ONCE
I admit it...what's to say...yeah...
I'll relive it...without pain...mmm...
Backstreet lover on the side of the road
I got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode
I got a sixteen gauge buried under my clothes, I play...
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah...
Oh, try and mimic what's insane...ooh, yeah..
I am in it...where do I stand?
Oh, Indian summer and I hate the heat
I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat
I got my hand in my pocket, so determined, discreet...I pray...
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh,once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah...
You think I got my eyes closed
But I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time...
Ooh, once upon a time I could control myself, yeah...
Once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Once, upon a time I could love myself, yeah...
Once upon a time I could love you, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Once (4x)
Yeah...once, once...yeah, yeah...
Yeah...yeah, yeah...yeah, yeah...oww...

EVEN FLOW
Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete,again
Oh, Feelin' maybe he'll see a little better set a days, ooh yeah
Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar, ooh yeah
Oh, dark grin, he can't help, when he's happy looks insane, oh yeah
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away, yeah...ooh...
Oh, someday yet, he'll begin his life again...life again...life again...
Kneelin', looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read, ooh yeah
Oh, prayin', now to something that has never showed him anything
Oh, feelin', understands the weather of the winters on its way
Oh, ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls of shame, yeah...
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away, yeah...
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Oh, whispering hands, gently lead, lead him away...him away, him away...
Yeah! Woo...ah yeah...fuck it up...
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away...
Ooh, someday yet, he'll begin his life again, yeah
Oh, whispering hands, gently lead, lead him away...him away...him away...
Yeah! Woo...uh huh...yeah, yeah, mommy, mommy...

ALIVE
Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a...
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin', sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked...
Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey...oh...
Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room
She said I'm ready...for you
I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look...
Go you know where, now I can't see, I just stare...
I, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Hey I, boy, I'm still alive
Hey I, I, I, I'm still alive, yeah
Ooh yeah...yeah yeah yeah...oh...oh...
Is something wrong, she said
Well of course there is
You're still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be
Is that the question
And if so...if so...who answers...who answers..?
I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Yeah I, ooh, I'm still alive
After all, yeah all (2X)

WHY GO
She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
Maybe someday another child won't feel as alone as she does
It's been two years, and counting, since they put her in this place
She's been diagnosed by some stupid fuck, and mommy agrees, yeah...
Whoa...yeah...hey yeah yeah...
Why go home... (3x)
She seems to be stronger, but what they want her to be is weak
She could play pretend, she could join the game, boy
She could be another clone...ooh...whoa...ah yeah...
Ooh...
Why go home? (4x)
What you taught me...put me here...don't come visit...mother...
Sting me...
Whoa...ooh...
Why go home? (4x)
What you taught me...put me here...don't come visit...mother, mother, yeah...
Why go home? (7x)
Whoa...

BLACK
Hey...oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll ever be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine

JEREMY
At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops
with him on top Lemin yellow sun, arms raised in a V
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked...oh, ruled his world...
Jeremy spoke in class today... (2x)
Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
Ooh, but we unleashed a lion...
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast...
How can I forget?
And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurtin'...ooh, dropped wide open
Just like the day...oh, like the day I heard
Daddy didn't give affection, no...
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked...oh, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today... (3x)
Woo... (14x)
Try to forget this...try to forget this...
Try to erase this...try to erase this...
>From the blackboard...
Jeremy spoke in class today... (2x)
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in... (2x)
Jeremy spoke in class today...
Woo... (29x)
Woooooohhh...spoke in, spoke in...
Woooooohhh...uh huh, uh huh...

OCEANS
Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards...
You know something's left
And we're all allowed
To dream of the next Oh, ohh the next,
time we touch...
Oooh... (4x)
You don't have to stray
Tho oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring...
The sea will rise...
Please stand by the shore...
Oh, oh, oh, I will be...
I will be there once more...
Oooh... (4x)
Uh huh, oh yeah... (2x)

PORCH
What the fuck is this world
Running to, you didn't
Leave a message, at least
I Coulda' learned your voice one last time
Daily minefield, this could
Be my time, 'bout you?
Would you hit me?(2x)
Oh oh oh...oh whoa whoa...ow...
All the bills go by, and
Initiatives are taken up
By the middle, there ain't gonna be any middle any more
And the cross I'm bearing home
Ain't indicative of my place
Left the porch (2x)
Oh oh oh...
Hear my name, take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand, walk beside me
I just need to say...
Hear my name, take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand, lie beside me
I just need to say
I couldn't take a-just one day
I know when I would not ever touch you Hold you
...feel you...in my arms...never again...
Yeah... (12x)

GARDEN
She don't wander in...don't wander in here, she...
She don't wander in here...don't wander in here...
The direction of the eye, so misleading
The defection of the soul, nauseously quick
I don't question, our existence
I just question, our modern needs
She don't wander in...don't wander in here, she...
She don't wander in here...
I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden of stone...yeah...
After all is done, and we're still alone
I won't be taken, yet I'll go...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden of stone
I don't show...I don't share...
I don't need, yeah...What you have to give...
Oooh, I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden...oh...
I will walk with my hands bound
I will walk into your garden, garden of stone...
I don't know...I don't care...
I don't need you for me to live...yeah, yeah, yeah, oh...
Uh huh huh... (8x)

DEEP
On the edge, windowsill
Ponders his maker, ponders his will
To the street below, he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view, and he sinks the needle deep, yeah...
Whoa, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...oh, can't touch the bottom
Oh, on the edge of a know-nothin' town
Feelin' quite superior, the aged come
To the sky above he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view, and he sinks a burning knife deep, yeah...
Ooh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...uh huh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep... Ohhh...Ohhh...
Ow... On the edge of a Christmas clean love
Young virgin from heaven...visiting Hell
To the man above her, she just ain't nothin'
And she doesn't like the view
She doesn't like the view (2x)
But he sinks himself deep
Oh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...oh, can't touch the bottom
Can't touch the bottom
Deep, yeah...
Oh, yeah, the bottom, yeah... (6x) Ohh...

