Reminds Me...
03:16

Reminds me of someone I was before
When nothing was on my mind
Was I happy, was I on the wrong track
Was there anything more than that
I thought I heard it all before
I had a reason to be bored
Self defeating, self assured
Remind me when I'm heading out the door
With all of this left behind
I was happy, I was on the right track
Was there anything more than that
Cut to the meaning, cut the cord
I kinda like it when I'm bored
I've had enough don't need no more
It's a bitter relief to be here again
Sailing out on a sea of my old regrets
Guess I'm living the dream, hope for the best
It's a fine belief, won't hold my breath
I'm in too deep to start over
I'm not asleep I'm just older
I can't control the time
And I won't waste it trying for another minute more
I wanna be here for it all
I'm incomplete, I'm in control
Comfortably uncomfortable
The moment comes the moment goes
I guess I'll never really know

Remember
03:18
|

|
Somewhere in your life
The wheels came off the ride
A splinter in your mind
Remember
All the other times
You laughed but wanted to cry
The years are rolling by
Remember
Even if you try, won't know the reason why
Such a waste of time, and time hasn't always been kind
Remember
Blew a second chance, went through a failed romance
The feelings of regret
Remember
While you're in the past, your horses are coming in last
The future’s up for grabs
Remember
Even if you try, won't know the reason why
Such a waste of time, and time hasn't always been kind
Remember
Even if you try, you'll know the reasons why
All the other times, you took back control of your life
Remember
Even if you try, you'll know the reasons why
All the other times, you took back control of your life
Remember

Crony
02:57
|

|
He looks at the bloat in his fingers and his toes
He's got a long day of lying ahead of him
He croaks like a toad, he's an old bag of bones
He only sleeps when he's having a heart attack
Now, he can never be sorry, cause he
He's a company man
Just an old fucking crony
And he's got a secret in his head
Every once in a while
It's a little bit funny
Maybe some other time
Maybe some other story
He lives in a hole in the middle of the road
He only works 80 hours a week for that
He does what he's told as he's raked through the coals
They started taxing his shadow and silhouette
Now, he can never be happy
Cause he's almost content
And he won't hit the ground running
Cause he thinks his life is an accident
Every once in a while
It's a little bit funny
Maybe some other time
Maybe some other story

The New Flesh
03:07
|
|||
|
Pieces are gone
Meaning is lost
Restless and complicated
Thinking is overrated
Say something once and carry on
Twenty seconds long
All one can afford
Don’t have to scream and shout it
If you can't live without it
You’ll find the means to carry on
Distance is habit forming
Thinking is just too boring
Why find the time when it's too long
Untied the tether
The safety's off
You'll live forever
You'll be someone
Faceless and temporary
Tasteless, incendiary
Now all the world is at your door
Untied the tether
The safety's off
You'll live forever
You'll be someone
It's ordinary
And too far gone
It's habit forming
Your meat will rot

A/V
02:48
|

|
Here today, sleeping on a plane
Miles away, got no plans to stay
Find a place, far from my remains
Far away
I'm thinking aloud to keep me sane
I'm starting to think that I'm to blame
Mindless daze, city lights and rain
Out of phase, phone's been off for days
Lost in the maze, no one knows my name
I'm erased
I'm thinking aloud until I'm sane
I'm starting to doubt that I'm to blame
Here today, gone when who can say
I'd be late, to my funeral day
Wide awake, memories on replay
I'll be ok
waiting, watching, til the night turns day
I'm thinking aloud until I'm sane
I'm thinking there's nothing left to blame
I'm looking for something more to say

Brother
04:24
|
|||
|
Brother, I've been away too long
I didn't notice, just how much time had gone
Living, inside my head all day
I should've called you, I don't know what to say
Brother, you've been away too long
You didn't notice, notice how far you'd gone
Busy, with all the day to day
You should have called me, I had so much to say
People go and people come
I'll never forget you
Pieces left from everyone
I wanted to thank you
People go and people come
Brother, brother it's been so long
I should have told you, told you, but now you're gone
People run in circles inside their heads all day
I hope that you're alright and think of me someday
Never wait too long

Over A Life
02:49
|
|||
|
Your life ain't one in a million, not anymore
You'll find you're pretty familiar when you're ignored
This time it's gonna be different all said and done
Your life is just an opinion after you're gone
And you are
A word away from dead
A stranger in your head
No matter who you are
I feel hung up cause there's never enough of the time
I feel hungover from everything changing my life
I feel hung up cause there's never enough of the time
I feel hung up but I'm over it overnight
A lie too often repeated is real enough
You'll even start to believe it, once in a while
These days you're only as real as what you've become
Your life laid out on a page, change is to was
And you were
Somebody in your time
A light in all their lives
This cannot be undone
I feel hung up cause there's never enough of the time
I feel hungover from everything changing my life
I feel hung up cause there's never enough of the time
I feel hungover from everyone's take on my life
Over a life

