Midnight Sun 04:27
The sun is getting low The times are getting late Cuz is hasn’t gone down Doesn’t mean there’s time to waste A midnight sun is rising A dawning of the day The uncertainty of future Storms in like a Runaway train Musical interlude Ice is slowly melting Quicker by the day The drive to the horizon Is just a quicker way Steal the land Recede the sand The maelstrom churns And The mountains burn And The mountains burn A calm before the storm A haven in the end A sliver of the silence As smoke signals Trail around the bend A retreat of rocks and snow Of sheep and cotton bush Reflections of hubris so big It casts a shadow On the woods Steal the land Recede the sand The maelstrom churns And The mountains burn And The mountains burn Steal the land Recede the sand The maelstrom churns And The mountains burn And The mountains burn And The mountains burn And The mountains burn

Hide Away 04:18
i'm stuck in the cold I got no place to go Expectations of Old Age and Still Don’t know what to do I know what to do Dont know what to do now , I know what to do It’s a scary thing When the mind is racing Feet are pacing Thoughts erasing And convoluted Unconcluded Thoughts protrude of Dreams uprooted It might sound rude but I’m no fool and I can smell When something’s brewing The time is fleeting So why’m I beating My own head in with My own fist In the dark I’m sleeping Black and whit dreams Where the sunbeams….. Hide away…..

Same Song 03:04
I can’t feel the rain On my face But I can see the Sunshine From this dark place And though it might seem I’m talking ‘bout myself I’m talking bout the world And the worlds up for sale It can seem futile When You try to explain And the people closest ya Even they think your insane And maybe they agree That story needs to change It’s all business as usual and the songs remains the same But there’s still another way But we have to make that choice We gotta stand up right now for those without a voice Why have we set the bar so low? In exchange for what’s right? For our lives? Why we throw our hands up at the sight of someone’s struggle and their plight? Why can’t you that that’s your fight Why we throw our hands up at the sight of someone’s struggle and their plight? Can’t you see that that’s our fight? We can’t give up this easy Cuz we know we need to change if we want to make it right This song can’t remain the same The time to rise is now Cuz we're killing off ourselves While consuming our last bite And forever say good night

Survive This 04:11
I can survive this I lived through so much filth Grime Darkness Human psychic decay And the times seemed like they would never end Wasting away in the cold dark Attics my Life Stretched out in this tiny bed with nothing but these tiny pills to make me numb and pent up with energy you could spray it all over the Suburbs. Slept on cold Floors in dirty rooms of those who tried to Suck the life out of me, of me, of me, suck the life out of me Why don’t we try these It might just blow our minds Like that time In the woods Outside Tallahassee And the time seems Like it never would end Under a bush In the rain With the spider I see Woke up on the beach with the sun burning down Surrounded by drums On the outskirts of town And the sand is real wet In my eyes in my head so burnt out I thought I’d be better off dead It’s hard to explain such welcome demise I’m not gonna do it’s just an urge inside So I bury it deep Deep down in the sand To think that the end was right there in my hand And I still don’t know how to sleep Just don’t know how to sleep Stretched out in this tiny bed with nothing but these tiny pills to make me numb and pent up with energy you could spray it all over the Suburbs. Slept on cold Floors in dirty rooms of those who tried to Suck the life out of me, of me, of me, suck the life out of me

Still Same 02:49
Was it 25 years ago? Popped in a zeppelin tape, or was it Green Day Some things haven’t really changed Still staying up all night, writing songs about my life They told me I don’t know How to surf upon the sea and salty wave But don't I know like to float And peer below the coral to a limestone cave And i don't really care, so no need to bother me Strum my guitar off time, it sounds alright you see Still not eating meat Still sitting when i pee Still cry at times Still not human Still sometimes it still seems like it’s Still then Distractions really got me down Giving me the run around, fall apart all over town Something haven’t really changed Still blow my own mind, still running outta time They told me I don’t know How to surf upon the sea and salty wave But don't I know like to float And peer below the coral to a limestone cave And i don't even really care, so no need to bother me Strum my guitar off time, it sounds alright you see Still not eating meat, Still sitting when i pee Still cry at time Still not human Still sometime it still seems like it’s Still then

Go out and see world Find out what’s going on If it wasn’t for these times Then i wouldn’t were these songs Yeah, I’m still here Figuring out what is wrong What is wrong with the world? Why we keep dropping bombs? We’re chewing on the bones Voting just because we’re scared getting kicked out of our homes We’re in debt without healthcare And while we sit at home, we sit home and we Stare Staring at our fucking phones Buying shit without a care Excruciating in decay To watch the world just waste away Humans walking with no spine The cognitive is in decline Eat a cow chicken bat or pangolin Dog cat fish bunny or orangutan I guess your into torture I guess that’s your you thing Separate a family Eat em up by the bin Consume your life away in vain while others suffer from the Change Burn the creature Burn the pine The cognitive is in decline BURNOUT Burn the creature Burn the pine The cognitive is in decline Burn the creature Burn the pine The cognitive is in decline

You can catch me riding on a southbound train I'mma running, I'mma riding, ill be back again in the bitter end you know im gonna be back again Don't know how and I don't know when try to catch me like a feather in the blowing wind Will I be back again? Don't if ill be back again... Sometime you gotta ride the train Sometimes you gotta drive the train These two things the same they ain't Take what you can, leave what you can't You can catch me riding on a southbound train i'mma running, ill be riding, ill be back again in the bitter end you know I'm gonna be back again Don't know how and I don't know when Try to catch me like a feather in the blowing wind Will I be back again? Don't if ill be back again...… May ride my wagon to the north find some trash and build a fort dry some berries and some plant use what can, leave what you can't use what can, leave what you can't take what you can, leave what you can't use what can, leave what you can't take what you can, leave what you can't

Home Burial 03:29
I feel good When I’m at home When I’m not I’m lost and alone I like to be around the many people That I love I’ve fallen out of love But not with you It was myself who, who we’ve lost And I’m on the search once again Chorus Ya know, home is where the heart is So they say No wonder I’ve fallen so far away And at the moment there’s no map to read There’s nothing really good to say It’s just the voices in my brain Cover me in dirt Till I can’t breath These days I’m cold There’s nothing inside’ I am numb and I am tired But I keep on pushing till I fall asleep And I can’t stop Because I know That I must go on this show There’s energy brewing somewhere In these wings Ya know, home is where the heart is So they say No wonder I’ve fallen so far away And at the moment there’s no map to read There’s nothing really good to say It’s just the voices in my brain Cover me in dirt Till I can’t breath Ya know, home is where the heart is So they say No wonder I’ve fallen so far away And at the moment there’s no map to read There’s nothing really good to say It’s just the voices in my brain Cover me in dirt And nail up the coffin I’m going insane But it won’t stay this way