RELEASE
Father...ooh...oh...oh...
I see the world, feel the chill
Which way to go, windowsill
I see the world's on a rocking horse of time
I see the verse in the rain
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...
Oh, dear dad, can you see me now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll ride the wave where it takes me
I'll hold the pain...
Release me...
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...
Oh, dear dad, can you see me now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me
I'll open up...
Release me...
Release me (3x)
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...

LAST EXIT
Lives opened and trashed...
"Look ma, watch me crash"
No time to question why'd nothing last
Grasp and hold on, we're dying fast
Soon be over and I will relent
Let the ocean swell, dissolve 'way my past
Three days, and maybe longer, won't even know I've left
Under your tongue, I'm like a tab
I will give you what you're not s'posed to have
Under my breath, I swear by sin
For better or for worse, a best we began
Let the sun climb, oh, burn 'way my mask
Three days, and maybe longer, shed my skin at last, shed,shed ...
Let the sun shine, burn 'way my mask
Three days, and maybe longer, won't ever find me here
Let the ocean dissolve 'way my past
Four days, and not much longer...
Let my spirit pass... Ooh...
This is, this is... (3x)

SPIN THE BLACK CIRCLE
See this needle, a-see my hand
Drop, drop, dropping it down, oh, so gently...
Well here it comes, I touch the plane
Turn me up, won't turn you away
Spin, spin... Spin the black circle
Spin, spin... Spin the black, spin the black...
Spin, spin... Spin the black circle
Spin, spin... Whoa...
Pull it out, a-paper sleeve
Oh, my joy, only you deserve conceit
I'm so big, a-my whole world
I'd rather you...rather you...than her...
Spin, spin... Spin the black circle
Spin, spin... Spin the black, spin the black...
Spin, spin... Spin the black circle
Spin, spin... Whoa... Oh..
You're so warm..
Oh, the ritual when I lay down your crooked arm...

Spin, spin... Spin the black circle
Spin, spin...

NOT FOR YOU
Restless soul, enjoy your youth
Like Muhammad hits the truth
Can't escape from the common rule
If you hate something, don't you do it too, too...
Small my table, a-sets just two
Got so crowded, I can't make room
Oh, where did they come from?
Stormed my room!
And you dare say it belongs to you, to you...
This is not for you (3x)
Oh, Not For You. Ah, you...
(My friends call me Ed, they call me)
(My friends, they don't scream)
(My friends, don't call)
(My friends don't...)
All that's sacred comes from youth
Dedication, naive and true
With no power, nothing to do
I still remember. Why don't you, don't you...
This is not for you (3x)
Oh, never was for you...fuck you...
This is not for you...
Oh, this is not for you...no, no...
This is not for you...
Oh, not for you...
Oh, you...

TREMOR CHRIST
Winded is the sailor drifting by the storm
Wounded is the organ he left all bloodied on the shore
Gorgeous was his savior, sees her, drowning in his wake...
A-daily taste the salt of her tears but, a chance blamed fate
Little secrets, tremors, turned to quake
The smallest oceans still get big, big waves, yeah..
Ransom paid the Devil...
He whispers pleasing words...
Triumphant are the angels if they can...a get there first...
Little secrets tremors...turned to quake...
The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...
I'll decide...take the dive...
Take my time...not my life...
Wait for signs...believe in lies...
To get by...it's divine...whoa...
Oh, you know what it's like...
Turns the bow back, tows and...drops the line...
Puts his faith and love in Tremor Christ...

NOTHINGMAN
Once divided...nothing left to subtract...
Some words when spoken...can't be taken back...
Walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...
Future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...
Caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...
Nothingman... (2x)
Isn't it something?
Nothingman...
She once believed...in every story he had to tell...
One day she stiffened...took the other side...
Empty stares...from each corner of a shared prison cell...
One just escapes...one's left inside the well...
And he who forgets...will be destined to remember...oh...oh...oh...
Nothingman... (2x)
Isn't it something?
Nothingman...
Oh, she don't want him...
Oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown away...
Oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun...
Burn...burn...
Nothingman... (2x)
Isn't it something?
Nothingman...
Nothingman... (2x)
Coulda' been something...
Nothingman...
Oh...ohh...ohh...

WHIPPING
Don't need a helmet, got a hard, hard head
Don't need a raincoat, I'm already wet
Don't need a bandage, there's too much...blood...
After a while, seems to roll right off...hmm...
Whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping, ah...they're whipping...
Don't need a hand, there's always arms attached
Oh, don't get behind, I can't fall back
Why must we trust all these rusted rails?
They don't want no change, we already have
They're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping, ah...they're whipping...
Don't mean to push, but I'm being shoved!
Ohh, I'm just like you, think we've had enough
I can't believe a thing they want us to...oh...
Oh, we all got scars, they should have 'em too...
Oh, they're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping, ah...they're whipping...
They're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping...yeah...they're whipping...

PRY, TO
P-r-i-v-a-c-y is priceless to me (4x)
P-r-i-v-a-c-y (4x)

CORDUROY
The waiting drove me mad...you're finally here and I'm in a mess
I take your entrance back...can't let you roam inside my head
I don't want to take what you can give...
I would rather starve than eat your bread...
I would rather run but I can't walk...
Guess I'll lie alone just like before...
I'll take the firmest path...oh, and I must refuse your test
A-push me and I will resist...this behavior's not unique
I don't want to hear from those who know...
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes...
I don't want to limp for them to walk...
Never would have known of me before...
I don't want to be held in your debt...
And I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed...
And I'm already cut up and half dead...
I'll end up alone like I began...
Everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed
Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture
I don't want to take what you can give...
I would rather starve than eat your breast...
All the things that others want for me...
Can't buy what I want because it's free... (2x)
Can't be what you want because I'm...
I ain't supposed to be just fun
Oh, to live and die, let it be done
I figure I'll be damned, all alone like I began...
It's your move now...
I thought you were a friend, but I guess I, I guess I hate you...

