I Don't Know
02:17
|
|||
I don’t know what to say anymore
I don’t know what to do
it doesn’t matter what’s right
there is no value in the truth
as I cruise through the headlines
sources unknown but trying
I claim I don’t care
but I know that I do
I don’t know and it doesn’t reel alright to me
I am shambling along
as we walk along
we are crawling along
going nowhere at all
I don’t know and it doesn’t feel alright to me
nowhere to turn
nowhere to go
I don’t know and it doesn’t feel alright to me
I don’t know

Not See Again
01:43
|
|||
I’m wishing I could clear
certain elements that should not be
bouncing off the street
reflecting back into my eyes
if seeing is believing
I’d rather not sometimes
wishing I could choose what to see
or not see again
I wish I could erase
certain images from my mind
so many things I wish I could hide
and not see again

Running Out of Time
03:05
|
|||
when I first thought this up
I thought it was the world I was talking about
we were trying
you were lying
now you’re running out of time
it is ending
it is gone
people are dying and soon you will be gone
now you’re running out of time
thought it was over and then I woke up
I’m glad you had your pleasant run
for most of us it was no fun
now you’re running out of time
when I first thought this up
I thought it was the world I was talking about
it was you all along
it was you all along
when will we know
Is there any way for us to know you’re gone
‘cuz you lost
you told us not to trust the news that you’re gone
that you are gone
you lost
you’re running out of time
don’t let the door hit you on your way out
you’re running out of time

Take It To the Minimum
01:52
|
|||
take it to the minimum
see where we end up
we may find out
that this has been enough to land in the zone of respectability
the zone
it’s a big one
room enough for all of us
take it to the maximum
I don’t feel like that right now
oh oh oh oh
take it to the minimum
see where we end up
oh oh oh oh
take it to the minimum
see where we end up
for today oh

You Remember for Me
01:53
|
|||
I check myself all the time
all the things floating in my mind
you remember to remind me what is real
floating away like a dream
you cannot wake from
how did it go you remember well
so many times to co-exist
we know it is worth the risk
you have my back at every turn
you remember for me
you remember for me

Won't Fail Me Now
02:44
|
|||
it looks like trouble ahead
I guess we better leave
I hope my feet won’t fail me now
my arms won’t fail me now
gonna hope my wings won’t fail me now
get out get over the wall
get out get out now
this whole thing is coming down
coming down
get out get out now
I know won’t fail me now

Imagination Overload
03:10
|
|||
I ask myself but I know this isn’t real
if I planned it out I wouldn’t know
if this is just how I feel
imagination overload
walking through the aftermath
where I don’t know
what if my life is like an abandoned space station
imagination overload
bouncing on the clouds
sitting around so leisurely
seeing surfaces not found on earth
magination overload
the crystal staircase leads into my mind
imagination overload

End of An Era
02:23
|
|||
this is not what we signed up for
if there is no truth
there is no right or wrong
show me a place we can recognize
I will say we have arrived at home
at the end of an era
it might be nice to be nice again
at the end of an era
no one’s laughing anymore
we have been gone for so long
and now it’s time for you to go away
damage left behind
we sift and sort and try to climb
out of the end of an error
we better not make again

Way Beyond
01:57
|
|||
I can see the tide coming in
I can see me fawning over you
the morning sun on your face
I believe in visions coming true
there has to be some time to free oour minds
that time is coming soon
rotate the tires
I’ve crossed the wires
driving me to fend for me and you
it brings me here to take us there
way beyond
I can see the tide coming in
I can see me fawning over you
the morning sun on your face
I believe in visions coming true

Words That Got Away
01:35
|
|||
I try to be careful with what it is I say these days
my brain is not connected today
I can’t believe what I said
I can’t believe the words that got away
brain and mouth not together
neither one takes control
I can’t believe what I said
I can’t believe the words that got away
how did they fly out?

