Authenticity
04:33
|
|||
|
You sing the same old song you’ve sung penned by some other composer
Of which you’ve mastered every word with the skill of a poser
You tell me one thing when you mean another
Words fall from both sides of your mouth
Until I can’t tell one from the other
Don’t show me who you pretend to be
Just give me some authenticity
You’re hiding another face in case you need to replace it
With a memorizing look that’s begging me to embrace it
If there’s some truth behind your eyes you’re blowing smoke to conceal it
You’ve got a factuality but you don't know how to reveal it
It’s the real you I am trying to see
Just give me some authenticity
Is this real or is it fake?
Don’t show me who you pretend to be
Just give me some authenticity
It’s the real you I am trying to see
Just give me some authenticity
Authenticity, won't you give it to me?

Before and After
04:10
|

|
The force of destiny’s eventuality was something we could not escape
The consequences of our decisions made ripples like a stone thrown in the lake.
Too little too late. Then everything we ever wanted was crushed by fate.
That was the time. That was the time. From which we measure before and after.
That was the time when everything went faster.
None of this circumstance was merely happenstance.
It was littered along the road was chose to take.
There was no mistake. Then everything we ever wanted, was bound to break.
That was the time. That was the time. From which we measure before and after.
That was the time we slid into disaster.
When everything we ever wanted, felt like a mistake
Then everything we ever wanted, was bound to break
When everything we ever wanted, arrived too late.
Then everything we ever wanted, was crushed by fate
That was the time. That was the time. From which we measure before and after.
That was the time we slid into disaster.
That was the time. That was the time. From which we measure before and after.
That was the time when everything went faster.
When everything we ever wanted, felt like a mistake
Then everything we ever wanted, was bound to break
When everything we ever wanted, arrived too late.
Then everything we ever wanted, was crushed by fate

Hang Up
03:01

Don't call me. I'm afraid to hear what you call me.
So don't call me.
Just hang up. I know I've got so many hang ups.
Just hang up on me.
Don't keep in touch. It just keeps me longing for your touch.
Don't keep in touch.
Just hang up. I know I've got so many hang ups.
Just hang up on me.
I want you here, but I don't really want to hear
Your voice on the line. It just leaves me reading between the lines
And longing for your touch. Don't keep in touch.
Just hang up. I know I've got so many hang ups.
Just hang up on me.
Don't call me. I'm afraid to hear what you call me.
So don't call me.
I want you here, but I don't really want to hear
Your voice on the line. It just leaves me reading between the lines.

Your Generation
02:54
|
|||
|
Welcome to this imperfect world that we've made
You're inheriting an earth that's worn and frayed
But your generation will pull through
At least I hope, we're counting on you
We've chosen leaders who let us all down.
They stole our faith and ran it into the ground.
But your generation will find truth.
At least I hope that you'll try to.
I'm talking about your generation.
Who will bail us out? Your generation.
Who will take the fall? Your generation.
You will save us all.
Your mothers learned to repeat the same old mistakes.
While your fathers jumped a train without any brakes.
But your generation will come through.
I'm sure you'll figure out what to do.
I'm talking about your generation.
Who will bail us out? Your generation.
Who will take the fall? Your generation.
You will save us all.

Fall Away
03:53
|
|||
|
If you find there's just too much to do.
Let me know. I'll help you pick and choose.
Sometimes these things are just out of your hands.
And you've just got to leave it chance and see where it lands.
But everything you want is everything you need and it's all gotta be right now.
Sometimes you've gotta let it fall. Fall where it may.
Sometimes you've gotta let it fall away.
When it seems the shortest step is so tall.
What seems so important, tomorrow means nothing at all.
Some days new ground feels just too hard to break.
But sometimes there's a risk that you've just got to take.
But everything you want is everything you need and it's all gotta be right now.
Sometimes you've gotta let it fall. Fall where it may.
Sometimes you've gotta let it fall away.

