On a Dance Floor
03:56

On a dance floor, I can feel
Nerves pounding, yet I don’t have to be real
I’ve been bleeding my Spirit dry
But now I’m sure I’ve got the reason why
With my sense flooded it’s justified
Yeah, now I know I got the reason why
With my senses flooded it’s justified
‘Cause I know, I know, I…
I know we couldn’t be
On a sinking ship, having another drink
I know we’re in the clear
Won’t be taken in by no alarmist fear
I can’t believe in more than this
I can’t believe in more than this
I can’t believe in more than this right now
On a dance floor I am one
With the purpose, I am the chosen son
Who’ll inherit all we’ve achieved
This is my religion, I truly believe
This party won’t stop till it’s given me
This is my religion, I truly believe
This party won’t stop till you give it to me
What I came for
I know we couldn’t be
On a sinking ship, having another drink
I know we’re in the clear
Won’t be taken in by no alarmist fear
I can’t believe in more than this
I can’t believe in more than this
I can’t believe in more than this right now
I know, I know, I, I know, I know, I…
I know we couldn’t be
On a sinking ship, just having our last drink
I know we’re in the clear
Won’t be taken in by no alarmist fear
I can’t believe in more than this
I can’t believe in more than this
I can’t believe in more than this
I can’t believe in more than this right now

Other Side of the Glass
04:00

You are not another one
Blending into the scenery
Another feature of the landscape
You are the one who burns a hole
Straight through my mind
The piece of the dream
More real than what I find
When I awake
You’re on the other side
Of the Glass
Instinct telling me I can reach out and touch
A cold surface telling me
Not so fast
You’re on the other Side
You are not another one
Like all to often they seem to be
Another repetition of the script
I know too well
But we could write another one
We could throw caution to the wind
Oh dear, it seems I’ve said too much
No going back now
On the other side
Of the Glass
Instinct telling me I can reach out and touch
A cold surface telling me
Not so fast
You’re on the other Side
My bad, never mind
Who am I to think
That just because you’re different
Then this would be?
That i could end up anywhere
But on this other side
Of the Glass
Instinct telling me I can reach out and touch
A cold surface telling me
Not so fast
You’re on the other Side

Could Be
04:00

Could be a rat in a maze
Could be a spoke on a wheel
Could be a brain in a tank
Watching a film on a reel
Could I be anything
They wanted me to be?
Maybe I could be
Anything you want
Mutable, a blank slate
Write what will be me
We could be dust in a moment
We could be ash by tomorrow
But for today…
If I could be anything
They wanted me to be
Maybe I could be
Anything you want
Could I be anything
They wanted me to be?
Maybe I could be
Anything you want
Maybe we will be
Ashes by tomorrow
Ashes by tomorrow

Nothing

It aint nothing but what you bring to it
It aint even there if you're not seeing it
I don't need nothing from anyone
Don't need to stay and I don't need to run
I don't owe you a thing if you call on me
I do what I want and you'll do without
Aint no up or down, and I'm only around
'TIl I say it's time to check out
It's all good, it's all fine
Don't need to fix it
It's all just a mistake that aint mine
Don't need to give a shit
Not my problem
I'm just passing by
I don't need nothing from anyone
I don't need to stay and I don't need to run
I don't owe you a thing
I don't owe anyone
Nothing

Generation
03:59

Something missing, something missing
Got a heap of treasure
But somethings missing
We're starving in our wealth
Something deeper, something deeper
Can't put my finger on what it is
Something never known to...
A generation paralyzed and numb
Don't even know what we are running from
My voice calls to you
It's lost upon the tide
For you're each an island, every one
Of a generation paralyzed and numb
Heaped upon me, the fruit of a thousand years
They won these spoils
Mother and father handed them to me
Child we fought back the pain, ever encroaching
To give you the strength to join in approaching
That dream we've all been marching towards
And you and yours will take us
Farther than we've ever been before
I think on this as I witness...
A generation paralyzed and numb
Don't even know what we are running from
My voice calls to you
It's lost upon the tide
For you're each an island, every one
Of a generation paralyzed and numb

Down the Road

If you haven't noticed yet
If you haven't heard by now
This is it, it's real, it's here
The time to speculate's run out
And what will you carry with you,
From what you have done?
What your heart holds
That it can't outrun
When we're far down the road
When we're looking back on what we chose
Will you be sleeping easy?
Carrying a light load?
Or will you be crushed by the weight,
Of what your heart holds
When all you've got is what's before you
Find some way to solid ground
The hierarchies that have formed you
Will be flooded, will be drowned
And what will you carry with you,
From what you have done?
What your heart holds
That it can't outrun
When we're far down the road
When we're looking back on what we chose
Will you be sleeping easy?
Carrying a light load?
Or will you be crushed by the weight,
Of what your heart holds

Who We Are
05:17
|

|
Is there anywhere for me here?
Is there anywhere I fit?
If I don't hate half of you
And I don't sign on the line
Is there anything else,
Or is that it?
Who we are
Is it a question or an ultimatum?
Who we are
Is it a side: us or them?
Who we are
All that I know is I'm alone
When my heart decides
And it don't choose sides
So is there room in your plan for that?
Is there any place for a time out?
Is there any time we can replace
All we've held to, and called ourselves,
With only the truth that this moment tells?
So these words land,
Or are they already expelled?
Who we are
Is it a question or an ultimatum?
Who we are
Is it a side: us or them?
Who we are
All that I know is I'm alone
When my heart decides
And it don't choose sides
So is there room in your plan for that?

The Dark Corners
05:04
|

|
I have been away
For a number of days
I don't care to count
I've come up with a grand
Number of plans
Had to throw them all out
Out in the dark corners
I made my home
Down deep in the cracks
Where it felt safe to rest my bones
I have been away
Probably most days
Didn't even know I was gone
I would like to stay here
Would like to be with you
If I am to go on
Out in the dark corners
I made my home
Down deep in the cracks
Where it felt safe to rest my bones
