Survival
03:15
|
|||
Been messing up a lot lately, this world is making me crazy
I've got a hard on for this business of Survival, and I won't bother you, no I am not your rival
tell you what I'm thinking, won't you help me out, 'cause the ship I'm in is sinking and I really could use a hand out
I'm sleeping baby don't wake me, I'm dreaming sugar don't shake me

I don't want to miss a minute of the fall of modern civilization
although we're not really sure if this is life or just a good simulation
the last to leave turn out the lights and let out the dog
the last to leave pour some water on those burning logs
do you have a minute to hear the good word about where we're going
for everything we gotta give up
don't you know that there's another life growing
just when it seems things can't get worse they always do
but I believe we gotta give it up and start anew
there's another one coming, there's another one coming
in the beginning we were spinning, trying to win and living in competition
we evolve enough to understand
that life aint just about acquisition
the radio is playing beats to wake the dead
but they don't know it's putting messages in our head
it's not hard to be afraid today
and to believe that it's the world burning
'cause we think so much of ourselves
that we believe that we made this world turning
in my younger days I lived with bare feet on the ground
when I misbehaved I felt the lightning blow me down

Blind Spot
03:08
|
|||
we've been around for long enough
we think we're cool, we think we're tough
we've got some style, we've got some moves
we're not just anybody
the thunder rumbles lightning crash
my idols splinter turn to ash
how many checkpoints left to pass, but something's kind of funny
can you check my blind spot for me
all the traffic I cannot see
don't wanna get wrapped around that tree
I know enough to know that I don't know anything
I love it that you hang around
you match my vices pound for pound
your feet stay planted on the ground
while I do acrobatics
it's hard enough to just stay friends
keep dancing when the music ends
find all the tears and try to mend, repeat and start it over
chorus

Paralyzed
03:48
|
|||
Got so much to do
got so much to be
but I cannot move, I'm paralyzed
I'm waiting for you to get through to me
to let my mind go, infantilized
And I feel the earth quake underneath my feet
The bottom drops out nearly every week
Now I'm stuck in the screen
My impossible dream
Oh but it's 1:15, I'm hypnotized
Now I'm full of beans
Nothing's what it seems
Are the ends worth the means?
Debatable
And I feel the power surging through my soul
And I don't know should I censure or extoll
And the harder I look, in the back of the book
In the innermost nook, I can't see, I can't see, I can't see
In the morning I find I've enslaved my own mind
The performative kind, look at me, look at me, look at me
Got the best of both worlds eating me alive
Honey let it go and just enjoy the ride

You Were
02:33
|
|||
spending half my time, thinking about what should be mine
spend the other half straight up missing you
no time to check the mail
this week will probably be another fail
I never knew how much I'd come to miss your face
and it's time to face, it's never gonna stop
no matter time or place, this is the pain I got
and the road ahead is gonna take me places I wish you were
an ordinary crime
and one we'll all commit before we're done
we'll leave the ones we love broken and alone
the cracks don't go away
but slap some glue on, be on your way
it's what we've always done, you don't have a say
chorus
and I'll miss you till it's my time
chorus
no matter who we are no matter what we've done
it's just a stepping stone to the setting sun
and the strangest thing is never knowing any more than that

The Tainted Grain
03:21
|
|||
The astrologer looked into the stars and ran hurriedly off to his king
"Next year's crop of grain will be tainted!"He cried
"And I fear we cannot do a thing!"
"For all who would eat it would fall into folly
Losing their grip on what's real"
"What can we do? We can't throw it away!"
Said the king, "we won't live without meal!"
"Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps"
The astrologer begged to suggest
"We save for ourselves the crop that's unspoiled
And that way we can save our own necks"
"But no" the king parried, "if we are the few
They won't recognize our appeal"
We'll be lost in a world of madness for having
A grip on the realm of the real"
"Perhaps perhaps, perhaps
The answer is we should eat
From the grain all the same as the people below
And join all the rumpus in the street
But I'll mark your forehead and you should mark mine
And though all our sense will depart
When we glance at each other,
we'll notice the sign, our knowledge will set us apart"

Miss Thing
02:46
|
|||
who's that out there in the world
it's the beautiful miss thing cover girl
she's a magical mystery tornado with a past
we were so close not long ago
until she left me for the first string rodeo
she said "i think it's time that I went on my own" and she left
but if you won't let me take care of you
you better do a good job, you better see it through
I don't want to hear you're up to your old tricks again
can't tell if we're better off this way
still a little early yet to say
but I got a feeling that I'll see you in the end
so take your shot there in the world
yeah give it all you got there in the world
you had a rough start but look at you now
chorus
and it's never gonna be easy
you're lucky if it's OK
but if things get a little too dreary
would you look my way

Thoughts and Prayers
03:15
|
|||
We're not allowed to talk about that yet 3x
so hold your breath
It happened again
somebody went and fell apart and they took the innocent
Nobody wins, 'cause no one's fighting just one person with themself
Too many kids, too many nightmares started for the ones he didn't get
It don't make no sense
They say he got to be prepared, got to be on the defense
The cops are afraid, they gonna shoot the people down,
they don't want to be outplayed
A gun doesn't make you happy, a gun doesn't make you safe
A gun won't save your marriage, a gun won't make you brave
I see you Miss America it don't have to be this way
Just get some new politicians that don't work for the NRA!
Thoughts and prayers, but they don't care 'cause they won't do anything
What can we do? He claims he's a hunter but he's hunting me and you
We're not allowed to talk about that yet so hold your breath

They Don't Teach
03:53
|
|||
video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgyHgGt4Ejk
I want to learn but they don't teach
not far away but out of reach
the lesson's hard but learning's sweet
I lay my future at your feet
gotta learn it for my own self, I gotta take the time
gotta do it my way, gotta pay the fine
I can tell I'm making progress, it still looks dark as night
I can work on this forever and never see the light
those fools that tell you how to think
they're made of hubris, made of stink
under the surface is the meat
lead from the inside, be complete
chorus
but I work so hard, it's not enough
I play my part, but the part's too tough

Two Steps Behind
03:13
|
|||
You're my oldest friend that I've had in the world
You remind me of me, as I was, as it were.
Sometimes you drift away but it's all for the best
Yeah I let you go but it all feels like a test
'Cause you were two steps behind me, you were just two steps behind
When I think you'll never find me, you're always two steps behind
And in the darkness I find you and I'm when I'm lonely there you are
Bursting with pride, you're always two steps behind
I don't know your name, I think that's by design
But I know your number, and when you're on the line
When you penetrate me, I just think of the past
And the others I know I believe you harassed
Can you tell me what it is that you want?
Can you help me with this thing moving on?

Safe
02:58
|
|||
Till all of us is safe then none of us is safe
I wish I could take away the pain
The damage that we do, the nightmares that are true
Can't hide, we are the ones must break the chain
there's no way out but through
The work we have to do
To build a better place
The evil I condone, the callous that I've grown
I've gotta find a way to let them go
The fish rots from the head
the sickness loves to spread
That's why we've gotta root it out of ourselves
Integrity or bust
Bridges made of trust
Will overcome the past
