Privilege
Isn't it strange that a gift could be an enemy
Isn't it weird that a privilege could feel like a chore
Maybe its me, but this life isn't going anywhere
Maybe if we looked hard enough we could find a back door
Find yourself a back door I see you in line dragging your feet
You have my sympathy The day you were born you were born free
That is your privilege Isn't it strange that the man standing in front of me
Doesn't have a clue why he's waiting or what he's waiting for
Maybe its me but I'm sick of wasting energy
Maybe if I look in my heart, I can find a back a door Find yourself a back door
I see you in line dragging your feet You have my sympathy
The day you were born you were born free That is your That is your privilege
Find yourself a back door I see you in line dragging your feet
You have my sympathy The day you were born you were born free
That is your privilege I see you in line dragging your feet
You have my sympathy The day you were born you were born free That is your
That is your privilege

Nowhere Fast
Will I ever get to, to where it is that I am going
Will I ever follow through with what I... with what I have planned
I guess it's possible, that I have been a bit distracted
And the directions for me are a lot less in demand. In demand.
Will I ever get to where I'm going If I do will I know when I'm there
If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah Would I even care I would.
I take a look around, it's evident the scene has changed.
And there are times when I feel improved, improved upon the past.
And there are times when I can't seem to understand at all.
And yes it seems as though I'm going nowhere really fucking fast. Nowhere fast.
Will I ever get to where I'm going If I do will I know when Im there
If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah Would I even care I would.
I would. I would. Will I ever get to where I'm going
If I do, will I know when I am there
If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah Would I even care I would.
I would. I would. I would. I would.

Consequence
You blink and you miss a beat, keep one of your eyes open at all times
You think that your on the brink, the shit hasn't even begun to hit the fan
The consequence you'll see will be stranger than a gang of drunken mimes
The situation has a stink better clear the air before your son becomes a man
We all want something we know can not have...have
You think everything's been augmented that you have been left so far behind
I think for sure next time you should wear a pair of eyes in the back of your head
The consequence you've seen has been stranger than Sci-Fi of any kind
The situation baffles me, I guess its true you too are one of the walking dead
Better think fast, fast, cuz you never know what's coming round the bend
You better not blink, oh blink, the consequence is a bigger word than you think
Its bigger than you or me, You or me, You or me You or me
Better think fast, fast, cuz you never know what's coming round the bend
You better not blink, oh blink, the consequence is a bigger word than you think
Its bigger than you or me, You or me, You or me
Back to the list...

The Warmth
I'd like to close my eyes and go numb But there's a cold wind coming from
The top of the highest high rise today Its not a breeze cuz it blows hard
Yes and it wants me to discard the
The humanity I know, watched the warmth blow away
So don't let the world bring you down
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
Remember why you came and while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow old So do you think I should adhere
To that pressing new frontier And leave in my wake, a trail of fear
Should I hold my head up high And throw a wrench and spokes by
I'm leaving the air behind me clear So don't let the world bring you down
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
Remember why you came and while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow old So don't let the world bring you down
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
Remember why you came and while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow old Before you grow old
Back to the list...

When It Comes
It's coming around again They're letting it out again, again
It's coming around again They're letting it out again, again
It's coming around again They're letting it out again, again
It's coming around again They're letting it out again
When it comes, it comes abrupt
When it feels, it feels like trading brains with an imbecile For real
Yes I feel emphatic about not being static
And not buying philosophies that are sold to me, no, at a steal
Just when you thought, it was safe to think In comes mental piracy, and no
What I'm looking for (for) Can not be sold to me
I wish they all would stop trying
Cuz what I want, and what I need, is and will always be free
It's coming around again They're letting it out again, again
It's coming around again They're letting it out again
When it comes, it comes announced
And it feels like a matador is taunting me with his reddest red cloth
And I am the bull Yes I feel emphatic about not being static
And not eating the bullshit that's being fed to me Cuz now I'm full
Just when you thought, it was safe to think In comes mental piracy, and no
What I'm looking for (for) Can not be sold to me
I wish they all would stop trying
Cuz what I want, and what I need, is and will always be free It's coming around again They're letting it out again, again

Stellar
Meet me in outerspace We could spend the night, watch the earth come up
I've grown tired of that place, wont you come with me We could start again
How do you do it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, it's better than I ever knew Meet me in outerspace
I will hold you close, If your afraid of heights I need you to see this place,
It might be the only way That I can show you how, it feels to be inside of you
How do you it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, its better than I ever knew
How do you do it, make me feel like I do Do oh oh oh oh oh You are stellar
You are stellar How do you it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, its better than I ever knew
How do you do it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, make me feel like I do, Yeah.

