Get a little closer
Let me see your eyes
Didn't stop to notice all warning signs
Can't get any higher
Don't you wanna know
While you were away
They changed your name and code


Hear the sound
That's changing all around
You've gone too far
City lights are spiked
The wolves are out tonight


Manic Distortion
Sink or swim
Out of proportion
Gonna crash or mend


Speak a little louder
Can't hear your new voice
It's harder to focus past the inner noise
Something on computor
Another soul to load
New world out of order
The news is so exposed


Are you leaving, will you wake up
It's gone too far
Way too far
Will you stay a million miles away
Manic distortion
Sink or swim
Wheel out of motion
Gonna crash or mend


Are you leaving, will you wake up
It's binding now
Everything has changed
It's all deranged


Manic Distortion
Sink or swim
Out of proportion
Gonna crash or mend


May Day

Gotta learn how to fight around here
If you really wanna stay alive
There's a method of survival in the city
'Til you've gone 'til you've done your own time
Walking and talking in circles don't matter
Money never saved the rich or poor
Don't matter it's just if you mean it
They'll scrape at the bones 'til you're cold


Climbing sideways
Through the cracks
Down the aisles
Praying on the new life
And the people on display
I make a move on you
I make a move on you


Sun is on the rise
Time to awaken
Living in the present - past
Avenues and signs all directing
Another round on the beaten path
Gotta learn how to fight around here
If you really wanna stay alive
Don't turn your back you gotta watch it
Gotta learn how to keep your mind


Moving slower
The sun has gone away
Never going out of style
People on display
I make a move on you
I make a move on you
I make a move on you
I make a move on you

Now that you're considering your rights
Ones we've paid government to steal
Would suffocate your breathing
If you realized the facts
You don't even know half of the deal


Now that you have spoken up
Think you've gotten through?
How all the hearts are drowned
By the many modes of materialistic nature
Who can see the truth?


Why can you force now
To the surface brings a war
May God be on your side
He'll stop the wheels and cars
Maybe save the next world
From the unwritten law
The violence in America


Now that you have woken up
Do you know who you are
You could be digging yourself from a hole in the ground
And never face it
Come up for air and go back down too far

Time is an end
Taking all demand
May God be on your side
Do what they tell you all
No longer in the safety zone
From the unwritten law
Smile for the camera


Here, you took around before
Flies are coming
Out of the seedy street corners of
what used to be a free land
Gratification sensory overland
Chained to a source of misery That always eludes you


Take these guns
Obey the law
Going for the ride
Just do what they tell you all
Going for the ride
Take these guns, obey the law
Take these guns, obey the law
Going for the ride
Going, time to wake up, wake up

I called to Mary
Didn't answer
No one home that day
Called to Jesus
Don't you know it
Sleeping I guess okay


Where did all the people go
That I used to know
I've been driven by a few wild horses
Trampled under their feet
Just tell me why the children cry
And how we can find relief
Half my life's mistakes I've made
This is for much more than I need
I wanna lead me onward
Where the grass is green


Called the heavens
Still no answer
Must be on holiday
One to Joseph
Twice to Father
Maybe got through anyway

Where did all the people go
That I used to know
I've been driven by a few wild horses
Trampled under their feet
Just tell me why the children cry
And how we can find relief
Half my life's mistakes I've made
This is for much more than I need

I wanna lead me onward
Where the grass is green

I've been driven by a few wild horses
Trampled under their feet
Just tell me why the children cry
And how we can find relief
Goodbye no offense
This is far much more than I need
I wanna lead me onward
Where the grass is green
I wanna lead me onward
Where the grass is green

I've watched the life in the land where
Pharaoh reigned
Known messiahs lead the common man
Watched the ocean turn to sand again
From the beginning and the end
So taste the light it's never bad
Don't try to guide it now it's all arranged
Can't you see your way will never lost
People roam the earth & never gain


There in the parting of the ocean
Center of all that's displayed
Before the creation you'll never know
Patiently waiting your fate


Meet me at the station
Travel in the soul
Tearing out the farm
Held me down for way too long
Counteract the stranglehold
She's still holding on till fall


Been all around the place to find an aim
Driven out, caged and tied
You'll know we all leave the same
Can you know what's real
And lead the way
Slipped off the boat in the ocean

Maybe you'll wash on the shore
Taking a trip to the overload
Run out of space going home


Meet me at the station
Travel in the soul
Gravity on the other side
Held me down for way too long
Counteract the stranglehold
She's still holdning on and on


She's weary
She'll rise
She breaks
She cries