BUGS
All these...
I got bugs
I got bugs in my room
Bugs in my bed
Bugs in my ears
Their eggs in my head
Bugs in my pockets
Bugs in my shoes
Bugs in the way I feel about you
Bugs on my window
Trying to get in
They don't go nowhere
Waiting, waiting...
Bugs on my ceiling
Crowded the floor
Standing, sitting, kneeling...
A few block the door
And now the question's:
Do I kill them?
Become their friend?
Do I eat them?
Raw or well done?
Do I trick them?
I don't think they're that dumb
Do I join them?
Looks like that's the one
I got bugs on my skin
Tickle my nausea I let it happen again
They're always takin' over
I see they surround me, I see...
See them deciding my fate
Oh, that which was once...was once up to me...
Now it's too late
I got bugs in my room...one on one
That's when I had a chance
I'll just stop now
I'll become naked And with the...
I'll become one

SATAN'S BED
It's not all been said...been said and done...
I've never slept in Satan's bed
Although I must admit...still visits my place
Uninvited, as you know, he don't wait
Funny how he always seems to fit in
Funny how I always want to give in
Sundays, Fridays, Tuesdays, Thursday, the same
Sometimes the special guest, he don't like to leave
Already...in love... (3x)
Already...
Who made, who made up, made up the myth
That we were born to be covered in bliss?
Who set the standard, born to be rich?
Such fine examples, skinny little bitch
Model, role model, roll some models in blood
Get some flesh to stick, so they look like us
I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the club
I'd stop and talk, but I'm already in love
Already...in love... (3x)
Already...
In love...Ah ha ha ha...
...follows torture...follows reward... (2x)
Oh, oh my butt...
Never shook Satan's hand, look see for yourself
You'd know it if I had, that shit don't come off
I'll rise and fall, let me take credit for both
Jump off a cliff, don't need your help so back off
I'll never suck Satan's dick...
Again, you'd see it, you know, right round the lips
I'll wait for an angel, but I won't hold my breath
'Magine they're busy, think I'm doing okay...
Already...in love... (6x)
Already...

BETTER MAN
Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over...
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man (2x)
Ohh...
Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know...
She tells herself, oh...
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along...
Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man (2x)
Yeah...
She loved him, yeah...she don't want to leave this way
She feeds him, yeah...that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man (3x)
Can't find a better...man...
Ohh...ohh...
Uh huh... (5x)
Ohh...

AYE DAVANITA
Awooh...aye davanita...awooh...awooha... (4x)
Jahooh...jahooh... (Repeat)
Awooh...aye davanita...awooh...awooha... (4x)

IMMORTALITY
Vacate is the word...vengeance has no place so near to her
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers
Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...
A truant finds home...and I wish to hold on...
But there's a trapdoor in the sun...immortality...
As privileged as a whore...victims in demand for public show
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
Holier than thou, how?
Surrendered...executed anyhow
Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...
A truant finds home...and I wish to hold on, too...
But saw the trapdoor in the sun...
Immortality...
I cannot stop the thought...I'm running in the dark...
Coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...
Oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...
And whiskers in the sink...
Truants move on...cannot stay long
Some die just to live... Ohh...

SOMETIMES
Large fingers pushing paint
You're god and you've got big hands
Colors blend
The challenges you give man
Seek my part
Devote myself, my small self
Like a book amongst the many on a shelf
Sometimes I know
Sometimes I rise
Sometimes I fall
Sometimes I don't
Sometimes I cringe
Sometimes I live
Sometimes I walk
Sometimes I kneel
Sometimes I speak of nothing at all
Sometimes I reach to myself, dear god

HAIL, HAIL
Ah, is there room for both of us? Both of us apart?
Are we bound out of obligation? Is that all we've got?
I get the words and then I get to thinking...
I don't want to think, I wanna feel
And how do I feel? And how do I...
If you're the only one will I never be enough, well?
Hail hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love, yeah
Swore I'd love you til the day I die, and beyond
Are we going to the same place? If so, can I come?
It's egg rolling thick and heavy. All the past you carry
Oh, I could be new. You underestimate me
If you're the only one will I never be enough, well?
Hail hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love, yeah
I sometimes realize I could only be as good as you'll let me
Are you woman enough to be my man?
Bandaged hand in hand
I find it on the run in a race that can't be won, yeah
All hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love, yeah
If you're my only one.. So good you, only one...
I want to be your one
Enough, you won! Your one, your own

WHO YOU ARE
Come to send, not condescend
Transcendent to consequences
To transcend where we are
Who are we? Who we are
Trampled marks on your souls
Change is on, you're a part
Seen it all, not at all
Can't defend the command
Take me for a ride before we leave
Circumstance, clapping hands
A-dyin' winds Heaven sends
Off the track, in the mud
That's the marks before mentioned words
And a little...
Just a little time before we leave
Stop light plays its part so I would say you've got a part
What's your part? Who you are
You are who, who you are

IN MY TREE
Up here in my tree, yea
Newspapers matter not to me, yea
No more crowbars to my head, yea
I'm trading stories with the leaves instead, yea
I wave to all my friends, yea
They don't seem to notice me, no
Ah, their eyes straight on the street, yo! Oh...
Sidewalks, cigarettes and scenes, yeah, yeah
Up here so high I start to shake
Up here so high the sky I scrape
I'm so high I hold just one breath deep within my chest, just like innocence
(Eddie's down in his home)
(Oh, the blue sky it's his home)
(Eddie's blue sky home)
(Oh, the blue sky it's his home)
I remember when, yeah, I swore I knew everything
They say knowledge is a tree, yea
It's growing up just like me, yea
I'm so light the wind he shakes
I'm so high the sky I scrape
Yea, I'm so high I hold just one breath, to go back to my nest, to sleep with innocence
Up here so high the bars they break
Up here so high the sky I scrape
And my eyes feel both wide open
And I got a glimpse of my inner sense
Got back my innocence
Still got it, still got it

SMILE
Don't it make you smile?
Don't it make you smile?
When the sun don't shine,
Don't it make you smile?
Don't it make you smile?
Don't it make me smile?
When the sun don't shine, it don't shine at all
Don't it make me smile?
I miss you already, I miss you always
I miss you already, yeah, I miss you all day
This is how I feel
I miss you already, yea, I miss you always
Three crooked hearts swirls all around
I miss you all day
Don't it make you smile?
Three crooked hearts swirls all around
Don't it make you smile?

