Forgotten... Things
03:47
|
|||
I used to be a singer in a punk band
I had inspiration. I had my red van
Music and lyrics just flowed through my hand
18 years old. I was hardly a man
Now I can't seem to think of the ...um... those things you say
I'm tracing circles on an otherwise blank page
How did it all come so easily, but now its gone?
It cannot be that talent disappears with age
I reach out begging to hold on
I wait and I wait for my muse to return
But all my ideas seem tired and worn
I'd lower my standards, but when will I learn
to put in the work for an artist reborn
But I can't seem to think of the ...um... those things you say
I'm tracing circles on an otherwise blank page
How did it all come so easily, but now its gone?
It cannot be that talent disappears with age
I reach out begging to hold on
...uh...
I'm fighting hard for every word down on this page
How had it all come so easily? but it's not gone!
I will always plan on staying up on stage
No, it's not easy, but it's not my last song

Bags Packed
03:32
|

Waking up when I hear my snore
Pour a mug and I'm out the door
'Cause you know I gotta be there at 9, I gotta make the place shine, I gotta be there on time
It's best to not think about these things
Like...
I know it's not the perfect gig, but it pays the bills just the same, and
Hollywood seems like fun, 'til you taste the heat of the LA sun
Work release getting old; I hope my listings on eBay sold
Pack my bags; remember when I never thought I'd go home again.
Seat back up when I hear the call
It's views like these that make a man feel small
'Cause you know I'm gonna wanna just hide, and then I'll be let inside, I've lost a lot of my pride
It's best to not think about these things

Perceptive Reality
02:29
|
|||
The trees are made of high school lovers
The branches are their moms
And if I could get past the others
I might forget the bombs
There's no escape
But all around
I'm drowning in a sea of reflections
They show my crumbling teeth
Was that last year
Or just today?
I woke up in a dream last night
I woke up with a view of reality
If I had even half the perception
I would not quit
I flew atop the highest mountain
And came down as the rain
I fell into a moonlit fountain
[And] got swallowed by the drain
I'm still inside
Or maybe not
The phone was ringing from your eardrums
But I couldn't find your face
I didn't move
but I ran away
I woke up in a dream last night
I woke up with a view of reality
If I had even half the perception
I would not quit
I might just do it again
I woke up in a dream last night
I woke up with a view of the impossible
If I had only twice my perception
I might not quit

Gotten Old
02:09
|

I've become someone I didn't know
Guess I didn't die before I got old
We set our own rules or fit into the mold
And I've made fun as an adult
'cause I decide what that word means
You talk about the glory days, this ain't a Springsteen song
You play the music from my youth you know I'll sing along
We've all got memories: our sacred paths; rejoice and mourn
I'd never trade them in, you know I'm looking to make more
I'm making moments count
You say the best days of your life are in the past, oh well
But Bryan Adams never had a crystal ball to tell
What will the future hold, you know I want to find that out
But I won't wait for it, I'll meet it there, I have no doubt
I'm right where I wanna be

Marry Me
03:05
|
|||
When we first met, I didn't have a clue that we'd fall for each other.
Again I saw your face.
Soon I saw the rest.
I think this could be good.
She's got me wondering.
When I see her tonight, I'll be down on one knee asking her to be mine.
Will she say "yes"? I really hope so.
She saw me through my best and even puts up with my worst.
Together we built something.
We started out as friends, and nothing has changed.
Let's make it last forever.
She's got me wondering.
When I see her tonight, I'll be down on one knee asking her to marry me.

Hell
03:42
|
|||
Different hearts
Different minds
But we're always on each others' sides
Shoulder to shoulder
I struggle on
You struggle, too
You can lean on me; I'll lean on you
Over and over
I'd walk through hell with you
Save me
Save you
Laugh at all that we have been through
Harder and harder
Never let go
Never give in
Never gonna listen. Never gonna listen!
Forever and ever
With friends like these, I can handle any enemies

I'm Hungry
03:58
|

While I don't oppose scientific progress as a rule, I find a lack of second guessing terrifying to my core, and I just think, "Have we really reached the point where we understand the full repercussions of our acts, big and small?" Pesticides, herbicides, far and wide, and we wonder, "Where are all the honeybees?" Can it be maybe we have responsibility for the land, for the sea, to preserve humanity over the economy?
Hand me the menu, I'm hungry.
I don't care how it got to me.
This is the way it has to be.
If you are what you eat, and you're eating GMOs, will your genes change? Rearrange? Turn you into something strange? I don't know. You don't know. We don't know, and it shows. That's my point: that gambling with stuff like this is recklessness! Chemicals in your life, for your pets, for your kids. Do you think Atrazine should cover all that you consume? And the sole potential winner is Monsanto's CEO, so can we label fruit and veg if it was dreamed up in a lab?
It's gonna stick around as long as it's profitable for corporations
It's gonna stick around unless it hurts their media relations
It's gonna stick around as long as they prey on our temptations
It's gonna stick around unless we express our aggravations
Farmers give antibiotics to every pig, cow, and chicken. Is it me, or could they provide a cleaner atmosphere? Instinctive good hygiene if they only had the space. Cramped cages: filthy wire is their home until they die. It's a shame that we turn a blind eye to the suffering of animals we certainly would be worse off without, comforted by denial and detachment from the crime. And, in time, will we find that's what started our decline?

