All At Once
02:35
|

I need to get a grip
when I feel like I am losing it
even if I had one I wouldn't be using it
I pull the brakes and I'm not slowing down
run myself ragged on the ground
all at once
I make mistakes and for those I should pay
so much coming at us on an average day
all at once
sensations overloaded
my mind is reeling
leaving life behind
but I know that I've been feeling it even if everything happens
all at once
I see ahead
things are flying at me
I look behind to see the past derail
free flowing ever going faster and faster
it's all blowing up not quite a disaster
I turn around to see what's gone
try to change to a different song in my mind
has seen too much but never enough and that's rough
there's too much and nothing in between
all at once
we see too much
all at once
it seems to me
all at once
all at once

No Other Way
02:20

not much difference in my head
I might as well recall
anything that comes to mind at all
there are many choices but for me there is no other way
nothing screams at me to take another route
nothing left to find I'm running out
more to explore
for me there is no other way
try to find something
for me there is
there is no other way
this is what we wanted
this is what we need
what we get is not guaranteed
when it's done we will know everything along with the truth
not much difference in my head
I might as well recall
anything that comes to mind at all
there are many choices but for me there is no other way

How We Live Today
03:05
|
|||
I've been around for a while
not much to say about
what's coming up
how we live today
no need to compromise
to see through other eyes would change my mind
we all will see there's no way to avoid
what's coming up
how we live
how we live today
I'm just glad to be here
how we live today
carry on we try we try to do
how we live today
how we live
how we live today
we hope this is as far as it goes
how we live today

Back On Shore
02:00
|
|||
they say a taste of adventure is good for the soul
there's always a limit
when what is fun is out of control
we try to laugh like always
even though it's getting hairy on the sea today
the walls of the ocean are coming in
as far as I can see in the distance
I'd like to get out to live another day
back on shore
where we ought to be
back on share I know you'll wait for me to be around

Please Come Find Me
02:33
|
|||
when I walked away
I was so sure I knew where to go
because I don't need any help at all
I see things I don't recognize I'm lost
please come find me
I don't know where I am
where did I go wrong to end up lost?
when I took my leave
I thought I had everything I needed
it didn't matter that I had no plan
please come find me
I don't know where I am

Beautiful Morning
03:32
|
|||
it's a beautiful morning
we have another day
we live we live again
I saw this in my dream
it is my favorite one
it's a beautiful day
after the morning we had
it's a beautiful morning
I'm glad we have another day
another day

Evil Comes In Many Forms
03:34
|
|||
it's hard to recognize
it slips right past our eyes
floating in between
all that we see may not be
evil comes in many forms
out for a walk
find out if it can talk
not surprised to hear
they'll try to talk to you
we listen we are doomed
evil comes in many forms
steam flying in infecting what it can
gets to us where we can't see
they spray it on the roof
keep our pajamas fire proof
evil comes in many forms
we won't see if it's too late
we won't believe at all
it's hard to recognize or to realize
evil comes in many forms
evil comes in many forms
demons on the ground
we can see them everywhere
I will tell you a different story now
one to clear this up but not to cheer me up

Only Joking
02:32
|
|||
I told you we would make this right
we have barely begun the fight
we're going to make us great again
after I make us all scared again
but I was only joking
I yelled all about how I would be with you the whole way
to right the wrong
and I left you out to dry
you have trusted me for too long 'cuz I was only joking
I was only joking when I said I don't lie
I was only joking 'cuz it happens all the time
you will never catch me
I'm a wily orange fox
I'm about as clever as a bag of rocks
to tell the truth I lie all the time
I'm only joking

Leaving Time Behind
03:16
|
|||
I invented a machine
come in and take a look
it will take us far away
away in time
go anywhere
see how it was or will be
leaving time behind
wouldn't that be nice
wouldn't that be nice
I had a dream
that was not mine
it landed in my head from another time
I see another view
another dizzy view
for all to see
how could that be
go anywhere
see how it was or will be
leaving time behind
wouldn't that be nice
wouldn't that be nice
leaving time behind
wouldn't that be nice
wouldn't that be nice
I had a dream that floated in from another time
we always return again
leaving time behind when we can

Here We Go Again
02:56
|
|||
why would you think I'm cheating
I always win
when I lose there must be something wrong
the game has changed
under the circumstances
what do you want to do
I keep on wondering aloud
once again why not
here we go again
a different means to the same end
shaking my fist
yelling at the stars
liars and cheaters will lie again
and will do so in the same bed
and sleep fine - like I do
leaving things untouched may not be enough
I keep on wondering what it is I found
once again why not
here we go again
here we go again
once again why not
will it ever end?

As It Disappears
03:01
|
|||
I hear the sound as it disappears
they laugh at me and they run away
I thought I had a way to explain my role
it figured me out on its own
I feel the rumble from underneath the ground
how could it always make me feel how I do right now
I don't want to be that way
even if I could
I don't want to feel out of control
I see the noise as it disappears
I run to try to hear a little more
I hear the sound as it disappears
they laugh at me and they run away
I don't want to be that way
even if I could
I don't want to feel out of control

Glad for My Life
03:02
|
|||
in times uncertain
I'm glad for my life
to wake up in the morning
hey that's alright
so many things are left for another day
I hope everyone pulls through in their own way
I kick myself
what else can I do
to wake me up
prove I'm still alive
hold your loved ones close
tell them that you care
I'm not the best example of this
I am aware
so many things to deal with every day
I hope everyone pulls through in their own way
in times uncertain
I'm glad for my life
to wake up in the morning
and find I'm still alive
glad for my life

Busted and Broken
03:01
|
|||
you asked me exactly
what was wrong
I tried to tell the truth like everyone
so much going on all the time
nothing left to hide behind
is that so wrong
what else is there left for us to find
that we're busted and broken
more of this is more than I can take
we're feeling busted and broken
we will find a way to go beyond
we will find we have so much to give rather than be busted
and broken
more of this is more than I can take
nothing left to hide behind is that so wrong
what else is there left for us to find
the sensibility has all but worn off
now I'm feeling busted and broken
busted and broke again

My Whole Life
02:23
|
|||
clinging on to me
won't bring the fire down
I always try to keep my part of the deal
if circumstances are keeping me astray
doesn't mean that I'm not here
fired up and taking names
I am on the go
nowhere is the place to be
I try to be happy where I am
I have been this way my whole life
my whole life is here
take it home
it's here for you
