Old Friend 03:29
lyrics
Less like adios More like... More like aloha Saying two things at once Goodbye Goodbye and hola I may miss you to death but I never get a phone call To be fair, in the same breath I've become anti-social And it goes and it goes again Yeah, it goes and it goes again Then three years down the road, Old Friend We'll stop and say "Hi" at the supermarket And there's so much left to say Since the last time I saw you I'm too tired to talk anyway Let's just catch up soon Let's just catch up soon Less like adios (Less like) More like... More like aloha Saying two things at once Goodbye Goodbye and hola I may miss you to death but I never get a phone call To be fair, in the same breath I've become anti-social And it goes and it goes again Yeah, it goes and it goes again Then three years down the road, Old Friend We'll stop and say "Hi" at the supermarket And there's so much left to say Since the last time I saw you I'm too tired to talk anyway Let's just catch up soon And there's so much left to say Since the last time I saw you I'm too tired to talk anyway Let's just catch up soon And there's so much left to say (Less like adios) (More like) Since the last time I saw you (More like aloha) I'm too tired to talk anyway (Saying too things at once) (Catch up soon) Let's just catch up soon (Goodbye and hola)

Kill Your Idols 02:32
lyrics
"Let the lord in" Said the bishop to the nun Abortion is a sin Well, here's my loaded gun If everyone's concerned for the sheep Who's watching out for the wolves? Inherit the earth Blessed are the meek When they get their ashtray world Hahaha Kill your idols Yeah, kill your idols Tribulations and trials Kill your idols Yeah, kill your idols Tribulations and trials And we're told to look 'em in the eyes So we sold our thrones to the sky I don't believe anybody is free Unless they got the guts to pull the trigger for it So go ahead, put a gun to my head And make a martyr out of me I can see you seeing red, yeah Then she asked me "Why are you like this?" Like I'd be the one to know Believe me, I'm the epitome of a near miss Misery No self control First there were ten Now there are none Extortion on the brain Of the politician We've all been warned by the people The ones who bought falsehoods A karat of dirt For your soul to keep At least 'til it all unfurls Kill your idols Yeah, kill your idols Tribulations and trials And we're told to look 'em in the eyes As we sold our thrones to the sky I don't believe anybody is free Unless they got the guts to pull the trigger for it So go ahead, put a gun to my head Make a martyr out of me I can see you seeing red, yeah Then she asked me "Why are you like this?" Like I'd be the one to know Believe me I'm the epitome of a near miss Misery No self control

Paradise 03:38
lyrics
You are the only one who Could convince me That living forever Could be a good thing Let's go where palm trees grow And the sun's shining Happiness is fleeting But I can't shake this feeling When I'm with you Let's run away and find paradise Come with me tonight Let's run away I know a place in between the ocean and the bay It's just a plane ride away Hop in when you want and we'll go Take us to the rock 'n roll show And we'll never come back around here No, we'll never come back around here No, you'll never come back around here No, I'll never come back around here We've got too many places to go my dear Oh my god How you look in that red dress Is a bomb gone off, an explosion And I'm helpless You are what I've been looking for All along We know what we want And we both found it So we'd better run like Hell Let's run away and find paradise Come with me tonight Let's run away I know a place in between the ocean and the bay It's just a plane ride away Hop in when you want and we'll go Take us to the rock 'n roll show And we'll never come back around here No, we'll never come back around here No, we'll never come back around here No, you'll never come back around here (Never come back) No, we'll never come back around here (Never come back) No, we'll never come back around here (Never come back) No, we'll never come back around here (Never come back) No, we'll never come back around here

Voodoo 03:44
lyrics
Met me in the hall Pins in a doll You had put a spell on me So out of touch As I feel the rush Amphetamine energy Drank from the vial Straight down the aisle Cleansed like a remedy Could it be you Or a reverie? People leave and don't say goodbye As long as it ain't you it'll be alright It'll be alright You don't find sunshine by throwing shade And in the darkness we'll play our games So we keep it fresh with every new day Still seeing double, cold blood in our veins And your drug is my fave Wouldn't have it any other way Inside me I've changed And that's the way I'd love to stay So tell me would you want to voodoo We don't have to wake up 'til noon So tell me would you want to voodoo We only play by our own rules Only some catch the vibe Knew it'd be you, it'll be alright It'll be alright You don't find sunshine by throwing shade And in the darkness we'll say her name So we keep it fresh with every new day Still seeing double, cold blood in our veins And your drug is my fave Wouldn't have it any other way Inside me I've changed And that's the way I'd love to stay So tell me would you want to voodoo We don't have to wake up 'til noon So tell me would you want to voodoo We only play by our own rules You had put a spell on me Maybe it's a remedy Picking up your energy Led me to my reverie So tell me would you want to voodoo We don't have to wake up 'til noon So tell me would you want to voodoo We only play by our own rules You had put a spell on me Maybe it's a remedy Picking up your energy Led me to my reverie

