The Right Thing
03:37

sometimes you fear you won't do the right thing
you won't do anything at all
at all

sometimes you fear you won't say the right thing
you won't say anything at all
at all

anything for you
anything at all
sometimes you fear you won't say the right thing
you won't say anything at all

Theater Curtains
02:56
|
|||
sleep comes down at the end of the day
the theater curtains open wide
your fears and fantasies play out inside your mind
but could not come true on the outside
that's what you're supposed to think
we are all trained to have limits
when conceiving what's possible
limits imposed by yourself
we can always negotiate
you're getting closer to what you don't know
sleep comes and pulls the curtain down
life takes on a new dimension
created by parts of the mind we can't explain
and then you wake up and look around
the movie's getting out now
it's over and you get back to your life
brain domain
outside inside maybe inside
sleep the end of a dream depends on how your life is
always much clearer and far more intense
and I like it
because there are more senses to explore
close your eyes relax
and let the theater curtains open wide

Strange One
02:10
|
|||
imagination
reality
you can see whatever you want
dreaming when you're awake
it seems there is no in between
people brag about how much they own
earn and care about everybody else
they don't say what they believe
they don't care what you believe
I'm an information sponge
please satay away
you want to learn about life
how it is or how to pass it by
others below you
there will always be those above you
you're not chasing them
it's a strange way to live your life
you're a strange one trying to find the time
strange because you are still trying
they call it life but you don't have time for living anymore
assumptions have been made about your inability
to make ends meet
to make ends meet without signing away your life
you're a strange one
trying to find the time
it's gone for now but you will find it once again
it's over but you will find it once again

The Latest
02:20
|
|||
the latest is not the greatest so you try to top the past
looking back in time
done that before
your latest is not always your greatest so you try and top yourself
tell the truth always
you're a liar
the latest is here
what if it's not the best you fear
but no one thinks twice
no on does everything the way you do
the way you do
the latest is not the greatest so you try to top the past
here it comes

Sea Org
01:54
|
|||
you brought me in to take your little test
I should have known I'd have to
pay for the rest of my life
way more
a billion years and then you claim I can go
it's Mother's Day
I thought I'd give her a call
she doesn't know where I am
or if I'm alive at all
silence and darkness make me clear
empty my wallet
keep mer here
another level
I have one you can go to
it's called hell and I'm in it
I can't take it anymore
you brought me in to take your little test
I should have know you would take my life away from me

Not Far Away
03:15
|
|||
if you think there's a cloud above you
remember there are always those thinking of you
distance is not important
the message can be sent subconsciously
and you're not far away
reaching further every day
when you feel your focus fading
gather from the strength of those who support you
they might not have seen you in a while
they might not have told you lately
what they think of your efforts
and you're not far away
drifting not out of touch
we all feel sometimes far away
the world is getting smaller
so is yours
you let yourself down again
but they know you're up to your life
get to where you need to be
you don't know where that is
no one else does
and you're not far away
everyone is sometimes far away
if you think there's a cloud above you
remember there are always those thinking of you
they're not as far away as you think
not far away

Weird Day
02:13
|
|||
get up in the morning
but it didn't feel the same
things happen for a reason you say but this is a weird day
got to leave early
after wishing to go
things happen for a reason you say but this is a weird day
the weird day is over
the weird day is over

How We Are
02:22
|
|||
I woke up feeling high
the words that leave your mouth were sounding strange
I dust off and follow through
pick my spirit off the roof and try to fly
falling down
through the maze
see the focus in my mind slide down the hall
free time
frozen porch
I still can't tell you
how we are
I think I wanna know
how we are
reaching overload
it's not our fault
it's not our fault
the real state of the page
the book we're reading from is beaten down
through the rage
the firestorm
finally burnt the store front after all
concrete torn up
I walk through the salad of my thoughts
coming back alright
I still can't tell you
how we are
I think I wanna know
how we are
reaching overload
it's not our fault

Full Moon
01:48
|
|||
the priest behind the wheel is not forgiven
everything we do is do or die
we factor in the foolishness of pigeons
oh great there's a full moon tonight
I think I know I hope is going to fly
the windshield of your dreams is not hidden
we always try to brush the dirt aside
oh great there's a full moon tonight
it's filling up
past the top
I received my number for my slice of pie
it's not the kind I want but it will do
then I realize there's a full moon tonight
it's filling up
past the top
it's turning orange
it's blowing up
now I can get the energy I needed
to put the power chain up in the sky
and then I realize there's a full moon tonight

Come Alive
04:27
|
|||
some people think the world revolves around them
we should not have to explain it isn't so
the center of attention
pay attention to yourself
who could be important
you're not like everybody else
there's only one who inhabits your mind
and deserves to live well just because
that's the way it's always been for you
always so comfortable
come alive
something will hit you and you'll realize you've come alive
and billions of people live worse than you
but you thank them
as you see what you've got
you've come alive
and you see things the way they really are
it's all so clear
we are all a part of a powerful machine
we need to learn to control one day
some people think the world revolves around them
we should not have to explain it isn't so
the center of attention
pay attention to yourself
who could be more important
you're not like everybody else
come alive
something will hit you
and you'll realize you've come alive

For A Day
04:09
|
|||
I can see right through your smile
I can see behind your eyes
you can have me for a while
you can cut right through my gaze
you can have me for a day
you can have me for more than a day
I'm not as tired as I feel
so many faces what is real
you cut through my outside shell
made of imaginary steel
you can have me for a day
you can have me for more than a day
I often wonder why
some things they leave me flat
looking for the island hoping never to turn back
the keys they fit inside a lock it seems I cannot find
I brew a pot of energy
from it I cannot hide
I'm on your side
I'm on yours
you're on my mind
I want you to slip inside
I can see right through your smile
I can see behind your eyes
you cut through my outside shell
made of imaginary steel
you can have me for a day
you can have me for more than a day

As Of Yet
02:24
|
|||
I've seen things I can't explain
I've seen windows inside my head
and now what
now what do I do with that
now what
now what do I do with that
I can't hide
I can't run from anything quite yet
I can't hide
I can't run from anything quite yet
as of yet I haven't seen a flying car
flying far is all I need
as of yet
as of yet
now what do I do with that
now what
now what do I do with that
I can't hide
I can't run from anything quite yet
I can't hide
I can't run from anything quite yet
as of yet I haven't seen a flying car
flying far is all I need
I saw the place
I wouldn't hide from
I saw the wonderful world
I could not hide from
as of yet
now what
now what do I do with that this time?

Always Something
02:34
|
|||
you feel you're coming along
with your potential
catch it if you're strong
people leave things for bait and you take them
all of a sudden you're the criminal
there is no pass or fail with sanity
you're always somewhere in between a little crazy
there's always something
there's always something to take
buzzards hear the buzz new product new sound
pick on the originator to steal the idea
where's the surprise?
where's the surprise?
as they pick you dry
there's always something
there's always something to take
there's always something for free
you feel you're coming along
on a treadmill
walking faster
treading water in a salt water pool of your own creation
people take what they can not what they need
there's always something to take
