Figured out a way to get around more practically a way to get from point A to point B in a breeze Now it's all downhill but I lost my bearings so quickly and my feet came out from under me I guess I'm sorry Born yesterday I thought I had it all worked out but I lost the plot forgot about the point Now it sounds all wrong it's always better in your memory or near the end of interrupted dreams

Stay Cool 01:17
Making friends with a faster crowd and the illusions and impressions are new Meet again a week later and see their blank smiles cuz they don't have a clue and they introduce themselves to you Still waiting on someone to come through and your faith in others was misplaced No matter who's around they'll always let you down and that half-full glass was just a phase It's the same as it ever was I haven't seen any difference so far Kids are playin' dress up like they're so unique and my eyes are sore from rollin' so hard It's a parade of haircuts and scars Still waiting on someone to come through and your faith in others was a mistake No matter who's around they'll always let you down and that half-full glass was just a phase

Tetherball 02:35
Flash! bright white the ceiling's a wall brain cracks hard a firecracker in a jar and I know I know but I don't know all the things that I forgot Let's stay in bed and pretend we're dead Everything's fine living on borrowed time And we're tempting fate while we wait and wait But I don't mind if you don't mind My faulty architecture's swayin' back and forth I didn't know this was a contact sport I'm just a tetherball on withering rope tied to an abstract pole buried in an infinite hol

Clench my teeth and bite my tongue and yeah it hurts like hell Is it irony or running away? Spending so long trying to be something you're not A new name for a new day And every word of those tattoos I never got they said "This is what I believe" and everyone's a cop and a criminal chasin' tails How much fun can this really be? Everybody's wrong all the time The best drivers are liars The best writers are thieves
5.
Needs 03:09
Got a list of things you want bored with what you got empty pockets givin' ya fits And they work you like a dog at your endless job and whaddya have to show for it? It looks so good yeah and I need it bad Makes me feel like I could die and I don't know why So baby come on... Well you heard the things they said but it's all in your head and what'd they ever do for you? Their gardens are full of weeds they're trying to tear down your needs ya gotta stick to what is true It looks so good yeah and I need it bad Makes me feel like I could die and I don't know why When it all goes wrong I feel all right So baby c'mon!

Dinosaurs 03:17
A long time ago things were different The world was flat, science was black magic, and dinosaurs ruled the earth... They had a hunt for the heretics to burn them at the stake the dinosaurs gathered up their books and their literature and their Elvis records and they used them to stoke the flames and the embers burned white hot Yeah we had it much better back then They gathered up the freaks and the weirdos and they fed 'em to the dinosaurs They shot The Emperor down Something sad I saw on TV And their jaws were open wide with the darkness in their eyes never needing to attack waiting on their own time and the people couldn't tell they'd fallen under their spell so they walked into the mouths and said "I guess it's just as well

Did you ever feel like you were a half-thought up idea? Like a problem with no answer or at least not one that's clear? You try and try to make a little sense of anything but you're better off knowing your part in the machine Riding on your way to work and it's such a drag Waiting in a line a waste of time you zig and zag It's a system of broken parts and abandoned projects brushed aside you wait to die with all that they forget There's such a thing as too much of a good thing Baby I think you know there's places I would rather go alone but that's not fair and it just goes to show It's not that I don't care, oh I don't know... Did you take a ride and never look back? Did you laugh when they told ya you were on the wrong track? Well they never knew ya and they never cared a thing about your own beliefs and ways of living

Editor 03:14
I could use an editor I always miss the mark Driving my point home way too hard Anything to get a little closer to a clue to figure out how to talk to you And I have a habit of taking things too far It's not that easy and it don't improve with age to say what you need to say I never learned to try to leave 'em wanting more that always seemed like such a bore And there's a price to pay for every extra word There's better company to try to cure your blues "The weather's fine, what's in the news?" And I have a habit of taking things too hard

Lawnmower 02:39
Covered tracks back home You took up with the unknown Bare walls in a rented space a different place to spend different days Resist or run away Try to have it both ways A million reasons to justify the answer's already in your mind Yeah you know, yeah you know the way you're gonna go Yeah you know, yeah you know how it's gonna go I was born in my bedroom happy with nothing to do and I grew up in the TV light living fabricated lives Make my plans in a treehouse with my head up in the clouds and every night die on the couch and fade out There's a hand in everything and you can feel it pull the strings You can hate it all you want but it still goes on and on
11.
Mass approval a game of frauds an empty promise til the next one comes along Good impressions games we'll never play clean it up now before you drive 'em all away We won't sing along Those old lines are full of flaws and ours was a crimeless bond been forgotten for too long We don't know that song those modern laughs became a yawn lost in a crowded mall between the past and present law Business kids sellin' cool an army of style but righteous are the few Sell your idols buy what you wanna be a new constitution but the same old history
12.
Let's raise a toast to forgotten ghosts of a haunted history Fell asleep in the graveyard gave up my desire I'm dreaming of fire and you I didn't know and you didn't know the way the tide was gonna go A malady you and me but that's the way the story goes
