Stay Awake

Stay Awake

Staring at the wall because you know it understands
And boy you wonder about everything that could have been
It's getting later all the time but you're still wide awake
And boy you wonder, if you'll ever sleep again

Hey, hey, gotta stay awake
Don't let it slip away
Don't think that they're not waiting
Hey, hey, gotta stay awake
As your mind is peeled away
But they still seem to find you anyway

Sift your hands through broken glass
Through your shattered crystal ball and boy you wonder
If you'll ever see again

Cause every time you close your eyes
You know they're right behind you and you wonder
If you'll ever live again
Don't make a sound cause they're living all around
With their shiny eyes and their shiny minds
And they're living everywhere
Watching every move I make
Gotta stay awake




Once In A While

When you close your eyes
Do you like what you see?
Inside your mind
And do you like to dream
About the stars above?
Once in a while

Don't go to the other side
For nothing at all
Better make it worth your while
Gonna break down that wall
Gonna take the fall

Don't go to the other side
You might mess up that hair
Just wait you might change your mind
To think that people might care
About your hair anyway

Don't go to the other side
Just get down on your knees
Show me what you are made of
I'm begging you please
Just please go away
Don't go to the other side




Bottom Of The Floor

You're not the one to live for
You're not the one to die for
And you think you know what life's about
When the bottom of your floor starts fallen out
It's fallen out

Last night at the party
You let it out
You never seem happy
It wears me out
It's something so stupid
You wear the crown
And there will always be this thing
You just can't live without
So pull your head out

You're not the one to live for
You're not the one to die for
And you think you know what life's about
But when the bottom of your floor starts fallen out
It's fallen out

Later at the party
I was passing out
You're something so filthy
It eats me out
At needs never ending
You wear the crown
But there will always be this thing
That you just can't live without
So pull your head out

You're not the one to live for
You're not the one to die for
And you think you know what life's about
But when the bottom of your floor starts fallen out
It's fallen out




Healing Star

I know how much you've paid
It just seems so insane, anyway and
I know we're not the same
I wish I was the best thing that you've ever had

Let me be your healing star
Let me take you far from there
And take you anywhere

I know it felt like home
The rats inside your bones took you far away and
To miss it seems insane
To wish it was the best thing that you've ever had

I know I'd be happier
I know I'd be happier, inside you
I know I'd be happier, inside
I'll take you anywhere




Until I Wake Up

I rest my head
Between the bed and sky
Download my dread
Disarm my mind, make it dry

Nothing in motion, and I'm satisfied
No disappointment, until I wake up
Don't want to wake up

Into clear space
Vivid vision, see her shape
At my bedside, beam up my mind please




5 Star Day

We've come so far to be where we are
This perfect reality
Everything's easier now, we are free
We can have everything we need

This 5 star day is here
This perfect world is clear

We're moving faster now, get in line
Or you'll get left behind
Into this bright white day, we will go
Stumbling, as we slowly all go blind

This 5 star day is here
This perfect world seems clearer
This 5 star day is here

Let it hit the sky, let it wash away
Bright as a thousand suns to see
Come along, every one, gather round, hurry up
Don't be late, it's time for us to leave




Truth Serum

You're not angry at me
You're just angry
And I'm just standing here while you're down
Now I see the real world
When it's too late
When it's too late to matter now

Truth serum is in your veins
Saying things I can't explain

They always say, truth will find a way
It makes you sick, cause you can't fake it
They always say, the truth will find a way
Truth serum is in your veins
And now I see you stripped down
Never before have I ever seen you drown
'Cause you're not angry at me
You're just angry
And I'm standing here while you're down

Truth serum is in your veins
You're saying things I can't explain
Tell me more or I'll shove you around




So Blind

You feel nervous
So much you can't swallow
Now you sit here worthless
Watch her sing, watch her shaking up my life

You're so blind
I know that you know

She makes me feel
Like a man in a spaceship going down
Where no one has gone before
Far away, so far away from here

You're so blind
You're sublime
I know that you know

Tonight could be all that is pure
For a night on the Lincoln bedroom floor
Too much is enough for us to burn
Shut up and listen to your life

Listen to your life
You're so blind




Gone Upside Down

He's a pro
'Cause you'll find he'll go harder
And so hard he'll step right in
So nice, he'll take a bullet for you

Hey, save your praises
'Cause I've gone upside down
Hey, save your praises
'Cause I've gone upside down
Spun around
I've gone upside down

Fresh surprise, 'cause you'll find
Free advice
He's so kind
Jump right in, and so high
He'll take a bullet for you
He'll take a bullet for you
I've gone upside down




So Much Time

You were so perfect, I couldn't see
That something was broken underneath
That you were so fragile, a landslide
You could give way
Pulling the world up overhead
You want me to pull you from the ledge
But I've got no answers, in the end
I hope you understand

So much time has passed us by
Though you try to make things right
You just give away, tonight

Life was so perfect, we couldn't see
That something was broken underneath
That life is so fragile, a landslide
We could give way




The Bridge Song

I don't know where to go
So I guess I have to fly
I'll have to dream of all good things before I die

So where to go
Lord, I guess I'll have to fly
I'll have to dream of all good things before I die

Chorus:
And it's getting so much harder to be one these days
So much harder to believe
So much harder to be one these days
So much harder to believe

And did they know that they'd need a fence so high
Cause giving up is a total waste of time
I stop to breathe in an air B as I
Watch the ground beneath us blend into the sky

Repeat Chorus twice

I dont' know where to go
I dont' know where to go
No, i don't know where to go..




Pop Guru

Sign up for a lecture with a man in a trance
You see the saints are all a step below the masters
Listen and believe what you're going to receive
And maybe you'll avoid the next disaster

Pop Guru's got a message for you
And we're all following
We're all following
Keep your power and your promise
And erase all your sins
And you can be all priestesses and healers
If they can be divine, then so can you
And so are all the prostitutes and dealers
While angels move like photons
The skeptics persist
If you want a past life you can have one
Swimming in the gene pool
Before we exist
Do you have your rubber gloves on?
