Open, blurry, nurture, loving
Crawling, walking, fleeting, glory Welcome, brother, stranger, bloody Ally, teacher, recess, buddy Secret, toothless, fairy, pillow Money, kissing, nervous, hero Warmly ordinary This daytime TV satisfies Extra ordinary These hand-me-downs worn in so nice As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may Days are fine and come on time But years leave with nothing to find Changes, hormones, high school, threesome Roll call, study, license, freedom Novice, flirting, first time, lover Party, fighting, wasted, summer Questions, doubtful, wedding, family Happy, ever, after, dead end Daily iteration The bestest part of waking up Mundane ideation This dark roast got me (So fucked up) As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may Days, they come and days, they go Until no more days set you free Well on my way, my way to lose me It strikes me that I don't belong here anymore As I observe my own reflection, try a happy face Staring through the warm tears, a sad frown from the cold years Adieu, I never had the will anyway Toss a rope over the branch and fall into the night And here I swing, from my family tree Say goodnight Can't you see? Life is but a dream anyway 02. Mattel
My vinyl skin provides protection
It holds in place my plastic bones Cast button eyes reflect an image And all seems as it should But there's nobody home Cue the breeze That sway the painted trees Toy yellow birds upon the rooftops sing In chorus with the buzzing bees Melt in Sun L.E.D. beams From the sky being held on a string While boredom tears me apart at the seams Now I know this might sound crazy But I've smelled the plastic daisies And it seems we've found ourselves In Hell Round head consumed with major nothings Ears made of wax unfit to hear Day after day, it all plays over Dedicated loop Same year after year Please attend All model citizens R.S.V.P. if we can count you in Empty as we play pretend Send our thoughts with you and to your kin And in case I don't see you again Good afternoon, good evening, and good night Now I know this might sound crazy But I've smelled the plastic daisies And it seems we've found ourselves In Hell Living feign in porcelain And just smart enough to know nothing at all Pull my string and make me cry Advertisement, moral scrawl A semblance of choice when there's no choice at all Out of stock, 'the end is nigh' Burn Body burn Burn Now I know this might sound crazy But I've smelled the plastic daisies And it seems we've found ourselves In hell 03. Nobody
Ride in the shadows wandering beyond the frame
Float like a feather through space and time outside a dream Pirouette with divinity in a dance we've shared before "Someone dissolution" This is "I am all" as "I am none" Here we fly so high, no, I, no coming down Shedding weight as I'm coming undone All that's left converging as one I am the sun I am the sun I'm a God, I'm awake, I'm the one in everything I'm alive, I'm the dead, I'm a man without a head I walk with death in final exhalation And come apart through violent separation A thousand floors ascend into the ether A lunatic enchanted by the reaper And down below I leave a stranger laying lifeless as the light begins to shatter the skies I ascend and leave behind the "used to be" And tear the fabric worn to cover my eyes and see I see Nobody Breathe in the silence, ebb and flow among the waves Blur on the spectrum in light come dark in equal phase All I ever was, has been and always will be Here I end where I started again beyond death and borne on the wind I am the sun I am the sun I'm a God, I'm awake, I'm the one in everything I'm alive, I'm the dead, I'm a man without a head A crack in the darkness A tear in the sky A narrow moment when we find ourselves And all we occupy Return to the boundless Immerse in the free Letting go as you lose your name And all you've known to be Nobody Nobody Nobody Nobody 04. We Love You
There you are, you've come so far
Sunny days, the air tastes so sweet, flowers greet Birds will sing you mean everything You can be anything More power More pace More money More taste More sex More pills More skin More shills Build tall Build higher Build far Build wider Build here Build down Build up Build now Well, look at the way you go You're one in a million And you know it shows And we love you Unto the mud More wants More needs More hits Morphine More speed More drive More self More time Build out Build fast Build strong Build vast Build too Build more Build all Build war Look at the way you go You're one in a million And you know it shows And we love you Do unto the mud Mud Race to scale the body stack Lay foot to face atop broken back A failure here is a failure earned So do unto the top Do unto the end Do unto the mud Do More power More pace More money More taste More sex More pills More skin More shills More wants More needs More hits Morphine More speed More drive More self More time Build tall Build higher Build far Build wider Build here Build down Build up Build now Build out Build fast Build strong Build vast Build, build Build, build Build, build Build, build Look at the way you go You're one in a million And you know it shows And we love you Look at the way that you choose You know you'll never lose And all that you are It was all you deserved anyway Sunny days And we love you And we love you And we love you 05. Cosmic
Fade
