Track Lyrics

A Flight and a Crash Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here's one of time passed
Of a flight and a crash
Over and again
In Boulder and San Francisco
A halfway house back home
Back out of his head
[Chorus 1]
Out searching for the escape
For an answer or a reason
That his poison has deleted
Anything worth all that's wasted now
[Chorus 2]
Finds no difference where he's standing
'Cause he's standing with a shotgun and a needle
Arms reaching and head pounding from the screaming
[Bridge]
Says: “I don't know what I am doing anymore
I raced all night again, and I just want it over."
[Outro]
Heart racing
Head pounding from the screaming
Heart racing now

Jack of All Trades Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Give me a reason not to lash out
Because I don't see much reason now
I want to banish frauds, slay unruly sods
Since false idol gods have nothing figured out
Nothing at all
[Chorus]
(Hey)
So you've got a tale to tell
(Hey)
Well how about something real?
[Verse 2]
Feel free and stifle someone
Go on and belittle someone as well
Or but fucker yeah you'll get yours
(Or but fucker you'll get yours)
So fill up your pockets and watch them swell
[Chorus 2]
(Hey)
You could be no one
(Hey)
An inconsiderate bastard son
(Hey)
Kiss your smile goodbye
(Hey)
Kiss it all goodbye
(Hey)
Goodbye, goodbye
(Hey)
Goodbye, goodbye
(Hey)
Goodbye, goodbye

Paper Thin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Send me off and give me
Magazine copies of open spaces
And open ends, distant, diverted from the medicine
And our own ends that we're seeing
[Chorus]
White, white walls and hospitals
All of us feel trivial
And relative, tentative and waiting
For all those white, white walls and hospitals
All of us feel trivial
And paper thin, tentative and waiting
[Verse 2]
For just another day of no answers
And no promises in the night time
But in the meantime, fucking hospitals and medicine
Stand towering and cold and pallid
[Chorus]
White, white walls and hospitals
All of us feel trivial
And relative, tentative and waiting
For all those white, white walls and hospitals
All of us feel trivial
And paper thin, tentative and waiting
Paper thin, tentative and waiting
[Outro]
Send me out there to the tower now
Hospitals and their medicine

A Clear Line Lyrics

[Chorus]
Do you know what you're fighting for?
Have you the burn of the aching for
Something different, something spiritually
Understood in every way
[Verse 1]
Hard face, no shine
Hard heart with a narrow mind
Blank and shallow, lacking color
Lacking faith that there is another
Way to live, way to breathe
A way to walk, a way to see
Not in alliance, but in defiance
Of the hatred we're taught to breed
[Pre-Chorus]
I see a clear line drawn
A generation that's gone wrong
[Chorus]
Have you found what you're looking for?
Have you the burn or the lack thereof
For something different, something you're meant to be?
Do you know what you're looking for?
[Pre-Chorus]
I see a clear line drawn
A generation that's gone wrong
I see a back that's turned
To what we're searching for
[Bridge]
What you're taught and what we're beckoned to
Is not absolute, so why follow what we don't know?
You are your own, weighted and balancing
Judgement of truth when the ego has been let go

Choked and Separated Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sick of standing with my hands in my pockets
I'm coming in
Been broke down, choked out, not speaking
Not breathing in
Are we gonna fix it?
When are we gonna start?
Start
[Chorus]
If it's really too late, I guess I've been looking back
If it's really just time, you can have all of it
If that's where we think straight
I'll do anything to keep us from feeling choked and separated
[Bridge]
'Cause it's all the same things again and again
Fall down, repeat, fall down, keep falling down
[Outro]
Is this what we're doing?
What are we doing?
Is this what we're doing?
What are we doing?
Is this what we're doing?
This what we're doing
What are we doing
Is this what we're doing?
This what we're doing
What are we doing
Is this what we're doing?
This what we're doing
What are we doing
Is this what we're doing?
This what we're doing
What are we doing
Is this what we're doing?
This what we're doing
What are we doing
Is this what we're doing?
This what we're doing
What are we doing

Old Rules Lyrics

[Verse 1]
5:30 rings
Pots over gas flames
Still in a haze
Not walking dead
But alive and I'm fed
Still hungry for more
[Chorus]
'Cause before I wake again and again and again
Again and again and again
I toss and I turn again and again and again
Again and again and again
[Verse 2]
With something calling me, maybe a conscience
Maybe that dream of something more
Well beyond the folklore that failed to be
[Bridge]
Something real solid or still
Something real solid or still
To ground me with instinct
To feel before I think and think before I know
To know, know before I act, act before I grow
In control, with fear I'll hold
Cutting me loose from old rules

Sunday Suit Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shun me, I've done you wrong
Mocked you and broke your home
Carried on as a king to a throne
I know, I loathed
[Verse 2]
Yet I've reconciled my faith
With no way to explain where it comes from
Heard out suspicious ways, and forwent the drought of pain
Oh, and I've had mine
[Chorus]
Sunday suit never fit quite right
Maybe why I never saw your light
Fear had its grip for quite sometime
So I obeyed and lied
[Verse 3]
Listen don't hear this wrong
You've taught me what I know
And though I'm not what you want
I've found peace on my own
[Chorus 2]
Sunday suit never fit quite right
Maybe why I left Siddhartha style
I choose a path of open minds
Am I damned for it?
I know the evil of mankind
And I keep far from them
Do all I can to grow inside
Judge me for that

In the Gray Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm suspended now
Hanging in the gray of a weather beaten town
December rolls around
Lays a blanket of herself on the ground
Where comfort lives in sound
Like a gun laying cold on the ground
No way to spell it out
Still much to say of a gun left down
[Chorus]
Most of me is elsewhere wondering
Shall we hear a song?
Shall we live one, soaked to the bone?
I'm suspended now
Hanging in the gray of a weather heavy cloud
Soften my face and bow
Bid my farewells to the ground for now
[Bridge]
Part of me is sinking, pondering
Hope is a gracious term, aligned with the faith that reason
Has a course to take, may it be the just one?
Until then, I will drown
Go down without a fit
How glorious is it?
Bound in sound
Even and weightless
And free from wrist to wrist
I will drown
Go down without a fit
How glorious is it?
Bound in sound
Even and weightless
And free from wrist to wrist

Call It Trashing Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Something react with a shake and a bang to resurrect
A deadbeat rhythm of a slant and a pose
Of chivalry that's far front its best
So over-rated, so bits and pieces, exhilarating, and so deceiving
[Chorus]
Wait, it's all sounding the same
[Verse 2]
So over-rated, so bits and pieces, accelerated, accelerated
Mark it up with the made up, make it up on the side
Drag through shoulders to the wheel of alluring and baited lies
[Chorus]
Wait, it's all sounding the same
Wait, rehashed beats and breakdowns
Surrounded
Take the diversity away
Make it all feel stale and vacant
Call it trashing
Wait, it's all sounding the same
It's all charades and shadows
Call it trashing
It's all sounding the same
It's all charades and shadows
