You've got one thing, I've got another I'm thinking maybe we should help each other Work a little less, make a little more What else is it for? You're either dying young or living to be poor When we get traction, you'll see what I mean Lower those shields, turn on that tractor beam Move a little less, float a little more Don't say you're unsure You're either on this cruise or swimming to the shore Stars are burning all of the time You're no black hole cuz I can feel you just fine I can feel you, I can hear you My sun never sets when I am near you

The Spins 04:06
The room is full already But there’s people walking in Eyes seem so unsteady like There’s no more room in here Feel the friction, feel it set in Now the floor is bending Losing focus, we’re so heavy Or are we just pretending No one wants to slow down But there’s no more room in here Out of our control now Screaming from the ceiling A sea of faceless faces Frantic but they feel it So we might as well embrace it Through the smoke and mirrors I finally find you near me But all my screams are whispers And there’s no way you’ll hear me No one wants to slow down But there’s no more room in here Out of our control now The rabbit I’ve been chasing Don’t know why I thought it was real Lights on, the room is empty Don’t know why I thought I’d see you

I say the words, they float away They don’t hold much weight Cuz what they mean doesn’t show You better let them go Or they will let you down The fire falls Pillar of salt I close the door and breath out Don’t forget the in, keep walking The neighbors fight, scream and shout There’s no way they hear me talking To myself or when I swear For no good fucking reason at you I hate the look that you wear when you’re about to cry The fire falls Pillar of salt Here’s my name on the card that Ohio gave me For getting older keeping track of Where I live down the road around town for 30 years I’ve only had like five addresses My fingerprints on a bottle of beer, like my 3rd one I’ve got the credit bill to prove it I don’t know the person Who’s in the mirror The fire falls Pillar of salt

Voices (v2) 04:00
Two talking heads tugging on our strings. Marionettes learning how to sing. You must be afraid You must not engage Voices in your head We go to bed, they're in our sheets. They're over your shoulder and under your feet. You must be afraid Of all we have made Voices in your head You must be afraid You must not engage You must be afraid Voices in your head

It's a Crime 03:52
Feeling the itch of a small town I guess tonight I'm gonna run around I was trying to hold out Like a politician waiting for his next payout A couple calls, a couple messages and I'm possessing it, I'm running low There's a lot on the line they take your money and time No one knows, no one knows We get so low and we haven't hit the bottom yet And no one knows That I'm feeling like there's no doing right I know they're taking over, it's a crime And I feel alive when I do what I like I know they're building an explosion, say goodbye Just read the news on the Internet, remember to pay the rent, and there's all the evidence you're just surviving We didn't make it, we're given it And I am struggling with tons of it you're working for none of it I think it's time that I slow it down Working days always gets me down About that time to be walking I can see your lips but I can't hear you talking We get so low and we haven't hit the bottom yet And no one knows this is not a bottomless pit And no one knows That I'm feeling like there's no doing right I know they're taking over, it's a crime And I feel alive when I do what I like I know they're building an explosion, say goodbye By Chris Hartman

Keep It On 04:04
Breathing in and breathing out Take it all in, don’t stop now Time was always running out But now it’s running over you Feel the rush, endorphins rise Nothing matters, open eyes Remember rhythm is inside Forget the chaos in my mind Needing nothing to keep on moving on Except my car with the radio on I’m letting the music turn me on Needing nothing to let go. Keep it on! The pain in my heart is finally gone I know this moment won’t last for long It turns me on, keep it on! Feeling heavy, sinking in They’re throwing bombs and battling I’m tired of the war within Between the voices underneath my skin Breathing in, the stars will rise Nothing matters open eyes Breathing out, rhythm inside Forget the chaos in my mind Needing nothing to keep on moving on Except my car with the radio on I’m letting the music turn me on Needing nothing to let go. Keep it on! The pain in my heart is finally gone I know this moment won’t last for long It turns me on, keep it on! Breathing in and breathing out Take it all in, don’t stop now Time was always running out But now it’s running over you Needing nothing to keep on moving on Except my car with the radio on I’m letting the music turn me on Needing nothing to let go. Keep it on! The pain in my heart is finally gone I know this moment won’t last for long It turns me on, keep it on!

Tricked 04:30
Get up this morning, throw on my skin Don’t talk about it, out as quick as I am in Go out to lunch, eyes on my phone The subtle art of blending in, standing out, and being alone The more I think, the less I know The right way to let it go Got your eye on any? Yeah, over there Serving coffee, pink shirt and blonde hair But it’s not worth trying, we’d never get along I can’t stomach anything that’s too bitter or too strong The more I think, the less I know The right way to let it go I’m not broken but I’m not fixed You’re getting better, I’m getting tricked Driving home at the end of the day You’re riding shotgun, in the back are my mistakes The day’s not over cuz I'm still awake Go to the basement, put my thoughts on display When I think about it, how we barely spoke But the house was spotless, and you folded my clothes Now I’m dumping laundry baskets out onto the floor And I can’t see the carpet, I don’t open blinds anymore The more I think, the less I know The right way to let it go I’m not broken but I’m not fixed You’re getting better, I’m getting tricked
