I don't know what I've been told, to sell you soul on the yellow brick road. I don't know if I like my chances, fallen off in this big romance. you don't seem to notice much, and I'm not going to bother you at all. I think a little to much, follow along let's get stuck. If you're going away Why don't you go! If you're going insane Why don't you go! And I don't know what I've been sold, told your soul there's gold at the end of this road. and I don't know if I like my chances, stumbling along is my escape plan. If you're going away Why don't you go! If you're going insane Why don't you go! If you're going away Why don't you go! I am going insane this I know!

Another season is ending Broken hearted tree's leaves are bleeding, Filled with questions from before, Empty thoughts and remorse. Another season has died A summer that's gone inside This apple is forbidden fruit I will offer it to you. _____ Filled with questions from before I'll ask less and listen more. Filled with questions from before I'll ask less and listen more. ___ The shell I see is rotten Death is kind we've forgotten Spent my time trying to let go On and on and on it goes. _____ Filled with questions from before I'll ask less and listen more. Filled with questions from before I'll ask less and listen more. ___

Good day sir I say no no turn up your nose now go. Good day sir I say Oh no Turn up your nose now go Judgment day has come. I thought that you where something else, I know you are not what I thought you where. _____ Good day sir I said no no turn up your nose now go Good day sir I say uh oh turn up your nose now go judgment day has come. I thought that you where something else, I know you are not what I thought you where. ____ Good Day Sunshine my time has come to a close. Good Day Sunshine my time has come to a close. Good Day Sunshine my time has come to a close. Good Day Sunshine my time has come to a close.

Here I am again Apparition of a friend. Frozen recluse I tie this noose to keep me from you, to keep me from you. And I, prey. I am not What I wanted to be Parasitically speaking I'm going to die. Frozen recluse I tie this noose to keep me from you, to keep me from you. ____ I, Here I am again Headed towards the end We are everywhere Practitioners of despair. ____ I, Here I am again Headed towards the end We are everywhere Practitioners of despair.

Part Of Me 03:57
There's a part of me There's a part of you There's a part of both of us Knows what to do. So I go By myself So far away. I go By myself So far away. There's a place in me There's a place in you There's a place in both of us Knows what's true. So I go Buy myself. So far away. I go Buy myself. So far away. ___ So Far I am left in the dark So far I am what I forgot So go if you truly are afraid. ___ There's a part of me There's a part of you There's a part of everyone Knows what to do. So go By yourself So far away. So go By yourself If you are afraid. ___ So far I am left in the dark So far I am what I forgot So go in you truly are afraid.

I never knew what I knew that's what I know now and I out grew that part of you not that you knew how I never thought that I would be this thing I've become I never wanted to leave This place I am from. I won't look back, back now. ___ I don't know if I can live a life like this, I don't know if when I die I will face my death I don't know that's how I know I'm alive like this I don't know if I can live a life like this. ___ I never left but somehow I'm gone It makes no sense trying to hold on and I'm out here all alone finding my way back to where I'm from. I never thought that I would be This thing I've forgot I never dreamed I'd be me In this way it's a hell of a lot. ____ And I don't know if I can live a lie like this I don't know if my life Will end in death I don't know that's how I know I'm alive like this I don't know if I can live a life Like this. Holding on I'm not holding on I've fallen through, Holding on I'm tryin to hold on holding on with you. Holding on I'm not holding on I've fallen through. Holding on I'm tryin to hold Even though I am gone.

Wider 05:25
I've never been here before and I hope you know. I've never walked these shores, I hope know this, I hope you notice. __ Dying only takes a second Dying only takes a second of your time Dying only takes but a second Dying only a second and then you're fine. ___ Then its back to the show, Back to the coast line, running through the white pines. Back to the river wider than your soul. You always come to me at times like these A faded whisper on the path Stringing me along Guiding me home. And if I have to be wasted to get to sleep consider it a win, A sign that I'm alive, My faint served in time. _____ Dying only takes a second Dying only takes a second of your time Dying only takes but a second Dying only a second and then you're fine. ___ Dying only takes a second Dying only takes a second Dying only takes but a second Dying only a second. ___

Sun May Fall 03:07
The sun might fall time will stop it all plays out on the clock, I don't know what you did and I don't care about it. Go away from this place erase that fabricated face, I'm not interested in the ways I am interested by the way. ____ By the way that you fall to your knee's By the way you allow this to be. _____ The dead might rise and babies bleed, The devils not evil just hard to please. You don't know what they did but you are caught up in it. Go away from this place wash it off your disgrace I'm not interested in the ways I am interested by the way. ____ By the way that you fall to your knee's By the way that you ask to be released.

