1. OXYGEN

north to south now give it up and get out if the west is where it lies, does the sun set to disguise loyalty amidst stupidity, if I do down, no one will hear you drown…you feel the oxygen getting less as shorter breaths compress the chest…is this what you thought it would be forever under destiny a face in the crowd don’t talk too loud don’t talk at all…you see the days through time lapse blinks as longer winks out sync the inks you knew the way it had to end as dried out pens failed to comprehend cause words can damage more than you can manage so what you say can change your world most definitely don’t talk literally don’t talk

2. SCRIBBLED

you meant I guess something completely different then but if it helps on the floor words scribbled in pen do you remember what you said you felt I guess something completely different then but if it helps on the floor words scribbled in pen I remember what you said…I want you around I want to be there for the ups the in betweens the downs I want you around…you knew I guess something completely different then but it wont help anymore those words scribbled in pen

3. DILEMMAS

up and ground all around silence and sound struggling to stay under light thin to swell all is well heavens to hell hobbled by what is said to be right…is this what you want is this what you have is this what you need all you see …so embrace what is out of reach to obtain the right to teach or even better yet aid in the learning of the growing and the burning dilemmas that are ours…real makes believe and trust that black makes white filtering out our failing to understand pride will concede as must blind gains sight chaotic in the order of the plan

4. OUT

theres nothing left to say tomorrows just another day to make the grade in simple trade the whole time being played out without a say is this the only way…could have handled it differently could have favored it less obviously could have changed more gradually would have made it out eventually… take it back to try again never lacking in efforts to make amends to situations of relation while the timely hesitations stomp the trends out without an end is this the final blend…of giving and more giving to allow for a little more taking

5. LIL’OL’I

prohibited by an inability to lose or even forget your mind only certain to find where you failed you failed to try to try and now its frozen in time now committed to the inescapable fact which you cannot refuse its better like this not better or not or better for worst just better its frozen in time…but you’ve got it its all plotted youre rising to new horizons(2x)…simply make the point by running your mouth up and down this joint cause youre never wrong youre never wrong but the little old I could change around the song until its frozen in time believe in black and white and set the fires to burn the colors inspired to turn this blindness to sight while were frozen in time

6. A SOPHIST’S PROSE

she sends a letter id almost feel better but its as vague as any brown paper bag the rants and raves of loneliness and solitude who do you think ive become to you she sends a letter I hope she feels better but im as hopeful as I am capable to get past this facade and these lies of love when is enough really enough … what holds your days I don’t want to have a falling down what brings your nights in to life…she sends a letter ill never feel better about this bout with every little thing you doubt the decisions the conclusions are these illusions why you are gone tell me why you

7. PINK’N’BABY BLUE

you could be free but not free from you could be high but not hide from you could be gone but not be done you could be…pink and baby blue want to break the rules you know what you need to get started, slam and damn it all stand and leave it all isn’t this what you’ve always wanted…you could be last but still be first you could do best but still feel worse you could be right a but still refuse you could be

8. FUNNY & STRANGE

how can one boy be so capable yet be so replaceable you go and find another one and another one cause its fashionable aren’t you laughable(2x)…isn’t it funny and strange how nobody thought I(you) could change I guess they were wrong…how can one girl seem so logical yet be so impractical you give it up right here and right then do you think its radical when your terrible

9. WHAT TO DO

when the lights go out an education always starts with doubt and focus clears it all away theres nothing left to change so here to stay, while minutes pass do all there is to make these hours last when time is all there is to take take shape so you don’t have to wait…to see what it will be while getting lost in the monotony but still aware of what is there a picture worth an even longer stare…when sound is all around the only way is to get down get down and ground is shaking don’t be afraid and don’t be left waiting

10. THE AIR IS BAD

but its not safe in here the air is bad the waters turned to dust just in the nick of time as all was lost to trusting in ideas of prosperity while struggling with gravity, a symbol of a tragedy traveling so suspiciously…I fear some fears are gaining mass enough its straining on the pass beyond the doors where wanting more is not wanting better and I feel some feelings come with warranties but a far cry from guarantee you only mean as much as you can mean and I believe the eyes deceive the sight to peer into whats wrong and right with all we see as scenes begin to interchange and I don’t do what I should do because I do what I can to make it better worthy of forever

11. CIRLING FREELY

unaware of the scare youll be receiving perhaps its because you are thinking your constantly circling freely around with this new alternative life I think youd better stop make believing…cause I wanted I wanted I wanted you to stay but you needed you needed you needed to leave right away…in the way of everything that did not concern you as wishing it all would be washed away carefully so not to burn you with claims of blame to hold you accountable its safe to say its not possible without a care in the world did you forget who you cared for I don’t mean to tell you I told you so but I so did and I can not believe I did not see this one coming but would it have been any different if I so did

12. GOLD

so many questions run through my head what were the reasons behind what we said and why does it take so long to finally know whats going on all these dreams break my sleep cause we can never hold what we can never keep to much regret lost inside its getting harder and harder to hide…we cant go back to what we used to know days gone times past and we are far from gold far from gold…images flash with a blink of an eye can you tell me why it feels more real than the actual time and why does this haunt me and the very thing I want no one can tell you what you want but what you have don’t let go cause what you have will seem to fade and when you turn away its turned back to gold

13. IMPOSSIBLE

impractical and improbable and yet unmentionable all for the impossible mostly discrete with the tongue in cheek so mild and so meek all for the sweet…surrender from up under the thumb it feels like a ton but they come one by one, surrender so the days can move like sand and slip through your hand while you fail to comprehend, surrender cause a stones throw away is the closest one can get to stay and play with this regret … deviation from mass conclusion’s come to pass on as time fails to fall back on all for one main obsession too short and too short lived way too much to give for how we live all for the definitive

14. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

was it because of the way that you were you heard the words slur I knew I spoke clearly was it because of your alliances you had you made your world bad I just had to know did your conclusions come slow…you’ll feel lost when the eyes cross and finally put an end to all this blindness what happens next is any ones guess…was it all about the ‘fix on the wall that gave you your call I don’t see us seeing eye to eye was because what you had never become was common sense to everyone if morals are the cure then your disease is like an influenza was it how you thought it should have played out that clouded you with doubt be certain of one thing was it just a simple matter of choice that cost you your voice how little did you learn does someone have to tell you fire will burn

15. TAKE IT ALL AWAY

crossing me and wanting something done, not a good combination placing this predicament to face to the back now this is where its at…you take it all away to find there’s something in the way your mind tries to make it all the same exhausting every last resource making room for this remorse doing all to avoid this course of blame…controlling rolling emotions of few of the proud in the crowd is it allowed disassociating me from them the stronger wind always one ups the helm implying eyes seeming to rise to meet the level of the thoughts that travel seeing the chance to change the chance to be the same seems to scheme to break the dreams we dream

16. TREMBLE

it would be dangerous she said for us to keep talking so we kept talking it would be coincidence I said to get another chance so just forget it now I cant forget it…but its like the dream where no one knows what you mean and every face in every dream just seems to be like home…it would be way out of norm she moved to inform me to not act normal and get uninformal it would be a case of out of state out of mind I thought but surely enough to remind me of whats worth not forgetting

17. REASON TO WAIT

the clock on the wall was so late yet hardly did that hinder any effort being made to ensure that its fair avoid all eye contact and in all ways be aware…that this must be chance might this be coincidence this might be fate perhaps to much dismay a reason to make it wait…the crowd in the room was so fierce but would care less about newly adapted guest lists when in fact this very outcast helped lower stress and put it all to rest…the shape of this mind frame in this insane instance bent by the broad side of this altruistic advance hopeless to please no hope to plead pledge allegiance to the deed, make room to believe

18. EXACTLY

wanted so badly but hardly tried when time to shine made it all dull and rough never could say never whenever never was never nearly enough…exactly what actually happened disguised reality by fooling fading eyes soon to be forgotten …felt like the feeling type by feeling so typically lost and without a cause stopped short by short comings when shortages stopped any changing cost said it most justly just as trustworthy sayings have a benefit knowing now knowing how is not always known for its unknown limits

19. LIMELIGHT LADY

surprisingly simple a truly great idea just walk away before its time to steal defining everything explaining rights and wrongs but knowings always right as it was going going gone…little bit of everything was mixing need of dire fixing…but on the brighter side breaking free from the limelight lady was probably worth the while apparently the only right maybe …a conscious effort with an effortless try making a move right for it before ever feeling alive

20. STARED HARDER

I’ve been shaken I’ve been stirred I’ve been spotted I’ve been blurred I’ve been taken I’ve been moved I’ve been feeding I’ve been food…I’m not the man I was when I started this feeling like I haven’t tried but I’ve already missed I’m not the man who puts himself aside while others cant help you cant help but hide …we were grabbing water and coming up with air you starred harder at the no ones that were there…we faced your fears and found you already know were you’ve ended up but not were you need to go

21. CHINESE PRETEND

sun is on the ground, water in the sky, such duality…go ahead no one really gave it away simplicity is rarely simple and sane…footprints on the leaves, butterflies internally, how appropriate…go ahead no one really gave it away simplicity is rarely simple and sane, wait a minute its getting super crazy again, the way its spinning is like something out of Chinese pretend…spinning like in Chinese pretend, the fight is all in your head, the truth is in how its bled…calligraphy to disguise, thoughts to change perception, by the way…go ahead no one really gave it away simplicity is rarely simple and sane, wait a minute its getting super crazy again, the way its spinning is like something out of Chinese pretend…spinning like in Chinese pretend, the fight is all in your head, the truth is in how its bled

22. ON THE ONE

so do you think you have to face the facing, so do you think you need to escape the gracing, so do you think that you can retrace the changing, raging world…the words are wrong but what is wrong, the dance is off time in an off time song, no real problem on the one but lately late nights are a feeding ground….does having it all make you fake the failing, does feeling it all keep you awake to placating, does thinking what you can do retake the staking of the breaking world…the words are wrong but what is wrong, the dance is off time in an off time song, no real problem on the one but lately late nights are a feeding ground…the words are wrong but what is wrong, the dance is off time in an off time song, no real problem on the one but lately late nights, lately late nights, lately late nights are a feeding ground

23. MAMA WITH THE JAM

spoon fed, like mama with the jam and the crushed aspirin you only want it if you know you get it then again you probably don’t get that, hand held, like the way you still and always will cross the streets, couldn’t cut it alone even after disaster I’m sure you’d turn it and shatter it with laughter…that’s why, while feverishly cherishing me, your style was mistakenly vanquished by me, and that’s how, in spite of the insight, your words became ways by which worlds would fight

24. LIKE IT OR NOT

its like the body to body had got them out of line but when their minds found the time they found themselves were the one thing they couldn’t find talk about a split of personalities always painful when you don’t know possibilities…little by little its literally the losing road like it or not it’s the way its likely to go…its like the swelter of shelter had left them in a freeze but in a breeze left falling free like autumn leaves now leaving is much easier to please talk about not falling far from family trees always pointless when you don’t know possibilities
