Far and away, once again
Sensation up my brain and spine again
Ride the wind
Change is in
And time is ended
And my way out, it is right here
And my way out, it is so clear
Can’t you tell?
Got these vines
blockin’ my sight
Yet I’m aligned
And I’m feelin’ fine
In this moment out of time
Sensation up my brain and spine again
Align my ken
Sense the friends
And all is mended
Cause my way out, was always clear
And your way out, it’s also here
Can’t you tell?
A bit of insight
Never hurt
Anyone
Move ya butt
Little bit closer
Livin’ in the moment
Comin’ up fly
Glad you found a way out
Comin’ up slow
Glad you found a way out
Hope you don’t choke
On whoa
Shit, bitch, been a long time, shit
Really, dearly time flies
And now I’m broke
Guess I need way out
No wait I don’t
Even though I need dough
I think I’ll go live my
Life....
Just another way I go
Sensation up my brain and spine again

Clutter

Hey,
I’ve still got so much more to say
Don’t mind the clutter here
It’s just the way my brain works, babe
And I’ve been trying not to fight it
but it’s been getting harder
To dream the way I do
And see the world the way I
Like it when it’s brighter
Believe me, I’m no liar
I’m through
It might’ve been because of you
Hey!
You’ve still got so much left to say.
And don’t believe the hate
It’s just something that’s in the way
Cause you’ve been cruising’ through the city
With your mind ever fitting
To the world around you
Go do the things you’d love to
Make them feel much brighter
Believe me, I won’t fight it
I’m through
It might’ve been because of you
It might’ve been because of you
It might’ve been because of you
You
Ooh ooh good morning to you
Ooh good morning to you
To you
La da de di
And I’ve been trying not to fight it
believe me, I've been butting my head right against
This wall
I’m moving through the motions
Believe me, I am charging as fast as I can ahead
It probably was because of you

Weakness

Got a cup o’ weakness in my head
Had a couple girlfriends in my bed
Didn’t even notice till it all caught up to me
That I’m not quite there...
So tease me, don’t please me
Line it all up like I’m crazy
Passions, distractions, hmph
Ask for it, give back for it, you could even take a class for it
Laugh for it, give back for it, pass
Half a cup of weakness in my head
Couldn’t help bu replay what you’ve said
Overheard the feelings while I had a cigarette
That I’m not that great...
So teach me, then please me
If you take a swing go easy
If you leave me; accelerate
Cause we’re past it, it’s plastic
Hung in the background ceramic
Like a petrified flower on a cliff...Side!
Yo yo yo oh oh oh yo yo yo ahhh

Fire it up again
Everyone makes mistakes
No need to throw it away
Fire it up again
Just a product made by the same damn things
Run it alone
Ahh
I Ran it alone
Ahhhh
Cause everyone makes mistakes
Might need to rearrange
And try it all again
With parts replaced it might
Make a good pace whoa
Everyone fucks it up
And no one is quite enough
But you try anyway
What else are we doing today?
Tired of lone
Goings
Tired woes
On my own...

Waiting for forever
To get it out my brain
Oh I why do I try
How ‘bout you figure what it’s like?
Figure what it’s like, gain some insight
Waiting for forever
To get you out my mind
Oh I why do I try
How ‘bout you figure what it’s like?
Figure what it’s like, gain some insight?
Oh oh oh
How ‘bout you figure what it’s like?
Figure what it’s like, gain some insight..
Cruisin’ through the city even though I knew they’d eat me I said ah ha ha ha
I still got my mind
Losin’ all my focus when these assholes
Think they know shit I said ah haha ha ha
I still got my mind
(Right away, I came up with a plan to stay, to placate all the minds at bay, change the way you behave)
Choosin’ what direction when I’m lost in this infection I said ah ha ha ha
I still got my mind
People choosin’ sides before they even know what’s right and I said ah haha ha ha ha
You’ve all lost your minds
Finding my direction, yes in spite of all this friction I said ah ha ha ha
(Believe a lady when she says, the motions of a man made flesh, you’re turning eyes to their intent, you’re letting them get away oh oh oh)
Reaffirmed in myself cause I relish living challenge I said ah haha ha ha ha
I might lose my mind
How ‘bout you figure what it’s like?
Figure what it’s like gain some insight
Oh
How bout you figure what it’s like?
Figure what it’s like gain some in-

Ohhh ooohh hmmmm
Daybreak, when I see you I’m falling in love again
And how could I not, you’re so much more...
Daybreak, when I see you I’m falling in love again
And how could I not, you’re so much more than irrelevant
If you see me losing ground would you catch me whoa oh
If you see me backing down
Would you walk away?
Ah ooh
Daybreak, when you see me you’re falling in love again
And how could you not I’m so much more than irrelevant whoa oh oh
If I see you losing ground of course I’ll catch you... whoa oh oh
If I see you backing down....
Walk away
*Super Saiyan ensues*
Daybreak, when I see you I’m falling in love again...

