Ok
Yeah! Yeah we gotta think back before we were paralyzed.
We gotta look it in the eye and -
Try again to realize. Hey.
You know, it’s better you say,
“Well man, I’m leaving just in time to catch the joke.”
Bet you ain’t ever seen it broke.
Hell yeah,
Hey, am I late to the party?
Been seeing all my baddies and shorties say their dreams have all but -
Left them in the smoke.
I say it’s good for you.
You either catch it,
Or you make another bother;
An attempt to grow.
We’re thinking from the gut. Wow.
If you didn’t have a reason,
Then, you have a reason now.
God bless that Devil. (Whoa)
You gotta mean it cause
Damn (Damn), what’s the plan? (Hey)
Yeah, you gotta be fast.
What you give won’t take away.
You gotta mean it cause
Damn (Damn), I’m a fan, (Hey)
Of a movin’ van,
What you give won’t take away.
Well mutha fucka,
If I wanted to - I would do -
All that you - Got into -
And thought was my truth
Yeah we could melt into the night sky,
Or dream into a daze.
Yeah we could take control of our own fate.
If you weren’t here,
Then, I’d still be OK!
Yeah, I gotta think back to when I was a little child.
I gotta Shake it up. Bake it up. And shove it in my mouth.
I gotta (Figure it Out) Figure it Out -Figure it Out~
Sometimes it’s better to say.
“Hey man what you’re sayin’ is about- as right- as you’d like to believe.”
Didn’t know- this is how you’d come to feel.
Hell no,
I’m always late to the party
Been seein all my kings and thotties
Say they’d used up all they’d hidden up their sleeves
I say it's alright now.
You either think about
Let it go
Or try to stop from actin out
We’re thinking from the gut. Wow
If you didn't have a reason
Well you got a reason now
God bless that Devil. (Whoa)
You gotta mean it cause
Damn (Damn), what’s the plan? (Hey)
Yeah, you gotta be fast.
What you give won’t take away.
You gotta mean it cause,
Damn (Damn), I’m a fan, (Hey)
Of a movin’ van,
What you give won’t take away.
Well mutha fucka,
If I wanted to - I would do -
All that you - Got into -
And thought was my truth
Yeah we could melt into the night sky,
Or dream into a daze.
Yeah we could take control of our own fate.
If you weren’t here,
Then, I’d still be OK!
I’ll say, I made it to be okay.
I’ll say, I made it TO BE OK.
I don’t see the meaning in needing to feel like I’ve been lost,
And I don’t gotta stop at the bar even though it comes to a halt.
- This time I’ll try to provide myself with some entertainment
Just as much as I need to hustle, I need to go all out
God bless that devil. (Whoa)
You gotta mean it cause
Damn, what’s the plan?
Yeah, you gotta be fast.
What you give won’t take away.
You gotta mean it cause,
Damn, I’m a fan,
Of a movin’ van,
What you give won’t take away.
You gotta mean it cause
Damn, what’s the plan?
Yeah, you gotta be fast.
What you give won’t take away.
You gotta mean it cause,
Damn, I’m a fan,
Of a movin’ van,
What you give won’t take away.
Well mutha fucka,
If I wanted to - I would do -
All that you - Got into -
And thought was my truth
Yeah we could melt into the night sky,
Or dream into a daze.
Yeah we could take control of our own fate.
If you weren’t here,
Then, I’d still be OK!
Not Ok
I set my life on all the things that couldn’t be,
And it’s breaking me down.
I set my mind on all the things that I couldn’t see,
And there’s a lot of that seeing.
I set my life on all the things that are falling apart,
And it’s gotten a hold of me.
I set my life. I set my life.
I’m not okay.
I’m not okay.
I’m not okay.
And something’s not right here.
These days have gone...out of sync.
I set my life on mistakes that I might have made,
And I let it define me.
I set my mind on simple understandings of the world.
Who’s to blame?
These days have gone so dry.
I set my life. I set my life.
I’m not okay.
I’m not okay.
I’m not okay.
And something’s not right here.
These days have gone...out of sync.
Lay it down on me.
Fire stone builds my castles.
Lay it down on me.
Bring war to my walls.
Lay it down on me.
Flood the goddamned river.
Lay it down on me.
Lay it down on me.
I set my life on people that thought of me,
In diminishing description.
I set my mind on dreams of grandeur,
In a state of shock.
These days have gone so dry.
But I set my life on anything and everything,
That gives me purpose.
I’m not okay.
I’m not okay.
I’m not okay.
And something’s not right here.
These days have gone...out of sync.
Rain falls down on my heart.
Idealist
He believes in everything.
He believes in everything;
That time had given him cause.
