1. STRAY INTO YESTERDAY

Heaven knows, where the time goes
No one knows, no one knows
Now that little boy is fully grown
And you know it shows, you know it shows
From the paths you choose and the chances blown
But I hope you know, I hope you know
That it gets a little better if your will is strong
But were yet to know, were yet to know

Don't waste your time on those preoccupations
This isn't time for those minor altercations
Some day you might grow
Or stumble right into your own

Until we all learn that we all must wait our turn

Wisdom bred on futon bed
In the afterglow, in the afterglow
There's little gained and there's little said
So the story goes, the story goes
Just some empty cans and an aching head
And a simple prose, a simple prose
Form the soft machine lying there unread
But were yet to know, were yet to know

Don't waste your time on those preoccupations
This isn't time for those minor altercations
Some day you might grow
Or stumble right into your own

Until we all learn that we all must wait our turn


2. SPARK ELIMINATOR

Get a grip and read the signs
Autonomy's not yours to define
Paranoia to postulate
All illusions you propagate
All that left is in your mind

Arrogance, an arid trait
Confidence you long to confiscate
No 21 guns to salute you
Prevailing heads will refute you
All that's left is in your mind

Foundations crumble as you reach out to be saved
Salvation flubbed, all illusions have con-caved
Forever humbled as a new path has been paved
All the while lamenting, choices you have made

Shadow plays you'd hope to hide
The endless boasts and unearned pride
Always a silver spoon to feed you
Unencumbered lens you gaze through
All that's left is in mind

Foundations crumble as you reach out to be saved
Salvation flubbed, all illusions have con-caved
Forever humbled as a new path has been paved
All the while lamenting, choices you have made
