“Memorial Day”
I take a breath
I check my pulse
I Close my eyes
And try to stall
I check the phone
You didn’t call
I hear the whispers
Out in the hall
something’s gotta give
this time
that isn’t me
I take the pills
I kick the walls
I see the stars
I watch them fall
I see the moon
you hear me call
I hear the whispers
out in the hall
something’s gotta give
this time
that isn’t me
I kick the pills
I scratch the walls
I see the stars
I watch them fall
I check the phone
You didn’t call
I hear the whispers
Out in the hall
something’s gotta give
this time
that isn’t me
I take the pills
I kick the walls
I see the stars
I watch them fall
I see the moon
you hear me call
I hear the whispers
out in the hall
something’s gotta give
this time
that isn’t me

“SunDazed”
I stole an aeroplane
Crashed into the sun
Hanging in a solar haze
My phaser set to stun
Lost for a thousand days
Couldn’t find the one
Just then I pulled a string
Now everything’s undone
Oh no woe is me
I caught a shooting star
Sparked across the sky
rode hard like a borrowed car
I’m too afraid to drive
Let go before it fell apart
the whole world passed me by
Didn’t take me very far
But I think I enjoyed the ride
Oh no woe is me
I stole an aeroplane
Crashed into the sun
Hanging in a solar haze
My phaser set to stun
Lost for a thousand days
Couldn’t find the one
Just then I pulled a string
Now everything’s undone
You get what you want
It’s not what you need
You get what you want
It’s not what you need
Oh no woe is me

“Empires Fall”
Traces of fire
on the horizon
Rome is burning
and it lights up the sky
we’re racing the river
down to the ocean
the world is turning
right down to the wire
I had a dream
you said you love me
but I was awake
and you were somebody else
Placing the blame
only with our eyes
taste the ashes
and swallow them down
we wasted forever
out in the darkness
morning is coming
and no one’s around
I had a dream
you said you love me
but I was awake
and you were somebody else

“Second to None”
Sometimes I wake up confused.
I’m not sure if I’m really awake
or if I’m still dreaming.
And sometimes when I’m dreaming,
you know, I’m not sure
if maybe I’m really awake.
And honestly,
I don’t know which is fucking worse
Welcome to hell,
it’s second to none.
I’m so fucking numb.
I can’t feel my legs,
I can’t feel my hands,
I can’t feel my face,
I can’t feel my…
When I close my eyes,
I can feel the earth spinning,
and it keeps going faster
the louder I scream.
I hold on as tight as I can,
but I know one day,
gravity will fail me
Welcome to hell,
it’s second to none.
I’m so fucking numb.
I can’t feel my legs,
I can’t feel my hands,
I can’t feel my face,
I can’t feel my…

“This Time”
A simple life
and a steady mind
but you can’t fall apart this time
No, you can’t fall apart this time
Take a breath
and close your eyes
cause you can’t fall apart this time
No, you can’t fall apart this time

“Outta the Blue”
You can’t know indecision
when you’re out there chasing dreams
waking up in new dimensions
where birds hum and bees don’t sting
Then here you come, out of the blue
here you come out of the blue
here you come out of the blue
There are no consequences
when you know you’ve gone too far
no remainder in long division
when you burnt out all the stars
Then here you come, out of the blue
here you come out of the blue
here you come out of the blue
It’s hard to ignore the voices
when you know you’re often wrong
Different days, same fucking choices
I can’t breathe unless I’m out of control
Then here you come, out of the blue
here you come out of the blue
here you come out of the blue
You can’t know indecision
when you’re out there chasing dreams
waking up in new dimensions
where birds hum and bees don’t sting
Then here you come, out of the blue
here you come out of the blue
here you come out of the blue

“L.M.o.E.”
I was lying in the grass
Thinking bout the end of the world
Flat on my back
Sinking straight into the dirt
when the new sky comes at dawn
I’ll be right here on my own
the Last man on Earth
Do whatever makes you feel good
Do whatever gets you high
I was lying to the Man
Thinking bout the luck of the draw
Steel in my spine
Face flat into the wall
Indulge me one last smoke
You might finally get the joke
but still here we are
Do whatever makes you feel good
Do whatever gets you high
I was floating in a cloud
waiting round for gravity’s call
restless and proud
turning straight into the fall
if the sun no longer shines
i’ll be right here doing time
the last man on earth
Do whatever makes you feel good
Do whatever gets you high
