Aimless
05:04

I keep on trying
But I never seem to find the answers
I know you think that I should stay
And live my life like all the others
But this dead-end job is going nowhere
And I feel I should be out there
So when I leave no turning back
'Cause there's got to be something better
Something better
I'll take my chances
Do it my way
Living free
Out on the highway
I'd rather search around this world
For anything it has to offer
And though it may seem kinda aimless
This is not what I call living
So call me selfish
Call me lazy
Call me childish
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
I'm on a journey with a new destination
I'm on a mission for my own revelation
And all I know is that I need more reflection
So call it what you will, a permanent vacation
I'll pack my bags and hit the road
With nothing but my sense of longing
Leave all my doubts
Leave all my debt
Hell why not leave all of my belongings
And though it may seem kinda aimless
This not what I call living
So call me selfish
Call me lazy
Call me childish
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
I'm on a journey with a new destination
I'm on a mission for my own revelation
And all I know is that I need more reflection
So call it what you will, a permanent vacation

End Of The Street

Here's a picture of my new wife
Take a look at my precious child
What do you think of the new house
Mines the one with the view of the city life
Take a spin in my new ride
It's fully loaded and 4-wheel drive
I have it all and I'm doing fine
I'll be in debt until the end of my life
'Cause I'm just like you
Livin' out my dreams
Make my way from scene to scene
There's nothing new for you to see
Another sheep at the end of the street
Keepin' up with the Joneses
I mow my lawn in a suit and tie
I gotta better
I gotta look wise
I gotta seem like I'm doin' alright
Wake up at 5 to hit the grind
A cup of coffee for traffic at 9
It seems unlikely that I'm living a lie
So I'll play this game until the end of my time
'Cause I'm just like you
Livin' out my dreams
Make my way from scene to scene
There's nothing new for you to see
Another sheep at the end of the street
We're all living in a social ocean
Everybody's going through the motion
So we believe
And we pretend
It's how to live so it never ends
'Cause I'm just like you
Livin' out my dreams
Make my way from scene to scene
There's nothing new for you to see
Another sheep at the end of the street...

Away From This Mess
03:43

Pick yourself up off the ground
Get yourself out of this place
Breathe in the air
Take a walk around
Point yourself toward a brand new day
Tomorrow could be different
Or it could be more of the same
Stop the excuses
Make that change
Believe in yourself to find a better way
A way to your freedom
A way to your bliss
A way to your inner peace
Away from this mess
No one else for you to blame
No need for blame at all
Just change the game
Change your mind
Open yourself to a new way of life
It's all a matter of mind over matter
Just keep your eye on that prize
Pick up the pace
Never let it fade
Don't let the bad thoughts get in the way of
The way to your freedom
The way to your bliss
The way to your inner peace
Away from this mess

Nostalgia's Sake
04:52
|

I used to get out and about
Roamed these streets on rollerblades
Guitar on my back, long-ass hair
And not a care for yesterdays
I remember starting my first rock band
We stayed up and jammed 'til 4am
We thought we had it all figured out
And life would always be the same
Well I miss that old apartment man
That place sure was a killer pad
It was cheap just like the beer we drank
But more than just a place to crash
I often think about those times we had
And how to get those feelings back once again
I really wish there was an easy way
To live life like we did back then
If I could go back to those days
Knowing what I know today
I wouldn't change a goddamn thing
I'd keep it all just the same
For nostalgia's sake
All those times we shared at Eagle Ridge
We could really see it from there
Hell, cement city never looked so good
As when living close to Fry Street Fair
It was a time when we all needed change
So the music broke out and it was so raw
It was much more than your average twang
And so much more than radio pop
It was then that we all realized
That this town woke up and it came alive
With a new attitude and mental vibe
Another party every night
With a life so open and a life so free
With everything we'd ever need
Nothing would ever make me believe
That this time would pass eventually
If I could go back to those days
Knowing what I know today
I wouldn't change a goddamn thing
I'd keep it all just the same
For nostalgia's sake

Change

In the spring when things come alive
All is blooming in a sea of sunrise
It's all around we cannot deny
The choice is ours if it lives or it dies
We need to ask the harder questions
Will we embrace the next generation
Before the fall it has begun
Before it all comes undone
It's up to us if we want to try
But only if we open our eyes
It's time for all to realize
This world is calling for change
Our hopes are still out there waiting
We keep repeating our broken ways
Will we not learn from our mistakes
We need to see this moment in time
As a time to heal no time to unwind
A time to wake our sleeping minds
Before we lose our fragile lives
We keep fighting ourselves and always losing
They have us trapped in a state of dillusion
We are so blind to our own destruction
And our right to choose us just an illusion
This world is begging for change
Our hopes are still out there waiting
We keep repeating our broken ways
We never learn from our mistakes
We never learn from our mistakes
We never learn
When will we ever learn

