PowerNerd

Facing the end
Chasing the wind
Open you mind
Change in your breath
Facing your death
Open your mind

Should we build a new way deliberately?
Leave this behind?
Hair of the dog
All of this gone, all of the time

No giving up, no giving in
Don't give it up when you know you can take it

All those things we say to ourselves
Time to rise, put that shit on the shelf
All those years spent down in a hole
Time for life and rock and roll
All these things we say are what we do
Let’s go!

As we arrive
Lucid of mind
We will arrive
Our wings are broken through...
(Tears are gratitude)

No giving up, no giving in
Don't give it up when you know you can take it
No giving up, no giving in
PowerNerd

All those things we say to ourselves
Time to rise, put that shit on the shelf
All those years spent down in a hole
Time for life and rock and roll
All those dark years alone...

I love petting the cat
Petting the cat
Petting the cat
My cute and furry hell fury
Petting the cat
Whoah yeah!
Petting the cat
Petting the cat
Petting the, petting the, petting the cat

All those things we say to ourselves
Time to rise, put that shit on the shelf
All those years spent down in a hole
Time for life and rock and roll
All those dark years alone...

Time for light

02. Falling Apart

Rowing, rowing... through the waves
Through stormy weather
Rowing, rowing... every day
To see you again

I'm in your life
This loss!

So it's falling apart
Where the river goes and we must go again
Keep the tension under control
You're falling apart

Rolling, rolling through the waves
The storm is weathered
Rowing, rowing
Better days will see you again

I'm in your life

So it's falling apart
Where the river goes and we must go again
Keep the tension under control
You're falling apart

I love you, I love you...
I love you
But God, I can't deny I want to live!

So it's falling apart
Wherе the river goes and wе must go again
Keep the tension under control
You're falling apart

Move into the moment child
Tomorrow we'll be gone
Keep the tension under control
You're falling apart

03. Knuckledragger

Gimme another, another beer man
I want another, another dream man
Don't wanna think about nothing
I want infinite ways to get away from myself

Love, I want
I want love
I want
I want to be kind, I want
I want you, I want...
Gimme it all!

Gimme another, another beer man
I want another, another dream man
Don't wanna think about nothing
I want infinite ways to get away from myself

Time, my god... there's no time
I want, I want to slow down
And take it easier

But I can't play dumb, If you're not dumb
It's making me numb the way we're supposed to be

So I'm gonna stand up!
Stand tall!
In the depths of universal sound
There's no question now:
The idiots fucking rule

Gimme another, another beer man
I want another, another dream man
Don't wanna think about nothing
I want infinite ways to get away from myself

Gimme another, another beer man
I want another, another dream man
Don't wanna think about nothing
I want infinite ways to get away from myself

So I'm gonna stand up!
Stand tall!
In the depths of universal sound
There's no question now:
The idiots fucking rule

(Balls... I've got balls... I've got big balls... I've got balls)

But I can't play dumb, If you're not dumb
It's making me numb the way we're supposed to be

Let it out!
Oh!
Hoh!
Let it out!
Oh!
Hoh!
Show us the way!

Gimme another, another beer man
I want another, another dream man...
Don't wanna think about nothing
I want infinite ways to get away from myself

Gimme another, another beer man
I want another, another dream man...
Don't wanna think of the others
I want infinite ways to get away from myself

Don't wanna think about nothing
I want infinite ways to get away from myself

Don't you hear?

Don't wanna think of the others
I want infinite ways to get away
Infinite ways to get away
Infinite ways to get away from myself

04. Gratitude

You see me on top of the world, now
Gratitude, gratitude

We've got to believe
Things will only get better
So you've got to breathe
And say 'thank you'

Mother, please let the kid enjoy
Mother, please let him be a boy

You see me on top of the world, now
Gratitude, gratitude
So easy on top of the world, I'm
Glad it's you, gratitude

I've just come to say goodbye
You don't want it to die
But I've had a great life...
Thank you

Mother, I'm haulin' heavy loads
And mothеr, I long to be alone

You see me on top of thе world, now
Gratitude, gratitude
So easy on top of the world, I'm
Glad it's you, gratitude
Shit!

As long as you're holding
The fearless inside
Your heart will be loved
And the loved will be right

You see me on top of the world, now
Gratitude, gratitude
So easy on top of the world, I'm
Glad it's you, gratitude!

Come away!
Every breath is a door (Gratitude!)
It was you and me
And all of our blessings are more
(Gratitude! Gratitude!)

05. Dreams Of Light

Dreams of life
Rays of life
Ways of life
Dream or die
Don't take your time
Or be unkind
See me carrying the sword
This moment broke you
And brought you to me

06. Ubelia

All of the lines between us
In black and white, the moment is in the air
But you're not there
You're chained to the past

Ubelia
The expression of the past trials
And of course you wanna save her all the time
'Cause that's the nature of our life

All of the years in between us
In black and white, the moment is here in the air
But you're not there
You're chained to the past

Ubelia
The expression of the past trials
And of course you wanna save her all the time
'Cause that's the nature of our life

And you belong, and two belong
With peace throughout your soul
The universe it moves in random ways
We are home

So we carry on
The expression of the past child
And of course you want to save her all the time
'Cause that's the nature of our love

