Here Goes Nothing
02:49
|
|||
You open with the end is near
No time to spare no fiscal year
I've only ever seen you praying
For something worth saving
Just so you can make it kneel
Here goes nothing
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Here goes nothing
Na na na na na na na na na
Showed up with a halo you borrowed
The prince in you're pocket
At least the cliff notes
A thing for firm handshakes and
Heads on stakes and
Misattributed quotes
Here goes nothing
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Here goes nothing
Na na na na na na na na na
Time out
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
No doubt
There's a reason for this treason
A plot that we're past believing
Empty the house where hate resides
The walls crumble with nothing inside
The king was pardoned in the garden
The blade was sharpened
And handed to the scribe
Here goes nothing
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Here goes nothing
Na na na na na na na na na

You've got to pull yourself together
That's not what I'm here for
You've got to pull yourself together
Can't use my love anymore
Can't use my love anymore
The game is rigged
Please tell me that you've noticed
The truth is
The game was rigged
From the start
It's not that hard to see
You've got to pull yourself together
That's not what I'm here for
You've got to pull yourself together
Can't use my love anymore
Can't use my love anymore
And it makes no difference
No difference to me
The game is rigged
Please tell me that you've noticed
The truth is
The game was rigged
From the start
It's not that hard to see

Waltz
04:00
|
|||
She opens her mouth
But the fear rushes in
This isn't a movie
No big speech to begin
Sad little queen
Of a sad little hill
Assailed on all sides
By her own free will
Oh if we lose or if we win
We will never be whole again
They said just hold on now
His years weren't enough
So she holds on to everything
Builds a wall of junk
Up in her tower
The battle rages below
Trying out actors
For the reality show
Mirror as clear as memory
With nothing on the other side
What do we do now
Lonely road needs no signs
Oh if we lose or if we win
We will never be whole again

Not There
02:51
|
|||
Wake up climb into your skin
And pretend to be human
For their amusement
Fake it till you break it
Shape it till you hate it
Take this mask
See how long you can last
More and more
You get that feeling you're not there
And less and less
That this road once led anywhere
You said god was dead
So they brought you in as the chief suspect
At least they were direct
When they forced into your shoes
Told you how you should really feel
Till nothing felt real
More and more
You get that feeling you're not there
And less and less
That this road once led anywhere
Don't you see it goes both ways now
Don't you see it goes
It goes it goes it goes it goes
More and more
You get that feeling you're not there
And less and less
That this road once led anywhere

Planet Earth 1999
04:04
|
|||
I don't recall
What sort of precocious shit I was drawing
A mountain stream
More likely something obscene
When Casey stole
My masterpience, starting making demands
I lost control
It's been twenty years now
And I can't erase that picture
Of my pencil
Sticking through the palm of his hand
What was it like
Planet earth 1999
I don't have much insight
Despite how I try
I'm just a passerby
What can I say
I sold half of the souls our classroom saved
I don't know why
Guess I liked that look in your eyes
I didn't know
Till one or two thousand miles down the road
I never know
Till it's all been put away
And called by a different name
And the rows all
Long ago have turned to go
What was it like
Planet earth 2009
I don't have much insight
Despite how I try
I'm just a passerby
Roll out of bed
Feeling like there's something you're about to forget
No not a dream
Just that feeling of doing nothing
No nothing at all
No second guess
No holy quest
No bills to pay
No boss to hate
The universe doesn't give a shit if you're late
What was it to you
Planet earth 2022
You thought maybe you knew
Now you don't have a clue
Just passing through

Flash in the Pan
02:47
|
|||
Who do you think you are
Breaking bread with blood on your hands
Half truths slipping through the bars
Shaking hands with the shake-up man
A flash in the pan
Who do you think you are
Playing dumb here they come no way out
See to it that it seems too far
Away to give a shit about
A flash in the pan
Who knew you could talk talk talk
Your way out of your own twisted mind