Nagging Feeling
03:57
|
|||
|
I’ve got a nagging feeling in my bones. That any word you say you didn’t make up on your own.
An awkward conversation gave me a premonition that I just can’t shake.
You fooled me once, or maybe even twice but there’s some things you just can’t fake.
Because I know you better than you think that I do. I might be naïve, but this is make believe.
I’ve got a nagging feeling down to my toes, that you’re role-playing a character you chose.
My intuition led me to a suspicion that I just can’t shake.
You fooled me one or maybe even twice but there’s some things you just can’t fake.
Because I know you better than you think that I do. I might be naïve, but this is make believe.
I’ve got a nagging feeling in my brain that your fantasies and realities are the same.
Your cool expression gave me a false impression that I just can’t shake.
You fooled me one or maybe even twice but there’s some things you just can’t fake.
Because I know you better than you think that I do. I might be naïve, but this is make believe.
I’ve got a nagging feeling.

Waiting in Line
03:05
|

|
Doctor, what is your prescription for this life that I’ve had?
Do I need a consultation for a note from your pad?
So I can meet someone at the pharmacy
While endlessly waiting in that line
Come and get something for what ails ya
And whatever fails ta make you feel right
Doctor, what’s your professional opinion about my burning heart?
I’ve got antacids, and aspirin and aloe vera and refills in my cart.
I’ll meet someone at the pharmacy
While endlessly waiting in that line
Come and get something for what ails ya
And whatever fails ta make you feel right.
There might be somebody just like me browsing through the aisles
It can be so lonely seeking remedies and waiting in line
Doctor, if the cure is romantic relations, there’s no prescription for that.
Recommend some new medications so I can make my way back.
I’ll meet someone in the pharmacy
While endlessly waiting in that line
Come and get something for what ails ya
And whatever fails ta make you feel right
There might be somebody just like me browsing through the aisles
It can be so lonely seeking remedies and waiting in line.
Doctor.

Uncomplicated
03:27

|
Please don't say you don't understand
I think you know what I'm going to say
Don't pretend you can't see my hand
It's the same old game we always play
It's really not a puzzle or any kind of mystery
It's not hard to figure out what this means
So why can't we make this easy?
An uncomplicated thing.
Please just tell me what you feel
And I won't assume that we feel the same
Cause I can't play by the rules
When I'm unsure if they've changed
It's really not a puzzle or any kind of mystery
It's not hard to figure out what this means
So why can't we make this easy?
An uncomplicated thing.

Robots Will Not Win
03:43
|
|||
|
Innovate and re-create. Technology is here to save the day.
Initiate a new state of doing the same things a better way.
Though circuits may replace me,
While there are veins beneath our skin
We'll ensure the robots will not win.
This automation has no emotion.
So we will put our hearts in this machine.
Redefine and redesign. Productivity must not be lost.
Refine and realign no matter what the human cost.
These machines will displace me,
But while our blood flows from within,
We'll ensure the robots will not win.
Computers will outpace me,
But while we share that bond among our kin,
We'll ensure the robots will not win.

Laugh
03:23
|
|||
|
When everything you feel seems to hurt
And you lose sight of what it's all worth.
Though you can't see it now
I hope someday this all seems funny somehow.
When every day casts a new curse
And it seems things can only get worse.
Though you can't see it now
I hope someday this all seems funny somehow.
I just had to laugh. Sometimes that's all we have.
When you feel the sting of every word
And everything you say goes unheard
Though you can't see it now
I hope someday this all seems funny somehow.
I just had to laugh. Sometimes that's all we have.

The Good in Goodbye
02:32
|
|||
|
I've been searching for the good in goodbye.
Until I fill the space that you occupied
Please, oh please
Remember me
(Please) and our history.
(Please) remember me.
(Please) don't leave me behind.
Memories are crowding my mind.
And keeping me from seeking new bonds that bind.
So please, oh please
Remember me
(Please) and our history
(Please) remember me
(Please) don't leave me behind.
Instrumental on verse
I've been searching for the good in goodbye.
Until we've found the reasons why, oh why.
Please, oh please
Remember me
(Please) and our history.
(Please) remember me.
(Please) don't leave me behind.

Hiding and Seeking
04:30
|
|||
|
I start every day wearing ill fitting clothes
Follow my car where it goes where I pretend to be someone nobody knows
But you can find me
When we go hiding and seeking, running through the dark
We’ll duck in the shadows not hiding who we are x2
By light of day I’ve got another face
I wear to replace The one I show to you in a safer place
Where you find me
When we go hiding and seeking, running through the dark
We’ll duck in the shadows not hiding who we are x1
But you can find me
We’ll go hiding and seeking, running through the dark
We’ll duck in the shadows not hiding who we are x2
Hiding and seeking
