Priviledge

Isn't it strange that a gift could 
be an enemy 
Isn't it weird that a privilege 
could feel like a chore 
Maybe its me, but this life isn't
 going anywhere 
Maybe if we looked hard enough we
 could find a back door 
Find yourself a back door 

I see you in line dragging your 
feet 
You have my sympathy 
The day you were born you were
born free 
That is your privilege 

Isn't it strange that the man 
standing in front of me 
Doesn't have a clue why he's 
waiting or what he's waiting for 
Maybe its me but I'm sick of
 wasting energy 
Maybe if I look in my heart,
 I can find a back a door 
Find yourself a back door 

I see you in line dragging your feet 
You have my sympathy 
The day you were born you were born free 
That is your 
That is your privilege 

Find yourself a back door 
I see you in line dragging your feet 
You have my sympathy 
The day you were born you were born free 
That is your privilege 
I see you in line dragging your feet 
You have my sympathy 
The day you were born you were born free 
That is your 
That is your privilege

Nowhere Fast

Will I ever get to, to where it is 
that I am going 
Will I ever follow through with 
what I... with what I have planned 
I guess it's possible, that I have
 been a bit distracted 
And the directions for me are a lot
 less in demand. 
In demand. 

Will I ever get to where I'm going 
If I do will I know when I'm there 
If the wind blew me in the right
direction. Yeah 
Would I even care 
I would. 

I take a look around, it's evident
 the scene has changed. 
And there are times when I feel 
improved, improved upon the past. 
And there are times when I can't
 seem to understand at all. 
And yes it seems as though I'm 
going nowhere really fucking fast. 
Nowhere fast. 

Will I ever get to where I'm going 
If I do will I know when I'm there 
If the wind blew me in the right 
direction. Yeah 
Would I even care 
I would. 
I would. 
I would. 

Will I ever get to where I'm going 
If I do, will I know when I am there 
If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah 
Would I even care 
I would.
I would. 
I would. 
I would. 
I would. 

Consequence You blink and you miss a beat,
 keep one of your eyes open at all times 
You think that your on the brink, the shit
 hasn't even begun to hit the fan 
The consequence you'll see will be stranger
 than a gang of drunken mimes 
The situation has a stink better clear the 
air before your son becomes a man 

Blink everything's been augmented that you 
have been left so far behind 
I think for sure next time you should wear 
a pair of eyes in the back of your head 
The consequence you've seen has been
 stranger than Sci-Fi of any kind 
The situation baffles me, I guess its 
true you too are one of the walking dead 

You better think fast, think fast,
Cuz you never know what's coming round
 the bend 
You better not blink, oh blink, 
The consequence is a bigger word 
than you think 
Its bigger than you or me, You or 
me, You or me 
You or me 

You better think fast, think fast, 
cuz you never know what's coming
 around the bend 
You better not blink, oh blink, the 
consequence is a bigger word than you think 
Its bigger than you or me, 
You or me, 
You or me

The Warmth

I'd like to close my eyes and go numb 
But there's a cold wind coming from 
The top of the highest high rise today 
Its not a breeze cuz it blows hard 
Yes and it wants me to discard the 
The humanity I know, watched the warmth blow away 
So don't let the world bring you down 
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold 
Remember why you came and while you're alive 
Experience the warmth before you grow old 
So do you think I should adhere 
To that pressing new frontier 
And leave in my wake, a trail of fear 
Should I hold my head up high 
And throw a wrench and spokes by 
I'm leaving the air behind me clear 
So don't let the world bring you down 
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold 
Remember why you came and while you're alive 
Experience the warmth before you grow old 
So don't let the world bring you down 
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold 
Remember why you came and while you're alive 
Experience the warmth before you grow old 
Before you grow old

