Never Look Back

Long long time ago
Before the wind before the snow
Lived an old and aging man
Who lost his friend
He carried by his side all the things he had in life
Left all the things that troubled him behind
And he was once in a desperate need for attention
And so much more living his life with the question of conception
There is no more, no more feeling sorry
And no more getting mad
Yeah right! You got the answer
Through the years he came to know
Sometimes its better to let it go
And never look back no matter what they said
And then the ones he learned to ignore
The ones who always asked for more
Secretly respect the life that he led
And he was once in a desperate need for attention
And so much more living his life with the question of conception
There is no more, no more feeling sorry
And no more getting mad
Yeah right! You got the answer

My Wall

A middle class mom crouches on the hill
Eyes behind binoculars, she sits so still
Spots a boy going under the freeway
Whispers in her radio, going for the kill
Open your eyes! You're fighting kids
Who only want to make their mark
Everything else you took away
You left them in the dark
Open your eyes!
Your way is not about beauty
Its about rights and choice
Speech isn't free
It is only for those who can afford
To raise their voice
Say it is pollution
They say it is a sin
Mobilize their force to stop the demon within
They say it is not a battle
It is a full scale war
Recruiting volunteers
Like never before
Say it is so ugly
They say it is an eyesore
But remember
They're the ones who build department stores
Puts ads on the benches
Signs on the windows
Asphalt where the grass used to grow

Old Man

You tell me of a place
Where everybody knew their neighbours
All the families helped each other
And no one ever locked their doors
You told me no one locked their doors
Old man please stay a while
I know at first i seemed too busy
But now i'll make the time
Stay and tell me one more story
Tell me about the time
You ditched school to go fishing
You thought the branch would hold
Your neighbour pulled you from the river
He helped you wash your clothes
And stich the hole in your trousers
And your mum never knew why
He giggled when he saw you
Old man please stay a while
I know at first i seemed too busy
But now i'll make the time
Stay and tell me one more story
A place where no one locks their doors
A place where no one locks their doors
You tell me that you show me
Only now it is too late
I like to built community
Only now it is too late
Things will never be the way they were before
You can't go back to how things were before
Once the trust is gone
Once the trust is gone
Once the trust is gone you lock the door
I can imagine that life
But it seems so far from real
It's just like a story
That's the kind of life i've never known
Old man you're leaving now
Taking with you things i've never known
I wonder where you're going
And if it would be like your old home
I hope you'll find the place you're looking for
I hope you'll find the place you're looking for
I hope you'll find
I hope you'll find
I hope you'll find the place you're looking for

Fade Away
03:11

Keep on playing me i'm not a toy i'm different from
Everyone else lies are what you believe in promises that
You'll never keep don't tell me stories of your pastime
Glories they've faded away with the sun faded away i'm
Flying high above the gray see it on the floor beneath my
Feet can't control what's out of my hands the river looks so
Deep and I don't want to swim in the muddy waters that you
Offer me i'm not going to waste no more of the good life
Watching you fade away hands on a watch turn like the
Wheels on a train and the days turn to weeks the months
Seem the same look at all the bullshit that surrounds me
Plastic people different countries speak different words
They're all the same life for them is just a game I want a way
Out but i'm stuck here I need an excuse to be myself again
How long will I have to wait just fading away faded away i'm
Sitting in the back because it's where I belong I don't say
Anything just try to get along on to the runway to catch
Another plane i'm going back home to be myself again

World's Best Dad

They tell you there were better days you can't remember
Through the haze this is the only life you've ever known they
Sigh and talk about fist fights when you could go to sleep at
Night without avengers tearing out your wishbone you pray
To god and wonder just who's up there what kind of father
Would leave his kids alone in a world where you're lucky if
Your mom cares hordes of people call the streets their
Home they want to take away the guns you want to get
Some bigger ones your defense is up to you and you alone
They think that they can stop the heat but they don't
Understand the street you don't want your girl crying on your
Tombstone living in that memory don't understand what they
See so they pay cops to make it yesterday you can't push
Back the hands of time you want to know and keep on
Trying do your best to stay out of there way

We've been hiding out forever waiting to release all our
Energy that's still inside it's time to get it out get it out of me
Something new I want to make this time special something
For you playing as hard as we can grind out the energy I
Want to scream again so you can hear me singing through
My hands release it let it go let it go we've found away to
Make up for the lost time turn it up and play it loud grind out
The energy

