Cut Me Some Slack
03:29
|

Fuck the past
I'm tired of looking back and dwelling
Cut me some slack
Cause it's my name and it's all the same
And I love the way
You comb your hair out of your face
And I won't be depressed
Starring in green eyes all day long
And I wake up drunk
And try my best to go to work
And I got a job
In the city close to my baby
She loves it when
We're sleeping in, in the same bed for the first time in weeks
I'm waking up with someone next to me
Next to me, next to me
Oh yeah
So you know the way
I smile when you enter a room
Is the same as when
I say that I love you
For as long as I can
Till my muscles cease to move
Lest I forget my name and yours too

Way It Goes
03:04

Aren't you worried about what comes next
Cause frankly It's easy to write off requests
You're different, you're special cause you know what's best
You don't wish to be judged, but you'll judge the rest
It's the way it goes
So what
Bah–bah oo–oo–oo–oo
You're not
Bah–Bah Oo–oo–oo–oo
What your parents
Bah–Bah Oo–oo–oo–oo
Hope that you would be
Bah–Bah Oo–oo–oo–oo
Smoking and tripping
Bah–Bah Oo–oo–oo–oo
Is all that you do
Bah–Bah Oo–oo–oo–oo
Where's all that tripping
Bah–Bah Oo–oo–oo–oo
Gotten you
Bah–Bah Oo–oo–oo–oo
You live your whole life all in your head
What can you say you've done before you're dead
You were a young boy who dreamed of success
Your dreams will never be, unless you progress
It's the way it goes
So what
Bah–bah oo–oo–oo–oo
You're not
Bah–Bah Oo–oo–oo–oo
What your parents
Bah–Bah Oo–oo–oo–oo
Hope that you would be
Bah–Bah Oo–oo–oo–oo
Smoking and tripping
Bah–Bah Oo–oo–oo–oo
Is all that you do
Bah–Bah Oo–oo–oo–oo
Where's all that tripping
Bah–Bah Oo–oo–oo–oo
Gotten you
Bah–Bah Oo–oo–oo–oo

Fragments of Infinity
04:56
|
|||
The natural course of ah, events
Responds with equivalent consequence
Or at least that's what you'd hope would happen
It's naive to expect but then again
The patterns are striking, you can't help but see the signs
The universal structures were so well designed
By whom though, no one knows but some may claim
It's part of infinity, all is one and one the same
Why do I feel alone?
Separated from the oversoul
Making it up as we go
Because we're dying to know
Collective consciousness
Is it real or fantasy at best
At best, at best
At best, at best
At best
At best, at best
At best
At best
At best
The eternal question has always been why
Are we here, why are we even alive
To see, to see, to see, with our eyes
As much as we can before we die
Or at the very least strive to be
Someone

Wide Awake
04:38
|
|||
I wasn't expecting to see you again
Not since you left your old earthly frame
It's oh so, so strange to hear your voice again
Even if it's burrowed deep inside my brain
We're sitting in the kitchen surrounded by the whole family
And I'm wondering, why you've come to see me
I'm over, overrun with feelings

Stand Your Ground
04:45
|

Out in the rain again
Bulldozers are closing in
Cause the highway's expanding
Best be on my way with my belongings
You're not wanted here, no you're not
Wanted here, no you're not
Wanted here, no you're not
Wanted here
I feel sunrise
Welcome warmth on my face
What's next will tie
My life force into place
Beggars and choosers, choosers of my fate
Winners and losers, all end up in the same place
Out in the streets again
Feel the heat closing in
Best stand your ground remembering
The lives they took
Baltimore's burning down
How many more in the ground
Ferguson's burning down
How many more
Won't feel sunrise
Welcome warmth on their face
What's next will tie
Our country's unsure fate
To human decency, or ignorance and hate
You best not confuse me, America's conscience is at stake

