There's a storm on the horizon
a supercell bringing black rain
there's no reason to confide in
where parent leaves their child in pain.
I pledge allegiance to all the people,
a generation to raise the dead,
tell our fathers we'll keep fighting,
tell our mothers we'll die men.
The corporate heroes have their sponsors
wave their flags around their heads
turning children into monsters
the federation paints us red.
I pledge allegiance to all the people,
a generation to raise the dead,
tell our fathers we'll keep fighting,
tell our mothers we'll die men.

Spinning Wheel
03:05
|

|
Goodnight it's over
taken down and passed around, all of my dignity
Feeling so sober
inside my mind, knowing the enemy
So take this party to go
you're better off alone
Moonshine passed over
breaking night into day, all that's left is washed away
Making me more than clean
devil's eyes to my surprise, spinning wheel in disguise
So take this party to go
You're better off alone
So then next time you're high
remember a time we were the same, we were the same
Now desire is denied, we cannot rely on the blame
ohh, ohh, ohh
Spinning wheel goes round and round
So take this party to go
You're better off alone

Flow On
03:13
|

|
I got love, you got hate, you got envy, you got greed
you got a little war, I got peace
it's just a dirty little lie you breathe
I'm just the opposite of what you are, never be exactly what you want
just around the corner I'll be wrong
saying all the words that didn't belong
You gotta flow all on with all the rhythm and the sun and the love
even though we see the world as evil
You got cuts, I got scrapes, you got freedom, you got dismay
you seem a little torn from day to day
from all the petty things that people say
you're just fake, I’m just fate, you're in vain and I'm a saint
you're the stain that I wash away
cause tomorrows another day
Chorus
Got to keep yer chin got to look up
cause this is the only one
so let's make it good
You got rich, I got poor, you got saved but I got more
you got sickness and I got health
drop to your knees and now you're pleading for help
you got rage, I’m unphased
you're really lost, and I'm right in place
must be stuck, so set in your ways
you politics and devils all one in the same
Chorus

Mastermind

So if tonight was the last of your life
and everything was lost and gone forever
too much to turn around
to watch it all go down
a memory is what you left me
only the mastermind,
mind, mind, mind the mastermind
what happened to the wave of the future
we're building castles made of sand
and I don't think they really understand
mastermind the situation
no winning game
policize the world and harness
we bear the pain
embrace the liberation
it's all bound to take shape
so make haste, take pride, take heart, take love, take aim, and live on
only the mastermind,
mind, mind, mind the mastermind
what happened to the wave of the future
we're building castles made of sand
and I don't think they really understand
Let's pull together, fight this weather
rediscover what's around
we'll break the waves and take a stance
to reinvent ourselves, now's our chance
only the mastermind,
mind, mind, mind the mastermind
what happened to the wave of the future
we're building castles made of sand
and I don't think they really understand

Laughter

I drink with jimmy his wife took home the car
starts in the family things gone a little too far
He's having trouble finding who he is
when someone interrupts and asks
do you have kids
ooh, were we talking to you (were we talking to you)
ooh, do you really care
before it's all over, before it's all set in stone
before there's a fat woman crying
I hope you felt me, fall in love
and turn tears into laughter
Jimmy's, Julie is at home in the sheets
with someone daddy will never meet
She makes love with one eye on t.v.
and screams at commercial
why did this happen to me
Ooh, was tv talking to you,
Ooh, do you really care
Chorus
until, it tears in two (until the tears into)
until the tears into laughter

Today
03:17
|

|
Today is taken away, paint it black can't have it back, the feelings yesterday
Some disease, magically touched inside and realigned the feelings yesterday
Cause today, when will we ever get to know
things we do in life are always good to go
so if you're the next to take my place, today
Disbelief, gets the best of me
losing all but faith and fearing god the same
so don't take, never take, never take
a life you take for granted is a life you've thrown away
Cause today, when will we ever get to know
things we do in life are always good to go
so if you're the next to take my today,
when will we ever get to find (when will we find it)
instead of wasting time (instead of wasting)
live it good it could go away, today

In the City
04:10
|
|||
|
Dark of night, in the city
the city sleeps with angels who have traveled here
far away from home
black and blue, signs of struggle
from skyscrapers the world looks normal and you'd realize
the view is better up from here
Come on, come on, come on
with every little thing that we are
runaway
we are made from nothing and no way
come on, come on, come on
the only certain way to succeed
runaway
is to fail, and keep trying until we win
Dressed in white, don't you do it
contaminate and ruin all the freedoms you'll find
colors in the night
eyes of flame, move in closer
look me in the eyes and see the names and faces
all the places, you want to see them
Chorus
Street lights and the sidewalks carry me
pylons of steel and concrete
homeless embers, burning papers wrestles through the street
from skyline to the sewers we never sleep
Chorus

Reasons
03:45
|
|||
|
Something pushed me off the deep end today
I found my pain was just my weakness leaving my brain
two hands behind the wheel can't keep it straight
Better take hold of the rains to make them feel my wake
these are all the reasons why I'm low down
these are all the reasons why I'm lost in the clouds
theses are all the reasons why I'm low
Even though I got the light shining down on me
it's just tough to find the motive to believe, in me
they say with company of misery I'm entertained
It's safe to say this man is on the brink of insane
Chorus
Keep holding on
to all the reasons and the rhymes
just a little bit longer
keep falling for
all the ignorance and lies
just a little bit longer
yes i'm pushing away
on a long road to be a little bit stronger
just a little bit longer
Chorus

Spells

It's a twisted perception, that you have on life
It's a morbid perception, you need to recognize
that it does you no justice, and brings you no light,
it brings a halt to progression, isn't turning the tides
looking in the wrong direction, with the wrong set of eyes,
Such a bad misconception, of the way to survive
Divine, the lust
betray, we must
build me up and break me down again I'm hypnotized
Tell me I am doing better than I did before I
broke, your, spells
It's hard to tell
through blood-stained eyes
You were thinking of the outcome,
In a much darker light
Dreaming of the endgame
not enjoying the ride,
Here on earth it is precious
Better take as it comes
being better won't make you satisfied
Divine, the lust
betray, we must
build me up and break me down again I'm hypnotized
Tell me I am doing better than I did before I
broke, your, spells
It's hard to tell
through blood-stained eyes
Devine, hollow what are we without a soul,
Shine, forever, C'mon

Goodbye
04:28
|

|
Every time we said our goodbye you'd
show up late at my door
Text me a line we need to talk sometime
Meet me down at the bar,
cause I need you
And when we come to talk about it
you throw your hands, and you scream and shout at, me
And then you run away
Run the day till the run is out
Beat the heart till the beat is out, goodbye, goodbye
Rolls of tape and a photograph
Crazy love is an epitaph, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I think we’ve said goodbye, cause my love
All of the places the secrets you keep
It never got in the way
Christmas, July for your birthday surprise
I'd give you anything, cause I love you
And when I thought we're almost there
you turn a love into a tightened snare
And then you'd run away
Run the day till the run is out
Beat the heart till the beat is out, goodbye, goodbye
Rolls of tape and a photograph
Crazy love is an epitaph, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
This is goodbye,
And when we come to talk about it
you throw your hands, and you scream and shout at, me
And then you run away
Run the day till the run is out
Beat the heart till the beat is out, goodbye, goodbye
Rolls of tape and a photograph
Crazy love is an epitaph, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I think we said goodbye,
cause my love
runs dry
