Living Days 02:58
Destiny's like energy Left behind and still they're counting Try to hide, try to eat Finding life so bittersweet Confess your worst And then you're cursed Destination nowhere World's absurd, have you heard? Welcome to your Living Days Life's an any ways… Living Days Life's an any ways… Confession of possession Human need, or are we just listening Told to claim and build your fame Till you hold all sacred trees And pay for these Our possession is our curse So ride your hearse down the road of victory What do you see? Jealousy and harmony Fighting for her glory War is pure, and unsure Fighting for her treasures… Living Days Life's an any ways… Living Days Life's an any ways… Jealousy and harmony Fighting for her glory War is pure, and unsure Fighting for her treasures… Living Days Life's an any ways… Living Days Life's an any ways… Living Days Life's an any ways… Living Days Life's an any ways…

Wake up and smell the roses They're blowing in the air As I touch her perfect scented hair… Now do I dare, cross the line I cross enemy lines Would you care, if I stare For a moment's time? Rewind… She looks like a skeleton, moves like a specimen Another modified human She smells like a magazine, dressed for the tele screen Another modified being, yeah… Wake up and smell the roses fine And drink your perfect blood, your wine I hear a voice calling my name And I don't know whether to blame My fame, or so you know the name Of her… I keep on listening slow I keep on listening slow So steady as she goes… She looks like a skeleton, moves like a specimen Another modified human She smells like a magazine, dressed for the tele screen Another modified being, yeah… Hey… Sing Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey-yeah Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey… Sing Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey-e, yeah…

I’d Like To See The World With You… Fly The Sky & Sail… The Ocean Blue… But If We Couldn’t Be…There’s Nothin’ I Wanna Do ‘Cause See One’s Just Not As Perfect, As Two… With You… All My Worries Seem To Disappate In Air With You… Never In My Life Felt So Aware… With You… I Find Myself In An Endless Stare With You… There’s Nothin’ Else That Compares I’d Like To Take You To The Moon And Hideaway Wrapped Up Tight, Locked In Our Cocoon And I’d Hold You Everyday, In Our “Puzzle-Pieced Way” Just As Long, As You’d Let Me Stay… With You… All My Worries Seem To Disappate In Air With You… Never In My Life Felt So Aware… With You… I Find Myself In An Endless Stare With You… There’s Nothin’ Else That Compares (Oooooh, Ooooooh, Oooooh, Oooooh…) I’d Like To Take You Undersea And Show You The Life, You Used To Be… And I Would Hold Your Hand, Even If No One Understands ‘Cause See I Finally Know, Where I’m Supposed To Be… With You… All My Worries Seem To Disappate In Air With You… Never In My Life Felt So Aware… With You… I Find Myself In An Endless Stare With You… There’s Nothin’ Else That Compares

I don't know where to go I don't know where to be But still I'm here… Catching tiger's by tails Gettin' slashed with their nails No time for fear… Living life in the next Over-thinking complex The new career… Took my paper degree To make a melody And I'm still here… I don't know where to go I don't know where to be But still I'm here… Catching tiger's by tails Gettin' slashed with their nails No time for fear… Living life in the next Over-thinking complex The new career… Took my paper degree To make a melody And I'm still here...

The Door 04:39
Everything you see Turns into... Infinity It's all around me And still I have to breathe... Never seen just a place Like I see today... And by the way The way we move Makes it time to see... Our imortality. You don't know what you got until it's gone I heard the same song written so many times before Now I'm lying on the floor, wanting more... Would you let me in, or leave me at the door. You don't know what you got until it's gone I heard the same song written so many times before Now I'm lying on the floor, wanting more...

I gotta get away Ah… Baby let me Ah… I ain't got the time to get free… Choo-Choo (X4) Now baby open your eyes Do you see my surprise It's waitin' here for you Everything you ever wanted Everything you ever needed Everything you ever knew… Ah...

Alone Stone 02:02
One, Two, Three… Oh's… My own dreams tell you truth as fable as they seem But when my eyes are closed I feel like I am in a dream I hope that you would wait for me, on the other side I know it's simple but it's running through me all the time And I… I feel alone, yeah So I'll… Just keep on rollin' like a stone Can you feel me now, confused Take these three small simple words And do with them what you want to I hope that you would wait for me, on the other side I know it's simple but it's running through me all the time And I… I feel alone, yeah So I'll… Just keep on rollin' like a stone I don't want to sleep (Just close your eyes…) The night is keeping sheep (From running free outside…) I don't wanna sleep I wanna stay awake all night!

Routine Way 03:10
I remember when I had a calendar Tellin' me where to be if I wasn't sure But after a while I started to see That my life was running on repeat So I took my schedule and I threw it out the door But now I couldn't tell you what my life would have in store See I'm just an empty slate with some energy to dream And I'm feeling as stable as a pebble in a stream, yeah… Wake up, wake up Goes the alarm clock Get up, get up It's a brand new day Put on, Put on Your clothes and your makeup And enjoy your stay At the Routine Way… The Routine Way… Time is flying and you don't know what you've seen Pots of coffee with expired magazines Desks piled high with their in's and out's I just can't believe that's what life's about See I'm sure you've got a family If you don't you probably will And if you find a lover You'll find the time is still And if you get a puppy dog He'll always be your friend But if you fall into a pattern All of this depends… Wake up, wake up Goes the alarm clock Get up, get up It's a brand new day Put on, Put on Your clothes and your makeup And enjoy your stay At the Routine Way… The Routine Way… Now I urge you to take a break And read yourself a book Or go into the art museum And have yourself a look Take your lady or your gent On a walk through the park And stay to watch the sunset Until it's dark Have a potluck dinner with your family Or a group of friends over for Monopoly ® And when you've done all of this You'll finally understand That love isn't able to be Counted on your hand, yeah… Wake up, wake up Goes the alarm clock Get up, get up It's a brand new day Put on, Put on Your clothes and your makeup And thank you for your stay At the Routine Way… The Routine Way It's brand new day The Routine Way, yeah...

Song #2 04:32
I've seen the bottom, I've seen the sky But still I'm gonna try Said some wishes, cried a tear And still I'm glad I'm here Don't go waitin' for me 'Cause I just got to be free I found my wishes, you find yours I'll meet you at the seize of perfection shores… Yeah... Forgotten hours, forsaken sky And still I'm askin' why Provoke the reason, forgive the lie As long as we understand why… Don't go waitin' for me 'Cause I just got to be free I found my wishes, you find yours I'll meet you at the seize of perfection shores… Yeah... Don't go waitin' for me 'Cause I just got to be free I found my wishes, you find yours I'll meet you at the seize of perfection shores… Yeah...

Must be the best Better than the West Better than the rest Are you keeping' score? The sky is beneath us Yet we still see stars And we marry to white picket fence What's yours, is mine, is ours… Fortunes are made, while brother's are lost Considered just an ordinary business cost Is it wrong to reside in a place you belong? Is it wrong to believe in the worlds to a song? A heartbeat is only as good As the soul that can utilize mind Intellect entering Bohemian clubs Leaving everyone blind… Father foundation, you never can fail The brains have backed your name Whether crooked betrayers, or selfless savers Knowledge is the game… Fortunes are made, while brother's are lost Considered just an ordinary business cost Is it wrong to reside in a place you belong? Is it wrong to believe in the worlds to a song? Fortunes are made, while brother's are lost Considered just an ordinary business cost Is it wrong to reside in a place you belong? Is it wrong to believe in the worlds to a song?
