Figmentation 05:00
lyrics
Are you out there? Are you even real? Are you out there, out where? I don't even think your real Can you hear me? Or what is your deal? Can you hear me, hear you? Tell me what the hell is your deal I want to see you in that light again Where everything you did was out of sight but then I realized you're just a figmentation of my imagination Can you see me? I'm up on the hill Can you see me, see you? I don't even want to Can you feel me? You know I'm standing still Can you feel me, feel you? I couldn't if I wanted to try I want to see you in that light again Where everything you did was out of sight but then I realized you're just a figmentation of my imagination

Our World 03:52
lyrics
I don’t really know if they can hear me While I’m saying it everyday Now we’re doing this again But it seems that they’ve already gone away The world is clearly crashing and burning But they get paid anyway There’s kids marching round all the corners But the suits can’t find a way But we’re young now And we’re digging in This is our world They’re still living in So let’s sing it again now baby Yeah let’s sing it again now baby We’ve got these CEOs Only thinking 'bout the Money inside the trees 45 is sitting there on his golden ass And that’s all plain to see They’ve got cash at stake So why would they care about dying bees Fake scientists are shouting all the time But they don’t really believe But we’re young now, and we’re doing it This is our world, they’re still running it So sing again now baby Scream it again now baby They’re shelling out our cash for the oil But we’re still not asking why Meanwhile we’ve got kids in our cities Who are left alone to die There’s all these billionaires out there Afraid to let their money fly And when you turn on a TV All you see is some fat old orange guy We got glaciers Wait never mind We got coastlines Wait never mind So scream it again now baby Scream it again now baby Scream it again now baby Scream it again now baby

The River 05:07
lyrics
The river couldn't decide Which way to go Which way to flow Results of the lightning were shown From the fire And the birds have flown Water loves us the most Because it can Someday you'll understand The tree couldn't decide Which height to reach Learn to teach The future couldn't decide Which bridge to burn Teach to learn Water loves us the most Because it can Someday you'll understand

Hesitate 04:06
lyrics
Just wait just wait I don't wanna hesitate It doesn't have to be right now Hold on hold on Been on this path too long And I never wanna see you go You know you know I'm not a jealous guy I never wanna see you cry Slow up slow up What are you running from It's not something to ignore Oh my girl I've been waiting for you All night long I've been trying to call you Oh but the phone isn't working for me So I'll keep trying girl I've gotta reach you Just wait just wait Oh you fascinate me Every time you walk into a room Slow up slow up Turn the lights down low Let's find a common ground Get back to the start We were still in school I was running in circles In love with some fool Took me some time to see the light of day You know I couldn't understand how to play this game And then you waltzed into my life I knew from the first glance that I'd make you my wife And the nights on the town we'd dance all night Where did those times go? Now all we do is fight So let's go let's go let's head out the door I think you need a little time away Get up get up and wipe away that pout You know I only wanna hear you say Oh my girl I've been waiting for you All night long I've been trying to call you Oh but the phone isn't working for me So I'll keep trying girl I've gotta reach you Just wait just wait I don't wanna hesitate Every time you walk into a room Slow up slow up Stop running baby I can't bare to see you go You know you know Oh you fascinate me Every time you walk on by Hold on hold on Turn the lights down low Let's find a common ground Oh my girl I've been waiting for you All night long I've been trying to call you Oh but the phone isn't working for me So I'll keep trying girl I've gotta reach you

Cymothoa 04:17
lyrics
Prim and proper in your little parade Little did you know you've already got it made Gold and copper in the shade With the dropper best plans laid Ripped it out and I became your tongue Singing what's already sung As if you can do no wrong Oh girl you just got paid Suddenly calm but it's all a charade Never stop the cards are played Seeking a cure when you should have stayed Chewed it out and I became your voice Leaving little other choice Little time to rejoice Facing duality might be afraid Foundation lining constantly frayed Thanks for the patience and sacrifice made Change is constant the past will fade Gouged it out and I became your soul Please return what you stole Then relinquish all control

Heist 06:56
lyrics
Two minutes in Then two minutes out Gotta be prepared In case things go south Packed up the shotgun Gassed up the car Talked to the driver Said that he wasn't far Pulled in the back Put on the mask Sipped on my whiskey With the gun in my lap Said a prayer Because we knew the risk But the risk wasn't shit Cause we were gonna be rich Never thought that I'd be here In the back of this car 'Bout to be a millionaire Or acquainted with some bars But I gotta take a chance And I can't think twice Two minutes left Then the rest of my life Started the clock It was time for the show The tellers they were smiling But they didn't know That this was a hold up This was a heist This was the first day Of the rest of my life Walked out that old stone building Stinking of green Felt like I was high In a dream of a dream Reality had melted I found myself rich Never thought I'd be a happy lucky Son of a bitch Never thought that I'd be here In the back of this car 'Bout to be a millionaire Or acquainted with some bars But I gotta take a chance And I can't think twice Two minutes left Then the rest of my life

