Waves
04:01
|

we're all doing fine
working hard to kill some time
waves
waves
crashing down on me
waiting on that big day
when everything is gonna change
waves
waves
crashing down on me
it doesn't matter how long we wait
out of all this living we share the same fate
in the end
in the end
we live here in the valley
home can be the river or an alley
waves
waves
crashing down on me
and we're all singing folk songs
getting drunk or passing bongs
waves
waves
crashing down on us
ooh, let 'em crash
oh, let 'em crash
and I don't care what they may say
we're all beautiful in every single way we could be
no need to rush things baby
but that don't mean we have to settle down
those waves will crash down on us someday
I think we better learn to swim so we don't drown
so we don't drown
so we don't drown
so we don't drown
so send me a messenger bird
I heard they're thinning out the hear
blades
blades
cutting up the family tree
guess that means I'll lead us to safety
and we can just learn to live in trees
waves
waves
crashing down on me
ooooh
let 'em crash
this ain't no final stand
we're just living in a land
that looks like a cartoon
but we aren't doomed
we just need to look god in the eye
and say "okay, I've had enough"
oh
crashing down on me

Crystalline
05:33
|

I am feeling crystalline
in my life
way down deep inside
I am feeling crystalline
well my friends I think I've gone a little bit insane
trying to figure out the game we play
with ourselves and everyone
well I've heard it can be fun
but I just wanna run
I tried making my own rules
but got caught by the horns of the bull
and now I'm feeling like a fool
oh what's the point
but I'm feeling just fine
even though I'm breathing fire
I am feeling feeling crystallized
in my life
I'm feeling just fine
I'm feeling crystalline
so tell me what's the point of trying
if it only leads to crying
and why bother holding someone else
when you can barely hang onto yourself
I wonder why and shake my head
because so many wind up dead
just trying to survive
oh has the world gone mad
or is this someone's master plan
to enslave the entire human race
man, I think I'd rather live in space
and I am feeling just fine
even though I'm hanging on a wire
I am feeling crystallized
in my life
I'm feeling just fine
I'm feeling crystalline
No, I will not step aside
or think of suicide
tell me to step in line
and I'll tell you to get a life
'cuz I'm feeling fine
I'm feeling crystalline
I'm feeling crystalline
and everything will be just fine
in my life
I'm feeling crystalline
I'm feeling just fine

Have Heart
04:36
|
|||
well I heard you talking the other day
about the heroes of the past
with their sword and shields
and guns bombs
and how these never last
so you killed a man
to save your land
well tell me what have you won
it's always been this way
we miss the lessons in what we have done
but I see
it all so clearly
the world is falling part
what will you do, have heart
I just want to change the world
and give it all I can
this world is ours to have and hold
but there is no second chance
but we don't have to face it alone
come here and take my hand
the world is on fire
with so many things
these fascists
and their weapon
evil men who would stand to kill
everyone in their path
oh we must stop the killing now
before it gets too late
when they do
come for you
I hope you know what to do
I just want to see
everyone come together
and I see it all
so clearly
the world is falling apart
what will you do, have heart
I just want to change the world
and give it all I can
but we don't have to face it alone
come here and take my hand
I just want to change the world
and give it all I can

Lighthouse
04:05
|

I am living in a lighthouse
shoreline is too close
waves turn into white
ships pass me by
life is not what it seems
by the seaside, I know
calling me through my dreams
back to my home beneath the waves
I wanna go beneath the depths again
where I belong
the tide is pulling me home
and I must go
I am living in a lighthouse
shoreline is too close
waves turn into white
ships pass me by
over the undertow
down where I must go below
the waves are calling my name
in my dreams
mysteries of the deep
vessels pass me
day by day
I've got nothing to say
waiting for the storm's call
and the waves
woah-oh-woah-oh-oh
I am living in a lighthouse
shoreline is too close
waves turn into white
ships pass me by
life is not what it seems
down here by the seaside
I feel it with my body
but barely see it with my eyes
deep blue rushes
of passion and lovin'
are calling me home
beneath the waves
beneath the waves
the tide is pulling at my soul
I am living in a lighthouse

DKYD/DDKY
06:39

sunset is another morning
last night's party was a running joke
surprised that we're still
drinking the past
and choking on ancient smoke
what are the good times anyway
and how are they different than any other day
sunrise is another evening
some signs of life returning again
I bet this won't come with warning
I bet this life will never last
what are good times, bad times
why are there wrong signs and right signs
don't kill yourself dying
don't die killing yourself
death like this isn't worth trying
you're better off on your own
just being yourself
sunshine is filling this room
some signs of life returning again
but soon the moonlight will be in full bloom
and then might darkness be in the wind
what are good times, bad times
how are they different from any other day
I don't know but I say
don't kill yourself dying
don't die killing yourself
death like this isn't worth trying
you're better off on your own
just being yourself
what are the good times anyway

Don't Be Afraid
03:47
|
|||
I've been wondering
is there more to this
than we can see
I think I've seen it in a dream
seen it in a dream
before this
life
I was someone else
now I'm just myself
once again
they've turned off all the lights
and I know
they don't want us to see
but what we don't see
this'll change everything
they are us
I think I've seen it in a dream
a new reality
that we've never seen
can you decide
for yourself
anymore
I wish
that the Earth was closer still
to me
but I'll never be home here
see home is a place
they never told you about
you've been there
you've been there before
and I don't wanna talk about the things that you like
I don't wanna talk about the things that we hate
I just wanna know
are you there
are you there
are you there
are you there
I think that we
can do so much better
just wait and see
the brand new day is coming
don't be afraid it's alright
don't be afraid, it's alright
it's alright

Ohio
05:04
|

do you hear that sound
rising through the treetops
high above the cities
floating over parking lots
and oh what a sight to see
wish I could show you everything
lonely kids in flannel
just trying to figure it out
without leaving a trace
without leaving a trace
In Ohio I carved our names into a tree
over hills and streams chasing after dreams
is it really different here
from anywhere else
I guess you'd never know
if you never leave
summer means swimming or riding roller coasters
we'll take a hayride in the fall
and then we'll go out to the outlet mall
winter is for lovers
guess I'd better find one soon
and in spring I'll talk of leaving
but you know I never do
in Ohio I carved our names into a tree
over hills and streams we are chasing after dreams
the corn is overgrown secrets seldom shown
where your heart is your true home
oh-oh-Ohio
it's hard to put into words
the magic that I heard
from every band that played in a basement
or all the late conversations
involving back roads
and all night diners
the roads out here
all whisper the dirty rivers secrets
follow it down to the queen city
and maybe you'll find yourself
in Ohio my love is in the breeze
and if I die tonight I might become a tree
in Ohio carve your name into me
we'll go over hills and streams and chasing after dreams
in Ohio my love is in the breeze
and if I die tonight I might become a tree
in Ohio I carved our names into a tree
we'll go over hills and streams chasing after dreams
