Count your blessings Walk the line Don't move too fast Or fall behind There are rules you must obey They get re-written by the day Don't do this - don't say that Your every move is logged and tracked By the all oppressive eye Spy satellites in friendly skies The new american century Has only just begun No one exempt from the tragedy Counterattack start pushing back Fight the power That chokes your speech Fight the power That makes you bleed Fight the power That propogates lies To keep you weak Keep you in line Fight the power that reigns you in Divides and conquers Defines your sin Fight the power For one and all Before the power swallows us whole No one dares to say a word Our panic drives all human herds In the land where cash is king Our silence bought and sold for free The future's banging on our door When real I.D. will be the law Love thy neighbor and turn him in It's what we call patriotism The world is watching in disbelief Chanting shame on you How can you stand by so quietly Letting them rape your liberties You can't be bothered or concerned You see no reason for alarm Prejudice, religion hate Usher in new mandate Absolute and resolved All one nation under one god Lack of interest has its price As we're stripped of all our rights Those who cannot learn from history Are the ones doomed to repeat

Hang tough kid The night aint for hours Your too anxious to do work Because you know it doesn’t apply to you You struggle to do work Stay strait girl He’s on his way to see you You’re afraid you miss him too much Because he might see you as friend You struggle to be happy Keep it up Don’t fuck up kid You got what you want Your high school dreams came true And now your flying high You struggle to find fault Get out of here officer You’re not invited By the look in your eyes I see You wish you could high with us You struggle to make amends Keep it up Hang tough kid The night aint for hours Your distracted from your work So you can create an even better excuse You struggle to care Keep it up kid!

Watching life fly by like a limozine Borrowing a little introversion for a pillow It's sometimes good to see things from behind In a sense I control time ss I see it I can alter the setting without touching the circumstance It's sometimes good to see things from behind I don't say I'm sorry when I'm here So I can have a guideline or something to hold onto It's sometimes good to see things from behind If not just to kill time then just to observe To know what happens on the other side It's sometimes good to see things from behind And all I willfully see Are silhouettes in the smoke singing in front of me And all that makes sense to me Sung by the silhouettes in the smoke I see Hey Man, hows it hanging? Do you need a favor or some company? Hey Man, where you going? Do you need a favor or some company? Everyone is the result of me Cuz they were only like that around me It's sometimes good to see things from behind I'd never wanna conspire against anyone I just need a piece of intervention for me It's sometimes good to see things from behind And all I willfully see Are silhouettes in the smoke singing in front of me And all that makes sense to me Sung by the silhouettes in the smoke I see

Hey man what’s your problem? Don’t you know that I don't belong to you? It’s hard and hard enough To keep it up when everything is so new I’m not trying to forget you No oh oh I just like to be my own Come and give me the space I need You may you may you may you may Find that we’re alright I mean no offense to you But grow up Can’t you just grow up? When are you gonna Give it your own go? Give it your own go I know I’m being way too hard But I know that I’m trying I know myself And I know what I want to do I’m doing my best And I want to know Is it good for you? You give me trouble You give me everything that you’ve got I’ll show you that Whats right for you me Ain’t for you

Too hardcore Too fucking hardcore man Hey dude nothing I say is personal I love you but you think I care about you too much I know I don't seem fine But no one is I won't shine the spotlight on your problems if you'll do the same for me And there won't be no hurt feelings Emotions are not toys For impatient girls and boys Though we're never on the same page I know you know we're all the same

I don’t like it when I think my assumptions are real It comes naturally when spend your life as third wheel And no ones really minds it, never need to show concern And I don't like when I go off the deep end, still a lot to learn But nobody needs me ‘cept my baby It’s all in the way we complement each other And she don't need to tell me nothing Life is too slow like watching a murder She’s the only one that wants to spend time with me And I guess that’s fine since there’s just two of us that do

