Supersonic
Well, am I making haste or could it be haste is making me
What's time but a thing to kill or keep or buy or lose or live in
I gotta go faster keep up the pace
Just to stay in the human race
I could go supersonic, the problem's chronic.
Tell me does life exist beyond it?
When I need to sate, I just accelerate into oblivion
Into oblivion
Now here I go again, everything is alien
How does it feel to be outstripped by the pace of cultural change
My deeds are senseless and rendered meaningless
When measured in that vein
I could go supersonic, the problem's chronic.
Tell me does life exist beyond it?
When I need to sate, I just accelerate into oblivion
I won't lie,(Pace setters, go getters)
it's exciting (rat racers, forgetters)
when I try (researchers, berserkers)
to decide things. (Strategies to help the workers)
I just want to live (New time saving devices)
decently, (quick vices, young crisis)
meaningfully (brevity, dependency )
I'm in misery (digital efficiency)
I could go supersonic, the problem's chronic.
Tell me does life exist beyond it?
When I need to sate, I just accelerate into oblivion

Prove It
Hit the road in wander mode, inquire along the way
Savoir-faire in full despair while living day-to-day
My heart is not a cold cauldron of proof
I don't ever need to prove myself to you... No!
Looking back I'm off the tracks more times than I recognize
Mistakes are another opportunity to refine
My heart is not a cold cauldron of proof
I don't ever need to prove myself to you
There's no such thing as hell
But you can make it if you try
There might come a day
When emotion can be quantified but as of now
There's no proof necessary
No proof necessary
No proof necessary
There's no proof necessary
It's only in your mind

Can't Stop It
I'm incurable but durable it's easy to see
Lack of restraint is a complaint of those around me
I know that others postpone
Gratification well I lack that affectation
Let's get it right (Let's get it right), there's no end in sight, and I
Can't stop(Can't stop), can't stop it(Can't stop), can't stop(Can't stop)
Can't stop shocking, but I just can't stop it!
...that's right!
Uncontrollable, I'm inconsolable
May pleasure center is the shelter for a reptile
I hate when I gotta tolerate
Frustration, see I lack the motivation
Let's set this straight (Let's set this straight), I never wait and I
Can't stop (Can't stop), can't stop it (Can't stop), can't stop (Can't stop)
Can't stop shocking, but I just can't stop it!
...that's right!

Broken
She said thanks but I'm broken
I guess you must have misspoken
What a laugh I've never been chosen by anyone
She was barely a teen, hangin' out in-between
Just a part of the scene
With mercurial smile and incurable style
She was only a dream
How's that, he didn't know a thing about
Making love to the kind of girl you read about
He said I'm bound to be broken
My daddy bet that I'd amount to nothing
He won't let anybody show him anything
He was a troubled child, had been down for a while
Always kept to himself
No she couldn't defend he only wanted a friend,
Now he's made something else
It's so sad, no one saw it coming,
The paper said that he hit the ground running
Oh yeah I know I'm not broken
A little cracked but still I'm not broken
I wanna laugh but I think that I'm choking on reality
When the world is turning for you don't turn on me
Who are you here to repair well I don't know what you mean
You couldn't ever resist glorifying despair
and now it's coming to you and I don't really care
While I'm not the kind to insist you couldn't have missed
We must co-exist
So please listen to me
There is no such thing as human debris
Oh yeah I know I'm not broken
A little cracked but that amounts to nothin'
I wanna laugh, I'm not jokin'
I'm unbroken (Oh yeah, I said I'm not broken)
I said I'm unbroken (A little cracked, it's just a token)
I'm really not broken (well I guess... I'm unbroken)

Destined For Nothing
Yah Hey! Woah!
Who do you believe can put some meaning in your life?
meaning in your life?
meaning in your life?
Who do you conceive to provide you guidance and light?
guidance and light?
guidance and light?
Are they waiting for you in the by and by?
Do you even have to try?
Headed for eternity and destined for nothing
The future isn't difficult to see
(It's easy) to confuse grand design with life's repercussions
Lament not your vanquished fantasy
It's only destiny
Why do you consent to live in ignorance and fear?
ignorance and fear?
ignorance and fear?
Ancient people succumbed to it, can it happen here?
can it happen here?
can it happen here?
Does it make you suffer, cause you have you have to die?
Is it best to live a lie?
Headed for eternity and destined for nothing
The future isn't difficult to see
(It's easy) to confuse grand design with life's repercussions
Lament not your vanquished fantasy
It's only destiny
Why can't you see, there ain't no destiny for you and me?
there ain't no destiny

