Slow Down
04:38
|

|
Tearing up avenues
Youth and machine
We own the stereo
It’s all we really need
Worries don’t even
Enter my mind
I can just let it be
It’s such a simple time
Slow down
Slow down
New love is always
A whisper away
She says she’s into you
Let’s stay another day
Open and limitless
A future to seize
Letting yourself create
Who you want to be
Slow down
Slow down
Enter the commoner
Enter the thief
Oh how they take control
Faster than you think
It’s only natural
To barter and trade
To make yourself useful
But how much can you take?
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down

In Here
04:32

If you could choose to be anywhere
Where would you be?
In the mountains of evergreens
Or on the shores of a diamond sea?
I’ve asked myself that so many times
Wandering aimlessly
Now I’d choose to be anywhere
If it brought you closer to me
You used to talk about parables
The empires in decline
And the perils of certainty
All illusions of the mind
Circles form around energy
Within space and time
There we gathered to see you on
She said the chimes they were a sign
I know you told us that
We’d be ok
Yet I've been lost and empty
Since you went away
I’m sure you’re right, I guess
I’ll find my way
Just know I miss you so
And that will never fade
Out there
I lost you
But in here
I have you

Terrible Thing
03:36
|
|||
|
Did you come around
To watch it all fall down
To watch it all crash down?
Come down
For many years I’ve tried
For many years I’ve tried
To comprehend your mind
Your kind
Why do I get the feeling friend
You find some joy in misfortune
Oh especially when it’s mine
We know it happens every time
And all the while you wish me well
Do you think that I can’t tell?
Why do I get the feeling friend
You find some joy in misfortune
Oh especially when it’s mine
We know it happens every time
And all the while you wish me well
Do you think that I can’t tell?
A terrible thing
Such a terrible thing
You find in my suffering
A terrible thing
It’s such a terrible thing
You’re fond of my suffering
A terrible thing
What a terrible thing
You get from my suffering
A terrible thing
It’s such a terrible thing
You’re fond of my suffering

Front View
04:50

|
I don’t want you
In my rearview
I want you here
In my front view
We were so good
Like so bad, so good
And I think it’s rare to
Find love that good
But now you’re throwing it all away
Because we differ from day to day
And now you’re pushing me out of the way
Due to a few less than perfect days
Life’s not always
Smooth, calm and clear
Don’t give up so
Easy my dear
But now you’re throwing it all away
Because we differ from day to day
And now you’re pushing me out of the way
Due to a few less than perfect days
Green eyes
Why you getting watery?
Green eyes
I thought you were over me, yeah
I don’t want you
In my rearview
I want you here
In my front view

Kids Wearing Black
03:30
|
|||
|
They all show up
To shut it down
And if they must
They’ll burn it down
Another a fit
Of righteous rage
A different kind
It’s still a cage
No time for contemplation
They come for confrontation
And all the kids
Are wearing black
They got some clubs
They got their masks
And all the kids
Are wearing black
And all the kids
Are wearing black
If force is right
Why secrecy?
To take control
Of liberty?
To get to affirmation
Ignore the contradiction
And all the kids
Are wearing black
They got some knives
They got their masks
And all the kids
Are wearing black
And all the kids
Are wearing black

Break You
03:48
|
|||
|
When you add it up
You’re only losing
What was fun at first
Turned agonizing
I can tell you want
To end the torture
But you tell yourself
That you can change her
What’s it gonna take
I can’t understand you
What’s it gonna take
Will she always control you?
What’s it gonna take
I can’t believe you
What’s it gonna take
Did she finally break you?
You settle for love
You settle when you don’t have to
You settle for love
You settle when you don’t have to
What’s it gonna take
I can’t understand you
What’s it gonna take
Will she always control you?
What’s it gonna take
I can’t believe you
What’s it gonna take
Did she finally break you?

Depravity
03:07
|
|||
|
I want to feel like
We’ve got good on the inside
But that’s so hard to reconcile
With all the blood on the outside
I’d like to think that I
Couldn't hurt a soul on the outside
But that’s so hard to do when I’ve
Got all this hate on the inside
I want to feel like
I’ve got good on the inside
But that’s so hard to reconcile
With all the blood on the outside
I can’t believe
The things I’ve seen
The cruelty
Depravity
I want to feel like
I’ve got good on the inside
But that’s so hard to reconcile
With all the blood on the outside
I'd like to think that I've
Not gone insane on the inside
But it’s so hard to keep one’s mind
With all the madness on the outside
I can’t believe
The things I’ve seen
The cruelty
Depravity

What Lies Before
03:46
|
|||
|
I see scenes from other times
I see a distant place
I see streets from where I’ll be
Twenty years to date
I see kitchen cabinetry
I see license plates
I see homes of those I’ll meet
Who greet with a warm embrace
I see what lies before
Because it happened all before
I see what lies before
Because it’s unified in form
I see things like freeways signs
I see apartment buildings
I see sights of Union Square
The hills of Los Angeles
I see you and I see me
I see a future of dreams
I see love and I see loss
And that’s how our life will be
I see what lies before
Because it happened all before
I see what lies before
Because it’s unified in form

Crush
02:13
|
|||
|
She’s a means to an end
Useful tool, to pretend
Don’t you dare analyze
The escape is the prize
My latest crush
My latest fix
My latest find
My latest hit
My latest craze
My latest love
My latest whore
My latest drug
Watch me try to repeat
Fill the void which is me
Someone else, maybe you?
Will suffice, month or two
My latest crush
My latest fix
My latest find
My latest hit
My latest craze
My latest love
My latest whore
My latest drug

Awhile
04:24
|

|
It’s been awhile
Since I’ve seen you smile
Captured in your eyes
The weight of those goodbyes
To learn to live without
To love despite the doubt
It’s been awhile
Since I’ve seen you smile
Remember what you said?
You promised us
I don’t know why
It’s the design
I don’t know why
It’s been a while
Since I’ve seen you smile
It breaks my heart to find
You’re giving up this time
Remember what you said?
You promised us
I don’t know why
It’s the design
I don’t know why
We have to die
I don’t know why
