Keep this in mind
You can leave it at any time
You said everybody's passing me by
Souls shaking to shine
When the blood-red moon aligns
And you said everybody's bucking for their time
So bring us back to life
Look at you now
You're living paycheck hour to hour
And you said everything's beginning to sour
Don't you be deceived
By the urge you have to leave
You said everybody just needs a dream
To bring us back to life
Bring me a sign, pass me the drugs
History's repeating and we're far from the sun
Planning our collision with wayward precision
History: believe it when you see it
Look at the time
And we start so far behind
Sitting watching life simply pass us by
It's in our design
On the outskirts of our minds
It's war today so pray to your god
And if not for you, then fight for someone
Bring me a sign, pass me those drugs
History's repeating and we are fucking this up
Planning our collision with wayward precision
History: believe it when you see this erupt
Forget what you see
Forget what you mean
Forget what the scene is
Going out of your mind
Run with it or leave it behind
The rest of us will tow the line

Astride the 49th
03:56
|

Got to get a feeling off my mind, and leave it behind
I got a problem dealing with the sides, on which we reside
Maybe you've been hardened by the right
Or maybe you've been blinded by your might
How's the weather down there
Are your people unaware
What's the balance of the weight
In the sixty three states
Can we write an anthem made of life, between you and us
You're being careless in the way you handle our trust
We're little brother to the best, one in the West
Just another patriot retired, in friendly fire
My son, someday all of this could be theirs
My daughter someday all of this could be theirs
Are we being neighborly enough, to be on your side
We have always tried to understand, your damaged pride
We would never call your anthem down, or insult your flag
We've got a reason to be proud, but never to brag
How's the weather down there
Are your people unaware
What's the balance of the weight
In the sixty three states

Vision

Turned on the vision to watch the stars
Stunned and broken with media myths
Another preacher to try to refill what I am
In another minute of lost control
Between the minutes of wayward bliss
Give me a minute to gain control of my own
I haven't seen a thing
I still don't know a word
I'm not a part of the way we did
Teach ourselves how to lose the sun
And this machine may consume the rest of what we are
There is no control
At least that's what we're told

Unworlded
03:56
|

I woke up to be subconsciously sleeping
With the echoes of a people softly weeping
And like a thief in the night, I am running from the truth
And I am spoonfed grief from a satellite over my roof
I have a democratic mantra
I am an unworlded Canada
Will someone wake me from this
Envisioning the pain on faces just like mine
Though I have no responses to the effects of these dark times
I have a democratic mantra
I am an unworlded Canada
Will someone save me from this
I have a democratic mantra
Will someone wake me from this
Will something save me from this

The Final Mile
04:12
|

As the tale is told
As the dream unfolds
While the tension grows
As I'm growing older
Sometimes I think it's damned
And that misery's part of the plan
I believe when it comes down to it
That I will retrieve you from the bottom of it
Oh lord, if I run out of time
I'll make a break for the final mile
If my legs are tired
And my passion is all but mired
And each obstacle waits
To pollute my mind with hating what we are
I believe when it comes down to it
That I will retrieve you from the bottomless pit
Oh lord, if I run out of fire
I'll make a break for the final mile
I'll make a break for the final mile
If my soul is lost
And my spirit is drowned by the cost
If I do not feel that my body is loaned
If I own anything, then I am owned
I believe when it comes down to it
That I will retrieve you from the bottom of it
Oh lord, if I run out of time
I'll make a break for the final mile
I'll make a break for the final mile
I'll make a break for the final mile
You know I will make a break for the final mile
I'm gonna run

The Future And Beyond
06:08
|
|||
In the walls of our domicile
Thoughts can go awry
Vacant and volatile
Minds intensify
I can look to you
And you can look to me
While the circuits are running scared from the lightning
It's a riot
Of the mind
So enjoy the ride
To be locked into a memory
Of the places that you've gone
Don't let it hold you from
The future and beyond
You can suck it up and let some people down
Or write them all into the song
I can live with it if you can live with it
Can't we all get along?
It's a riot
Of the mind
It's a riot, yes it is
So light the candle right on the first of July
In the craze of the atmosphere
Your friends become your ground
I can take it in if you can take it in
Can we get another round
It's a riot
Of the mind
It's a riot, yes it is
So you light the candle right on the first of July