It’s ok to keep things artificial sometimes Just so things stay simple Just because you’re passive this time Doesn’t set a precedent to let yourself get overwhelmed We all know change is scary Shelter from the storm brings fear Just another burden for us to collectively share The more you think about the last few weeks The more you see how the little things matter Cuz now I’m responsible And every little moment that makes me think of the present time Will always leave me questioning what happened before And if this is the same thing over again And it always leaves me wondering It has to end sometime The end A term we say so constructively As if to anticipate a place we don’t want to be So in an attempt to cope I find myself vicariously selling concepts That could only ever be relevant to my current situation And cuz I feel I know myself More so than anything else I feel I will stand here watching and waiting For something no human could prepare for And then things start to break down a bit

I'm not there, I'm gone. Don’t blame your imagination Even if there’s no other explanation No one wants to be hurt now No one wants to hurt later Don’t blame the situation Even if there’s no other explanation No one wants to be hurt now No one wants to hurt later Even if this is me trying I can’t blame you for thinking I’m lying Being so different for me carries my weight So all I’m used to is mine and people’s mistakes Even if you think I wish this were dying I can’t blame you cuz I could be lying We’re still practically strangers Just making things stranger Blind to danger Cuz now it’s safer Where does that leave me? Is this the right time? Are you the right one? To put up with me so lightly now Where will this throw you? To find the right one? So they can show you, I don’t deserve you I wasn’t born to lose you Just to accept you You wanted something unrealistic You couldn’t accept me You couldn’t change me Who’s in control now? Who’s saying what’s going on? Cuz we’re still people So we’re still equal There’s nothing over We’re just getting sober I want you to be happy So you should go without me There’s no part of me left wondering why What do I want sky? It’s time for me Just to be me Now to be self-centered Look at myself and try to care It’s time for you To find out what you need to do To make things better And to be self-centered I’m sorry we don’t love ourselves as much as want sometimes It’s too superficial to be thinking “what’s mine?” If you want to be superior You’ll have to be a warrior I could say get well But that’s too hard to sell I don’t know what’s next And you shouldn’t know what to expect But for everything bad that can happen Something just as good can happen And then things deepen And burn in incense Sometimes we get high Just to get by Sometimes we get drunk To bury what’s ever in the trunk Sometimes we trip face To see the world from outer space Of all my endless inquires this doesn’t leave me asking “why?” What do I want sky? I don’t need yours Or anyone’s god in my life To know there is a reason Behind all that is right Things don’t just happen And example leads the way For every action’s reaction For night’s promise of day There are only reasons When I'm high I think When I'm strait I take notes No one was sorry Whenever I was lonely I looked at other cool friends No matter how far from my world They led me comparing them to only you I thought that was enough to prove And I stuck with just you Cuz I thought I wanted just you And now it’s too late to Make any of those cool friends true Cuz I’m still thinking of just you To show I’m not leaving you If I don’t seem sad It’s cuz you’re not important If I seem mad It’s cuz you’re not important If you ever sink low You should remember How you felt a month ago And you’ll see I’m not that important And things got weird just to happen Even if what we did was nothing The usual stopped and this still happened I don’t want to be carried By those I wouldn’t carry Cuz now’s not the right time For you to be the right one Now’s the time for you To find a less demanding someone You shouldn’t change just for me Cuz I’m not important Cuz if I'm people Then I'm still equal Do I want to be a part of these people? Or just be a sheep still I shouldn’t lie just for you Cuz right now you’re that important So now you’ll see all that leaves me wondering why What do I want sky? To be higher and higher and higher

"Hey you in there? Are you in there? Haven't you heard the news? WE ALL love Satan!" A moment to myself Not often sought But always appreciated Whispers only I can hear And I don't have to take anything seriously There's too much noise now I can't take anyone seriously

This goes on and on And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on I am all alone this time around Sometimes on the side I hear a sound Places parallel I know it's you Feel the little pieces bleeding through And all this goes on And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on This goes on And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on Now that I've decided not to stay I can feel me start to fade away Everything is back where it belongs I will be beside you before long, and on, This goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on This goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on We will never die Beside you in time We will never die Beside you in time This goes on and on And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on I am all alone this time around

I'm gonna wake up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom Wake up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom Girl, that man you been lovin', he can stay in my room I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know Well if she aint in West Helena, she must be in East Monroe I know
