Track listing
Outrospective
If you place a thing into the center of your life
That lacks the power to nourish
It will eventually poison everything that you are
And destroy you
A simple a thing as an idea
Or your perspective on yourself of the world
No one can be the source of your contempt,
It lies within, in the center.
Only with mellow while your thin enough to slide through
Only with mellow while your thin enough to slide through
Don't let nothing ride you.
If the sun or the moon should keel away to die,
They would immediately go out .
One.
Swallow don't make a sound,
But tomorrow has to start somewhere.
Newspapers entertain,
Lion Tamers die in pain
This Child wise beyond words
Whose tears flow without seize
Newspapers entertain,
Lion Tamers die in pain
This child wise beyond words
Whose tears flow without seize
When there's no where, left to run to
Let me come to you, let me help you down
For when the world, gives you tomorrow
Your gonna learn to live again
We can learn to go,
Oh learn as we go
Just to live, for the day
I know it's hard, to live for the moment
Just try, anyway
