Track Name: 61 Nowhere
And here I am world, on this dirt path,
I see my shoes draggin’ every step,
I miss that warm green grass
So long, I knew at last.

A cloud of dust blooms across my my eyes
A truck of workers look and drive by
I can see my home, But it’s there before the sky
Home isn’t home but a light at mind

I left you all
I fell behind
I left my tree to die

All the saints
That I knew
All the dreams
that I grew...
Track Name: Absurd
Perfection lies in an artists head
Never his hand
I didn’t say I was hung up on it
But it’s closer than where I am
Where time had ceased to move
Clear skies remain
Test the stress
Of how vain we became
Solarize political cries
Before they were made
Now when I think of you
I know it’s all the same

All I wish to remember
is my name

You think you’re progressing
But you’re only dressing for the cause
Hey look, I can also slap
A sticker on my car
Hey, you’re changing the world
One petition, no cause
Spent a buck on the earthquake
Forty on your blog

But it still doesn’t mean
You’re worth anything at all
From this world
I dare refrain

All I wish to remember
Is my name
Track Name: I'd Like to Name, Euphoria
How I wish
For this strangers hand
No lies without words
My will returns to sand
Your voice
Speak and I’ll sing again
But I can't know
This truth to call home

If you speak
You’ll ruin all I have
Perfectly built dreams
They’re all I understand
I’d like to name you
“Euphoria”


To that which is me
You can only be
A passing memory
Ghosty chances to meet
When I see you
My pulse goes numb
Choke down this pride
I’d like to name “dumb”

If you speak
You’ll ruin all I have
Perfectly dead lies
Their all I can even stand
I’d like to name you,
“Euphoria”

Through my eyes you’ll gaze
Displace words with a daze

But you don’t know
If you only knew
Euphoria

Oh reliably good days
Life could could make
Two off this date
If I could say hey

Let me confess all my love
Love to the unknown
An enigma to the doors
Of perception

I’m alone
Track Name: Self-righteous Kind
They’re always there
Thin as air
Ghostly lessons of mine

A rebel’s voice
To my heart’s rejoice
To take the road again

And they’re gone tonight
They won’t lay by my side anymore
And they call to their time
Self-righteous kind gone to war
War

Neon eyes
Hides a cause that lies
Your self-worth ain’t mine

A strumming man
Can never change the land
Something you’ll never accept

Away with the wind
They’ll cry again
And this time I’ll go home

They call to their time
Self-righteous kind gone to war
A throwback when

Cut and paste the mind of Rand
I’ll give up my spite
I’ll show my light
It’s not a gift to be right
Parade though the night
Your affluence is only a sin
Track Name: Early Morning
I know today I’ll sail away,
Oh good morning, I’ll give it one more day,
Oh good lord, please tell me I’ll stay
For just one more day

Oh fog please burn away
Show me the light and I swear I’ll stay
Don’t go now, I’m drenched in the rain
Just bring me a sunny day

Grayer skies never seen before
I’ll fill the lines, three words more
A winter at mind, a cold of heart
For a new life to start

This lucky penny they gave to you
You’ll never need it, they’ll show you who
Please go now, I don’t see the rain
Just bring me a sunny day
Bring me a sunny day
Track Name: Walden
I’m taking time on my greener world
It seems all doubt just can’t be real
Where I found my youth in the back of my head
They just can’t stand
They want it dead

You’ll grow up, you’ll lose life, you’ll never find out
Sleep at night with a girl in the ground
A noose on my hand led me wrong
Lust my pills down
My friends came along

I’ve fallen down
I’ve seen my time
Found the road to somewhere fast

They call it time
I call it a lie
To find I’m nowhere past

And now I’ll say
You’ve lost your fate
Urban trash left naked

And this is the end, goodbye
Track Name: Lullaby (Reverie)
Let the doctor
Put me to sleep
Anesthetize these weeks
Synthetically elate
Please sedate
Me
From the pain
Of memory

It seems so familiar to me
Did we meet on this side of venus?
Vertigo’s beauty
Lucid dreams sweep me from my feet

Don’t let the time pass
Without my consent
I don’t wish to know
A sad end
For the future is the only
Story left to tell
Medicate me
Intravenous fears
I’ll slip under
Here

Break my reverie
Am I conscious for the scenes
Of these ascetic dreams
Or is this reality?

