WELCOME
Wearing my welcome
Tear stained eyes
You cannot see me
Through this disguise
Worn out our welcome
The garden is closed
Yeah we've been locked out
Longer than we know
(Wearing) Out our welcome
(Wearing) Out our welcome
Yeah look at what we became
Would you call it sane?
The same thing over and over and over
And over again
Wearing out our welcome
Wearing out our welcome
This is what a welcome
Looks like that's worn out
Our welcome is well worn out
Of that have no doubt
Wearing out our welcome
Wearing out our welcome
It's too late to reverse
It's too late to stop building
It's too late to lift the curse
What are you, kidding?
Wearing out our welcome
Wearing out our welcome
Now we've worn out our welcome
Now we've worn out our welcome
Look at us dancing
Just like puppets
God's tits and tail
How I wish we could stop it
Look at us dancing
Just like puppets
God's teeth and tail
How I wish we could stop
Stop
Wearing out our welcome
Wearing out our welcome
Wearing out our welcome
Wearing out our welcome
Wearing out our welcome
Wearing out our welcome
Wearing out our welcome
Wearing out our welcome
Now it's the children
That will pay the cost
Now we've worn out our welcome

NOTHING IS NOWHERE

NOTHING IS NOWHERE
Nothing is nowhere
Let me make it clear
Everything is somewhere
So there's nothing to fear
Nothing is nowhere
Everything is everywhere
You can see chaos or order
For all that I care, for all that I care
For all that I care
Nothing is nowhere, nothing is nowhere
Everything is somewhere
I see what I see
I be what I be
There's nothing that's nothing
As far as I can see
Nobody is nobody
8 billion and counting
Nobody's nowhere
Either down in a hole or up on top of the mountain
Nothing is nowhere
Nothing is nowhere
Nothing is nowhere
Nothing is nowhere
Nothing is nowhere
No one's missing
Everything is somewhere
You can hear if you just listen
Nothing is nowhere
Nothing is nowhere
Nothing is nowhere
Nothing is nowhere
Nothing is nowhere
Nothing is nowhere
Nothing is nowhere
Nothing is nowhere

GIVE IT

GIVE IT
If I give it, you can't take it
If I live it, I don't fake it
Your power over me you see
Is not so easy and it don't come free
It's not so easy and it don't come free
The power within myself however
Belongs to me and no one else, forever
Belongs to me and no one else, forever
What I don't possess you can't take
And my heart will never be less than I can make it
If I give it to you, you can't take it off from me
If I trust you, you can't break it baby
If I give it to you, you can't take it
If I trust you, you can't break it baby
The power within myself however
Belongs to me and no one else
Why is love such a problem, a hot and hungry mess
Who do you choose,
What do you give them,
You see I, I confess
The power within myself however
Belongs to no one else
It was always some new treat to taste
It was a hungry beast that laid me waste
To feelings with barely a backwards glance
Once around and then come on baby let's find another dance
Once around and then come on baby let's find another dance
It belongs to me and no one else forever
It belongs to me and no one else forever
What I don't possess, you can't take
And my heart will never be less than I can make it
Why is love such a problem, a hot and hungry mess?
Who do you choose, what do you give them?
You see that I confess
In the past I was lost and love was given and taken with no care
For whatever the cost
Why is love such a problem
The love's inside
Why is love such a problem
One time around and then find another dance.

TECHNOSAVAGE
Technosavage tell me how come
Technosavage you worship your gun
Technosavage your heart is a hole
Technosavage your heart is a hole
Technosavage you are out of control
Technosavage your fuse is short
Technosavage see all the stuff you bought
Technosavage the dollar’s your home
You're going to wind up lost, starving, and alone
Technosavage your heart is a hole
Technosavage you're out of control
Technosavage your heart is a hole
Technosavage you're out of control
We know what you fear
The love that we all hold deep in here
Yeah we know how to make you disappear
With the love we all have deep in here
Technosavage your heart is a hole
Technosavage you're out of control
You are dumber than your phone
You've forgotten how to leave well enough alone
In this agreed-upon hallucination
All hail this thing you call your nation
Technosavage your heart is a hole
Technosavage you're out of control
Technosavage
Technosavage
Technosavage
Technosavage
Technosavage

IWISHIKNEW
I don't know - I don't know
If we all feel the same about
What we're going through
If we all feel the same about
What we're going through
Wish I knew
Which way to turn
Which way the wind blows
So I don't get burned
Wish I knew
How this mess is gonna end
Is there really no sanity clause?
And ain't Jesus my friend?
Wish I knew, wish I knew, wish I knew
All the stuff I don't know
Wish I knew, wish I knew, wish I knew
Which way to go
Wish I knew how to get back to the garden
To days of innocence, no more serpents with hard-ons
Wish I knew but to really tell it true
Would the truth be anything we could see as true?
Wish I knew, wish I knew, wish I knew
All the stuff I don't know
Wish I knew, wish I knew, wish I knew
Which way to go
Wish I knew but to tell it true
Do I really want to know
Just how we are screwed,?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I don't know
Do I wish I knew?
I don't know

