Jesus & the Uppers
03:17
|
|||
Just another day midweek and I’m calming my mind
Another glass half full, it distracts me for now
The girl I’m chasing has a head like a stone
The one chasing me is young at heart and taking me home
The solo days have left me nothing but ignorant
And as I look around I’m just to drawn
It seems like I get younger every day
The more I grow the more I want to take the easy way
I stumble so much it looks like a march
Still waiting for a love to revamp the art
I write like a goon on a Tuesday, drinkin’ since noon
The world falls apart all I can do is break hearts and sing the mood
I blame society
I blame Jesus and the uppers
I blame society
I blame Jesus and the uppers
I blame society
I blame Jesus and the uppers
I blame society
I blame Jesus and the uppers
I blame society
I blame Jesus and the uppers
I blame society
I blame Jesus and the uppers
I blame society
I blame Jesus and the uppers
I blame society
I blame Jesus and the uppers

Woke Up High
03:59
|
|||
They just stare at you
They don’t know what to do
They’re lost and swimming clumsily in circles, a bunch of misfits
Woke up high
Woke up high
Woke up high
Woke up high
So I know a girl, she’s mostly crazy
She just lets her thoughts rattle off
and I know a dude caught up in a mood
Always getting lost in his thoughts
Another good friend, he smokes a fresh blend
getting goofy, nobody minds
I meet them for beers and maybe some bowls
and maybe some blowin’ out the roads
Woke up high
Woke up high
Woke up high
Woke up high
They stumble around in the city
Oh what a way to live day to day
They wear no expression, cold in the eyes
Thinkin’ about what they watched wash away
The hands are the thief, the feet the escape
and the mouth is nothing but lies
You’re running head first into midday traffic
Who knows where you’re going to die
Woke up high
Woke up high
Woke up high
Woke up high

Dark & Stormy
02:37
|

I predict a dark and stormy night
What else would you expect this year?
Who’s gonna be payin’ from dust till dawn?
It’s gonna be me
I know her, no maybe I don’t
but now I’m changing for the worse
You know I’ll make it around the world
Until I finally meet myself
The faceless phrases that she makes
They get repeated in my dreams
The melt the colors out the sky
Into this dark and stormy night
The faceless phrases that she makes
They get repeated in my dreams
The melt the colors out the sky
Into this dark and stormy night
Into this dark and stormy night

Indigo Eyes
03:42
|
|||
Catch one, you’ve got to have a pretty face
Open your arms, forget the race
Drop some LSD-25 into both those indigo eyes
Catch one, you’ve got to have a pretty face
Open your arms, forget the race
Drop some LSD-25 into both those indigo eyes
I’ve tasted the beauty and sometimes that is all you get
The visions and memories get drilled to my naked skin
One life to live and I find I’m sweating in awe
Got to give as much as you can draw
Awoken sounds will breathe
Awoken sounds will bleed
Awoken sounds will breathe
Awoken sounds will bleed
Drop some LSD-25
Drop some LSD-25
Drop some LSD-25
Drop some LSD-25 into both those indigo eyes

Nervous Wreck
03:25
|
|||
Sitting in between these four dark walls with the smell of the flies and the stale alcohol
Had a vision I was leading, had a following that believed me, in the morning I still woke up weak
Looks like a dismal day in the fall, want to leave it all drowning in the past, I don't care
Look at myself in the mirror, ask out loud, “Should I take it into town?”
Travel twenty hours down
Ah, the secret glass, past painted portraits
At last, all the stained glass in the core of my hearts forrest is fully lit
but as everybody knows, sometimes you’re stuck with horse shit
Of course
You’ve got anxiety you nervous wreck
and yesterday was yesterday, you’re somebody else’s pet
I think it’s about time you quit the headache and reconnect the dots because you’re lost and you always seem stuck between that and the get go
Who’s in denial when you’re crying in the street, tryin’ to tell me how it is
Tyin’ to tell me how its all going down
Who’s really got the wild eyes when we try to aspire as a team
and there ain’t no reason why
Who’s in denial when you’re crying in the street, ‘cause you’re tryin’ to make a scene
Tryin’ to tell me how it is
Who’s gonna listen when there ain’t no reason why?
Who’s gonna listen when there ain’t no reason why?