Bit of magic
A bit of magic
A bit of magic goes
Quite a long way
To get you back to
Where you wanna go
Bit of magic
A bit of magic
A bit of magic goes
Quite a long way
To get you back to
Where you wanna go
And I could say confidently
That I’m one with the world and it is one with me
And I should say confidently
That I’m one with the world and it is one with me
Bit of magic
A bit of magic
A bit of magic goes
Quite a long way
To get you back to
Where you wanna go
Bit of magic
A bit of magic
A bit of magic goes
Quite a long way
To get you back to
Where you wanna go
And I could say confidently
That I’m one with the world and it is one with me
And I should say supposedly
That we’re one with the world and you are one with me

Ten months
I've steeled
Myself from
Your touch
And how could I forget all of the times
I fought for you to no avail?
And way out of line
You come in closer
And every time
Blow my mind
And way out of line
You push past defense
And every time
It's alright
La da da di de dy
Back here
It's not so bad
To know I'm
Just another note
In another song
To sing to someone
About how you feel
Now and then
To wade through unknown
Waters that soothe you
To bathe in the blue
Once again with you
*You know, the la la's*
So don't you wait one more night
Just come in closer
And sing like you did way back then
To laugh all out loud
And wholeheartedly
To dance like you do
All alone
La da ladada la da dada da...
Ooh

Badladadada
Ain’t quite time for a dance
Some people need knocks to the head
So feel the ginga, push and pull
Back and forth, yes feel the flow
And keep the motions near-constant
Cause you’ve got people seeing red
Badladadada
New to a scene
You might see a few things
Bonafide shifty eyes
Lookin' at me
While I’m walking by
Hope that it’s coke
Mighta spilt some on my shirt
Benefit of the doubt
Is a sense that’s slowly fading out
I see your intent
Can’t cover up the stench of blood that thick
Hoping that we all just leave here real quick
But the rhythm of the dead echoes out into our heads and we’re
Watching the smoke
Billow and rise
Guess there’s a flame
Coming to mind
This ash ain’t new
And they won’t want us to
Use capoeria
Badladadada da da da
Watching the smoke
Billow and rise
Grab on this flame
And open your eyes
This ash ain’t new
And they won’t want us to
Use capoeria
Ahhh ahhh ahhh
Ohhhh
Ahhh ahh ahhh
Feeling the smoke
Fill up my eyes
Guess there’s a flame
Burning inside

So let me fuckin' tell you
About a girl
From the world
I liked her well
She had a pretty style
And down to the earth
She brought the gale
And she wore it well
I liked her well
So lemme fuckin’ tell you
About a girl
From the world
I liked her well
She had a pretty style
A dirty mind
A little sly
I liked her well
Yes it took a little while
To get my mind all made up
'Bout who I am and up singing dank ass songs with you
And it takes a little while
To change the people’s minds up
That maybe this world’s got a bit more dreams in it than blue
So let me fuckin' tell you
About a girl
From the world
I liked her well
She had a pretty style
And down to the earth
It blew my mind
She went a million miles
She wore it well
she wore it well
WHOA
She wore it well
Oh ohoh

"Take the fall"
Is all you ever asked me
To be your wall
Against all the catastrophe
So lay back down
And take a load off now
I’ll be around
To flip the down and out
You said
“I think it’s crazy
Crazy that you
You said
I never knew"
You said
"I think you’re crazy
Crazy and you
You said
I’ll be there too"
And I took the fall
This armored skin
Is chipping off
By my own fault
This fucking shit is hard enough
And I hope it shows
I now know I walking on
A road so cold
One paved by some lonesome fools
You said
“I think it’s crazy
Crazy that you
You said
I never knew"
You said
"I think you’re crazy
Crazy and you
You said
I’ll be there too"
Down to my knees, fall
Down to my knees fall into the ground right now
Down on my knees, crawl
Down on my knees, crawl into the stream so proud
Down to my knees fall
Down to my knees fall into the ground right now
Down on my knees crawl
Down on my knees crawl into the stream like
Down on my knees
Up on my feet
Fall
Hands on my knees
Bawl into the void so loud
Down on my knees crawl
Down on my knees fall
Into the void so
Sound all on me
Why can’t I breathe?
Call
Sound over me
Echo what I’m about
Sound over me call
Call to the people
That I’m all about
All on me
Don’t mind it, please
Take what you need
And just let it be
Breathe
Don’t let it go
Fight for the things you see
Fight for their life
Rise
Fight for their life
Love for the things you
Can’t even get
Hope that it’s met
Met face to face
Put in my place
Fall
Down to my knees
Fall into the ground so proud
Hope that you see
Me
Me in the light
Water is streaming
Down over me
Why can’t you see?
Please
Shimmering trees
Trickle the shadows down
Down over me
Ease
Ease to the sound
Of the wind blown gently
On the leaves
Don’t mind the sea
Roaring at me
Hope that it brings
Tides of a change that we need

Leaving on the road
Headed down the path least treaded
Picking up these colored stones
And I spent time
Watchin’ them fly
Far away
Livin’ on my own
Hopped up on just simply kickin’
Back and watching my own goals
And I heard my mind
Start to stir
All alone
You spent time far away, here on your post
Even when you’re crying alone
Even when you’re laughing alone
You spent time far away, here on your post
Even when you’re crying alone
Even when you’re laughing alone
Living with my own
Hopped up on just simply living
Kickin' it with who I love
And we spent time the way we liked
All alone
Leaving down the road
All alone
Looking out
Windows filled up with these broken bones
And I’ll spend life
Changing times
All alone
And we spent time far away, here on our post
Even when we’re laughing alone
Even when we’re crying alone
And we spent time far away, here on our post
Here on our post oh whoa...
And then...
They started fighting for real
And then they started crying for real
Ohohoh
You spent time far away...