Long Ago
03:06
|
|||
|
You know it's all been bought and sold
They started turning shit to gold
They found a way to make it pay
Way to copy paste
Way to copy paste
Way to copy paste
Do whatever it takes make a buck
Was there ever a time when it was fun?
Why should I care, it happened long, long ago
You know it happens all the time
They turn their water into wine
And now the ticket to success?
Imitate the rest
Imitate the rest
Imitate the rest
Do whatever it takes make a buck
Was there ever a time when it was fun
Is it meant to be, or just dumb luck
It's only make believe, and then it's gone
Why should I care, it happened long, long ago

Real Or Not
03:20
|
|||
|
Whether it's real or not
As right as a broken clock
Alive but doesn't bleed
It’ll think but there's no feeling
Whether it's real or not
Depends on what you want from the prompt
Whether it's real enough
It's only gonna look the part
Designed with memories
It'll sleep, but what's it dreaming of?
Whether it's sheep, or god
But can you really tell them apart
Forest for the trees
Alive or obsolete, no
The lives that we all lead broken down to ones or zeros
Whether it's real or not
You've only gotta play your part
Whether it's near enough
It's only gonna miss the mark
Ghost in the machine
Better hope it's not unreasonable
Whether it's real or not
It's only gonna leave a mark
Forest for the trees
As the sun sets in the east
The lives that we all lead broken down to ones or zeros

The Time It Slipped Away
03:28
|
|||
|
Staring at a hole in the ceiling
Waiting for a sign of the rain
Stuck inside the fear that it won't be long
The time it slipped away
The time it slipped away
Spent a lot of time going nowhere
Waited at the side of the stage
There must have been a reason I can't recall
The time it slipped away
Devil at the side of my shoulder
Leaning in to watch the mistakes
Waiting for the moment it all goes wrong
The time it slipped away
Everything that you are, or wanted to be
Is gonna make up a star, eventually
Never too late to start
Yeah, cause we all need a little change
The fight no one else will remember
Vendetta all the way to the grave
Wasting and replacing the finer thoughts
The time it slipped away
Everything that you are, or wanted to be
Is gonna make up a star, eventually
So take a break from your war
Yeah, cause we all need a little change
Stranded on a rock going nowhere
Floating through the blanket of space
Staring down the end of the universe
The time it slipped away
I'm sorry but it's only forever
Live it up or throw it away
Shouldn't need a reason just make your own
The time it slipped away
Everything that you are, eventually
Everything that you want, eventually
Everything that you lost, eventually
Everything that you need, eventually
Everything you believe, eventually
It's gonna make up a star, eventually
So take a look where you are, yeah cause we all need a little change

Memory Loss
03:36
|
|||
|
It's all news to me
Is something wrong with my memory
Can't turn back the time
I wouldn't think of it if I tried
Oh no, I got it all wrong again
I thought I was somebody else, maybe a better man
Need some room to breathe
Too many people and thoughts to feed
I'll turn off a while
I'm getting high on my own supply
I'm long overdue
Make it a double or change the tune
It's a mystery
Is something wrong with my memory
Oh no, I got it all wrong again
I thought I was somebody else, maybe a better man
Oh yeah, I’m putting in overtime
Just to remember my name
Don't need sympathy
I can't remember what's hurting me
I'll blank for a while
I'll let you know when it comes to mind
In one ear then out
I wouldn't think of it anyhow
It's so good to me
There's something wrong with my memory
Oh no, I got it all wrong again
I thought I was somebody else, maybe a better man
Oh yeah, I’m putting in overtime
Just to remember my name
Is something wrong with my memory

Headed Underground
03:30
|
|||
|
Trees are turning brown
The days are shorter now
The days are shorter now
Holding on so well
To a little of yourself
Too little of yourself
Headed underground
Headed underground
Find a quiet town
And try to settle down
Try to settle down
No surprises now
And nothing to be found
And nothing to be found
Now, you’re headed underground
You’re headed underground
Stay for the holidays
If you wanna stay
It's your choice to make
Days start to get away
Another number
On another page
Wake from the life you made
To restart the day
Or be on your way
Say what you wanna say
It'll be ok, I can be ok
Days start to get away
Another number
On another page
Wake from the life you made
To restart the day
Or be on your way

A Sort Of Goodbye
03:24
|
|||
|
A sort of goodbye, but not one that you feel
A spot in my mind, one that doesn't heal
Don't wanna rely on visitors to my sill
A comfortable life but one that often spills
I don't know, it's hard enough to hear
I suppose I'll have to play by ear
I don’t know, who can really say
I suppose I’ll take it day by day
A piece of the pie, but how long till I’m fed
I swallow my pride until there’s nothing left
I wanna be liked, but i don't know if it's real
I wanna get high, but I don't like how it feels
I don't know, it's hard enough to hear
I suppose I'll have to play by ear
I don't know if I can really change
I can try to bend before I break
