String Theory²
03:46
|
|||
Drifting thru the void of an ordinary life
I got too much on my plate and too small a knife
I'll cut corners if it gets me somewhere
One thing I won't cut is this overgrown hair
I'll let it rot from my skull in the grave
I tried to save someone, there was noone to save
This string is reaching from you to me
Invisible connections that we can't see
String Theory.....is here
String Theory.....is in the air
String Theory.....it's coming soon
String Theory.....is in this room
Time is relative, that's what Einstein said
He signed off on the bomb, now he's gone, now he's dead
He couldn't take all that uncertainty
And his spooky action's a little too weird for me
Many worlds, many lifes we can live
And all of them possible, but all of them hid
That's just a theory I choose to believe
I'd prove it to ya but I gotta leave
String Theory.....is here
String Theory.....is in my hair
String Theory.....it's hard to prove
String Theory.....is in this room

Hardwood Floors
03:56
|

She's lying on those hardwood floors
And while she sleeps, I dream of more
She won't listen, she won' come in
She won't come out, it's going down
And I forget how I should feel
And I don't know just what is real
When I see you, I don't know how I should feel anymore
I can't take this heartbreak
This heartbreak is going away
I look at you across this room
Your eyes entomb and look right thru
The subtle things I try and say
Will have to wait another day
And I forget what I should do
I am so scared of losing you
When I see you, I pretend
And dream of being more than friends
I can't take dreams that don't come true
Or any ones involving you
She's making conversation now
With every word, I wonder how
I can find a way to make her see
These things that make me so unique
And I forget what I was going to say
Probably something useless anyway
When I see you, I wan't to share
And find a new way to make you care
I guess I'm asking for a lot
But what do you expect when I ain't got nothin'
Nothing

Ninja Stars
04:20
|
|||
There's ninja stars on these floors
And a stale taste in the room
And what you thought was real was just a shadow
A reflection you consumed
But these eyes are opened
Those eyes are closed
This sky is hoping that river still flows
Are you aware or just not there
Drowning as this night spins away
The looks I got felt like hollow shots
And there was nothing more I could say
But these eyes are opened
Those eyes are closed
This sky is hoping that river still flows
Melt into me, make me feel like living
This formula ain't working anymore
What I've seen is faded, it is gone and is out-dated
But I can't take another walk to that shore
'Cause these eyes are opened
Those eyes are closed
This sky is hoping that river still flows
Yeah, these eyes are opened
Those eyes are closed
This sky is hoping, hoping that river still flows

Back Here
02:02
|
|||
I think about how I can change
About how I'll re-arrange things
I'll think it all out
Make a good move
Stay with the crowd, leave when I lose
I could go round and round
But I'll always end up back here
Science tells us that there is more
To life than what's at the corner store, so
I'll be the first man
To live on Mars
Where the cars will be the shooting stars
Even if I disappeared
I'd still end up back here

It was night
I was lying on the ground
It was cold, wet with dew
I looked up at the sky
I saw the stars
And their light saw me too
Then she came to me, wearing nothing
And lied her body on top of mine
Obstructing my view of the sky
Her skin was cold and wet on mine
And soaked into my clothes
And she soaked into my soul
And we were intertwined
For a time
I looked into her eyes
Then looked up at the sky
I saw the constellation on her cheek
And its real-life counterpart, looming above
We held each other tight
And loved
Then I awoke

My M.I.N.D.
04:47
|
|||
The way my mind works, it ain't like yours
I dwell on things too much
Before I walk through an open door
I'd check to make sure it's shut
The way I'm seeing the world today
It's cold and warm and new
And I'd walk these strees in this winter deep
To find my way to you
Where I'd wax & wane on this timeless pain
That life seems to put me through
Would you listen or would you complain
Or would you think I'm a fool?
Your brain works in mysterious ways
All this pain & hurt will be back again in spades
You can't see what I'm trying to say to you
So I'll hide it in these words
Do you want a clue?
The way I feel when I wake up
Doesn't last for too long
Those Delta Waves I can't get enough of
Are always too soon gone
The things I see inside my head
There is dark and there is light
Broken images from a lonely bed
Keeping me up thru the night
Your brain works in mysterious ways
All this pain & hurt will be back again in spades
You can't see what I'm trying to say to you
So I'll hide it in these words
Do you want a clue?

Bloodsucking Fucks
02:52
|
|||
They're coming in from everywhere
They're getting all into my hair
They're coming in from everywhere
Getting all into my hair
Bloodsucking fucks, won't you go away
I didn't want to see you today
Bloodsucking fucks, can't you take a hint
Bloodsucking fucks, you're the bane of my existance
Bloodsucking fucks, I've known ya too long
Bloodsucking fucks, you've all gone wrong
Bloodsucking fucks, please go away
Bloodsucking fucks, there's not one thing I wanna say to you
Leave me be...leave me be
Set me free
Try and give me some space in my head
If you know what it's like to be dead
You'd understand this pain
But you wouldn't suck it up
Even though you're bloodsucking fucks
Even though you're bloodsucking fucks
Leave me be

This Is Me Giving Up
06:08
|
|||
On a porch, there's a man
Who doesn't want to understand
The way that life works, or how it hurts
There's a feeling in your mind
Makes you lose all track of time
Stay out late, get shitfaced, think about what life you can waste
INSTRUMENTAL
This is a farewell
A closing of the book
I can't read you anymore, now I can't even look
This is an epiphany, albeit a little fucked
But this is real, this is you
And this is me giving up
INSTRUMENTAL
On a hill, there's a tree
Overlooking you and me
These buds will blood, even in this gloom
There's a change in the air
Making me not want to care
I think I'll listen to it, before I lose it
INSTRUMENTAL
This is a farewell
A closing of the book
I can't read you anymore, now I can't even look
This is an epiphany, albeit a little fucked
But this is real, this is you
And this is me giving up
INSTRUMENTAL
On a sky, there's a cloud
Makes you wanna scream out loud
I wish that you could see, but that's the diffrence 'tween you and me
There's and ending for all things
And a crown for all Kings
Not the one I wanna wear, but like I said, 'I don't care'
INSTRUMENTAL
This is a farewell
A closing of the book
I can't read you anymore, now I can't even look
This is an epiphany, albeit a little fucked
But this is real, this is you
This is me giving up
Giving up
Giving up
