Accelerator 03:30
Here I sit, not moving anywhere I wanna go cause all the people stare What’s the point? We’ve got a hill to climb Why do we move a little at a time? You couldn’t tell me what I wanted to know Accelerator It’s all a stop when it should be a go Accelerator I need to pull over, rest my head Accelerator Maybe we should try to walk instead Accelerate I can’t see a hand in front of me I’m on a road I didn’t want to be Where the hell am I? I just don’t know But if this is quick I’d hate to see what’s slow
2.
Don’t mean to complain, I’ll say it again I couldn’t wait for it to pass The feeling I have, it’s all so different I guess I’ll have to wait my turn Got to feel something, too long feeling nothing Got to keep moving in case I start losing Myself on the way, I’m done with today Got to feel something right now Losing my way is not for today I see the same things appear and they bring Nothing I haven’t seen before So I can see you but I can’t feel you Looks like I’ll have to wait my turn
3.
I try to tell it like it is, at least I think I do Can’t hide from everything forever but I wanted to It’s been a long time coming Now I can look at the star in the sky Was that your voice in the back of my mind yesterday? Sometimes I get into a place that I don’t wanna be Can’t help myself because I know what I am gonna see It’s been a long time coming Now I can look at the star in the sky Was that your voice in the back of my mind yesterday? It’s been a long time coming I can’t explain everything that I feel I need to get back down tonight We keep on running toward the end game I think it’s high time So sit back down, enjoy the view Just a little of everything now Will make it better Did I think that out loud again It’s been a long time coming
4.
Under Water 02:32
I’m alive, at least I was when I checked minutes ago Do I survive? At least I think that’s what I wanna do Yeah, I am under water now Yeah, going under water now I check my pulse, it seems to be just creeping up again I’m winding down, I need to stop and make it to the end
5.
It’s happened again, I don’t know when I should get back today I’m clearing the past, forgotten at last But I wish that something could stay I didn’t notice the lights had gone out yesterday It’s all making sense as I sit on the fence Feeling dry as a bone Part of me dies as I open my eyes How did I get here today? They’re doing me in, how do I begin to Get it all back again? I’m the only one who can get out of this today All the open doors are boarded up And too far away I didn’t notice the lights had gone out yesterday How do I escape? I’m trapped in a lake That’s as dry as a bone Dry as a bone...

Get By 02:59
Don’t feel right now, I’ll sign out Wonder what would happen if I went out Of my mind again tonight Got to tell myself now I’ve got to try Sun is coming up and I will get by Get by... Inside out and I can barely look up from the crowd. I need to find a way we can all get by One time now It looks like everyone’s in through the out I need to find a way we can all get by
7.
I don’t need time if time don’t need me I think I’m in a different kind of mind Get away and leave it all behind I’m not saying much But I don’t know if I can keep the promise I’ll spend my time thinking about it I’ll waste some time thinking about it yeah Time to get out, out to get time It’s a one-way path to nothing much at all But it’s better that than an almighty fall Cause I’m not saying much But I don’t know if I can keep the promise
8.
Looking at you, now I don’t know what to do Anymore Always the way and I don’t know how it ends Now there is hope in your eyes As you just try to hypnotise And wash it all away I don’t have all the answers Especially not the one you need So tell me what to say It’s still dark and I don’t know why I’m up Alarm broke up a dream And I wanna go back there right now.. Now there is soap in your eyes As you just try to hypnotise And wash it all away I don’t have all the answers Especially not the one you need So tell me what to say
9.
Out of my rear view mirror, I can see the fire It’s growing every day, cannot get much higher Trying to get out of the way Trying so hard every day It isn’t hard to see why you just look away I try my best but I don’t feel the things you say Trying to get out the way Trying so hard every day Cause I don’t want to feel Don’t want to pray Don’t want to look the other way Don’t have the time to even say Can I go now? It’s been five hours No ones there, No ones there So can I go now? Out of the blue again a little light appears If only for a second time in all these years Wouldn’t expect any less And it’s anybody’s guess
10.
Don’t believe a word now I wouldn’t even if I heard All the noise we made up Say it again, funny how, funny how it is I wanna go back to the places that I choose They’re all in my mind now, I’ve got nothing to lose If you listen very carefully again You’ll go tripping back in time to who knows when High above in the city Someone looking at me Do I want to believe them When they taught me to breathe
11.
Morning News 03:28
Take the pill, craving still What the hell? I can’t tell anymore What the world needs now is a shot But all we’ve got is The morning news We’re bound to lose I can’t find anything to ease my mind The crazy guy is in my eyes And in my ears He’s spelling out my deepest fears Sit you down, take the weight Off your feet and off your head again What the hell you talking about? Shouting aloud on The morning news We’re bound to lose I can’t find anything to ease my mind The crazy guy is in my eyes And in my ears He’s spelling out my deepest fears Over again...
12.
Any Time 05:56
I don’t belive it now you’re on my mind Can’t take it all in now, you’re on my mind Settle as peace comes down, you’re on my mind And it is alright, everything’s alright Sail away into the sun Now you know you’re everyone And you won’t be in time Now you can shine And you’re here And you’re here Any time, any time And you’re here, any time
