A New Outlook

Calling out to fate
I get a feeling of helplessness
Though the pattern was in myself to change the path
Showing up so late
I get the feeling I haven't started yet
A decade of sure bets and debts all left up aid
Oh lord help the sin
Of getting up and trying to start again
I can't help but grin
I seem to start where others end
And I guess I'm not
The pessimist I thought myself to be
The world is nothing more
Than what I choose to see
Isn't that so great?
I guess, I can't help but feel jealous
I bust my ass but not much comes to pass
Passing out the virtue of lies
Oh what a time to be alive
A decade half made can burn bright before it fades
Oh lord help the sin
Of getting up and trying to start again
I can't help but grin
I seem to start where others end
And I guess I'm not
The pessimist I thought myself to be
The world is nothing more
Than what I choose to see
What I see, yea yea yea
If I had my say I'd say what I want anyway
Had my way I'd say I'd say what I want anyway
Had my way I'd say I'd say what I want anyway

Psychedelic Syd

Syd was just a kid
When he left his home for a new unknown
Born for a trip to roam
And his eyes weren't shone
Cause his hair had grown
As he stumbled in to the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco
Syd went to a party down the street
Found enlightenment a few hits
And then he moved in with a few friends
Looking for a brand new hope
They could all elope
Guided by the words of the man on TV named Timothy Leary
Cause the revolution's here
And I don't want to miss out
Yea the revolution's here
And I don't want to miss out
Consciously joining conscious expansion
At least amongst all my friends
I’m in tune with our new revolution
Whatever meaning it lends
Conveying love with a new generation
Toward whatever future it lends
Culture creeps towards its next evolution
At least amongst all my friends
Cause the revolution's here
And I don't want to miss out
Cause the revolution's here
And I don't want to miss out

The world is more than what it seems
You give your life its own meaning
Your grow and build 'til atrophy ensues
The day is what you make of it
A universe inside your head
I paint the cracks and make myself look new
Turning on incessantly
To bring out a new normalcy
If happiness is a guarantee pursuit
Philosophy I grow to wed
To make some sense of what's been said
The meaning is still waiting to be found

Eudaimonia

I try to keep my secrets kept
Even though they're coming on and on and on
Following through to my voice
Where they claim that they belong, belong but I know they're wrong
I could be good, I could be fine
I could be yours, I could be mine
I could be golden in the sun
When you are old I'll still be young
Offenders are offending me
And sending everything they think they can sell to me
But I'm not picking plastic flowers
Inside your false garden rosary cause you know that aint for me
I could be good, I could be fine
I could be yours, I could be mine
I could be golden in the sun
When you are old I'll still be young
Don't you think those people are sad
Even though they don't seem to know the difference
I could be good, I could be fine
I could be yours, I could be mine
I could be golden in the sun
When you are old I'll still be young
When you are old I'll still be young

I Am the Contradiction
04:56
|
|||
A morning for mourning that I won’t subdue
Never a whole in pieces of you
If you are the sense
Then I am the contradiction
Talking a tongue so void of meaning
A part of the picture that I've been screaming
Although I was caught a sweet submission
If you are the sense
Then I am the contradiction
You're only diction's addiction
Bottles in beauty do my healing
A taste for attention so appealing
Further the tension I’ve been feeling
If you are the sense than I am the contradiction
You're feeding the falsities in my facts
Your crucifix is stabbing my back
You're leaving for every reason I lack
Because if you are the sense than I am the contradiction
Your only diction’s addiction

Hey did you know?
I was slow to let her go
I was slow to let her find a quicker way
Did you go against the grain
And have all your demons slain
Until only fair tales would remain?
Hey did you know?
Hey did you know?
Hey are you out?
Did you take all take all you're allowed?
Did you find your soul in a moment of self doubt
And hey don't ignore
There's an angel at your door
Showing things you never thought you'd think before
And hey just for show
I gave you more than you should know
Gave you more than you ever could have owned

The Trade
05:57
|

I traded my hand for some cards I couldn't use
I sold all my art for a corporation's muse
I traded my beliefs for a politician's views
And I've been finding false everything you said was true
The ignorant will never learn
They'll always remain fools
And evil men come now and then
But in the end they will die too
And I said how I'll move on and on and on and on and on
I said now I'll move on and on and on and on and on
I traded sure bets for a gamble I would lose
I sold dull choices for a right to still refuse
I took for granted everyone I ever knew
And I've been finding false everything you said was true
The ignorant will never learn
They'll always remain fools
And evil men come now and then
But in the end they will die too
And I said how I'll move on and on and on and on and on
I said now I'll move on and on and on and on and on
They caught you in sweet november
They wrapped you in their clothes
They took all you could remember
After they stole what you loved most
And they kept on passing you over
Until you passed away

Black Window
04:40
|

Don't think I knew
Their silent faces hold the wall
Of a time when I met you
Our heart beats skipping like a stone
And now I see it in my future
And I feel it on my throat
And I know what's coming after
And I know I'm not alone
But I feel so alone
You teach with your body
With flushed cheeks I could learn what turned you on
The world stared back at me
But I could only notice what was wrong
The closer that I stood
The more I saw the less of you I’d know
And time had changed the mood
Shade the landscapes of my black window
And now I see it in my future
And I feel it on my throat
And I know what's coming after
And I know I'm not alone
But I feel so alone
The lights are on all night long
I’m singing through my right lung
The words are tips on my tongue
I do want more sometimes though and I guess it shows right through
I saw your face the first time
Now you’re a frame in my mind
The picture’s working just fine
I do want more sometimes though and I guess it shows right through

Molly Sunday
02:46

Good morning Molly drama queen
You're gonna make a mess of me
You're gonna take the rest from me
And as you smile and laugh quaintly
You talk back faintly
And hide behind a gap toothed grin
A loneliness within
I thought you saw through the matter
When the former was latter
I thought you could see right through to the cause
I thought you saw through the pattern
When you said it didn't matter
I thought you could see right through the applause
That it was just another phase
A define yourself craze
And hide behind all that you've been
A loneliness within
I thought you saw through the mess
But you wouldn't protest
All those who've over extended their reach
I thought you would've noticed
All the detail they missed
But you were mesmerized my a speech
Like it was just another phase
A define yourself craze
And hide behind all that you've been
A loneliness within
Good morning Molly sunday scene
You're gonna give the best of me to you

The Recklessly Abandoned
07:55
|
|||
How could this happen to me?
I never thought I’d get old
The come down always kills those perceptions of truth
That idealism won’t hold
So desperately
So recklessly
Disassembled in youth
Couldn’t hang on to it
To find pieces of love within peace and in truth
For three dollars a hit
So recklessly
Abandon me
