1.	Lullaby for Piano (Live at Element Studios) 04:05	lyrics	buy track
Heavy winds point spectral fingers where no one remembers / recounting over brown bag lunches and in the trenches / when little whims birth psychic powers that tread on like iron / still many yet could stand to wonder those words from elders / but who could find the words to say those hardships yield the finest clay use your knife / be polite / wait your turn / stay in line place your bets on this lost cause / rest your head in this lost world
2.	As the Crow Flies (Live at Element Studios) 05:45	lyrics	buy track
A masterpiece of cracked paint / thus far saved by cloth’s decay / you know you feel too much when only your heart breaks / so blow your mind on make believe / fondle every hair you can lay / just to show how lifelike they can be made to ache with both backs turned and thoughts unread / they’ll mourn the loss with other men / with sighs a fitting farewell for a little death so turn a cheek and mouth (dear) / when you hit your peak I hope to feel / as the crow flies over barren fields / you’re thinking of me, you’re thinking of me / when the music they play on cloud nine / isn’t in a key you like / I’ll laugh so hard I’ll cry
3.	Swallow the Smoke (Live at Element Studios) 04:52	lyrics	buy track
Walked in, soaking, hungry, hunting / gaze locked, molten, unrelenting / pull the shades down, draw the curtains / your move, my turn, I win, you learn / oh.. past lives haunting your breath, my skin / no light, all in, almost nothing / oh…
4.	Red, Royal (Live at Element Studios) 03:18	lyrics	buy track
It feels like summer’s always a ways away / will you be taller? will you love me the same? / I wrote you letters but threw them all away / it feels like summer’s always a ways away
5.	More Where That Came From (Live at Element Studios) 05:24	lyrics	buy track
See the bad man on the front page / read about him and his mistakes / got the facts wrong, silly puppet / put a big dent in the budget / got accounts owed, bite the bullet / roll your sleeves up to the elbows / grab the layman by the collar / sign the contract, get the bill passed / ‘cause the bank knows all the loopholes / all the dust lies through the vault door / all the numbers in the paper aren’t enough to pay the reaper see the red rise, hear the man pound / on the counter ‘til you break down / just a moment, tough decision / do or die now, better listen / cut the grass or pay the fine, girl / start the chainsaw, hone the crosshairs / get acquainted with the system / it’s the law here, don’t resist it / got a complaint, see the red ink / you ain’t worthy of a damn cent / you’re a failure, you’re a letdown / give the keys back with the apron / quit your cryin’, better swing hard / make them feel small with your big words / use a set jaw like a bulldog / eat your dinner or you’ll get more more where that came from
