to moonnn6pence from shootingstar
There's a fracture in the color bar In the backseat of a parked car By the liquor store where the streetlight Keep you company 'til the next night In the same town, there's the same scar In the same glow of the liquor store By the freeway, where the headlight Keep her company 'til the next night Oh! Gravity. Why can't we seem to keep it together? Sons of my enemies, Why can't we seem to keep it together? In the back room of the Pentagon There's a thin man with a line drawn With a red jaw and a red bite Watch the headline on the next night Why this tragedy? Why can't we seem to keep it together? In the fallout, the fallout We found out the hype won't get you through We're connected, connected I meant it, the hype won't get you through |

When success is equated with excess
The ambition for excess wrecks us When top of the mind becomes the bottom line When success is equated with excess If you're time ain't be nothing for money I start to feel really bad for you honey Maybe honey put you're money where your mouth's been running If you're time ain't be nothing but money I want out of this machine It doesn't feel like freedom (chorus) This ain't my American dream I want to live and die for bigger things I'm tired of fighting for just me This ain't my American dream When success is equated with excess When we're fighting for the beamer, the lexus As the heart and soul breathing the company goals Where success is equated with excess I want out of this machine It doesn't feel like freedom (chorus) Cause baby's always talkin ‘bout a ring And talk has always been the cheapest thing Is it true would you do what I want you to If I show up with the right amount of bling? Like a puppet on a monetary string Maybe we've been caught singing red, white, blue, and green But that ain't my America, That ain't my American dream (chorus) |

Please don't be so naive
You know you're not fooling anyone You're not as tough as you think With dirty second hands, dirty second hands Can't get nothing for free It becomes so predictable You start fighting to breathe The dirty second hands, dirty second hands (chorus) Here's the face of everything that breaks you down Now you face the face of everything that breaks you down With an army of me We invent our own enemies Man verses machine And the dirty second hands, the dirty second hands In the land of the free And the home of the remedy The old clock is a thief With dirty second hands, dirty second hands (chorus) Are you really as tough as you think You blink and you're over the brink You bleed but you're blood runs pink With dirty second hands, dirty second hands You're not quite as tough as you thought You bought the American rot The very seed that you thought you shot With dirty second hands, dirty second hands You might be right, the fight might be right Inside you the blind leading the lied, tonight Maybe you bind you with dirty second hands (chorus) |

Face down with the LA curbside ending
In ones and zeros. Downtown was the perfect place to hide. The first star that I saw last night was a headlight of a man-made sky, but Man-made never made our dreams collide. (chorus) Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain, We're awakening Here we are now with the desperate youth and the pain, We're awakening Maybe it's called ambition, you've been talking in your sleep About a dream, We're awakening Last week found me living for nothing but deadlines, With my dead beat sky but, this town doesn't look the same tonight These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere And I don't know if I've ever felt so alive, alive (chorus) I want to wake up kicking and screaming I want to wake up kicking and screaming I want a heart that I know is beating, It's beating, I'm bleeding. I want to wake up kicking and screaming I want to live like I know what I'm leaving I want a heart that I know is beating, It's beating, I'm bleeding (chorus) |

Another day
Another sunrise Another factory call Another night Another sunset Another freefall Am I alive? Am I on purpose? Within the weakness Within the weakness Spinning out in circles In circles, in circles Spinning out in circles In circles, in circles Another day Another lifetime Another engine stalls Another line Another freeway Another freefall Am I alive? Am I on purpose? Within the weakness Within the weakness Spinning out in circles In circles, in circles Spinning out in circles In circles, in circles In circles, in circles I've lost all that I wanted to leave I've lost all that I wanted to be Don't believe that there's nothing this true Don't believe in this modern machine The modern machine Circles Spinning, Spinning In circles, in circles Spinning out in circles In circles, in circles In circles, in circles |

Everyone I know
Needs love like drugs Like a common cold We could never shrug My baby and me We're missing the same stuff We've all got a disease Deficiency of love Every day we still try Every night we still cry Driving home on the 805 We don't know what we're doing We do it again We're just amateur lovers With amateur friends I can tell you what you're thinking now Before you think that you can settle down We don't know what we're doing Let's do it again You tried to play it down But it never stuck I tried to bail this town I'm getting no such luck When nobody's around I keep my eyes on the clock There ain't a cure I've found In all my times around this block Everyday we still try Every night we still cry Driving home on the 405 We don't know what we're doing We do it again We're just amateur lovers With amateur friends I can tell you what you're thinking now Before you think it you can settle down We don't know what we're doing Let's do it again We don't know what we're doing Let's do it again We're just amateur lovers With amateur friends I can tell you what you're thinking now Before you think it you can settle down Our lovin' isn't gonna burn us out We don't know what we're doing Let's do it again Professional |

