1. _ Shellshocked
"Shellshocked"
Lies won't save you from the bomb that you just dropped
I'm standing shellshocked but I'm still here
And this to you is what I'm saying
All that's false will
Fade away
You run away from what you know will surely come
I will remember everything that you have done
And this to you is what I'm saying
All that's false will
Fade away
I'll say it again because
Who are you
To say to me
That I'm not all right
You don't know it's like
I'm shellshocked
And ripped apart inside
No I'm not all right
You don't know what it's like
Well yeah a change in character is great
And if it's what you need to say
It's probably what I need to hear
But never again in that way
I don't care what I'm doing that turning you off of me
It's my care for pursuing our friendship responsibly
That's why I need to reconstruct what happens subconsciously
So we don't continue to treat our silence so obnoxiously
Lies won't save you from the bomb that you just dropped
I'm standing shellshocked but I'm still here
And this to you is what I'm saying
All that's false will
Fade away

2. _ Time and Time Again
Inspiring, shining, rising
And when you're in my way
I'm not dividing me from you cause we're working together
Perfect in its splendor like the currents of the weather
The splinter in my center hindering all of my pleasure
Is me manifested as you in this endeavor
Once responsibility is taken I can render
Experience to be however I want to remember
Time and time again we fall in to the depths of who we are
But you can't keep running away from what you're trying to find
Put yourself through the scariest of scenarios
Enter experiences you normally wouldn't dare to go
It's all for the character and the aroogant afterglow
Of knowing it's appearance according to your patterns of growth
And what your parents handed down to you to handle
Make sure you carry torches when they're puttin out your candles
Prediction can be unkind but unwind them still
Don't erase the part of you that's responsible for your will
Time and time again we fall into the depths of who we are
But you can't keep running away from what wou're trying to find
Time and time again we fall into the depths of who we are
But you can't keep running away from what wou're trying to find
Well I've seen you and those things you do
And the way you hide that shadow can't be good for you
Your dark defines your light
There's some utterly damaged particles to deal with
And if I stutter I'm sorry but it's hard to feel swift
When stuck in my stomach is a cannon ball anchor to life
I've been pushing it down pretending it doesn't exist
Well this is what happens when you're pissed about being pissed
You dig yourself so deep you resist just to resist
And there's no way to get back experiences you missed
So start right now today and risk furiousness for bliss
Time and time again we fall into the depths of who we are
But you can't keep running away from what you're trying to find

3. _ Wicked games
"Wicked Games"
Did I wait too long
It made me somber wondering onward stronger
On and on
But I'm still awake
You haven't killed me
I am willing to persevere another day
You can run away but you can't escape
All these wicked games
You're impossible like ignoring the habit of breathing
I'm expendable to you completed then superseded
I insist it ends
My circumstances burned my chances
The answers want it that way
But I'm still awake
I have opponents
I've got moments to own that know my way
But it still exists and it's still there
You can't escape these wicked games
Go through your pain and struggle but maintain the knowing
Of what'll come to you showing it's all right
There's plenty around to drown you
Pronunciate found to all that surround you
Give them all flight
Running away is a stain in the mud a brain stem with a plug
When you get there you don't know why ou came
You end up going where you're knowing
Is showing in different form but inside you feel the same
There's always someone else to blame

4. _ New York NY
New York, NY"
Well all these people of the city will keep you in their blind spots
Especially when they know that you're out looking to sign dots
I tried to tell this girl how twisted my mind got
But it's her dream to ride the conveyer belt of that side walk
She's got intentions of being number one
But can she handle rejection in the city of no sun
Where bricks change colors faster than careers do
And few people drive away and like what's in their rearview
New york city's so far away
But i can't wait even for one more day
They say these things come and these things go
But if I don't try I'll never know
She don't care what it takes she knows she's got the ability
And with what her folks make
You know she'd have stability
She just needs to get out there
And step toward her validity
She can't keep dying over this
Because it's just killing me
She's not used to foot steps digging in her chest
High heeled investments and suit's getting undressed
Growing hold and having new recruits become the best
And finding that she's stepped on everyone and no one's left
Well it hurts like walking barefoot on light bulbs
Smashing ideas with open skin
Til' the pearl white dorps of blood turn red
And everyone can tell
That you've worked hard enough
It's time to go
Go get your map and compass and don't listen to them
And don't think about how much time you're fixing to spend
The dirt only ends when the pavement begins
This is your heart your dream
And you're your only friend so go
You can kick the earth as hard as you want
To show your frustration
Or you can get in your car and kick your foot to the gas
And keep accelerating till you hit your destination
So go

