Track Name: Intro
there is a sickness in all of us
but don't get confused with disease
i have a cure for you
it only works if you want it to...yea, yea.

it's the only way i'll take you back.
Track Name: Tristum
i look with arms crossed and an eyebrow pointing up
and i woke in this state so unlike myself

in these halls and in my dreams
i think things beyond comparing

it's a bridge that can't be crossed
it's like a love that won't be lost
it's a shirt that can't be worn
it's like a world that won't be torn

this feeling's a lie, it tricked my eyes
it makes me think the sky is ground
now i'm upside down
you can't rush wisdom
it always occurs an awkward verse
from your mouth

i know it's important to
experience both sides

it's a girl that turns you on
it's learning to say so long
it's a father who lets you know
it's a mother who let's you go

when will i find something that i can grasp
something that won't break when i hold it
because all these things are abstract
but can be worn down
and talked about over and over
i know i have bigger things to worry about
but i can't keep you off my mind
it's not my style to let it slide

it's not your fault
it's not your fault
it's a girl that turns you on
it's learning to say so long
it's a father who lets you know
it's a mother who lets you go
Track Name: Jack Bauer Power Hour
i'm trapped with no way out
what do i do, what do i do
i've got these gadgets to help me out
what do i do, what do i do
there's nowhere to go
with all my brains and all my strength
i guess i didn't act fast enough
there's gotta be a way out

sign this now, sign this right now
you'll get immunity

i don't believe anything you say
so pardon me, but get away
there's traps and tunnels
and big-eyed guards
so pardon me, but there's a lot at stake
there's gotta be a way out

sign this now, sign this right now
you'll get immunity

calling for help
abort mission, abort mission
i've got the files in a bag
come get me

i guess i didn't act fast enough
i know i didn't act fast enough
there's gotta be a way out

sign this now, sign this right now
you'll get immunity
Track Name: Scuffed Knees and Climbing Trees
there were times when i was young
nothing ever seemed wrong
i wish i could have those feelings now
try to get them back somehow
there were times when i was bold
i was either bought or sold
i wish i could turn back time
i need to hit rewind

never be satisfied
we try and try and try

something's got to give
i fell with such delight
another one's gonna fall
i fell with such delight
i'll never learn
something's got to give
i fell with such delight

things won't be like they were
i've geared myself up to unlearn
scuffed knees and climbing trees
that's all that matters to me

the price of my days have changed

never be satisfied
we try and try and try
i'm waiting for nothing
i'm waiting for nothing

something's got to give
i fell with such delight
another one's gonna fall
i fell with such delight
i'll never learn
something's got to give
i fell with such delight
Track Name: It's So Sad
there might have been
something in the water there
i am unclear
of whatever it was i feared
a combination of
nerves and hopes with dreams of love
it's so sad
to think of what i could have had

i never can tell how this works
it's so sad
i never can tell how this works
and it's so sad

i never asked for much did i?
i just wanted you to realize
to read between the lines
i got the memo
never gonna shadow
what i got to offer
there's a report
i've fallen to short
adjust to this size

i never can tell how this works
it's so sad
i never can tell how this works
and it's so sad

the sand in my toes
the salt in my mouth
the sun on my back
and water all around
these are all good things
but it's too bad
cause' it's so sad

i never can tell
i never can tell
it's so sad
i never can tell
i never can tell
and it's so sad
Track Name: Manners
in the lie
an oversight
what's to denote
what's to decode

don't let creation pass you by
i know i've been missing it

hey, i got left behind
no one said anything
they were just gone
and i don't understand

don't hit people
play fair
share everything
clean up your own mess
wash your hands before you eat

hey, i got left behind
no one said anything
they were just gone
and i don't understand

don't hit people
play fair
share everything
put things back where you found them
clean up your own mess
don't take things that aren't yours
say you're sorry when you hurt somebody
live a balanced life
learn some, and think some
draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work
everyday

uncommon thoughts on common things
i'm in a rut
Track Name: Icepick
i can imagine your face
it doesn't like what i'm saying
you know what you're missing is love
scrape off the fear and go

i don't know why you're so cold
i don't know how i'll ever let you go

i can remember your face
i meant every word i said
you know what you're missing is love
scrape off the fear and go

i don't know why you're so cold
i don't know how i'll ever let you go

ever let you go...
how will i decide
if it's now i might...
ever let you go

i don't know why you're so icy inside
i'd rather melt you down than deal with frostbite

i don't know why you're so cold
i don't know how i'll ever let you go

wrapping my brain around things
never mind what it means
but it's all telling me i'll never
ever let you go
ever ever ever

i need an ice pick for your mind
i'll chip away your icy cold disguise
when will you melt
i hope you thaw somehow
Track Name: Expiration Date
there's a major issue that's burning in my mind
(you are powerless)
it doesn't make sense to keep churning
thoughts that will expire
(you won't figure this out)
there's something i need to tell you
before my thoughts go bad
you're hanging heavy over my head

i'm more myself with you around, you around
i don't understand
you run away, you run away