This one's about a dream
I had last night How an old man tracked me home And stepped inside Put his foot inside the door And gave a crooked smile Something in his eyes Something in his laugh Something in his voice Made my skin crawl off He said "I've seen you here before I know your name You could have your pick Of pretty things You could have it all Everything at once Everything you've seen Everything you'll need Everything you've ever had in fantasies" "You've one life You've one life You've one life left to leave You've one life You've one life You've one life left to leave." I woke up from my dream As a golden man With a girl I've never seen With Golden skin I jumped up to my feet And she asked me what was wrong And I began to scream I don't think this is me Is this just a dream? Or really happening You've one life You've one life You've one life left to leave You've one life You've one life You've one life left to leave What direction What direction I'm splitting up I'm splitting up This is my personal disaffection What direction What Direction What Direction now I looked outside the glass At golden shores Golden ships and masts With golden cords As my reflection passed I hated what I saw My Golden eyes were dead And a thought passed through my head A heart that's made of gold can't really beat at all I wanted to wake up again I wanted to wake up again Without a touch of gold Without a touch of gold What direction (what direction) What direction (what direction) What direction (what direction) What direction (death or action!) Life begins at the intersection What direction What direction What direction now I woke up as before But the gold was gone My wife was at the door With her night robe on My heart beat once or twice And life flooded my veins Everything had changed My lungs had found their voice And what was once routine Was now the perfect joy You've one life You've one life You've One life left to leave You've one life You've one life You've one life left to lead |

Flowers cut and brought inside
Black cars in a single line Your family in suits and ties And you're free The ache I feel inside Is where the life has left your eyes I'm alone for our last goodbye But you're free I remember you like yesterday Yesterday I still can't believe you're gone Oh I remember you like yesterday Yesterday And until I'm with you, I'll carry on Adrift on your ocean floor I feel weightless numb and sore A part of you and me is torn You're free I woke from a dream last night I dreamt that you were by my side Reminding me I still had life In me I remember you like yesterday Yesterday I still can't believe you're gone Oh I remember you like yesterday Yesterday And until I'm with you, I'll carry on I'll carry on, I'll carry on Every lament is a love song Yesterday, yesterday I still can't believe you're gone Every lament is a love song Yesterday, yesterday So long my friend, so long |

Does it have to start with a broken heart
Broken dreams and bleeding parts We were young and the world was clear But young ambitions disappear I swore it would never come to this The average, the obvious I'm still discontented down here I'm still discontented If we only got one try If we've only got one life If time was never on our side Then before I die I want to burn out bright A spark ignites In time and space Limping through this human race You bite and claw your way back home But you're running the wrong way The future is a question mark Of kerosene and electric sparks There's still fire in you yet Yeah there's still fire in you! If we only got one try If we've only got one life If time was never on our side Before I die I want to burn out bright I keep cleaning up the mess I've made I keep cleaning up the mess I've made I won't run away I can't sleep in the bed I've made I can't sleep in the bed I've made If we only got one try If we've only got one life If time was never on our side Before I die I want to burn out bright |

You've been having trouble staying asleep
You been waking up at 4:12 You roll the voices over in your head And you try to put them neatly on the shelf You watch the sun rise Saw the darkness had no choice before the dawn With your own eyes And then you broke out laughing from a yawn I'm so sorry I've been so down I started doubting things could ever turn around And I began to believe that all we are is material It's nonsensical So you walk outside and everything's new You're looking at the world with new eyes As if you'd never seen the sky before this blue As if you've never seen the sky in your whole life And then the phone rings As it turns out you are already late And now you're wondering Is peace just a temporary state? Waiting tables and parking cars You've been selling cell phones at the shopping mall And you began to believe that all we are is material It's nonsensical I'm so sorry I've been so down I started doubting things could ever turn around But I still can't believe that all we are And that all of our dreams are nothing more than material Souls aren't built of stone, sticks, and bones Souls aren't built of stone Souls aren't built of stone, sticks, and bones |

In this world of news, I've found nothing new
I've found nothing pure Maybe I'm just idealistic to assume that truth Could be fact and form That love could be a verb Maybe I'm just a little misinformed As the dead moon rises, and the freeways sigh Let the trains watch over the tides and the mist Spinning circles in our skies tonight Let the trucks roll in from Los Angeles Maybe our stars are unanimously tired (chorus) Let your love be strong, and I don't care what goes down Let your love be strong enough to weather through the thunder cloud Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from your eyes All of my world hanging on your love Let the wars begin, let my strength wear thin Let my fingers crack, let my world fall apart Train the monkeys on my back to fight Let it start tonight When my world explodes, when my stars touch the ground Falling down like broken satellites (chorus) All of my world resting on your love |
