Faster on Fire 01:18

Give me a choice I want to teach I want to learn I want to burn Give me a voice I'll try to reach I'll blaze a path And we'll all burn So that's why I'm waiting That's all that I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for I've got a choice In every day In every step In every turn And I've got a voice To speak and sing Even blaspheme So I'll just burn So why am I waiting? What are we waiting for? What are you waiting for?

Come on now make us proud I know you can Let's give this world a song that it can dance to Go out, expand your lines There's so much love to feel Make every single breath something to dance to I'd like to thank the universe for the ability to accept what I can't change Let's create something fun Let's use our hands We'll find a source of love we can reproduce And leave the scripts at home Feel something real Make every single step your brand new dance move And like the shepherd boy, we'll find our buried gold We'll find it buried deep within our soul Did you think that good things come if you just wait? How could you ever beat those that give chase? So don't waste your time And don't you dare waste mine 'Cause I won't waste your time By wasting mine

Delia 03:36

We once drowned in the seasons Because they became routine From scorching summers to windswept winters Just changed from short to long sleeve We took oxygen for granted Because of its abundance Cut down the trees in the forests So much for things we once danced Don't let me forget my ties to this soil Don't let me lose sight of how lucky I am I feel the sun's rays on my skin Breathe in the company of friends Forget all doubts and all fear of failure It's about how all these breaths are spent Don't let me forget my ties to these souls Don't let us lose sight of how lucky we are One day this dirt will be my blanket And one day in turn I'll become dirt So at least I'll continue with my purpose And I can keep future generations warm For now I'll soak up the seasons And make loving my routine Through scorching summers and windswept winters I shall never cease to sing

Rebirth 04:10
lyrics

She's been trying to run Outrun the setting sun 'Cause she's scared of the dark Scared of her heart And we've been trying to hide All our demons inside But there's no way to hide Away from our own eyes It seems these monsters just grow larger I never meant to protein feed and exercise my greed It's just the way of life here The way of life now Do you ever find yourself Wishing you were somewhere else than here? We live in our own hell Composed of our own cells; it's clear We are the monsters that we fear They don't want your self-actualization They don't want your soul to be recognized So they'll give you simple satisfactions Hoping you remain pacified We have compromised We gave up our lives For comforts and complacency We choose to reside where we'll least be bothered We have settled down We've all settled now Picked poisons in hopes we all die high Live in the dead dreams of our forefathers So it seems as monsters we've grown larger I never thought I'd be the hand dealing my own defeat It's just the way up the ladder The way of life now If it seems as monsters we grow larger Can you please find your soul and remain small with me Reject the way of life here The way of life now

Epiphany on Relativity 02:47
lyrics

I'm an overnight success After years of trying Money's still tight But the future's bright I've got so many avenues Where I can outlet all my blues And strive to someday inspire Do you dream of the spotlight? Are you just after the profits? Or is creating your birthright? Do you enjoy the process? I know I sound cliche But that's 'cause you never listen If you're not in love with today Then there's just so much you're missing This ain't about the results It's about the chance to create The chance to say something I spent years unknown Later to find that's when I did my best I'm an overnight success After years of trying Money's still tight But the future's bright I've got so many avenues Where I can outlet all my blues And strive to someday inspire Are you still holding out for extra zeroes? 'Cause I'm just holding out for a deal that keeps my soul intact Some artists left obscure, returned as hometown heroes And though it's not tangible, the day I found peace in my heart I became An overnight success After years of trying Money's still tight But the future's bright I've got so many avenues Where I can outlet all my blues And strive to someday inspire I'm an overnight success After years of trying Money's still tight But the future's bright I've got so many avenues Where I can outlet all my blues And strive to someday inspire

lyrics

With eyelids closed to rest You'll have none of the bad thoughts Nothing that's bad at all Hands that fold across the chest To guard your heart from the daggers and demons If I could sing you to sleep You think you'd rest so peaceful Without the memories that creep inside She's got a world to face Reputation to uphold Smile to keep in place "She's just a girl," they say "Expectations are too bold" "She'll never maintain that pace" So take a page from the idols who never quit They never said "enough" Grab a pen, write a title as you see fit "A world that's filled with love" He's got a job to do People depending on his Commitment to follow through Too many things accrue He must default his promise Worst nightmares coming true So take advice from the heroes who learned to fly First they had to learn to fall With an effort that's zero, without fight You'll never do anything at all With eyelids closed to rest You'll have none of the bad thoughts Nothing that's bad at all Hands that fold across the chest To guard your heart from the daggers and demons If I could sing you to sleep You think you'd rest so peaceful Without the memories that creep inside And make you doubt the things you could be We've all got mountains to climb With baggage to carry And burdens to weigh us down So find the strength in your heart and your mind Let the past just get buried See potential all around So take a line from the poets who chose to write Turned all their pain into their fuel Build a boat, learn to row it, take your strife And squeeze it into a jewel Don't you let them bring you down You've got everything: potential to be the best Would you rather be in the ground? That's the only way to guarantee your lost With eyelids closed to rest You'll have none of the bad thoughts Nothing that's good at all Hands that fold across the chest Will block your heart from all lovers and true friends If singing kept you from sleep I'd spend every breath on you Just so that I'd keep you alive And show you all the things we'd achieve