Make Yourself
If I hadn't made me, I would've been made somehow
If I hadn't assembled myself, I'd have fallen apart by now
If I hadn't made me, I'd be more inclined to bow
Powers that be, would have swallowed me up But that's more than I can allow
Bow, aww yeah If you let them make you, they'll make you paper mache
At a distance you're strong, until the wind comes
Then you crumble and blow away
If you let them fuck you, there will be no fore-play
Rest assured, they'll screw you complete Til your ass is blue and gray
You should make amends with you If only for better health, better health
But if you really want to live Why not try, and make yourself Make yourself
Make yourself If I hadn't made me, I'd have fallen apart by now
I won't let them make me, It's more than I can allow
So when I make me, I won't be paper mache
And if I fuck me, I'll fuck me my own way POW, fuck me in my own way
POW, fuck me in my own way POW, fuck me in my own way Fuck me in my own way
You should make amends with you If only for better health, better health
But if you really want to live Why not try, and make yourself
Make yourself Make yourself Make yourself Make yourself
Back to the list...

Drive
Sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I cant help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague Haunting mass appeal
Lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive, oh oh
It's driven me before, it seems to be the way That everyone else get around
Lately, I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself, my light is found
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there
Would you choose water over wine Hold the wheel and drive
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there

Clean

Today, everything was fine fine fine
Until roundabout quarter to 9, suddenly I found myself in a bind, a bind
Was it something I said Something I read And manifest that's getting you down
Don't you dare come to bed with that ambiguous look in your eye
I'd sooner sleep by an open fire and wake up fried Say what u will
Say what you mean No, you could never offend
Your dirty words come out clean, clean Tomorrow, what price will I pay
Could I make it all up to you by serving coffee for two in bed,
Would you then give me the time of day?
I need a map of your head, translated into English
So I can learn to not make you frown Feel better if you vent,
Put your frustrations into four letter words And let them out on mine
The most weathered ears in town! Say what you will Say what you mean
No, you could never offend Your dirty words come out clean Clean (x6)
Say what you will Say what you mean No, you could never offend
Your dirty words come out clean Say what you will Say what you mean
No, you could never offend Your dirty words come out clean, clean

I Miss You
To see you when I wake up, is a gift I didn't think could be real
To know that you feel the same, as I do, is a Three-fold utopian dream
You do something to me That I can't explain So would I be out of line,
If I said I miss you. I see your picture, I smell your skin on,
The empty pillow next to mine
You have only been gone ten days, but already I am wasting away
I know I'll see you again Whether far or soon
But I need you to know, that I care And I miss youTo see you when I wake up, is a gift I didn't think could be real
To know that you feel the same, as I do, is a Three-fold utopian dream
You do something to me That I can't explain So would I be out of line,
If I said I miss you. I see your picture, I smell your skin on,
The empty pillow next to mine
You have only been gone ten days, but already I am wasting away
I know I'll see you again Whether far or soon
But I need you to know, that I care And I miss you
Back to the list...

Pardon Me
Pardon me while I burst Pardon me while I burst
A decade ago, I never thought I would be.
A twenty three on the verge of spontaneous combustion woe is me
But I guess that it comes with the territory.
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity. I need you to hear.
I need you to see. That I have had all I can take
And exploding seems like a definite possibility to me
So Pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and its people's mindless games
So Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame Pardon me, pardon me.
I'll never be the same. Not two days ago I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees I said I can relate
Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication as a welcomed vacation from.
The burdens of the planet earth,
Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D...
And thinking so much differently. Pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and its people's mindless games
Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame Pardon me, pardon me.
I'll never be the same. Never be the same...yeah.
Pardon me while I burst into flames. Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.
So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame Pardon me, pardon me.
I'll never be the same. Pardon me, never be the same. Yeah

Out From Under
To resist is to piss in the wind, anyone who does will end up smelling
Knowing this why do I defy Cuz my inner voice is yelling
There is a fist pressing against, anyone who thinks something compelling
Our intuit we're taught to deny And our soul we're told is for selling
Get out from under them Resist and multiply Get out from under precipice
Bless and see the sky