Pivot
02:29
|
|||
Roll along with the pack
And all you see's my back
You get around, I'll knock you down
That's the pivot's strong attack
Push and shove; check a chick
And you give your wounds a lick
I don't care; you won't dare
touch me even with a stick
I live in the land of fishnets and bruises
Born of fire and you're gonna get burned
I'll eat your baby when you think you're alone
You can whip all you want, but you won't get past me
You wear a star, all the glamour
You you think you are a jammer
I'm the type that wears a stripe
And I'll put you in the slammer
Cannon ball, hit my wall
And you know you're gonna fall
You think you're fast, you just got passed
Baby all you do is crawl

Story of a Boy
04:39
|
|||
Here's a story about a little kid
He didn't come from the same world we did
There were dragons, goblins, orcs, and elves
And everyone there relied on themselves
As a babe, he was cast out to the wild
Raised by elves who could see no life defiled
When he grew up, he received his first bow
And he became the best that you know
[King] And if the prophecy tells of the one raised by elves who will dethrone the King, then all elves must be destroyed.
The king came with his stolen crown
Gave the order to cut the elves down
The battle raged and casualties were high
The kingdom's army's victory was nigh
The kid rode to a far off sea of sand
To quest for a relic of a distant land
The legend told of a kingdom to divide
A weapon was the last hope to turn the tide
[King] And when the battle is won, and word spreads of my might, the world will bow at my feet, and my reign will be supreme
Ride strong, fight hard
The battle rages on
We will stand guard
Until our freedom's won
Searching through the ancient dust and bone
He had a feeling that he was not alone
The kid turned 'round and was knocked right off his feet
The King was too much for the kid to defeat
In desperation, the kid looked low and high
A glinting hourglass came across his eye
Without a thought he knew what must be done
A chronostasis of father and his son
[King] You will never defeat me. I live and breathe control. You should know, my son. What is that?
Ride strong, fight hard
The battle rages on
We will stand guard
Until our freedom's won
Give thanks, stand tall
The battle has been won
Our hero's fall
Brings us a brand new dawn
[King] You fool. You've locked yourself with me in eternal struggle, and what will you gain? Your regret will have no end. When I'm free of your prison, none will be safe; they'll all be erased from existence. But first, let's get acquainted. Have you met my wrath?

Ripped Out My Heart
03:07
|
|||
You reached in and ripped out my still beating heart, again.
you still laugh about it with your friends
Caring about someone so deeply
Felt just like a movie
Ever after not so happily
Living in that moment constantly
Wrestling my certainty
That you were my destiny
Praying Netflix come to save me
Maybe I'll watch Buffy
She would love me, wouldn't she?
Dreaming of your cruel goodbye to me
I just want to forget the scene
My nightmare repeats endlessly
All I have is fading
My sense of worth degrading
I can't suppress the panic
The fall has made me frantic
and in due time I know I'll find
The strength inside My friends remind
me I have. but Until I get there
what am I supposed to do?!

WHS Says Relax
06:26
|

Down this crowded street
I'm strolling and whistling
Can't think of a thing bothering me
Sun's up and the sky's blue
No problem can compare to this great feeling
Man rushes past, and slams into me
The crowd keeps moving and I hit the ground
The masses treat me like I'm part of the sidewalk
I pick myself up and brush myself off
I calm my mind and count to 3/5/10
Adjust my hat and walk again
See the birds flying high
I try to rise above
But it's pullin'
Pulling me down
Trying to steal my smile
Too many people shoving to get by
No bother, I'm free and clear
They're the ones who are missing out on life
A cigarette burns on the back of my hand
I jump to the side and I slip off the curb
A cyclist yells and runs me down
Why's everyone keep staring at me?
I'm alright; they should be, too
Maybe I'll give them something worth staring at
Walk near a garbage can, I'm hit with a coffee
losing my cool and burning my arm
The world stops and stares, laughing and pointing
My jaw clenches down and my pressure builds
I start to see red and I grab the bin
It goes through a window in a shower of glass
And those stares turn to horror as I look for what's next
Now I got a feeling that a coffee cup don't justify such fire
But I been saving this up til now, so just sit back and enjoy the show
I throw an ashtray at a crowd of smokers as they run for the hills
And I flip a table at a sidewalk bistro 'cause the food just smells too good
A bu'nessman leaps in the corner of my eye and I just have time to dodge
I send him to the ground with a kick to the groin and he cries out for his mom
I throw a bicycle into the street 'cause I just can't take no more
But I didn't see that a squad car pulled up to see what's all the fuss
Now I don't know all the things I said, I'm sure it wasn't pretty
'Cause before I know I'm convulsating on the ground, bein' tased
I wake up in a cell with a splitting headache; scrapes and burns on my hands and arms
Now I'm pretty sure I have a right, but I got no one to call
I sit with a lawyer as he takes my case and reprimands me good
But half his words are lost as I just stare out at the sky
The sun is up, the birds fly high, but my counsel starts to yell
I give a grin, they try to pull me down, but they just can't steal my smile