He might not know it now or then,
But here's to trying again -
To find the way-
To all the possibilities in the thoroughfare.
Two ways for him to see the morning afterglow
Beyond the horizon.
'Cause I'm idealistic in my views.
Well, I've searched the cosmos for the truth.
One hundred thousand miles beyond the sky.
He believes in what's before him.
It's a silver lining shadow umbra.
What is life?
What is hate?
What is fear and what is fate?
I'm an idealist just reaching for-
A new beginning.
And it won't matter if I am right-
Or wrong.
See I've been living day to day.
And along the way I learned-
There's a little bit more to the truth.
But if this were.
If this were an idealistic world.
Then love would be free.
Cheers to happiness.
Cheers to pain.
Cheers to the new year.
Cheers to sunshine.
And the rain.
Cheers to the new year.
He believes in everything.
He believes in everything;

And it won't matter if I am right or wrong.
See I've been living day to day,
And along the way, I've learned-
There's a little bit more to the truth.

If this were an idealistic world.
Then love would be free.
Cheers to happiness.
Cheers to pain.
Cheers to the new year.

Cheers tot he new year.
But if this were...
If this were an idealistic world,
Then love would be free.
Anywhere
Without You
When the light
Has found a way
To leave the surface of the sun
I find myself
Another way
To see the way before the dawn
Even though I can be anywhere without you -
I choose here.
Where the shore meets the sea;
Where the pain sees the reverie;
Where my words are as pretty as can be.
Even though I can be anywhere without you -
I choose here.
Where we're full of joy;
Where the law chased the renegade;
Where my fears are no longer with me.
(How can I return the light)
Braving the dark
I've fought and I've lost
Rose from the ground
Lived how I want
Now to the future
I reach for the stars
(Still I can't know.)
Even though I can be anywhere without you -
I choose here.
Where the shore meets the sea;
Where the pain sees the reverie;
Where my words are as pretty as can be.
Even though I can be anywhere without you -
I choose here.
Where we're full of joy;
Where the law chased the renegade;
Where my fears are no longer with me.
When the light
Has found a way
To leave the surface of the sun
I find myself
Another way
To see the way before the dawn
In The Newness
of Now
In the Newness of Now
What challenges you've faced before
Are behind you
In the newness of now
What candlelight may bring
A feeling so jolly
And though life's gifts- they come and go
You've made your wishes for the New Year
In the newness now
You're on holiday
Laughin and singin
And dancin and playin;
Huggin and missin
And jokin and wishin
For all that I wanted
And all that I'm givin to
You
Eyes to the night sky
Yey unto the stars above
Vast be the cosmos
Still are we the ones who call
In the newness of now
Evergreen and white
Counting your blessings
Here I find myself at home
If you seek it
Joy may come to you
What kind of holiday is there this time to say
I've gone from-
Stressing and worrying
To marveling the lights and the care
What kind of holiday is there this time to say
I've learned so much-
And I'm starting anew
And I see the next chapter
Though life's gifts- they come and go
I've made my wishes for the New Year
In the newness now
I'm passing by
Laughin and singin
And dancin and playin;
Huggin and missin
And jokin and wishin
For all that I wanted
And all that I'm givin to
You
Eyes to the night sky
Yey unto the stars above
Vast be the cosmos
Still are we the ones who call
The newness of now
Evergreen and white
Counting your blessings
Here I find myself at home
If you seek it
Joy may come to you
If you seek it
Joy may come to you
Ocean
I stretch my arms up high into the atmosphere.
What trouble brings you here, sweet by and by?
I stretch my arms up high into the atmosphere.
What trouble brings you here, sweet by and by?
Everybody knows where you've been -
Where you're going.
They can see the light from afar -
They just know it.
Said a lot of things in confidence.
You're growing at a tempestuous pace.
I stretch my arms high as flowers -
Reaching for warmth and purpose.
Even now, I take to the sea.
Fierce as zephyr -
I try to find my shoreline.
Living ain' easy.
I hear lullabies.
I'm fading in midnight hideaways.
How I wish I'd heard it louder -
Pulled the veil from my eyes.
I set out on my own.
I'm dreaming - seeing monotone.
How beautiful.
I stretch my arms high as flowers -
Reaching for warmth and purpose.
Even now, I take to the sea.
Fierce as zephyr -
I try to find my shoreline.
Living ain' easy.
I call it out.
I'm reaching for clarity.
Cloud me no more and let my ship through.
Honestly I don't know where I'm going.
But I try.
I stretch my arms up high into the atmosphere.
What trouble brings you here, sweet by and by?
Reverie
If I were ever really gonna be,
I'd be the one who started.
From sometime ago,
I'd lost myself.
