If you saw the scene you stirred today
Then maybe you would watch the words you say
Like a needle on the compass of blame your finger only points away
If you lack a single ounce of substance, substitute with what they say
Pick your truths and deny all other hues
Relevance irrelevant
Just let em shiver behind the screen
You haven't got a single shred of respect
If you saw the scene you stirred today
Then maybe you would watch the words you say
But if you wanna chase the golden throne
Then go ahead and
Tell it like it is
Tell 'em all the lies
Tell 'em how you'll cut them down to size
Tell 'em you're the one with all of the answers
Tell 'em that they're watching from the other side
Tell it like it is
Tell 'em that we're right
Tell 'em that we're going to have to fight
Tell 'em that the world has turned against 'em
Tell 'em that they're coming for your every right
Outrageous turns to monotony and consequence is far away
Doesn't matter what they mean, they're only just the words you say
It's no longer about what's right, it's only about who wins
And when they're bangin on our front door
It's too late to tuck away your sins
If you saw the scene you stirred today
Then maybe you would watch the words you say
If you wanna lead us all astray
Then go ahead and
Tell it like it is
Tell 'em all the lies
Tell 'em how you'll cut them down to size
Tell 'em you're the one with all of the answers
Tell 'em that they're watching from the other side
Tell it like it is
Tell 'em that we're right
Tell 'em that we're going to have to fight
Tell 'em that the world has turned against 'em
Tell 'em that they're coming for your every right
If you saw the scene you stirred today
Then maybe you would watch the words you say
But if you wanna flout democracy
Then go ahead and
Tell it like it is
Tell 'em all the lies
Tell 'em how you'll cut them down to size
Tell 'em you're the one with all of the answers
Tell 'em that they're watching from the other side
Tell it like it is
Tell 'em that we're right
Tell 'em that we're going to have to fight
Tell 'em that the world has turned against 'em
Tell 'em that they're coming for your every right

I'm Sick

I'm sick of you
I'm sick of me
I'm sick of the always trying to be
I'm sick of this place
I'm sick of my face
I'm sick of the goddamn human race
I'm sick
I'm sick
I'm sick
I'm sick
I'm sick of up
I'm sick of down
I'm sick of making the aching frown
I'm sick of the wrong
I'm sick of the right
I'm sick of the constant futile fight
I'm sick
I'm sick
I'm sick
I'm sick
I'm sick
I'm sick
I'm sick
I'm sick

Knot In My Chest
03:19
|

I foresee the shining allure
The glow of negativity pure
That character that I deplore
I do hope it's not me anymore
Is time enough for one to ease
The evil that must be released
How to rectify a man
Music, magic, making peace
And it's given me a knot in my chest
Don't wanna be like all the rest
Am I anew, shed my skin
Or a chameleon to blend back in
If there's a way to make it through
I'll give my love to all of you
Those who've spread distress and harm
A lonely lover lacking arms
And it's given me a knot in my chest
Don't wanna be like all the rest
Am I anew, shed my skin
Or a chameleon to blend back in
As I walked through the museum of my mind
I saw what ought to be left behind
And over time I let it go
I'm going back into a home I don't know
As I walked through the museum of my mind
I saw what ought to be left behind
And over time I let it go
I'm going back into a home I don't know
And it's given me a knot in my chest
Don't wanna be like all the rest
Am I anew, shed my skin
Or a chameleon to blend back in

Feel
03:01

In my darkest days
I found you in the hardest ways
Burned your image in my mind
Eyed you through my looking glass
Tell myself it's gonna last
I see you, I feel you, inside
Oh yeah, I can't feel it
I thought I knew
How to love, you were the drug
That made my blood go blue
Now I see the truth
The circumstances did the dance
And now I've got no clue
I thought I knew where I stood
I'm dancing in the woods
Mountains rise from memories
The ghosts in the trees
They're telling me to leave
Valleys fall away from me
Oh yeah, I can't feel it
I thought I knew
How to love, you were the drug
That made my blood go blue
Now I see the truth
The circumstances did the dance
And now I've got no clue

Well, I'll tell you a story
Of whiskey and mystics and men,
And about the believers and
How the whole thing began.
First there were women and
Children obeying the moon,
Then daylight brought wisdom
And fever and sickness too soon
You can try to remind me
Instead of the other, you can.
You can help to ensure
That we all insecure our command.
If you don't give a listen,
I won't try to tell your new hand.
This is it; can't you see
That we all have our ends in the band.
And if all of the teachers and
Preachers of wealth were arraigned,
We could see quite a future
For me in the literal sands.
And if all the people
Could claime to inspect such regrets,
Well, we'd have no forgiveness,
Forgetfullness, faithful remorse.
So I tell you, I tell you,
I tell you we must send away.
We must try to find a
New answer instead of a way.

