Spent the last seven weeks Feeling lost and alone Don’t even need to say it Cause you already know As long as we’re awake Bad dreams never come Every promise that you make Is not a reason to run They make it seem like Everything is cut and dry Clouds always grey Never black or white The ending of the day Fades into night From the dark look away And step into the light Some day you’ll find Love and affection You recognize From every direction You’ll see the light And feel the protection Of those watchful eyes Impossible to feel like it’ll be alright Not inclined to steal But I’ll take all of your time Don’t feel like it’s for real But reality can bite Fate has arrived Time to say goodbye Watching out for arrows of emotion We dodge evading head shots and close ones We pause and our hands try to hold on As we wait for your signal When it’s time will you tell us it has come Give a sign let us know that you are done No one could find better company than you I say I’m fine, but that doesn’t mean it’s true Some day you’ll find Love and affection You'll recognize From every direction You’ll see the light And feel the protection Of those watchful eyes Some day you’ll find Love and affection You'll recognize From every direction You will see the light And feel the protection Of those watchful eyes

As soon as I’m awake Try to make a living from the things we make Or what we’re harvesting On the hardest days Nothing but the wind will come my way But I need sun and rain In the marketplace Everything is made to be thrown away Somebody profiting Transactional irrational It’s the thrill of the day That’s why I’m Gone before you make me an offer Gone before you make me an offer Gone before you make me an offer I can’t refuse I’m takin it down I’m breaking it out If you keep pushing me around You’re making a sound No need to shout Cause I’m gonna keep on turning it down I’m in outer space Feeling so far away In a time and place Infinite connection every day All the time it wastes Anything to feel that warm embrace An easy escape staring you in the face Sometimes you gotta look away That’s why I’m Gone before you make me an offer Gone before you make me an offer Gone before you make me an offer I can’t refuse I’m takin it down I’m breaking it out If you keep pushing me around You’re making a sound No need to shout Cause I’m gonna keep on turning it down I’m making it count I’m breaking it out If you keep pushing me around You’re making a sound No need to shout Cause I’m gonna keep on turning it down It’s quiet right now But the sirens and the lights will be coming around There’s a fire in town Smoke rising and it makes a cloud Crying out loud Somebody put this fire out A dollar amount over a body count Missing the point to what it’s all about That’s why I’m Gone before you make me an offer Gone before you make me an offer Gone before you make me an offer I can’t refuse I’m taking it down I’m breaking it out If you keep pushing me around You’re making a sound No need to shout Cause I’m gonna keep on turning it down Without a doubt I’m breaking it out If you keep pushing me around You’re making a sound No need to shout Cause I’m gonna keep on turning it down Keep turning it down I can’t hear you Keep turning it down I can’t hear you Keep turning it down I can’t hear you Keep turning it down I can’t hear you

I remember driving late at night in Idaho State road seventy five in a motor home Trailer in tow Forty five in a thirty zone Riding dirty though Just came up from California Where the wild things grow Pulled over to the side of the road Everybody hoping that he might let us go He could smell it in the air He could see the smoke One thing that he doesn’t know I got the last of the stash in my pocket I wanna roll it I wanna smoke it up I got the last of the stash in my pocket I wanna roll it I wanna smoke it up No longer free to go Location of the mason jar is all they need to know Separately questioning everybody with the hope That somebody will crack and take the honest approach And I suppose That was me that gave into the pressure that I perceived I believed they would show mercy But I know better Cause the handcuffs come out One size fits all Try to keep calm I got the last of the stash in my pocket I wanna roll it I wanna smoke it up I got the last of the stash in my pocket I wanna roll it I wanna smoke it up I got the last of the stash in my pocket Just let me roll it I wanna smoke it up I got the last of the stash in my pocket We wanna roll it We wanna smoke it up We got the last of the stash in our pocket Suffering succotash Blue lights all on my ass What do I do Maybe just let them pass
 Maybe just hit the gas Throw out the stash and mask the odors Hide all the cash from mad controllers Road sodas Oh no I’m sober Or at least that’s what I told her Shit Chillin in the back of the paddy wagon Mind is gone time is dragging Don’t belong and I start to panic but I hear a voice and it’s awfully manic
 Rival meth gangs and they’re going toe to toe 
Oh what a lucky day We’re gonna let ya go Thank god for my guardian angel Coulda been bad coulda been mad painful Phone call to my mom woulda sucked Hey mom bout to be locked up In Idaho mom I dunno but the cop got a bible though All I had was a bag of weed It was shitty weed too and the cop agreed Yes sir I am in a band A shitty band too but in high demand The contraband came from a fan I don’t even know how it got here man So anyway dude I’m not tryna be rude If you gave me a minute I woulda just dropped it Cause I got the last of the stash in my pocket I wanna roll it I wanna smoke it up I got the last of the stash in my pocket I wanna roll it I wanna smoke it up I got the last of the stash in my pocket Just let me roll it I wanna smoke it up I got the last of the stash in my pocket We wanna roll it We wanna smoke it up We got the last of the stash in our pocket I wanna roll it I wanna smoke it I got the last of the stash in my pocket I wanna roll it I wanna smoke it I got the last of the stash in my pocket I wanna roll it I wanna smoke it I got the last of the stash in my pocket I wanna roll it I wanna smoke it I got the last of the stash in my pocket

