Guard of Change

After everything I've done
You still don't know my name
falling from the rafters
Everyday is just the same
(learning from the master)
I am the operator
I am the guard of change
I am the one behind the buttons when you go insane
I can see the future
A future of my own
Living in this nightmare
No one to call my own
(Born into this nightmare)
Double crossed - what a show
Dress was gleaming - White as snow
Always seem to be replaced
Empty roads will be my fate
Take my hand and take this trip
Swimming in a sea of shit
Keeping all the sharks at bay
So I can see another day

Ready Set Go

Wickers on the front porch
Dead bodies - Too soon?
Hum along to the song
Its a very catchy tune
They all say, 'Its okay'
'Hit rewind and hit replay'
Since there's nothing left to do
Ill have to split myself in two
I keep climbing this mountain
Because I'm good enough
Because I'm smart enough
Because I'm strong enough
Because I don't give a fuck
Chinese checkers...
So how the weather?
Does it get better if I hold it together?
Rising up I see the top

Day by Day
03:06
|

|
Work in the morning, the suns out, I wake up
Waiting for them to come visit, I get up
Watching the souls of the hopeless, we rise up
Taking the path where I'm standing, I man up
Watching police kill civilians, I wake up
Looking for answers in history, I black out
Looking for time traveling Nazis, I faze out
TV programming reminds us to keep out
Taking anything we want
Breaking everything we see
Stepping down on the necks
Taking back our control
God is a problem I call an equation
the extra terrestrials gave us the Asians
If you need answers just summon Carl Sagan
NASAs a smoke screen, your cover ups blatant

Left of Right

I put my feet on the ground
And what I have found
Is I am an island
Hey
Just wanted to say
I think its ok
To run out and play
(-way)
In troubled times I move the mountain myself
(You turn away)
I fall behind and lose control of my health
(And I fade away)
Eternally staring into this mirror
(As you burn away)
I cant believe its been another year
Now
You gotta move on
The silence is gone
You've gotta be strong
LIFE
Each day is a page
So whats your story gonna say
At the end of the day

Hold Me ; Deeply
03:58
|
|||
|
Own me - I cant make up my mind
Hold me - There isn't much time
Take me away, don't let me stay
Here
Drop me down, into the ground
Deep
Walk on by, to say goodbye
Tears
Rest in Peace, You're Now Deceased
Fears
Slowly - The ocean fades away
Solely - The sky will change to grey

Crime Scene
02:43
|
|||
|
I can see the end
I can see again
Even God would say
I'm internal anyway....
Is this real or am I sleeping
Awakening from the dream
This life is a crime scene
So don't even try me
I hope you don't mind me
The visions that blind me
They often remind me
That time kills us lightly

Love
03:25
|
|||
|
Love will never know my name
Wrap it up its all the same
Lose your mind and feel my pain
Giving birth to this exchange
This has been coming for a long time
Terrified and overdone
Seems like I'm the only one
It works for many, mostly some
I'll shine my face into the sun

Nothing To See Here
03:48
|
|||
|
Everything is fine
Watch it fall,over
Heavy on my mind, like a bomb
I'm older
Shooting winks to my friend Major Tom
Controller
Nothing to see here, remain calm
Disorder
Every time I close my eyes I see the world I wanna see
These politicians are trash
They're fucking kids in their ass
You give them all of your cash
Call it 'Government'
Believing all that you see
Everything thats on TV
You want everything you see
Kiss it goodbye
Everything you know is just a lie
You'll thank me
Sorry that I told you late in life
I'm sorry...

The Answer is a Question
03:23
|
|||
|
Is this my life?
What the hell do I do?
Is it my fault?
Or is it you?
Nothing is for certain
Everything is risky
Everyone has questions
So we take a look inside
Anchors dropped in the past
And we hope this feeling will pass
Taking what is needed
Tomorrows not too far
Take me away now

My World
04:36
|
|||
|
From inside the system
Those days we all miss them
We often forget them
And kiss them good bye
Deciphering the mysteries
In everyone's histories
I'm trying to move forward
But I cant go on
You cant change my world
Is it better to see things
With my understanding
Or would it better to know nothing at all?
Is it the season, is it the reason
That solo grows old and yearns for something to hold
I see the tunnel at the end with a light
And I'll see it through
I see the tunnel at the end with the light
And I'll see it through
I see the the tunnel and the trains coming by
And I'll see it through
I'm in the tunnel and the train is my guide
And I'll see it through
