hear me let me cry into your ears let me dissipate our fears it's not just you, me too hear me we all suffer alone there are reasons to be stoned it's too heavy alone so love the ones around you while you're here it's cold otherwise hey man, you're not helping anyone always hiding from the sun in your bedroom...get up you need redder blood pumping inside eat some veggies, take a ride on your new bike outside so love the world around you while you're here one day, you'll see no sky can you believe the way we project our minds into the living world?

think that we both agree I should leave but I freeze looking for something more I implore, not the door can't be sure of your words it's absurd but the bird in my heart isn't smart he just starts then departs so I pick up all these plumes in my room, and sing this tune guess that I was wrong oh now now I long for a new song I guess that we both are easy to please but that leaves room for war at the core getting bored oh my lord nothing's cured plus the words that you churned kinda burned there's an art to this part don't play darts with tender hearts now the afternoon just looms like a womb with too much room it's so long, I'm not that strong guess I'll stick with the same song

eyes of water gray and flowing watch the black car as he goes to his free life with her flowers she's a man's wife once a lover but not anymore wash the dirt off from your garden scratch the dead skin off your bones feel the warm glow of the red tracks scratched into your narrow back are you adored? not anymore strong hands for feeble plans under-nurtured love who will save her from her static life? maybe some wine or some time to forget

Ego Shreds 03:48
it's the stars, "don't let me hold you down, sweet ground" monday bars for tuesday's stockholm frown...I'd drown if you go don't you know it's all inside of your head hold me down, don't let me sun keeps setting over and over again wake up, friend, you're out of touch with the end remember you are gonna die and let that free you there's a war inside each and every head 'til death here's the part we let go go to bed...ego shreds when you go don't you know it's all inside of your head hold me down, don't let me sun keeps setting over and over again wake up, friend, you're out of touch with the end remember you are gonna die and let that free you

I am trying to hold on to the parts of my brain that look like a zoo the primate sex drive overcome by the mean old humans holding me down I'm a three-toed sloth that just wants a little bit of peace and quiet, is that so much to ask? There's a lion somewhere but he's just a famished little cub that's mocked and booed A killer whale successfully tamed and blamed for the little ones not having fun Perhaps the most interesting animal here is the human putting cages around everyone Don't blame me for the state I'm in it's a reaction to the world created by humans just looking for someone to fuck sorry you can't find one person to love you I am losing control of my brain when I smoke too much and obsessively complain about every animal wrong with me that was naturally there when I came into being It's okay to feel bat sometimes and sometimes I'll be happy as a clam But are they really that happy? flapping everyday in the six-inch water, nobody came to check out the clams, apparently they're the happiest ones, but how would I know? I'm the cages, somewhere, yellow pages, looking for a buddy to help me with this one Don't blame me for the state I'm in it's a reaction to the world created by humans just looking for someone to love sorry you can't find one one

The Ride 06:46
half the world is burning 'cause we only learned to fear that cadence that draws near if we only realized that "this is just a ride" we wouldn't have these sides these beliefs are antiquated tainted, and we bent to keep them relevant as the world keeps turning we stay static in our minds with our hands over our eyes one more time, let's realize our tunnel-visioned lives and the actions we're prescribed take it on yourself to rise above the burning skies and the airwaves you can buy
7.
finally, I can see the stars like you do the inner city outshines them back home who'd have thought we'd overpower our own universe? I could barely see a single blade of grass underneath that carpet of stone well, now I'm up here and it's quiet, and still I can see why you left home and would never return everyone's scared of this place I now dream I'll be there one day but for now, I'm just a visitor curious of where I'll be I'll see you when I'm done here I've no hurry, no fear (bullshit) but admittedly tears my friends are all leaving I won't see them 'round here
8.
Matthew 02:48
Matthew, I can see all the truth and vibrancy that can bless or torment you, you are not able to choose to be blind or realize the deceit before our eyes. You can see the ship is sinking but no one wants to know. Matthew, I just wanted to tell you I am fond of your soulful, tortured fingers that dance as if the singers in this insipid world had the power to absorb all the animosity, greed and death anxiety that the powerful rely on to survive, but we're alive.
9.
so, don't worry be happy, and love free yourself from all sorrow and shame open up your heart open your mind open your legs...baby walk with me you are one body one part of the whole others are 'me' to themselves, like you don't let fear in your heart open your eyes be satisfied you can be all you want if you believe set yourself free