From all that was before We shut another door But not a last goodbye Fate Has taken once again A fight we'll never win And time again we try Left alone, I can't wait too long Fade Love We loved so many times And in so many lives Sometimes we got it right Pain It found its way back in Until we meet again Into that good night None too far as we chase through the stars beyond forever I'll follow you Dancing in the wind as roses born again There you'll find me Before the dawn of man, in castles made of sand There you'll find me Writing in the caves as fire lights the way There you'll find me Mask of royal glow don in pharaoh's clothes There you'll find me Let it go Yeah Rings of dust and ice weightless in the night There you'll find me Let it go Dancing in the wind as roses born again There you'll find me Before the dawn of man in castles made of sand There you'll find me Writing in the caves as fire lights the way There you'll find me Mask of royal glow don in pharaoh's clothes There you'll find me From all that was before We shut another door But not a last goodbye Taken once again A fight we'll never win And time again we try I'm gone We loved so many times And in so many lives I'm gone Sometimes we got it right I'm gone It found it's way back in Until we meet again I'm gone Into that good 06. Beautiful Morning
I sit stoic
Touch of the divine upon my neck Lay me gently Take my body down, let me ascend Help me to hear and hear me to save And save me before I've gone too far Let me inhale my passage to hell While slowly exhaling the scar You walk on water But the water swallows you I lay quiet Floating in the stillness of this tomb Headstone empty Choking on the flowers as they bloom No one to know and no where to hide And nothing of me I've left behind Silence of one the meaning of none And letting it all go to be You walk on water But the water swallows you You're like no other You're the other one in view Don't let it be Don't let it be Don't let it It's a beautiful morning It's a beautiful day Everybody is smiling In a beautiful way I took a walk to paint the flowers and the trees The sun reflected gazing fondly on me I made a picture and I put it in the rays outside It washed the paint away and carried me home I have finally arrived There's no one but you... two Dressed in armor Just the hollow shell I was before Help me to turn my attention on me So empty just as I was before Let me exhale concession to hell While slowly embracing the scar You walk on water But the water swallows you And you're like no other You're the other one in view Don't let it be You walk on water Don't let it be, don't let it be But the water swallows you Don't let it be Don't let it, don't let it And you're like no other Don't let it be, don't let it be You're the other one in view Don't let it be 07. Easier
It's easier to just walk away
I know you'll see brighter days along the way I've been shaped by peaks and valleys Found a plateau where I cursed at the sky Sometimes I feel that the rain falls for me Bound to the flesh till the day that I die It's easier to just walk away I know you'll see brighter days along the way Days like this come as days go And all that you love just as soon be goodbyes What was so far for so long now behind me What Far Long So hold applause till the end of the ride It's easier to just walk away I know you'll see brighter days along the way It's easier to just walk away I know you'll see brighter days along the way It's easier, it's easier Easier Easier, easier It's easier 08.

I am the man
Six days of bullshit, a wave of my hand And you know what I need Put your hands together, get down on your knees Or climb a hill and just don't talk I never made a man didn't trip when they walk the walk It's so sheik and we love What you've done with the place Compliments you with style and grace Can't tell me that all I see Ain't a gift from the fabulous one Thought about a name that came to me Can you explain why the phone would ring? Prayed so hard and oh my Lord I got a spot at the front of the lot Can't be late for my weekly date 'Cause we're gonna save someone What? What have I done? Jesus Christ You gotta be kidding me I am the plan Cheap imitations by obsessive fans But you're great, and fun to watch On the seventh day I thought about world peace But I decided just to take it off Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh It's so sheik and we love What you've done with the place Compliments you with style and grace Can't tell me that all I see Ain't a gift from the fabulous one Thought about a name that came to me Yeah, explain why the phone would ring? Prayed so hard and oh my Lord I got a spot at the front of the lot Can't be late for my weekly date 'Cause we're gonna save someone Ahh fuck, give me a delete button Delete! Not too bad for a first try Wen robot 09. (O)rdinary
Will you give me my own soul?
Will you let me take control? I wanna see the things that you see I wanna be the human you be I wanna know the secrets inside I wanna know the feelings you hide Will you give me my own soul, control? Tell me how to dream And tell me what it means Tell me how to feel And tell me you believe Tell me all the things you wanted me to be Tell me when I'm really alive Can you feel my love? Can you feel my love? 10. (D)eath
In my dreams
I awake as daylight breaks and wash my face Put my bedroom back in its place and tucked away Write a note of a few things I want to say And leave it on the fireplace And in my dreams, another day In my dreams I stare out in the distance of the city scene From way up here, it's so serene There's nothing said As I make myself more comfortable with the edge I leap into the darkest night Wind on my face, it satisfies I never have felt so alive And in my dreams, I fly away 11.
