Euphoria 03:25
lyrics
buy track
I regret started to vent All cement To weigh your dents… And I recall You had to fall All because You drew it all in Now you see And now you see it If you only knew what’s inside Then you might sigh Excitement on the rise Euphoria is what we’re shooting for But if you ask It’s what you bargained for Passing cars are the only noise that disturbs tranquility… And Those who worked with him refer time and again to his calmness, and… If you only knew what’s inside Then you might sigh Excitement on the rise Euphoria is what we’re shooting for But if you ask It’s what you bargained for Piece of mind Is all we crave Way back in the Day when said, wait You've spent hours Looking for it I'm afraid that you can't find it I'm afraid that you can't find it If you only knew what’s inside Then you might sigh Excitement on the rise Euphoria is what we’re shooting for But if you ask It’s what you bargained for

Bummer 03:37

Yes you can fall up But you first fall down Otherwise you’re stuck in the middle Do you hear it too But can’t see through won’t let you until things are focused This has got to be the worst Bummer This has got to be the worst Summer When green leaves turn to brown you know It’s over This has got to be the worst Bummer Hush Nikolai Put that away There’s no need to show the people Rest where he lay As it didn’t play But we know what you are hiding This has got to be the worst Bummer This has got to be the worst Summer When green leaves turn to brown you know It’s over This has got to be the worst Bummer Please try to refrain From being insane After all we're just here to help you Please enjoy the ride Hands inside the whole time What a pleasure it’s been to serve you This has got to be the worst Bummer This has got to be the worst Summer When green leaves turn to brown you know It’s over This has got to be the worst Bummer Bummer Bummer Bummer Bummer

To Be Mine 02:25
lyrics
buy track
If you want to hear I find it hard to believe If you want I can heal your bones But then don’t throw stones Because I may be alone I reserve the right to be mine If you’re wondering Why the hell all the suffering Well you might as well bring out your clothes But then breathe through your nose Because I’m not the one who chose I reserve the right to be mine You’re on an island The sky is blue No need for wanting No need for you But if we take it Then you’ll be down The rest of us may be around When you’re done nudging The circus to be a three ring You’re never ever really satisfied Until somebody lied Because I’m not the one who chose I reserve the right to be mine I reserve the right to be mine

Flashbacks 02:48
lyrics

A wise dude once told me son Use your skills for only one I thought back and said that’s Stupid and you're holding one Flashbacks to a time ago When we were just simpletons I embrace exactly what my eyes balls told me When we get old And covered with mold And might a little bit hard of hearing you Hair is a mess and probably much less It just goes to show you what we used to do when we were in younger man‘s clothes G Man said a long time ago I could not find the brakes Jones I thought back and said That’s cool and not hurting anyone Move ahead just a few more years I was young and drinking beers We were horning everything That we could find at that time When we get old And covered with mold And might a little bit hard of hearing you Hair is a mess and probably much less It just goes to show you what we used to do when we were in younger man‘s clothes (We are made up of stars) Yes we really are Made of stars

He Never Does The Right Thing 03:30
lyrics
buy track
I’ll take a look at myself Cause I’m always trying to see what’s inside And I’ll take a page from your book But the pages seem to be upside down Everywhere it seems to change Yet everything around just looks the same It’s so Stand around and wait for Fall to come Winter passes by and you’re all done It’s so He never does the right thing But he always does things right I, I think I fell on my own It’s the sidewalk that gets me every time I’m better off in the road There’s no hills to climb or valleys too low Everywhere it seems to change Yet everything around just looks the same It’s so You stand around and wait for Fall to come Winter passes by and you’re all done It’s so He never does the right thing But he always does things right Everywhere it seems to change Yet everything around just looks the same It’s so You stand around and wait for Fall to come Winter passes by and you’re all done It’s so He never does the right thing

Red Pill 03:05
lyrics
buy track
Can we believe in what we see? Can we believe in what we see? I sure don’t think we can I’ll tell you why my friend Just look into some history What the hell are you harvesting? What the hell are you harvesting? Was hoping pees or corn Not something that would scorn It’s burned inside you can’t unsee Just cover your eyes with yo hand Or stick your head into the sand Or maybe open up one eye Then hold on Red pills in you now. You will not see me in that club You will not see me in that club It’s just for fancy cars Red shoes and tiki bars Those rituals are not me Just cover your eyes with your hand Or stick your head into the sand Or maybe open up one eye Then hold on Red pills in you now. Just cover your eyes with your hand Or stick your head into the sand Accessorize your mask with your clothes No particles up in your nose Or maybe open up one eye Then hold on Red pills in you now.

You Belong To Me 03:32
lyrics
buy track
Let’s start off now real slow But if it hurts then you can go So let’s at least all start to ask Then you’ll all be on the right track But if I choose I’ll shut you down And then you’ll be a sad face clown Then you’ll really want to know What did little Billy just say You belong to me Look inside to see You’ve changed to the core You belong to me I don’t really like to boast But am I the host with the most Their swimming free inside of me and Changing everything they see Yet How long will this feeling last I don’t know but it is a blast But If you start to feel low Then You can get another dose Exhilarating to be new Excruciating when your blue Ingratiating that you knew And Infiltrating like a flu So How long will this feeling last I don’t know but it is a blast And when he gets out of your cell You’ll hear little Billy tell you You belong to me Look inside to see You’ve changed to the core You belong to me I wish I knew Or had a clue Someone knows I know someone knows Hourglass is running low So let pick up where we will go And follow through is right you know The arrows good without a bow Games we played us and the man Sit right back trust in the plan Close your eyes with all your might Figure out what you may not know Better feeling conforming So why don’t you jump in the ring Then youll really feel the pound Of the whole system coming down Am I them or am I me Cause I Want all the world to see But stopped short of what is to come That’s Cause little Billy told me You belong to me Look inside to see You’ve changed to the core You belong to me

The Bond 03:02
lyrics
buy track
Night after night We still sit here and we’re talking Day after day We get up and we enjoy it - boy it’s great to be with you I am a desert - you are the rain I am the cause - you are the answer Angels were working hard the day they sent you to... Time after time - I’m amazed that you’re still with me You’ll hold the line - right at the time that I falter we ought to be just fine I am a desert - you are the rain I am the cause - you are the answer Angels were working hard the day they sent you to... I’m in the dark - you are the light I’m in the rain - you're the umbrella Keeping me safe from when I think the sky is falling You are the one - that makes up the sum You are my muse - my inspiration Ever so high we will climb together I am the cold - you are the hot In this house we - can freeze together I can’t think of anything else I would rather do
