When I Die
02:43

I don't wanna be remembered, I just want a few kind words
when I die I want you to put me right where I was born
put me in the dirt with the worms where I can return
when I die I want you to put me right where I was born
i don't wanna make an impact, I just want my soul to soar
when I die I want you to put me right where I was born
put me in the dirt with the worms where I can return
when I die I want you to put me right where I was born
I don't need religion, I'll let mother nature make her own decision
when I die I want you to put me right where I was born
put me in the dirt with the worms where I can return
when I die I want you to put me right where I was born

Alachua County Jail
with your outrageous bail
hold us for forty days
without proving anything
you do more bad than good
fucking up our neighborhood
sadie darnell and
the county commissioners
incompetance prevails
at alachua county jail
nobody knows a thing
they think they're fuckin king
alachua county jail
where justice fails
hold us for forty days
the poor man pays
land of the free
if you've got the money
land of the afraid
so we got the guns
correctional officer
you don't correct a thing
hand on your hips
creepy sick grin
alachua county jail
with your private profit bail
hold us for forty days
without proving anything
you're not fooling anyone

Crime Against Humanity
02:42
|
|||
|
does a crime against humanity
deserve a harsher penalty?
easy to see easy to ignore
there's a crime against humanity
going on next door
lets pick up the telephone
and have a discussion
lets turn on the radio
brush up on the latest corruption
Let's pretend it's fucking normal
fight against our brother
look up to the man
and suck up to the mother
i can't stand the things that you do
ive got one question to ask you
does a crime against humanity
add up to a felony charge?
worldwide illusion, mass confusion, tyranny!
call it whatever you want
lets pick up the telephone book
and look up our local LR
lets turn on the tv screen
and forget about who we are
let's protest against eachother
define a generation
stand up to the little man
without organization
let's fix what isn't broken
ignore important problems
sit around with our thumbs
up our bottoms
it all balances out and comes back again
but even infinity cant undue the pain
does a crime against humanity deserve a harsher penalty?
easy to see easy to ignore theres a
crime against humanity going on next door.

Age of Paranoia
02:36
|
|||
|
snake in the grass, bit me and I'm seeing red
don't move a muscle so the venom doesn't spread
age of paranoia
students flock to university so they can one day buy a home
lovers gather together so as not to be alone
age of paranoia
yellowstone volcano. will we be grateful?
will scientist relieve pressure from ol faithful?
age of paranoia
artificial intelligence, will they like us?
will they work well with it's creators or dub us useless and destroy us?
age of paranoia

good and bad
no difference in hindsight
its caving it
the tunnel at the end of the light
stuck inside
born into body and mind
lock the door
the tunnel at the end of the light
i cant seem to finish what i start
relationships are not for the faint of heart
wage a war
against our own ally
splits the scene apart
got an achin in my heart
oh it hurts
to be estranged by such a drunken fight
people waving
in the tunnel at the end of the light
i cant seem to live with us apart
relationships are not for the faint of heart
i am walking right but the tunnel is too bright
i am stuck inside the tunnel at the end of the light
up all night
hot with hostility and strife
no dreams tonight
the tunnel at the end of the light
i look out
future black as the night
its alright
the tunnel at the end of the light
i can't seem to get out of the dark
relationships are not for the faint of heart
i am walking right but the tunnel is too bright
i am stuck inside the tunnel at the end of the light

Open Eyes

STANDING UP FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IN
LOOKING AROUND I SEE IM MY ONLY FRIEND
RAINING DOWN ON A FULL MOON
THE SUN IS SHINING IN A DARK ROOM
THEY'RE ALL ASS BACKWARDS
HOLD PASSWORDS IN OUR MINDS
CHEAP TWO SCREW BRACKET HANGS MY PRIZE
IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL SITS A MAN THAT DIES
FEEL THE SHIRT RISE OFF MY SKIN
THE PEOPLE AROUND ARE LIGHT WITHIN
I FAIL TO SEE THE GOOD AT TIMES
IN LIFE ITSELF THERE IS NO RHYME
REASON ENOUGH TO BELIEVE
TOO MUCH TO CONCIEVE
I FOR ONE HAVE A LOT TO LEARN
THOUGH IVE SEEN THE LIGHT, NOT A TIME TO BURN.
DIVIDE LIFE BY OPEN EYES
DIG A SPACE WHERE YOUR DEATH LIES.

Philosophy
02:32
|
|||
|
I give you warmth, light, no there is no fright
under the earth, moon, no i spoke too soon
vibrations finely grained at the end to jump out
and gained again by a leaf of a tree or a hundred
million fish in the sea.
I am the sun, you can look up to me.
another run at the same philosophy
you think you've branched out, but you are just a sprout
there is more to be, trust in what you see.
you work at night and then you sleep during the light
you'll live again, crying, this one is slowly dying.
I am the sun, you can look up to me
another run at the same philosophy

Taken Away
02:49
|
|||
|
questions left unanswered forever
somebody knows
like seeing water flowing down in a black hole
don't know where it goes
i walk down the road carry on my mind
another day
i know that you are in a better place
but there's still so much to say
she was just taken away
life is just a passage anyway
this is some strange kind of nightmare
you were so close to me
like a tree dropping it's biggest branch
i fall to my knees
i am slowly picking up the pieces
of what i can save
this is going to haunt me until i fall
to my grave
she was just taken away
life is just a passage anyway

Where You Are
03:44
|
|||
|
the hand that I kissed, I know, is now bone
the love that we had together is now, forever,
written in stone
when I think about you I cry
but now your mind can rest and your spirit can fly.
they say god gives all of his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers
I'm not strong but I know what I want and so I'm holding on.
to those who say there was no love, I've never loved somebody so much
I wear your coat, it keeps me warm
I wander through the woods wondering where you are.
they say god gives all of his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers
I'm not strong but I know what I want and so I'm holding on.
I know you're out there somewhere
in the morning heat
I saw your spirit walking down the street.
I know you're out there somewhere
light on your feet.
when I die our memories will meet.

Losing My Youth
03:18
|
|||
|
I'm just a sucker for a biological trick called love
but I know it's only lust. what can I trust?
definitions are written but only by us.
I'm just looking for you and I'm down.
I'm slowly losing my youth.
I'm just a product of a psychic's psychedelic vision.
what can I say? she says we met that way.
All connections are hidden until they come out and play.
I'm just looking for you and I'm down
I'm slowly losing my youth
I'm just a product of somebody else's birthday sex
oh what a treat and now it's up to me to prove my own destiny
I'm just looking for you and I'm down
I'm slowly losing my youth
I'm wondering just how much they think a man can take
in this world of make believe, make a believer out of me
that there is more than what I see.
I'm just a lookin for you and I'm down
I'm slowly losing my youth
