Orange cherries All that can be seen In the black of night Hey, do you have a light? Gasping for air Reaching for self isn't there Illumination cutting through What imagination couldn't prove Dense fog It's just smoke rolling off your tongue Regurgitated from your lungs Dense fog A self-imposed mental block Takes breath from your diaphragm Til you can't talk Burning paper trails Of what you were meant to be Resigned to grind A match struck to your ideal life Faint tears creasing eyes Smoke blown back in disguise Of addictions idolized Over a life you were meant to prize Dense fog It's just smoke rolling off your tongue Regurgitated from your lungs Dense fog- A self-imposed mental block Takes breath from your diaphragm Til you can't talk

Lost in Time 03:26
It's four o'clock in the morning And I don't have anything to do than this I watch the snow fall to the ground It's covering everything I see As the wind's hollering oh so fast And the house is creeping into the past Streetlights shine so awfully brightly And I don't know what to do cause I'm lost in time (Time) Without a place to go, I'm lost in time (Time) These days are routine, one job after the other And nights into life, one beat after the other And days into weeks, these weeks to years And is this all you really ever wanted, yeah You really ever wanted, yeah As the wind's hollering oh so fast And the house is creeping into the past Streetlights shine so awfully brightly And I don't know what to do cause I'm lost in time (Time) Without a place to go I'm lost in time (Time) I'm lost in time (Time) I'm lost in time (Time) I need a change but I can't have it It's the same ol' thing, I just put on a smile Need a change but I can't have it I'm going to be

Less Pauls 02:20
We need less (Les) Pauls and DS-1s Mass production of dramatic tongues Infatuation with the prize of past rebellion Distracting from emotions never felt, Played so loud the crowd can't start to think about The message you left out We need less Paulas and live, laugh, loves Mass production of cliched axioms Infatuation with the price of acclamation Distracting from affection you withheld, Displayed so loud your company can't think about The message you left out We need less (Les) Pauls and DS-1s Making noise where there should be sound

Regret 05:13
She started off as just a kid who felt far from home She never really bonded with who mattered the most She would lay in bed and her mind would wander in pain So concerned with what the future holds cause it doesn't seem too far from sight Couple years have passed now and nothing has changed It's been the same rules to follow and her heart in agony Cause people split apart and some people grow apart And too bad you're too young to notice it falling apart Eye of the needle Eye of the needle What type of world is she livin' in She's poisoned by right and wrong with decisions that are abstract She doesn't know which way to go Choosin' if it's the right choice or is it the devils lie One day her life took a turn for the worst She's thinkin' bout her past years and who loves her the most She's lost in thought but she's sure to get high That needle in her arm the last regret of her life Eye of the needle Eye of the needle

I talk to you like through a pane of glass My voice crackles, a bad receiver Pressed against your shoulder Did you expect to break the barrier Between your mind and us outside of it? Well I just don't believe there's time To learn how to make peace before we die But should you make your escape Buried under a mail pile Wherever you go you still carry with you The skin you love to retreat into Did you expect to break the barrier Between your mind and us outside of it? Well I just don't believe there's time To learn how to make peace before we die But a brain doctor has a stroke to feel better And sociopaths prefer their coffee tastes bitter But us addicts flail, lost, tripped out in a downpour Where only laughter exists All trauma cleansed in a cold shower Take better care of me Break character for you Break character for me Take better care of you But who draws first?

Fool 02:09
There she goes again taking my heart Leaves it here and leaves it broken apart It's the same ol' thing every time She's gone away but she's not too, she's not too Leads me on all the time And lets me know I'm not the guy It's the same ol' shit every time She's gone away but she's not too, she's not too Know I'm just a fool She'll be around soon Fall for that flirt once again She's gone away but she's not too, she's not too Same old story line every time Like in the awful chick flicks The difference between those and I The endings are never quite the same Know I'm just a fool She'll be around soon Fall for that flirt once again She's gone away but she's not too, she's not too

It's something you don't even notice until it's crept in Like the guy at the end of the bar just waitin' for a drink But it's way more harmful than that man ya see Cause being lost in thought agonizes me What imma talking about the normal person can't see It's the same ideas just on repeat It takes a lot and life drags on Just one of those things thats gonna torture me I really wish it was something you could see It's between my ears so secretively It makes me feel very incomplete It makes me not want to be me

Dusty 02:25
While you dust my cage off I sharpen my claws You’re negligent; I’m well aware I’m at the center of your circus You confuse love with captivity Power only exists as showmanship Let us run you through the rings; You try acting You confuse love with captivity The cage is shaking as I’m salivating Your heart is racing while I’m salivating The cage is shaking as I’m salivating Your heart is racing and I pounce

Take me where we drank back when To that back booth where we boorishly dreamt And scorned the rambling old patrons who warned Of death and disease just round the bend Follow me, we'll replace them, you know Time is running short, my friend In our harvest hours Cook the fat we've left our young Raised them to think like us Betraying fathers, daughters, and sons Steady, build this pyre Dress me in a tire necklace Pour some gasoline on it Spark a fire so I can dance Time is running short, my friend Churches, books, and movies They preached of self-sacrifice While we feasted steady With a self-serving appetite Fast once to appease our conscience Then we'd seize the night No use, your lecturing Or reflections on what has been I never desired to think Just chased the high of following threads Can we feel the same as then? In that back booth where we boorishly dreamt? We're scorned by loathsome young patrons We warn of disease and death just round the bend Come, last chance to drink it all in, you know Time is running short my friend Pour gas on us And strike a match Light us up so we can dance Time is running short my friend
