Trust Us 03:59
Asphalt filled fissures span the length of the road got me thinking of the geological time scale if you still question its validity then explain the finger bones inside the fins of a whale Intelligently designed, you might be right but would you first consider this? A not so perfect eye relays reflections into a mind that fancies itself as the center of all space and time Embrace your inner fish swing dance with it on the remote ice-islands of the arctic Please don't forget that that twist and shake has no bearing on your path to hell (x2) Do we let it go? Let them tell us what we don't know? When what we know is our lively hood Are we gonna let them say we're no good? Come all ye faithful learned and triumphent I'm asking you I am begging you just trust us on this one We didn't ask, and no you're not helping Oh come ye oh come ye Just leave it alone Do we let it go? Let them tell us what we don't know? When what we know is our lively hood Are we gonna let them say we're no good?

What if you were made to feel ashamed of your natural inclinations and you had some reservations about soiling your family's name Not because what you do is dirty but because you're just not ready to attempt a paradigm shift in this fear driven thinking process everything you say has a consequence you can prevent your hands from being covered with the blood of teen-aged slit wrists Just remember what we tell ya There'll come a day your stance will fail ya And you'll find that you have dug yourself into a hole of which you can't climb out And your grandchildren will say you should feel a bit ashamed Admit that you're wrong and we'll move on and I will never bring it up again It's high time we put our minds under the knife and sever the circuits connecting us to our brutal, hateful youth Because we can't afford another day of drifting further and further away as you peruse your hand-book for proof like it's the undisputed keeper of truth the time is long since gone of clear-cut right and wrong there is no black and white there are no creatures who lurk the night That once you're bitten by of one you will become you will be just fine Just remember what we tell ya There'll come a day your stance will fail ya And you'll find that you have dug yourself into a hole of which you can't climb out And your grandchildren will say you should feel a bit ashamed Admit that you're wrong and we'll move on and I will never bring it up again

Crutch 03:52
I know I'm an asshole "I can't help it" has always been my crutch but a mere acknowledgment cannot justify your treatment of those you claim you love and I can't turn it around by writing lyrics of what I can't but should say out loud I just need you to know that I'm aware Is it a bit pathetic to seek forgiveness and claim some solace backed by the bouncing beat of a pop-song? I can't help but cringe at the arrogance to believe that anyone should actually care Praise be the artist who's so damn honest his collected works outline the history of his short comings And the theme goes something like this... When you're not in a good way the content of your character becomes subject to change it's easier to chip at the floor of the bedrock than to walk the surface of present day the acidic liquid quick fix breaks down with everyone you alienate I will not tell you not to walk down that road because I'm hitch-hiking it myself Atop a bag of meat balances an egg-shell skull that holds the neural highways traveled by the chemicals that constitutes what you know as yourself or soul a self-conscious ape arguing with a reptile to fight or fly trips up to be or not to be is it the animal or ego acting selfishly? the more I wonder the less difference I see I mean we speak out of the same holes in through which we feed so you can see it can you write it off now? How the hell am I to shake it off? so we can see it can we shake it off now? How the hell are we to shake it off? When you're not in a good way the content of your character becomes subject to change it's easier to chip at the floor of the bedrock than to walk the surface of present day the acidic liquid quick fix breaks down with everyone you alienate I will not tell you not to walk down that road because I'm hitch-hiking it myself

Pie 03:14
Tell me that you don't believe based on "a lacking of missing links" (?!) You clearly don't have a firm grasp upon the branches of our family tree I can't agree to disagree when I hear you say "I didn't come from no monkey" It's not like we believe that on day an ape just shit out a human being So keep carrying around your belief like a baby that won't separate from its white knuckled binky I have made peace with my fate of being placed with un-baptized babies, hookers and drug fiends and though I think faith can be a beautiful thing if provides you piece of mind and helps you get to sleep at night just don't force-feed me your slice of pie For I have already declined I'm hard-pressed to find the right words to say to make more clear this idea I wish to convey It's much more than a story of some tiny islands off the coast where we capsize in your sea of thought to be viewed as we are not the wreckage drifts we both leave pissed So keep carrying around your belief like a baby that won't separate from its white knuckled binky I have made peace with my fate of being placed with un-baptized babies, hookers and drug fiends and though I think faith can be a beautiful thing if provides you piece of mind and helps you get to sleep at night just don't force-feed me your slice of pie For I have already declined

Glass 05:42
If that tidal wave should drown the Sound, spill over the barrier of the Cascades We'll make our way towards higher ground while the low is washed away And if that tidal wave makes its retreat only to leave our home a frothy salt-lake We'll draft the plans for our mountain top beach-front estate So now we know The answer to the question of "just who the hell is running the show?" it's no one, no I saw no one pulling swords out of their mouths We have no debt to pay nobody to bring the gavel down on the choices we've made I hope I'm prepared for my gut to be what's leading the way Oh how I loved to fantasize about my survival through this shotgun shells, defending my mate and my meals but now that it's come true I'm afraid of the other people and can't find any food
