Not Enough
03:31
|
|||
what we have is failure to agree
pre-dated all before because we will all be gone
avoiding and devouring on a plastic string
a fraction of a fraction of a second in your time is
not enough
but you don't have to care
there is no way for that to be
you will tell us when our time is up
avoiding and devouring on a plastic string
you say it's nice to know us
but all of this is
not enough
so many questions
we should have asked
and you wonder how far will we go
we don't know
we don't know
there will come a time
this is true
if we do we won't stay long
for you we'll be gone and you'll be strong
for us it was always
not enough

Outside Myself
02:45
|
|||
when I find I need to describe myself
I wonder how it would be on the outside looking in
how would I know if I'm right or wrong
it's easy to disagree
but I will tell you all I can
would that be it all?
would that be enough for now
will it unfold at once
and will I know?
any time I try to embolden my life
the end game result is not clear to me
the answer is not revealed
but I will tell you all I can
would that be it all?
would that be enough for now
will it unfold at once
and will I know?
I wish I could be outside myself
wishing to see from far away
outside myself
outside myself
outside myself

You're the Worst
02:40
|
|||
I saw you stealing from the charity jar
so I know
there is no low to which you won't go
oh no
there must be a reason but I find out there is not
I would give you a break but I have done all I can
no way to explain it
you're the worst
I tried and I tried
and I lied and I lied
it's all a futile exercise
you're the worst
I've seen bad
I've seen worse
so many good people land in a hearse
but you
you're the worst
it might be legal
doesn't make it right
most of us are just tired of the fight
just because you get away with it
not alright
I would give you a break but it won't make it right
no way to explain it
you're the worst
I tried and I tried
and I lied and I lied
it's all a futile exercise
you're the worst
you're the worst
you are the worst

If Not for You
02:22
|
|||
it is true
I find myself
in a different way
seeming in everything
if not for you
where would I be
if not for you
what would I be doing right now
I could be sitting on the couch
dreaming as my days are slipping away
I am glad
to be here with you
I am glad right now
if not for you
where would I be
if not for you
whoa oh
if not for you
whoa oh
there's only me

Everyone and Everything
03:24
|
|||
they told me it was going to rain
and I only saw the ice and snow
what is it that makes me recall
not what I want
but what I can
I will take it
it's better than nothing at all
the frozen river still must thaw one day
I know what I saw when I opened the door to your heart
I know what I fear when I close it again
on everyone and everything
I find I am awake in my dreams
and no one seems
to know why
we drift away every day
along with everyone and everything
the frozen river still must thaw one day
I know what I saw when I opened the door to your heart
I know what I fear when I close it again
on everyone and everything
they told me it was going to rain
nobody mentioned the flood
these days we may be in for a change
like everyone and everything

Too Much Untold
02:05
|
|||
too much
not bold enough
what is there to unfold
I'll tell you a story
one that I stole
about the time I was in control
too much to unfold
too much untold
you want to know my history
the one that I wrote
it's not that far from real
so I've told
too much to unfold
too much untold
if I were to tell it all
the audience might run like hell
too much untold
you've heard that before

Looking Beyond
03:07
|
|||
looking beyond
I set my phasers on stun
waiting and watching
I know you want to get on board
flying further than ever before
I see the bunker far away
all for one
looking beyond
I see the sun

Screaming Into the Wind
02:16
|
|||
I'm screaming into wind
knowing it will fade
I'm yelling into the air
and I don't care
I might tell you a story
there's a chance it might be true
or it might be a tale a tall one telling me what to do
here goes
I'm screaming into the future
silent about the past
a wise idea once
easily goes by
it goes by and I don't care
knowing this will fade into the air
and I don't because
I feel better today

Without A Net
03:15
|
|||
I'm gonna cut through the wind and rain
I need to see what remains
and I'm running
without a net
too many things cover me yet
without a net
I might fall
and I'm not sure I care after all
I'm going to trim all the weeds
when they're in the way
no one call tell me
everything's okay
no hiding from anything at all
without a net
I might fall
and I'm not sure I care after all
gonna slice the undergrowth
to see what survives
all we see
everything it's all alive
it's all alive
without a net
I might fall
and I'm not sure I care after all
I know I'm gonna find out what is left

Sift Through the Lies
04:09
|
|||
the loudest voice prevails
the greatest noise will win
the worst burn will singe
and my nose burns
you think I haven't heard about
all the things I should have learned
I put my ear to the ground and try
sift through the lies
sift through the lies
the yelling has returned
and my ear still hurts
my brain feels worse
and my nose it burns
you think I haven't heard about
all the things I should have learned
I put my ear to the ground and try
sift through the lies
sift through the lies
the loudest voice prevails
the greatest noise will win
and my ear still hurts
my brain feels the worst
we do the best we can
you think I haven't heard about
all the things I should have learned
I put my ear to the ground and try
sift through the lies
realize
the yelling has returned
my brain feels the worst
sift through the lies

