Open Eyes

Oh, did you see
What you went there to see?
Was it all you had hoped
It would be?
We only see change
Through the eyes of yesterday
Who we were, it’s so strange
From today (from today)
Eyes wide open
It’s a dream
Eyes wide open
You’re still asleep
Eyes wide open
It’s a phase
Eyes wide open
You’re a state, you’re a state, of change
Oceans are deep
With many creatures underneath
But you float out to sea
Just to see
Questions on your mind
There’s so much yet to find
So you go out one more time
And leave behind (one more time)
Eyes wide open
It’s a dream
Eyes wide open
You’re still asleep
Eyes wide open
It’s a phase
Eyes wide open
You’re a state, you’re a state, of change

Exhibition
03:42

Everywhere I go
It’s like I’m in a show
Exhibit of the strange
A freak who’s on display
I can feel their eyes
Their judging, piercing eyes
Stabbing at my skin
It’s why I don’t want in
What they don’t know
Won’t hurt them
And what they don’t know
Don’t concern them
Everywhere I go
It’s like I’m in a show
Exhibit of the strange
A freak who’s on display
I can feel their eyes
Their judging, creeping eyes
Crawling on my skin
It’s why I don’t want in
What they don’t know
Won’t hurt them
And what they don’t know
Don’t concern them, yeah
What they don’t know
Won’t hurt them
And what they don’t fear
Don’t control them

She's a Liar
04:09
|
|||
|
I’ve been around for days
Heard all your dad rock records play
Round and round you sang
But is it me who’s getting played?
She’s such a liar
When she says she loves
Anything but her music
It’s her favorite drug
I listened to your tracks
You’re talking tone on some Fender amp
You said you heard a new band
It’s all a blur, I’m fading fast
Cause she’s such a liar
If she says she loves
Anything but her music
It’s her favorite drug
She’s such a liar
When she says she loves
Anything but her music
It’s her favorite drug
It’s her favorite drug

Guy From Texas
03:39
|
|||
|
I’m so jaded
From walking a straight line right into a void
I’ve been a good boy
But being good gets you nothing in this world
I met a guy from Texas
He said he flatlined for a few
Lived a life so straight-laced
Those pearly gates were true
But he said, ‘heaven’s overrated’
Yeah — all that — all that ivory drove him mad
So now he’s gonna take his chances
And hope hell ain’t so bad
Hope hell ain’t so bad
I don’t get it
What’s the point if they don’t play by the rules
Time is wasting
It’s time I stop living my life like a fool
I met a guy from Texas
He said he flatlined for a few
Lived a life so straight-laced
Those pearly gates were true
But he said, ‘heaven’s overrated’
Yeah — all that — all that ivory drove him mad
So now he’s gonna take his chances
And hope hell ain’t so bad
Hope hell ain’t so bad
Hope hell ain’t so bad
Hope hell ain’t so bad

Oak Tree
03:22
|
|||
|
The city crowds my mind
There’s no space to unwind
Too many people, too much noise
I can’t hear my own voice
I could use a change of scenery
Foothills and oak trees
Life is kinder to me
Underneath this old oak tree
Gazing into the sky
A little peace for a troubled mind
Won’t you come and sit with me?
Underneath this old oak tree

Monster
03:41
|
|||
|
There’s no love here
Only blood and broken glass
Frustration fuels his anger
Of a life he’ll never have
He’s just a monster
Watch him turn into one
Drink after drink
There ain’t nothing wrong with you babe
You’re such a disappointment
Yeah, you never measured up
A projection of his failure
That’s why he beats you up
He’s just a monster
Watch him turn into one
Drink after drink
There ain’t nothing wrong with you babe
Mama watch your children
Mama hold them tight
Mama watch your children
Because daddy’s been drinking tonight
He’s just a monster
Watch him turn into one
Drink after drink
There ain’t nothing wrong with you babe

New Day
03:22
|
|||
|
Somedays you feel so drained
Somedays you’re wanting more
And somedays it’s all too much
Just getting out the door
And other days you are
Much better than before
Sarah please, be strong
I’ll be back before too long
Sarah please, be strong
I’ll be back before too long
Watch the sunset from the beach
Tomorrow’s a new day
Somedays they build you up
Somedays they tear you down
And somedays they treat you like
They don’t want you around
And other days they are
Much better than before
Sarah please, be strong
I’ll be back before too long
Sarah please, be strong
I’ll be back before too long
Watch the sunset from the beach
Tomorrow’s a new day
I found you
So restless, so hopeless, so desperate
Your pain was seductive
You gave me a purpose
Sarah please

Always Ever Been
04:55
|
|||
|
We were walking around downtown
Hands in pockets, looking down
I asked you to trip with me
You refused a chance to see
Do you believe
In what they think
All this, could be
Accidentally?
You’re not outside
A stranger to this life
Your game is to hide
Pretend it’s not your time
I want you to feel
That you’ve always ever been
With no beginning and no end
I want you to know
That you’ve always ever been
With no beginning and no end

Say the Word

Say the word
We’ll follow you
Just say the word
Tell us what to do
Just say the word
We’ll serve, we’ll serve
Say the word
We’ll fall in line
Just say the word
Anytime
Just say the word
We’ll serve, we’ll serve… you
I don’t want to disagree
Everyone will put blame on me
Say the word
We’ll follow you
Just say the word
Tell us what to do
Just say the word
We’ll serve, we’ll serve
Say the word
The time is near
Just say the word
That’s why we’re here
Just say the word
We’ll serve, we’ll serve… you
I don’t want to disagree
Everyone will put blame on me
I don’t want to disobey
Just do as you're told, that’s what they say
I don’t want to be free
It’s too much for me

Drift Away
03:18
|
|||
|
Just another weekend fade
Suburban kids who’ve gone astray
As incense burns, see ceiling fan
Spin around and around again
Someone else’s thoughts and dreams
Like implanted memories
It’s way too deep, it won’t translate
Bedroom carpet, meditate
Why do we have to be?
What does it really mean?
Why does the thought of ‘nothing’
Tear at the seams?
I saw you drift away
To another plane
I watched you drift away
To another place
I saw you drift away
To another plane
I watched you drift away
To another place
A place so far away
A place no-one could stay
A place they’d rearrange your brain
You’re not the same