Two Sides 04:35
lyrics
There's a man in his car next to me Getting mad, thinks I cut him off On the other side is a girl looking good I think I just got lost Lookin' out this window At long road ahead I know I can live my life slow And not let this shit get me low But in the case of the girl And in the case of the guy I can see there are always two sides What do I even deserve? How I can never decide When I can see there are always two sides So here I go again Oh, so desperately While my soul ascends into all I need Tell my mom and friends That I had to leave I'll be back again when my soul's empty I've been caught up in the middle of two sides Thought I had it all figured out (Figured out) Stories told along the way Should I trust them all now Or do I doubt? (Do I doubt) Lookin' out this window I can see my life now unfold Would anyone come look for Me if I don't come back home? So here I go again Oh, so desperately While my soul ascends into all I need Tell my mom and friends That I had to leave I'll be back again when my soul's empty So here I go again (Oh oh) Oh, so desperately While my soul ascends into all I need (Oh oh) Tell my mom and friends (Oh oh) That I had to leave I'll be back again when my soul's empty (Oh oh) Hear me now All aloud Hear me now Or are you all now too proud? Hear me now All aloud Hear me now Or are you all now too proud? Hear me now All aloud Hear me now Or are you all now too proud? Hear me now All aloud Hear me now Or are you all now too proud?

Big Plans 04:36
lyrics
Gypsies on the run From the land of trees Leaves Begging for more imagery Narcissism on the rise Filler of the hive mind Wishing for variety Had all the fun Now you see you're free Please Chains for all that be Heart beats to the drum Close to the sun Stunned Fell back to the sea Too little too late You couldn't escape It got to your head So you think you had So you think you had So you think you had Pretty big plans Pretty big plans Now you got it bad Now you got it bad Now you got it bad You had it in your hands No question the cause Seek what you sought Nah You were a prodigy All the flashing lights Triggered the fight or flight From a harsh reality Too little too late You couldn't escape It got to your head So you think you had So you think you had So you think you had Pretty big plans Pretty big plans Now you got it bad Now you got it bad Now you got it bad You had it in your hands So you think you had So you think you had So you think you had Pretty big plans Pretty big plans Now you got it bad Now you got it bad Now you got it bad You had it in your hands

Down 03:28
lyrics
I've been waiting so damn long For you to come along and Bring me down Should've knew it all along The way you came upon me And tore me down And I never said I didn't miss you But damn I hate you As you tore me down And I never said I didn't miss you But damn I hate you As you tore me down All that you project upon Has all come and gone Yet still brings me down Play me like you do your pawns But you're no Queen at all, no Your time's run out And I never said I didn't miss you But damn I hate you As you tore me down And I never said I didn't miss you But damn I hate you As you tore me down Tore me down Tore me down

Ain't Lost Yet 03:09
lyrics
There's a fork in the road And you know that you'll cross it Don't know which way to go But you you know you ain't lost yet Maybe I know how it feels No guiding light for progress Pushing you towards the groove You know the vibe ain't lost yet You remember the days When the path seemed much clearer Reflect on your ways with a fog on the mirror Maybe I know how it feels No guiding light for progress Pushing you towards the groove You know the vibe ain't lost yet We ain't lost yet You're breaking a branch For every step that you wander But you know You can't turn back any longer Maybe I know how it feels No guiding light for progress Pushing you towards the groove You know the vibe ain't lost yet We ain't lost yet