Sift Through the Version
03:24
|
|||
the yelling has returned
and my ear still hurts
my brains feels worse
the loudest voice prevails
you think I haven't heard
put my ear to the ground and try
sift through the lies
sift through the lies
realize all the lies
the yelling has returned
and my ear still hurts
you think I haven't learned
put my ear to the ground and try
sift through the lies
sift through the lies
sift through the lies
sift through the lies
realize the lies
sift through the lies
sift

why can't I try all the games as I please
M & M's and Reese's Pieces yes indeed
I'm wishing I could just take this back
so much fun when it's all combined
I wish I could have my intentions back
but there's no clowning around with a sticky snack
there are so many places that I'd like to be
no more candy at the toy store
no more candy at the toy store
why can't I have some more
no more candy at the toy store
I'm getting sleepy now I need some more
I was enjoying Space Invaders
didn't mean to gum it up with my Now and Laters
no more candy at the toy store
so much fun when it's all combined
but there's no clowning around with a sticky snack
there is no other place that I'd rather be
this place really agrees with me
no more candy at the toy store

Garden of My Mind
04:02
|
|||
I walk through the garden of my mind
and I'm wondering what I will find
my mente sigue pensando
solamente de vez en cuando
mis canciones estoy grabando
siempre estoy trabajando
cada dia pasa lo mismo
aqui estoy nada mucho
pienso que voy a ganar per nunca pasa asi
sifting through the garden of my mind
the sands of time doing fine
otro dia sin compromiso
estoy aqui haciendo lo mismo
muchas veces estoy cansado
desarollando y tratando
crear algo que permanece
precisamente lo que yo hago
imagino todo es verdad
y es la vida mia pero
I walk through the garden of my mind
so many beautiful flowers of all kinds abound
traveling through the regions of my mind
you'll never know what I will find
yo pago la multa con dinero
nada mejor que efectivo
pagando todo que yo debo
a la misma vez estoy viviendo
sobre todo disfrutando
todo que puedo
yo se cual es la vida mia
que yo imagino pero
I walk through the garden of my mind
so many things I might find
garden's always growing in my mind ...

Eye on the Prize
03:10
|
|||
I've got my eye on the prize
it took me so long to realize
it was always in my head
how should I have known
I won it as far as I know
as far as I know I did
I've my eye on the prize
but much to my surprise
it slipped away as it will do
I found it in the other room
I found it there was nothing I could do
to give it for myself
I've got my eye on the prize
took me so long to realize
it doesn't matter what was said
it doesn't matter what I read
it was never mine either way
but I won't go away
no I won't look away
I won't go away

Embers on the Sand
02:57
|
|||
here we are
making common sense out of nonsense
questioning all we know
there is a rule one we try to find
there is no way to leave it
it's all we know
all I see
all we hear
blows away like embers on the sand
there is no sympathy
so much agony
we all must see right now
but I found a way to share it with you
there are so many things we can do
find it in yourself
I find it in myself
usually it happens out of view
whoa oh oh whoa oh oh
it blows away like embers on the sand
whoa oh whoa oh oh
they blow away like embers on the sand
burning everything
catching fire
far away as they soar
here we are
|

Embers on the Dub
05:15
|
|||
here we are
making common sense out of nothing
like embers on the sand
there is a rule
one we try to find
whoa here we are
making common sense
all we know
here we are
all we know
I will find a way
embers on the sand
floats away
embers on the sand
here we are
making common sense out of nothing
far away
like embers on the sand
here we are
here we are out of nothing
like embers on the sand

As It Is
04:56
|
|||
with all of life out of touch
we can always complain
if I choose to but I'd rather not
free to see
what I want if I can
as it is
or will be
bad ideas all around
I see the situations of all the things that go wrong
I walk around the evidence
and wonder how I fell down
still I see
I want to see
as it is
as it is
I think I found a better time
as it is
and seems to be
a better time I can find
no need to hide
I've found a way to free my head
I see around find my way
I hope I see
as it should be
as it should be
as it is
as it is
I think I've found
as it is
or it will be
as it is
seems to be
a better time

Beyond Our Control
02:03
|
|||
you think you're falling apart
well I hope you're wrong
you know the world is coming apart
that much might be true
it's kind of hard when all the chaos is out or reach
it's too far we fear it is beyond our control
no way to let it go is it
beyond our control
that's how it seems to be
as we try to dream
how did I wake up that way
the chaos out of reach
beyond our control
no way to let it go is it
beyond our control
that's how it seems to be
when I think it's falling apart
maybe I blew a fuse or two
I can't explain how things ended up this way at all

As One
03:27
|
|||
I am in you
and you are in me
we could be as one
we should be as one
we have reached the end
we are as one
we are as one
as one
we are as one as one
