Wilted Flowers
03:36
|
|||
|
quick walk
short ride
I was stuck
stuck inside
you made me wonder
what I could've done
you made me worry
was I the only one?
abandoned once
turned down twice
you take everything
but your own advice
so block me out
forget my name
do the wilted flowers
still remain?

Why Should I Worry?
02:58
|
|||
|
why should I worry?
or speed things up?
it's no real hurry
I've seen enough
birds in the trees
thoughts down the street
friendly faces
that I'll never meet
why should I worry?
or slow things down?
you've passed away
no longer around
when I'm buried
for all to see
will you still love me?
will you finally leave?

Getting Lost (Reprise)
04:41
|
|||
|
getting lost
in your warmth
seeing you
for what you are
easy to be
understood
easy to form with you
in a delicate mold
who is gone
with me to stay?
second chances
in a smokey haze
all the wrongs
in the world
melt with your voice
were you here
all along?
did i have a
choice?

A Lost Face
02:37
|
|||
|
a lost face
in a filter bank
up a steep steep hill
on an empty tank
deleted posts
pent up fear
a broken wheel
you cannot steer
save it for
when there's
nothing more
I can't open that door
you've gotta do it for yourself not me
you say there's nothing left
but eternal regret
I hope you don't forget
do it for yourself not me
a well oiled train
with no pain
they say he's sane
is it all the same?
the crowded arms
the poisoned farms
they feed your demise
no seed will ever rise
save it for
when there's nothing more
I can't open that door
you gotta do it for yourself not me
you say there's nothing left
but emptiness
I hope you don't forget
do it for yourself not me

It's Not Too Late
03:15
|
|||
|
we see them trying
to make it through
their voices crying
to make a new
the troubled people
pushed by the side
a roller coaster
a sure death ride
spare one
spare a few
bit off more than you
could chew
(open your eyes
see something new)
let's split the atom
veto the vote
threaten their powers
and what they wrote
dethrone these evils
poison their food
false contemplation
false gratitude
take it back
its not too late
what they once loved
now they hate

Set in Your Ways
04:18
|
|||
|
do you realize?
do you understand?
wasn't meant to be like this
wasn't part of the plan
we're just floating by
all through our lives
but you're set in your ways
thick smoke
hair of grey
days turn like years
friends say their goodbyes
do you understand?
do you realize?

Count the Days
02:15
|
|||
|
where are you?
and where am I?
you're in the dirt
or in the sky?
it's getting late
and I feel ill
you're moving fast
I'm standing still
but you want
what I can't give
count the days
I should've lived
where am I?
where are you?
I'm standing by
you're looking through
it's late again
I feel the chill
I'm stuck in mud
you've lost the thrill
you want
to hold my hand
find a way
to understand
to leave the sea of fear
all you need
is me near

I Don't Care to Grow Old
05:34
|
|||
|
I don't care to grow old
I don't wanna be
bitter tired and cold
my smile's disappeared
where should I look
to find it?
destroy me destroy yourself
you're losing time
you're losing health
let me out let me escape
it's better sooner than late
I don't care to grow old
I don't wanna know
everything I love will go
into the below
scrolled an endless sea
where everyone looks so pretty
down the hole down the feed
selling things we want
but we'll never need

Break Apart (Form Again)
04:49
|
|||
|
I've heard
in my dreams
a high branch
a fallen tree
give me what I've earned
we will never learn
break apart
form again
the devil's here
don't let him in
amor vincit omnia
dies irae
yourluv
I\ve seen
black sheep
missiles that
hide and seek
a sweet voice
followed me
separated by
a Laurel tree
no more
farewell
we\re in prison
manmade hell

Putdown
03:04
|
|||
|
a putdown
needs no supervision
presentable, superstition
an urban syndrome
while we fall asleep
enticed by the puppets we keep
ecosystem collapse
self-inflicted heart attack
actions you can't take back
two-faced hypochondriac
wondering where you're at
all the while
and for a while you feel fine
reminders daily
be on time
reciting lines at display
it's all been taken
how will you pay?
jumping off
just to get back on
forgotten lyrics to
your----
they close your mouth
just so they can speak freely
these toxic minds
surely need most healing
take a moment and count the days
a final chance to change your ways
i can't be here when you need me
move ahead and take the lead
