Love & Insanity
01:26
|
|||
|
In the strangest of places so many faces I do not recognize
A plan set in motion endless devotion that they would all despise
Dysfunctional fantasy the romance of you and me these are family ties
One last kiss for good luck no need to deduct you know the reasons why
Every single brick
Handpicked by you there is not a single thing I'd do to defy you
You have the blueprint for your amusement watch your dreams come true
I owe you my life I'll make things right just sit back & let me work
Like a man with a mortar medieval torture a flower that grew from the dirt
In conclusion this is a fusion a collision of 2 souls
An unfortunate casualty of love & insanity definitely goals
A sound foundation
Superior quality immune to the effects of your numerology
A home so happy a Mr. & Mrs. that be here to stay for awhile

Emotions
02:52
|

|
Emotions running so very high searching for the reasons why
Feeling feeling feeling so low on the edge & not letting go
The mind races all over the place the look of amusement on your face
An inside joke between 2 souls an understanding no one else knows
Like a child who's learned
He can finally burn the house down with his family members
And rise from the ashes
Like a firebird with the final word can you feel the embers
Razor sharp focus
Is a requirement if you wish to be secure in your retirement
Legitimate questions
Answered indirect a strong connection to feel the effect
The mind races all over the place the look of amusement on your face
An inside joke between 2 souls an understanding no one else knows
Like a child who's learned
He can finally burn the house down with his family members
And rise from the ashes
Like a firebird with the final word can you feel the embers
Once upon a time in a fairy tale the rain would fall & turn into hail
Like the resurrection
Of a holy ghost a man who figured out what matters the most
The mind races all over the place the look of amusement on your face
An inside joke between 2 souls an understanding no one else knows
Like a child who's learned
He can finally burn the house down with his family members
And rise from the ashes
Like a firebird with the final word can you feel the embers

Little Boy
02:58
|

|
I was born on June 22nd in 1988
In a humble home I was left alone impatiently I would wait
Holding on & singing the songs engraved into my soul
Tattooed tears after all these years like a lonesome rock I roll
Take me back back to days when I was a little boy
And I didn't have a care in the world I didn't have a care in the world
I didn't have a care in the
Take me back back to days when I was a little boy
And I didn't have a care in the world I didn't have a care in the world
I didn't have a care in the
24 hours in a single day 7 days in a single week
I saw it I heard it I understood it even though I could not speak
Like a wrecking ball that was scheduled to fall
With an unexpected delay
A temporary guest who came to rest and has now decided to stay
Take me back back to days when I was a little boy
And I didn't have a care in the world I didn't have a care in the world
I didn't have a care in the
Take me back back to days when I was a little boy
And I didn't have a care in the world I didn't have a care in the world
I didn't have a care in the
Afternoons spent in empty rooms in a humble house up the street
Designer clothes cover up your woes & disguise the struggle to eat
A pen in the hand of a simple man who wrote it down he's a poet
Clear as day but hard to say much easier to show it
Take me back back to days when I was a little boy
And I didn't have a care in the world I didn't have a care in the world
I didn't have a care in the
Take me back back to days when I was a little boy
And I didn't have a care in the world I didn't have a care in the world
I didn't have a care in the
Take me back back to days when I was a little boy
And I didn't have a care in the world I didn't have a care in the world
I didn't have a care in the

Am I staring out the window or playing my nintendo?
I don't know man I don't know man
My reality is slippin honestly I must be trippin
Well hello ma'am well hello ma'am
When I wake up in the mornin I wonder where I'm goin

Well hello ma'am well hello ma'am
I said nah

So this girl I'm pursuin I don't know what I'm doin

When you see me in the buildin you best believe I'm chillin
Well hello ma'am well hello ma'am

Until then I'll be relaxin lights camera action
Well hello ma'am well hello ma'am

Well hello ma'am well hello ma'am

How Have You Been?
03:21
|
|||
|
Scrawled on the walls of the dining halls
In your lonely mental institution
You've become the machines in your movie scenes
Such a beautiful use of your illusion
Lost at sea in a mutiny you are in control you have killed the captain
Your friends and family though they could not see
They could only ask each other "What has happened?"
Hello how are you how have you been?
Did you find your peace of mind?
Hello how are you how have you been?
Will this be for the last time?
Hello how are you how have you been?
Did you find your peace of mind?
Hello how are you how have you been?
Will this be for the last time?
Drowning in blood footsteps in the mud
You have left a path of pure destruction
You campaign of hate shall illuminate
The lava flows from your eruption
In a time of grief you have found relief by inflicting pain
Upon those around you
Your surroundings hide the evidence of suicide and your demons
Will always remind you
Hello how are you how have you been?
Did you find your peace of mind?
Hello how are you how have you been?
Will this be for the last time?
Hello how are you how have you been?
Did you find your peace of mind?
Hello how are you how have you been?
Will this be for the last time?
You have survived you have fortunately thrived
You have found your purpose & answered your calling
Your old comrades are still doing bad you have left them behind
Because they were stalling
And so it was said we remember the dead as we walk along
In the land of living
Lay your head down to rest in this wonderful mess
The final test you have been given
Hello how are you & how have you been?
Did you find your peace of mind?
Hello how are you & how have you been?
Will this be for the last time?
Hello how are you & how have you been?
Did you find your peace of mind?
Hello how are you & how have you been?
Will this be for the last time?

