Spend all day creating scenarios in our head.
Wondering if we’ll stay clean and clothed and fed.
This shouldn't be in the land of the free.
We’re building walls between love and hate
But we're ending up on the wrong side of the gate.
All too depraved for the home of the Brave.
If there ever was a time
If there ever was a time where we should stick together
If there ever was a time the time is NOW.

Lesson Learned

If I were to tell you
That I knew a way
To Rid yourself of all the pain
Throw sorrow away
Would you take it without saying a word
Even though you can’t take it back?
Nobody promised you happiness
And you realize as it all fades to black
If I were to show you
The things you’d throw away
To rid yourself of all the pain
You’d destroy more than you’d create.

The Rabbit had breakfast with The Fox
They dined on bagels and lox
The Rabbit felt ill, so he took a pill
Then he threw up on Mr. Fox, poor Mr. Fox

The Mind I
05:38

I remember a time when I saw a man
Carefully writing something on his hand
I sat down beside him and I strained for a look
It read “If you remember you must write a book.”
I looked at his eyes, all I saw was straight black
I knew that it would be a while before he’d come back
I gathered my things, I had all my fun
I left the man to think about the book he’d write when he was done
Oh, the way it goes
Starts out slow and then overflows
The walls of the Mind, try to fix mankind
Trying to see properly all the things that everyone sees wrong.
It’s a beautiful thing, the feeling you get
Being straightforward without an ounce of regret
The Mind’s pacing faster than it ever will be
No need to stop it now because it’s finally free
Take hold of the thoughts more profound than the rest
Recalling all those in the end is the only real test
Be careful where you stray, don’t ruin all the fun
Or a lot will change about the book you’ll write when you are done
Oh, the way it goes
Starts out slow and then overflows
The walls of the Mind, try to fix mankind
Trying to see properly all the things that everyone sees wrong.
Sometimes it takes a turn all for the worse
You start to lose control and lose all your words
The walls close in and it seems you are stuck
Trying to speak all you utter is fuck
All alone you start to explore
Until it’s over you’ll have to endure.

Seize the Day
05:31

Woke up this morning and what did I see
Death and despair staring straight at me
The ground is cold and the sky is black
There’s no glimpse of normalcy coming back
Blood on the sidewalk and smog in the air
The fingers all point but the blames not shared
If they just did what we’re supposed to do
There’d be none of this craziness coming through
Stand up for your right to do wrong
But all night is wasted and gone
Seize the day (I’ll see you soon on the far side of the moon)
Seize the Day (Don’t run astray, just seize the day)
Yesterday was better and today is so bad
No one is trying this is so sad
People hate eachother and it’s a sin
The entrusted ones stand there with a grin
We’re shooting eachother like its not a crime
Everyone’s screaming for a reason why
But if they all walked in the other ones shoes
There’d be a lot less trouble coming down on you
Stand Up for your right to do right x2
Seize the day (I’ll see you soon on the far side of the moon)
Seize the Day (Don’t run astray, just seize the day) x2

Then What's The Use?
06:40

I can’t clearly see the things you do
That make me feel like you
And I won’t clearly listen to the things you say
That make me feel this way
I’ll avoid troubled eyes who can’t see through the lies
But never stray from that point of view
I’m caught in the cross-hairs of a meaningful stare
That’ll always have me so subdued
Considering the source of your remorse
You chose the right horse but went the wrong course
A feeling I feel most returns as a ghost
And greets its gentle host with a toast
When is the right time to commit this crime
And show me what it means to be mine
My intentions refuse to permit this abuse
If it doesn’t make a fool out of you then what’s the use?
