Lyrics:

Opener : you told me. don't you look at the sun. it burns your eyes out. i disobeyed and seen the man. who's going nowhere. convince me this. you don't got to worry. you're on your feet. please help me down. i brain stormed and caught up with my friend. he's doing fine now. it's been uplifting. knowing you are. how sad. it's so sad. i beg him this. may he mind not worry. to break this chord of a paranoia. and there's no anecdote for a petty love. i think you found the lighter side. of our friendly hope. i don't mean to poke. we can face obvious nonsense Sunday Brown & Green: if faith is blind. then what does vision find. and where will it lead me to this time. stop or start. can i bear to one day buy. sight unseen. when i fall. you let me slip away. farther. when i fall. you're all i see. with insides dead. defeated by thoughts in my head. and what will be my choice this time. head or heart. will it wear my sunday brown and green. where to place the blame. my own self. where to hang the blame. my own self The Last In 4000: (instrumental) Stupid Maybe Still: we stand circled around. facing each other. day after day. it seems so tedious to me. stupid maybe. still. green walls painted black to cover up the envy. could it be more shallow. lights overhead. we were so strung out. stupid maybe. still redefined. crossed over lines. what's your answer Zone: up in the sky that's where i'm from. up in the sky. cold and stone pass me by. we make mistakes. God knows i tried. i'm weary. i've given blood. don't let it. stain. i'm weary. you had to come Ordinary Life: she's always restless. she's over medicated. and a kind of motion. that feels out of place. never give your opinion. cause they've got all the answers. follow the leader. and remember where you've been. so don't leave. it's not me you know. can't control. what goes through my mind. so stay. please understand. i don't mean. all i say tonight. haven't slept for days. and my words don't seem to come out right. it's just a phase. that you're gonna grow out of when you die. and it's all right. you know everything is going to be just fine. is it too much to ask for. some kind of ordinary life. two weeks clean. a vague reality. from a life time clouded. lost details of your dreams. the will to eat. fills your need to sleep. of things you never think of. till they're always on your mind. is it too much to ask. for some kind of ordinary life Beginner Swimmer: a beginner swimmer. you throw me in the water. let my body kick and hover. in soaking silence. i can hold my breath. will this be my last one. arms raised up to a distorted setting sun. try to pull the light down. from the sky. and hold it close to keep me warm. under soaking silence. i can hear them yell. perfect form. for a beginner swimmer Hialeah: your face. fading silver. waiting. lonelier. losing ground. falling deeper. my impression of a promise. whispers to a loathing heart. miracles of misery. there wasn't time. fade in. a well meant lie. no faith. you're failing me. waiting. i am consumed. losing hope. the hours run down and down. leaving dry and worn. whispers to a loathing heart. miracles of misery. there wasn't time. fade in. a well meant lie. misfortune. it whispers I Want To Know: i want to know about it all. and everything it might involve. with the girlfriends. superstars. contracts. tarot cards. cause i want to know. what the future holds. won't you let me know. cause i got to know. and just let me know. cause i want to know. i want to know what the teachers know. i want to hold what the future holds. i want to dream what the dreamers dream. and then scream about everything. cause i want to know. what the future holds. won't you let me know. cause i got to know. cause i got to know. cause i want to know. but won't you let me know now. i want to know about it all. and everything it might involve. with the bar scenes. mishaps. boy scouts. and hand claps. i want to go where the heroes go. just take a look inside my soul. and let me know if it's already been sold. won't you let me know now. i want to go where the heroes go. i want to know what the teachers know. and i want you just to tell me. if this is really how it's gonna be Turn It On: lust for life is gone. a wayside tragic pawn. a conscience that won't break. philosophy can't stay. demented soul. an act so droll. i have to turn away. i think back to the time. when life was so sublime. it's on. it's on. i'll have to turn it on. goby rest in peace. in death you say the least. take me back in time. when fate was much more kind. i'll just hide my lying eyes. and pretend to be divine Kings Do Not Have Watches: i know the sounds. but maybe i don't know how. to listen to the words that i hear so loud. the feeling's lost. i know that i don't belong. the more i'm lost. the more i know i'm wrong. and how can i being to tell you. when i can't find the words that i want to say. they hide inside my fears that i've yet to face. this sky that wont fall. all the nights i lie awake and i wonder. why these words all sound like one. there's no face. just a voice. and a feeling i just can't find. i don't know if i can face the crowd. if there's nothing inside me now. i don't know how i will face you now. if there's nothing left to see. all the time this nervous and unseen me. sees you. but it takes so much to be. the one you want. to see when i look into. your eyes and see no one. and how can i being to tell you. when i can't show you what i want to say. i hide inside the fears i've yet to face. this sky that wont fall. when you can no longer stand to look me in the eyes. that's when you'll know i'm gone Friend X: you can say what you want to say. people will talk anyway. i will give you a head start. let you take the easy part. making others laugh at my expense. i'm sure you've had experience. still i have to say that was so mean. and why you have to be so mean. so mean. you can't break what's left. of my confidence. it's already shattered. while what's left of my pride. is already scattered. you won't find me fishing for compliments. but now i'm scared what to expect. now i know. what you are. empty and shallow. ugly inside. clear it up now there's nothing to hide from me. for no reason at all. you turned your back. walked away. disclaimed me. guess you'll go on being yourself. nothing that time or aging will help. i just want you to know. that you really hurt me. never knew you'd be so quick. to desert me.
