Moving Forward

anticipate to measure up
the pros and cons
are all mapped out
can't decide on what to cut
assemble lines to get it done
take it out on the mind
soak it up don't let it dry
siphoning can't let it stop
there's no time to let it out
moving forward
can't get faster than this
lack of air inside the walls
that surround the protocol
learn to take what's ladled out
even if it's hard to hold
moving forward
can't get faster than this
as the hand moves on the clock
farther down the string i walk
i'll reach the end to figure out
things are not what was thought
moving forward
getting cluttered
moving forward
can't get faster than this
ready or not
pile it all on
ready or not
pile it all on
watch your balance as you sway
anticipate to measure up
the pros and cons are all mapped out
can't decide on what to cut
assemble lines to get it done
take it out on the mind
soak it up don't let it dry
siphoning can't let it stop
there's no time to let it out
moving forward
getting cluttered
moving forward
can't get faster than this
(it's a long slide)

Into The Wall

back track it's not in sight
it can't be that far behind
the sour taste in your mind
will push everything aside
it won't be long
before you choke
crawl into the next phase
to catch a different array
your silhouette changes shape
but your mind won't let you walk away
(under the dark there lies a spark)
it stops then falls apart
back track it's not in line
scattered throughout the inside
collect what is alive
but your eyes won't filter to your mind
that's stuck
it starts then stops
it falls apart
then turns back on
so far left behind and cold
is it for real
it's not so clear
why's it so cold
what don't i know
is this for real
it's unclear
turn off the unknown cause

inside i'm tumbling over
i missed it just by a number
this thing don't want to remember the sting
ground's tired of being run over
the wheels act as a reminder
this time i'm not gonna let it swing
stop shooting the good guy down
you won't get him
it's not your turn
to lay down the line
stay on your own side
the message that was sent
was way too fast to track
i listened through the cracks
but couldn't catch the sound
felt it as it fell right through my hands again
can't wait 'til the traffic in my head
slows down
as i clear out the clutter
the air that's hovering over
thins out just for a moment then quits
(i missed again
it's sinking in)
the flipside is flipping on over
as i'm mulling it over
this time i'm not gonna fall for the trick
stop spilling what's been poured
what's soaking will take a toll
and trail off the line
breaking off the tie
the message that was sent
was way too fast to track
i listened through the cracks
but couldn't catch the sound
felt it as it fell right through my hands again
can't wait 'til the traffic in my head
slows down
stop shooting the good guy down
you won't get him
it's not your turn

Far From The Middle
02:52
|
|||
|
what's next to surface
always a twist
thrown so far from the middle
what is it that i missed
thrown to the side from the center
somewhere i missed the signal
as i search for something familiar
can't get back get back in
gone
was it there
now it's gone
hey get your head on
put your head on
gone without a clue
out of the blue
lost and can't renew

is it all in your head
and you can't explain it
with this microscope we're taking
to plan an entire picture
i am questioning exactly
what we'll learn from this procedure
shut the valve off
time to sit still
take a deep breath
let the tank fill
is it all in your head

the system
stops working
they can't tell
who's laughing
the same signs
keep flashing
but no one
is looking
you can't expect it
to fix itself now
you're gonna have to
dig a little deeper
here's a ticket
for the last minute
it won't cut it
'cause you can't catch up
oh no
to what was tossed out
you see it fall to the ground
the seeds that have been planted
they can't grow without a gun
to fix the system
that seems so precious
(it's so precious)
to the image
and the elected
oh no
i can't believe this
oh no
i'm just a number
the system stops working
they can't quite tell who is laughing
it's the same signs that keep showing
but no one seems to be looking
it's one big cycle cycles make
there's just some things that i can't take
'cause there's nothing that doesn't need
assistance occasionally

Field Fire
02:07
|

wait the field is on fire
you're gonna get burned
hey the field is on fire
you took a wrong turn
hey the field is on fire
the stakes were too high
place your hands on the ground
and kiss it goodbye
seize the chapters on file
you're turning around
leave them all in a pile
now it's time to run
hey the field is on fire
the stakes were too high
trace the sun on the dial
you're gonna get by

Autopilot
03:55
|
|||
|
out in the breeze
like in your dream
slow down slowly
forget what's spinning
around
notice nothing
is worth the worry
at all
returning
returning
we are
we are
we are all
we're high

A Thought Process
02:50
|
|||
|
a thought process
now in progress
and i don't know
of the outcome
but that's the way
that it makes sense
to all the thoughts
that are unlocked
a thought process
now in progress
and i don't know
where it's going
but that's the way
that it works best
follow the thought
and watch it grow
when you're in
your own world
a thought that passes slightly dressed
a thought that starts from scratch
a thought that stops and loses track
while another stores itself and finds its way back
roll the choices of viewpoints in front of you
and ways to comprehend
the countless numbers of trips to take
where do they all end
roll the choices of viewpoints in front of you
where do they all end
where do they all end
where do they all end
now it all makes perfect sense

Bombs Away

say again
break the silence
now and then
make some mountains
to climb up
just for nothing
and down again
it's what we do
understand
why you're running
not afraid
just pretending
while you stay
there's still movement
not against
right with you
let it flow
let if fall its own way
