Oh man how I love the interstate
Wind in my hair feels great
Got no watch on my wrist
Gives me a good reason for being late
I tried to explain this all to you
I need the skies and I need you
Oh man how I love the interstate
Nothing bad and complicated
Got no place to travel
Gives me a good reason to just sit and wait
I tried to explain this all to you
I need the skies and I need you
[There is some additional singing at the end,

What did you think when it first crossed your mind?
Did you see beauty? You saw reflections of yourself
What did you expect to find me hiding behind the scenes?
I saw what you were never meant to see
Pieces of your life they never fit together everlasting
was the struggle and the burning flame inside
Hiding away the demons controlling thoughts controlling feelings
What did you think you'd come to innocence was lost
too long ago find out what you came for
What did you think when it first crossed your mind?
It wasn't long ago you had it deep inside
What did you expect to find? You found answers
What did you think you'd come to innocence was lost

Consequences more than tragic
were so much easier than now
what you want you have to buy it
love was so much more than magic
was so much easier than now
what you wanted was an ordinary friend
and i try to hold my breath sometimes
hoping i can wake up happy in the end
no one finds out what it is they thought
they think they thought they just might be
consequences more than tragic
were so much easier than now
what you want you have to buy it
love was much more automatic
was so much easier than now
what you wanted was an ordinary friend
and try to hold my breath

So what will I do when the size of the world
makes me ponder destinations?
And the blood inside keeps beating me,
saying if I leave you now,
there is still a chance to forget.
After that will anything else make sense?
Tell me how you think it is, does it move you?
I will listen.
Your shining eyes don't look my way,
but when the night falls I can see them,
I still feel them.
My polar devices seem to pull magnetically,
contrived to watch me spin.
Leave you now? Still a chance to be strong.
After all is done I still feel the sand on my feet
and the world in my hands,
and the echoes of that night will remain.
So why can't I understand?
I could weigh your remarks,
I could try to balance out all the miles between us now.
Branded by your gentle fire,
tasted what I still desire. Branded.
If I leave you now, I know I'll never forget.
Nothing to regret because the light that you gave me
will always shine inside, no need for me to lie.
And the time that remains is not pointless anymore.
Release my hand and fly.

take me back to this moment
i'll try to look away
i could try your form of listening
but that wont solve anything now
i could scream but you're listening
to someone else
(you will hear me say "i can feel it")
sad songs always make the most sense
intense, pretense, sensual experience
search for the harmony you gave me
play it on my own skills
see me, open and flowing
will you cast a second glance my way?
see me, open and screaming
six eyes on you.
you're doing the distance.
will my gaze mark your skin?
or will it sink in?
will I give up faith in the aspect that guides me?
my patience wears thin.
see me, open and flowing
will you cast a second glance my way?
ask myself and i know
the big sun's all we have
we cant always build from...
i could try your form of listening
but that wont solve anything now
i could scream but you're listening
to something else
(you will hear me say "i can feel it")
eyes on a resolution
searching for a solution
it drew my tears
a mixed-up confusion
my eyes are disillusioned
somehow i know
i have the choice to deal with this

He’s in your dreams
He whispers softly
Day and night he’s talking
Talking in your head
You cannot eat but you can sleep
Sleep the night away or hide away or daydream instead
Somewhere down the road he’ll lie to you
Break you down and hurt you too
There’s nothing left to say
Because in your heart you know what’s good for you
Think about what you’re going through
And what’s left of today
Somewhere down the road he’ll lie to you
Break you down and hurt you too
There’s nothing left to say
Because in your heart you know what’s good for you
Think about what you’re going through

It’s easy to see, it’s easy not to see
It’s the one thing you can rely on
Unreliance and uncertainty
It’s hard to be me, don’t try to be like me
Don’t say that you’re got nothing you can be
Just don’t be reliant on me
I’m inanimate and I won’t be having it anymore
The first time around was the last time I found what I was after
The force is pushing down but there’s something pushing me back again
And now I’m pushing back
You’re out of control and it’s getting so old
Can it be that you’re got nothing you can be except reliant on me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Constrained you know that you won’t make it anyway
Wait around for another day just don’t wait around for me
It’s easy to see, it’s easy not to see
It’s hard to be me, don’t try to be like me
It’s easy to see, it’s easy not to see
It’s hard to be me, don’t try to be like me
I’m inanimate and I won’t be having it anymore
The first time around was the last time I found what I was after
The force is pushing down but there’s something pushing me back again