When It's Too Late
05:09
|

So long
Moving on
Saying goodbye never felt so right
I wish you nothing but the best that you could ever hope to find
Perhaps in another life
Objects in the mirror are much smaller than they once appeared
You should be happy now that we're through
So pack up all your crap for some other dude
Cause when you're gone you can look back on
The time you learned what not to do
When it's too late
And when you're gone you can look back on
But you won't find me in the wake
Cause it's too late
And when you're gone you can look back on but
It's too late
Too many times
Oh how I've tried
To make this work and to make it last
Instead of changing you stayed the same
Cause all you ever do is remind me of the past
So put on a show
Act all surprised
But that look in your face tells me the truth from a lie
And though I'd love to stay here and chat
I've got bigger plans
So that's that
Cause when you're gone you can look back on
The time you learned what not to do
When it's too late
But you won't find me in the wake
Cause it's too late
And when you're gone you can look back on but
It's too late

Pseudoscience
04:09
|

You claim to have second sight and it's guiding your way
Gemini in the sky determines your fate
And all of these lies about the skies have been uncovered
Yet we try to religionize each other
So we label our gods as we see fit
And we hold on to the claims of a prophet
Won't you tell me my lucky number
What do my palms have to offer
Pseudoscience makes no difference in my life with real decisions
Pseudoscience makes no difference in my life with consequences
Religion does nothing but to foster hate
So who does your preacher wish to exonerate
The answers you feed on are written in ink
So you kneel by your bed beg and plead for forgiveness
And you vote for the people of your faith
Cause you believe that they'll do everything that they say
Of course you can exercise your right to believe
But your preacher can't exorcise your demons and fiends
Pseudoscience makes no difference in my life of independence
Pseudoscience makes no difference in my life without religion
Pseudoscience
Pseudoscience
Pseudoscience
Pseudoscience

Fly
04:24
|

Tried to laugh and little and I tried to cry
But I just couldn't get it to come out
So I might decide to get high for tonight
And just fly
I feel like I just need some time
To chill out relax unravel unwind
Anxiety is starting to grind
Depression's always waiting in line
It knows how to find me
It defines me and it controls my life
Just take a look and you will see
In between the clouds of green
Too far to run
Too high to climb
Too deep to swim
Better to fly
Trapped at home
Secluded alone
We spent two years getting used to it all
The lonely glow from our social phones
Breaking down our social norms
And our loss of hope
With nowhere to go
Sometimes we need to drift away
And change the way we look at things
From a different space
Some other place
Outside ourselves and our mental state of every day
When it's all the same
Just take a look and you will see
In between the clouds of green
Too far to run
Too high to climb
Too deep to swim
Better to fly
Tried to laugh and little and I tried to cry
But I just couldn't get it to come out
So I might decide to get high for tonight
And just fly
Just fly away

Reality
04:16

Say anything
It doesn't matter what you believe
The world is sleeping now
They're all living in a dream
The words you say are true
But nobody's listening
Even if it's loud and clear
They just want to disagree
Reality is weighing down on me
You tried to pull me into your fantasies
But in the end the only thing we see
Are the differences between you and me
So here I am
I am not your enemy
I'm so tired of fighting
And this pointless bickering
Divide this coutry
Break up our families
Just draw the line
And we'll take our leave
Reality is weighing down on me
You tried to pull me into your fantasies
But in the end the only thing we see
Are the differences between you and me
If I am woke
Then you're asleep
It really is that easy
Can't you see
The lie you're living in
Is a path to misery
There is no clarity
When you're a slave to your beliefs
Reality is weighing down on me
You tried to pull me into your fantasies
But in the end the only thing we see
Are the differences between you and me

Out of Sight Out of Mind
05:45
|

No longer contain
This silent rage
Although they'd like to see us enslaved
No longer obey
We'll no longer play
All these stupid little twisted games
They want to control us
And they want to own us
As if they have the right to your claim
Break down our hopes
Afraid of your votes
They'll never stop until they've bought up everything
Out of money
Out of time
Out of water
Out of wine
Out of passion
And the will to survive
Out of sight
Out of mind
They'll take it all
And leave you behind
They really don't care if you live or if you die
Watching and spying to keep us buying
Politicians are paid to keep us in line
Keep us blind
And keep confined to silence
They keep us working for longer hours
For wages lower than life requires
They want you to struggle just to get by
The prosperity for which you seek
Was never about the things you need
When money is the thing you need
They want you to think it's generosity
That pays your way and keeps you leaving
But why would they care from a yacht in the middle of the sea
(Why would they fucking care)
Out of money
Out of time
Out of water
Out of wine
Out of passion
And the will to survive
Out of sight
Out of mind
They'll take it all
And leave you behind
They really don't care if you live or if you die
