Take It Personally

Sun shines on the ocean bed
Illuminating this picture set
A little taste of paradise
Will bring me back this time
Still don't know what I was waiting for
But how much time can you and me afford?
In the ear splitting quiet
The whistle pitch silence
till the sun shines through the blinds
Concentrate on your breathing
A gentle crashing of waves
Don't take it personally when I say fix yourself
Fix yourself
It's inevitable, you'll waste yourself
But if you're ready to blow then haste yourself
Don't take it to heart, his patience melts
Don't feel like facing your enemy or choosing sides
Or stand in line or live your life
Lets get this fucking party started
Sun shines on the ocean bed
Illuminating this picture set
A little taste of paradise
Will bring me back this time
Concentrate on your breathing
A gentle crashing of waves
Don't take it personally when I say fix yourself
Fix yourself
"Ain't it always funny when it's never even sunny but ya put on a smile coz it's easier to fake it"
So fix yourself
Or waste yourself
I'd take it personally if I were you
My friend
Crashing of Waves
I don't need to care about who you think I am

Racing Days Are Done

Once more it's in the waiting
No way to suffer life
You're begging to twist and turn in the halls of which we stand
Making up the differences has never been my deal
Waking up with different hangs you never know whats real
Drink all the oceans, inhale the sky
If you've head enough of life then maybe you should die
Goodbye, your world dies this time
Learn your words. Time, it flies
You're weighing up the endless toll, unforgiving
Instead of paying attention to the faces passing by
I watched their feet and all these types reduced to steps
Face away
Games to play
Your racing days are done
Making up the differences has never been my deal
Waking up with different hangs you never know whats real
And it was clear to me that the mission was to graze
In the dust in the search for a fucking mystery
Stripped of anything serious
Devoid of meaning
citizens of the world, Grab your pens
Write this down in triplicates
Goodbye, your world dies this time
Learn your words. Time, it flies

I've been coming out of cover
Creeping my head round the corner to get a better view
Stretch off my bed of thorns
Smoking too much I think so much that I can barely see
Let me get a better look at you
Stand up straight don't you know who you're talking to!?
It's elementary boy
But I don't mind i'll take the time
Just to spell it all out for you
I know it's worse when we feel the same
Do you think she hurts when she calls my name?
Don't mind me i'm only here just to see what makes you Tick, Tick, Tick Tick
If hiding and disguising will simply do the Trick, Trick, Trick, Trick
Come out your shell. Don't ask don't tell.
It's an acquittal that is visceral it seems to me.
Unaccountable, it's laughable
Pick a pressure point and don't let up until its through
So delectable and very social
Not a single bad word to say about him
But how can you be sure what they say
Is based in truth and not in fantasy?
I know it's worse when we feel the same
Do you think she hurts when she calls my name?
Its based in truth and not in fantasy
Don't mind me i'm only here just to see what makes you Tick, Tick, Tick Tick
If hiding and disguising will simply do the Trick, Trick, Trick, Trick
Come out your shell. Don't ask don't tell.
It's an acquittal that is visceral it seems to me.

Baby don't blame the weather
If you ain't comin' round
I get the feeling
That we're still something now
I can't look cause this scene makes me uncomfortable
When you tell me i'm the only one
I know for certain that it's not true
Last summer you gave me chills
This year it's just yellow and green pills
Look no further if love is true
But baby won't know what she put you through
Put myself back on the shelf for someone else to find
Hang myself up on the hook with my jackets
There's only one kind of happiness
But sadness has a full range
You ain't selling product, you're providing for the people
I want to breathe the clean air through the holes in my lungs again
There's no gift like the present you didn't ask for
What made you think I would set you free?
Did you believe I'd feel the need?
So cry your tears till they run red
Get yourself out and paint the town dead
If breaking out of this empty shell
Is what you want it's hard to tell
"Get a routine, open your eyes"
Is what they say when they're all out of ideas.

No Rest

Wide awake inside a resonant existence
Breathing in the blackened ashes
Eyes are open to the damage
Count the days, Getting shorter
Rest assured there's nowhere left to run
Every dream, every soul
This can never rest until we're done
I am more than this
How can we live this way
Shackled and bound behind our eyes
Full of fear we gather
At the brink of it all

Face to face and side to side
Strolling down the mountain
Better get home on time
Isolate, incubate, Insinuate a piece of mind
Better to be faithful than un-trustful, even though the evidence suggests otherwise
Satisfaction guaranteed
Wasted, Failing, a disappointment
I am the wasted effort
I will drag you down with me
I'm the mistake that keeps on repeating
This temple is so full of flaws they'd hit the fuckin ceiling
Hold my hand step by step
Lets go down together

Lonely To See You
04:14

Four long years have come and gone again
Each year we lose a little more
Ever present in the ones you left behind
These years don't age you anymore
Well I'll wait till my pain is gone, but I cant erase the memories again
And I see my life reflected in the ways you are, but they'll never understand
I've been twisted and misshapen, Four walls closing in again
It's been so nice to see you again
But when i'm with you it doesn't feel the same
Remember the way to go
I showed you when i opened up my doors
And I'm taking all you have
Not because I want to 'cause you don't
I know now you'll never be
The one to pick me because you won't
I've been twisted and misshapen, Four walls closing in again
It's been so nice to see you again
But when i'm with you it doesn't feel the same
Well I can't release my fears
And I can't believe my ears
Well I don't want to see your tears
Especially after all these years