You gotta feel it Banana peel it And when it’s ready to be seen Then you can reveal it Don’t let ‘em steal it You gotta seal it The double helix Catlike reflexes like I was Felix I’m rolling through Texas To get to Phoenix Driving a space Lexus Straight to Venus I won’t repeat it Won’t be defeated And if you’re coming for the stash It’s already been depleted Let me take you somewhere different Somewhere the air is magnificent I got to go go go Like I was Dominos Thirty minutes or less yes So let’s vamanos It's uncommon As spring without pollen To bring about change Without causing problems I know the way to San Jose But I got lost Which cost me the whole day Back on track So let the rhythm attack And sit back and relax Let us take you away Let me take you somewhere different Somewhere the air is magnificent Let me take you somewhere different Somewhere the air is magnificent I see the birds and the bees The leaves return to the trees I burn through the breeze I learn to agree with nature’s ability To fill me up with a sense of humility I will erupt with a new found mobility I give it up to the new sound it’s given me I fill a cup raise it up to the moon Our days will come soon Anticipation is killing me Let me take you somewhere different Somewhere the air is magnificent Let me take you somewhere different Somewhere the air is magnificent Let me take you somewhere different Somewhere the air is magnificent Let me take you somewhere different Somewhere the air is magnificent Let me take you somewhere different Somewhere the air is magnificent Let me take you somewhere different Somewhere the air is magnificent There ain’t no bowls full of gold At the end of the rainbow No it’s just the same old same old But I ain't even trying to complain though I’m grateful you even let me be a guest on your game show Like come on down Feet firmly planted to the planet But above the ground I stay lost in thought but still moving around Cause sometimes I don’t want to be found I use my supervision to maneuver through the system Give thanks for existence Thanks for this gift of imagination Communicate and find the opportunity to Travel through the vibrations I consider it a privilege my whispering Got anybody listening Listen it hits a little different when it’s different Let me take you somewhere different Let me take you somewhere different Somewhere the air is magnificent Let me take you somewhere different Somewhere the air is magnificent Let me take you somewhere different Somewhere the air is magnificent Let me take you somewhere different Somewhere the air is magnificent

In ninety eight I was a high school freshman Baggy pants shaggy hair like my best friend Had a crew thought we knew what to do But we never really had a clue until we got arrested Turntables at the spring fling mixer Ten stairs somebody take a picture Bus boy in a station wagon Bass in the back and I said hey mister Will you help me out You may have your doubt I know my voice is loud Having trouble trying to keep it down In ninety nine I was a sophomore driving Friends all pile in everyone smiling In the woods was the place to be No authority to erase these dreams Raise your hand if you want to start a band Got a drum set in my basement man Plus I got myself a station wagon Amps in the back I believe that we can Will you help me out You may have your doubt I know my voice is loud Having trouble trying to keep it down Say will you rock with me At the neighborhood block party We can play our favorite songs If you know all the words you can sing along Don’t stop driving me crazy Don’t stop driving me crazy Don’t stop driving me crazy Don’t stop driving me crazy Will you help me out I know you have your doubt I know my voice is loud Having trouble trying to keep it down Say will you rock with me At the neighborhood block party We can play our favorite songs If you know all the words you can sing along Don’t stop driving me crazy Don’t stop driving me crazy Don’t stop driving me crazy Don’t stop driving me crazy

