1. Collide
It’s happening once more
There’s something so familiar about this world of mine
And I know I’ve been here before
I’ve seen these sights
I’ve heard these sounds a million times
And I think I know why
We’re all trapped inside a loop of time for all our lives
And the world repeats itself precisely…endlessly
Every second, every moment, every kiss good bye
They remain, they stay the same until the end of days
Until time and space collide
Suppose that time’s a circle perpetually bending back upon itself
We don’t know we’re constantly reborn into the same form
With no chances but the hand we’ve been dealt
Destined to repeat ourselves
Because we’re all trapped inside a loop of time for all our lives
And the world repeats itself precisely…endlessly
Every second, every moment, every kiss good bye
They remain, they stay the same until the end of days
But I’m fine just to know that I’m alive
There is nothing temporary in this life
I knew there’s some truth to déjà vu
I feel for you, the pitiful
The miserable
The vulnerable
The weak of mind
But I’m fine just to know that I’m alive
2. Subordinate
You…You better watch your mouth this time
Cuz words are deceiving and you just crossed the line
So how does your foot taste?
It takes time to learn you’re not invincible and humans are fallible
Warning: Your self-destruction’s forming
Stay on that track
You can’t look back
Stop dwelling in the past
Your guilty conscience holds you down
Restrains you and keeps you and knocks you to the ground
So pay no attention
You can tell that goddamn cricket, “Take your help then go and fuck yourself…”
Warning: Your self-destruction’s forming
Stay on that track
You can’t look back
Stop dwelling in the past
Once you face the truth
Things are bound to get better for you
If you look ahead and live with no regrets
Should you fall…Do not fret…No regrets…Face the truth
Live and learn that you’re human too
I don’t know why you’d throw your life away
Cut yourself off and watch yourself decay
So pay close attention
It’s not hard to learn what you can’t seem to get…To live without regret
If fear consumes you
Things are bound to get better for you
If you look ahead and live with no regrets
3. Escape
4. The Game
I know you disapprove of my decision
I’ve been dying to prove my position
Once I had the guts to say when you were wrong
Now that spark inside me is gone
I sacrificed my life for this
And I will not run away
Because there’s no escape I know from those who don’t listen
Those who never listen
There is no medicine for those who don’t listen
Those who never listen
I have played this game…Old and sour
I know who’s to blame…You’re such a coward
Once upon a time I got some sage advise
Never argue with a fool
I sacrificed my life for this
And I will not run away
Because there’s no escape I know from those who don’t listen
Those who never listen
There is no medicine for those who don’t listen
Those who never listen
They use you…Get used to it
5. SLO
I’m out on a ledge looking down
Priorities changing instantly
Open, exposed…Breaking down
Until everything becomes clear to me
If I could just slow down I know I’d feel this way most every day and say
I’ve made up my mind
I’m alive and nothing can ever take that away
Nothing’s ever set in stone
Clutch your stone and don’t let go
I dive into white wash
Breaking through the curl of blue
I tame the chaos
Water cools and makes anew
If I could just slow down I know I’d feel this way most every day and say
I’ve made up my mind
I’m alive and nothing can ever take that away
Nothing’s ever set in stone
Clutch your stone and don’t let go
Oh, brother mine
Help me to redefine myself
To use this stepping stone to never be alone
This is my stepping stone…My stepping stone
Now I know…Take it slow
Clutch that stone and don’t let go
Friend or foe, the ebb and flow have to show room to grow
So clutch that stone
Don’t let go of the stepping stone
Now I know…Take it slow
Clutch that stone…Don’t let go
Nothing’s ever set in stone
Clutch your stone and don’t let go
Oh, brother mine
Help me to redefine myself
To use this stepping stone to never be alone
This is my stepping stone…My stepping stone
6. The Well
7. 2 Birds 0 Stones
It was far too late to change her mind
Since the day we met I laid it all on the line
Only to find she wouldn’t leave
I couldn’t believe it when she told me that she loved me
So I took her to bed but I should have said to her
No fucking way!
