Fantasy (Live)

I've been watchin' you
I've been watchin' you and the way you move
You got me so out of tune
When I look at your face
All I can see is what's underneath
All I can hear is what's in your head
I'm sorry, your words, they might as well have not been said
I wanna respond to your words but they can't be heard
All I can hear is your thoughts
I go to open my mouth and all that ever seems to come out
Is the exact thing I meant not to say
Mmm but it came out anyway
Its just hard for me to see you
When you cover your soul with those designer clothes
You paint your face to erase the mistakes
Don't you know
These flaws, these flaws, these flaws
They're supposed to be there, these flaws
Why should you, you you you
Why should you, you you you
You see these things when you look at me
You see these things that your brain wants to see
You see these things when you look at me
You see these things that your brain wants to see
Do you project your unfulfilled fantasy onto me
Am I really that far off from you and your desire
You see these things when you look at me
You see these things that your brain wants to see
You see these things when you look at me
You see these things that your brain wants to see
Do you project your unfulfilled fantasy onto me
Am I really that far off from you and your desire
Why should you, you, you, you
These flaws, they're supposed to be there, these flaws

Masochist (Live)
03:50
|
|||
|
There's blood stains on the sheets
There's blood stains on the walls
Stains of the blood from your eternally bruised hearts
Eternally meshed and eternally pledged
If you compared the two, you would find the prints left behind
From the touch of the other lover
On her knees, she longs for thee
As the day stretches on, to eternity
When finally, she comes for thee
But apparently it was not enough
Straight to sleep, straight to sleep
Masochistically, she's wallowing in the blood stains on the sheets
I can feel you breathing
I can feel you sigh
I can hear you crying inside
Your heart cries out to mine
And the blood stains on the sheets will never fade
And the pain on the pages can't be unwritten
And our hearts cry out tonight
There's blood stains on the sheets
Blood stains on the walls
Stains of the blood from your eternally bruised hearts
Eternally meshed and eternally pledged
If you compared the two, you would find the prints left behind
From the touch of the other lover

Manic Depression
02:19
|
|||
|
Seductively complicated
Distillation of nature and danger
Beholden to my mind and the moods
Inclined to the darker side
When I'm frightened and enlightened
It's an intoxicating state, in the mania
Its all so clear, in the mania
This is where it all makes sense
Enchanted by the laws of the world
I can do anything
I can do anything
The candle burned out
My mind turned around, on me
Mocking my authenticity
It flies high but it inevitably sinks
To the depths of the darkest caves of my soul
This world is able to bring me joy
But the soul remains to be bound to the shift
And the energies seducing me
Thoughts spill onto the page
As night will always follow the day
Waves crash, clouds turn to grey
Land before we blast off
Keep that in mind when you lick the paper off the drop
Life brings death, death brings life
The phoenix will rise, the phoenix will rise
From the ashes, ashes left
Ashes, ashes left behind
Now suddenly it all makes sense, I'm in the mania
The shyness goes and the right words flow, I'm in the mania

Only Eye (Live)
05:02
|

|
That blue shinin' light in your eyes
Its got me so far, far into
That blue shinin' light in your eyes
Its got me so far, far into time
I've been following this winding road
To where I'm destined, no one knows
Only I, only I can see where it goes
Cause when you fall to the ground
Everything is gone, now
Lost, never to be found
All I am, all I am is gone, now
But here's what we know
We've got these hearts and these souls
They keep us together in the darkest of times
Here's what we know
We've got our hearts and our souls
Shinin' the light, in the darkest of times
So come, with me
Let's come together, come together
Let's keep following this winding road
To where its destined, only you know
Only you, only you can see where it goes, this long and winding

Perspective
03:15
|
|||
|
Those who search for love don't find
Those who fear the death don't live
Those who don't cry don't smile
Those who watch the clock waste time
It blows my mind the way we live today
It blows my mind
Let's go back in time
To when we could walk outside
And hear the sound of kids in bliss
Intertwine with the songs
Songs of the birds, of the birds
The birds
We went downtown
We went down and around
We took a stroll into the forest, right where we belong
We went downtown
We went down and around
We took a piece of the forest
Now we are one with the forest
The forest kept me breathing
Kept me feeling
Kept me seeing clear
The forest kept me near
To the core of everything real, is it real
Hallucinogenic, hallucinogenic, go with it, go with it
Go with the perspective in the moment
Be open, to the lessons to be learned
Are you open, to the questions to be heard
Its absurd, the way we can forget what we have
Have you heard of the people under oppression going mad
You're not the only one that's important
It's important to remember the others in the world
There's others in the world, you're not the only one
"If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it.
Anything you want to, do it.
Want to change the world, there's nothing to it".

I can't sleep, I can't sleep
The reasons, the reasons for all this distress
What are the reasons for these moments of unrest
Gotta use this channel of energy to strain my brain, strain the brain
Allow myself to think the thoughts, allow myself
Gotta use this channel of energy to strain your brain, strain the brain
Allow yourself to think the thoughts, allow yourself
I'm just so tired of thinking
I'm sinking deeper and deeper into this mm mmm
Trapped in my own mind
Spending my damn time depressed
Sweet sweet leaves coming over me
Sweet sweet leaves coming over me
Finally I got some relief, I can sleep
Finally I caught that release, I can sleep
No longer depressed, I've forgotten the stress
I am blessed
No longer depressed, I am fully expressed
I am blessed

Aural Remedy

All you gotta do is turn the other way
Now you got the sound so just turn away
All you gotta do is push it all away
All we're gonna do is let the music play
I know you wanna feel me
I know you wanna feel me
Do you love me
This is a love song
For the sounds that come from all around
Push away the bottles
Bottles & bottles of pills & alcohol -ism isn't wrong
Its so normal to sip through the days and nights and keep in line
But that's not right, in my mind
But my mind is only mine
Show me how, how you wanna feel
How you're gonna figure it out, this time around
Take me away, darling
I'll be just fine with you by my side, darling
Give it to me please, give it to me
Your energy, I need your energy
All this negatively, its killin' my energy, killin' my energy
All I want is you
All I need, darling
The way you sweep me off my feet and take my breathe away
The moment you touch me, I get that feeling of relief and peace
One with the world
I'll turn the other way
I got the sound, I'll turn away
All I need to do, let the music play
I want to feel you, I wanna feel you

Pick Your Poison
03:51

Take a look in the mirror
Can you see clearer
Your sight fades
With every step you take, nearer
I can’t watch you leave
I can’t watch you bleed
But I have to say what’s on my mind
Why don’t you lose yourself, just lose yourself
In your sea of all your emotions and all it’s commotion
Why don’t you do it already
Drink your fuckin potion
Why don’t you do it already
Drink your fuckin potion
I know that I have let you down
And right now you’d like to drown
I know that you’re sinking in what you’re thinkin
You don’t have to make one single sound
I can’t watch you leave
I can’t watch you bleed

Trippin'

Take my hand and walk with me
Do what you can to breathe
Look at me, what do you see
If its me, if you can see me and feel me, won't you
If its me, if you can feel me, won't you kiss me
I can feel the trace of your lips on her skin
I can feel your tongue on her tongue
And when we make love, every time is the first
And it hurts to have to give you these words
Still, please take my hand and walk with me
Do what you can to breathe
Look at me, what do you see
If its me, if you can feel me, won't you
If its me, if you can feel me, won't you kiss me
I sing this song because I want you
I want you to kiss me