Closer To Grey

Clawing his way out of the doldrums
Getting sick and tired of coke and rums
We'll just have to wait and see
Because he's jumped on the wagin before
Only to crawl and beg for more
His pride is just another casuality
His pride is just another casuality
Can you see beyond today's euphoric state?
Do you remember how you'll feel tomorrow?
All the people that you hate
All the times you've had to wait
Every piece of food you ever ate
Reminds you of your fate
He's clawing his way out of a paper bag
Reaching for the life that he never had
And he's just one step away
He's going backwards on a two track
He's going one step forward and two steps back
Getting closer to gray
In the end there's only grieving
All his goals inside pulled thin air
Can you blame him if he's desperate?
There's nothing left for him to get
And he dosen't care that the people stare
And they do fucking stare

Final Hours
03:35

I knew the day would come maybe this would be the one
Where I would say goodbye i've tried to understand the law
Of supply and demand but it does no good to wonder why I
Wonder if my number is really up this time there were other
Times before when I thought it was over somehow I made it
This far won't be lucky forever these could be the final hours
I wish I could say I feel more than fear and bitterness i've
Given you everything I had maybe I could have gave more
All I can do is wait and see if these are my final i'm waiting
Just waiting to see are these my final hours you're so afraid
Of how you look and what they think of you don't you know
What really matters it's not you say it's what you do you
Make me laugh when you demand respect I only give
Respect when respect is due you're just a gambler
Politician chairman of the board corporate suck ass
Playing the odds gambling with lives that to you are no
More than numbers and statistics

Muffled
03:05

I thought we solved this problem long ago
I thought we grew up but we still need to grow
Somehow it rained on our common ground
Now when we dig in we sleep around
I hear the sarcasm in your voice
Think of all the times you made me wait
Without thinking, without trying
I make that face the face you used to hate
So it's been this way between you and me
Can we ever change is this how it has to be
We try to patch things up but it's not the same
We try to show respect it's too late in the game
Can you take me back to yesterday
So I can say all the things I didn't say
Maybe times were tough and maybe things were worse
But I don't remember it that way
The times the wasted times
The times the wasted times
The times the wasted times
The times the wasted times
There are times when we seem so strong
Then we forget that we don't get along
Some of these times are not in a bar
I can't believe that we made it this far
(hmmm I can't believe that we made it this far)

Broken Bubble
02:34

So you've noticed that your city's changed
The old familiar roads now seem so strange
Can you believe that there's paint on the walls
Kids are murdered in the high school halls
Wake up kid, stop your whining
Every silver cloud has a black lining
The world hasn't changed it just broke your bubble
Now you see you can't hide from trouble
You were raised in the suburbs
Mom and dad gave you the best
The referee has left the field
And you're all alone to face this test
Do you have the strength to maintain your precious values
Are you in control of your own fate
Or will you become one of those guys you used to hate
Sooner or later everyone wants the best
Your private world becomes like all the rest
Nothing is worse it's just touching you
The first time you see the world zoo
It's not a question of staying alive
You don't have to fuck over others to survive
The question is what's good enough
How much do you need to stop being tough
You were raised in the suburbs
Mom and dad gave you the best
The referee has left the field
And you're all alone to face this test
Do you have the strength to maintain your precious values
Are you in control of your own fate
Or will you become one of those guys you used to hate

You heard the warnings saw the signs do you still think we
Left you behind don't you remember how we tried another
Place another time without reason without rhyme can you
Imagine life without your pride you look up at me with those
Hurt puppy dog eyes I never meant to hurt you i'm sorry that
I had to be the one to tell you that you screwed up for the
Last time I know that there were times before when I said I
Would be there that's when I thought the choice was mine
But now i've lived and I know better promises were never
Meant to be because I couldn't see that the things you
Thought you'd change you had no will to rearrange so you
Made a liar out of me what else can I say i'm sorry it turned
Out this way do you think we'll ever be the same it'd still call
You my friend but to you it is the end I know you think that
I'm the one to blame

Think Of Tomorrow
02:22

Looking in the mirror what's left to see fragments of life all
The pieces are broken the skyways open to conquer the
Moon i'm going to get there just watch me maybe
Tomorrow i'll think of tomorrow inspiring words the dali
Lama prays for us oppressor and friend human
Understanding we can build a better world oceans of
Wisdom speak out loud we'll think of tomorrow tomorrow's
Children come out and play when I have a kid of my own
What will I teach him prepare him to be all alone because
Someday he'll be all alone I have tried all my life to find the
Answers but the only truth is what you feel inside what's
Inside when will we ever get along I sit by wondering
Environmental consciousness you heard it all before the
Present time is our future think think of tomorrow
Tomorrow's children come out and play