lyrics
Hold me to All that I do Drain it right out Drain it right out Hold me to All that I do Drain it right out Drain it right out Well, fault me for saying what I think but Don't be so menacing at your own fate But the more that I try to further ask why You just sat their and ate your own cake You see me here Coming in, coming out On time But there's never talk about Moving up Up, up, up, up and away Never to be heard from or seen Did I mention heard from again Oh yeah, it kills me Bewilders me You treat us like we're children Let me do myself a favor And just get out of this place Kills me Bewilders me You treat us like we're children Let me do myself a favor And just get out of this place Hold me to All that I do Drain it right out Drain it right out Hold me to All that I do Drain it right out Drain it right out Well, fault me for saying what I think but Don't be so menacing at your own fate But the more that I try to further ask why You just sat their and ate your own cake You see me here Coming in, coming out On time But there's never talk about Moving up Up, up, up, up and away Never to be heard from or seen Did I mention heard from again Oh yeah, it kills me Bewilders me You treat us like we're children Let me do myself a favor And just get out of this place Kills me Bewilders me You treat us like we're children Let me do myself a favor And just get out of this place Hold me to All that I do Drain it right out Drain it right out Hold me to All that I do Drain it right out Drain it right out Well, fault me for saying what I think but Don't be so menacing at your own fate But the more that I try to further ask why You just sat their and ate your own cake

First Time Caller, Long Time Listener 03:53
lyrics
We're living on the edge a little bit Pushing past the guards and the elephant Love can be a poison or an antidote Depending on your mood and last anecdote Quiet quiet quiet Now loudly Quiet quiet quiet Now loudly Riot riot riot Around me Riot riot riot Surround me Had another story for the collection The last thing that we need is more introspection We're living in the now for the experience Before we're wondering where it all went Quiet quiet quiet Now loudly Quiet quiet quiet Now loudly Riot riot riot Around me Riot riot riot Surround me Quiet quiet quiet Now loudly Riot Bright lights surround me Riot riot riot Surround me Riot Bright lights surround me Riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot Riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot, riot

Violets 05:45
lyrics
Lately I haven't noticed when it's dark out We've been shrouded by a dark cloud And I'm feeling a flood Maybe I need to get back to my baby I need a hug from my old lady Someone to love We've got the kindling But no flint to spark it Still held by the guys who Crashed the housing market We call it how we see it We break the circle Roses are red and Violets are purple You can throw obstacles Any hurdle we jump over Nothing matters to us except each other We call it how we see it We break the circle Roses are red and violets… Right now, I feel like it's do or die Now or never, me oh my The end of what? I know it's my own fucking problem Don't want you to get involved in Unless it's what you want When you were my age You had to walk uphill to school both ways But now things aren't at all the same They're bringing guns in and shooting up the place We've got the kindling But no flint to spark it Still held by the guys who Crashed the housing market We call it how we see it We break the circle Roses are red and Violets are purple You can throw obstacles Any hurdle we jump over Nothing matters to us except each other We call it how we see it We break the circle Roses are red and violets…

Casa Amor 02:28
lyrics
Saw this one girl put a cat A cat amongst the pigeons Looked her in the eye, dead in the eye Right before she lipped him It's a mad house with the money on the line Can't be an "us" if we're both thinking "I" Casa amor, casa amor, casa amor, casa amor You're the reason that I Got this heavy grin Lookin' at you should be a sin And I'm a sinner I could never figure out If I care too much Or just not enough Now I know You're the love of my life and I like it Treats with the right tricks Feel like an upper 90 bike kick Kids with the right chick Been sayin' this shit from the beginnin' How we holdin' back and we can't stop winnin'? Casa amor, casa amor, casa amor, casa amor You're the reason that I Got this heavy grin Lookin' that good should be a sin And I'm a sinner I could never figure out If I care too much Or just not enough Now I know

All at Stake 04:01
lyrics
I watched it as it All fell down I watched it as it Crumbled to the ground Don't let me see that Smile on your face Blind to what's all at stake Never gonna stop Just go No fighting anymore Never gonna stop Just go No fighting anymore And as the dust sets we all We all saw clear Should we all go now or just Just stay here Never gonna stop Just go No fighting anymore Never gonna stop Just go No fighting anymore They try to blind us White teeth smile Try to divide us With their political suicide Let me opine on This current state They seem to be the ones blind To what's all at stake Never gonna stop Just go No fighting anymore Never gonna stop Just go No fighting anymore Never gonna stop Just go No fighting anymore Never gonna stop Just go No fighting anymore
