We watched the fight break out tonight
Over an unimportant point
My eyes could not believe the sight
Talked them down and rolled a joint
Tell them all aloud just to settle down
Make the sugar clowns stop the runaround
We breathed between the ocean swells
Nothing to do but scan the light
As it dissolves; we say farewells,
Glad to resolve the nonsense plight
Tell them all aloud just to settle down
Make the sugar clowns stop the runaround
I wanna go back in time
We laughed about the episode
But there’s a lump inside my throat
I wanna go back in time
To satisfy the urge to find
Where innocence went wrong

One Fell Swoop
02:47

I closed my eyes, too tired to think
But I don’t let it go to my head
It’s out of reach, it’s hard to run
In dreams your legs are made of out of lead
Well I fell down in one fell swoop
I raised my arms and flew away to distant lands instead
How many times is that for me?
How many times
Some of the signs are hard to see
Some of the signs
I chased a ghost, a specter of you
I think it was but can’t be too sure
Without a face, not even a mask
The way it felt I knew it’s passed in front of me before
How many times is that for me?
How many times
Some of the signs are hard to see
Some of the signs

Beg To Differ
02:38

Could it be that I need something else entirely?
‘Cause how it seems to me it’s not at all what it was before, is it?
Fortune reads that I’ll be somewhere in the big leagues
But not according to my cookie-cutter, practically-dead routine
Beg to differ
Beg to differ now
Could it be that you mean something else completely?
You’re like the withdrawal from passive-aggressive, subliminal amphetamines
Beg to differ
Beg to differ now
Make up your mind
Settle the score
Oh, now we’re cookin’
We’ll just agree
To disagree
Alright, that’s it

Port of call for our demise
Eyes are bulged to saucer-size
Don’t exaggerate
Take it with a grain
Can’t come close to compromise
Flaring nostrils advertise
I’m going insane, waxing while you wane
Trying to abstain from the sugarcane
Done with your complaint
Going down the drain
Swear I’ll lose my mind
If I’m so inclined
Rusting in the rain, polyurethane
Don’t assign the blame, no we’re not the same
No we’re not the same
Take it with a grain

Running in Place
03:43
|

Feels like I’m running in place
Can’t see the start or the end
Slow motion sets up the pace
My legs are glued and cannot bend
I picture your face
All the details I invent
While I’m suspended in space
Your features I can’t comprehend
Happiness is a place that you often forget
Like driving back to your parents’ house for holidays
If I said there weren’t times that had garnered regret
Well I’d be out of my mind
Pick up my minimum wage
It’s getting hard to pretend
I’ll be ok if I save
I make believe that I won’t spend
If my apartment’s a stage
Then all my bills are a trench
I dig my daring escape
And scrape away to pay the rent
Transience is a state you can never expect
Like waiting for a train that’s already been twice delayed
If I said there weren’t times that were hard to accept
Well I’d be out of my mind,
And I don’t think that I’d mind.
I dance on edges of blades
I toe the line to defend
You haven’t seen me for days
I fake that I don’t need a friend
I make up lies that I’m great
Although I always intend
To play my favorite charade
It’s lost and don’t know where it went.
Happiness is a place that you often forget
Like driving back to your parents’ house for holidays
If I said there weren’t times that had garnered regret
Well I’d be out of my mind,
And I don’t think that I’d mind.
