1. The Mind Machine
Welcome to your new world
Please enter one and all
It's your kind of place
See my smiling face
No one will condemn you for anything you want
You'll pay a healthy fee for your insanity
We only ask that you trust us
We take care of everything
Just shut down your mind, thoughts are wastes of time
If you feel that you have lost your mind this time
Yes you have, but the trip will be just fine
Welcome to Utopia
This place is like a dream
Watch your TV screen, we'll tell you what it means
You may feel addicted, you may feel ashamed
There's no side effects to life with no regrets
If you feel that you have lost your mind this time
Yes you have, but the trip will be just fine
All your sorrows will be washed away
Just don't question what we have to say
It takes you on an endless ride
Soon you'll see you're never satisfied
Now that we have control
And yes you have sold your soul
Now it's the only way to survive
2. Thieves
Why must we wait for the one that we hate to get what they deserve?
When we just want the fighting and righting, eluding my insanity
Are the thoughts that I killed in my mind?
Hating and blaming
It's not who you are, it's who you let live
And the blood on your hands
Try and live through the grief, some people are thieves
Taking tolls all around them
Seeing through the end of this time, keeping in mind forgiving is free
Leave a penny for me, for my luck I must see,
Change and then maybe I'll start
Praying and saying that time will let all these habits of love into pain
I won't fight it, I know that the kill is never going to be worth the change
Try and live through the grief, some people are thieves
Taking tolls all around them
Seeing through the end of this time, keeping in mind forgiving is free
Hard to find, in your eyes, same old lies
I need a faith I know is truly blind
Taking my dreams I leave it all behind
Saving time and saving my own life
Life on the wind and living on the line
Why must we wait for the one that we hate to get what they deserve?
When we just want the fighting and righting,
Eluding my insanity are the thoughts that I killed in my mind
Seeing, believing is not what we're leaving
I am needing a faith that's truly blind
3. You're Alive
Now you know that you're alive
This is your time to start your hopeful creation
This is a time to believe
This is a time to make the most of every second, saving every priceless memory
This is the time to let your day be full of wonder
This is the time to be free
This is the time to live
Without your complications to love within a constant melody
Now you know that you're alive
This is your time to be a dreamer without sleeping
This is a time for you to breathe
This is a time to take in
All that has been given and watch your tears fall gently to the sea
Now you know that you're alive
4. One Tragedy At A Time
Keep trying to reach out
I don't know why the sky is swirling
The peace that's left here will soon be dead
Or gone instead
Keep rolling out the dice
When our cup runs over on the ground it's spilling
Forget the intentions of the past left alive, left sad in our eyes
Remember what they said; all these wars will be over
Still people are ending up dead
One tragedy at a time, one tragedy at a time
I don't want to be the one holding it all together
I don't want to be the one holding it all together
The only one that cares to die for
The one who has to tell you
I don't want to be the one
I will try I will try I will try
Keep trying to reach out
I don't know why the world is turning
Inside in, wrong side out and inside out..
Remember what they said
All these wars will be over
Still people are ending up dead
One tragedy at a time
5. I'm Not Blind
Looking out the window my day is not the same
Taking time, my hand out to feel the rain
Competing with the thunder, the music and the sound
It's as if I'm under the spell in which I drowned
Hearing my mouth the words come out, the future's in my eyes
How come I fear the things I need to try? I need to try
People around they let me down
I hold them all at bay
Even though I know I love them anyway
Hard to see things close to me, lose that part with age
I'm out of style with the way I fly
Realizing I'm not blind all the time
Realizing I'm not blind
Too tight the rope I slide out on is my superstitious mind
Looking up balance restored is me or the divine
Permit my eyes to form the tears that wash away the pain
Believing more than I can see and realizing I'm not blind all the time
Realizing I'm not blind all the time
Realizing I'm not blind
Wonder why the stars shine carry lovely light
So far, yet so clear gets me winning all the time
You can keep the crying but you can't keep the tears
What will really matter after all these years
When we're through and dying, the fact remains the same
The grace that we were given cannot be retained
6. Easy Tomorrow
Spinning to the right in the moment isn't takin'
Your face will meet my hand in the middle of a fight
All my forgiveness got lost in the love
For getting even for giving you a shove
All alone you'll be lost in your house
Thrown into the fire, thrown into the light,
Into a dream where only nightmares exist
Give me some water to wash the blood off my fist
Hear your voice, see the loss
Speak the words that never come across or mean a thing
Take the time, give a damn
Forget the sins and sorrows of yesterday
Easy tomorrow, easy tomorrow
Easy way, easy way, easy
No love lost
You say its connotation visits a time when you were right
Can't pay the cost
More than a summation
Parts of your whole are added up to die
Hear your voice, see the loss
Speak the words that never come across or mean a thing
Take the time, give a damn
Forget the sins and sorrows of yesterday
Easy tomorrow, easy tomorrow
7. Haze
The time is now for you to hear
What I say while I'm singing
Show me your appetite, I will feed you the meaning
Tell me now and hold me, in while you're breathing
I teach the lesson you learn my view, people like the attention
I will be the one to find what's behind and inside of you
Now hear me sing these feelings away
Fleeting glimpses of yesteryear
Changing my mind like the atmosphere
Hold a candle in the wind my dear
Somehow we must find the start
Now hear me sing these feelings away
Now see me falling out of your way
Inside, tantalize, torture me my dear
Going on, going out, can't believe you're here
With summer gone, it's afternoon enjoying these finer days
Somehow I'm mesmerized I memorize and fade
Into a warm truly gone state of mind of haze
Empty me my heart, the night bleeds no harm
Trip the light, trip the light, trip the light
Inside, tantalize, torture me my dear
Going on, going out, can't believe you're here
I know we can go, I know we can go
State of mind of haste...