All I recall
Keeps me from dreams
I learned to hold back
What it means to be me
Mistake what is
For the memory of what was
It’s all a dream

It seems so familiar to me
Did we meet on this side of venus?
Vertigo’s beauty
Lucid dreams sweep me from my feet
Track Name: "V"
I would have never
I would have never guessed that we’d be here
Under the covers,
Under the covers of a cliched past
It’s hard for you to trust me
It’s harder for me to trust myself
With you

I’d say I’m sorry
I’d say I’m sorry but you hate it
I’d say you get me
I’d say you get me but not what you want
My care is still ripe and well indeed
But my mind has grown callused
From worrying

So here’s a gift
Don’t give it back
I’d scar
If it happened again

Apropos
To be scared
To be hurt
I’m not the same

I lose time with you

You would hate me
You would hate me if I cared
I would loathe you
I would loathe you if you lost sleep
We’re far too old to care at all
And are far too young for such anxiety

So here’s a gift
Don’t give it back
I’d scar
If it happened again

Apropos
To be scared
To hurt me
I’m the same

I lose time with you
Track Name: The Girl With Psychedelic Paisley
I see, he needs
Don’t ask, she speaks

Sleep-walk through our waking state
Quiet to those we pass on the street
Polite for the sake of apathy
I’ll tell you a story

She came with a note saying
“Please take good care of me”
She smiled without a worry
And asked if he was happy

She walks with peace
She, she is peace
Girl with Psychedelic paisley

She held to all her convictions
Inhibitions and dire stress
Just to laugh as they washed away
In the river as she undressed

She, she sings peace
She, told to him
“Boy, I’ve got something to teach to you”

Girl with psychedelic paisley

Take the time
To fall in love
With your own road
To run amok

It may be
Your worst fall
But nothing is worse
Than nothing at all

Girl with psychedelic paisley

She left with a note saying
“Boy, please take care, too”
His tear smudged her lipstick
And across the sun a bird flew
Track Name: Intoxication
Take a ride on this magic tide
Drug induced dreams of euphoria
Neon lights feed my crystal high
There’s nothing wrong with love on the mind

It’s a long lonely trip to the top of this lift
To fall and fall and fall with no reprisal
A wicked witch, a clown in tights
He’ll follow you laughing to the end of the night

When I bought it
They didn’t say
It would cause

Such an eery mind, such a plastic find
I’m alive
This ain’t toys for kids, this is fucking sick
I’m going down

It’s your turn next, take a step
“Boy it’s your time to let yourself live”
You walk, you slip, didn’t mean to stall
It’s a mockery of all your own good will

When I bought it
They didn’t say
It would cause

Such an eery mind, such a plastic find
I’m alive
This ain’t toys for kids, this is fucking sick
I’m going down

Take a ride on this magic tide
Drug induced dreams of euphoria
Neon lights feed my crystal high
There’s nothing wrong with love on the mind
Track Name: Monterey Live
How’s the city by the bay
Is everything going okay?
Mundane?
It’s a phase
We all have to pay
So pray
You’re lost in a maze

Endowed craze
All those who wander
Ain’t afraid
School scares the life
From me
Honestly
I guess that’s why
I didn’t chase the dream (X2)

Dazed in a laze
That’s how I remember the bay

You forget those days?
Waves of hatred
In an open cage
What a waste
Talking heads
I never stayed awake
Oh I crave
The foggy side
Of that bay

Dazed in a laze
That’s how I remember the bay (X2)

I hope your living the dream
I hope you don’t have to meet
Another me
In the Yay
I can say
At the end of the day
You’re in a better place to be
Give me easy ways
Out of the frames
decay and pain
I love your gray face
Let it all
Rot and fray away
Away
Dazed in a laze
That’s how I remember
Oh Dazed in a laze
That’s how I remember
Dazed in a laze
That’s how I remember the bay
Track Name: This Game
Now I am starting to slip
From everything I lost my grip
To all those I’d miss
It’s my own heart to give


I’d rather burn away
Then play this distorted game
I don’t love, but in love I am
It’s a sad sad world to stand


Now I am running away
There’s a light calling me to stay
I know their world is fake
And they still don’t care for my name


Cuz no, I won’t play your game
Oh No, I won’t play your game


It’s hard to find where your heart is
When there’s no place you call home
For me, this stretch of dunes and beach
Is the center of the world


Cuz no, I won’t play your game
Oh No, I won’t play your game
My feet are walking
My finger’s held back
No, I won’t play your game