OFF HE GOES
(one two, one two three..)
Know a man, his face seemed pulled and tense
Like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
So I approach with tact
Suggest that he should relax, but he's always moving much too fast
Said he'll see me on the flipside of this trip he's taking for a ride
He's been taking too much on
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
There he goes..
He's yet to come back but I see his picture
It doesn't look the same up on the rack
We go way back...
I wonder about his insides
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size
He's been taken, where? I don't know
Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
There he goes..
And now I rub my eyes for he has returned
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
For he still smiles, and he's still strong
Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit, that has grown
And now he's home and we're laughing like we always did, my same old, same old friend
Until a quarter to ten, I saw the strain creep in
He seems distracted and I know just what is going to happen next
Before his first step, he is off again...

HABIT
See it happen to a couple of friends
Seen it happen and the message it sends
Taking off for what's an obvious fall
Just to see what all the fuss is about
It's not your way
Not your way
It's not your way
Another habit says it's in love with you
Another habit says its love's overdue
Another habit like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self
It's not your way
Not your way
It's not your way
<PI never thought you'd...
Never thought you'd
Never thought you'd habit (x3)
I never thought you'd...
Never never thought you'd
Never thought you'd habit (x6)
Speaking as a child of the 90's...
Never thought you'd habit (x3)
I never thought you'd
Never thought you'd
Never thought you'd habit (x3)
I never thought you'd
Never never thought you'd
Never... never me, never you, never me

RED MOSQUITO
Watched from the window, with a red mosquito
I was not allowed to leave the room
I saw the sun go down and now it's coming up
Somewhere in the time between
I was bitten, must have been the devil
He was just paying me a little visit
Reminding me of his presence
Letting me know he's awaiting, Ohh...
Red man's your neighbour, call it behaviour
While you're climbing up slippery hills
Two steps ahead of him, punctures in your neck
Hovering just above your bed
Hovering just above your bed
I was bitten, must have been the devil
He was just paying me a little visit
Reminding me of his presence
And letting me know he's awaiting
He's awaiting ohh there, yeah
If I had known then what I know now... (x4)

LUKIN
Drive down the street, can't find the keys to my own fucking home
I'll take a walk so I could curse my ass for being dumb
I'll make a right, after the arches, stinking grease and bone
Stopped at the supermarket, people stare like I'm a dog
I'm going to Lukin's
I've got a spot at Lukin's
I knocked the door at Lukin's, opened the fridge
Now I know life is worth
I found the key but I return to find an open door
Some fucking freak who claims I fathered, by rape, her own son
I find my wife, I call the cops, this day's work's never done
The last I heard that freak was purchasing a fucking gun

PRESENT TENSE
Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire?
Leaning out to catch the sun's rays, a lesson to be applied
Are you getting something out of this all encompassing tree?
You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, ohh
Or you can come to terms and realize you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh mmm
Makes much more sense to live in the present tense
Have you ideas on how this life ends?
Check your hands and study the lines
Have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light?
Seems that needlessly it's getting harder to find an approach and a way to live
Are we getting something out of this all encompassing dream
You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, ohh
Or you can come to terms and realize you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself
Makes more sense to live in the present tense

MANKIND
You'll be going out with radio, going out with disco, going out like bacchanal
I'll be going out with telephone, going out alone, to the radar zone
It's all just inadvertent imitation, and I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation
If it's just inadvertent simulation, a pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world faking it?
I'll be playing with my magazine, using up my Listerine, like ovaltine
And you'll be dipping in your battleship, for the latest tip, for the latest dream
It's all just inadvertent imitation, and I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation
If it's just inadvertent simulation, a pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world faking it?
If it's just inadvertent imitation, a pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world faking... (x5)
What's got the whole world faking it?

I'M OPEN
A man lies in his bed in a room with no door
He waits hoping for a presence, something, anything, to enter
After spending half his life searching, He still felt as blank as the ceiling at which he's staring
He's alive but feels absolutely nothing. So is he?
When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him,
By nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact
No tradebacks
So this is what it's like to be an adult
If he only knew now what he knew then...
I'm open, (x2)
Come on in (x4)
I'm open, (x2)
Come on in (x4)
Laying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers, he decides to dream
Dream up a new self for himself

AROUND THE BEND
I'm wishing you all well
Mind at peace within your cell
Covers up, I cast you off
I'll be watching as you breathe
I lie still, you move, I send you off around the bend
I hold your head deep in my arms
My fingertips they close your eyes
Off you dream my little child
There's a sun around the bend (x2)
All the evenings close like this
All these moments that I've missed
Please forgive me, won't you dear?
Please forgive and let me share with you around the bend
You're an angel when you sleep
How I want your soul to keep on, and on, around the bend

BRAIN OF J
Who's got the brain of JFK?
What's it mean to us now, yeah?
Oh, it's sound insurance
But I can tell you, this is no lie
The whole world will be different soon
The whole world will be relieved {2X}
You, you've been taught
We'd been the same, now they got you in line
Stand behind the stripes
There will be order, so give it a good mind
The whole world will be different soon
The whole world will be relieved {2X}
And by name
The name they gave me
The name I'm letting go..
The whole world will be different soon
The whole world will be relieved {3X}
The whole world will be different soon, soon

FAITHFULL
Plaque on the wall says that no one's slept here
It's rare to come upon a bridge that has not been around
Or been stepped on
Whatever the notions, we laced in our prayers
The man who's upstairs is used to all of this noise
I'm through with screaming
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes like this..
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it {4X}
Echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes {2X}
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it {3X}
So faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
M.Y.T.H. is
Belief in the game controls that keeps us in a box of fear
We even listen
Voice inside so drowned out
Drowned you are, you are, you are a furry thing
And everything is you
Me you, you me, it's all related
What's a boy to do?
Just be darling and I will be too
Faithful to you

NO WAY
Here's a token of my openness
Of my need to not disappear
How I'm feeling, so revealing to me
I found my mind too clear
I just need someone to be there for.. me
I just want someone to be there for.. me
All the static in my attic-a
Shoots down my side nerve
To the ocean of my platitudes
Longitudes, latitudes, it's so absurd
I just need someone to be there for..
I just want someone to be there for..
Someone to be there for..
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way {2X}
Ooh, let's call in an angel {3X}
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way {2X}
No way, no way
Let's call in an angel
Who's calling an angel?

