Scream in the cold night air,
Expecting a response
Echoes rattle my brain
And leave me hanging on
Try as I may to get my point across
Al ways fall short and it winds up a loss
Over and over and over again
But it’s all done in vain
I don’t think that you’re hearing me
I don’t think that you’re hearing me at all
Talk and talk
Until my face is turning blue
Pretend these scattered reflections
Are words spoken by you
Try as I may to get my point across
Al ways fall short and it winds up a loss
Over and over and over again
But it’s all done in vain
I don’t think that you’re hearing me
I don’t think that you’re hearing me at all
Counting all the wasted hours
As they slip away
All the thoughts and every word
Just flush it on down….

The Middle
03:35
|
|||
|
Caught between the worlds of what I need and how I feel
Logic tells me to ignore what fear is telling me is real
Every now and then I feel the pull from either side
Sometimes I paint an artful compromise
Sometimes I just run and hide
And I’m caught here in the middle, fighting for survival
Barely hanging on
I should do like you do, ignore the world around you
Make it up as you go along
Good and evil, good and evil, a battle for the times
No matter where I stand it always seems I’m caught behind enemy lines
I surrender, I surrender, arms up in the air
Somebody come and capture me before there’s no life left to save
And I’m caught here in the middle, fighting for survival
Barely hanging on
I should do like you do, ignore the world around you
Make it up as you go along
I try to walk the line, but sometimes you just have to step across
Pick a side and leave behind the things you think you might have lost
Win or lose you have to choose and live with what you've done
Whether you never tried and died inside, or if you won….
And I’m caught here in the middle, fighting for survival
Barely hanging on
I should do like you do, ignore the world around you
Make it up as you go along

Model Citizen

Televise a million lies, and I don’t care
A growing lack of compromise, and I don’t care
50 million viewers strong, and I don’t care
All these people can’t be wrong, and I don’t care
You did this
Don’t look at me
The less we know, the better off we’ll be
You’re a model citizen, and I don’t care
Wife and kids and happiness, and I don’t care
Picket fence and confidence, and I don’t care
You’ll drown in debt to pay for it, and I don’t care
You did this
Don’t look at me
The less we know, the better of we’ll be

Follow

What if I told you we were facing certain death?
That the end was coming, that the story’s drawing to a close?
Would you just stand there and accept the hand that you’d been dealt?
Or would you keep on moving? Would you go on anyway?
I’ll follow you anywhere you’re going
Into the black and far beyond
Take me to what you've always wanted
And I will be right there hanging on
What if all you loved just up and fell apart?
Would you chase the pieces, try to make them whole again?
Or would you let the scatter, drift off in the wind?
Or would you keep on moving? Would you go on anyway?
I’ll follow you anywhere you’re going
Into the black and far beyond
Take me to what you've always wanted
And I will be right there hanging on

We're All Gonna Drown

I saw the spaceman on the TV, he was staring back at me
The moon reflected in his visor, it was all that I could see
But I could tell that he was lost, and all his hopes were all but gone
I saw the spaceman on the TV, staring back at me
Hold on now, just hold on
In spite of everything, in spite of all you know
Hold on now, just hold on
In spite of everything….
We’re all gonna drown
Drifting out across the ocean, bobbing on the passing waves
Slowly dying in the sunshine, not a drop to drink for days
But I could tell that I was lost, and all my hopes were all but gone
Drifting out across the ocean, bobbing on the waves
Hold on now, just hold on
In spite of everything, in spite of all you know
Hold on now, just hold on
In spite of everything….
We’re all gonna drown

Hi-Bye

We may need a short vacation, we may need a break
We may need a moment to ourselves
We may have a very, very short attention span
‘cause you can only try try try and try try try for so long
Hello and goodbye
Good day and goodnight
Time to be on your way now
Seems like we've been waiting here at least an hour or two
But the clock tells me that just a moment’s passed
Eternity eternity. The boredom gets to us
And we don’t have the time to stand here anymore
Hello and goodbye
Good day and goodnight
Time to be on your way now
We will never understand the things you do
The uninspiring displays you put us through
You say we have no self-esteem, Well guess what?
We don’t believe that’s true
We may need a short vacation, we may need a break
We may need a moment to ourselves
Hello and goodbye
Good day and goodnight
Time to be on your way now

Pins and Needles
03:37

I live my life in a magazine
I pick it up and I live a dream
Seeing everything I want
Hating all the shit I've got
Pins and needles
I feel it, yes I feel it
Oh, the old familiar feeling, tearing out my soul
Sing hallelujah. Praise God! Praise God?! God dammit!
Oh, but he aint listening, he aint listening anymore
Puttin down the magazine
Movin on to another scene
Time to fuck up something new
So I just set my sights on you
Pins and needles
I feel it, yes I feel it
Oh, the old familiar feeling, tearing out my soul
Sing hallelujah. Praise God! Praise God?! God dammit!
Oh, but he aint listening, he aint listening anymore

Not Waiting

Hanging on so tight, you start to strangle out the life
Digging in so deep, you set the stage for self-defeat
Are you feeling proud because you’re on the TV now?
Are you feeling proud?
There’s blood in the water so drink it down
Everyone knows not to talk about
It’s hard to believe, but there aint no doubt
Do you believe?
Hanging on so tight, you start to strangle out the life
Digging in so deep, you set the stage for self-defeat
Are you feeling proud because you’re on the TV now?
Are you feeling proud?
There’s blood in the water so drink it down
Everyone knows not to talk about
It’s hard to believe, but there aint no doubt
Do you believe?
I’m not waiting anymore, for you to change your mind
I’m not waiting anymore, for you to waste my time
I don’t have the patience for your wild imagination
Oh no, I’m not waiting anymore

Life On Hold
03:37
|

|
Sometimes you start to drift out of touch
It makes you hate the world so much
Desperate, you try to take control
Only to find there’s nothing left to hold on to
And it’s like your life’s on hold
And you never even bothered picking up the telephone
And it seems to me
Sooner or later you’re gonna have to let it be
The sun’s out, time to get out of bed
Or do I lie right here instead?
The phone rings, see who’s on the other end
Time to hit the street again
And it’s like your life’s on hold
And you never even bothered picking up the telephone
And it seems to me
Sooner or later you’re gonna have to let it be

Avalanche
03:19
|

You see the problem with an avalanche is that it has to hit the bottom
Before it finally comes to a complete stop
And it can never ever climb back up the hill
It can only stare across the snow and
Survey the wreckage left there in its wake
I am an avalanche, and I’m taking all of you down
And everything will seem so calm and still, so pure and white
That you would never ever think that disaster’s on the way
But once you settle in and let your guard down
To calmly take a breath of relief
I will level you and leave you there alone
I am an avalanche, and I’m taking all of you down
