Coming of Age
03:37
|
|||
I've grown up too fast, I'm missing out on these years
I hear a whisper in space of the ethos we fear
I'm a chip off the block like my father holds dear
This coming of age costs the same as a six pack of beer
I'm just a ghost unpurified
Skin and bones all still alive
Father, Father, will you tell me another lie
Father, Father, don't you tell me another lie
Time is just a breeze that creeps in through the window
And leaves me at unease like some unconcerning limbo
A constant acceleration, I'm forever moving on a string
When conversation gets too heavy, that string must break and I must sing
About my fear of the never ending abyss
I will lose my hair

Introspective
You draw from fear of war, you hide inside of your skin
Who cares if we lose or we win? In my vision,
Progressive future decay, I know we'll lose our lives one day anyway
But I still think that it's a gamble, to lose our bodies at last
To see our lives in the past, I hear you talking out your ass
You've got a complex, surrounding power consumption
And the darkest part about it is you don't know much about it
Opening the door to things we've never seen before is like a stress response we anticipate
Walls are melting down through the ground, I know that sound
Put your guard down, everything is okay
Come outside, you're safe from worries
All your threats will turn to raindrops today
Why the long face? What's gotten into your head
Your care has lessened to dread and no one knows the reason why
But I can feel that your tension lives in your head
You're clearly stressed from head to toe, I think I know how to let go

Crybaby

Questioning existence you don't even know why
And forget you ever lived the hardest part of your life
Don't get too hung up on it all night
And no matter what you do don't let it stick with you the rest of the time
Wake up real early you don't got the desire
Forget you ever tried and set the morning on fire
Sleep away your problems never put up a fight
Sleep until forever, even sleeping through your Saturday night
Crybaby
One day you will buy a mercedes
Own an estate
That you’ll claim bankruptcy on anyway
Livin’ nicely
The rest of your life’s not likely
In need of a change, escape from this
So I’ll teach you what love is
You been acting funny, don't tell nobody why
You'd travel any distance to escape from your mind
Fighting the disease sounds familiar to me
But i don't got the answers, if i did, id share the secret for free
But don't you worry, ill be here when you need
You got someone beside you every day of the week
Changing the equation makes the outcome right
To have a million dollars wouldn't make the sun shine any more bright

I Wish You Peace
04:20
|

I fell apart in the fate of absolute absurdity that few can relate
I tried to repair the break, but my body ached with fright
Anxious to change my beliefs
And in search of medicine that acts as a commodity
Hiding what i really need, i feel the burn in me
Is this real life or am I at fault in my head, will things be better next week? Is something wrong, am I in debt, do I owe pain sometimes?
These feelings will drive me over the edge
And it's a force that delivers you this message
I wish you peace
I'm a human being, my life span's no surprise
I know I won't outlive the oldest man alive
But who's supposed to stop me if I don't even try
I'm better off not knowing when I die
We made amends in the spring
Something tells me you will be the most successful thing
Ever to walk this land, the sidewalk, grass, or sand
So teach everyone what you know
I might as well be one of them, my knowledge is low
Teach me to gratify my will to survive
I don't know why I intensify my foolish mind and self destruct on the spot But I need to be more optimistic cuz happiness will come to me
When I choose to redefine
These feelings will drive me over the edge
And it's a force that delivers you this message
I wish you peace

Should i stay at home
Or go out tonight
Should i even leave my bed
And see the light
No one knows
Should I be the rock
To hold it down
Or should I be the floating on
Of everything
No one knows
Forced to pick the best of two
But i don't think i can choose
When its time to make the choice
Your mind has gone one way, your body another
All mixed up and afraid to commit
You can’t avoid it but you can always prolong it
Procrastinate til the last minute
Make a joke out of it
Then make a lighthearted decision
All wrong, I must live both these lives
Time is two planes that run parallel
Nature will lead you to the source
Instinct will tell you the right choice
Listen, you will hear
Should i stay at home
Where i was born
Or should i find myself
Three hours down the road
Only i know
Forced to pick the best of two
But i don't think i can choose

Melting Vibes
03:15
|
|||
I don't ever want to be you
As if someone would even let me
Who's to say I won't forget you
For reasons unexplained that aren't true
Let's go easy
Make moves slowly, please let go, you've got one thing coming
From my head I'll let it out again
I can't get out of my head
And my body really wants to stay in bed
And we don't really mind at all they said
Just keep moving
Throw back what's not in your plans
I'll take what I can fit into my hands
And wash away the melting vibes again
Never ending
Paint the walls a kind of dark gray
And kind of just absorb the growing fade
I'm visceral without you in here
A room I made to stay away from fear
Let's go easy
Take what's different, fill the void and make perfect pictures
From my head, I'll let it out again
