1.Biggest Lie
Ladies and gentleman we interrupt
or program of dance music to
bring you a special bulletin
from the in continental news.'
The writing's on the wall,
but no one cares at all
To convey the message
that we wrote ourselves
Destroy the walls we mend
and burn the candle at both ends
(I really think we are)
Becoming more mindless of the heart
(Becoming everything we hate)
Building our castles for the future
(A Trojan horse is at the gate)
Built by the enemy that we made
It's false sincerity,
we hear celebrities
'Buy a hybrid if you can'
with ten years of your food stamps
Caught myself listening to
sheltered excuses for human beings
(So it becomes elite)
They separate then what have we got？
(Nothing in common with their wealth)
One clip can change public opinion
(One sin can send you straight to hell)
Learned how to lie and not get caught
More piss in the melting pot
Shut out majority with riches
(Their words become more valuable)
Then the voice of a million
starving children
(That they have a million ways to solve)
Left freedom bleeding on the roadside,
We believe the biggest lie
2.I Want To Be Wrong
Let me introduce myself,
my name is no concern
The room is filled
with superficial voices
As the smoke clears
I can see one hundred little lies
Racing to the finish
for a consolation prize
I want to be wrong
I wish that I was uncertain
just like yesterday
This is not who I am,
been planning my escape
So long now that my map
looks like a maze
Always on the dark side
of a pessimistic moon
Or burning in the sun of
what they're saying
If you have the foresight
can you read between the lines？
Finger two and four
inviting fingers one and five
To be in this song,
it's nothing I can shut off
But I think it's my place
To let you know I know
that all your plans are fake
And what you give me
I could never take
Are you confusing me with
someone else you hardly even know
I'm sitting here observing
and more often I am learning
That you are an artist and
this is your show... so sing it
I want to be wrong but
what did i really think
That this could become real？
Now writing in cliches
to learn from my mistakes
But how much of you
could anyone take？
3.Yours To Destroy
Suddenly I see myself returning
To the scene where
I was ridden of this crime
Looking at the outline
of the chalk drawn on the street
I left so much behind here
that the silhouette was me
I never thought that we were miserable
But how can two be only
in it for themselves？
There is nothing left to say,
I've swallowed my tongue anyway
Driving out into another state,
I can see the road behind me
Falling back into the same mistake,
so hard to avoid
Never will the smallest voice again
be silent, yours to destroy
Panic followed blindly by depression
When the roads become
the buildings in your mind
Moving up the elevator
to floor sixty-three
A metaphor？ Yes that is right
I still cannot be free
On the roof I start to realize
I may not have a hope
at least I have this view
Apologies for what's been said,
half of which was in my head
Driving out into another state,
I can see the road behind me
Falling back into the same mistake,
so hard to avoid
Never will the smallest voice again
be silent, yours to destroy
And if I have to follow you,
you will not rip this
heart of mine in two
You cannot break this chain
But you can build a wall to
shut me out if you so choose
I know that I have come and gone
But I can't keep pulling myself away
A noose around my neck
I walk around the city
as the night becomes the day
And if you come around
I may just not be found
4.Under The Garden
On a morning in November
you were blinded by the sun
In your place that makes you feel
so safe from everyone
You're totally oblivious to world poverty
Not affected by the millions
that you don't see
And so we toast to opportunity
and talk about the weather
Although we never look
each other in the eye
We are paranoid and out of step
with every word that we just said
We all sound f＊＊king crazy and
no one can lie down in their own bed
In a moment you will tell us
of your own personal hell
I'm starting to believe
that everyone is for themselves
We really don't have an eternity
to make our dreams come true
But thinking for tomorrow isn't in you
On my way down to the city
I was looking out the window
At some point you learned
to look the other way
We're so desperate it's dangerous,
we basically have lost our heads
Responsible for nothing but
taking credit where ever we can
And so we live under the garden
where we can hide
And not smell the dregs of earth
Beneath the sun of the same planet,
inherit wealth, inherit dirt
And so we live under the garden
where we can hide
And not smell the dregs of earth
Beneath the sun of the same planet,
inherit wealth, inherit dirt
And so we live under the garden
where we can hide
And not smell the dregs of earth
Beneath the sun of the same planet,
inherit wealth, inherit dirt
And so we live under the garden
where we can hide
And not smell the dregs of earth
Beneath the sun of the same planet,
inherit wealth, inherit dirt
5.Sleeping Between Trucks
When you wait for
someone to come trough
I'm sorry to inform you of the news
On your own,
you'll stand in line and wait
To let them pick your poison
and then decide your fate
Standing on lines
that you never want to cross
Better listen to the boss
I know you're lonely too
I'm sleeping between trucks
thinking of you
Overwhelmed？
What do we really know？
