Jealousy... The mask you wear
To rise above, Your temperament
When you need to know what CHA need
No one would understand
When you Need to Know what cha need
Go ask the man (x3)
Heavy is, The Shield you bare
hiding from, The sufferin'
When you need to know what CHA need
No one would understand
When you Need to Know what cha need
Go ask the man (x3)
We're living a lie And we lost our way
Deep Inside somewhere
Beautiful skies and ugly days
Feelin' alone out there.
Jealousy... The mask you wear
To rise above
Go ask the man (x3)
We're living a lie And we lost our way
Deep Inside somewhere
Beautiful skies and ugly days
Feelin' alone out there
Living a lie Is all i have
There's Misery, In Hiding
pretendin'... Is Frightening
ENuff said
We're living a lie And we lost our way
Deep Inside somewhere
Beautiful skies and ugly days
Feelin' alone out there
Living a lie Is all i have

Blow The Whistle

everybody knows
Bravery comes and goes
talking 'bout the demons now
Talking courage.. Talking treason
sacrifice his life? cage for twenty-five
face is on the news today..
He's got more than time, He's got his reasons
You could let it go, You could let it blow (4x)
He's the one who knows, confidential glow
Kicking at a hornet's nest..
And they're buzzing.. buzzing for you
sacrifice your life, Hide for twenty-five
end up on the news someday
And the talking heads.. Are talking about you
You could let it go, you could let it blow
(Hey hey hey, Blow the whistle) (x4)
Legacy of security, Homeland vs the enemy
Legacy of security, Homeland vs the enemy
Security (versus) the enemy (versus)
Security (versus) the enemy (versus)
Security (versus) the enemy (versus)
Security (versus) the enemy
You could let it go, you could let it blow
(Hey hey hey, Blow the whistle) (4x)

Vision out of focus
High above the green
Vision out of focus
But I'm loving what I see
Can't remember walking
Or running through the fray
rushed toward the Legion
In time to see them blow their minds away
Away
Rising In the morning
Rustling through the trees
Avoiding realization
This time, it wasn't meant to be
To be
Vision out of focus
But, I'm loving what I see
Yeah
Do machines remember working?
Cutting through the grey
No point in motivation
Realizing that it's outta my hands
Vision out of focus
And I'm loving what I see
Something in the air... Something under me
Awoken by the voices
Calling from the trees
Do machines remember working?
Cutting through the grey
Vision out of focus
High above the green
Vision out of focus
But I'm loving what I see

Getaway
04:01
|
|||
I could walk for miles and still get nowhere
I could wake up in a million dreams
I could take my time and still be hurried
And it's all for one but you don't know what it means
And if I fall for you, it might hurt to say your name
It's not always said in vain
What if we were never meant to be here
What if it's just all a big mistake
And it never seems to go my way,
cause I'm tryin too hard to feel ok
After all it's a little hard to take
And if I fall for you, it might hurt to say your name
It's not always said in vain
And if I fall for you, I won't know who called my name
It's not always said in vain
Excerpt from "Grip" a poem by Jericho Brown
"The way I splash your relentless name
It shivers about me. Watch him wallow.
If he tastes mud as bitter as this poem of mine,
then I win. And you will love me."
Every time I hear you scream,
Tears me up from seam to seam
I've got a getaway, uh huh yeeeaa. Oooohhhh
And if I fall for you, it might hurt to say your name
It's not always said in vain
And if I fall for you, I won't know who called my name
It's not always said in vain

All along,
takes a mind to remind me you're still here
All alone,
where she feels alright... Alright
Momma's girl with her lady heels,
tryin' to change but she's unaware
All along, takes a mind to remind me
All alone, where she feels alright
All along, takes her time to deny me
All alone, all along, all alone,
Momma's girl with her lady heels,
tryin' to change but she's unaware
Yeah, don't care.. I suffered more than my share
Yeah, you're wrong. I Knew it all along, yeah yeah.. Yeah yeah
Yeah, you're wrong. I Knew it all along.
Yeah, don't care. I sufferred more than my share.
Yeah, don't care. I sufferred more than my share.
All along, takes a mind to remind me
All alone, where she feels alright
Momma's girl with her lady heels,
tryin' to change but she's unaware
Yeah... she's gone beyond repair
ALL ALONE
Yeah, you're wrong. I Knew it all along, yeah yeah.. Yeah yeah
Yeah, you're wrong. I Knew it all along.
Yeah, don't care. I sufferred more than my share.
Yeah, don't care. I sufferred more than my share.

