Track Name: new breath.
there are things that we'd like to keep hidden,
others we'd just rather not say.
you fear that they may know you too well,
but they don't even know you at all.
"who were you then anyway?
what was it that you asked for?"

a prayer for the dying past.
a hope for new breath after.

so i tell myself its forbidden,
before i find a familiar path.
i fear i've not begun to climb yet
it's still a very long way to fall.
"who were you then last time?
what is it that you are now?"

a prayer for the dying past.
a hope for new breath after.

i believe i could be forgiven.
i believe i do believe.
i believe i could be forgiven.
i believe i could be redeemed.
i believe i could be forgiven.
i believe i do believe in

a prayer for the dying past.
a hope for new breath after.
Track Name: loathsome dog
give me the patience to join the living.
give me the courage to leave the dead to the dead.

and if you don't mind, i'd like mine to read,
"here lies a man of god."

once you lost control of your thoughts.
once you were caught up in dying.
further on down the road the question becomes,
'why did i ever think about it at all?'

but if i don't change soon i fear mine will read,
"here lies a loathsome dog."
Track Name: what is done is done is gone.
well i did what i could, i mean didn't i give it all that i had?
try and try as i might, i can never get it back.
there were so many things that i wanted to be and just look at what i am. but what is done is done. what is done is done is gone.

what is done is done. what is done is done is gone.

so we do what we can and don't we now that that we know it all will end? but if that's the way it's always been anyhow, how come i didn't see it then?
when there were so many things that we wanted to be, now take a good look at what you are, because when you're done, you're done. when you're done you're done you're gone.

what is done is done. what is done is done is gone.

the past is only present in your mind.
when you can't get it back, you've got to leave it behind.
Track Name: the tunnel
rich men don't have what they can't sell,
and yet poor men will lick their lips.
we are bugs on our backs;
just look at us flailing our limbs.
when we know that we must wait
for the one thing we know will come.
and i, i want to know: what can i expect when it does?

is there a light?
a silver line?
or does it just turn black?

so we make some new ones for the ones we lose
and say we may yet go on.
when we know that we must wait
for the one thing we know will come.
and i, i want to know: what can i expect when it does?

is there a light?
a silver line?
or does it just turn black?
Track Name: hung your picture
i hung your picture up.
i hung your picture up again.
and then i took it down.

i said i only want you.
you said i only want you
when you don't want me around.
and, "it's been three long years
with you not here
and too many tears now to count."

i hung your picture up.
i hung your picture up again.
and then i took it down.

and al and i were talking
about our ex-girlfriends,
yea, the ones that still make us sore.
and so i've been drinking,
but not like before when
i didn't want to think anymore.

i hung your picture up.
i hung your picture up again.
and then i took it down.

i hung your picture up
