Track Name: Car Crash
In the silence
I swear my body grows.
It unfolds into the ground.

Buy the ticket
Then take the ride.
You'll be glad you didn't stay inside.

Come on...
To the places where happiness hides.

I feel my feelings
5 years too late.
Who could have known what we'd become?

And don't pretend you know the answer
I can see it in your eyes.
Let's just sit back and enjoy these lives.

Come on...
To the places where happiness hides.
Track Name: We'll Never Die
I wanna tell you that we're all gonna be high.
I wanna tell you that the truth is in the sky.
I wanna tell you that our parents never lied.
I wanna tell you -
We'll never die.

I wanna tell you that there's nothing left to fear.
I wanna tell you that a smile is worth a tear.
I wanna tell you that you'll never have to care.
I wanna tell you -
We'll never die.

Every year's a better year,
All the darkest parts will disappear.

We'll never die.
Track Name: Not You
It's a long way to lose yourself,
And a long way back.
So if you don't have the time,
Then don't waste it.

But if you've got the time,
You've got a way.

It's a hard thing to lose a self,
And it won't come back.
So if you can't take the blame,
Then don't face it.

But if you've got the time,
You've got a way.
Track Name: You
Had hope once
A chance to hold on
These tender touches
Couldn't hold it very long
The lake filled up
The drought left town
I sat in its car while it all went down
Lost it on a child's dare

So why am I alive?

80 miles an hour
Driving down desert land
Travelling salesman
Remembering again
The game is up
It's gone too long
Life moves past if you fail to move on
Lost it in an old man's stare

So why am I alive?

I sat and stared and thought too much
I spent my nights in a wanderlust
Till fate too me and made me look
You caught my eye gifted your touch
And I found my purpose right there

So why am I alive?
You
Track Name: Turning Around
You were my long white cloud
Deep in the summer
Winter was heartbreak
You were the cure

Taking the long road
You were my ride home
Once lost in gutters
No longer alone

You were my bad luck, turning around

Stars in the nighttime
Warmth in the sunshine
You were my future
Coming on time

You were my bad luck, turning around
Track Name: Hurricane Cocaine
Like a well worn shoe
I might be worthless but I keep my meaning to you
So you keep me around
Don't let me die though I fear it may be my time to

Hurricane cocaine could kill me

Never thought I'd be a keeper
Never thought I'd be the painting of a daydream in my life
I've been wracked with paranoia
I've been destroyed by diseases that were borne inside my mind
But with you by me
Helping me through these hypochondriacal times I can survive

Hurricane cocaine can't kill me
Track Name: Companion Animal
wimpered barking
pulled along
tell me how your life goes on
held by hovering
souls above
hoping hope will be enough

we know that it can be hard
to be a companion animal

strangled strangers
sing your songs
looking for others to sing along
just don't hold
your breath too long
true empathy is a very rare trait

we know that it can be hard
to be a companion animal
Track Name: Eclipse
Hold me
Memory
You see
Where I'm going
You mean
Everything
And give back
All I had before

Moving
Escaping
Growing
Entropy that is
Eclipsing
All I can't ignore

I took a look
And it took me under
There's no recover...
Track Name: Loneliest Revolution
How were we all born to be masters
Maybe we were meant to be nature's pets
Maybe we were born to be poets
Maybe we were meant to be marionettes
-
From our bunkers in Brooklyn
To Blythe, California
We try to give love that'll always warm
-
In the loneliest revolution
Trying to grow up and connect with the other people
out there
In the loneliest revolution
Maybe you know what i'm talking about
and if you do
you know me well
-
We're all on the same side of a different street
Everybody's trying to find ecstasy
Some of us will get to taste honey
Some of us will be choking on defeat
-
So we get into the cars that were pre-ordained for us
Join the working masses and forget the dreams
That had been before us
-
In the loneliest revolution
Trying to grow up and connect with the other people
out there
In the loneliest revolution
Maybe you know what I'm talking about
And if you do.....
Track Name: Unsouled
Thank God I saw it on a TV screen
My soul doesn't just belong to this world
My soul goes somewhere much different than that

Stuck sideways in a salvian grip
A fine moment to catch a glimpse
Of myself from places that I rarely see
Sometimes I swear I can see anything
Track Name: Redbird Hollow
Hey, hear your memories
Out of tune, fading too soon
Where did they go
Took a ride
Deep inside
Or did they
Scurry out
Floating out
Like a soul wood
Down the stream
In redbird hollow
I know I'll follow
With time
Because...

What I have inside of me
Is what you have inside of you
It's just life
What I have inside of me
Is what you have inside of you

It makes me smile
Once in awhile
Just to know
We're both in it
Track Name: Anthem to the Sun
With ringing ears
We're ringing in the new year
The highs and lows
The comes and goes
Everything's so near
From childhood friends
to rat bastards
Everyone is here...
There is no waiting...
-
Us chosen few
Given this view
Get a future feel
Give out or steal
the potential's real
If we make it real
The fun we've had
And the next we'll have
It is in our hands
-
There is no waiting
So stop waiting
And start wailing...
-
I wanna sing an anthem to the sun
I, I, I wanna sing an anthem to the sun
I, I, I wanna sing an anthem
To the new born sun
-
This anthem sung is a battle won
For the year....
Track Name: Golden Tower
This is heaven's daughter
She can make the clouds leak water
Anything can haunt her
Just below the surface
I can breathe with brand new purpose
-
You thought that life would pass you by again
You thought that youth would not greet you again
You thought that once was all you got
-
I cannot forget her
She is like an apple winter
I can catch a fever, now
This is my possession
Please don't change the situation
-
You thought that life would pass you by again
You thought that youth would not greet you again
You thought that once was all you got
-
Golden tower
Beacon of soul
Bring me back to my old home.
City center
Hold me higher
Bring me back my life, my friends
-
You thought that life would pass you by again
You thought that youth would not greet you again
You thought that once was all you got
-
See my eyes
It could happen again
In a life
It could happen again
Track Name: High High Hill
Keep the freakout within your skin
Inside the times that we were given
Please, mother of reality
It can't be nothing or eternity -
We are waiting...
-
On a high high hill
On a bright big day
We'll come to take you back again
-
Help, calm the question creeping deep in me
I'm just a child trying to believe -
My mind is tired...
-
On a high high hill
On a bright big day
We'll come to take you back again
Track Name: A Little Thing
Slow sinking death...
It's not a little thing to ever catch your breath,
'Cause you're a little thing.

Inside the broken mirror,
Open hearted,
Close your fear of death.

Your life...
You're a little thing.

Take a deep breath.
It's not a little thing,
That this won't be your last.

'Cause you're a little thing