Any More
03:25
|

|
I took a drive through my hometown took a look around
It doesn't look the same to me any more any more
Checking up on an old friend life looking dead end
He is not a friend to me any more anymore
I stop & I sit & I reminisce about my childhood
Good times good times
And as I reflect on the present tense it all makes sense to me
Good times good times
Barbecues in the park drinking after dark
That is not the life fore me any more any more
Smoking on grass just to let the time pass
Is not the remedy any more any more
I stop & I sit & I reminisce about my childhood
Good times good times
And as I reflect on the present tense it all makes sense to me
Good times good times
Drugs for cash step on it to make it last
Strong armed robbery not any more any more
Living life fast like a snake in the grass
No bragging rights for me any more any more
I stop & I sit & I reminisce about my childhood
Good times good times
And as I reflect on the present tense it all makes sense to me
Good times good times
Any more any more

My Way Back Home
02:48
|
|||
|
I been beaten down by these dogs of war
Wandering through purgatory never more
And I sold my soul just to settle this
Found my way back home for another kiss
And I'm not gonna stop until I make it to the top
I said I'm not gonna stop until I make it to the top
Another sleepless night another endless day
End of conversation nothing else to say
And I sold my soul just to take that chance
Found my way back home for another dance
And I'm not gonna stop until I make it to the top
I said I'm not gonna stop until I make it to the top
Unfamiliar beds unfamiliar towns
The Art Of Language unfamiliar sounds
And I sold my soul just to take that drive
Found my way back home I'm still alive
And I'm not gonna stop until I make it to the top
I said I'm not gonna stop until I make it to the top
Just a few more miles until I see your face
The 1 thing in my life I could never replace
And I sold my soul cause I thought I could
Found my way back home now I'm back for good
And I'm not gonna stop until I make it to the top
I said I'm not gonna stop until I make it to the top

Born for This
03:35
|
|||
|
There's something that I have to tell
Something that you should know
Ring the alarm ring the bell
I've run away they did not let me go
Well I was born for this, I was born for this
Like a wanted poster nailed to the wall
A newspaper article a collect call
I'll return when the times are better
Unless they lock me up forever
Well I was born for this, I was born for this
Turn on your television screen
The conclusion of this story to be seen
It looks like the long arm of the law
Has beat me to the draw
Well I was born for this, I was born for this
I was born for this

I ripped my heart out of my chest it was the very best feeling ever
I ripped my heart out of my chest it was the very best feeling ever
I tore a hole in my shoe it left me feeling blue & under the weather
I tore a hole in my shoe it left me feeling blue & under the weather
I saw something I shouldn't have seen do you know what I mean?
Well okay whatever
I saw something I shouldn't have seen do you know what I mean?
Well okay whatever
I ripped my heart out of my chest it was the very best feeling ever
I ripped my heart out of my chest it was the very best feeling ever
I fell underneath her spell it made me feel well in fact even better
I fell underneath her spell it made me feel well in fact even better
I danced underneath the stars built a spaceship to Mars light as a feather
I danced underneath the stars built a spaceship to Mars light as a feather
I ripped my heart out of my chest it was the very best feeling ever
I ripped my heart out of my chest it was the very best feeling ever
I wished wished upon the moon that we would meet again real soon
I put it in a letter
I wished wished upon the moon that we would meet again real soon
I put it in a letter
I would wait for many many a year hoping to hear I'll never forget her
I would wait for many many a year hoping to hear I'll never forget her
I ripped my heart out of my chest it was the very best feeling ever
I ripped my heart out of my chest it was the very best feeling ever

Blindsided
03:52
|

|
I said hey you I said hey you
I woke up this morning & without any warning
I was blindside by her love
I still can't believe it, I'm so lucky to receive it
She's my angel sent from above
And all through the evening I still can't shake this feelin
I was blindsided by her love
And yes just maybe you can call me crazy
She's my angel sent from above
Hey you I said hey you
I used to feel empty & just about anything could tempt me
Until I was blindsided by her love
Thanks to her hocus pocus it's much easier to focus
She's my angel sent from above
Like a fish dropped in the ocean she put my life in motion
I was blindside by her love
My blanket my security always there for me
She's my angel sent from above
Hey you I said hey you

Dreams

Their dreams would always seem impossible to those
Who heard them when they'd speak heard them when they'd speak
So it would seem that we have reached the conclusion of your speech
What do you have left to teach?
I must declare that we have arrived acceleration overdrive
Not a single soul left alive
Their dreams would always seem impossible to those
Who heard them when they'd speak heard them when they'd speak
One last walk along the avenue your favorite thing to do
Ooh ooh ooh
The final night we spend out on the town before it all goes down
Dow ow own
Their dreams would always seem impossible to those
Who heard them when they'd speak heard them when they'd speak
The fairytale ending that you've come to expect
Has a major flaw & defect something you won't regret
The picture that's been painted is not black and white
The colors shine so bright, bri igh ight
Their dreams would always seem impossible to those
Who heard them when they'd speak heard them when they'd speak

Redemption Song
04:04
|

|
Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pits
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Yes some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
Won't you have to sing
These songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
All I ever had
Redemption songs
These songs of freedom
Songs of freedom

Soul Sister

Hey Hey Hey
Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went & let you go and blow my mind
Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided
You're the one I have decided who's one of my kind
Hey soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister
I don't want to miss a single thing you do
Tonight
Hey Hey Hey
Just in time
I'm so glad you have a one-track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection we can't deny
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you like a virgin you're my Donna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind
Hey soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister
I don't want to miss a single thing you do
Tonight
Way you can cut a rug
Watching you's the only drug I need
So gangster I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of you see
I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you'll be with me
Hey soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister
I don't want to miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey soul sister
I don't want to miss a single thing you do
Tonight
Hey Hey Hey
Tonight
Hey Hey Hey
Tonight