Stumbling across your path takes me to the place I was last year
And it’s been so long since I’ve seen you in this light untainted
Memories that I have jaded ease the pain
Do you know just how I feel?
It makes it real and now the truth is unveiled
Trying to decide makes me want to run and hide
As the lies are washed away this scar aches
As right and wrong blend into one
The ending verse still remains unsung
So afraid of my faith but it’s time to move
Intercept your gaze clouded with this haze
That you can put around yourself
And now I’m seeing as you’re seeing too, as you’re seeing too
Cannot wait forever for you to come around
Existence still unsound so I will
Step aside and let you through
The title doesn’t fit you
This cycle signifies my doom

Nothing left for me to say, nowhere left for me to hide
I check myself before I stumble into one more pathetic situation
Find myself behind a locked door
Losing time to figure out just what I left behind
Lost inside myself because
Nothing’s ever good enough for me

i'm still feeling confusion
but ive decided
youre not good enough
you have expired, i
can see the tired in your eyes
so pack up, because you
failed to be what you said to be
i dont need you wasting all my time
i will be pacified no longer
the sparkle's gone from your eyes
i will be beautified and stronger
than you ever were
private bell ringing, to justify
you can hardly paint your picture
i'm strong, may not be fooled, just to think
we disagree on too many things
look me in the eye, you think your in the right?
there's no slap on the wrist this time
i will be pacified no longer
the sparkle's gone from your eyes
i will be beautified and stronger
than you ever were
(was it ever?)
thinking so long
but this time, I see
your true colors have doubts
with grey and white
nothing too so bright
the light, it vibrates
inside your eyes
the light, it vibrates
i will be pacified no longer
the sparkle's gone from your eyes
i will be beautified and stronger

My mom likes to hang around
It doesn’t bother me at all
She’s got more tattoos than my friends combined
and all the vinyl records I can’t find
She was around in seventy-seven and around in eighty-four
My friends say for a mom she’s pretty hardcore
She said she started the X’s on the straightedge hands
She started the mosh and the floorpunch and hung around with hardcore bands
She’s my mom and I’m proud to say to her crew in New York and east bay
My hardcore mommy dearest is here to stay
She’s my hardcore mom
She played bass for agnostic front
Tats of daggers on her thumbs
Yeah yeah yeah she’s my hardcore mom
She likes to hang around
It doesn’t bother me at all
She’s got more tattoos than my friends combined
and all the vinyl records I can’t find
She was around in seventy-seven and around in eighty-four

It wasn’t long ago she said
Look at me because something’s wrong
You’ve got to try to fight the urge to hide it
I deserve the peace of mind
Tell my face that nothing’s wrong
You’ve got to try to fight the urge to hide it
I deserve the peace of mind
I told you not to jump the gun
She said think about it
Think about it
I told you not to jump the gun, she said
I told you not to jump the gun
She said think about it
Think about it
I told you not to jump the gun,

Witness atrosity, but what do you see
you blind yourself!
so tell me now just what is right in your mind
these lies won't,
they won't prepare you for the real life
once again what do you see,
why do you choose to ignore these facts
And i'm not kidding, about what it all comes to
and i start getting.......wait for it to settle in
the jokes on your when you find yourself
it makes the time go by.
stand up hipocracy,
i'd like to think a high horse doesn't suit me but this time
i can feel it inside, i can see you try to hide
these lies won't prepare you
And when it happens to you you'll justify,
all night
And i'm not kidding, about what it all comes to
its times a frame of mind, and desires in the skys
the only thing thats in your mind is what you invite
so come join me as i question why we magnify and advertise.
it makes the time go by, makes the time go by
the jokes on your when you find yourself
alone and frightened.

You know you want to call me out
And I think you’re crazy for being that way
I’ve got dreams but got no winnings
I’m always on the losing team
It’s the same and I thought I had game
I let one go by looking
I couldn’t help but choke at the plate
So what’s the count anyway?
I saw you on the sidelines
Cheering for the other team on that day
I wish you remembered the score
Or told me if I was home or away
And you thought that you had game
I threw one in the gutter
I thought about you in the last frame
And next time I’ll do the same
I let one go by looking
I couldn’t help but choke at the plate
So what’s the count anyway?
You know you want to call me out
And I think you’re crazy for being that way
and I thought I had game
I let one go by looking
I couldn’t help but choke at the plate
So what’s the count anyway?
I threw one in the gutter
I thought about you in the last frame

step back, realize
i've not gone anywhere
but back and forth again
and i miss you my friend
the one who stands up for me
and is a better version of me
is missing and
i realized
my motivations cry at the thought of
confrontation
i am coming up with new ways everyday
to stay right where i am
first step, realize
if i pretend that i am
who i want to be
it might rub off on me
the one who stands up for me
and is a better version of me
is missing and
i realized
my motivations thrive on the thought
of creation
i am coming up with new ways every day
once i read through what you say
i wont have to stay
right where i am
once i read through what you say
i wont have to stay
right where i am
step back. realize
that your example it will turn out all right
step up just in time
to take the place of all the heroes in your mind
you're the only critic worth listening to
you've got to step back, step up, step up

