Kaleidoscope 03:01
I took a drink, I spit it up I went to the sink To wash the bitter dreams that clung to the cup And then i swallowed I took a breath and then I died I couldn’t filter all the filth that got inside And then it multiplied and that’s when I died Life is a kaleidoscope It tries to get you high Life is a kaleidoscope I built it all, I burned it down So I could start back from the top So I can change it when I get back to this part It wasn’t very smart Were you there, you said you would be Did you care, who was I kidding

A little less noise please A little less grinding, roaring, everything I’m always tired, I always sleep Buried in time, under my feet And when i pray, the words that i say A little less noise A little less noise please A couple few sirens, sonars echoing I never scab, i only bleed Out of my ears, onto my feet And when i scream, the words that I mean A little less noise. A little less air horn, banshee, hurricane That shake up the marble that stirs in my brain That fires all the neurons that make me feel pain That makes me feel different When you know I’m the same A little less noise please A little less pounding, screaming, suffocate

Turpentine 03:25
The waters rise and fall covering us all In a blanket of our tears And all the wasted days Pictures that portray memories I can’t shake A million sparks across the pavement play Like all the words we’ll never say A million bulbs one by one they explode Taking with them all the things we’ll never know All this paint on a canvas we can’t erase Old habits we can’t break Turpentine dissolves When you want to hide it all When you want to get away Flashing colored lights on a perfect screen of white It’s all so plain to see these pictures never meant a thing A million reasons why we ever lived a lie Just to crawl outside this skin The stars are out tonight a million tiny lights They never looked so bright As the twinkle in your eye, a teardrop and "good-bye" Without a single reason why

Am I awake, have I slept Don’t remember climbing up into my bed Am I alive, am I dead Is there an answer that I would prefer instead But I’ll take it on the chin To get it through your head And I’ve gotten to the point Where everybody looks the same from here Is it the truth, how can you tell It may sound pretty But then lies sound just as well Should I stay, should I run No destination when the journey’s twice as fun I always thought this would be The perfect song for a plane crash Strangely ironic it seems it’s perfect Is this heaven, is this hell, or is this life

Boomerang 04:33
When you walk, when you walk into the room I feel uneasy like i do. I always do I never asked, asked to feel this way for you Makes me uneasy like I do, I always do So leave me naked now and stranded in my skin Because you won’t let me in Blowing kisses to a stranger in the window Cursed to be a boomerang I’m halfway there and then shot back again When you see, see what’s gotten into me You’ll be uneasy like I do, I always do And if it’s true I guess you’ve turned transparent too You’ll feel uneasy like I do, I always do When you open up this door And discover what all this was for Then you’ll understand But you won’t want to understand Your insides clench around the middle Your eyes will twitch, your hands will fiddle

Deep inside those big blue eyes I got sucked back in again She had everything I needed Hiding underneath her skin I have found myself before I will lose myself again She's got a window on her heart She don't let nobody in It’s been a while and I’m getting tired Of being on the outside looking in Something in the way she moves I just can’t turn and walk away She had everything I needed Maybe it’s the punishment I crave I have lost myself before I will find myself again

Falling 03:56
I jumped off the top of a fifty story building I was dead before I hit the ground The air between the top and the bottom was serene For a while the world was pretty and It didn’t make a sound I jumped off the top of a mammoth office building I was dead before I climbed the stairs A walk that took forever and at once no time at all A moment in the life of an uneven legged chair I jumped off the top of a concrete ravine I was dead before I parked the car An empty pile of flesh living pay check to pay check A shame the next one always seemed too far I woke up safe inside my bed, breaking into song I woke up, I remembered I let go of the tower made of money blood and glass I was dead before I learned to breathe. The colors ran together and They never looked quite righ I always hid my face, but wore my anger on my sleeve I woke up safe inside my bed, breaking into song I woke up, I remembered falling
8.
I guess I’ll be going soon I’ll be in my room Waiting to be through And if I duck this precipice Don’t hinder your good-bye I don’t know when or why Please don’t forget The little things I said when I’m gone I hope that you will be okay If I have to go away When I get there I will wait And all the colors fade In time they will be gone If life remembers me It will not be for long Like leaves on trees and prophecies And things declared as heresy I am just a rider and the drive is nearly over I’m afraid Don’t be afraid Please don’t forget
