| Let It Burn
This syringe in my hand
bleeds out this great plan
Of how society feels they deceive me
But like grains of sand in the palm of my hand
The possibilities are overwhelming
So just take one, no take two, what the hell take few
'Cuz Im sure that no one is counting
In the end, you will send, word throughout this great land
And it will keep on resounding
You've thrown your inhibitions into the wind
A fire is blazing beneath your skin
Let it burn, let it burn
At the last failing light
Let it burn throughout the night
The tick tock of the clock is something
I cant ignore
The mercury is rising
And it's more than I can endure
As the sweat trickles down to the base of my crown
And the heroes find it overwhelming
I'll jump in grab a friend and start to begin
A tale that will be worth telling
I could sing any song to you
My brown-eyed girl sha-la-la-ti-da-ti-do
But how unoriginal do you take me for
These few minutes girl, they are yours
Two years gone by we had a good time
Driving round GC in my 95
The fun that we had
Two more years and I'd be glad
| You and Me
Its a lovely story about me and you
Joined by fate through an unexpected two
After that night, the rest is history
The story of you and me
I look you in the eyes and your browns meet my blues
Its an age of tyranny but who cares cuz I got you
Fire and brimstone cant tear us apart
Cuz my love for you is just the start
Were good friends, the best I could say
We can last even miles away
Two years gone by, whats there left to do
We'll just have to wait it out, let it roll, play it cool
And so continues the story of me a you
| Toe Jam
Is there anyone out there
Anyone who can see in?
On the disparity
Of this situation
If we live in a future with a past that we regret
Then what is the present are we even living yet?
Are we even living yet?
Dont wait for tomorrow
'Cuz soon it will be gone
Make what you can of this
'Cuz the writing's on the wall
You dont know what you need
You just know that you need something
Just a bit of hope or a possibility of
Escaping the past, while forgetting all the future
Well then girl, Im all that you need
Dont ask me no more questions
Dont tell me no more lies
Its sickening whats happening
When I look into your eyes
I see a beauty like none
I have known before
Yet at exactly at the same time
You're a person I dont know
I'm in the middle of the ocean
I'm drowning in the sea
I keep on swimming towards the shore
Hoping that youll rescue me
I keep on getting closer,
But there's so much in between
Yet I'll keep swimming forever more
Until you rescue me
| Rescue Me
The moon shines off the water
Like the light shines of your eyes
And the waving of the water sounds like gentle lullabies
Yet it cant deceive me from what
I am searching for
I can only hope that one day
I will meet you by the shore
I'm spinning around in circles
I'm so dizzy I cant see
A stitch in time may save nine
But who the hell is gonna save me
The world Im seeing isnt real
Its just a blurry scene to me
I'm losing control of what I want
And I need to just break free
Blinding light and shattered dreams
I hear a deafening sound
A cloudy haze has covered me
I'm lost and cant be found
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
In hopes I can break free
But these shackles that are holding me down
Will not break easily
| Circles
The flood gates open up
As water flows throughout the town
Im up to my waist in god knows what
And theres no one else around
And as the waters begin to recede
I feel that help is on the way
But instead they turned their backs on us
And hoped our problems would go away
Well the world's not like TV so quit watching
Just take a glance up and see what you want to see
Oh isnt she so lovely on that silver screen
Why don't you chase her down in reality
Well I've been search for way too long
I took the road less traveled, but of course it was wrong
I turned around trying to find my way
I hoped it would lead me to her some day
| So It Goes
But she's gone, but shes gone
and so it goes
Just an arms length away I see her everyday
But she's gone
She's my hopes, she's my dreams and everything between
Just make up your mind and be who you want to be
She told me something I will never forget
She said smoke your coffee and drink your cigarettes
Who can say what's right from wrong?
When they sing the same tune to a different song
When the light that they see is from the same star above
When they act out of hate or when they act out of love
| The Places You Want To Go
I take one step forward and then two steps back
As I'm walking through life I see I'm on the wrong track
'Cuz you're headed one way and Im nowhere near
To the places you want to go
So let's rewrite the pages that have never been read
Let's dare to say something thats never been said
If you held out your hand, I'd take it in mine
And be with you baby all of the time
As I glance up at you, you glance up at me
And then I just shy away sheepishly
I'm the guy in the corner thats nowhere near
You're all that I've wanted
You're all that I need
You're what I've waited my whole life just to see
And now that youre here youre so far away
But if I can reach you I know Ill find my way
'Cuz burning in your eyes, is a light, a shine, a gleam
It's something thats telling me that you're the girl for me
It's a shining path to the promised land
To the places that I want to go
| Stargazer
Stargazers, to gather on Saturday
Reaching for the sky, so they can get away
They sit in the pits below the grassy knoll
Awaiting whatever it is they want to behold
Stargazer, watch over me.
Stargazer, wont you set me free?
You're looking at a place thats so far away
But why dont you just look down and hear what I say
Everything is ok up in the sky
But the worlds in turmoil, below your eyes.
The light that you're looking at is from so long ago
But what you should be looking at is the world below
You're life is always set in a place that is make-believe
Instead of setting your goals so high
You should set ones that you can achieve
Well I woke up this morning to the car alarm outside
It was making such a racket yet nobody seemed surprised
It's screaming out to the world, a world that's been defeated
Disrupting all the silence, yet no one cares to hear it
But we'll, yes we'll
We'll be fine
Too many times I have read that line
Says the end is coming, that we have no more time
Well if this is the end, then the end is oh so kind
'Cuz a new beginning is beginning in the back of my mind
I can't find the words to spill on these pages
The glass is so full its been filling for ages
And just when it reaches up to the brim
It all gets poured out just to be filled again
Like walking in circles no beginning no end
Who knows how long it will take
To finally reach the end
Whether it's far in the distance or straight up ahead
Nobody knows so don't even go to the end
Nobody knows
It's like reading a book for the hundredth time
Without reading you're reciting every single line
Well we've all heard that story time and time again
So dont bother finishing, lets make our own end