My House 03:02
Rules to follow rules to break It’s hard to know which road to take Just know that when you’re in my space Don’t get up in my face Maybe you could be a part of the solution not the problem Pick up the pace you’re ride is driving away You’re not welcome here no more You gotta take it outside Not in my house not in my house Two wrongs they don’t make a right Not in my house not in my house Here’s some advice that’s free to take Not every fight is worth the stakes Pressure dropped into the bucket Started way back in Kentucky Back it up and pack it into your truck There is a place to do the things That you would like to do And I don’t know where that is And I don’t give a fuck You gotta take it outside Not in my house not in my house Two wrongs they don’t make a right Not in my house not in my house You gotta take it outside Not in my house not in my house Two wrongs they don’t make a right Not in my house not in my house Go where you wanna Wherever you can You smoke marijuana Smells like shit hit the fan You gotta take it outside Not in my house not in my house Two wrongs they don’t make a right Not in my house not in my house You gotta take it outside Not in my house not in my house Two wrongs they don’t make a right Not in my house not in my house

One To One 03:46
One to one Three to three Whatever makes you happy The score looks even to me We will have some fun We will have some trouble We’re gonna hit some traffic Whatever you need me to be I’m lightning And you're thunder I’m brimstone And you’re fire And what we don’t know Is what we don’t know Can we take a moment And let it all go Just let it all go Let it all go Remember a time Nothing else mattered We're swinging on the vines And looking up at Saturn Oh the things we would find The colorful patterns Ignoring all the signs Causing them to shatter I’m lightning And you’re thunder I’m brimstone And you’re fire And what we don’t know Is what we don’t know Can we take a moment And let it all go Just let it all go By the power vested in me I pronounce that you should be free No matter your residency All the places you’ll go When you leave the comforts of home You’ll find that nothing comes close To the rivers and lakes that you know One to one Three to three Whatever makes you happy The score looks even to me We will have some fun We will have some trouble We’re gonna hit some traffic Whatever you need me to be I’m lightning And you’re thunder I’m brimstone And you’re fire And what we don’t know Is what we don’t know Can we take a moment And let it all go Just let it all go Let it all go Let it all go Let it all go

Stranded on a beach somewhere My ship is gone but I’m still here Digging out the words in the sand Help me I’m out here all alone The sun is gone and light departed I try to feel my way around I wade into the darkness And make my way down Don’t know where I am right now I remember where I'm headed to A place in a little town I was on my way to be with you I’m walking on the ocean floor Looking for a better way to spend my time I’m looking for an open door Trying to find another way to get inside Waiting for a light to shine I don’t know how long it’s been Running out of oxygen Time to swim back up to the top again No I don’t want to go Don’t want to go back to the shore Can’t hold my breath anymore Gotta find a way out I’m walking on the ocean floor Looking for a better way to spend my time I’m looking for an open door Trying to find another way to get inside Waiting for a light to shine I can’t tell if I’m still asleep Or if I’m barreling way too deep Waves that swell and start to sweep Broken shells dart of my feet I’m walking on the ocean floor Looking for a better way to spend my time I’m looking for an open door Trying to find another way to get inside Waiting for a light to shine

In the future Only one thing I know for sure It’s up to you sir Go out and get it if you really want more To be a loser Only happens when you’re keeping score So be a chooser Of things that bring us close to what we’re looking for Quit focusing on yesterday You got to help your future self Clean it up and put the mess away Your future self needs help Set it up for later When you don’t want to put in the work Do us all a favor Let us know what it is you prefer Spare yourself the labor Before you go digging in the dirt Prepare yourself for danger More you know the less it hurts Quit focusing on yesterday You got to help your future self Clean it up and put the mess away Your future self needs help There is no help in the future You got to help yourself in the future There is no help in the future You got to help yourself in the future In the future In the future In the future In the future
