matt This is the best TSL record yet. I’m proud of my PA fellas for pulling out another batch of classics! It really shows that these songs were crafted with heart, and I can’t wait to see them in the live set! Party on🤘

I really can’t pick a favorite! 11/11 bangers on this one! Favorite track: Blame.

Didn’t have to think twice Came down to not second guessing those hunches Came to know when it’s right Though I admit I have had all my moments Never giving it up Made a pact with the one counterpart to my life It’s difficult to describe It’s getting easier now A certain love Between us I get it now I see how it is Didn’t have to think twice All the sudden colors looking more brilliant Never more sure this is right Then is then Now is now Abundance more than enough It’s difficult to describe It’s gotten easier now

I can’t explain it to them Don’t know what they’re gonna say And so I shudder to think When the feedback comes to ring Try not to panic just yet It’s all part of the routine Still feels demented no less What could they want with me I’ve had a taste of my own medicine Not always a treat Though I’ve been working on more than myself I’ll be the first one to tell you that I’ll never be replaced I know it in my heart It’s got to be this strange Evident from the start Everything is absurd Best just to laugh it off Although a grain of salt May not be quite enough anymore It’s still romantic to me In a certain kind of way Will go down nevertheless As the darkest comedy And I’ve been trying to convince myself Twilight of a dream Here comes shining from the brighter side Now I think it’s finally sinking in Don’t ever lose your Sense of humor Won’t be replaced I know it in my heart It’s got to be this strange Evident from the start It’s best just laughing it off Because everything is absurd Although one grain of salt May not be quite enough anymore

Blame 03:09
Mentally can’t wrap my head around it Physically I’m all bent out of shape Future could be brighter than imagined Be a help or get out of the way I’ll take the blame If you take your place Well I’ll take my time It’s nobody’s to waste I know that I’ve been here before And if it’s all the same Then can anyone help Can anyone else There’s nobody else left here to Blame Yesterday I had a dream about it I know exactly what it means Really is no other way around it Fabric is not stronger than it’s seams

Circulate 02:39
Hey No dancing to the DJ They won’t put down their phones This lot on some kind of mission Some people cannot be left alone Murphy’s Law in the next room Open with Quest For Herb Now everybody’s moving Matt Gray still knows every word by heart Slow burn Billowing Your turn Meet me at the front Rotation Circulate Cloud burst Right before it’s done Post show throw on Transmission Tempo is taking hold Maybe I should write it down To say no one wrote a song as good as Love Will Tear Us Apart Cultural demolition Never was set in stone In the midst of repetition Subtle changes manage to occur Starting to permeate A shifting paradigm And always taking place In a race against time I wouldn’t hesitate The work is never done In a continuous race against time

All kidding aside Life is good no paranoia Ringing through the head Suddenly halts to an end Fingers through the hair Anything to ease the tension Be that as it may Tide is churning from within Hard to imagine What’s deep beneath the surface Sorry for yourself Only defeating the purpose Hard to imagine What’s deep beneath the surface See for yourself Without defeating the purpose Oh what a shame Such a good waste of the dawn light Bleeding into day No time better to begin No defeating the purpose Hey Time for us all to pivot It will be worth it Even when you’re in the midst of it Never be perfect You’ve got to pivot You know that Now it’s time Time for us all to pivot You know it’s worth it Even when you’re in the midst of it Never be perfect You’ve got to pivot Even when you think you’re above the Creatures of habit Caught up in traffic Now that you’re getting in front it Perfect Pivot

What a dream High definition Focused on another use A belief or premonition Begging time to reach a truce Yearning for Eternal youth Through and through Searching for That fountain Good intentions Through and though A release of inhibitions Equalizer of the truth A belief or premonition Begging time to reach a truce Fact of the matter Here’s the way it is And nothing better Once it all makes sense

Curveball 03:04
Place in time Close enough Took this hard Chalk it up Not my month Closing off Open up Off and on Keep in mind Takes its toll Hope to regain some control Not myself Dozing off Waking up Off and on Filling my lungs Biting my tongue Biding my time Now it’s all gone Spilling my lungs Biting my tongue Biding my time Now it’s all gone I know needless to say I’m not the only one this way How was I supposed to know It’d end up this way Give my best All my love Everyone who suffered loss One and all Takes its turn An awful lot Off and on

Granted 03:49
I can’t turn on the waterworks Because they won’t turn off Trying not to make the same mistakes And be a better man than I was There could never be another one I’ve never said it out loud It’s never easy to talk about Large part of the love that I was Handed Hanging By a thread I can’t help I don’t want to take you for Granted Could happen to anyone Really been taking it hard I tried to get out in front of it Was no stopping the weight that back-swung And it could happen to anyone I’ve had it happen too much When I was facing the brunt of it Took stock of the love that I was Well I’ve never felt that weight before Doubt I could again And then another round came crashing down Doubt I could have planned this out I wept Nervously broke down I admit Distress My mind was spinning out Anguish That I slept off What I could bare In mind That weight Kept sinking

Enjoyment 04:04
I used to know that one Had it once and now it's gone Only want honesty Unsure of what it will do to me Caught in between trust and belief That rarely offered much release Are the constant questions coming to an end Not for me to say Had to loosen up Won't get everything you want Only want honesty Preparing for what it would do to me Coming to grips in disbelief Outside ourselves it often leads Where the obstacles could be coming to an end We want a life of enjoyment With no more aggravation At the end of the line It is not for me to say When I sing my song They said now it won't be long Got Sade on repeat I'll be relying on muscle memory Harder than you or they may think I'll channel that one frequency With outside pressure coming to an end Tried to keep true to form Don't care what they think Much better off inside the comfort of life without fear Hoping to give you more From what I can see Much better off between the final place and right here At the end of the day it is not my place If it is what it was then it's not for me When push comes to shove on the final take At the end of the line It is not for me to say

Humility 02:49
Life in my head Couldn’t hear a word they said Lost in myself Only time would tell If substance remains When everything else fades Caught in the wind And blinded by the glitz Humility always seems to look good on me What’s already all within was too hard to see That said The ever growing id Needs doses of shame To keep the ratio the same Practice maintained Letting go of pain Best out of ten Time and time again Humility always seems to look good on me What’s already all within was too hard to see Humility always beats constant vanity An idea that always seems too far out of reach So come on Die ego die On the road to victory Sinking low Riding high Lesson in humility Wow

Benchmark 03:44
I built a bench Little place for you to rest Left a space to stamp our names Nothing getting in the way Your own place to sit and breathe Partially in the sun Always half in the shade Never too warm I did what I could Made this for you See what I can do Was always meant to You know how much it means to me Did what I could I’ll see what I can do A small memento Together Endless Together We can’t go wrong Together We’ll make it Together We can’t go wrong Together We’re in this Together We can’t go wrong If I can I will If I could do it all again Then I would not change a thing If I could do it all again I would If I could give you everything I would I make it my life’s work to promise you This is your place Can I be Just one small planet in your orbit please If I can I will If I could do it all again I would
