So Smart, So What?
03:58

we need something
something for everyone
I feel nothing
nothing for everyone
the pixel is fading
the man is erasing
my hands are draining
the band is playing
so what?
we're so smart, so what?
too much time with head in my hands
wake me up in time to leave the past
post the bombs and ease the blast
I can say what's on my mind
I can send it up and make a site
we're emptying the infinite paradigm
reach out and touch it,
reach out and feel it
feel the tear in the sky
reach out and touch it,
reach out and feel it
raise your hands cause it's all that is left...
we need something
something for everyone
I feel nothing
nothing for everyone
the pixel is fading
the man is erasing
my hands are draining
the band is playing
so what?
we're so smart, so what?

recently it occurs to me that we're not buying cover with our money
it's time to settle up, it's time to settle in
we're not building walls with our concrete
we're walking straight into the long night
dancing slow to the war drums
between the earth, the sky
the words and the missiles
an explosion is an explosion is an explosion
everybody loses it, the lose it, they lose it...
isn't it obvious that The Whole World Has No Clothes?
everybody knows...
isn't it obvious that The Whole World Has No Clothes?
everybody knows...

What You Wanted
03:52
|

most of us live under cover
most of the time we're cold
most of the lies are discovered
and most of the answers are old
we designed exactly our decline
its out of our hands
the closing of man
and you got, you got what you wanted...
we wait on the air to recover
holding our breath til the end
afraid to lock eyes with another
tying our hands to the bench
and we relied on only modern eyes
to feed every mouth and touch every heart
and you got, you got what you wanted....
everyone knows why you do it
and wonders if they could resist
we don't blame for being tempted
we blame you for blowing all of it
and you get, you get what is coming...

wherever i land is where you can pick
wherever i fall is where i reach out my hand
and its all by chance
there's too much time before the closing bell
there's too little time to sort out the stories we tell
stories we don't need to sell
all of the lies we settle for keep you warm
all o the lies we settle for never admit
i think this is all cause we want it
we fake the reasons to exists
the answers are resisted
and i don't want it to be forgotten
i want to bathe in the nonsense
all the evidence points to this
all of the lies we settle for keep you warm
all o the lies we settle for never admit

Little Boy / Fat Man
03:45
|

with us, I lost something
with you, you could have lost everything
and soon the atmosphere is burning
its the little boy and the fat man
in between the lines we're turning up
the situation's gotten fucked
i wonder where and don't turn up
and i hint at you what IU should push
it pushes back and leaves a burn
the energy of atom bombs unleashes devestating calm
the whole city's out of luck
little boy, fat man
little boy, fat man

Not Today

Hear the words as you read my lips
Repeat it back to me
I’m giving you the license to break my heart
Go away come back
I know you have to go
But I prefer to never know
Go away come back
I don’t want you to go… please, not today.
take the ball and I’ll show you the game
to play with somebody else
the seed is planted, no water is spared
you’re ready but I’m not prepared
go away come back
I’m telling you to go away
But obviously I’d rather you stay
Go away come back
I don’t want you to go
Please, not today
Go away, come back... not today

Patient / Healer

tonight's the night I break though
cause my head's smashed up against the ceiling
and my eyes are burned all the way to you
burrowed my way so you could let me in
so you would let me in
open up
says me, says you
don't take it personally take it home for food
and she distracts me while she saves me
and she puts the kettle on and calls me lazy
i will swallow up my tongue
i will act my own age
i will compromise my ideas to the tune of the new age
tonight's the night

there's something in the water and it shows
me, the understanding dupe
and the rest of us in rows
arrows bows bodies throes
there's a fight worth fighting
if you promise not to choke
some want romantic shores and bloody births
we built it, we didn't
they brought us worth
a people's ambition
and opposition are all..
sometime's the urge to survive is not the same as the want to stay alive
something's in the water and it shows
me the understanding dupe and the rest of us in rows
arrows bows bodies throes
is the fight worth fighting
if you empty out your purse?
sometimes the worst of the worst
seems like the only and first... it is.
its the stick in your spoke, its the laugh before the joke
its the enemy of progeny
its the progeny of tragedy
sometime's the urge to survive is not the same as the want to stay alive...
