1. PRODIGY

I just feel like thinking today
I don't want to talk too much
It's hard to explain
Sometimes I am a machine
Sometimes I am a man
Sometimes I'm just a little wave
Of a big chaotic plan
Time for the self, time for the strength
All sense aside, what is belief
Time for the self, time for the strength
It won't decay, it's a prodigy
Sometimes I'm a machine
Sometimes I am a man
Sometimes I know just who I am
Sometimes I control,
Sometimes I'm in shreds
Sometimes I know
But I'm wrong again


2. ABOUT TO BLEAK

Full of emotions I've never had...
I don't feel angry, I just don't feel at all
I could manipulate
I could twist, I could trick
You let me get away with it
All these experiences I've had
Do they only exist in my mind?
Do they reveal? Do they conceal?
There's no time left to heal
It seems we're near the end
Can I see you again? I am afraid
We're so near the end
I've learned so much from you
It doesn't matter who's right or wrong
There's no difference between give and take
I saw the world about to explode
And I, myself, was about to break


3. VISION

No one told us, we were too young
To defend ourselves
Spoon fed with visions
In several years, create belief
Create some hope, create the fear
That we might not succeed
We might not fit in, we think we're free
We're just the visions and the voices
That made us who we are
Our future held in fractured hands
A fairy tale of failing plans
Meaning to see, can't see a meaning
Trip the gears in search of feelings
I can't show you the world
But I can show you mine


4. REGRETS

I am so young, I am so wild
I'll fight today
Tomorrow's just a step away
I'll raise my voice
I'll scream at the sky
We all need freed, we all need to die
Don't throw it away
When you look back
What do you want to see?
Blindfolded and on your knees
In a search for some identity
You can't give up so easily
Don't ever give up, fuck the machine


5. THE SILENCE

You said everything is O.K.
Yet everything has me so afraid
Living is a bent memory
Fading in time increasingly
As we drink and drive and die
And kiss and cry, and dance and play
And rust away
Tears stay on the inside - alone
Millions so alone
Tears stay, on the inside - alone
Tears can't be heard anymore


6. OPEN UP

(We flow out into the world
Trying to understand
The beautiful midnight sky
Reflected in your eyes
I've seen evertything - all of you
My senses numbed but I want you more
Evil innocence, kiss me once before
I leave this ugly world
Face to face, we play and pretend
Nothing is there, make me scared)
And you smile, and you look at me
Like you've never seen me before
And you watch me fall
I turn my thoughts to you
I sink and I twitch
I have tried to open up
Why do we act like this?


7. DAYS OF BREAD AND CIRCUS

We're moving so fast
I don't wanna stop
I was always going to change the world
I've always cared a lot
I used to think, but now I don't
I used to feel, but now I won't
There's so much shit
Coming straight for me
I'll let it hit, if it has a need
Tomorrow, again, a new best friend
Tomorrow, again, will take me away
I can't ponder thoughts
I just wanna breathe
I just wanna drift off
Now's not the time for analysis
I just wanna sit back, I just wanna exist
...And it will happen again and again
Today is no different than the days of...
There will come a day when we lose faith
In our cars, our televisions, and ourselves


8. THE CURBS

I need my head to shake or nod
My voice to whisper with
I need to hurt, I need a god
My hands to make a fist
I was hoping that you'd come to save me
I was told that you once cared
I never want to find the answers
I never want to have to share
I want it all, I need it all
I'm part of it all, I hate it all
It doesn't have to be like this
It doesn't have to be this way
Against the gods


9. REMNANT

I looked at you, but you turned away
I have to put up with you
And you have to put up with me
I feel so wired, but I'll be o.k., for now
'Cause you
Made me forget who I was today
And I still blame myself, 'cause you
I still feel you all over me
I'm someone else
You have this thing, you have control
I'm slipping further, so far I've never known


10. THE STRONGER

Here, have some sex; here, have a drink
We're so alive, we're so distinct
I've lost some friends, I've lost some hope
We've lost ourselves, but still we cope
We've lost our faith in society
Nothing is what it seems
But through all this, and still we live
The pillars will hold until the stronger give
Are we above? Are we conscious, yet?
We cannot love what we can't affect
Fall from the sky into the sea
Stand at the bottom and grow with me
I'm getting stronger, I'm still alive


11. DESERT WIND

Trapped within these walls
This thick layered prison called the skin
I never asked to be this man
But maybe I did
Maybe I missed my only chance to be...
It seems I'll never know
Just what I could have been
But who cares? And maybe I choose
To not even try, I'm born to lose
My thoughts go floating in the air
My feet won't take me anywhere
I think I lost my head somewhere
Along the way
Maybe the wind could make me spin
Maybe it's time to start all over again