In a gradient of yellow-green,
Put back the other puzzle.
Or I'll lose again,
And I won't mind.
"I've died a hundred times it seems,"
Said the man who could have seen right through me.
Said, "I've lived this kind of life for me."
But it seems my world would end.
"I've got this river flowing through me."
"I've paid my way. So let it carry me."
Yeah
The other day, I sat and thought about the seasons.
How will I fair.
Will serendipity find my hand,
And tell me that it's worth it.
Rolling fades in calm reflection;
A soliloquy becomes one with the falls.
I wash up and steady myself in routine.
Cause I've tried a thousand times you know,
He sat there just listening to me.
I gotta just live this life for me.
And for this world I've got to know,
Why this river, flowing through me,
Paid its way and still relents to me.
Yeah.
Pitter patter pitter patter
One who motions forward, forward
Why set a course along Paraná
Through the south of my knowledge
Woe. Don't get carried away.
In my eyes, this is nothing short of freedom.
And I can't explain anymore
Cause all that is words that say no more
Who tells me what defines that freedom?
This river flowing through me
I can't pay with all that left inside me.
Yeah I'd hide away a million times from it all
Annihilating the pressure of the modern world
But it's not ingeniously letting go of this world.
No I'm preparing for it all.
Rivers flowing through me.
Each day, I find a part of me.
Yeah. Yeah.
Mangroves
Evening wastes away.
We are shorelines and barriers to sea.
Evening wastes away.
Compromises effecting what's there.
Evening slips away.
Wounds by and farewells -
Decaying our thoughts.
And the young ones go marching henceforth.
One can hardly understand who is and who isn't.
Light the flow. Mind the dream.
Stay your course.
Breaking down. Building up.
Either way return.
One can hardly understand all.
Evening always slips away.
And it's hard to think when the green -
Means our hearts -
Our burdens stain.
One can hardly understand who is and who isn't.
Light the flow. Mind the dream.
Stay your course.
Breaking down. Building up.
Either way return.
One can hardly understand all.
In the thicket,
She find her mourn.
Oh we are called by the twilight.
If one can believe in all.
I can hardly understand. I am who I've become.
Light the flow. Mind the dream.
Stay your course.
Breaking down. Building up.
Either way return.
One can hardly understand all.
GONE
You’re a piece of shit and I can’t believe it
In the time it takes to know you I’m already lost
It’s a stand against my infuriation - I know
Because I’m right when I’m wrong
And I’m wrong when I’m right
My prerogative to shout and scream
Might fall on deafened ears
Not a chance I’m in that abstract class
Barin’ insecurities
Last chance to take it back
I want it back
Last time to see this place
I wanna know my place
Last call to Las Vegas Boulevard
Lest I am gone
You’re a piece of shit and you’re foolin’ no one
One minute you’re here and the next you’re gone
You got a tendency to tell me lies - I know
Because I’m right when I’m wrong
And I’m wrong when I’m right
What propaganda can they throw at me
Might just fall on deafened ears
What you see ain’t a mirage of me
Barin’ insecurities
We’re illusive renegades.
And we bribe our lives until the everglades
Are a niche for whichever one remains - aloof
Cycling the retrograde
And the tattered ropes that broke -
From someone’s weight
Is a calling - a wanting for love
But you’re a piece of shit and I can’t believe it
Last chance to take it back
I want it back
Last time to see this place
I wanna know my place
Last call to Las Vegas Boulevard
Lest I am gone
Last chance to take it back
I want it back
Last time to see this place
I wanna know my place
Last call to Las Vegas Boulevard
Lest I am gone
SADIE
Sadie wants what she wants.
Sadie goes where she goes.
Sadie does what she needs.
And I don’t even care about her.
Sadie calls who she wants.
Sadie leaves. She just goes.
Sadie chose to forget.
And I don’t even care about her.
Sadie plays by her rules.
Sadie’s always so cool.
Sadie knows what I want.
But I don't even care about her.
Sadie meets with her friends.
Sadie’s got the moxy.
Sadie never forgets.
But I don't even care about her.
Once in awhile,
It's a spark of the eye; flick of the wrist.
Twice a look back,
It's a shot in the gut; stuck in a rut.
But I wasn't ready.
Sadie’s a sadist.
I love the way she makes me feel.
I can’t explain.
I love it when I’m shaking.
I think I like the pain.
I love it in her voice.
I somehow come alive.
I love the lonely nights.
I think I like the game.
You will state your sins and confess to the rebellion -
Against no one’s will,
Watching the suffering of the universe -
At the palms of your hands.
When your elements break laws -
Rip with judgemental flaws,
Sadie, you’re a sadist,
And you pleasure yourself with human suffering.
