Everyone, oh for miles around

Wishes they could be, wishes they could be, wishes they could be

And every guy around 

Every guy, oh for miles around

Anyone else

Wishes she could be

Voices in a Park

I’m gonna change the world, you know I can

I’d like to change your mind but you know I can’t

And summers really summer when the spring has really died

And this little rocky outcrop is  a perfect place to hide

And it won’t hurt your life to spend a whole life with me

And it won’thurt your life to spend a whole life with me

They were voices in a park

They were diamonds in a coal mine

They had little hearts and those hearts beat so fine

And we were all actors from the guild in the city

We could never be wrong cause we were always so pretty

I’m gonna change the world, you know I can

I’d like to change your mind but you know I can’t

And the winters really winter when sun is coming up

And you’re singing out you heart on the back of your truck

And it won’t hurt your life to spend a whole life with me

And it won’t hurt your life to spend a whole life with me

Audiotears

Pushing strings of metal

of nickel plated steel

Vibrations calling out to me

 Music was made to set me free

My guitar is crying

My guitar is crying

my guitar is crying

Audiotears

Rewound I like that bass sound

 I love the way it feels

I live inside my verses

Music gives me choices

My guitar is crying

My guitar is crying

my guitar is crying

Audiotears

 Beating on a kickdrum

So much more than noises

My heart is pumping faster

Music is my master

My guitar is crying

My guitar is crying

my guitar is crying

Audiotears

Screaming to the tempo

My lungs are pushing higher

The air is on fire

Music is my desire

My guitar is crying

My guitar is crying

my guitar is crying

Audiotears

Burning up

This is our last chance for growing up

The last chance to do what you want

I’m too much in my head to ever be heard

Too much thinking, I’m burning up charge

It’s a bad thing it’s a bad thing it’s a bad thing

Losing my mainframe

I’m burning up you

It wasn’t your fault and it wasn’t mine

Sometimes things get out of line

It’s a bad thing it’s a bad thing it’s a bad thing

Losing my mainframe

I’m burning up charge

As long as you’re young I can’t apoligize for the things I’ve done

I’m eating up you, I’m eating up time

It’s a bad thing it’s a bad thing it’s a bad thing

I’m losing my mainframe

I’m burning up charge

Be Your Own Subject

Startling pictures of one nights adventures

Everyone is gathered around

Hoping for reaction

Searching for attention

You’re not the only one in the crowd

Be your own subject

Write your own story

Make it your own point of view

Learn your own lessons

Walk in your own direction

You’re the only one that is you

Someone is afraid of the things they are made of

The heaviness of a crown

Working all season

hoping for a reason

Sometimes he just wants to drown

Be your own subject

Write your own story

Make it your own point of view

Learn your own lessons

Walk in your own direction

You’re the only one that is you

He came to the summons he knew he was wanted

Something he had to prove

Sigh in frustration

No more motivation

He did what he had to do

Be your own subject

Write your own story

Make it your own point of view

Learn your own lessons

Walk in your own direction

You’re the only one that is you

The Day

Wake up go outside

Build yourself a brand new life

The night is young there’s no time to cry

Things change and so do I

Wake up your life was chosen

You have to blow this door wide open

Get up grab all your things

Let’s see what the day can bring

I’ve never wished I was in pain

But still I feel I’ve felt such things

I’ve never wished I was in pain

But still I feel I’ve felt such things

Don’t we all

Don’t we all

The day the day the day

The day the day the day

The day the day the day

The day the day the day

The day the day the day

The day the day the day

The day Brought me

Better off as a Cloud

There have been times I layed in bed awake

And I didn’t think about anything

But I sure thought of every damn thing

I know that must have been yesterday

Cause I haven’t slept and I know I’ve changed

I painted a heart on my broken mind

Better than taking poloroids of the empty sky

Looks different in the day looks different at night

I walked real slow felt the rythm of the life

And I’m just talking about  now

The trees still remember all the times you fell

They know of it now and they know of it well

You stumbled on the roses and you clutched the air

It’s shame no one caught you in the middle of that

And no one said this life isn’t social

Blinking in and out sinking in and out

Letting little things twist you all up and around

You’re tired as hell having an energy drought

I would have been better off as a cloud

I could have always been up and would have never been down

I would have never been down

Custom Girl

Such a special suit and tie

For a very custom kind of guy

You have to look good to get in this year

So wear all of that custom gear

She’s my custom girl

Living in my custom world

She has to be perfect for me

Cause she’s my custom girl

She’s my custom girl

And she’s lives in my custom world

I’m gonna take you celebrate

With a very custom dinner date

Then it’s home and we’ll drink some wine

Stay up late for that custom time

She’s my custom girl

Living in my custom world

She has to be perfect for me

Cause she’s my custom girl

She’s my custom girl

And she’s lives in my custom world

She’s my custom girl

Living in my custom world

She has to be perfect for me

Cause she’s my custom girl

She’s my custom girl

And she’s lives in my custom world

She’s my custom girl

She’s my custom girl 

She’s my custom girl

She’s my custom girl 

