i've got a pocket full of reckoning
and i can't wait to share it
can you hear that day a beckoning?
oh, you will soon, i swear it
thought i would crumble and fall?
you really don't know me at all
doesn't matter how long it takes
it's coming sooner or later...
the day that we get right
twisted minds secured my omission
was it worth the crooked price of admission?
well, i'm tellin' you we're gonna get straight
and you're not gonna like it...
the day that we get right

Alienation
02:56
|
|||
before you preach to me your policy, stop and think
we are not here by ourselves
you just might rethink your beliefs if you could see
we are everybody else
...we are not alone
we expect our things, project our ways, behind demoacracy
entitled, wouldn't you say?
in our chauvinistic ways...we isolate, seperate
look what we've become: an island to the world
...we are not alone
i don't care about where they're from
what lines were drawn or the side they're on
it doesn't matter what skin they don
everyone here's an alien
i couldn't care about where your from
the flag you wave or your native son
there's no such thing as americans
everyone here's an alien
oh, colony...
set us free...
save us from dichotomy...

it'll never be what it was...
it'll always be what it was...
i lose my breath...
...release my form
i can't get back...
...what it is no more...
...i'm spinnin' out...
i catch my breath...
...regain my form
i count what's left...
...then count no more
apart from me...
...a part no more
a part of me...
...6...2...4...
...i'm thinnin' out...

Fate
03:33
|
|||
it could've been a monday instead
i could've been at home in my bed sleeping
dreaming of a life that i just missed
you could've met a man worth meeting
good enough to let you forget me
deserving of a life that i once left
our vow could've been unwritten
another love lost to the spectrum
but it wasn't...
i don't know how we came here
it must be fate

Thief

stop, thief
give it back to me
what's supposed to be
what you stole from me
return it
what you took from him
what you've slighted him
make it right again
...and give it back
then you can go to hell
enough's enough
give it back to us
what was meant for us
what you've robbed us of
give it back
then get away from here
get away from us
get away from me
get away from him
you go straight to hell

The Garden
04:18
|

there's nothin but blue skies in your eyes
won't you tend my garden, love?
so full of sunshine and surprise
and we're just getting started, love...
see the innocence drip from your face
what was left was taken and replaced
feel my stomach tremble as i quake
my garden....
you were filling holes
i was in your garden
not a soul was told
i was in your garden
i was in the garden
pulling flowers from your bed
i lay down in, uproot your inner sense
in bloom, I leave the room
with you, forever...
i was digging holes
i was in the garden
doing what was told
i was in your garden
i was in the garden
you were filling holes
reaping what you sowed
digging in your soil
i was so alone
i was in your garden

Kutting Cord
02:13

what can i do?
what can i say?
can’t bloody move
without you crowding the way
how can you live with yourself acting like this?
well you should be shamed
but you think it’s okay
still, not your fucking dog
not your dress up doll
and i’m not you…
hey, could you gimmie a break?
get the hell out my face
let me make my own way
i’m so tired and sick
of all you have to say
i’m not a pawn for you to play
you lie to keep your promises
your arrogance: a pestilence …
i sever
(what can i do?)
your tether
(what can i do?)
seems like all my choices are up to...
(kutting cord)
what makes you think my choices are up to...
(kutting cord)
how could you think my choices are up to you?!
i don’t want to be you...

Love My Crazy
04:33
|
|||
come love, give us closure
i've lost all composure
i've been pacing for days
lost in leg propulsion
intractable convulsions
you're my one saving grace
relax rigidity
and mute this symphony
that drives me mad
i'm crazy for you, love
cos you love me and my crazy
come, hush the storm in me
i'm soaked in anarchy
it's always calm when you're near
my damned insanities
you'd be right to leave
but you're still here
i'm crazy for you, love
cos you love me and my crazy
it's a funny sensation
i finally got something right
how are we still relation?
have you completely gone and lost your mind?
well, it happens to me all the time

My Iceberg
03:15
|
|||
it's easy to abandon it
but impossible to leave
i'm careful not to damage it
in my efforts to appease
and keep it's disadvantages
hidden where i...
i can show you just enough
the rest i keep below
maybe it's anatomy
or maybe just my soul
and the more that i submerge
the less i have to know
the reasons why i love myself
the reasons why i don't
i can bed it but it seldom rests
when it rests it seldom sleeps
it keeps me out in front of them
but always at their feet
and after it's been nice and fed
it leaves me on my knees
how i heed
how i feed
how i please
how i need
my iceberg

It's You
03:32
|
|||
i've been thinkin' 'bout my life lately, angie
how have i made it through?
countless times i survived my intentions
but left all else abused
yeah, there's nothing to confess
you know that i'm a mess
yet still, it's me you choose
i'm nothing more than a wreck in progress
how am i still any use?
it's you ...
it's you, and only you
short of you, it's devine intervention
but god knows, i've cut him loose
there can be only one explanation
for how i'm still any use
how could i ever need you more?
how could i've been so wrong before?
what would i ever leave you for?
you're everything that's good