Pray.
Sadie's got it all down.
Sadie makes her own cash.
Sadie likes to get drunk.
But I don't even care about her.
Sadie likes to go out.
Sadie's figured it out.
Sadie struts like a fox.
But I don't even care about her.
Once in awhile,
It's a spark of the eye; flick of the wrist.

MR. WIZARD
I bring the sweets
And then you bring the wine
I bring the meat
And then you bring the heat
I bring the peaches
And you got the cream
I bring the story
And you tell everyone
I bring the laughter
And you start to laugh
I bring attention
And you pull me close
I bring attention
And you don't let go
I bring attention
And you don't let go
Lookin at you
Lookin at me
Lookin at us
Lookin at them
Half past 10 at Night
Ah ah ah, Ah ah ah
Pour another drink
Ah ah ah, Ah ah
I gotta say my hellos
Ah ah ah, Ah ah
I make my way through the crowd
Ah ah ah, Ah
Mr. Wizard cast your spell for me.
Make me a better plan.
Ah ah ah.
I bring the vodka
And you bring the schnapps
I bring the Baileys
And Sambuca go
I'm only free for the night
Said I'm only free for tonight
I'm a burning phoenix born again
I bring the setting
And you bring the mood
I bring the feeling
And you bring it neat
I'm only free if you play
Said I'm only free when you play
I'm a high level player in this game
If this is a high then -
Why can I still feel everything?
Is this my high?
Quarter past one in the morn
Ah ah ah, Ah ah ah
Pour some hard liquor
Ah ah ah, Ah ah
I gotta say what's on my mind
Ah ah ah, Ah ah
I dance onto the stage
ah ah ah, Ah
Mr. Wizard cast that spell for me.
Make it a better plan.
Ah ah ah.
If this is a high then -
Why can I still feel everything?
Is this my high?
I'm on the floor.
Lookin at you
Lookin at me
Lookin at us
Lookin at them
Take me out again
Mister Wizard cast your spell for me
Make me a better plan
Ah ah ah.
FOLLOW ME
Heaven followed me.
She must have followed me.
I'm on this road of regret and remorse but
I've got her company.
Heaven followed me
He must have followed me.
When the time has come and gone
He leaves a prayer for me.
I've been taught how to love hate
Excepting dictating not answering
All the questions I had
Miseducated me
Slept with knives, I
I slept with knives under my head
Hoping soundly I would leave
Someday
But who are you standing behind me
Tell me again how the tides of the magnet moon
Pull at my strength
And follow me
Heaven follow me
You've gotta follow me
Jaded cynical listless and heartless
Nothing but fear I breathe
Slept with knives, I
I slept with knives under my head
Hoping soundly I would leave
Someday
But who are you standing behind me
Tell me again how the tides of the magnet moon
Pull at my strength
And follow me
Pretty little words set free.
Slept with knives, I
I slept with knives under my head
Hoping soundly I would leave
Someday
But who are you standing behind me
Tell me again how the tides of the magnet moon
Pull at my strength
And follow me
NOT ENOUGH
I wanna be who I thought I loved
Just a minute ago
But life has a way
Of only taking all that I'd been dreamin of
Because I
Fight what's right
I fight for the wrong in things
I lie to myself
I lie for the simple things
I do what I want
I only look straight ahead
And don't see what's happening
Is this all there is?
Give me somethin' more
Living is less than bliss
Oh~!
Sometimes all the people you believe in
They use what they want
He takes all my everything
Then all that time I spent
I’ve just wasted
So where do I go
Just what am I thinking when
Too much ain’t enough
I wanna be who I thought I knew
Just a minute ago
But somehow anyway,
I’m looking at a wall of doubt of who I was
Because they
Told me so
They told me that I’m worthless
And they control you
They control all the media
They do what they want
They only look straight ahead
And don’t care about us
Is this all there is?
Give me somethin' more
Living is less than bliss
Oh~!
Sometimes all the people you believe in
They use what they want
He takes all my everything
Then all that time I spent
I’ve just wasted
So where do I go
Just what am I thinking when
Too much ain’t enough
Reach out to the atmosphere
And take what you see
Speak of the ether in which life trancedes
Hold onto the oneness and endure drudgery
One day you’ll be jeweled
And all that’s clear will come to be
Is this all there is?
There must be something more
Living is less than bliss
Oh~
Not so quietly
I shake away the madness
Take it all from me
Oh~
Sometimes all the people you believed in
They use what they want
Desert and forget me
‘Cause what you do
Is everything you’re made of
And too much ain’t enough
FIGHT THE PAIN
FIGHT THE HATE
FIGHT THE DARKNESS THAT WE LIVE IN
