Castaway
03:30
|

it’s the laughter
like a kid out on the playground in the summer
what comes after
when you don’t have to be home in time for dinner
run away, run away, run away
that’s all you ever did anyway
leave today, leave today, leave today
never gonna be another way
happy with yourself
don’t need no one else
everything you need is on the shelf
drop the anchor
like a man out on a boat, can’t see the shoreline
meet your maker
like a castaway appreciates the sunshine
run away, run away, run away
that’s all you ever did anyway
leave today, leave today, leave today
never gonna be another way
but are you happy with yourself
now that you don’t need no one else
everything you need is on the shelf

Hothead

you always get so mad
‘cause you can’t trust anyone
talking in your sleep
‘bout the promises you keep
find a happy place
forget about your pain
find another way
reprogram your brain
hothead
you always get so sad
‘cause you can’t love anyone
split personality
a different person in your sleep
laugh so much you cry
forget about your pain
hide away your love
relocate your faith

I’m happy in a different kind of way
just yapping ‘cause i don’t know how to say
what’s lacking, there isn’t a picture in the frame
I’m sappy, in an awful way
just average, but it’s good enough to pass
no leverage, tipping the scales against yourself
I’ve had it, this isn’t who I really am
I’m conditioned to avoid what I don’t understand
but I know what you’re saying is true
you’re looking at me like I don’t have a clue
it’s not you, it’s not me, it’s the truth
doing donuts in the parking lot

every time I close my mind, I can’t ever seem to find
a little bit of happiness or just a little peace of mind
weeks turn into months then years,
feels like that time just disappears
when all your disappointments turn into a daily fear
deep blue skies are aways a surprise
long as you stay true to your piece of mind
you’ll find you never have to try
doesn’t matter what is above,
long as you stay true to your piece of mind
rolling on a broken wheel
just looking around for something to steal
to say I can’t relax with bloodhounds snapping at my heels
tell me how it makes you feel,
when you’re being told what’s surely real
well what do you expect from people who tell you how to feel?
deep blue skies are aways a surprise
long as you stay true to your piece of mind
you’ll find you never have to try
doesn’t matter what is above,
long as you stay true to your piece of mind

Majordomo

here I am again
made my bed
in my head
am I dead?
I treat you like a friend,
but I trust you
should I trust you?
do i love you?
thought this was the end
of the agreement
you didn’t mean it
I didn’t see it
just around the bend
you can find it
right behind it
you’re reminded
there’s nothing to defend
I’m not sorry
that you wronged me
please release me

Special World
01:10
|
|||
we can tell that you have been depressed most of the year
so there is something we want you to hear
it’s such a special world that’s all around you
yeah i know it’s tough, and the rules so very stiff
but every day alive is such a gift
it’s such a special world full of special boys and girls
and everyone who’s in between
spending time together, what a scene
it’s such a special world
it’s right outside your door

Deep Breaths
03:30
|
|||
making selfish demands
is getting you nowhere, but you don’t understand
i’m not here to tell you what is wrong or right
it’s all up to you to figure out your life
and it’s like breathing freely for the first time since you knew me
everyone that i know
has got something weighing down, keeping them slow
i’m not one to criticize the way you live
but all that I’m saying is you get what you give
and it’s like breathing deeply in an ocean full of grieving

What Are You Waiting For
03:35
|
|||
what do i say now
got a new perspective
it’s what i hadn’t thought about
gotta have some fun
that’s the main objective
where did you run off to now
if it goes unnoticed
my life exploded
is this what you wanted
what are you waiting for
it’s too late to give up
hard to keep your chin up
impossible to fix it
you gotta save yourself
how did you find out
it’s not what i expected
all i wanna do is jump
the exhibition of some bad advice
old habits you have protected
can’t do a thing for you now
if it goes unnoticed
my life exploded
is this what you wanted
what are you waiting for
why can’t you control it
could it be avoided
i just wanna help you
what are you waiting for

End of Days
03:37
|
|||
talk about it, people turn and look away
‘cause they know if it’s true,
then they will pay
watch it burn and blow away
watch it burn and blow away
turn into a cloud of grey
and it follows
and it swallows you whole
so you pull off the side of the highway
close your eyes and start to pray
close your eyes and start to pray
this might be the end of days
i’m a nihilist but i don’t wanna die
but you can’t cheat the end
though you will try
and it follows
and it swallows you whole
so you pull off the side of highway
watch it burn and blow away
watch it burn and blow away
this might be the end of days