Existential Design 02:55
lyrics

Could you take your chances on a rhythm riding boat? Would you untie the tether from the shore? And we'd set sails for no regrets, guided by the stars Still we'd have access to every door And we could let them call us hippies Hopeless dreamers, romantics They could pass their judgments with their ever-landlocked legs But I'd rather be artists than critics Could you take my hand upon this magic carpet ride? Would you trust me to save you from the fall? We could float high above these constant warring worlds And we'd be prisoners to no walls And maybe we'll be disregarded For treating life so cavalier Maybe we'll be dismissed as a failed experiment But I'd rather test love than live in fear So take your shot Chase your dreams with everything you've got Heaven is reserved for those who try Like you and I So maybe we're destined for nothing All plans are just within our minds We just have to do the best with the choices that we make But who could think of a better design?

Hippie Philosophy 03:55
lyrics

She was the mighty wind She pushed our ships across the sea And we claimed discovery She is the mighty wind She carries planes along the sky And we say we learned to fly 'Cause she could carry our voices But she could also drown them out So when we respect her power then we Can revel in her sound It is the shining sun Casting down life with all its rays And we think that we create Regard the brilliant sun Casting down light so we can see And we waste electricity 'Cause it could light up our faces But it could also blind our eyes So when we respect its power then we Can dance in its light This world is not for our taking This world is not ours alone We must mind the steps we're making Here is this little man Working to see the fruit of all his hands And struggling to understand Don't think him tiny, man He'll change the world with all his thoughts 'Cause through thoughts we become gods So we must raise up our voices But always mind our ears and eyes For when we fully grasp our power then we Control our lives

You could say mine aren't the soundest plans Pack up and map unchartered lands Armed with my mind and my ambition You could sit home safely on your hands Claim I'll fall victim to romance Dreaming is my fatal addiction So take me away Wash my worries away Carry me away from all the nay say You could live your life behind a desk Then twice a month collect your checks Invest it all in low risk assets Make sure to not stick out your neck Just keep your head down; pass your tests And kiss all of your bosses' asses No, take me away Float my burdens away Carry me away, I'd rather create

Red Paint 02:25
lyrics

We've accepted a system That's built up on Inequality Expecting to pick a poison 'Cause there's no cure Hope it kills us slowly So assign values as you see fit Can I place a price upon your head? So call up McCarthy And tell him the red scare's alive and well It just got a melody Et un nouvel ami And make me a monster through media Show my mediocrity And I'll be The poster child for our enemies You call it underachieving But I regard All that's done as such I've got the heart that is bleeding But you oh You've got that Midas touch But what will you do with all your shit When you can't take it with you? The irony is it takes you with it

Horizon 03:07

This may seem like our darkest hour Questions of from where the bacon may come But to find yourself, you must get lost And bask in the darkness before dawn But I've got no reason To doubt we'll be fine 'Cause I've still got And I've got no answers But I've got a good mind To follow my heart This may feel like a fatal blow Revoke the promise for the future you long to hold But we cannot lose sight of the cause A winning streak only follows a loss And we've got no space left For housing hatred Nor have the time You could resent the world for The things you're denied Or just love your life I want to be a person who takes charge of my situation I want to reap the goodness that I sow I want to be an artist listed often as inspiration Show you the places you could go 'Cause we've got all reason To know we'll be fine 'Cause we're still gods There's no need for answers Just all our good minds Combined with good hearts

Comfort 03:55

Margerie spends all her days in her head Drowning in the worries The things that they've said And it's all wasted time and energy Her mother says, "Baby, don't mind all their words" "It's a dangerous world" "For you beautiful girls" "As there's things in the weak like jealousy" "For a girl" "So they'll try to break her down" "And I know you'd like to show them that you're strong" "But just remember" It's ok to cry It's ok to need somebody sometimes You've been told since you were young But forgot 'cause of your pride It's ok to cry Jonathan has got himself down in the dumps Faced with consequence He threatens to jump Says he'd rather no longer be His doctor says, "Brother, get out of this funk" "Life's road is a long one" "That's full of its bumps" "And there's wonders you've yet to see" "Like the light at the end of this struggle" "And I know it's hard to see past all your troubles" "So in the mean time" It's ok to cry It's ok to lean on some others sometimes You've been told since you were young But forgot 'cause of your pride It's ok to cry 'Cause there's magic within you Yeah, there's music within you It's ok to cry It's ok to need somebody sometimes We've been told since we were young But forgot 'cause of our pride It's ok We'll be ok It's ok to cry

Potential 04:24

There's no way around it This time is all we get And the memories are all we'll be No life is perfect We do the best with what we get Then live with the blame or the glory So you can't let it go Without knowing That you gave it all 'Cause if the time runs out And I've got something left Then I'm wasted We live in this moment 'Cause what's past cannot be changed While the future is at the present's mercy So live without regret Take the lessons from your pain As we can always learn from our own hurting But you can't let it go Without knowing That you gave it all So when the time runs out If I've got something left Then I'm wasted So you can't let it go Without knowing That you gave it all 'Cause when the time runs out If I've got something left Then I'm wasted