We've never had to
live out on the road
In the next five years
I'm going to guess
The less we see the beauty,
the more we see this mess
In your room you see
a painting on the wall
But you don't see me at all
I know you're lonely too
I'm sleeping between trucks
thinking of you
I know you're lonely too
I'm sleeping between trucks
thinking of you
6.Domino
Blinding me it seems you cannot
help out with the situation
It always has to be
somebody's fault but never yours
Taking what I said and making things up
that did not exist before
Every time we say hello,
it's like meeting a total stranger
And when we're on our own you know
there's not much left to say
Just wait for everyone to
nod their head then you nod yours
What difference will that make？
Falling backwards like a domino
to a place where you cannot hide
You keep asking yourself is this real
or really just a lie？
Don't you love yourself enough
to kick them when they're in a corner？
I really have to go,
when I get back will you be gone？
Keeping your shape hidden
with your triangle intact,
I turn around but
I can see behind my back
Falling backwards like a domino
to a place where you cannot hide
You keep asking yourself is this real
or really just a lie？
Lie to yourself with
one hand on the switch
One to open doors that
lock from outside
I'm not here to beg
You'll have to learn to
swallow your pride... why？
To a place where you cannot hide
You keep asking yourself is this real
or really just a lie？
You keep asking yourself is this real
or really just a lie？
7.The Feel Good Song Of The Year
I never thought the day
would come when I
Would be the poison
in the pen I use to write
You said you were alone
in somewhat of a nervous tone
I guess it was the blank look
on your face that was easy to replace
So then I went and drank myself
into an idiot all through the night
Recounting all my paranoid and
selfish thoughts but I was right
I made a space for you inside my soul
And let my feelings kill
the part that I control
So part of you was me,
neglectful maybe cold it seemed
Despite having the wounds
we both imbibe, the scars are
Somewhere we can't hide
I then stayed up for two more years
just thinking of the sacrifice you made
Indifferent to the reason
so apparent in the pain
I polished off another drink and
taught myself to numb and drift away
For one more night so
I could justify the day
So now I entertain the thought
of going on all alone
But you are all the life
I've ever known
I swear one day I'll get it back
something that is already dead and gone
Again i see the trumpet player
looking for his song
Don't worry I won't follow you,
that part of me is learning to let got
What was a space is like
a cancer in my soul
8.The Trumpet Player
Always in the way,
I think I've had enough of this
Why is everyone so cold and lonely？
Here I go again, I'll try
relating to the selfishly absurd
Take me for a ride and
leave me somewhere I can live
Without feeling everybody's sorrow
I want to feel the numbness
that surrounds most of our hearts
To feel like I am normal
while ripping lives apart
Somewhere on the way to degradation
I met a man who put me in my place
He said,'You will not see me
You'll know the truth
when you hear this trumpet play'
Doctor can you give me something
for my state of mind？
If we're all on the
same pill it's alright
'Sorry son you'll have to
walk this bridge without a crutch
We're out of medication,
the world is out of love'
Just then I heard something
from the distance
The trumpet player
sitting on the hill
He said 'I really do not
have an answer now'
Then vanished standing still
In the face on everyone
I saw a little madness
And decided not to
be part of that scene
The only way it seemed
Always on the wrong side of affection
We step on heads to
get mere than we need
Never understanding the afterglow
The reflection of our greed
Never understanding the afterglow
The reflection of our greed
9.Night Of The Living Living
And so much can change
in a second when everybody's
Hiding the truth
An eternal quest for some
happiness is there anything we
Won't screw？
Like a loaded gun
if it sits too long,
eventually you'll work
Up the nerve
To abandon your herd
We got these remedies
for insecurities that nobody is
Listening to
All the mournful cries of
the less fortunate are so easy to
Say and not to
Like a funeral march
in the summer sun,
it's beautiful for
Something so sad
Concentrating on the things
we can't have
We all live in a cage
without space to use our heads
I'm more scared of
the living than the dead
In a hospital counting every breath
are you happy with no
One in you life？
As long as up to
this point you were right
But living scared is
just no way to die
10.Ontario
Dim light, saw you sleeping
The door is open waiting to be closed
And it's warm in this little room
But December is so cold
Waking to a nightmare
Passing out and hoping for a dream
That will bring back his memory
And everything you wanted was
so close to you that night
I don't know how you could
have dealt with this
But nothing could
prepare you for that risk
Reliving every minute
Makes the moment seem further away
Unimaginable for me
The room with the blue paint
No words can repair this
So why do people still talk about faith
When it's proven to be nothing great
Now everyday reminds you of
what could and should have been
I cannot find a last line to this song
Oh Yeah! Please remember
It must go on...