It’s so confusing when there’s nothing left to say to her
My thoughts come out of nowhere
And go spinning down inside this blur
Now I’ve found my place
So easy to forget not this time
Now I’m in your face asking you to be mine
I try to figure out what undermines my will to be
But when I see your face this weight falls off my shoulder and I’m free
To you and now
I’m asking you to come with me
You don’t know just how much this means

It's time to cut myself out
It's time to break away
The only rising
And I know it looks back like I'm trying to hide
I'm just estatic from the morning light
It's perfect timing and I will be your eyes
And I wont die for trying
Cause sometimes everything just feels right
Will you see me?
When I come clean
What I, did to you is yours and yours to give
Trust me, and i'll make sure we'll fly
Brighter then the sun the moon will be our god
(Won't break through)
Won't pick you up cause you cant take it
(We'll break through)
These lucid times and I will make you, while you rain
In circles to please the routine cause faith is all we need
Reaching out and over
Despair and sadness is not what I have planned
(wohoooooooo)
Reaching out and over
Despair and sadness is not what I have planned
Will you see me?
When I come clean
What I, did to you is yours and yours to give
Trust me, and i'll make sure we'll fly
Brighter then the sun the moon will be our god
To the spaces in between
And I know I'm reaching
Amazing what you'll see when you finally breach it
Reaching out and over
Despair and sadness is not what I have planned
(wohoooooooo)
Reaching out and over
Despair and sadness is not what I have planned
(Spaces in between)
Reaching out and over
(And I know I'm reaching in amazing what you'll see when you finally reach it)
Despair and sadness is not what I have planned
(The spaces in between)
Reaching out and over
(And I know I'm reaching in amazing what you'll see when you finally reach it)
Despair and sadness is not what I have planned
What I have planned

Why don’t you come along with me I’m not going far away
I don’t think there’s much here for us to be
It could be more than just a dream so just promise you’ll believe
Why don’t you think about the lack in consequences?
Because I’m mad for you and what you pulled me into
I can’t stay another day I feel that every other day will bring one more
I must have something down inside of me but I can promise I’ll believe
I don’t think there’s much else that I can think
You don’t think you can be set free so just promise it to me
Why don’t you think about the lack in consequences?
Because I’m mad for you and what you pulled me into
I need someone to tell me what a fool I’ve been
I need someone to tell me what a fool I’ve been
(Why don’t you think about the lack in consequences?)
I’m mad for you and what you’re pulling me through

Every time I flip on my TV I see the same damn thing
It's singers who can't sing, dancers who can't dance
Rappers who can't rap and here I am without a record contract
I want to be on the radio, I want to headline a sell-out show
And be the one everybody knows
I want to see you at the show taking off your clothes

I find myself lost
Pressured to make something of my life
But at what cost
Can I keep myself?
Nothing can overcome
Indifference throws ability aside
Until I lose the will to care
Stuck in this frame
Intentions are shot
Down to the ground cause
(You won’t let me!)
Make up my mind
Stuck to this line
Nothing seems to fill
(This time!)
I try to take control
of this situation strangling my mind
but how long
until I lose myself?
Happiness evades me
Don’t know what it is I try to find
Just give me one good reason why I should care
Stuck in this frame
Intentions are shot
Down to the ground cause
(You won’t let me!)
Make up my mind
Stuck to this line
Nothing seems to fill
(This time!)
I’ve tried so many times to be just what you want me to be

Why can’t I wake up and pretend we’re not a little crazy and
the night is still young and I’m still in bed?
What wasn’t mine still isn’t yours
My principles fell to the floor
I don’t know where this stops or where it all began
Once again the entire night I could have wasted
Sleeping in with eyes wide open and a song playing on and on and on
It went a little something like this:
(Now I’ve found my way back to you) I’ve got a dream so why wake up?
(Nothing left to say back to you) I’m on the scene so why wake up?
So once again yet another night I could have wasted
Sleeping in with eyes wide open and a song playing on and on and on
I close my eyes for one moment just to see if I could get some inspiration.
