Life In Color 03:32
lyrics
buy track
Waking up for a dead end job in a suit and tie just to stare at the wall until 5 o'clock and I'm on the road Behind miles of cars till I find my way home But I'm dreaming life in color cuz I've got the world to discover and I'm seeing life in color 'cause I'm leaving town for the summer Waiting aimlessly for your call as I change the station but nothing is on I'm counting sheep as I rest my head till the lights are out and it's all been done and said But I'm dreaming life in color cuz I've got the world to discover and I'm seeing life in color 'cause I'm leaving town for the summer

Killing Time 04:05
lyrics
buy track
Swimming in the midst of restless souls waiting for a signal to take me home I'm only passing through this lawless land until my weary legs can help me stand dreary eyed mister wants to pick a fight nothing to lose in his strung out night looking for a cut from a silver spoon I am not the one he said he'll be back soon Killin time, runnin circles in an endless parade from sun-up, till the city lights have faded away time to find a new friend who care's to take me in or tonight I'll be calling these streets my home again calling these streets my only friend no cover and it's looking to rain now, outta cash, gotta make it by somehow If I retraced all the mistakes I made maybe I can make sense of all this gray wired in a clutter of wound up thoughts moving so fast I already forgot anxiety stabbin me in the back synapsis triggers throwing me off track killin time, runnin circles in an endless parade from sun-up, till the city lights have faded away time to find a new friend who care's to take me in or tonight I'll be calling these streets my home again calling these streets my only friend I want you I need you I need you tonight for myself You want me you need me You need me toni-ight for your health killin time, runnin circles in an endless parade from sun-up, till the city lights have faded away time to find a new friend who care's to take me in or tonight I'll be calling these streets my home again calling these streets my only friend

lyrics

Your'e only as good as your last word You're only as bright as the day is long So stay by the one who holds you and I'll go on singing my lovesick song You're only a passing moment You're only a blink in the world that turns So I'll keep on playing my guitar wait for it all to crash and burn What side are you on What side are you on What side are you on now? What side are you on What side are you on? Doesn't matter anyhow Your'e only as good as your last word You're only as bright as the day is long So stay by the one who holds you and I'll go on singing my lovesick song You're only a passing moment You're only a blink in the world that turns So I'll keep on playing my guitar wait for it all to crash and burn What side are you on What side are you on What side are you on now? What side are you on What side are you on? Doesn't matter anyhow

Take Back Your Mind 03:23
lyrics
buy track
let's paint the signs on backwards I'm willing to even the score And we will all be helpless just like centuries before take back your mind lose your sense of time There's no direction to find Take back your mind Lose your sense of time There's no direction to find If I lost all my senses Would there be light in the sky Or would there be no failures only a will to survive Take back your mind Lose your sense of time There's no direction to find

Red Sun 03:31
lyrics
buy track
Red sun in a setting sky I'll be out all night Stirring trouble getting high I know I'm alive White pills and a fancy name try to bring me down No one here understands my feet have left the ground And if you catch me falling Falling out of touch Don't take me from the ones who I love And I will hold my head up high High above the rest cuz all these setbacks are just a test new day on the horizon suddenly I see A change in atmosphere has led me to believe I don't ask too much from you maybe for the best Will you help me save the world I plan on nothing less And if you catch me falling Falling out of touch Don't take me from the ones who I love And I will hold my head up high High above the rest cuz all these setbacks are just a test None of you can understand the thoughts that race inside my head I don't expect you to see my view I only hope you will see this through 'cause none of you can understand the thoughts that race inside my head I don't expect you to see my view I only hope you will see this through And if you catch me falling Falling out of touch Don't take me from the ones who I love And I will hold my head up high High above the rest Cause all these setbacks are just a test

Motive 03:39
lyrics
buy track
I'm fucking up I'm taking the easy way out again and I'm unstable All out of luck I'm making a jump to the hard stuff and that's no fable What's your motive who's your lucky charm in white Are you moving or you standing still in fright? I'm letting go I'm falling to see if you'll catch me Or watch me drown I need to know Will you make a promise to love me If I come down What's your motive who's your lucky charm in white Are you moving or you standing still in fright? I don't mind the darkness If you can wait on me If I got what I'm using to let me know I'm free I don't mind the darkness If you can wait on me If I got what I'm using to let me know I'm free What's your motive who's your lucky charm in white Are you moving or you standing still in fright?

Lost in Confusion 03:46
lyrics
buy track
You say it's all an illusion baby You say it's all in my head You think I've been on the streets too long and it's a miracle that I'm not dead 'Cause I know where to run I know where to hide All my friends are rallied by my side Know where to run Know where to hide Some of them left onto the other side Lost in confusion head in the stars birds overhead carry heavy hearts lost in confusion head in the stars birds overhead carry purple hearts You say it's all an illusion baby I say it's all in your head I think you been on the streets too long and it's a miracle that you're not dead 'Cause you know where to run you know where to hide All your friends are rallied by your side Know where to run, know where to hide Some of them left onto the other side Lost in confusion head in the stars birds overhead carry heavy hearts lost in confusion head in the stars birds overhead carry purple hearts you're not special, you're not right but you sure have a point to prove wrapped up in a blanket of innocence as your fighting for youth Lost in confusion head in the stars birds overhead carry heavy hearts lost in confusion head in the stars birds overhead carry purple hearts

Never Give In 03:11
lyrics
buy track
Every place looks just the same as the last one I was visiting only thing that changes is the name I see different faces in similar clothes eating lunch at the same place across the globe and I can't help but think it's strange You want what you can't have but they've got an answer just take what you can grab never give in, never give in, never give You want what you can't have but they found a cure just take what you can't have never give in, never give in, never giiive Are you sick of the same food the same store and the same clothes I can't blame you this mainstream is swallowing the culture that defines us I don't wanna blend into this uniform of wage time we arm ourselves now with the process of change You want what you can't have but they've got an answer just take what you can grab never give in, never give in, never give You want what you can't have but they found a cure just take what you can't have never give in, never give in, never giiive

walls are caving in nowhere left to run guess I'm on my own waiting for the rising sun nights have been cold Days have been long I'll be on my way If you care to come along give you all I can tell you what I know Don't like what you hear well then you are free to go I am not alone memories help remind what I can't forget will wash away in time Time waits for no one it just moves on it's way I'm not sold on the afterlife so I'm living for today Time waits for no one it just moves on it's way I'm not sold on the afterlife so I'm living for today Nothing left to hide something more to say try to steal my pride well I'm not the kind to break Can't forget your words just before the grave whisper in my ear no one's destined to be saved we are what we make every day to be you can fade away or create a legacy we are all alone when we rest our head time will only tell what lies waiting up ahead Time waits for no one it just moves on it's way I'm not sold on the afterlife so I'm living for today Time waits for no one it just moves on it's way I'm not sold on the afterlife so I'm living for today

One more chance I'll make it clean I'll find beauty in a sight unseen All my friends they left me here I came back and lost my fear I don't owe you anything Please come back or I will sink Don't leave me Don't touch me Don't follow Don't rush me I need you If I fall I'll be there If you call, If you call If I tell you a secret promise me you will keep it animals can talk to me tell me what it is they see they can fee a change in mood summertime is overdue Won't be long before I go I just thought you all should know Don't leave me Don't touch me Don't follow Don't rush me I need you If I fall I'll be there If you call, If you call
