Walking Alone
01:56
|
|||
filling space in my life
and time somehow
I can find my way
for now I have to wait
walking alone and I'm standing far away from everyone
I'm walking alone remembering these days
I can find my way
for now I have to wait
walking alone
standing far away from everyone in these crazy days
I am walking alone

Why Not?
02:32
|
|||
I wish that I could be oblivious
and never have to hear anything at all
too much levitating
as we try to hide
it won't work
I wish there was a sign
shielding myself I can try
still I have to ask
why not? why not?
the shortest distance is a straight line
I wish it was farther to my mind
why not? why not?

To Make It Go Away
02:42
|
|||
I did everything I could to break the rules
now everything we fear is coming true
inject the bleach to kill the virus
and then I drink too much to kill the pain
to make it go away
to make it go away
to make it go away
we think that we are so smart
but we don't even know where to start
to make it go away
to make it go away
to make it go away
doing what we do may not be enough
I kick myself I'm not so tough
if the end justifies the means
we will spin our wheels to do what we need
to make it go away
to make it go away
to make it go away
inject the bleach to kill the virus
and then I drink too much to kill the pain
to make it go away

Before The Vision
03:21
|
|||
I am seeing something
seem so far away to me when I go looking all I know is
before the vision there was a dream
above the photo that was never there and never seen
do you remember this?
do you remember that?
what if what I'm seeing isn't real at all?
I'm looking for something
a better state of mind to be
where I am right now but I know
before the vision there was a dream
above the photo that was never there and never seen
do you remember this?
do you remember that?
do you remember anything from far away?
before the vision I have never seen you are

Over Me
01:59
|
|||
It's nice to believe we're in control
everything is over me over me
I try to believe a little at a time
it is over me over me
I can see here on the ground
it's far above
I like to fantasize that everything will be as it was or will be again
It's nice to believe we have control
but we don't no not at all
I can see a different time
anytime other than this one
on the ground we see what's going on
it's far above
it's nice to believe we're in control
everything is over me over me
larger than life
weirder than death
over me

Can't Have It Both Ways
02:40
|
|||
I want the sun to shine
and then I want it to rain
I want to know I'm alive
but I don't want to feel the pain
I want to sleep in my bed
I need everything but I swear it's not a lot
can't have it both ways
we wonder why not
it's open and shut case
can't have it both ways

Outer Space Friends
03:10
|
|||
the moon and the stars always disappear
they should know we need them here
I can take the sun as it drifts away
I can see it in my dreams
the future is farther than ever right now
that's how it seems to me
the comets and asteroids I can't see but I believe
they are here with us to entertain us or leave us be
galaxies nebulas
they are all our friends
outer space friends
outer space friends of ours
outer space friends
outer space friends
they are our friends
they don't hurt us
outer space friends
maybe they can help us instead
outer space friends
outer space friends of ours

Virus From Hell
03:10
|
|||
I answered the phone today
the red one down the hall
I heard a voice of a certain demon we all know
he says to me on the call
that virus is from hell and I should know it
but I didn't bring it here with me
virus from hell let me destroy it
the universe is all of ours and I want to join the team
you see I'm not invested in any of your medicines
it's not up to me to decide who lives or who dies
science and technology
not enough for me
not a part of ancient history
I want to join your team only to defeat
the virus from hell
virus from hell
your earthly religions may not do it
to defeat this devil you're getting to know
this virus is from hell and I should know it
but I didn't bring it here with me to kill and ruin you
virus from hell let me destroy it
the universe is all of ours and I want to join the team
to defeat the virus from hell
the virus from hell

To Get Out Of My Cave
04:55
|
|||
floating above
flying around
trying to find a life on the ground that I want to see eventually
the future surrounds with confusion
on the next thing
that's more than I can say
it's all I can do to get out of my cave
sending my signal far above to the antenna
no reception anywhere at all
signal receiving
all the sound is bouncing around
sending me back into hiding again
the future surrounds us with confusion
and even more confusion reigns
on the next thing
that's more than I can say
it's all I can do to get out of my cave
don't want to see anyone
I trust no one
but I have to
to get out or my cave

Trouble
02:03
|
|||
trouble ahead
there was trouble in the past
and there will be trouble when we're dead
we can see it everywhere
trouble not hard to find
wish we could leave you behind
you can hide from us for a while
trouble again
trouble ahead
leave us for a while
trouble behind
trouble ahead
trouble all the time
trouble

Storm Goddess
01:57
|
|||
I find myself welcoming the symphony of the boat
sailing through the garden with you onboard
delirious with power
elaborate and raw
flooding the highway
deeper by the hour
storm goddess how we've missed you
a vision in blue
where are you?
we have a weakness for your rainy dream
the gift of water please return to us
elaborate and raw
flooding the highway
deeper by the hour
storm goddess how we've missed you
a vision in blue
where are you?

A Normal Life
00:52
|
|||
wouldn't it be nice to get back to a normal life?
wouldn't it be nice if we could all start over?
wouldn't it be nice to get back to a normal life?
I won't mind to get back to a normal life
a normal life

All I Want Is To Know
01:40
|
|||
I look around and I see shadows
I wonder what was left behind
a ghost or a spirit something floating
was it all in my mind?
feelings with no reason fail to find anything
feels strange to sense a presence and find nothing visibly
all I want is to know
what it is and why it won't let me go
visiting a strange house
a spirit keeps clanging around
feeling frightened maybe it will help me
to get a grip on what is happening right now
all I want is to know
what it is and why it won't let me go

Hearing Things
01:44
|
|||
hearing things every day
I don't want to know about but I have to either way
all these times questioning my mind
can't you see the enemy is me and you
getting answers to questions I don't ask
always hearing too much
always in the line of fire
where we are is so surreal
I can't complain to be alive
all these times questioning my mind
can't you see the enemy is me and you
getting answers to questions I don't ask
always hearing too much
hearing things every day
I don't want to know about

See It Through
02:12
|
|||
imagine a place we could hide away
I can see it as well as we hide away
we will see it through
no matter what we do
we will see it through
I can see it's not far away but it seems so distant in my mind
we will see it through
we will see it through

So It Goes
02:34
|
|||
I never thought I'd see time stand still
I could live a hundred years but I doubt I will
everything seems frozen as the days go by
life is a circle so it goes
so it goes
all the birds that can should fly away
because they can no need to stay
no need at all
so it goes
so they go I know
I wish I could fly as well
fly away far away
so it goes so it goes
don't we all know
we all know so it goes
I'd never thought I'd see time stand still
|

17. |
||||
free your mind and your mind will follow you home
I try to take mine everywhere
sometimes it needs to roam
let it off the leash once in a while
it'll find its way home
my mind likes to run away
there's no hurry
free your mind and your mind will follow you home
I try to take mine everywhere
free your mind and your mind will follow

Intensity
03:25
|
|||
I think of all the ways I've tried so hard
and all the same it works
I kick myself why do I get so hurt when things don't work out
intensity get away from me
intensity let me go
I need a new reality
maybe you can teach me
I tie myself in knots for all to see the twisted ruins of my mind
I ask myself why I can't let go and why this has to be
intensity get away from me
intensity let me go
I can't see any other way these days it seems
I tell myself this is not so
there is no way that this can be
I look around and avoid everything
what am I trying not to see?
all the intensity
