Is this just another day?
This God forgotten place First comes love, then comes pain Let the games begin Questions rise and answers fall Insurmountable Love boat captain Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear, here It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough Is this just another phase Of earthquakes making waves? Trying to shake the cancer off Aah, stupid human beings Once you hold the hand of love It's all surmountable Hold me and make it the truth That when all is lost, there'll be you 'Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing And there's just one word I still believe And it's love It's an art to live with pain Mix the light into gray Lost nine friends we'll never know Two years ago today And if our lives became too long Would it add to our regret? And the young, they can lose hope 'Cause they can't see beyond today The wisdom that the old can't give away, hey Constant recall Sometimes life don't leave you alone Hold me and make it the truth That when all is lost, there will be you 'Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing And there's just one word that I still believe And it's love, love, love, love, love Love boat captain take the reigns Steer us towards the clear I know it's already been sung Can't be said enough Love is all you need All you need is love, love, love |

Light green to green, dark green, brown
Every life is falling down Brown to black, it's coming back Dies to be part of the ground Seed to seedling, root to stem Eyes, no eyes, there's no difference Every life is looking in Swallowing seeds on the deathbed Dig a hole in the garden Everyone is practicing But this world's an accident I was the fool because I thought I thought the world Turns out the world thought me It's all the other way around We're upside down Dad, he's gone up in flames But this ain't no movie This ain't no book you can close When the big lie hits your eye Everyone is practicing Our world's an accident I was the fool because I thought I thought the world Turns out the world thought me It's all the other way 'round We're upside down Down, down, down Let the fluency set it down Down Let the fluency set it down There's an upside of down The moon is rolling 'round our world The moon is rolling 'round our world Our world Our world |

I've used hammers made out of wood
I have played games with pieces and rules I've deciphered tricks at the bar But now you're gone I haven't figured out why I've come up with riddles and jokes about war I figured out numbers and what they're for I've understood feelings and I've understood words But how could you be taken away? And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair, today just disappeared Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar We were but stones, your light made us stars With heavy breath, awakened regrets Back pages and days alone that could have been spent Together, but we were miles apart Every inch between us becomes light years now No time to be void or save up on life Oh, you got to spend it all And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair, you seemed to like it here Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar We were but stones, your light made us stars And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go It don't seem fair, today just disappeared Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar We were but stones, your light made us stars |

Sliding out of reverse into drive, this
Wheel will be turning right, then straight Off in the sunset she'll ride She can remember a time denied Stood by the side of the road, spilled like wine now She's out on her own and I'm high There's no leaving here Ask- I'm an ear She's disappeared They said that timing was everything Made him want to be everywhere There's a lot to be said for nowhere There's no leaving here Ask- I'm an ear He's disappeared There's no leaving here Ask- I'm an ear Fuck it- we've disappeared |

Alone, listless -- breakfast table in an otherwise empty room

All in all, it's no one's fault
excuses turn to carbon walls Blame it all on chemical intercourse The swallowed seeds of arrogance Breeding in the thoughts of ten- Thousand fools who fight irrelevance The full moon is dead skin The one down here is wearing thin So set up the ten pins As the human tide rolls in Like a ball that's spinning Bombs dropping down Overhead, underground It's instilled to wanna live Bombs, dropping down Please forgive our hometown In our insignificance "Turn the jukebox up," he said, Dancing in irreverance "Play C3, let the song protest." The plates begin to shift Perfect lefts come rolling in I was alone and far away When I heard the band start playing On the lip, late take off Bombs dropping down Overhead, underground It's instilled to wanna live Bombs, dropping down Please forgive our hometown In our insignificance Feel like resonance of distance In the blood, the iron lies It's instilled to wanna live Bombs, dropping down Please forgive our hometown In our insignificance In our insignificance |

Behind her eyes there's curtains
And they've been closed to hide the flames, remains She knows their future's burning But she can smile just the same, same And though her mood is fine today There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways Standing like a statue A chin of stone, a heart of clay, hey And though he's too big a man to say There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways Drifting away, drifting away, drifting away, away Drifting away, drifting away, drifting away, away |

I took a drive today
Time to emancipate I guess it was the beatings, made me wise But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize I couldn't breathe, holding me down Hand on my face, pushed to the ground Enmity gauged, united by fear Forced to endure what I could not forgive I seem to look away Wounds in the mirror waved It wasn't my surface most defiled Head at your feet, fool to your crown Fist on my plate, swallowed it down Enmity gauged, united by fear Tried to endure what I could not forgive Saw things Saw things Saw things Saw things Clearer Clearer Once you were in my rear view mirror I gather speed from you, fucking with me Once and for all, I'm far away I hardly believe, finally the shades are raised Hey, yeah Saw things so much clearer Once you, once you Rear view mirror Saw things so much clearer Once you, once you Rear view mirror Saw things so much clearer Once you, once you Rear view mirror Saw things so much clearer Once you Oh yeah |

I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name Lifetimes are catching up with me All these changes taking place I wish I'd seen the place, but no one's ever taken me Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away I swear I recognize your breath Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising Me you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate Perhaps that's what no one wants to see I just wanna scream hello My god, it's been so long, never dreamed you'd return But now here you are, and here I am Hearts and thoughts, they fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts, they fade |

How does he do it? How do they do it? Uncanny and immutable
This is such a happening tailpipe of a party Like sugar, the guests are so refined A confidence man, but why so beleaguered? He's not a leader, he's a Texas leaguer Swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike Drilling for fear makes the job simple Born on third, thinks he got a triple Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way I remember when you sang That song about today Now it's tomorrow and Everything has changed A think tank of aloof multiplication A nicotine wish and a columbus decanter Retrenchment and hoggishness The aristocrat choir sings "What's the ruckus?" The haves have not a clue The immenseness of suffering And the odd negotiation, a rarity With onion-skin plausibility of life And a keyboard reaffirmation Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way I remember when you sang That song about today Now it's tomorrow and Everything has changed. |