“Just one more rack for the road,” he said
“I’d rather be asleep or I’d rather see dead people dancing around to skanky tunes”
So fry me an egg and fill my mug
a window to the garden to seal in the sun
Sleepin’ in the desert
Burn off the fumes
What’s the heat for!?
What’s the heat for!?
What’s the heat for!?
What’s the heat for!?
What’s the heat for!?
What’s the heat for!?
What’s the heat for!?
What’s the heat for!?

What’s the heat for!?
GO!!!

Sweeter Than Sugar
03:04
|
|||
My love
Communication reached the limit for a while
Gorgeous demonstration and most innocent your smile
As she's sweeter than sugar, tasting sweeter every time
But I am the bitter wine
This vulnerable patience
How the floor would be the sky
Heart of our relation, rolling water from your eyes
As she's sweeter than sugar, tasting sweeter every time
But I saw the rivers cry
Gone sailing, past daydreams
My veins pump wild
The day seems discontent, abundant
I wish to free my sweet dreams
Don’t go I love you so
The track replaying in my mind
and when it’s been long enough you’ll see its all in life
As you’re sweeter than sugar, tasting sweeter every time
and honey, I recognize
Gone sailing, past daydreams
My veins pump wild
The day seems discontent, abundant
I wish to free my sweet dreams
I wish to free my sweet dreams

Throwing My Soul
03:01
|
|||
Any way I gotta see the world and what we ought to be
I only see a fragile glass, it’s cracking
Leaking slowly but surely
The lies are pooling up and babe, I don’t think its gonna last
But knowing what I do
I’m not a fool and just like you I started young and ignorant but now I’m grown
Bravely throwing my soul
Rarely do you find another that you can call upon
but in my time of need I’m lucky, ‘cause you are all my brothers
Smothered by the broken system
Can you recall back when you held your girl and really loved her?
Before they shot the rubber bullets and you heart was swollen
Start questioning the things you thought that you were in control of
Start blowing up at all those personal things you left holes in
You’ve never seen yourself in all the stress until you saw the whole charade and it was broken
Until you saw the whole charade and it was broken
After many days have past
I see the glass
It’s in new color and contrast
I step inside my cocoon and let the bombs rest
Lets recognize this cartoon we’re all apart of
Maybe it’s time for some hallucinations
Because I can tell I’m losing my patience
Besides disaster may strike any day, babe
I’ve never seen myself in all the stress until I saw the whole charade and it was broken
Until I saw the whole charade and it was broken
And now I’ve run through again
And now I’m throwing my soul
Throwing my soul

Don't Turn Away
01:51
|

Don’t turn away from me
Don’t turn away from me
Don’t turn away from me unless you’re sure you’re gonna leave
I’ve gazed into those eyes and seen you’re love for me
and I’ve seen those bitter stares look right through me
but don’t turn away from me
Don’t turn away from me
Don’t turn away from me
Don’t turn away from me unless you’re sure you’re gonna leave
Your past is with the wind, you don’t need me
You’re numb and baby, that’s what you feed me
but don’t turn away from me
Get up!
Don’t turn away from me
Don’t turn away from me
Don’t turn away from me unless you’re sure you’re gonna leave
I ain’t the perfect man, but I loved you
It kills me inside but what I must do is leave you with your lies
Leave you with your lies

Rare Meat
05:11
|
|||
Loose on the full throttle of the circus in my mind
Take the sounds and the voices yelling at me and I’ll make ‘em mine
I’ll just stroke my billy goat beard as I’m laughin’ away
In all hysterics, leave my trail soiled and filthy on the path that you paved
Everybody is my therapist
Everybody ties my hair in knots
yea, the world is my therapist
I’d let her know but she’d rather not
she’d rather not
Sometimes I wonder if I should keep on breathing
and if so will they know that I'm faking it
Well every second, all the time, my mind is screaming
Wave goodnight ‘cause these dreams won’t let me fuckin’ go to sleep
Well I’m doing my best to let it go and just leave it be
I can’t stand the way she make me feel
Well her name is gravity
Lay the quick ended solutions out on the table to see what’s really worth a while and what’s just rare meat
And beaten raw isn’t really a depiction ’til you know what you mean
I’ll kill the memories and then you’ll be accustomed to the world I need
Everybody is my therapist
Everybody ties my hair in knots
yea, the world is my therapist
I’d let her know but she’d rather not
she’d rather not
Everybody is my therapist
Everybody ties my hair in knots
yea, the world is my therapist
I’d let her know but she’d rather not
she’d rather not
Hey!
Everybody is my therapist
Everybody ties my hair in knots
yea, the world is my therapist
I’d let her know but she’d rather not
she’d rather not
