say/ Oh, yeah/ Make this pain go away.

10 NON-TOXIC
written by: Mitch Allan

I'm one of those things you'll save forever and never need/ Like an old newspaper no one has time to read/ This child has grown into a dead end/ Since I lost the power to pretend/ But it's alright/ That's who I am inside/ Not much to say on this non-toxic ordinary day/ Yeah/ That's no superhero standing right in front of us/ So take this pocket full of kryptonite and beat it back to Metropolis/ There's only room for one on this microphone/ In my finest hour I'm still alone/ But it's alright/ That's who I am inside/ No much to say on this non-toxic ordinary day (ordinary day)/ For an ordinary day/ But old newspaper can change/ As memories float downstream/ So don't judge me by my failures/ But only by my dreams/ But it's alright/ That's who I am inside/ Not much to say on this non-toxic ordinary day/ But it's alright/ That's who I am inside (who I am inside)/ Not much to say on this non-toxic ordinary day/ (Not much to say) On this non-toxic ordinary day/ (Not much to say) On this non-toxic ordinary day

11 PAUL MCCARTNEY
written by: Mitch Allan, Dan Garvin, and Jeff Reid

Last night I had a dream/ It wasn't about anything/ But it made me smile/ It made me scream/ We should take this slow/ 'Cause I can't let go/ When it feels so good/ To feel this/ To feel this low/ I stumble and she sees all/ Waiting for me to fall/ Obsessing over her/ But it's nothing personal/ We should take this slow/ 'Cause I can't let go/ When it feels so good/ To feel this low/ And we'll take our time/ To tell each other's lies/ In a world so much brighter/ If Paul were still alive/ Yeah/ Take it slow/ Till I lose control/ I'm falling down/ Falling down/ Last night I had a dream/ It wasn't about anything/ I made you smile/ And I made you scream/ We should take this slow/ 'Cause I can't let go/ When it feels this good/ To feel so low/ And we'll take our time/ And tell each other's lies/ In a world so much brighter/ If Paul were still alive/ Our time/ Yeah 6x/ It's so much brighter/ It's so/ It's so much brighter/ It's so/ It's so much brighter/ In the sun/ No, no, no, no, no, no/ Yeah/ So tell me/ Could we be so tight/ When we can't let go/ I can't let go/ I can't let go/ Oh yeah/ I won't let go from ya/ No, no, no 3x

LAST EXCUSE (DEMO)
written by: Mitch Allan

Another brilliant morning sky/ And that's the last excuse I use to let the world pass me by/ And I step back from the edge/ And find a way/ To find myself/ Step up off this legancy/ Another brilliant morning sky/ And that's the last excuse I use to let the world pass me by/ And I would have seem shallow/ To feel this narrow/ I'm not gonna leave/ I'm alive/ Was that for me/ An outsider made me to play that game/ Or someone else's rules/ Am I going crazy (Am I going crazy)/ A something changed me (A something changed me)/ I haven't felt like this in Sunday school/ Now I step back from the edge (Step back from the edge)/ And I find a way/ To find myself/ I step up off this legancy/ Then I can see everything/ And I can step up off this legancy/ Now this tunnel seems so bright/ And the darkness opens doors/ I can see in the light/ And I step back from the edge (Step back from the egde)/ And I found a way/ To find myself/ I step back from the edge (Step back from the egde)/ No one told me/ No one else/ I step on off this legancy (Legancy)/ Another brilliant morning sky/ That's the last excuse I use to let the world pass me by
