For My Life
03:30
|
|||
I saw something that gave me the creeps
Your clipboard freaks me out
Sign on the line why should I sign?
When it all gets out of hand
I am aware of free speech
Its limitations speak to me
Your news not fake news
But either is my day
My life
For my life
For paisley and houndstooth
I breathe
I see
I am
I live
Hoping for the best why not
For my life
For your life

Forest Of Time
02:20
|
|||
Whenever I walk into the forest of time
I end up getting lost right away
And then I go out onto the sand
It's blowing by and I wonder where I am
I wake up to find I forgot the day
Here in the forest it won't matter anyway
As I'm walking by it draws me in
Mere seconds later I am lost again
Walking in a circle
For no one knows how long
In the forest of time no one sees the sun
But no one wants to run
Whenever I walk into the forest of time
I end up getting lost and here I stay

Another Reason To Doubt
01:44
|
|||
I wonder what it was I didn't learn ahead of time
Today would be nothing but a bad state of mind
I had to wonder what it was I would do
Seems like nothing is getting through
How can I sympathize
With so many lies?
No warning
Another reason to doubt
No warning
Another reason to doubt

Trip To The Moon
02:32
|
|||
I want a trip to the moon
Which one would I choose?
You know Jupiter has moons
I can see them in my telescope
I imagine in my head
I want to join the lottery
To win a trip to the moon
I want a trip to the moon
It's never too soon
I want a trip to the moon
I want to go to the moon
Too much gravity has got me down
I want a trip to the moon

Overlords
01:35
|
|||
They're looking down at us
We're looking up at them
We don't know what's going on
Or when it will start
The overlords are coming down
They are here
It's already begun
I can feel the doom affecting everyone
Our ruin is among us
Hope will not be found
The overlords are fitting in
You can see the evil grin
The overlords are here

Surface Of Nothing
04:24
|
|||
When I am down
I know you are on my side
It brings me back to know
Why I'm alive
At the surface
I am on my knees
I'm beginning to think I need to rise
I find myself running on a surface of nothing
When I was up
It was you that brought me luck
But I don't think the streak is gone
I find myself running on a surface of nothing
I've been all around
Kicked a bunch of ground
I am here to say there's more to do
So that I will do
So that I will do
So that I will do
So that I will do
When I am down I know you are on my side
It brings me back to know
Why I'm alive
I find myself running on a surface of nothing

Seems So Far Away
03:11
|
|||
Seems so far away
To get back above the ground
And it's hard to imagine
Being so far down
A crack above
Saving someone you love
Seems so far away
When you're down
Seems so far away
To get back
Seems so far away
Flying high again
A crack above
Taking away someone you love
No
Seems so far away
Seems so far away

They Think It's Alright
03:33
|
|||
They keep on talking
About all the things we don't need
With plans to take them all away
They say we can live without them
But we don't have to
Our voices will be heard either way
And they think that it's alright
The wrong idea is that we won't fight
No lying down on the job that never end
This is the message we send
All the things we work for
Live a decent live that's fine
Robbing from the blind so they can see
And live the dream
We know it's a nightmare coming true
And they think that it's alright
The mistake made is there be a fight
And there will

9. |
||||
I am being quiet 'cuz I'm so freaked out
About what's coming up
It's a science fiction nightmare
And I'm losing out again
Two heads sticking out at once
When I look in the mirror
Am I real am I gone have I moved on but to where
It's a science fiction nightmare
Let it stop
Wake me up
Seen too much
Read too many books
With crazy images or not
We never know if what's real is real what if it's not
It's a science fiction nightmare
And I'm not ready for bed
It's a science fiction
Have I lost my head?
Let me out
Wake me up
Make it stop
Let me go
Go away
Let me go
Go away
Wake me up
Let it go
Make it stop
Go away
Make it stop

Ever Changing Time
02:09
|
|||
Time goes by
So slowly when I'm not feeling right
This is not something I would want
And not what I would plan
And time goes by
So quickly when I am having fun
Ever changing time
Ever changing time

Incidental Breakthrough
03:24
|
|||
Snaking through the laundry list
Of incidental breakthroughs
And I find myself in the break room
The door is a jar
But we know it is not
It's open that's enough for me
Incidental breakthrough again
Incidental breakthrough again

Is It Real?
02:30
|
|||
I look out the window at the train stop like always
It seems different
And I had to think it was all fake
I didn't pay my admission to the theme park today
It's so perfect but too strange to be real
Is it real?
Who changed our world
This one can't be real
I'm not getting out to find out
That the grass has been replaced
With the same from outer space
Is it real?
Is it real?

No Need To Say Goodbye
02:12
|
|||
Wouldn't it be nice
If my time and your time were one
We could do anything at all
It's so easy if my time was your time was your time as well
We would find no need to say goodbye
No need to say goodbye
Wouldn't it be nice
If we had time for everything
Widening our time
There would be more we want to do
Would find no need to say goodbye
No need to say goodbye

Robots Never Sleep
02:14
|
|||
Robots never sleep
And I wish they would
Robots never sleep
They're looking over us
They want to know
When we change our ways
They do the research when we cannot fight
Standing around
With nothing to do
Robots never sleep
Robots never sleep
They might as well have a good look at us
Robots never sleep
And I wish they would

What I Can't Control
02:41
|
|||
I'm thinking about times
That only I would know
I try to take my mind
Only where it wants to go
In control
Impossible
Honestly I know what I can't control
I remember the days
Getting lost around town
Fumbling around
I found the keys almost too late
In control
Impossible
Honestly I know what I can't control

All These Words
03:23
|
|||
If you tell me I won't figure it out
Then you're telling me I must figure it out
And I will let you know if I care to
At the time that I am through
If you tell me I might I will say that I can't
And you know that I will either way
I'm not gonna tell you
That I'm thick in the head
And I won't give now that I'm sick in the head
I won't drive myself insane to prove that it's true
It's all part of the plan understand
And I'm standing around I was trying I was trying to cut through
I was trying to talk to myself
And then I realized that I can't hear myself
I went back to the source
And I found a short had happened in my mind
Now I'm trying to get away
From what it is you know I cannot say
Searching for the high ground
But the high ground's in the way
It doesn't matter if it's day or night
Instinct kicks in fight or flight
I would fly if I could and I would
To take the air and make it mine
All these words don't make it mine
All these words don't make it mine

Faking Myself Out
03:00
|
|||
Looking far looking wide
A clue flew by
Faking myself out
How would I know?
This is the time
Try to see what's left in mind
But a light goes off
And in the dark I fall
Faking myself out
How would I know?
I've said that before
I don't need to wonder where my soul is
I hope it's not hard to find
Faking myself out
How would I know?
You won't see me at all
There's no one around
Faking myself out
How would I know?

Too Many Questions
02:59
|
|||
Have you ever had
I know I've had one of those days
One of those
I know I lived through
I survived
One of those nights
Wasn't right
Took too long
I took too long
I took too long to get it right
Who is that sitting over there
I remember but not quite
Is it me?
Searching on the salt flats
Trying to get the last place back
Back to where it belongs
Too many questions
I'm moving on
Too many questions
To answer all at once

Would I Know?
02:19
|
|||
Weird thoughts coming in
From where I don't know
I've been thinking but my mind isn't in it
I've been listening but my ears can't hear
I've been living have I
I've been seeing but it's not clear at all
How would I know?
Would I know?
What there is would I know?
What I'm supposed to see
Would I know?
Would I know?
How would I know?
Would I know?
What there is that I'm supposed to see after all