It's Just Us
07:04
|

Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know, don't you know
It's happening, happening
Happening, happening
Without you, without you
Without you, without you
It's my life, no one else
It's my life, no one else
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know, don't you know
I'm moving on, move right in
Moving on, move right in
Moving on, move right in
Moving on, move right in
Moving on, move right in
Moving on, move right in
What are you doing
There's work to be done
We've all got needs
Not the only one
We've all got something
Going on
It's all or nothing
From now on
It's all or nothing
From now on
Oh I confess I never pictured this
I can't speak for you, but I'll always be obsessed
With the vibrations from, my hands and my throat
It's what I'm meant to do, not something else
You're either with us now, or we'll move on with
Out on the road,
While you're back at home
You know it's just us, on our own
I've got my guitar, David's on his throne
Cause I wanna be, out every night
Cause I wanna be, out every night
I wanna be out every single night
Cause I wanna be out every single night
Cause I wanna be a single point of light
Hurtling forward all through the night
At night, at night
So you covered it, so you smothered it, so you covered it so you hide it away
So you covered it, so you smothered it, so you covered it so you hide it today
Existential crisis coming, head and heart voices which will lead the way
It's your life and your life only, don't let us get in your way
But as for me
I will never, I will never, I will never, I will never change
I will never, I will never, I will never, I will never change
I will never, I will never, I will never change

Dreams of Cro-Magnon
03:15
|
|||
My goals reflect my soul
My motives are always my own
I don't wanna harm and I don't want to hate
I aim to alarm with the things I create
Place my hands on the table
My work is never done
Show my scars in the stars
Labor of love
Connect the marks the paths of my fables
It's still being told
In pictures and pen marks and panels
The best has yet to come
When I illustrate my story
I saw my next creation in a dream
Early men standing on a mountain
An impossible peak, vantage point serine
Scope out their prey
They know the price his tusks will pay
A body a thousand mouths could feed
Lasting a hundred days, to sustain the whole tribe
They pray to their wooden gods
Singing let's make it through the winter
A sacred sacrifice
Singing let's make it through the winter
Pray to their wooden gods
Singing let's make it through the winter
Sacred sacrifice
Singing let's make it through the winter
To pass on their ancient genes

When I Cave
04:36
|

Change
My repertoire
'Cause baby
I'm meant for more
My timing
Is not always the best
To lay
These things to rest
Sowing the seed of change in me
Knowing the cost of maturity
'Cause I've been bad
And I've been good
Doing most of the things
That I know I should
But what about the rest
Severed ties, unfinished business
Growing up is hard but failure feels like shit
You best be better boy, or you're gonna
Pay for it
Change
My repertoire
'Cause baby
I'm meant for more
My timing
Is not always the best
To lay
These things to rest
When I proceed to lose some speed
I feel the claws digging into me
I'm overwhelmed, that's when I cave
Either comatose or I'm full of rage
Which one will it be by the end of the day
Well, hopefully neither but I really can't say
I'll fool you once and then they'll
Take me away
I swear this never happens
I'm lying through my teeth
I swear this never happens
I'm lying through my teeth
I swear this never happens
I'm lying through my teeth
I swear this never happens
I'm lying through my teeth

21 Days
05:07
|
|||
We got all this space
To move around
But the neighbors still say
We should keep it down
My unraveling sanity
Reality unwound
When the last of my family
Is six feet in the ground
Watch me lose control
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh oh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh oh
Ooh Oo–oo
Three weeks is all that it took
To see how hard my world could be shook
No use in saving the memories
Cause one day when I'm old they'll leave me
Every last thing
Must come to an end
So take some solace
In this my friend
When we die
Simply don't know
If everything ceases
To think and grow
We've got no control
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh oh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh oh
Ooh Oo–oo
Walk through my parents' door
Like I've done a thousand times or more
Feeling emotionally drained
And that's when I see the frames
Tears well up in my eyes
As I choke back my goodbyes
My world won't feel the same
Without the ones who share my name
