1.Green Light, Yellow Light, Stop
I've walked these streets every night
So much
I can even tell the traffic lights
Will change on my count of 3
1-2-1-2-3, yeah
Green to red
And back again
So timed
Watching like pulling teeth
So I will fight the bad fight
On what I'll call the good team
But in a bad fight are there good teams？
So I'll fight your bad fight
On two of your bad teams
I'll lose
I'd put my money on you...
I guess I don't know your lights so well
Maybe one day I will
2.City Streets ＆ Summer Heat
It's the final act
Director's curtain call
And this all star cast
Of beautiful
Men and womyn alike
Is only complimented
By the wonderful sets
And the scripts of gold...
Sets of city streets
Summer heat,
And they way things were
Growing up and growing old
1997, 4 years ago
All 3 of summers months
I still won't let go
(So) hey...
We've been down this road
Hey...hey...
4 years ago--days, weeks, months
(So) hey...
Can you tell me why？
Hey...hey...
Tempeture can remind--you of your life
A lot of people don't like the city
It's too fast for some
96 degree evenings
Make it uncomfortable for most
But I remember the times
On the back porch
The outside world honking
The city moved so slow
Was it the heat or the humidity
Or was it something more？
Could the world have stopped spining
And I witnessed it all？
On my
City street
In my
Summer heat
3.Space Invaders
Clear day burning his eyes：
Struck down and wheezing for breath
Seamstress hemming my legs：
Struck down and wheezing for breath
Victims of this modern age：
Struck down and wheezing for breath
Reluctant salesman buying used goods：
Struck down and wheezing for breath
Who has come to grips with change？
Who has come forth with courage？
Struck down and wheezing for breath
Force fed words, words, words
Work force marching out of debt
Force fed words, words, words
Eyes： eyes
Legs： legs
Age： age
Goods： goods
4.A Fistful Of Revolution
I've seen a rising statue
Next to a crumbling building
And a city scapes call to arms--yeah, yeah
So we've got our fists out--rising up
To show our numbers--you're falling down
Show our numbers in this fight--our fight, we won't back down
(So) I warn, I warn you...
One fist full of revolution
And it's reaching for a brick
And you are the target...
One fist full of revolution--rising up
And it's reaching for a brick--you're falling down
And you are the target--we won't back down, won't give up
5.Apt. 2, 4 AM Friday
Last night
I watched my eyes turn blood red
So yes, I should have never left this bed
Went to visit with past friends
But instead I wished this was how I'd never end
And wished these eyes
Would have closed
Fell asleep
Instead of exploration of closed doors
That should stay that way
And I
I won't
Let this horrific image
Be so accessible again
So visible again
And as a constant reminder
I wrote this song
6.Chris Drives Me Home
Wake up every morning everyday
To the same sad face
No sleep for me
No sleep for me
Mourning everyday
And I find it
Yeah I find it
So hard
To move on to better things
You find it
So fitting
And just maybe
One morning won't be so mournful
That morning I'll call a start
A start of better days
Day one of my new house,
New job,
New car dream
I woke up dreading morning
To realize that it's no dream
Wake up every morning
Every day
7.Erase The Days
We came a long way
From the first day
We set foot...
Underground - indoors
In the damp - in the cold
To find our new home...
So I finally found myself
Finally found a place to call home
Underground - indoors
Very damp - very cold
Warm in heart...
(And) we find a way to break these chains
Find a way to erase the day
Find some way
Fill our void...
So I will scream this out
To all who listen
As people - as human
Underground - with open doors
Feel our warmth
8.Not So Metal
Friends drop like fly's
To know the ones to stand by
Is possibility, enough to go on...
So sit and ponder
Why giving up or admitting wrong
Are sometimes the same...
One hour
Doesn't seem too long
When countless hours landed you here
For some it's too long
I have watched
That measly hour
Tear apart and even,
Even get to me...
So if you really want real
And you want some belief
Make yourself think that you're coming over
Then try your lies on me...
