I close my eyes when I sing
I glide around in a frozen ring
It's pointlessness reigns supreme
These people I know
They don't even know
You're with me everywhere I go
I fly around like a baby boy
I like me getting lost in another time
Anytime I think it
I got all that I need
At the Belmont Rink
We're
Spinning 'round in circles
I like the feelings it brings
I'm always dreaming and making things
It's uselessness speaks to me
These people I know
They don't even know
You're with me everywhere I go
I fly around like a baby boy
I like me getting lost in another time
Anytime I think it
I got all that I need
At the Belmont Rink

Stare Into The Sun
02:33
|
|||
|
Like a wind that blows through the trees
Invisible things have their way with me
Just like a leaf that can't hold on
I slowly come undone
Like a winter freezes a stream
something I can't see it is changing me
While underneath this icy sheet
I stay as I once was
This is a war that never will be won
Till I let go and stare into the sun
Like a whisper wishing you well
I can't be touched but I am deeply felt
If you let me into your heart
You'll know that I am love
Like a bell that starts where it ends
It isn't there but it has always been
It fades away
Forever stays
I am the night and day
This is a war that never will be won
Till I let go and stare into the sun
The sun

Butter My Bread
03:02
|

|
We found a sacred between your head and heart
We took you to it but it's tearing you apart
And everyone they fall to the floor
Too tired to scream I can't take this no more
They'll burn our love to keep them warm
That said
All I've ever said is that we don't need them to butter our bread
That's all
All you need to know is all we know is only what we've been shown
We found a sacred place but it was shrugged right off
Its getting harder so much harder to be soft
We found a sacred place but it was overthrown
You chose as side to find there were no sides at all
And everyone they fall to the floor
Too tired to scream I can't take this no more
They'll burn our love to keep them warm
That said
All I've ever said is that we don't need them to butter our bread
That's all
All you need to know is all we know is only what we've been shown

Joyrides On The Bus
02:24
|

|
I only see one of the two for you
Clusters that dangle in a deep red hue
Still in bloom and slowly ripped away from it's roots
Shadows that halo this substantial fruit
He makes his way to us by taking joyrides on the bus
He makes his way to us by taking joyrides on the bus
Another cup is just too much
Before too long you have to say enough is enough
I only see one of the two for you
That blushing beige that you have slipped into
You make it true
The pressure you apply with your tooth
Those lips can never hide your truth for you
He makes his way to us by taking joyrides on the bus
He makes his way to us by taking joyrides on the bus
Another cup is just too much
Before too long you have to say enough is enough

Opposition
04:33
|
|||
|
Cry-laughing endlessly at where you think you'll be
At where you think you'll be
Foot loose and fancy free
On the right side of history
Split them all in half
Then split those halves in half
They don't stand chance
In fact they'll aid us in the task
Tear themselves apart with nonsense, drugs and art
Believing they're the cure as they help us close the door
The way to control the opposition is to lead it
The people who touch your heart are mostly double-agents
The way to control the opposition is to lead it
Swallow your pride realize you had fallen for it
You had fallen for it
Funding both the sides
No need for us to hide
Everything's aligned
Just watch them welcome their demise
Bodies filled with dope
What's real no one will know
Their hearts and heads we own
It's going where we say it goes
The way to control the opposition is to lead it
The people who touch your heart are mostly double-agents
The way to control the opposition is to lead it
Swallow your pride realize you had fallen for it
You had fallen for it
You had fallen for it
Fallen for it

Your heroes have fallen
From where you had raised them
As soon as you met them
They proved themselves graceless
They jumped off the pages
As if they weren't human
You couldn't remove them
You mythologized them
But the spell has been broken
The spell has been broken
It's just time you're taking away
As you spend it hating yourself
The lies of all of the liars you find
In attempts to be someone else
I wanna live in a Joseph Campbell bliss like we've never felt
But you call yourself stupid
A failure a loser
All hopeless and worthless and backed by excuses
Pathetic and useless
Deserve to be doomed
How could you possibly fit in these shoes?
The spell has been broken
It's just time you're taking away
As you spend it hating yourself
The lies of all of the liars you find
In attempts to be someone else
I wanna live in a Joseph Campbell bliss like we've never felt

Stand Up For Yourself
03:40
|
|||
|
They scream in pain as they're striking you
No explanation will ever do
Push you away as they're embracing you
They love you so much
They're hating you
If they all walk one way
I run the other way
No matter what they say
They'll call you names
Like heartless you're so mean
When you stand
Stand up for yourself
You'll hear them say you're lacking empathy
When you stand
Stand up for yourself
In moments when you find you low
To them you should not ever go
Don't go
I go to sleep just like a little baby now
Forget the fallings from filthy mouths
And when I wake they work to bring me back down
As I stay floating above the ground
If they all walk one way
I run the other way
If they all walk one way
I run the other way
Every single day
They'll call you names
Like heartless you're so mean
When you stand
Stand up for yourself
You'll hear them say you're lacking empathy
When you stand
Stand up for yourself
Just Stand up for yourself

Baby Blue
04:24

Watch me as I'm fading
From me into you
Just try not to hate me and it will all come true
Grown up but still playing
Every time is still new
Wherever this takes me I'll share it with all of you
That's you
A little fool who's been fooled
I owe it all to you
That's you
Little clown they refused
Self-portrait I paint of you
In baby Blue
Baby Blue
I know I'm not crazy
But what can I do
Just help me to bear me When I get down on you
The gift that you gave me
I give back to you
Full-circle returning of what we found is true
That's you
A little fool who's been fooled
I owe it all to you
That's you
Little clown they refused
Self-portrait I paint of you
In baby Blue
Baby blue
