Balance Paid 03:33
Day broke on the summit Like it'd done a million days before And so came the question Which came first The climber or the mountain o'er? Nothing more and nothing less Why we gotta push so hard? And so what about it? When you look at me What do you see? I'd be damn sure it's me you're seeing Not some other mask you paint on me Nothing more and nothing less Why you gotta push so hard? (chorus) While you're out running echelons I'll keep laying pylons down Find another war to wage But there must be a balance paid Racing for stop signs I fantasize about how you're going to meet your end Gasping on your deathbed Reaching out for nobody to hold your hand

Being in love with the idea Of being in love with you It’s just not enough when I start To get that sentimental feeling in my stomach Where I can’t hold you down and I think of all my used-to-bes How much better my life having known you Darling, I’m not talking smack Been through our share of hard times, I’ve had my own there once or two It’s funny how the ones you love the most S’the ones that hurt you the most too But ever since you’ve come around, I’m feeling lost where I was found You give me meaning and a way, It’s your call baby, go or stay And I’m not talking smack For anyone who ever dared to dream For anyone who ever made the scene It’s just not enough For anyone who ever had the heart For anyone who ever played a part It’s just not enough Being in love with the idea Of being in love with you It’s just not enough

While on the corner of Persephone & Main Street, A little pussycat went looking for her man For he had found her in her bed with Holly Jolly, He bid goodnight and off he ran The heart wants what the heart wants, it’s pointless to resist You can lie to yourself with your head but your heart will insist Swing from the tree of life or jump from the bridge Surely it’s those who don’t dare to try that end up in the fridge The heart wants what the heart wants, ask any cat I know You can cover it up with a smile but it’s only for show A brothel in Budapest, the toast of Bombay You can blame it on everyone but yourself but you’re still in the way Before you go out dancing on my grave Might I suggest you check the earth For my mortal remains The heart wants what the heart wants, it’s time you heed the call It seems silly to settle for some when you could have it all So cast off your water wings and jump in the fray Because the heart wants what the heart wants Anyways

The Weight 03:33
For just how long had I been wasting my life Popping Crystale down on Avenue A? We’d been lovers through tumultuous times But the hand had never fit right in mine. Don’t want more, I need all I don’t want more, I need all I don’t confuse the things that you make up With things that you could have been Your lies become their dreams And when we try to reconcile for silly things we say and do One voice that rises up and clear above the din “The work gets hard, the work gets done, To me there seems no other way” But the day’s gone past, and the damage done The end should justify the means Exactly how awake do you need to be? Be it meth, Taurine, cocaine of caffeine. They say persistence is the essence of time For half as long the candle burns twice as bright but My limits know no limits My limits know no limits Don’t confuse the things that you make up With things that you could have been Your lies become their dreams The weight of all came crashing in It’s buckling your knees Try as you may or might To catch a falling star You’ll find that gravity Lands you back where you are It’s just the weight

Green 03:33
I’ve seen the gaps between our generations grow Passed around the common grounds, Which most should surely know My people need reprieve from the ills and the rage of modern society, They can’t take it no more and all that they want and need, All now has gone to seed We pay handsomely for government to guide us, But the least among the fortuned have to pay Still this victim you portray, just a lie that distorts it all You’re only doing this to sway, your political platform We’re gonna say what we’re gonna say like it or not We’re gonna do what we’re gonna do, perish the thought Seems the best that we can do is The best we can for us and us alone Both hands rest permanently upon the number 4 Dispense formalities come glue me to the floor ‘Cause that’s all you wanted it to be. Do more than turn the other cheek Change starts with you instead of “c” Not white, not brown, just green Green, vanish into the smoke Unplug ourselves This ain’t a war, a lie, a paradise You ain’t the first, it isn’t yours Green, vanish into the smoke Unplug ourselves This ain’t a war, a lie, a paradigm You ain’t the first, it isn’t yours Green I got your green

180 Degrees 03:33
I thought that I was your only, and it wasn’t in vain When you went looking for comfort and I went looking for pain So now we’re playing with fire Ya, now we’re cooking with grease But from the moment you kissed me, I knew, there would be no release 180 degrees, the cold slap of my gun I wasn’t aiming to please But you were begging to come Why are you doing my head in? Keep j-j-jerking me off Why won’t you let me inside babe? Is it all just for naught? So now I’m making it good babe. Bet I’m ch-choking you out Behind each blissful expression, your man is seething with doubt 180 degrees, the cold slap of my gun I wasn’t aiming to please But you were begging to come

The Thing 00:33

I woke up at 29, Ink was drying on the page before And beneath the devil’s scribe Across the years and miles your voice came calling I gave up when I tired and all we’d said had been repeated Or so it seemed, for seven times But that don’t make us odds or evens, sugar. You’ve come a long, long way from left to right brain. A long, long way to fill the right frame. So level off, don’t run amok, you’ll hit the right plane. A long, long way to do the right thing…oh no As I swam into her eyes, choruses of fallen angels whispered, “Take root and make your home, give your love to all who need it”. So that’s what I get for taking the high road That’s what I get for passing the test. That’s what I get for being a better man. That’s what I get, a life truly blessed. Ya, that’s what you’ll get, You’ll get what you give ‘Cause that’s what I get, I get what I give You’ll only get what you give, When you give what you get

Circles 03:33
Euphoria, more than a rabbit to chase, plotted and schemed While my armies held at your castle walls, While they crumbled down around at our feet In proving that, pushing’s no good way to get, Silence might well serve me yet To follow, not lead although, blood still boils to let Such downcast funny things, leverage won’t be their mistake, No one will judge or forsake their morals, actions Or their acumen for faith Until the quiet space between, Finds you no longer at your end The tired old is washed anew, I’m pleased to meet you my old friend. Never give up on the things you throw away, Should they come back, bite you right in the ass, say You’ll dig your hole to find you haven’t your fill You’ll dig your hole to find you chasing it still You’ll dig your hole to find you top of the hill Chased my tail around in circles I’ve not had enough

Through heavy eyes, so often blind, So desperate to find the remnants of our best laid plans We while our cares away With the passing of a year, don’t look back Slither and sway amidst the puddles of the night, Race and evade against the dying of the light, In time, in time, in time All we are and all we’ll be is the sum of all our parts Where one and one and one make three, and I’m not adding it up It’s the passing of a year, don’t look back When your days come to pass, as do the means to your end It’s where your legacy fails, so now your legend begins Apathize the things they say and do that cut right to my core Now I feel numb, I can’t feel anything - the disconnect is thrown It’s the passing of a year, don’t look back Just the passing of a year, don’t look back So when satiety knows no resolve shall swoop down From the skies above, the mind conspires to plan Oh so gloriously, in this drawing of three I should get to be me Summer, in the absence of fall Merely charming us all Bear a scarlet letter

Unwound 03:33
I’ve been waiting a long time baby Just to see you come down ‘S been a long time coming baby See you slowly unwound Red light, green light Black and blue Break your shoe lace Come unglued Temper, temper What’s up jack? Broken fingers Heart attack Beast of burden Corporate whore Whip your high horse More, more, more Turn the screws And drive the nails Best laid plans Lead epic fails