Materialist
You're obsessed and distressed cause you can't make any sense
Of the ludicrous nonsense and incipient senescence
That will deem your common sense useless, this ain't no recess!
I want to believe in you but my plan keeps falling through
I know I have to face the harshness, grin and bare the truth
And I have to walk this mile in my own shoes (but and I'm no fool!)
A materialist a full-on realist
I guess I'm full of doubt so I'm prone to have it out with you
A materialist there ain't no fear in this
It's there for all to see so don't talk of hidden mystery with me
Mind over matter it really don't matter
If the street's idle chatter turns your hearts dreams to tatters
Flatter hopes don't flatter and soul batter won't congeal to mend
A life gets shattered into shards, was it in the cards?
The process of belief is an elixir when you're weak
I must confess, at times I indulge it on the sneak
But generally my outlook's not so bleak (and I'm not meek!)
A materialist call me a humanist
I guess I'm full of doubt so I'll finally have it out with you
A materialist I ain't no deist
It's there for all to see so don't talk of hidden mystery with me
Like Rome under Nero, our future's one big zero
Recycling the past to meet immediate needs
And through it all we amble forth to persevere and climb
Our mountains of regret to sow our seeds
A materialist!

Kyoto Now!
It's a matter of prescience but not the science fiction kind
It's all about ignorance, and greed, and miracles for the blind
The media parading, disjointed politics
Founded on petro-chemical plunder and we're its hostages
If you stand to reason you're in the game
The rules may me elusive but our pieces are the same
And you know if one goes down we all do down as well
The balance is precarious as anyone can tell
This world's going to hell
Don't allow this mythologic hopeful monster to exact its price
Kyoto now! We can't do nothing and think someone else will make it right
You might not think it matters now but what if you are wrong
You might not think there's any wisdom in a fucked up punk rock song
But the way it is cannot persist for long,
A brutal sun is rising on our sick horizon
It's in the way we live our lives
Exactly like the double edge of a cold familiar knife
And supremacy weighs heavy on the day
It's never really what you own but what you threw away
And how much did you pay?
Don't allow this mythologic hopeful monster to exact its price
Kyoto now! We can't do nothing and think someone else will make it right
In your dreams you saw a steady bounty for eternity
Silent screams but now the wisdom that sustains us is in full retreat
Don't allow this mythologic hopeful monster isn't worth the risk
Kyoto now! We can't have vision for the future if it can't be fixed
Alien We need a fresh and new religion to run our lives
Hand in hand The arid torpor of inaction will be our demise
Oh... Kyoto now

Sorrow
Father can you hear me?
How have I let you down?
I curse the day that I was born
And all the sorrow in this world
Let me take you to the hurting ground
Where all good men are trampled down
Just to settle a bet that could not be won
Between a prideful father and his son
Will you guide me now, for I can't see
A reason for the suffering and this long misery
What if every living soul could be upright and strong
Well, then I do imagine...
There will be sorrow
Yeah there will be sorrow
And there will be sorrow, no more
When all soldiers lay their weapons down
Or when all kings and all queens relinquish their crowns
Or when the only true messiah rescues us from ourselves
It's easy to imagine...
There will be sorrow
Yeah there will be sorrow
And there will be sorrow, no more

Epiphany
A new age of reason, brain treason to trick the mind
What good is searching if nothing's there to find?
We arrive at this place of no return my brothers
Only to discover that our minds have led us away
So far from the painful truth of who we are
What's right is wrong, what's come has gone, what's clear and pure is not so sure
It came to me
All promises become a lie, all that's benign corrupts in time
The fallacy of epiphany
Come forth bear witness, see the profit from your loss
Beg for forgiveness only after you tally the cost
We arrive at this place of no return my sisters
Only to discover that our values ran us aground
On the shoal in the sea of what we could be
If it's real for me do I have to prove it to you?
Why do revelations fade to cold blue untruths?
It's oh so relative subservient in total: one's perspective

Evangeline
She came from heaven well there's no point belaboring that
I've seen some trouble I must admit that I'm in demand
I confront rejection with magnetic good intentions and yet
Hey Jack, get back, in fact don't do that
I act sharp but feel uncertain
cause next time it could be curtains
Evangeline (Evangeline) conspirator so fine
Lend me your faith cause mine is broken
Compared to mine what is your crime Evangeline
Now just to be certain let's be sure to set the record straight
I could use an angel but I don't intend to split up the take
Never go for treason but I got reasons that don't warrant debate
My act's intact and in fact you're not all that
You act sure, but you're uncertain
cause next time it could be curtains
Evangeline(Evangeline) conspirator so fine
Lend me your faith cause mine is broken
Compared to mine what is your crime Evangeline
Well, there's no use turning back
It's already much to late
When the house is burning
Evangeline conspirator so fine
Lend me your faith cause mine is broken
Compared to mine what is your crime Evangeline

