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

Feel Something
03:50
|
|||
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

Long Time Coming
03:14
|
|||
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

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

Dry As A Bone
03:46
|
|||
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

Thinking About It
02:50
|
|||
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

Tell Me What To Say
04:06
|
|||
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

Can I Go Now?
03:46
|
|||
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

Funny How It Is
02:58
|
|||
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

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...

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