When It Comes

It's coming around again 
They're letting it out again, again 
It's coming around again 
They're letting it out again, again 
It's coming around again 
They're letting it out again, again 
It's coming around again 
They're letting it out again 
When it comes, it comes abrupt 
When it feels, it feels like trading brains
 with an imbecile 
For real 
Yes I feel emphatic about not being static 
And not buying philosophies that are sold 
to me, no, at a steal 

Just when you thought, it was safe to think 
In comes mental piracy, and no 
What I'm looking for (for) 
Can not be sold to me 
I wish they all would stop trying 
Cuz what I want, and what I need, is and 
will always be free 

It's coming around again 
They're letting it out again, again 
It's coming around again 
They're letting it out again 
When it comes, it comes announced 
And it feels like a matador is taunting 
me with his reddest red cloth 
And I am the bull 
Yes I feel emphatic about not being static 
And not eating the bullshit that's being fed to me 
Cuz now I'm full 
Just when you thought, it was safe to think 
In comes mental piracy, and no 
What I'm looking for (for) 
Can not be sold to me 
I wish they all would stop trying 
Cuz what I want, and what I need, is and will always be free 

It's coming around again 
They're letting it out again, again

Stellar

Meet me in outerspace 
We could spend the night, watch the
 earth come up 
I've grown tired of that place, wont
 you come with me 
We could start again 
How do you do it, make me feel like I do 
How do you do it, its better than I
 ever knew 
Meet me in outerspace 
I will hold you close, If your afraid 
of heights 
I need you to see this place, It might
 be the only way 
That I can show you how, it feels
 to be inside of you 
How do you it, make me feel like I do 
How do you do it, its better than
 I ever knew 
How do you do it, make me feel like I do 
Do oh oh oh oh oh 
You are stellar 
You are stellar 
How do you it, make me feel like I do 
How do you do it, its better than I ever knew 
How do you do it, make me feel like I do 
How do you do it, make me feel like I do, Yeah. 

Make Yourself If I hadn't made me, I 
would've been made somehow 
If I hadn't assembled myself, I'd have
 fallen apart by now 
If I hadn't made me, I'd be more 
inclined to bow 
Powers that be, would have swallowed me up 
But that's more than I can allow 
Bow, aww yeah 
If you let them make you, they'll make 
you paper mache 
At a distance you're strong, until 
the wind comes 
Then you crumble and blow away 
If you let them fuck you, there will 
be no fore-play 
Rest assured, they'll screw you complete 
Til your ass is blue and gray 
You should make amends with you 
If only for better health, better health 
But if you really want to live 
Why not try, and make yourself 
Make yourself 
Make yourself 
If I hadn't made me, I'd have fallen apart by now 
I won't let them make me, It's more than I can allow 
So when I make me, I won't be paper mache 
And if I fuck me, I'll fuck me my own way 
POW, fuck me in my own way 
POW, fuck me in my own way 
POW, fuck me in my own way 
Fuck me in my own way 
You should make amends with you 
If only for better health, better health 
But if you really want to live 
Why not try, and make yourself 
Make yourself 
Make yourself 
Make yourself 
Make yourself

Drive

Sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear 
And I cant help but ask myself how much 
I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer 
It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague 
Haunting mass appeal 
Lately I'm beginning to find that I should
 be the one behind the wheel 
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there 
With open arms and open eyes yeah 
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, 
I'll be there 
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be 
one of the hive 
Will I choose water over wine and hold my
 own and drive, oh oh 
It's driven me before, it seems to be the way 
That everyone else get around 
Lately, I'm beginning to find that when I 
drive myself, my light is found 
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there 
With open arms and open eyes yeah 
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there 
Would you choose water over wine 
Hold the wheel and drive 
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there 
With open arms and open eyes yeah 
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there