You're such a silly girl
Well I can see it right now
You're sitting back on the couch
And the worst part is
You probably think this song
Is about you and all the evil things you do
Well I have news for you
This song's a big fuck you
To the lines that kept me up
And dragged me down your street
And dragged me down your street
9.Flesh Eating 9 To 5 Virus
1,000 hungry dog eat dogers
Plus one middle aged worker
And a million more out for your neck
Make way wild fire
Spills like blood
On the door step of establishment
Make way
Wild fire
Your lack of skills
Result in a lack of possibility
And lead to the number stamped on you head
And still my feet walk through your door
Do I want to？
Can I say？
Will you listen？
It's falling down
10.Post Marked Yesterday
Pictures turn yellow and fade
From the walls
Where they've been posted for years
Pictures of past and forgotten
Noel balls
Which have been visited with tears
The tape once strong and able to hold
Dried up and gone
Though the memories last
The days now twice as long
On a day where even the smell is nostalgic
On a day where even one breath is a memory
Where have you been and where have you gone
And what do you have to show for yourself？
A picture？ A postcard？ Nothing without some to share
These memories with
A time travel so swift
As you can't remember
As you can't even tell if it was real
Where have you been？
Where have you gone？
11.Cold Of Winter
I've seen these pages turn
And said I knew it from the start
That your face changes with the seasons leaves
With the cold of winter dripping from your nose
You threw it away as cold as the air when you said
'I don't think I should stay
It's far too warm
The leaves are still bearing green
And I can't keep
My ice heart'
So seasons pass and change
But I still lie awake on cold fall days
When the months become years
And the years still bring tears that freeze up
On your face
I split your ribs and with the warmth of mine
Melt your ice heart...
12.Sea Of Promise
Hey-steadfast-sails up
Hey-like a ship rolling out
Hey-to see the world
And change it
Armed, all systems go
Picking up passengers, as we roll
Who are stranded at sea
And looking for a new home
The finest crew
Will lend their hands
No captains, no swelled heads
A ship still rollin' full steam ahead
As we steam forward
Stop only to lend our hands
We are not looking back
Our sea of hopes and dreams
Of 1 world culture and unified scenes
Raging waters
Of life long struggle
Unforgiving waters,
Taking lives of our sisters and brothers
To swim is all we have
Keep your head above the water!!!
13.Stars And Skulls
Been apart for some time
And still all those lies
Those are the first, yeah, foremost
Things that come to our minds
After all the fake smiles
And the error and trial
Were having the time
I wished we had had
Those years ago
Stars light the night
Where you sat and watched me die
Stars light the night
Watched my heart beat losing life
Stars light the night
And in the morning you'll sing goodbye
Stars light the night
Where my skull and cross bones lie
The fleecy cloud may kiss the sky
The flower kiss the butterfly
The foaming beer may kiss the glass
But you my friend can kiss my...
'Farewell'
14.A Day In The Life Of A Businessman
A rich bastard in his office laughing
While his slaves downstairs
Lives are crashing
So take this job asshole
And shove it
'Cause, I'm not working for you anymore
I refuse to be your whore...
So we stand and fight this shit,
This is where our revolution begins...
Death of a businessman
15.Write For Your Life
Taken for all its worth
A couple chords and a few words
Sing our song together
Sing at the top of our lungs
Having met and having me change
Was still the best thing,
Through all these days
Cause, you live...you learn
And you'll make mistakes
And the writing
Is only a cheap escape
(From pain)
Well I know I'll never make things right
And I'm fine with this
As long as you sleep well at night
So sleep well at night
Cause what's been said I surely meant
And I'm happy for you
If you're happy without me
Alright
It took losing you
To find me
16.Pulse Rate
I should write a report
On why we change day to day
With hours and hours of research
And humans locked up in a cage
Then tally the data
With the results inconclusive
Dammit I've been at this one for years
And still no answer
Put under a microscope
By my own free will
Take my own blood samples
Look for imbalanced chemicals
Cat scan for holes in my brain
And pulse rate my heart
But there is one last concern
It seems I may drive them away
Friends and family always running from me these days
I ask myself, like any analyst would
'Chris how do you always manage to fuck up
Every last thing you have that is good'
17.The Great Escape
Time is now
Stop asking how
And living in past moments
A great escape
Missed opportunity
To break new ground
Rise...
To your feet
So you've made it out ok
Picture perfect scenes
With bitter endings
Cause while you sleep
And think 'It's safe to be me'
There is danger
You can't stop me from crumbling
Underneath the weight
You can't stop me from crumbling
Pressure that I can't take
You can't and won't stop me
18.Life, Voice, Action, Change
It seems today
And it is so sad to say
People and their differences
Build up like brick walls...
Whether color of skin
Or sexual preference of a human
One can only take so much...
It takes life
For this to begin
We raise out voice raise up and sing in,
Action to bring
Change
I'm not wasting my time
With bullshit and lies
You're talking too much
I won't waste my time
So I raise my voice
And I raise my fist
I'll see you in the end
19.I Swear This Is The Last Time
I could watch you fall again-just like last time
Worlds spinning on their end-like last time
I could watch you lose again-' '
I won't waste my time again-' '
And so I'll bet it all,
Everything I have
All on black
Spin and wash away
All I had left
I could watch you drink it all-like the last time
I even take a few down with you-just like the last time
And laugh about it all-' '
I'm gonna watch you lose it all-' '
And so I'll bet it all,
Everything I have
All on black
Spin and wash away
All I had left
It's the last time
Just like the last time