5. _ Stop Pretending
If for just one night
We could stop pretending
That we're never ending
Cause soon I'll have to go
My biggest fear in life is that the universe works
I guess to be blessed we have to be cursed first
Well obviously waiting on honesty hurts worse
Than arguing over how much the dirt's worth
If that type of magic when creative spurts burst
Can turn to a flat line from hospitalized bird chirps
Would you line up with me to be the first cursed
To prove to this nervous earth the universe works
For just one night
Could we just stop pretending
That we're never ending
Cause soon I'll have to go
These days are coming
To an end my friend
So can we just stop pretending
I'm here to stay
All right all right the universe works had enough with the crisis
I'm sure that all our heads have been stuck in cive grips
When advice gets repetitive that's becuase it is
So we should stop pretending we haven't heard it before this
So who ever you share life with whether it be your lover, parent,
Grandparent, sister or brother
Let them know to make sure they knew
That they were appreciated for taking on the challenge of you
Try -- get to the other side
Rise -- watch your halo grow in size
I hope to god that I
Will never be given another personality that I'll have to resign
Cause you didn't cherish all those times we had
You find yourself feeling sad
Cause I've gone away

6. _ Thank you
"Thank You"
I want to go for a walk outside
I've got nothing to hide
I want to go for a walk outside with you
All complications will end tonight
There's not a person in sight
I need to go for a walk outside with you
Because I want to thank you for all your time
You see you don't even know
How much you ease my mind
I'm bringing more of me to the table I was uncomfortable to sit at before
The thoughts I had of you remind me of the pattern of the man who's had
The same haircut
For the last thirty years but now he's ready for a change
Bring on the shift of the paradigm
We're at the end of the line
I think I'm readt to walk outside with you
Because I want to thank you for giving me your all
Because it means so much to me
Well this is nonsense
Why didn't I concentrate to find some time to
Tell you that I haven't
Been on the same page as you for a while
Been saving truth in a pile
Standing in front of it
Obstructing your view with my smile
I'm sorry for all of it
I'm sorry for all of it
I'm sorry for calling to you to call in quits
But I hope this isn't it

7. _ Memories In F Minor
"
You're the element of surprise that none of us were prepared for
The dead body behind the curtain that we couldn't help but stare towards
This afternoon you were an only child and a friend to me
This evening you're not breathing you're just the seed of a memory
Memories of better days
Turn the pages back to a faded photograph of
Memories of yesterdays
The years'll pass by but they'll never bring me back to you
My memory remembers presently everything from that night
My senses always sensor any awful images or sights
But I didn't get to see through the eyes his poor mother did
I just ask why she had to be the one to discover him
All I ask is a better day
A better way
To carry the weight of you
I sing this song to remember the days
When I wasn't afraid
To carry the weight of you
To the friend that I love who has different roots of blood
You are the earth that makes mud that comes from rain that made the flood
We cycle in and out of what our lives are capable of
And through it all I thank you for teaching me below and above
I had a friend who was way to young to die
I guess death is one of those things some people do to life

8. _ Eyes wide open
It's like taking your medicine
Admitting the relevance
Of every experience
You're thanking the elements
In all their appearances
Ins't life just the clearest when
You face interferences with an aim for fearlessness
With eyes wide open it can be so hard to live in this world today
But if you close them you just might miss out
And life will pass you by
You know that
Things will never change
And your life will
Always stay the same
Eyes open
Eyes shut
I need some memory loss
Tell me what's that gonna cost?
If it has to do with attitude I'll pack up and get lost
I'm having second thoughts on going trough with this
I should say screw this shit close my eyes and get used to it
Unchanged
Don't waste your life away
Blankness with an over anxiousness
To erase this you must be courageous
Just to face what gives you knots in your stomach
And once you've done it
You're gonna love it
Getting up there and being above it

