This Way Before 04:16
lyrics
buy track
do you want to know what's going on in my head? I hope you do 'cuz so do I I think and wonder what's inside the brain machine take on the outside world when things seem repetitive remember no two days are exactly the same the little differences keep us interested in what we are doing every day because we feel we have to I've never had the same brain chemistry as I do right now everybody's cells are falling in numbers rapidly except for the infants who are growing up so slowly you think and hopefully how you want them to the little differences keep us interested in what we are doing every day because we feel we have to I've never felt this way before because I've never been right here at this exact time before and I've never thought this way before my mind's been open and closed and both at the same time I've never felt this way before I've never seen everything in exactly this light before each moment is different even if they feel the same like they've been this way before but Im back I hope you like it if I were to bare my soul would you tell me to cover it up? I've never felt this way before I've never muttered these words at this exact time before the little differences keep us interested in what we are doing every day because we feel we have to and it's been this way before

The Cave 05:14
lyrics
buy track
enter the room and then you get confused float away as if dreaming maybe you are but you still feel awake stay out of my way I'm leaning towards learning how to live my life in one piece if possible thoughts of a day spent walking around not understanding a word but I heard them all you dream you were born in a cave but now you're getting closer to the surface every day how did you get here? what have you learned on the way? that you're still in the cave this song does not exist like the tree that never fell down but is lying on its side if you don't have a favorite song maybe it's not been written yet if you enjoy something who cares what someone else might say nothing appeals to everybody but most everything will appeal to somebody we have to pick and choose and disagree on what is good the caves we dwell in knock down the wall between your minds ok and never mind forget it don't want to be like the tree that fell down without a challenge to the logging company not to slice you up and sell people the rights to live in your remains the cave is so deep constantly expanding in your mind which way is up you find out and you see the light at the end and you know where you are where you wanted to be enter the room and then you get confused float away as if dreaming maybe you are but you still feel awake stay out of my way I'm leaning towards learning how to live my life in one piece if possible thoughts of a day spent walking around not understanding a word but I heard them all you dream you were born in a cave but now you're getting closer to the surface every day how did you get here? what have you learned on the way? that you're still in the cave that you're still in the cave you're still in the cave

just because you've reached the end of the day you have to sidetrack your thoughts for a while doesn't mean you've given up you'll be back again once you've rested up it's hard to shut off the brain sometimes train of thought derailed in the morning the clean up crew arrives then you wake up at the start of the day do you remember where you were when you had to pack it up for the night? the page has turned again nothing's quite the same it'll do just fine just fine you've only started only just begun you've only started only just begun just because you've reached the end of the day you have to sidetrack your thoughts for a while doesn't mean you've given up only started only started only started only just begun