Complicated Miracle 07:26
lyrics
Is it absolute certainty or divine mystery? Is it absolute certainty or divine mystery? Is it absolute certainty or divine mystery? Is it absolute certainty or divine mystery? Intervention of the divine sure takes a long time Intervention of the divine sure takes a long time Intervention of the divine sure takes a long time Intervention of the divine sure takes a long time You and me We all have a similar speed Then we'll see How we treat all of those in need What we need is a complicated miracle Something sacred for the people What we need is a song that is lyrical To sing together for the people Fight or flee It all depends on our history Break or bending Shaping our reality What we need is less hypercritical Something visible for the people What we need is to live more minimal Something spiritual for the people Is it absolute certainty or divine mystery? Is it absolute certainty or divine mystery? Is it absolute certainty or divine mystery? Is it absolute certainty or divine mystery? Intervention of the divine sure takes a long time Intervention of the divine sure takes a long time Intervention of the divine sure takes a long time Intervention of the divine sure takes a long time Strange dichotomy Let's not take things to seriously Singularity Music lives in me eternally This might sound stereotypical All mistakes are forgivable What we need is to be less analytical A different sequel for the people

Down the Road 04:26
lyrics
When you're down and feeling low You just don't know which way to go Let me in, don't shut me out Cause love is something that no one should go without And I will try to dry your eyes I'll take you down the road back home Cause in the night, it'll feel alright You'll be by my side where you belong I've seen many things pass me by Girl of my dreams leaving me for other guys Now it's you, you're the one And we've only just begun So I will try to dry your eyes I'll take you down the road back home Cause in the night, it'll feel alright You'll be by my side where you belong Oh I see in your eyes You're too afraid to show you love me Oh it took me by surprise That a man could hurt something so sweet And I will try to dry your eyes I'll take you down the road back home Cause in the night, it'll feel alright You'll be by my side where you belong

Smidgen 03:34
lyrics
A dollop, a drop, a wee little bit It's all we're asking for, that's it A dollop, a drop, a wee little bit It's all we're asking for, that's it A dollop, a drop, a wee little bit It's all we're asking for, that's it A dollop, a drop, a wee little bit It's all we're asking for, that's it Sidewalk ends right across the street From my house and I think ain't that sweet The lack of completion helps me rest my head I keep an unfinished puzzle beneath my bed Just a drop You know this shit will never stop Just a drop Dollopy dop Just a bit I know you might not give a shit Just a bit Wee little bit Just a dash Maybe to avoid a crash Just a dash Dashedy dash Just a pinch You know that it won't be a cinch Just a pinch Cinchedy cinch The work is our's and our's alone Even if you claim that there is no one home Tilt on your axis just the tiniest amount Every percentage will surely count Just a drop You know this shit will never stop Just a drop Dollopy dop Just a bit I know you might not give a shit Just a bit Wee little bit Just a pluck I know you might not give a fuck Just a pluck You're down on your luck Just a smidge The answers just beyond that bridge Just a smidge Here comes the bridge We'll make some decisions Without knowing the result Gestalt A dollop, a drop, a wee little bit It's all we're asking for, that's it A dollop, a drop, a wee little bit It's all we're asking for, that's it A dollop, a drop, a wee little bit It's all we're asking for, that's it A dollop, a drop, a wee little bit It's all we're asking for, that's it Just a drop You know this shit will never stop Just a drop Dollopy dop

lyrics
The billionaire With the vacant stare He spews his lies But the base don't care Living fast and thinking slow We still haven't seen how low he'll go He's so small He's so small He's the smallest man to live The egotist Who failed to enlist Spends his nights Alone and unmissed Walking tall and talking loud You know he makes America proud He's so small He's so small He's the smallest man to live Forty-five, don't deny That you just don't care No you just don't care About us Best beware, of the man Who just won't stand Know he just won't stand For you When the man must face the facts He'll proudly preach he's the one they chose He's as worthless as his dirty cash He's just a wolf who wears sheep's clothes Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh The homophobe Who fears the probe Manipulates The xenophobes Living fast and thinking slow Still haven't seen how far he'll go He's so small He's so small He's the smallest man to live

WWYDWI 07:43
lyrics
I'll be calm and happy I'll be calm and happy Not for you for me I'll be calm and happy I'll be calm and happy Just you wait and see What would you do with it? What would you do with it? What would you do with it? What would you do with it? What would you do with it? What would you do with it? What would you do with it? What would you do with it? You know We are grown Then we'll see I'll be calm and happy I'll be calm and happy Not for you for me I'll be calm and happy I'll be calm and happy Just you wait and see You know We are grown Then we'll see I'll be calm and happy I'll be calm and happy Not for you for me I'll be calm and happy I'll be calm and happy Just you wait and see