I’m damned if I don’t and damned if I do
I thought I heard those three little words
Tell me how do I get rid of you
I’m damned if I don’t and damned if I do
No self-control…I need to know
Tell me how do I get rid of you
This familiar stranger, six years gone
Couldn’t seem more right…couldn’t be more wrong
In retrospect I don’t regret the situation’s ending
And though I took her to bed I know I should have said to her
No fucking way!
I’m damned if I don’t and damned if I do
I thought I heard those three little words
Tell me how do I get rid of you
I’m damned if I don’t and damned if I do
No self-control…I need to know
Tell me how do I get rid of you
8. Step Outside
A conversation with myself
Remarkable reflections show themselves to me
As I find myself consumed by thoughts that hold me
Witness to a one-sided tug-of-war
And I promised to…I need to stop
But I’m mesmerized…I can’t step outside
I’m caught in the mirror
Hypnotized by colored images
Spinning, turning, rolling in my head
I can’t see through this drifting cloud of smoke
Unable to discern fact from fiction
I must find a way
So I close my eyes and step outside to see what’s real
Close your eyes to step outside
As I step outside I hear the voice that told me
Just what it was I first came out here for
And I promised to…I need to start
So I close my eyes and step outside the mirror
9. Time and Again
Why not learn to accept this life that you are living?
Only a fool would pass up the chances they’ve been given
Realize that love surrounds you
And with no consequences to defend
Embrace the light that lets you start again
Dust off your wings before they grow moldy rotten
You know the feeling…Or have you forgotten
Just let the weightlessness surround you
Then the body will lift…The mind ascends
Embrace the light that lets you start again
I’m fearful…I’m afraid…I’m terrified
That you won’t see the light my friend
Do I need to prove this, Lord knows I’ve tried
Time and time and time again
10. Little Pill
With this little pill
I see the world before me as if from a sill
Lifted off the ground
I’m rolling
With this little pill
My eyes feel both wide open
Never standing still
Interactive and outspoken
One little pill that takes you up and higher
Until you scrape the sky
I’m flying
I’m floating away
With this little pill
I become my greatest version
Transforming will
Rebirth…A different person
With this little pill
This power surges through me
With this little pill
I sense new urges looming
One little pill that takes me up and higher
Until I scrape the sky
I’m flying
I’m floating away
11. Albert the Asteroid
12. Issues of Trust
What would you do if everything you thought to be true was just a lie
And the reasons why were as vague as the sky?
What would you do if everybody you thought that you knew turned out a fraud?
Just turn a cold shoulder to your god
I’ll be okay
No thanks to you and the dirty things that you do
How could it be I’ve been deceived by the only one I want to believe?
I sit and grieve for the ones who bereave
How could it be I failed to see that I hold the key to right the wrong
Since I’ve known it’s been there all along?
I’ll be okay
No thanks to you and the dirty things that you do
I refuse to beat up on you
I have done those dirty things too
When confronting issues of trust
Leave all deceivers in the dust
Believe in yourself and you’ll find that the strength is in you
13. So Long
Please…I need you more than ever before…Come to me
Because you are the one
You make it right when shit’s all messed up
You are the one
Please…Don’t ever let me fall that far…No not again
Because you were the one who made so long, so long
Give me up and expect more of the same
Give me up but don’t be ashamed
Living is the only way to prove why you bleed
So ashamed
Integrity is not the only virtue I need
So help me…Please
No…This is not the way I wanted things to end
Because you are the one
You make it right when shit’s all messed up
You are the one
Please…Just understand that none of this was done in vain
I can’t explain
It seems lately I don’t have the will to fight no more
Waiting, contemplating about being alone
Individuality is all that matters to me
I’ve gone insane
It seems lately I don’t have the will to fight no more
Hating, always grating me right down to the bone
Individuality is all that matters to me
Hating, contemplating about being alone in this world
All I need is to believe the answers will come
Because I am the one
I am the only one I know of
I am the one
Please…I need a little more…I just need to taste it
Because it feels so wrong it’s been so long, so long
Give me up and expect more of the same
14. Delusional
