I AM MINE

The selfish they're all standin' in line
Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time
Me I figure as each breath goes by
I only own my mind

The north is to south what the clock is to time
There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
I know I was born and i know that I'll die
The in between is mine
I am mine

And the feeling, it gets left behind
All the innocence lost at one time
Significant behind the eyes
There's no need to hide...
We're safe tonight

The ocean is full cause everyone's crying
The full moon is looking for friends at hightide
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied
I only know my mind 
I am mine

And the meaning, it gets left behind
All the innocents lost at one time
Significant behind the eyes
There's no need to hide...
We're safe tonight

And the feelings that get left behind
All the innocence broken with lies
Significance, beetween the lines
We may need to hide

And the meanings that get left behind
All the innocents lost at one time
We're all different behind the eyes
There's no need to hide

DOWN

Down.. fell by the wayside
No getting out
Down.. cry me a river
Dried up and damned

The names.. can be changed
But the place.. is still the same
I am loaded, told that alls for naught
Holds me down

Rise.. the world is in motion
I'm stuck in line
Rise.. you cant be neutral
On a moving train

One day.. the symptoms fade
Think ill throw.. these pills away

And if hope could grow dirt like me
It can be done

Won't let the light escape from me
Won't let the darkness swallow me

BU$HLEAGUER

How does he do it? How do they do it? Uncanny and immutable.
This is such a happening tailpipe of a party.
Like sugar, the guests are so refined

A confidence man, but why so beleagued?
He's not a leader, he's a Texas leaguer
Swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike
Drilling for fear, makes the job simple
Born on third, thinks he got a triple

Blackout weaves its way through the cities
Blackout weaves its way through the cities
Blackout weaves its way,...

I remember when you sang
That song about today
Now it's tomorrow and
Everything has changed

A think tank of aloof multiplication
A nicotine wish and a colossus decanter
Retrenchment and hoggishness
The aristocrat choir sings
"What's the ruckus?"
The raves have not a clue
The immenseness of suffering
And the odd negotiation, a rarity
With onionskin plausibility of life,
And a keyboard reaffirmation

Blackout weaves its way through the cities
Blackout weaves its way through the cities
Blackout weaves its way,...

I remember when you sang
That song about today
Now it's tomorrow and
Everything has changed

I remember when you sang
That song about today
Now it's tomorrow and
Everything has changed

UNDONE

Last stop on the west coast line
South of the northern border
One small corner, home tonight
Everybody, they know me there
Don't get any second glances
Chances are that they don't care

The world it's come undone 
Like to change it everyday
Change don't come at once
There's a wave building before it breaks

Can't wait for election day
Where the nasty occupation
Corporations rule the day
Workin' on the pendulum throws
Further out to the one side, swinging
Has to sweep back the other way

The world has come undone
Another day and who can wait
Change don't come at once
It's a wave building before it breaks

All this hope and nowhere to go
This is how i used to feel, but no more

The world has come undone
Like a game that you can play
Change don't come from one
It's a wave building before it breaks