The Defense
Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today.
Mass paranoia is a mode not a malady.
I'd like to watch a thousand cable channels but there's nothing on,
And my high-speed connection's monitored daily by the pentagon.
These things are seldom what they seem.
I'm not inclined to enjoy my dreams.
Won't go away.
No peace and no friends.
We trace the mortal edge.
To state the obvious, this world is perilous for us.
No sense and no guide.
Ain't it beautiful to be alive. (yeah right)
I won't resign before the struggle ends,
So I'll construct a sound defense.
We are the prey and culture is the predator.
I'm running out of time.
Where conditions are positional.
Shadows of a doubt cast reluctance and depravity.
There's got to be a way to overcome this grim reality.
Is there an option left for me?
I'm not immune to despondency.
There's no way.
No peace and no friends.
We trace the mortal edge.
To state the obvious, this world is perilous for us.
No sense and no guide.
Ain't it beautiful to be alive. (yeah right)
I won't resign before the struggle ends,
So I'll construct a sound defense.
There's a signpost on the corner, and it keeps everybody safe
We were all made in the shade.
And your mother's in the kitchen, where she's patching all the cracks in the wall.
We never had a care in the world.
(no shade) Too much to sacrifice,
(no light) It's hard to recognize.
(just black) Traps and compromise (and white) obscuring deadly alibis
(my plans) It's combinational.
(designs) The pressure's so intense,
So I construct a sound defense (no way)
Nothing's plainer than madness in the world today. (no sign)
I must conceal myself and steal myself and break away. (no grace)
I'll seek initiative in matters that are black and white, (no sense)
So I construct a sound defense.

The Lie
How do you know what you can be if you can't see where you are going?
What breaks the silence?
Misery can make you see where you belong.
It's a dangerous stage, but the show must go on.
Why do you lie, why do you lie? Would you betray your soul?
Why do you lie, why do you lie? Don't let you weakness show.
You just might be the last to know.
Freedom is such a loaded word, so full of hurt and such aplomb.
Loneliness saunters in its breeze, like a disease it drags along.
The time of you life can't be had for a song.
Why do you lie, why do you lie? Would you betray your soul?
Why do you lie, why do you lie? Don't let you weakness show.
You just might be the last to know.
Why do you lie, why do you lie? Would you betray your soul?
Why do you lie, why do you lie? Don't let you weakness show.
Why do you lie, why do you lie? Only the meek follow.
Why do you lie, why do you lie? Trample the fear below.
You just might be the last to know.

You Don't Belong
Hey you, is there something we're aspiring to?
And can it be found in a record store?
Well, It's not there anymore,
Just think of all the things were did.
We were different, Just like all the other kids,
Missy was a teen blue video star, Tom took his life in his mothers car,
Milo went to college, but you knew about that,
Rodney played our records, Jimmy started riots,
Laurie was always quiet, she was battling depression.
Hey you, is there something worth belonging to?
And can I pick it up for a song?
Or a diploma, or a worthy cause.
Well, let me tell you that there's nothing wrong,
It's just that ones like us will never belong.
Jack wore a skirt but he knew how to scrap.
Billy went to county on a class one possession.
Wendy went to school while her daddy shot smack.
Eugene kept a list, Mugger was security, Mary, she kept her purity.
We were all in it together.
Yellowed postcards on the wall serve to cover up a blankness after all,
So I will carry them along, like a song, when I'm gone.
Hey you, is there something worth belonging to?
You know, we've been here all along like a confederacy of the wrong,
and I confess it could be prejudice,
but to you I dedicate this song,
Yeah you!

Bored And Extremely Dangerous
With nothing better to do.
No one to come home to.
I woefully conclude, to take it out on you.
I'm bored to the extreme, this world of foolish dreams.
Disillusion.
I am not who I seem to be.
Yeah sure I might do harm, and bear my right to arm
Retribution.
If only someone would listen to me.
listen to me. listen to me.
listen to me. listen to me.
A room and empty shelf,
A book on mental health.
I look for inner wealth by punishing myself.
I'm bored to the extreme, this world of foolish dreams.
Disillusion.
I am not who I seem to be.
Yeah sure I might do harm, and bear my right to arm
Retribution.
If only someone would listen to me.
listen to me. listen to me.
listen to me. listen to me.