11.Pacific Standard Time
Sleep is also known as i'm awake
Addicted to the easy life
that everybody hates
I wonder should i call you or
just stare in space again
There's always a beginning on your end
Somebody get me off
this lonely sad parade
The differences a hundred miles
but a couple months away
I'm saying hello just to say goodbye
You must be tired of waiting
Or making plans to go
Somewhere between an empty feeling
and the worst one that you know
But i am saving every photograph of you
So every lie i live i see the truth
Cold December just got on the board
And every noise reminds me
of the suitcase by the door
I wonder should i wake you up,
i watch tv instead
These idiots are making me forget
How much you always
forgive everything i do
The time and space begin of certain
if i'm coming back to you
I'm saying this to let you know i try
You must be tired of waiting
Or making plans to go
Somewhere between an empty feeling
and the worst one that you know
But i am saving every photograph of you
So every lie i live i see the truth
Somebody get me off this lonely sad parade
The differences a hundred miles
but a couple months away
I'm saying hello just to say goodbye
12.The Dregs Of Sobriety
I hope someday that we can sit
and talk above the surface
For now I'm drowning in a sea of you
The irony of alcohol
and this conversation piece
Is exactly what we need to
keep us from the truth
So let me sit here all alone
and contemplate the meaning
Of a situation made up in your mind
You're so damn miserable
and careless with your
Darkest thoughts
You act as if your clock is fooling time
Say hello to routine life
and goodbye to the vacation
I haven't thought about you in two days
The more I see the in
between the more I want to leave
But it keeps on closing
in to the tune of selfish ways
So let me sit here all alone
and contemplate the meaning
Of a situation made up in your mind
You're so damn miserable
and careless with your
Darkest thoughts
You act as if your clock is fooling time
In your ashtray is the answer
to all the questions that
You had to prove
We are not going to keep
moving forward in our sleep
Can you save us？ Would you dare？
In a place where you refuse to care
13.Kill The Rich
The sky is still falling,
is there any end in sight？
And some are talking to
themselves as missiles fly
Through the night
But in the beginning there were
words with half a cause
Now everyone is singing it
and waiting for the applause
They don't think about you
when the payments keep on coming
But only to use you for a way
To make themselves appear
like an angel in the room
They soothe their guilty conscience
and tell it what to do
Synthetic compassion
and some poor-mouth bad advice
To get ahead they lay in bed
and sleep safe all through the night
A million to nothing,
like zombies they are frightening
Just smile and wave and pass on by
Denial is so strong
but the guilt just keeps it going
And give them a reason to say 'hi'
14.Take It Home
Nobody is talking about the hazy sky
'Have the mountains gotten smaller
Or is the water getting high？'
There's a light up on the hill,
illuminating glow
I think I want to go
But the light that keeps on burning
Is on the same page you've been turning
Ignorance for some is just a way of life
There is no message I am sending
just this thought process I own
It's time to take it home
Looking at the valley
where everybody grinds
I understand the purpose
but there is no end in sight
There's a little voice inside
that tells us what to do
How did we get this screwed？
But the light that keeps on burning
Is on the same page you've been turning
Ignorance for some is just a way of life
There is no message I am sending
just this thought process I own
It's time to take it home
Take it home
'We now return you to the music of
Raman Raquello playing for you
in the Maderian Room of the Park Plaza Hotel
situated in downtown New York.'