UPGRADE ME
I need an upgrade
Cos I'm not strong enough
I need an upgrade
Cos I'm not young enough
Upgrade, am I too fat or maybe too thin,
Oh where to begin?
I need an upgrade my brain's on fire
Upgrade me I have needs and desires
Upgrade, am I too fat or maybe too thin,
Oh where to begin?
I need an upgrade my brain's on fire
Upgrade me, I got needs and desires
Upgrade me from whatever I am
I'm willing to listen, believe any scam
Just upgrade me to a better me
So I can feel happy, strong, and free
Upgrade me from whatever I am
I'm willing to listen, believe any scam
Just upgrade me to a better me
So I can feel happy, strong, and free
I need an upgrade
Upgrade me
Upgrade me from whatever I am
I'm willing to listen, believe any scam
Just upgrade me to a better me
So I can feel happy, strong, and free
Upgrade me baby
Upgrade me baby
Upgrade me baby
Upgrade me baby

WHY CELEBRITY
04:27
|

WHY CELEBRITY?
Why celebrity?
Why celebrity?
Why celebrity, why the desire to be something
Bigger and more than the way you naturally be
Why celebrity, is it a lust for inequity
The thirst to be first
So no one's better than me
But ask yourself, why celebrity?
Why celebrity, a world of hate and instability
A passport for myself to the other side of mental health
An excuse to be adored for being crazy
A way to get rich quick and be completely lazy
A way to get rich quick and be completely lazy
Why celebrity?
Why celebrity?
Wake up every day a world where everybody's got it in for me
The ride to the top, the cream of the crop
That burning desire that cannot be stopped
With celebrity, is there really nothing else inside of me?
Why celebrity?
Why celebrity, why fame's sick game?
When the world is filled with so many other things you could name
Peace of mind, just be kind
Helping others find
Their way when they are blinded
By anonymity
Seems to me why is celebrity
Something that you want to be
Seems to me why is celebrity
Something that you want to be
Why celebrity?
When you could just kind
And have peace of mind.

OUR CHILDREN
Our children are not our children
Their souls are their own,
Our children they’re just showing us
How much it is they have grown
They have their very own breathing in and breathing out
Our children are not our children
They’re on their own journey to find out
What they’re about
Our children are not our children
They’re on their own, they’re not ours to own
Showing what is shown, in the mirror of the unknown
Our children are not our children
Don't try to make them smaller versions of you
Life doesn’t grow backwards, they will do what they will do
Let them walk their own path, don't try to repair mistakes from your past
Don't be surprised at anything they do, just remember they are them, and they are not you
Our children are not our children, their souls are their own,
Our children they’re just showing us, how much they have grown
Our children are not our children
They’re on their own, they’re not ours to own
Showing what is shown, in the mirror of the unknown
Don't try to make them smaller versions of you
Life does not grow backwards, they will do what they will do.
Our children are not our children
Our children

TRAILER PARK
Oh Lord won't you deliver me
From the trailer park and the satellite dish
From the failure of my every thwarted dream and wish
Banish me not to the wilderness of banality and pain
Where my own face in the mirror
Twists the knife again and again
Set me not adrift upon a lake
A lost and lonely lake without hope
Where the news is all disaster
Dangling on a fraying rope
I'm not praying to anything out there
I'm talking to what's inside of here
Lord is there any difference between
My anxiety and my fear?
It's clear to me that nothing's clear to me
Even though I wipe the fog from the window with my sleeve
All I ever see is myself staring back at me
Too damn scared, Lord, too damn scared to leave
Lord give me a charitable heart
Or at least a good head start
And deliver me from the satellite dish
And the trailer park at the edge of the desert in the morning mist
The edge of the desert in the morning mist
Oh Lord won't you deliver me
From the trailer park and the satellite dish

BILLIONS
We are billions mindless minions - we are
Our lives encased in steel on wheels - cars
Do you feel anything like me - you see
We are all only one in billions
The only one who feels different is everyone
Nobody knows what's going on and on - and on
Confess we make it up in our blindness - mindlessness
There's no message or method to our madness
A billion ideas should all be the same
We are billions stuck inside the same game - what's your name
A billion souls, a billion minds
And difference not sameness is all we find
After that when all that desire has been scourged from the earth forever
Oh such clever monkeys
Look at, look at what you've done
Oh … oh clever monkeys
Look at, look at what you've done
Oh clever monkey
Look at, look at what you've done
Oh clever monkey
Billions are traveling in circles
ON THE SAME WHEEL
Eight billion minds ought to be able to find
At least some agreement, some reason to the rhyme
We are billions
Locked away inside our minds.