No Advice
02:50
|
|||
lifeline one is hard to take
now it’s time to phone a friend
lifeline two is hard to follow as well
who’s gonna help me win
trying to go too fast
it’s always a race
but I can’t find the brakes
my feet are too big for the pedals
scenario two
that’s the one for us
you know that’s the one I’m looking into
and now we’re gonna get away
I’ve been looking all the time in the wrong bottle
the genie was not wrong but had no advice for me
enjoy the view
we see the snowed in hotel
and I saw you there
you know I was there as well
I’ve been looking all the time in the wrong bottle
the genie wasn’t wrong but gave no advice

Not One Day Too Long
03:08
|
|||
I never thought there would be times like these
even if I tried I could not make this up
to believe in common decency
should not be very difficult at all
I have heard it happens all the time
why don’t you take a look around
you won’t see us on the ground
but we will stay
not one day too long
we’re glad that you will stay not one day too long
I never thought there would be nights like these
try to sleep but cannot get it done
to believe in honesty
should not be remarkable at all
I have heard it happens all the time
why don’t you take a look around
you won’t see us on the ground
but we will stay
not one day too long
we’re glad that you will stay not one day too long
why don’t you take a look around

Fence of Decency
01:24
|
|||
so you think
you can lean on me
I’m not as strong
as I’m supposed to be in my mind
I try to keep all the bad forces from coming in today
oh I know they are there and so do you
leaning on the sider of decency against the fence
you will be with me on the right side of the fence of decency
after all it is all of us
after all it takes all of us

Chameleons
01:40
|
|||
I wish I knew what it was I did
hearing so many things
I’m supposed to change
chameleons underneath my skin
not telling me where to begin

Not What It Seems
02:12
|
|||
this is not what it seems
you are here with me
and this is not a dream
I’ve taken everything
I have thought for a while
I learned how to make you smile
and that is all it took
and now you’re in
welcome to my favorite scene
I hope you like what you see
these images fly off the page
and get in front of you but you know what to do
it’s over too soon
I know you wanted more
there’s always part two
you know how far you’ve gone
to the end of the line beyond
this is not what it seems
you are here with me
and this is not a dream
I’ve taken everything

Less Anxious
01:15
|
|||
why I feel the way I do
I will bet that you do too
it’s too soon
to declare we made it through not yet
I don’t even want to think about it
I don’t want to jinx myself
I’m feeling less anxious as well
you do too
we can feel it everywhere
at least for a while less anxious
why I feel the way I do
I will bet that you do too

Another World
03:22
|
|||
where do you think you are
underwater
seeing ships from below
now you see there’s another world in your head
imagine floating in another world
now you stand on the shore again
admiring liquid air with life
imagine floating in another again
imagine it’s bigger than ours
but there’s no way
to go there
there’d no way to stay for very long
don’t come up too fast
even though you’re dying for air
the wrong things are expanding
too much pressure in another world
where do you think you are
underwater
seeing ships from below
now you see there’s another world in your head
imagine floating in another world
imagine another world

To Breathe Again
02:58
|
|||
all I want is this
to breathe again
all we need is calm
don’t let it get away don’t let it get away
the future was not ours anymore
I see it fly like this
on wings we can’t see
what we see on a normal day
don’t let it get away
don’t let it get away
the future was not ours anymore
I see it fly like this
on wings we can’t see
we chase it down
that’s what we need to do
you know we do
all I want is
to breathe again
to breathe again

Today's Something
03:21
|
|||
do you ever feel
we’ve had enough
today’s something I could do without
no choice in this
we must exist to get through
today’s something I could do without
today’s something you could do without
we do what we can after all
today’s something I could do without
I wonder when we wake from this dream
will the world still be as it seems
today’s something I could do without
today’s something you could do without
we do what we can after all
today’s something I could do without
so we know where we are
today’s something we could do without

Trying Not To
00:55
|
|||
trying not to hide
trying not to think about the other side
trying not to lie
trying not to say goodbye to anyone
trying not to die
trying not to kill anyone nearby
waiting to get on
trying not to do so many things
