What's Your Rush
01:59
|
|||
|
Walking fast
Tell me what's your rush
It is practical mindedness
Rushing to wait
Have you always got a place
That's better than this
And did language teach you quick
Before and after
Matter more than this
Tell me what's your rush

Steady Formation
02:00
|
|||
|
Sipping coffee
Slipping in and out of daydreams
Somewhere else
The clouds still passing by
Keeping rhythm with the ripples in the water
Up and down and up and down
A light breeze sifting through each blade
While footsteps pass on by
When suddenly
The ships rolled in
A steady eye on the horizon
Camo on their bodies
And guns
Ready to unload
You'll be assured
The waves from the ship
Keep the ripples in a steady formation

A Part of Being
02:01
|
|||
|
You have to take the good with the rest
You can't just pick and choose what you'd like to experience
If you'd prefer you can be blank and unfeeling
But I'd rather be struggling to get up that mountain
Just to get the satisfaction of finishing something
Than to walk down a flat cold street
To a vanishing point I'd never meet
You have to take the change with each moment
Remember there's good and bad in everything
And you can be glad anytime that you truly want to be
But there will always be times
To be sad and righteously angry
And you will want to be
It's a part of being

For Comfort's Sake
01:30
|
|||
|
The sun sets a little later these days
Time to emerge from the dark age
So we can stretch our legs a bit further
And we can be a bit warmer
Living
Feeling
Trying to breath
Or just stretch out a bit
For comfort's sake
|

Reflections
01:34
|
|||
|
The trees lined up like gravestones
Leafless and cold
To the side of the highway
With a sky as clear as a window
The road shrinking in the distance
Deceiving our eyes
Reflections distorting reality
|
||||

Long Gone
01:33
|
|||
|
Free time gone
I keep along
Just pushing through
Living true
Trying to keep it as simple as I can
Free things gone
I put the stress aside
Pushing past
Working fast
Keeping whats gone behind me
Freedom gone
I keep my anger inside
Taking it slow
Never letting it show
Just thinking bum ba di dom ba
The end is nearer than you think

Wind Me Up
01:50
|
|||
|
They wind you up while you're sleeping
To keep you rolling on
To keep you working hard
Cause you ain't nothing less you keep working
And it's not about what you want
Its about what you can do
So the best thing to be done
Is learn to cope with it
We're all just coping
That violence you keep preaching
Pumps thick through our veins
But we know damn well who our enemy is
And he's got a transparent grin
|

Baby Killer
03:22
|
|||
|
How can you be so casual
With that empty smile
You speak of slaughter
With a hearty laugh
Well maybe that's what it takes
To be a hero in this place
To make your parents proud of you
God knows you've done the best that you could
My old friend
The baby killer

No Time in Nowhere
02:48
|
|||
|
There is no time in nowhere
And when you return you will still be
The same as you always have been
But with a clean slate
And you will build as you always have done
There is no time in nowhere
|

Lush
03:10
|
|||
|
But the rhythms of the past keep creeping in
They crawl up my spine
And take the comfort from my own skin
Looking around
For someone to chase the beat with
I'm feeling for confidence
Every once in a while
You just need to give it a push
And it will keep moving
Lush

Lines in the Sand
02:48
|
|||
|
I do feel I've been conned into
Something I'm terribly ashamed of
And I bet you feel you've been taken advantage of
By these blood sucking leeches
Who think they own everything
And think they have the right
To take anything they like
And our mother weeps
Acid rain drops
And she feels she's been taken advantage of
After all, she's been nothing but generous
But everyone's got their line to draw
In the sand

Thirteen
02:34
|
|||
|
Won't you let me walk you home from school
Won't you let me meet you at the pool
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you
Won't you tell your dad get off my back
Tell him what we said about paint it black
Rock and roll is here to stay
Come inside now it's okay
And I'll shake you
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of
Would you be an outlaw for my love
If it's so then let me know
If it's no then I can go
I won't make you
|

Old Friend
02:13
|
|||
|
When my time comes I will meet him again
I'll walk calm and slowly towards the familiar
Reaching out to greet an old friend
And finally nothing will happen
|

The Language of Emotion
02:25
|
|||
|
Music is the language of emotion
It is boundless and honest
Where language fails
What words cannot say
From one soul to another
Here is a place to feel
The space it opens
Expanding from nothing
As real as anything
