Brain 02:40
With every twist of your mind A new creation You wander in and out Of different worlds And everything works perfectly Who's at the controls It's your brain... What goes on in there, do your Thoughts come from this thing? It knows all A container for your mind And it knows your history It determines what you are
2.
Half man, half pig And half machine A trip bashing fiend Your second coming Has long since been Your welcome's there But it's cold Tear it out, keep it clean You're talking shit It's all foreign to me I've broken down to a crawl I don't know what your tar And feathers for But stop walking away You're leaking oil, a tinge of green And bearing down on me Is this the worst it can be? Free yourself into the dream Take it on the chin you fool You believe what you see Half machine and half man Eat yourself straight from the can
3.
With agold chain He wouldn't be seen dead Too much He picks his spot And it's dimly litten also He's a happening man In his own mind Only in his own mind He's not even in here And he's not me In his mind Your life is in his hands He's too much And he sees now That his preflight nerves Are out of control now Tormenting him again He plays such a small part in this And he hates just that side of it He could trip now; he's happening He's dragged the chain So he's glad of a change now There's little chance Of reality hitting him for too long
4.
Drained 05:00
As empty as a broken bowl A vacant lot, a gaping hole What does it take? just everything What does it leave? just n othing It's always good to get away Look inside, look inside You heart is mush, chin up A tidal wave is above your head Just swim for safety In the form of some good friends It's amazing How quick they can scatter Oh well, it doesn't matter It's happened before And it will happen again I feel completely drained Even my legs can't Take my weight, they buckle Under my feet it's green But it's not the best I've ever seen I was younger then And everything I was told Turned out to be sort of true So I've come to the conclusion I should just try everything once And learn from experience Like a deep cut It's simply gushing out With lead eyelids It's kind of hard to see the light As the dark consumes But I'm exaggerating I'm simply bored of being normal It's a curse about me I'm simply pouring out And I feel drained
5.
Dependent 02:21
In your presence I am not responsible For my actions But it;s here I find relief In your womb I am safe and sound And your love is the fluid That surrounds me If I never see the light of day again Well I can't be, I can't be concerned But I'm concerned about it Because I've become a dependent I know I've become dependable I crave you Like a shadow craves the sun If I never, ever leave again Well I can't be concerned
6.
Wade 03:32
It' sodden under foot Pools of persistence they lie Always in the same place Always at the lowest point And all the scattered rain Is absolutely soaking wet The ground is full now, thank you I can't even reach the chives If I counted up the days When I didn't have to wade I would be holding up Just one hand And it wouldn't be to wave If I lay down on my back I could float out across the yard And I could bottle up all my Thoughts on this day Then I'd know I'd been this way Then as quick as lightening All the clouds departed Out to see and I I realized if I was quick enough I could catch them on a breeze
7.
Life was floating by When I caught it out The corner of my eye And I was thinking That is all I need This is all I need A little privacy A place where I can be And now I'm thinking That is where I'll see This is all I need A little space in the sun And there upon my face You'll see my permanent grin Don't knock my scene Because I've been you And now it's plain to see Yes, it's plain to me This is all I need
8.
Teeth 03:44
Can't see past your own self You're always thinking of yourself And trying to line your pockets With the money I pay You're sticking with your own kind Maybe you should pack it in You're always thinking of yourself Just another way of lying Through your teeth You're staring straight at me And proving nothing here But your incompetency Put yourself in my shoes You might discover what it's like Or even worse; you could be living Like a bum on the street Who's picking through a can He would like to do you in You're always thinking Of yourself