9. _ Say goodbye
"Say Goodbye"
The tenth day before I left
Everythign was just fine
She must have waited to cave in
On that day nine
This severly effected the eighth and seventh night
But that still didn't make me feel like the time was right
To say goodbye
Say goodbye to you my friend
Say goodbye
Ten, nine, eight, seven
Sixth day before I left
We pretended things were fine
Even though the ninth day cave was acting as both our minds
Fifth day and counting
Well she found it astounding
When I told her I didn't want to miss her while she was in my surroundings
The fourth day was new with her
Same question asked again
Once you're gone how long til I get my depth perception back again?
At that I had the same flabbergasted face for most of the third and second days
The final day before I left came and i still had nothing to say
The fifth day after I had left I was trying to adjust and she came
The sixth day she was stuck looking for sparks but couldn't see the flame
The seventh day I fell asleep in the fire that we had made
She woke me up and I said goodbye and we were never the same
Attraction a distraction
A fraction in a lifetime of satisfaction
Take action or back off

10. _ Apology for non-symmetry
I must apologize for not participating in symmetry
But it's been such a struggle to win entry to this industry
Put simplistically it sickens me for my lack of contributions
I hope to tighten loose ends with new sense and end this nuisance
I think it's more
More than I can take
I don't exactly know just what to say to you
(so now the roof has hit the floor)
That I haven't said before
And it feels just like I have been more than
Patient enough with wasted breath on bluffs with no bread to touch
Much of what I give will become the unstable crutch
Then who would you get to lend you a new menu of gifts
To spit quick and then shift to the next on your list
Cause it feels like I'm gonna try tonight
We got a different way of seeing what the day can bring
And I know that I'm stepping up to the line
Now I'm man enough to understand it
So come on navigate while I drive
We got a different way of seeing what the day can bring
Cause it feels like I'm gonna try tonight
Well look who decided to show up grown up in slow motion
I have to ask you how did you pass through your own erosion
Could you help me get through this life with you instead of
Me impeaching the breeze of your breath for every issue
I can't give up I gotta keep trying as hard as possible
And never throw at you the me that compromised with stappable
I make it so hard to try I'll do what I know is right
Don't make it seem like t his isn't forever
Because I want to come through
And be there for you but it feels so bad that I
It feels so bad that I was not there all those times

11. _ World keeps spinning
"World Keeps Spinning (A Chronic Future)"
Stationed in hollow basics
This world will never face it
We'll keep participating in community wide face lifts
To cover up our problems
One government won't solve them
I'm on this groove to soothe this wrinkled face of earth revolving
I passed an adequacy test
Actual fact is I'm impressed
At the pattern of people popping up to help us do the rest
These are not movie sets
These are physical streets
Becoming more tired every time history repeats
Now it seems that we've run out of time
The wold keeps spinning on this fragile mind
Now it seems that we've run out of time
Oh the world keeps spinning what you said
The world keeps spinning what you said
I think they got it planned
How to ruin our lives
Turning truth into lies
We approve the disguise
They're just moving our eyes
We just simply don't stand
Up for oursleves against the upper hand
And pull it out their plan
Now it seems that we've run out of time
The world keeps spinning on this fragile mind
Now it seems that we've run out of time
The world keeps spinning what you said
What you said yeah
You will never know
Where are we going
I don't know anymore
Where are we going
I don't know anymore
I'll just continue to circle
Why?
It's confortable doing what been done before

12. _ Static On The Radio
"Static On The Radio"
What's that song on the radio
It's been so long since I've heard a song that I want t oknow
Every word and every note
What's that song on the radio
Tune me in just this once
Tune me in just this once
Cause there's too much
Static on the radio
I could easily write by avoiding verdicts and judgements
But then I wouldn't be the one hanging myself over one wish
What's that song on the radio
It's been so long since I've heard a song that I want to know
Tune me in just this once
Tune me in just this once
Cause there's too much
Static on the radio
What is it that makes artists feel that
Lack of focus is appropriate
And is accepted as an art form
Please wake up
What's this song on the radio
It's been so long since I've heard a song that I want to know
Tune me in just this once
Tune me in just this once
Cause there's too much
Static on the radio