GIVEN TO FLY
He could have tuned in, tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knees
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh
He's.. flying
Whole
High.. wide, oh
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly
High.. flying
Oh, oh
High.. flying
Oh, oh
He's.. flying
Oh, oh

WISHLIST
I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky
I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off your camaros hood
I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down
I wish I was a radio song, the one you couldn't turn off
I wish I wish I wish I wish ... I guess it never stops

PILATE
Talk of circles, punching out
Looking in, drawing circles down
Falling up the south, marking ground
Talking out of turn, drawing circles down
Like Pilate, I have a dog {3X}
{Obeys, listens, kisses, loves}
Walks me out of town
Still, one is a crowd
Making angels in the dirt
Looking up, looking all around
Like Pilate, I have a dog {2X}
{Obeys, listens, kisses, loves}
Stunned by my own reflection
It's looking back, sees me too clearly
And I swore I'd never go there again
Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down, you down, you down
Like Pilate, I have a dog {4X}
{Obeys, listens, kisses, loves}

DO THE EVOLUTION
Woo..
I'm ahead, I'm a man
I'm the first mammal to wear pants, yeah
I'm at peace with my lust
I can kill 'cause in God I trust, yeah
It's evolution, baby
I'm at peace, I'm the man
Buying stocks on the day of the crash, yeah
On the loose, I'm a truck
All the rolling hills, I'll flatten 'em out, yeah
It's herd behavior, uh huh
It's evolution, baby
Admire me, admire my home
Admire my son, here's my coat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This land is mine, this land is free
I'll do what I want but irresponsibly
It's evolution, baby
I'm a thief, I'm a liar
There's my church, I sing in the choir:
{hallelujah…hallelujah…}
Admire me, admire my home
Admire my son, admire my clothes
'Cause we know, appetite for a nightly feast
Those ignorant Indians got nothin' on me
Nothin', why?
Because, it's evolution, baby!
I am ahead, I am advanced
I am the first mammal to make plans, yeah
I crawled the earth, but now I'm higher
Twenty-ten, watch it go to fire
It's evolution, baby {2X}
Do the evolution
Come on, come on, come on

THE COLOR RED
We're all crazy
We're all crazy and we're {6X}

MINI FAST CARS
Sliding out of reverse into drive, this...
Wheel will be turning right, then straight
Off in the sunset she'll ride
She can remember a time denied, stood by
The side of the road, spilled like wine, now...
She's out on her own and line high
There's no leaving here
Ask I'm an ear
She's disappeared
They said timing was everything
Made him want to be everywhere
There's a lot to be said for nowhere
There's no leaving here
Ask I'm an ear
He's disappeared
There's no leaving here
Ask I'm an ear
We've disappeared

LOW LIGHT
Clouds roll by
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way?
Wind blows by ... lowlight
Sidetracked ... lowlight
Can't see my tracks, your scent-way back
Can I be here all alone?
Clear a path to my home
Blood runs dry
Books and jealousy tell me wrong
All I feel calm
Voice blows by, lowlight
Car crash, lowlight
Can't wear my mask, your first, my last
Voice tells why
Two birds is what they'll see
Getting lost upon their way
Wind rolls by, lowlight
Eyesight, lowlight
I need the light
I'll find my way from wrong, what's real
Our dream I see

IN HIDING
I shut and locked the front door
No way in or out
I turned and walked the hallway
And pulled the curtains down
I knelt and emptied the mouth of every club around
But nothing's sound, nothing's sound
I'd stay but my last cab left me
Ignored all my rounds
Soon I was seeing visions and cracks along the walls
They were upside down
I swallow my words to keep from lying
I swallow my face just to keep from biting, I, I..
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving
I surfaced when all of my pain was enlightened
I'm in hiding {4X}
It's been about three days now
Since I've been aground
No longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now
It's funny when things change so much
It's all state of mind
I swallowed my words to keep from lying
I swallowed my face just to keep from biting, I, I..
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, I was diving...
I surfaced and all around me was enlightened
Now I'm in hiding {8X}

PUSH ME, PULL ME
I had a false belief
I thought I came here to stay
We're all just visiting
All just breaking like waves
The oceans made me, but who came up with love?
Push me, pull me, push me, or put me out
Push me, pull me, or put me out {2X}
So if there were no angels, would there be no sin?
You better stop me before I begin
But let me say:
If I behave, can you arrange a spacious hole in the ground
Somewhere nice, make it nice
Where the land meets high tide
Push me, pull me, or just put me out
Push me, pull me, or put me out {3X}
Like a cloud dropping rain
I'm discarding all thought
I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground
I'm like an opening band for the sun
Push me, pull me {6X}
I've had enough, said enough, felt enough, I'm fine, still in it..

ALL THOSE YESTERDAYS
Don't you think you oughta rest?
Don't you think you oughtta lay your head down?
Don't you think you want to sleep?
Don't you think you oughtta lay your head down tonight?
Don't you think you've done enough?
Oh, don't you think you've got enough, well maybe..?
You don't think there's time to stop
There's time enough for you to lay your head down, tonight, tonight
Let it wash away
All those yesterdays
What are you running from?
Taking pills to get along
Creating walls to call your own
So no one catches you
Drifting off and doing all the things
That we all do
Let them wash away
All those yesterdays
All those yesterdays
All those paper plates
You've got time, you've got time to escape
There's still time, it's no crime to escape
It's no crime to escape, it's no crime to escape
There's still time, so escape
It's no crime, crime..
All those yesterdays {9X}