there's major tension building in my arms
(you can't carry this)
it only makes sense if you're learning, but i'm not
(you won't figure this out)
i need to be offensive for you to notice me
what's that?
(she won't notice you ever)
there's something i need to tell you
it's been a long time now
i hope you're ready to know

i'm more myself with you around, you around
and i don't know why you run away, you run away

i'll probably confess it all when i'm drinking
i've only got courage when i'm thinking
oh no...
i'll probably confess it all when i'm drinking
i've only got courage when i'm thinking
yea, i'll probably confess it all when i'm drinking...
Track Name: Gruve Technick
i am your master now sing for me
i'm not entertained, i'm not entertained
now sing for me

yea, but i am a human being
and i know that i was born free

i am your master now dance for me
i wanna watch your hips move and lips sync

oh yea, but i am a human being
and i know that i was born free

i know that, i know that, i know that
we're all born free
cause' i am a human being
don't you see i'm already...
no one owns me
i sing for myself
no one owns me
no one owns me
Track Name: Breakage
this is a dirty business for me and i don't care at all
because when you're a dead man
you've got nothing to lose and you won't
pin this on me

you won't pin this on me

i have a respect for the chemistry
i just rationalize to make things not seem
like i make poison for money, for money

i make poison for money

for money
you won't pin this on me

you won't pin this on me
Track Name: Constellations
i never believed in coincidence
it just doesn't suit me
so when i get to doubting i become dissolute
in mind and not actions

i collide like stars in the sky
no constellations just randomness
chaos and no order at all

i always believed in love
it always eludes me
so when i get to thinking of you
absolute control is gone

i collide like stars in the sky
no constellations just randomness
chaos and no order at all

life has a funny symmetry at times
there's too many things that are alike
too many things that combine
there's too many things that i can find
that make things just right
i can't deny

i collide like stars in the sky
no constellations just randomness
chaos and no order at all
at all, at all, at all....
Track Name: It Works If You Want It To
i never thought that you could make such an impression on me
it's something i'm trying to forget
if anything i just want the feeling to stop

i want to be wanted like you
and i want to feel wanted like you

since you've been gone i've reverted to old habits
it's not exactly what i had in mind
for the next stage of my life
i guess i always thought i had more time with you

i want to be wanted like you
and i want to feel wanted like you

it's just bad timing
it's not worth the risk
it's just not worth it

oh god when will this be over
let me forget all about this and move on

you're a deception
i never know if you're there
you're a deception
i never know if you care
you're a deception
you're an infection
i have a cure for you
you're an infection
it works if you want it to
you're an infection

it only works if you want it to
and i won't try to make you mine anymore
it only works if you want it to
Track Name: Sweetness In the Burn
you've done it now
oh my god
i'm not sure why i put up with you
we're so incredibly screwed
i need you now to come through this time
i'm losing my mind
i'm suffering on the inside
now it's moving to my outsides

there is a shadow of doubt that clings to us all

me and myself are in trouble again
where do i begin...

there is a shadow of doubt that clings to us all
i vie for your attention

there's no one in this life
that i would rather see
and it hurts me to know
just how far i would go
i came alive with time
fell in love and died
but there's a sweetness in the burn
because it makes you heal and learn

there is a shadow of doubt that clings to us all
i vie for your attention
your affection
your attention
what are your intentions
Track Name: Prey
nano robots programmed as predators
and we're the prey, they're evolving fast
the swarms can't survive in the wind
the swarms can't survive
the swarms won't survive in the wind
this will keep you alive

don't let me get infected
it's dangerous

so send it away
out to play
this is the reckoning of
the first sing of pain

thermite can fend them off
it's not enough
need to find the hive
destroy them all
we just can't rely on the wind
there's another strand
we just can't rely in the wind
the swarms can stand

don't let me get infected
it's dangerous

so send it away
out to play
this is the reckoning of
the first sign of pain

M.R.I.

chemical anomaly creates a phage
we need this so bad
this could be the end of the age

don't let me get infected

send it away
out to play
this is the reckoning of
the first sign of...
pain, send it away
send it away
send it away

M.R.I.
Track Name: Weisst Du Was Das Bedeutet
ich habe rauchen angefangen
nur so kann ich sagen
muss ich aufgeben

du gehst nicht so weit
was auch immer
na ja das beschreibt dich gut

ich habe kunstwerk geschaffen
um zu es zerstoeren
weisst du was das bedeutet

du gehst nicht so weit
was auch immer
na ja das beschreibt dich gut

wenn ich kann nicht mehr nehmen
du ruf mich an
ich kann nicht zurueck gehen

du gehst nicht so weit
was auch immer
na ja das beschreibt dich gut

ich hab ein kunstwerk geschaffen
um zu es zerstoeren
Track Name: Across the Seam
you cancer me honest like you shouldn't
and i'm letting you high
most people don't always get what they want
you know they're better on
lately i find that i'm making no sense at all

i won't tell you lies
if they aren't true
i won't bring the fight, yea
unless it's to you

you reply dishonest like you should
and now you're giving me down (down, down...)
i never wanted to be cruel
but you're better turned off

i won't sell you lies
unless they have value
i won't bring the fight, yea
unless it's to you

i see things tearing at the seam
i see things tearing across the seam
there's no better outcome than through me