You never call here anymore, But I'm still calling on you. Snow's been falling for three days, I've been falling for two. I've never seen a light like this one, It's slowly burning right through. I don't see another option, I'm coming home to you. ______ Set fire to the rafters Set fire to the blue At night I roam these hollows Walking by myself with you. ______ Tonight the hills have turned to spiders, I check the house but there's no one inside. If only I was wise enough to know this, Maybe I'd not have to die. _____ Set fire to the rafters, Set fire to the sky, I've searched this whole house over, There's no one inside. _____ Set fire to the rafters, Set fire to the sky, I've searched this whole house over, There's no one inside.

Is this long winter over or was it all just in my head? I've been so caught up... in everything my mind says to me listening to these constant thoughts stuck, Suffering arising out of this. Analytical over processed intellectual cacophony. Then stop thinking your thoughts that are fleeting, this advice I am readily willing in taking This is me attempting of breaking through to a knew way of being but for reasons beyond me I seem.. to be falling. Attempting authenticity is to become a walking talking toxicity who's self imposed imposition is pressing upon my breathing, Preventing me from feeling everything that is failing Fully through which I know somehow is my path towards progressing. There is something that know though not yet to I have the ability to comprehend So All I truly have in my possession is this feeling that feels impossible, Impossible is my thinking thus I am guided towards a knew way of being. ____ I've never seen myself Somehow I've never been anything else. I'm never going to let go, My human nature makes it so. ____ Walk gently now tip-toe around nothing. I've never seen myself somehow Yet right now I've never been anything else. I'm never going to let go, my human nature makes it so. Walk gently and tip the scales, walk fervently and know nothing else. Walk silently in the presence of your own dignity, no one and nothing can be anything else because all of this is the play, Of enlightenment. ___ I've never seen myself Somehow I've never been anything else. I'm never going to let go, My human nature makes it so. Walk gently now, Tip-toe around nothing. ____

Jack in the box I ain't no proper fox I'm a dirty dog with dirty locks, Bird in a cage ain't no fluff just rage I break through and fly away. Bring it on home no place to belong Smoke this man like Cheech and Chong. Where do you go when its not enough to know and all your thoughts like the wind just blow!? ___ I don't know why you want it to be this way I know why I'm going to this way. I'm a man on a rock and I got big socks you know what they say. Some are a dime a dozen But I'm a million to nothing and that's the way its going to stay. You can't please someone who's left so you might as well get this off your chest I should know because I got to go This might be the last goodbye. ___ I don't know why you want it to be this way I know why I'm going to be this way. ____

There's a blue bird in your tree the only song he sings is you and me there's a bottle and a glass by every bed and there's a feeling I won't shake out of my head. But I've been all, All through this town wouldn't cost me a dollar to burn it down and I still get up but I"m a little slow the engines running but I got nowhere to go. _____ Fall away love Fall away form me and see, I loved ya for free. _____ Did you call me just cause you're bored would you tell me what you're really here for And I'll drive all night to see If my river starts in Milwaukee. And I've been all, All through this town wouldn't cost me to burn it down and I still get up but I'm a little slow The engines running but I got nowhere to go. _____ Fall away love Fall away form me and see, I loved ya for free. _____ There's a bluebird in your tree, The only song he sings is you and me, And I've been all, All through this town Wouldn't cost me a dollar to burn it down and I still get up but I'm a little slow The engines running but I got nowhere to go The engines running but I got nowhere to go The engines running