See-Through Eyes
06:18

Sitting by fire under moonlight
Time drifts by
Words are heard but never are they spoken
Echoed sighs
I catch my breath before I leave you
Edges of the earth beckon my return
I was sold to the ghosts of the living
I see their shadows pass me by
Dark light
Illuminating my my vacant eyes
Oh yeah
Rolling hills in the sunshine
I close my eyes
The love I lost in my leaving
Is but a memory
I feel the love growing all around me
It's everything i need
It's my home
Going home
I was sold to the ghosts of the living
I see their shadows pass me by
Dark light
Illuminating my my my my my vacant eyes
Oh yeah
I am not my eyes
I am not my mind
I am not inside
I am of the one
Not what I've become
I am not inside
I am not my eyes
I am not my mind
I am not inside
I am of the one
Not what I've become
I am not inside
My see-through eyes
I was sold to the ghosts of the living
I see their shadows pass me by
Dark light Illuminating my my my my my vacant eyes
Oh yeah

Final Failure
05:43
|

I saw the light
Of a second sun
Burn my eyes
As the dawn early comes
I feel no pain
Shine on my skin
Unnatural light
Forms fire within
In fear we held
Our shrouds so close
Sounds like rain
Breathe in again
We failed this time
I guess I'll sleep it off
The curtain calls, bow
Cratered children
Fall before
Endless eyes
That lead before
Forgotten men
Will not stand
In the wretched waste
Of a silent land
In fear we held
Our shroud so close
sounds like rain
Breathe in again
We failed my friend this time
I guess I'll sleep it off
The curtain calls, bow
Thus in silence in dreams' projections
Returning, resuming
I thread my way through the hospitals
The hurt and wounded I pacify with soothing hand
I sit by the restless all the dark night — some are so young
Some suffer so much
I recall the experience sweet and sad
Can you recall these thoughts
Empty hands bare what's lost
Adam's child stands at the end
Eve remains, what's left to defend?
Can you recall these thoughts

Adam's child stands at the end
Eve remains, what's left to defend?

I guess I'll sleep it off
The curtain calls, bow

I can seal the waves
I can heal the trees
And if I can't let go
My time will surely bury me
I can seal the waves
I can heal the trees
And if I can't let go
My time will surely bury me
I can feel my heart is swingin
Going through my mind
I can feel the dawn is rising
Got to leave in time
I can feel my heart is swingin
Going through my mind
I can feel the dawn is rising
Got to leave in time
I can seal the waves
I can heal the trees
And if I can't let go
My time will surely bury me

Oh Baby

People walking all around
Everybody's got a frown, lately
Talking on your telephones and your megaphones
Everyone's got message for ya lately
Everybody's looking for the cure
To what it's all for
In the middle of the night it came to light
That what shines so bright ain't what it's all for
Found myself in a burned out hell sharing a cell with a man from Mississippi
He said, "I was once like you, I thought in thirty years, ya know we'd all be hippies"
I looked into his eyes and saw a lie
I said to him "man,
That's pretty trippy"
Everybody's looking for the cure
To what it's all for
In the middle of the night it came to light
That what shines so bright ain't what it's all for
So if you am I and he are we
Let's get together and melt into the trees
We took a look at the world who took a look at me
And quickly glanced away quite awkwardly

Walking I saw a friend
He smiled said this is the end
Shaken bones are left for dead
Came across the avenue
So shiny and so new
I forget the things I want to
Gonna be a rockstar in our time
Gonna be a big shot in my prime
Gonna take what I want for mine
Yeah, I'll do it
Gonna take it easy can't go to my head
Gonna rest gonna stay in bed
Gonna settle down
If I need to
Yeah, I'll do it
Falling down an elevator shaft
Clinging on to a half built raft
My sweaty fingers split in half
Scribe my name into the day
Left my body on the highway
Don't laugh if you see me driving
Gonna be a rockstar in our time
Gonna be a big shot in my prime
Gonna take what I want for mine
Yeah, I'll do it
Gonna take it easy can't go to my head
Gonna rest gonna stay in bed
Gonna settle down
If I need to
Yeah, I'll do it
Yellow string
White flowers
All these forms I see
Only exist in mind
Color me two shades
Of a darker pale
Don't you ever wonder
How to get yourself there
Gonna be a rockstar in our time
Gonna be a big shot in my prime
Gonna take what I want for mine
Yeah, I'll do it
Gonna take it easy can't go to my head
Gonna rest gonna stay in bed
Gonna settle down
If I need to
Yeah, I'll do it

He Bought A Gun

Hot breath
Spit on my face
I shave your crown
Less is my disgrace
I have this part of you inside of me
you defy me
I seek a part of me divided
Divide him
Hold my hand
Bitter Conversation
Old and grand
In my wisdom I forsake you
The echoes crawled across the hillside
What happens when a soul is ended?
And who am I when the end is near?
Lost and somewhat helpless
I sink into the crystal clear
Festered under skin
This sickness rots from within
I grow it, I grow it, I grow it out...
I grow it, I grow it, I grow it out...
I grow it, I grow it, I grow it out...
I grow it, I grow it, I grow it out...
Last corridor sunk closed eyes in
12 feet under from your skin
Leave me buried left side down
I'll crawl across this town
I may have changed my number
But I still wait for your call
And when it's all through
Ill stand under your fall

I Heard You
04:17

I heard you baby
I heard you talking to him
I know you're leaving
You won't be coming round no more
I heard you baby
I know you won't be round
Please leave me be babe
Its so much better that way
Don't you realize what you're about to do
Baby what you hear, girl
It ain't true
Honey honey when the lights are low
Close your eyes and shut the door
Don't mention let the bad things in
Speak it loud they start to sing
Creepy crawlies under my bed
Or maybe just inside your head
Don't mention let the bad things in
Speak it loud they start to sing
I know the sign says
Turn left five blocks behind yourself, babe
I heard you talking to him
And I know the street light
The green light says go on, you're on your own
You'll never come back home again