Tell Me Why
03:19
|
|||
Tell me why
The town crier still tries
Proclaims the place and time
A call to action
Just trying to get by
Our main infraction
Tell me who
Is acting more obtuse
The accuser the accused
The congregation
Acting too aloof
The allegation
You say I
Didn't try
Spent years just trying to keep up
You say more
Is what you're looking for
But how much is enough
Tell me when
Does all the fighting end
Nothing left to defend
That still wants saving
This wastleland we attend
Yours for the taking
Tell me how
Is what you said profound
You change the words around
Call it a breakthrough
Don't stay on my account
I'm empty but I'll make do
Tell me why
Tell me who
You say I
Didn't try
Spent years just trying to keep up
You say more
Is what you're looking for
But how much is enough
How much is enough

Going Once, Going Twice
04:15
|
|||
Get your futures now
At a lower price
Going once, going twice
That's the dream
The pyramid scheme
You won't but you might
The only gift I want to get is your mind
The only place I want to be has no signs
The only thing I want to buy is time
Take your business where someone cares
Come on down
Get your discount crown
That's the catch
The holy quest
You can't but you can try
The only gift I want to get is your mind
The only place I want to be has no signs
The only thing I want to buy is time
If I believe in anything
It's made of wood or earth or bone
So if the old man asks for me
Tell him I'm already home
The only gift I want to get is your mind
The only place I want to be has no signs
The only thing I want to buy is time

Trail of the Ancients
04:12
|
|||
On the trail of the ancients now
In search of better days
And so the hate follows the plow
There's something in the water
Malice in the martyr
A road that just gets in the way
I know what they were hiding from
I know what they were hiding from
Almost there
Denial it piles
The trial goes on
Almost there
The miles beguile
The child is gone
With the edge of the dullest blade
Hollowed out my mind
And so the people went away
The baskets still hold water
The doctor deals in proverbs
One way signs from another time
Almost there
The choir retires
The tired go on
Almost there
The miles beguile
The child is gone
I know what they were hiding from
The same thing we're hiding from

How Many
04:01
|
|||
How many words before you're heard
How much sun could a short ton breathe
How many burns before you learn
How many discounts before you're free
Where did we get stuck
In the weeds there's a seed
That don't need to know
What to do who is who
And how to breakthrough
How many burns before you learn
How many goodbyes before you leave
And how many tons before you're done
How deep a hole before you're told there's no need
How many crumbs before you've won
How many speeches before you can do as you please
Where did we get stuck
In the weeds there's a seed
That don't need to know
What to do who is who
And how to start new
How many crumbs before you've won
How many ghosts, how many machines
How many days before you cave
How much gold before a soul turns strange
How many shakes before you wake
How many dreams before you're deemed insane
Yes and how many words before you're heard
How much sun could a short ton breathe
How many burns before you learn
How many discounts before you're free
Where did we get stuck
In the weeds there's a seed
That don't need to know
What to do who is who
And how to breakthrough
How many burns before you learn
How many goodbyes before you leave

From Here
03:42
|
|||
Don't search out the sunshine anymore
There ain't no days left to grind
Don't ask for the time anymore
Cause we've reached
Cause we've reached the end of the line
Can't find my way back
Auld lang syne
Can't find my way back
From here I can see for miles
But I just can't see why
Don't try to change your mind anymore
Just keep on killing mine
Don't look for a sign anymore
I don't think
I don't think we'll ever arrive
Can't find my way back
Auld lang syne
Can't find my way back
From here I can see for miles
But I just can't see why

Start of Something
02:06
|
|||
This is the final boarding call
These are the stories we tell
Please proceed to suspend belief
This is the last wishing well
A great longing is upon us
Come on now the way is clear
Every winter is a promise
Come on now the way is clear
But night is falling
Take a moment for atonement
Those are the lands unceded
Like a maple seed she descends
These are the stories we need
A great longing is upon us
Come on now the way is clear
Every winter is a promise
Come on now the way is clear
But night is falling
Look there
From the mud here growing
The start of something
Look see
From the mud beginning
Sure enough
In the dusk
The start of something
