What It’s Like
04:11
|
|||
|
things are moving very fast
its like a montage in this waking life
and the ride is getting faster
hasn't slowed down since i was a child
if i could back in time
i'd look myself in the eyes
and ask me what it's like
now i'm searchin far and wide
but he's not here inside
i guess i like to hide
that's a stranger in those photos
that's a boy that i have never met
don't go and tell me that we have the same heart beating up inside our chests

Visitor Blues

visitor blues
i'm just a stranger here
i think they're new
but they've known me for years
i've walked into a hundred bars
i've driven past a thousand cars
i've travelled quite a distance far
and now i'm stuck here
visitor blues
it's just a stop to pass
i've been here so long
i wonder will it last
i sit in every social spot
greeting names that i've forgot
my self is something that i'm not
and now i'm stuck here

Pretty Cheap
03:25
|
|||
|
drivin on the highway in the night
i'm, leaving them behind
ignorin all the thoughts that pass me by
i, know it isn't right
that old house is a place i cannot stand
it's, a dangerous land
you're stuck there and you're drowning in the sand
should, i lend you my hand?
i really shouldn't leave
but, my life is calling me
why do all my ends have to compete?
life is pretty cheap

Nothing Blows My Mind
02:33
|
|||
|
nothing blows my mind anymore
if i'm gonna be honest
late night meal delivered to my door
the funds come out of my pocket
vast white rooms filled with machines
little bells fill the silence
and none of it impresses me
not even televised violence

Absent Minded Me
03:40
|
|||
|
just absent minded me, again
messin anything up that i can
my brain doesn't work like it did back then
well i guess this is just who i am
lying on the floor
nothing in my head
is there something more to this?
i should be ignored
delete the things i said
i'm just a monkey that wants bliss
heard it all before
this is just a phase
tomorrow the day is yours
my sense is out the door
i keep forgetting things
living feels more like a chore
world is changin now
forgot the tweet you sent
every day's a paradigm
we've got to change somehow
do we face the end?
i don't wanna wait in line
i know a livelihood
underneath our skin
maybe its from up above
we could all break through
we could all reach in
by myself i'm not enough

Roof's Burning Down
04:22
|
|||
|
she makes me feel
like im just a kid
she fills up the room
but where do i fit?
She sculpted herself at the gym
In classical form
I chisel up a foolish grin
It’s all I’m good for
i’ll never leave
this house is a home
the roofs burning down
and i feel alone
she comments on the rain outside
she never gets wet
She tells me bout her dreams at night
they make too much sense
how was your day?
i don’t really care
She’s speaking in tongues
the meaning’s not there
i feel like an actor’s role
a gaping facade
she says i’m like a movie star
i guess she’s not wrong
maybe i should just skip town
but everywhere’s strange
there’s foolish people everywhere
and I’m just the same

Wake Up Now
03:41
|
|||
|
wake up now
the world has turned upside down
wake up now
its changin' all around
there's pictures of white folks smilin
up on the walls
i'm just here to buy some fruit
what's the point of it all?
they play some music as i
fill up my tank
but i dont hear it cause my
mind has gone blank
as the dogs tear up the meat outside
i'm sittin here
and i've realized
that my life is a footnote to those times
when the bombs were dropped and truth
turned on its side

Animals Unfree
04:34
|
|||
|
it's not a choice, or at least
not one that's made by me
raise your voice, join the chorus
of animals unfree
when i dig myself out this hole
the first thing that i'll do
is apologize to you
but i'm still pushing through!
spirits rise and rain does fall
covering the land in an ethereal gloom
as the path beneath our feet leads us to our rooms
she won't cry or talk at all
she stays inside, so terrified of meaningful talk
connections that could heal the wounds but burn just like salt
leave the passions out to dry
and let the autopilot settle in to take our lives
the energy that runs so thin as we divert our eyes
she still suffers from attacks
as i watch from distant eyes on parallel tracks
heading towards a nothingness, an immovable fact

Walks of Life
03:24
|
|||
|
different walks of life
reaching for the zenith
nobody really knows why
but we just keep on steppin
sing some words that rhyme
make sure it has a message
i don't think that i really know why
but i just keep on writing
different sects of faith
looking in the mirror
you reach out and you touch your face
but the answer isn't clearer
and every point in space
is silent as the night
as i live out the rest of my days
i reach the zenith out of sight

Love That Takes Me
03:44
|
|||
|
I wanna love that takes me
far away
I wanna love that takes me
far away
I wanna love that takes me
far away
I wanna love that takes me far away
and i can feel it in my bones and everything
I wanna go to that place
where I'm gone
Become who I always was
next to you
in the moonlight, standing by the sunset
next to you
into nothing
becoming something
once again

Mirror Stage
04:14
|
|||
|
In your arms
I struggle endlessly alone
Must be a misnomer to
Call this place a home
I walk the halls just like a
Ghost from years before
I don’t feel welcome
Inside these walls anymore
as i look softly in your eyes
it leaves me dazed and hypnotized
Thoughts jut out at me like
Jagged little stones
Learned to obscure them
With some foggy undertone
Can I call this body mine
Or something I tend to?
Like a garden that
somebody used to use
well you can just relax my friend
I’m you but different
But still the same
There’s a voice that comes out sometimes
To remind you
It’s just a game