BREAKERFALL
There's a girl on a ledge
She's got nowhere to turn
Cause all the love that she had was just wood that she burned
Now her life is on fire it's no one's concern
She can blame the world or prey till dawn
But only love can break her fall
Break her fall
Yeah, only love can break her fall, fall
It's like she lost her invitation to the party on earth
And she's standing outside hating everyone here
Yeah, she's her own disease, crying to her doll
But only love can break her fall
Break her fall
Only love can break her fall, yeah
Yeah fall.. blame the world..
Break her fall
Love, love, love can break her fall
Now only love can break her fall
Love, love can break her fall, fall
Love, love can break her fall
Only love can break her

GODS' DICE
It's out of my hands making your hands meet
Stumble rises crumbling out of reach
It's in the cards of destiny, your sanity in tow
Designate my luck
Oh resignate
This power has no roots to guide, no role
Trust me, rusted minds refuse to go
Unwillingness it's meaningless to walk away in vain
Designate my will
Ah, designate my fill
Ah resignate
My will is crashing, synapses flashing slow
Ah, days like frame by frame
Where do they go?
Ah yeah, why fight? Forget it
Cannot spend it after I go
Roll them high
Throw them again
All Gods' Dice
Monkey driven, call this living
Too much thought, it's overwrought, a hole
Yeah, minding yours what's mine not yours
Will finish us off
Ah, designate my life
Ah, designate my view
Ah, resignate my will, my will, my will, I will
Resignate my god

EVACUATION
The sirens scream wanton attention
Time to take heed and change direction
Time to take stock and make omissions
Evacuation, evacuation
Time to take leave all formal functions
Time to plant seeds of a reconstruction
No time this time to feign reluctance
It's like your waiting for a diamond shore to wash your way
Bets put aside you're evil
Lets crawl into your face
A vision, vague or not, raising a frightful wake-you-up
Time for evacuation
Evacuation (5x)
There was a solemn man. Watched his twilight disappear
Altered by a fallen eagle, a warning sign
He sensed that worry could be strength
With a plan he said, "Time for evacuation"
Evacuation (10x)

LIGHT YEARS
I've used hammers made out of wood
I have played games with pieces and rules
I've deciphered tricks at the bar
But now you're gone.. I haven't figured out why
I've come up with riddles and jokes about war
I figured out numbers and what they're for
I've understood feelings and I've understood words
But how could you be taken away?
And wherever you've gone
And wherever we might go
It don't seem fair
Today just disappeared
Your lights reflected now, reflected from afar
We were but stones
Your light made us stars
With heavy breath, awakened regrets
Back pages and days alone that could have been spent together
But we were miles apart
Every inch between us becomes light years now
No time to be void or save up on life
Oh, you got to spend it all
And wherever you've gone
And wherever we might go
It don't seem fair
You seem to like it here
Your lights reflected now, reflected from afar
We were but stones
Your light made us stars
And wherever you've gone
And wherever we might go
It don't seem fair
Today just disappeared
Your lights reflected now, reflected from afar
We were by stones
Your light made us stars

NOTHING AS IT SEEMS
Don't feel like home, he's a little out
And all these words elope, it's nothing like your poem
Putting in, inputting in, don't feel like methadone
A scratching voice all alone, it's nothing like your baritone
It's nothing as it seems
The little that he needs, it's home
The little that he sees is nothing he concedes
It's home
One uninvited chromosome, a blanket like the ozone
It's nothing as it seems
All that he needs, it's home
The little that he frees is nothing he believes
Saving up a sunny day
Something maybe two tone
Anything of his own
A chip off the corner stone
Who's kidding?
Rainy day
A one way ticket headstone
Occupations overthrown
A whisper through a megaphone
It's nothing as it seems
The little that he needs, it's home
The little that he sees is nothing he concedes
It's home
And all that he frees, a little bittersweet
It's home
It's nothing as it seems
The little that you see, it's home

THIN AIR
There's a light, when my baby's in my arms
There's a light, when the window shades are drawn
Hesitate when I feel I may do harm to her
Wash it off 'cause this feeling we can share
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air
Byzantine is reflected in our pond
There's a cloud, but the water remains calm
Reaching in, the suns fingers clutch the dawn to pass
Even out, it's a precious thing to bear
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air
Yes I know she's reached my heart in thin air
It's not in my past to presume
Love can keep on moving, in both directions
How to be happy and true, is the quest we're taking on together
Taking on, on, on, on, on
Taking on, on, on, on, on
There's a light when my baby's in my arms
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air (x3)
Yes I know she's reached my heart

INSIGNIFICANCE
All in all, it's no one's fault
Excuses turn to carbon walls
Blame it all on chemical intercourse
The swallowed seeds of arrogance, breeding in the thoughts of ten
Thousand fools that fight irrelevance
The full moon is dead skin
The one down here's wearing thin
So set up..
The ten pins, as the human tide rolls in
Like a ball that's spinning
Bombs dropping down, overhead, underground
It's instilled to wanna to live
Bombs dropping down
Please forgive our hometown in our insignificance
"Turn the jukebox up," he said
Dancing in irreverence
Play V-3
Let the song protest
The plates begin to shift
Perfect lefts come rolling in
I was alone and far away, hey
When I heard the band start playing
On the lip, late take off
Bombs dropping down, overhead, underground
It's instilled to wanna to live
Bombs dropping down
Please forgive our hometown in our insignificance
Feel like resonance of distance
In the blood, the iron lies
It's instilled to wanna to live
Bombs dropping down
Please forgive our hometown in our insignificance
Oh, in our insignificance

OF THE GIRL
Oh he deals them off, of the top, ties them off
Fills it up with his past, gets carried away
Oh half his life, a hand me down wasted away
Oh he fills it up with the love of a girl
Oh he left it alone, drilled the pain, with money to buy
How he makes his getaway
How he makes his getaway
Oh he chose a path, havy the fall, quarter to four
Fills his night with the thought of a girl
How he makes his getaway (x3)
Get away..