Little Black Dog
02:38
|

Canine protector, He's bred to fight
Gentle and peaceful by...
Somebody else's side
Loyal companion, ten years on a chain
The one with the wagging tail
Ain't always the one to blame
Little black dog, Down by the roadside
Leave him alone, Don't run away
Little black dog, Growling throat
Has your scent, He just wanna play
Control's impressive, He likes to stay.
Barks at the morning moon,
To let out all the strays
Drooling aggressive, Pugnacious rage
Frustrated by the time
He's let out of the cage
Little black dog, Down by the roadside
Leave him alone, Don't run away
Little black dog, Growling throat
Has your scent, He just wanna play
Man's best friend, has no fear
Won't see teeth til the smile is near
(x3)
Little black dog, Down by the roadside
Leave him alone, Don't run away
Little black dog, Growling throat
Has your scent, He just wanna
Play.... play....
Little black dog,
Down by the roadside
Little black dog,
Just wanna play

Moe Says
03:26
|

Moe says that he wants to fit in
He says that all the time but I don't believe him
Moe says that most the time he misses you
But Moe is a dick and I think that he deserves to be
where he is
Yeah,
feeling like he's gone where he belongs
Moe says that he's understanding
Moe says that all the time but he don't know what he's saying
Most times he understands you, most the time
But Moe's dead, Moe's dead, Moe's dead, yeah yeah
Build a... river, now he's gone and tears are
Flowin'... underneath his bed and leaves are
Fallin', Six feet above his head and now we're
All in... Hearin' what he said, but what's he sayin'?
In the end you'll fit right in
where you belong
Moe's lies notwithstanding
He tried to take a stand but he can't stand where he's laying
where he's laying. where he's laying.
where he's laying. where he's laying.
What's he saying? What's he saying?
What's he saying? What's he saying?
Build a... river, now he's gone and tears are
Flowin'... underneath his bed and leaves are
Fallin', Six feet above his head and now we're
All in... Hearin' what he said, but what's he sayin'?
Yeah.
What's he sayin'?
Yeah.
What's he saaaayin'?

Mountain Man
04:13
|

hard to find, hard to follow.. he’s nature‘s kin
Spends his time in a bottle
o’ Homemade medicine
Long beard, old hat
Cold eyes, long stare
Monarchs In his hair
Long beard, old hat
Those eyes, don't care
To meet again, we'll see you then
No one knows the mountain man
No one knows the mountain man
No one knows the mountain man
Everybody fears the mountain man
Charming man, watchin' them
Through branches
Realize they're doing time
His government's in the cabin
It's out of session
Long beard, old hat
Cold eyes, long stare
Monarchs In his hair
Long beard, old hat
Those eyes, don't care
To meet again, we'll see you then
No one knows the mountain man
No one knows the mountain man
No one knows the mountain man
Everybody fears the mountain man
We all.. fear what we cannot see
When we are.. lost and on our knees
When We fall.. Will anybody hear.. Will he come
No one knows the mountain man
No one knows the mountain man
No one knows the mountain man
Everybody fears the mountain man

Shadows
04:42
|
|||
Can't fight the darkness
On your own
Your night is starless
Light is gone
Lies you hold inside you
Are leading you astray
You need to see the light
To see the way
I'll become
Tomorrow's rising sun
To warm your world
and guide you home
Can't see the writing
On the wall
Your indecision
Shadows fall
Lies you hold inside you
Are leading you astray
You need to see the light
To see the way
I'll become
Tomorrow's rising sun
To warm your world
and guide you home

The Calm
04:08
|
|||
Gather all my scattered bones
Broken from the sticks and stones
Take no pride in being alone
When your pride is all you own
So I tag along
Play the same old song
If I don't belong then I'll be
cast out in the calm
Gather all my fallen friends
Hope I'll see them in the end
And I don't need to pretend
So I'll find you once again
So I tag along
Play the same old song
If I don't belong then I'll be
cast out in the calm
And I find it hard to breathe in here
Fill my lungs with tainted air
I can't hear you breathe at all,
I'm just barely living
Slowly fade into the dark and I drift away
So I tag along
Play the same old song
If I don't belong then I'll be
cast out in the calm

Sides
03:20
|

Long ago I used to be, a man without a case
discovering the world and getting lost in outerspace
I walked 1000 miles to an unfamiliar place
Oh yeah
I tried to find a puzzle, I could finally complete
I turned around and settled down, blood on the street
Its hard to find a way home, I'm faced with my defeat
oh yeah
We know we're driving blind
We know we're driving blind
This road that we travel on is wide
And we're Choosing sides
Long ago I used to be a man without a care
Uncovering a world between the why and the where
I woke a thousand times to realize there's nothin there
Oh yeah
We know we're driving blind
We know we're driving blind
This road that we travel on is wide
And we're Choosing sides

Rest Assured
04:24
|

Mother, can't you see what you have done?
did you think it'd be fine to leave
your past behind, it's just begun
where has your conscience gone?
Life, once a blessing, now a curse
it's what you didn't say,
in the end you've only made it worse
Mother where has your conscience gone
rest assured, you get what you deserve
rest assured, you get what you deserve
Brother, how did it all go wrong?
did you think it's alright to take someone's life
because you're far from home?
where has your conscience gone?
People, it's what you do not what you say
don't be blind, keep a steady mind,
in the end you know we're all the same
Brother where has your conscience gone?
rest assured, you get what you deserve
rest assured, you get what you deserve