Clean

Today, everything was fine fine fine 
Until roundabout quarter to 9, suddenly
 I found myself in a bind, a bind 
Was it something I said 
Something I read 
And manifest that's getting you down 
Don't you dare come to bed with that 
ambiguous look in your eye 
I'd sooner sleep by an open fire and 
wake up fried 
Say what u will 
Say what u mean 
No, you could never offend 
Your dirty words come out clean, clean 
Tomorrow, what price will I pay 
Could I make it all up to you by serving 
coffee for two in bed, would you then 
give me the time of day 
I need a map of your head, translated 
into english so I can learn to not make you frown 
Feel better if you vent, put your frustrations
 into four letter words and let them out on mine 
The most weathered ears in town! 
Say what u will 
Say what u mean 
No, you could never offend 
Your dirty words come out clean 
Clean [x6] 
Say what u will 
Say what u mean 
No, you could never offend 
Your dirt words come out clean 
Say what u will 
Say what u mean 
No, you could never offend 
Your dirty words come out clean, clean

I Miss You

To see you when I wake up, is a gift 
I didn't think could be real 
To know that you feel the same, as I 
do, is a Three-fold utopian dream 
You do something to me 
That I can't explain 
So would I be out of line, If I said 
I miss you. 
I see your picture, I smell your skin 
on, the empty pillow next to mine 
You have only been gone ten days, but 
already I am wasting away 
I know I'll see you again 
Whether far or soon 
But I need you to know, that I care 
And I miss you

Pardon Me

Pardon me while I burst 
Pardon me while I burst 
A decade ago, I never thought I would be. 
A twenty three on the verge of 
spontaneous combustion. Woe-is-me 
But I guess that it comes with
 the territory. 
An ominous landscape of never-
ending calamity. 
I need you to hear. I need you to see. 
That I have had all I can take 
And exploding seems like a 
definite possibility 
To me 
So Pardon me while I burst into flames. 
I've had enough of the world, 
and its people's mindless games 
So Pardon me while I burn, and 
rise above the flame 
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never 
be the same. 
Not, two days ago I was having a look in a book 
And I saw a picture of a guy fried
 up above his knees 
I said I can relate 
Cause lately I've been thinking of 
combustication as a welcomed vacation from. 
The burdens of the planet earth, 
like gravity,
 hypocrisy, and the perils of
 being in 3-D... 
And thinking so much differently. 
Pardon me while I burst into flames. 
I've had enough of the world, 
and it's people's mindless games 
Pardon me while I burn, and
 rise above the flame 
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll 
never be the same. 
Never be the same...yeah. 
Pardon me while I burst into flames. 
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me. 
So pardon me while I burst into flames. 
I've had enough of the world,
 and it's people's mindless games 
So pardon me while I burn, 
and rise above the flame 
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never 
be the same. 
Pardon me, never be the same. Yeah

Out From Under

To resist is to piss in the wind, anyone
 who does will end up smelling 
Knowing this why do I defy 
Cuz my inner voice is yelling 
There is a fist pressing against, anyone
 who thinks something compelling 
Our intuit we're taught to deny 
And our soul we're told is for selling 
Get out from under them 
Resist and multiply 
Get out from under precipice 
Bless and see the sky 
Get out from under them 
Resist, unlearn, defy 
Get out from under precipice 
Bless and see the sky 
To resist is to piss in the wind, anyone
 who does will end up smelling 
Knowing this why do I defy 
Cuz my inner voice is yelling 
There is a fist pressing against, anyone
 who thinks something compelling 
Our intuit we're taught to deny 
And our soul we're told is for selling 
Get out from under them 
Resist and multiply 
Get out from under precipice 
Bless and see the sky 
Get out from under them 
Resist, unlearn, defy 
Get out from under precipice 
Bless and see the sky 
See the sky (see the sky) 
See the sky (see the sky) 
See the sky (see the sky) 
Resist and multiply (resist and multiply) 
Resist and multiply 
Get out from under them 
Resist and multiply 
Get out from under precipice 
Bless and see the sky 
Get out from under them 
Resist, unlearn, defy 
Get out from under precipice 
Bless and see the sky 
See the sky 
See the sky 
See the sky