GRIEVANCE
Have a drink they're buying
Bottom of, bottle of denial
Big eye, big eye watching me
Have to wonder what it sees.. sin
Progress laced with ramifications
Freedom's big punch
Pull the innocent from a crowd
Raise those sticks them bring them down
If they fail to obey
Ah, if they fail to obey
For every tool they lend us.. a loss of independence
I pledge my grievance to the flag
Cause you don't give blood then take it back again
Oh we're all deserving something more
Progress
Taste it
Invest it all
Champagne breakfast for everyone, everyone
Break the innocent when they're proud
Raise those stakes then bring them down
If they fail to obey
Yeah, ha, if they fail to obey
Pledge your grievance to the flag
Come on, don't give blood, then take it back again
Oh, we're all deserving something more
I wanna breathe part of the scene
I wanna taste everyone I see
I wanna run when I'm up high
I wanna run to the sea
I wannna life to be
I just wanna be
I will feel alive as long as I am free

RIVAL
All my rivals will see what I have in store.. my gun
I've been harboring fleets in this reservoir.. red sun
And this nation's about to explode
Your disciples are riddled with metaphors.. well hung
Better pony up and bring both your barrels full.. not one
As we release this unspeakable toll, wooh
Happy idols can crawl
All the sound and acting well
How's our mother to damn these contributors.. with mud?
How will the man who made chemicals difficult.. shed blood?
How's our father supposed to be told?

SLEIGHT OF HAND
Routine was the theme
He'd wake up wash and pour himself into uniform
Something he hadn't imagined being
As the merging traffic passed
He found himself staring down at his own hands
Not remembering the change
Not recalling the plan
Was it?
He was okay but wondering about wandering
Was it age by consequence?
Or was he moved by sleight of hand?
Mondays were made to fall
Lost on a road he knew by heart
It was like a book he read in his sleep.. endlessly
Sometimes he hid in the radio, watching other pull into their homes
While he was drifting
On a line of his own
Off the line on the side
Bye the by
As dirt turned to sand
As if moved by sleight of hand
When he reached the shore of his clip on world
He resurfaced to the norm
Organized his few things, his coat and keys
Any new realizations would have to wait
Till he had more time.. more time
A time to dream to himself
He waves goodbye to himself
I'll see you on the other side
Another man moved by slight of hand

SOON FORGET
Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette
Thinks he'll get the girl, he'll only get the mechanic
What's missing..?
He's living a day he'll soon forget
That's one more time around
The sun is going down
The moon is out but he's drunk and shouting, putting people down
He's pissing
He's living a day he'll soon forget
Counts his money every morning
The only thing that keeps him horny
Locked in a giant house, that's alarming
The townsfolk, they all laugh
Sorry is the fool who trades his love for hi-rise rent
Seems the more you make equals the loneliness you get
And it's fitting
He's barely living a day he'll soon forget
That's one more time around and there is not a sound
He's lying dead clutching Benjamins, never put the money down
He's stiffening
We're all whistling a man we'll soon forget

PARTING WAYS
Behind her eyes there's curtains
And they've been closed to hide the flames.. remains
She knows their future's burning
But she can smile just the same, same
And though her mood is fine today
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways
Standing like a statue
A chin of stone, a heart of clay, hey
And though he's too big a man to say
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways
Drifting away, drifting away, drifting away, away..
Drifting away, drifting away, drifting away, away...

SAVE YOU
Gonna save you fucker,....not gonna lose you
Feeling cocky and strong,.. can't let you go,...
Too important to me
Too important to us,... we'd be lost without you
Baby, let yourself fall,... I'm right below you now
And fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear
And fuck if you only hear what you wanna hear
Fuck me if I care,... but I'm not leaving here
You helped me when I was down,... I'll help when you're down
Why are you hitting yourself,... c'mon hit me instead
Let's pick up your will,... it's grown fat and lazy
I'm sympathetic as well,... don't go on me now
And I'm not living this life without you, I'm selfist and clear
And you're not leaving here without me, I don't wanna be without
My best friend,... wake up to see you could have it all
Cause there is but you,... and something within you
It's taken control,.. let's beat it, get up let's go
Oh you're in your own world, let's see the whole world
Let's pick up your soul
And fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear
And fuck me if you only hear the treble in your head
Please help,... me,... to help you,... help yourself
Help me help yourself,... please want me to,... please let me to
Help you

LOVE BOAT CAPTAIN
Is this just another day,... this god forgotten place?
First comes love, then comes pain. Let the games begin,...
Questions rise and answers fall,... insurmountable.
Love boat captain
Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear,... here.
It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough.
All you need is love
Is this just another phase? Earthquakes making waves,...
Trying to shake the cancer off? Stupid human beings,...
Once you hold the hand of love,.. it's all surmountable.
Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you,...
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word I stil believe
And it's
It's an art to live with pain,... mix the light into grey,..
Lost 9 friends we'll never know,.. 2 years ago today
And if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret?
And the young, they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today,...
The wisdom that the old can't give away
Hey,...
Constant recoil...
Sometimes life
Don't leave you alone.
Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word that I still believe and it's
Love,... love. love. love. love.
Love boat captain
Take the reigns,.. steer us towards the clear.
I know it's already been sung,... can't be said enough.
Love is all you need,.. all you need is love,..
Love,.. love,...
Love

CROPDUSTER
Light green to green, dark green, brown..
Every life is falling down
Brown to black, it's coming back
Dies to be part of the ground
Seed to seedling, root to stem
Eyes, no eyes, there's no difference,...
Every life is looking in
Swallowing seeds on the deathbed,...
Dig a hole in,... the garden.
Everyone is practicing,...
But this world's an accident.
I was the fool because I thought
I thought the world
Turns out the world thought me
It's all the other way round
We're upside down
Daddy's gone up flames,..
But this ain't no movie
This ain't no book you can close
When the big lie hits your eye.
Everybody's practicing,....
Our world's an accident
I was the fool because I thought
Let the fluence sat it down.
There's an upside of down.
The moon is rolling round the world
GHOST
The mind is grey,... like the city
Packing in and overgrown
Love is deep,... dig it out
Standing in a hole alone
Working for something,.. that we can never hold
A place in the clouds.
Your place to hide oh my oh
I'm flying away, away
I'm driving away, away
The TV, she talks to me
Breaking news and building walls
Selling us, what I dont need
Didn't know soap made you taller
So I'm riding away, away
Hiding away, away
So much talk it makes no sense at all
So I'm flying away, away
Driving away, away
Passing old friends I don't miss at all
It doesn't hurt,.. when I bleed
BUt memories they eat me
I've seen it all before,..
Bring it on cause I'm no victim
Dying
Dying

