Driving through life feels so confortable, Eat up all that you see. Don't let it pass you by and don't take it out on me, Cuz I'm doing fine you'll see. Your life is best on a sunday, relax the mind go and Sunbathe, I'll push myself out of comfort, complacency I'm not one for. Don't kid yourself you're not ready, now's the time but you're going steady. Normality is your new love, I'll chase the wind for a new song. For all those nights, it didn't seem much to me, Cuz I was there when you needed me. And I don't care how you feel, Cuz I know it wasn't real. I feel like I'm getting started, no time to think when I'm writing, Output's the one truth to lean on, next year I'll find where I belong. Don't stop me now cuz I'm peaking, interupt me when I'm speaking. No time but now to enact this. (Instrumental) And I don't care x3 It don't mean that much to me I don't care x 3 Oh it don't mean that much no more.

Last Moments 04:45
(Last moments mean alot, but they weren't to us.) x4 I stop to you to say goodbye, 'cause time will slip on by. What we can't see is just like sleep, 'cause life's not mine to keep. (Last moments mean alot, but they weren't to us.) x4 Aren't we but the horror story, of wasting time worrying. Another life we'd be the same, for 'Last Men' it's a game. But what would it be if time could just freeze? What good's a flower that lives to spring? (Last moments mean alot, but they weren't to us.) x4 Giving all that you got, maybe it's just what you want. Waste a day, we'll never leave. We're marching on until we bleed. 'Cause things will change and so will we, but change could be our slow recede. That we need. x3

Cosmic Blip 04:38
Cosmic Blip, well aligned and how we tripped for just the night. The river dampens the bones, I stole a book 'On the Road'. Chance spoken about fate, your voice would calm and sedate. My view custom shrunk, my fear as 'Captain of My Ship' sunk. (Instrumental) Boots in the mud, you clutched each step and me as much. You lost your shoes and it phased me more than you. And I was thinking about the past and those hours and I laughed, My view and mind changed, I can't begin to think how you amazed. I was changing, Yeah it phased me. How you amazed! x4 Dawn rose, and the sound of cars came out in droves, 'Cross the puddle we fell into just to speak to you... Her eyes went from wide to closed, Behold the beauty from Bristol. Her eyes went from wide to closed, There is no one that she beholds. I was changing, yeah it phased me. How you amazed! x4 Ride on. x4

Wo-o-eye Summer's Coming so don't be late, the bands will come up in their place. Your friends will be there, a thousand and ten. You'll never say hi to each one of them. Her smile grabs you, but so does her eyes. She looks at you, now that's a surprise. But indecision was your personal hell, and the spark flickered to someone else. Why? Wo-o-eye Tell your children that you were there and that time passed and so did your hair. Look from the crowd into the sky, wishing you could look with your aerial-eye. The hills roll on, and on, and on, and on... They never end so write a song and say "Here's the plight of devouring life. You'll understand it when you die." Why? Wo-o-eye

Wanna Be Your Lesson (8x) Oh, I can't find my way, this cannot wait. I won't slow you down, you cannot relate. You're way too good for me, I've tried nothing and I got nothing left. There's nothing left for us but this'll be something we'll never forget So don't you stop to think about what happens next, You know you're more than somebodies ex. You'll be better off as someone I know And I'll be in my room singing this song.

Moissanite 04:09
Thought it was what it's not. Precious stone, not what I'm told. What could I say? My view had changed. Sparkles like crystal, carat was nine. Was from the river and not from the mine. You sold as real with secrets concealed. But months would show the truth revealed. Momento of love, care and time. But it was a lie, a Moissanite. What could I say, my view had changed. Sparkles like crystal, carat was nine. Was from the river and not from the mine. But months had shown it was a Moissanite.

Absorb 05:32
Morning, so cold Alarm, Falling. I can feel you judging from the start. Numbness, my arm, Your teeth, my tongue. Start the day by doing something hard. I can feel the earth is moving at a pace that I can allign. I tell your eyes are closing because my vision is walking on blind. This one, different, closing, missed it. All the days apart mesh into one. I will push you To the world freefall. I can feel the earth is moving at a pace that I can allign, I can see my own reflection engulfed in a sea of my loneliness. I can feel our worlds are forming into a vision of us combined. I can tell your eyes are closing because my vision is walking on blind. I can tell the earth is moving at a pace that I can allign. Yellow-ringed eyes twirl helpless towards me, Response of me, I open my eyes.

about

Some say the opportunities you take or pass make up who you are. The friends and loves you hold and give up, and the people you build up the courage to talk to could drastically change your path. Part of growing up are these lessons that we all must face before the music. It's normal to feel ambivalent about this future, the next train will likely come.
