If I Be Long 03:03
If I belong to someone I would belong to no one But if I belonged to someone I would belong to you Yes it’s true If I belong to someone I would belong to no one But if I belonged to someone I would belong to you Yes it’s true Celebrate our interactions I would be the one distraction you’d Have to come home to Blemished and all understanding I wish I could be the man that you… And I’d love you too If I belong to someone I would belong to no one But if I belonged to someone I would belong to you Yes it’s true Celebrate our interactions I would be the one distraction you’d Have to come home to Blemished and all understanding I wish I could be the man that you… And I’d love you too

Was Was 03:33
Did you ever wake up wondering what you could have been Did you ever get up so down it’s like the sky crashed in Even if all it was was the thought of pain Even if all it was was the loss of a wage Get to the point Get to your job Get in the joint Leave your worries on the lawn Even if all she was was the thought of pain Even if all he was was the loss of a wage Did you ever take anyone? Could you ever take anyone? Do you take whatever you want? Give it back to everyone!

Don’t you waste your time It won’t come back anyway I’ve been feelin fine I’m melting away Even though somebody might say “Look at you. What have you done today?” I’ll look right back Show them all this You can take that and… It’s so nice thinking about something perfect Sitting right here nothing could be so worth it Even still shouldn’t we keep on wandering? Living other lives Let’s sit still Letting the current move us Don’t you waste your words They won’t come back anyway I’ve been feeling curses melting away They’re melting away Even though somebody might say “Look at you. What have you done today?” I’ll look right back Show them all this You can take that and… It’s so nice thinking about something perfect Sitting right here nothing could be so worth it Even still shouldn’t we keep on wandering? Living other lives Let’s sit still Letting the current move us

Everybody just hold your horses Like a fire Coolin off in the rain Letting off steam Like a fire Coolin off in the rain But it’s so hard to see the whole jigsaw now We’re all just part of the whole system now Sometimes it’s better when you just let go And girl you outta know That it goes on and on and on and on And boy never let it show That you know what you want is what is happening All in all in all it’s happening It takes time to calm down your excitement Like a fire Coolin off in the rain Letting off steam Like a fire Coolin off in the rain But it’s so hard to see the whole jigsaw now We’re all just part of the whole system now And girl you outta know That it goes on and on and on and on And boy never let it show That you know what you want is what is happening All in all in all it’s happening

Sound Off 02:52
Those who tremble those who fear Those who wonder why we’re here Those who don’t just disappear sound off Those who feel it Those who don’t Those who know what must be known Don’t let your words get caught in your throat Sound off We gotta know what you’re fighting for Sound off Hey now hey now Hey wait a minute We can’t simply choose Shaking out of our shoes or be eaten alive Hey now hey now Hey wait a minute We’ve got to work through Shaking out of our shoes or be eaten alive Those who listen Those who hear Those who despise the insincere Those who don’t just simply mirror Sound off It don’t get no more real than this Sound off We can’t simply choose Shaking out of our shoes or be eaten alive Hey now hey now Hey wait a minute We’ve got to refuse Shaking out of our shoes or be eaten alive

Everything is moving in a circular way Somewhere, when you wake up, It’s the end of the day So keep your mind on the bright side Existence has exploded since its unending birth Now everything is rhetoric Each chorus a verse So keep your mind on the bright side Cuz it might take time You and I are caught in the thick of it Too few chose the truth Damaged my sentiment You and I are caught in the thick of it Too few chose the truth Damaged my sentiment The mare inside the ocean and it’s foamy white birth Says everything is rhetoric And chorus is verse So keep your mind on the bright side Cuz it might take time You and I are caught in the thick of it Too few chose the truth Damaged my sentiment And I have got to get something out of it Too few choose the truth Confused they lose Contused to bruise Damage by sentiment And it might take time

In my imagination Every conversation Is just me with my own Back against the wall To deny that Criticize that Now Don’t get me started Deniers Cliffsiders Lamp lighting box of the beast You better know now In my imagination Every conversation Is just me with my own Back against the wall Don’t get me started You better know

He’s a petrified ghost He is always out there wanting to Cheat you out of your most But you’ll never know Cuz he’s a petrified ghost He says he’ll take you all the way If only he weren’t se afraid He’s a petrified ghost He is always out there wanting to Cheat you out of your most But you’ll never know Cuz he’s a petrified ghost

If I eat Will you starve Who cares As long as what’s mine is mine No shame In great wealth Even if it causes your health to decline As long as what’s mine is mine What’s wrong is not just what you’ve got What do you do when they ask you “Come now Why don’t you just spread it around?” Can we just start this over And all together We’ll build it all back from the ground It’s all paranoia “They’re coming for you!” If that’s true then you better know you’re gonna be fine No one would need nothing Stop thinking about yourself Stop shouting “As long as what’s mine is mine!” Pull weight Bootstrap Straw man yourself in a trap Bust through What you built Weaponized with a detached hilt No harm and no blood spilt What’s wrong is not just what you think you outta have now What’s wrong is what we take away What do you do when they ask you “Come now Why don’t you just spread it around?” Can we just start this over And all together We’ll build it all back from the ground It’s all paranoia “They’re coming for you!” If that’s true then you better know you’re gonna be fine No one would need nothing Stop thinking about yourself Stop shouting “As long as what’s mine is mine!”

Maybe you feel amazing Maybe you feel you’re fading Maybe you’re feeling sore And poor And everything between Maybe life’s all around you Maybe it never found you Maybe it will astound and abound And everything between Cuz when I look into your eyes I feel fine and when I hear the “Thunder Road” I know time is flying by And it calms into my brain in a strange way And I ask you “What goes on?” Maybe you feel serrated Maybe it’s all navigated Maybe antiquated Or it’s too complicated for you Maybe you’re what’s amazing Maybe you’re what is fading Maybe it’s all the dreams And things that stick inside my head Cuz when I look into the mirror I start cryin And then I feel my oldest fear: that I’ll start dying And then it calms into my brain in a strange way And then I feel the calm insane in a strange way And I ask you “What goes on in your own?”

The animals All bury each other When they die To my surprise They all go to Heaven From the snakes to the birds in the sky Open their eyes To pearly white So open your body And look at your own skeleton It’s only skin It’s paper thin And tear everything apart piece by piece It’s it neat? But it’s not complete Your shadow’s your friend Your shadow shows that you’re alive There’s no goodbyes He’s by your side Until he sneaks into your pocket book And spends all your money on food Loose women and booze I think that’s rude So open the floorboards And strangle your shadow to death He had it coming He deserved it And tear everything apart piece by piece Isn’t it neat? But you’re not complete Isn’t it neat? But you’re not complete