I AM MINE
The selfish they're all standing in line...
Faith in their hope and to buy themselves time.
Me, I figure as each breath goes by,
I only own my mind.
The north is to south what the clock is to time.
There's east and there's west and there everywhere life.
I know that I was born and I know that I'll die.
The in between is mine. I am mine.
And the feeling it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with time...
We're different behind the eyes, there's no need to hide.
We're safe tonight.
The ocean is full cause everyone's crying,
The full moon is looking for friends at high tide.
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrows denied.
I only know my mind. I am mine.
And the feeling it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with time.
We're different between the lines, there's no need to hide...
Cause we're safe tonight.
And the feeling it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with time.
We're different behind the eyes, there's no need to hide.
And the feeling it gets left behind...
Oh the innocence broken with lies.
We're different behind the eyes.
We're safe tonight

THUMBING MY WAY
I have not been home since you left long ago
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
counting steps, walking backwards on the road
i'm counting my way back to heaven
i can't be free with what's locked inside of me
if there was a key, you took it in your hand
there's no wrong or right, but i'm sure there's good and bad
the questions linger overhead
no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
i wish that i could hold you
i wish that i had
thinking 'bout heaven
i let go of a rope, thinking that's what held me back
and in time i've realized, it's now wrapped around my neck
i can't see what's next, from this lonely overpass
hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past
all the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives
choosing the shiny ones instead
i turned my back, now there's no turning back
no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
i smile, but who am i kidding?
i'm just walking the miles, every once in a while i'll get a ride
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
thumbing my way back to heaven
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven...
YOU ARE
This broken wheel is coming undone
And the roads exploding
But you're keeping me strong
Rolling along with you,...
Love is a tower
And you're the key
Leading me higher
When you let me in
Keeping us close,... so close
On down the line
Sometimes I burn like a dot on the sun
With no one knowing
But you're keeping me strong
Rolling along with you
You are a tower of
Strength to me
The darkening hour
Sees light again
Ooh wah, ooh wah, you are...
Love is a tower
Of strength to me
I am the shoreline
But you're the sea
You are

GET RIGHT
I want for to lay down, i'm waiting 'till sundown
i'm searching the haystacks, water is sunshine, wait for the moment
the moment between us, the fire is made now, hot to the touch
i wanted to get right
i wanted to get right
i wanted to get right with you
bakers dozen parades, stand and debate
out single file, nine in a row, swear if you must
keeping your boots on, float with the now, hot to the touch
concrete underground, cast out everyday, the dregs of society
underbelly, inside of me, rejoice and follow thee
i wanted to get right
i wanted to get right
i wanted to get right with it, with you
with... you...
yeah
i wanted to get right
i wanted to get right
i wanted to get right
...

GREEN DISEASE
It's a disease,... and they're all green
It emminates from their being
Agitation,.. with occupation
And like weeds,.. with big leaves
Stealing light from what's beneath
Where they have more,...
Still they take more
Course I know,.. then I don't
There's a stoway with my throat
It's deceiving
I don't believe him
We can scream,.. out our doors
Behind the wall a fat man snores
In his dreams he's,...
Choking on leaves
Well I guess
There's nothing wrong with what you say
Believe me
Just asking you to sway
No white
Or black
Just grey
Can you feel this,..
World with your heart and not your brain?

HELP HELP
Tell me what I wanna hear
This suits too good to be true
My dear
Tell me lies
Tell me lies, tell me
Tell me lies, tell me
Help me
Storybook keeps from hurting me
You see
Shell of the man from the sea
Tell me lies
Tell me lies, tell me
Tell me lies, tell me
Tell me why
Tell me why, tell me
Tell me why, tell me
Tell me lies,...
Help me
Reservoir
Of hate and fear
Invisible
In repair
A hundred theives
Cast a spell
This is hell
Help me
The man they call my enemy, I've seen his eyes
He looks just like me, a mirror
The more you read, we've been deceived
Everyday it becomes clearer,...
Clearer.
Not my enemy,.. no, not my enemy,..
Don't speak for me. No, not my enemy

BUSHLEAGUER
How does he do it? How do they do it? Uncanny and immutable
This is such a happening tailpipe of a party.
Like sugar, the guests are so refined, (look like melting mice)
A confidence man, but why so beleagued?
He's not a leader, he's a Texas leaguer
Swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike
Drilling for fear, makes the job simple
Born on third, thinks he got a triple
Blackout weaves its way through the cities
Blackout weaves its way through the cities
Blackout weaves its way,...
I remember when you sang
That song about today
Now it's tomorrow and
Everything has changed
A think tank of aloof multiplication
A nicotine wish and a colossus decanter
Retrenchment and foolishness
"What's the buckos?"
The raves have not a clue
The immenseness of suffering
And the odd negotiation, a rarity
With onionskin plausibility of life,
And a keyboard reaffirmation
Blackout weaves its way through the cities
Blackout weaves its way through the cities
Blackout weaves its way,...
I remember when you sang
That song about today
Now it's tomorrow and
Everything has changed

1/2 FULL
Climbing on a mountain
Floating out on the sea
Far from lights of a city
The elements they speak to me
Whispering that life
Existed long before breed
Balancing the world
On its knee
Don't see some men as 1/2 empty
See them 1/2 full of shit
Thinking that we're all but slaves
There's ain't gonna be
No middle anymore
It's been said before
The haves be having more
Yet still bored
Won't someone save?
Won't someone save
The world?

ARC (INSTRUMENTAL)

ALL OR NONE
It's a hopeless... situation
And I'm starting to believe
That this hopeless... situation
Is what I'm trying to achieve
But I try
To run on
Towards
All or none,... all or none
Here's the selfless confession
Leading me back to war
Can we help that,.. our destinations
Are the ones we've been before
I still try
To run on
Towards all
Or none,... all or none
To myself I... surrender
To the one I'll never please
I still try,.. to run on
But I still try,.. to run on
But it's
All or none,... all or none