She’s my custom girl

She’s my custom girl 

And she lives in my custom world

Emotion

12 dozen people outside the museum with a diamond and a 

locket and a sword for the film

But I am a hundred miles away sitting on the back of a 

rusty el camino painted white and black

And I’m  drinking up the stars wishing I were real 

when a thought crossed my mind and I start to feel pain

for those who hate with a mind like cold steel

when it’s free to love and much love can heal

A cocaine trip in the nosebleed section

While I am stuck on words staring at my reflection 

I awoke this morning feeling helpless and lifeless

From the lasting impressions

All the late nights and vices

And I have dreamed this morning Through it’s tireless devices

From the sounds that he made

Because a guitar is priceless

Good Things

All the city streets, they used to have skateboards

The kids all had bones they could break

All the city lights their lookin so lonely

No one walks outside

I’ve grown so sad and somber just a waiting

I’m just looking for love

Where did the people go? Where’s all my lovers?

These days everyone they always stay home

Don’t be afraid of motion before it’s motion

Don’t be afraid to laugh cause you might be seen

Don’t be afraid of motion before it’s motion

Because the good things are harder to get

Because the good things are harder to get

-guitar solo-

I took a walk outside the usual places

It was time to search for some new ideas

All I found was garbage and unused transit

I guess we were waiting for someone to move

Where’s my starlight and railroad tracks?

What happened to movies on sunday afteroon?

I don’t remember when we stopped loving humans

I’m more exhausted now than I have ever been

Don’t be afraid of motion before it’s motion

Don’t be afraid to love cause you might get hurt

Don’t be afraid of motion before it’s motion

Because the good things are harder to get

Because the good things are harder to get

-Guitar solo-

The Beginning

He sold all his records for better inventions

He sold out his Ford for a new wheeled direction

He sold all his clothes for tighter woven threads

But he hasn’t sold out his show

It’s the only thing he knows

It’s back to drawing board

The drawing board

It’s back to the drawing board

The drawing board

It’s for good this time

He is singing

Multi-tasking with meaning

Until the curtains close

And he hasn’t sold out his show

It’s the only thing he knows

It’s back to drawing board

The drawing board

It’s back to the drawing board

The drawing board

It’s for good this time

He sold all his records for better inventions

He sold out his Ford for a new wheeled direction

He sold all his clothes for tighter woven threads

But he hasn’t sold out his show

It’s the only thing he knows

It’s back to drawing board

The drawing board

It’s back to the drawing board

The drawing board

It’s for good this time

He hasn’t sold out his show

It’s the only thing he knows

Everyone Knows

Such a fighter

Not sure he’ll ever notice

He’s a liar

Keeps his head above the rest

Barely surviving

Not sure he even knows it

Or he ever will

Maybe he never will

What a reaction he has gotten from this crowd

Such satisfaction

Must make your father proud

Everyone knows

Everyone knows

What you are

You’re the only one

Who doesn’t seem to know

Where you belong

What a reaction he has gotten from this crowd

Such Satisfaction

Must make your father proud

Simple and quiet

Can’t tell he even hears you

Such a riot

Keeps his voice inside his head

Overthinking

He fills the air with choices

So enlightened

Always sayin he knows what’s best

 

What a reaction he has gotten from this crowd

Such Satisfaction

Must make your father proud

Everyone knows

Everyone knows

What you are

You’re the only one

Who doesn’t seem to know

Where you belong

What a reaction he has gotten from this crowd

Such Satisfaction

Must make your father proud

Next to me

I guess the subject didn’t fit how I meant it wasn’t accurate

And all the little things I arranged they weren’t happening

I must have got caught in the rain

Cause I’m dripping with change

And all I want

Is to be loved

And all I need

Is you, next to me

You know that everyone rolls all the dice it’s so simple

In this beat down shell of a world that’s how we livin

Making temples of all we have learned

Oh will we ever learn

And all I want

Is to be loved

And all I need

Is you, next to me

Da da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da da da

I want you next to me

i want you next to me

I want to next to me

Peices of Human

They brought him here to the underground

They told him nothing and hated him

Then they let him run around

Well he learned nothing

And that was the best thing he ever did

Cause you’re dangerous with knowledge

The price of brainwaves splitting atoms

It’s much too high to pay

And high he was every single day

No worries for the world

But the world worries for you

Does the that make you feel bad?

Do you feel bad for us too?

Not a single molecule in this whole galaxy could ever compare

To the struggle for life and the way he held it dear

Candles and carfire he saw every single day

Time to retreat back into his own mind

It’s the safest place he has ever stayed

Typical reversion of a minds eye

Distorted images of beauty and pretty lies

He never compared angels to devils

It was easy when you didn’t believe in either

Don’t refrain to bother something you want

Your heated mind will give you fever

Alone he kept and didn’t ask for approval

Subconcious interacting with his moth ridden mind

Decisions he didn’t make defining his lifetime

It wasn’t a way to live then and it still isn’t now

They’ll shred you to pieces

That never bothered him

Pieces are all he had left anyway