We carry on...
We carry on...
We carry on...
You carry on

07. Jainism

Life goes on
We're turning the pages tumultuously
Toward certain disaster
Weeks and days with broken wings
I don't mind…
My will is the master

Please release me, crawl my way back to the ground
The world makes a cried-out, dried-out sound
And this is so much larger

All we are is a fading madness
All we are is a place in time
All we have is the faith that it's all gonna change
So get me out

Take a minute
You're only as strong as your mind
Enduring depression
Weeks and days with rubber knees
But I don't mind…
I'm grace under pressure

Please release me, I've been here for so long
The world makes a dried-out, fucked up sound
This is so much larger

All we are is a faded madness
All we are is a place in time
All we have is the faith that it's all gonna change
So get me out

Seek the middle
Through words of fire

The worthy reach me, I've no place for you now
'Cause this is so much larger

All we are is a faded madness
All we are is a place in time
All we have is the faith that it's all gonna Jainism
All we are is a faded madness
All we were was a place in time
If all we have is the faith that it's all gonna change
Get me out

What have you got to say?
What have you got to say?
Brother, you've got to pay…
I've already got you

08. Younger Lover

We're human beings we're trying to stay in love
Just human beings, we're trying to sing...

But who knows if it's all about anything

I'm free!
I'm free!
We're free to go wherever I may roam
Be seen...
I'll see you out there, ever after

A grey day
We're human beings, we're trying to stay

But who knows what it's all about anyway

But I'm free!
I'm free!
We're free to go wherever I may roam
Be seen!
I'll see you out there, younger lover

Cheers, here's to a life
To an easy old age
We'll go somewhere warm, somewhere in the sun...

Right!

Right!

I'm free!
I'm free!
We're free to go wherever I may roam
Be seen!

I see you as the younger lover loved so long ago...

09. Glacier

Fear torn away
War torn away from us
Let the kingdom burn
God knows the way?!
You're torn away from us
Let the chaos roll

And in time, we're two in it all together
And in time, we'll do it again

You need a meditation for the loss
(I'm ready to go)
You need a medication for the cost
(I'm ready to go)

Fear torn away
War torn away from us
Let the kingdom burn
God knows the way?!
You're torn away from us
Let the chaos roll

Is this the one?
I'm ready to go
And I know it's electric
As the world is falling apart

Behold the cost

You need a meditation for the loss
(I'm ready to go)
You need a medication for the cost

Hey, by the way...
Is it truе what they say?
Eh... it's ok
I was leaving anyways

Fear torn away
War torn away from us
Lеt the kingdom burn
God knows the way?!
You're torn away from us
Let the chaos roll

10. Goodbye

Waiting for the time
It's gonna help me with the mind
So I waited up to see ya
But I only wanted to say
Goodbye

Waited for the signs
It's gonna help me to decide
So we waited up to meet ya
But we only wanted a sign
Goodbye

So I'll meet you again
Wherever you are
And I mean it when I say
I'll see you

Darling, tomorrow
I've got to let you go
I fall in love
In love
I fall in love
In love
I fall

So I'll meet you again
Wherever you are
And believe me when I say
I'll see you

Darling, tomorrow
I've got to let you go
I fall in love
In love
I fall in love
In love
I fall

Darling, tomorrow
I've got to let you go
I love your mind
And your smile
I love your soul
Goodbye
I love you

11. Ruby Quaker

Some folks love the morning
Some folks love the night
Yet all we're trying to do is get it right
Some folks love the living
While some folks long to die
We need a little love to live our lives

But we need a little more now in the morning
Anticipation makes the morning pay

Coffee, coffee, I love my coffee
(Coffee, coffee, I love my coffee)
Morning brew is perfect in every way
Coffee, coffee, I love my coffee
(Coffee, coffee, I love my coffee)
I love it so I drink it every day

Wakey wakey...
Some folks love the morning
Some folks love the night
Yet all we're trying to do is get it right
Some folks love the living
While some folks long to die
We need some sort of incentive
To get us all through those long nights

But we need a little something to make the morning
Anticipation makes the morning pay

Coffee, coffee, I love the coffee
(Coffee, coffee, I love the coffee)
Morning brew is perfect in every way
Coffee, coffee, I love the coffee
(Coffee, coffee, I love the coffee)
I love it so I drink it every day

And it's early Monday morning
And work is on the rise
All the chaos ringing down the line
Everybody needs something but no one's got the time
And all we're trying to do is live our lives, yeah

So I need a little more to make the morning
But I need a little more now every day

Coffee, coffee, I love the coffee
(Coffee, coffee, I love the coffee)
Morning brew is perfect in every way
Coffee, coffee, I love the coffee
(Coffee, coffee, I love the coffee)
I love it so I drink it every day

Caffeinate Me!
Fuck it up!

Early morning, twisted savage morning
I went down to the nook, what did I see?
All my precious beans and all my coffee
Replaced by soggy leaves of stinking tea

Coffee, coffee, I love the coffee
(Coffee, coffee, I love the coffee)
Morning brew is perfect in every way
Coffee, coffee, I love the coffee
(Coffee, coffee, I love the coffee)
I love it so I drink it every day

I love my coffee
I drink it to keep sane
If I cannot have it
Then I cannot play the game
Will not play the game
Because the game is just fucking stupid
