potential 04:16
we're much more productive from the comfort of our rooms we're casually seductive every 3 quarter moon we might just take a marker & draw a line right down your face the young ones think we're something & the old ones swear that we're a disgrace I'll take the room without the bed a garage where I can unlodge what's in my head & I will pay attention like I am in debt but that don't guarantee that they'll agree with all the words that I want said...once said we're busy baking our own bread. & doing the impossible once again going out to the enemy & coming home with a friend it's nice to see you truly realize you're playing with fire...playing with fire. steady as we take our shots we barely notice all the gold that's in our pot cause we been taking a little bit & making it a lot. you know it's not a race so don't you waste all of the good things that you've got...you got that kind of shit that hits the spot doing the impossible once again going out to reality & coming back with the rent it's nice to see you truly realize they're telling lies...a boat load of lies doing the impossible once again folding origami without using your hands it's nice to see you truly realize your true potential

you're a complex creature yeah you're the premium blend you're a student & a teacher yeah you're a lover & a friend sometimes when it seems to be tearing at the seams you've got the pen & you're writing the next page of your dreams they'll fight to get the rights to it they'll fight to get the rights to it you're a smile drawn in chalk by an innocent child you're always down for the walk no matter how many miles sometimes when it seems to be tearing at the seams you've got the pen & you're writing the next page of your dreams they'll fight to get the rights to it they'll fight to get the rights to it & what they really need is right there in front of their face yeah right there in front of their... what they really need is right there in front of their face yeah what I really need is right there in front of my face yeah what I really need is right there in front of my face reaching out reaching out yeah

point their fingers at the youth who obviously aren't at fault up to their necks in sugar looking for a grain of salt the truth is that the truth will never surface on how farmer Brown wound up with a mutilated cow Farmer Brown wound up with a mutilated cow. a far more distant race in a far more distant dimension far from license plates and far from hair weave extensions it sounded like a jumbo jet and looked like a cloud farmer Brown wound up with a mutilated cow Farmer Brown wound up with a mutilated cow. follow the feeling that we are not alone stare at the ceiling in our so called home I give you truth, but I don't know how farmer Brown wound up with a mutilated cow farmer Brown wound up with a mutilated cow *kazoo solo*

your dancing like a flame & you're earning yourself a name & you're rising above the pain you're rising above the pain you've got so much of something you can't hold you've got a whole lot of that... soul that soul & the answers they flicker still like a lantern up on a hill & they're trying to sway your will yeah they're dying to get their fill you got so much of something they can't hold you got a whole lot of that \m/ (_ _) \m/ you're dancing like a flame & you're rising above the pain you're dancing like a flame & you're rising above the pain you've got so much of something they can't hold you've got a whole lot of that.....

run with it 02:56
I wanna flow like a river I wanna get on top you know it never stops. Hands off your spectacle I wanna co-exist guess I'll run with it. The torch has been lit. Tomorrow will kick ass yeah you can count on that I wanted you to know, you're the shit. Message to deliver promise you'll get back it's as easy as that. Focus energy on a considerate task it's as easy as that. The torch has been lit. Tomorrow will kick ass yeah you can count on that I wanted you to know, you're the shit. Fuel hogs burning proud better change their ways we've got different taste. The torch has been lit. Tomorrow will kick ass yeah you can count on that I want to co-exist guess I'll run with it I wanted you to know, you're the shit.

submerged in pleasant sound something for everyone enough to go around uninterrupted conscious bliss you break through walls in a way that no one can hear it it's you who's making moves it's your ship that's out to sea they're calling you a user and they want you on your knees it's you and I awake inside the machine I can hear your energy channel it like a bonsai blowing right through the ignorace making shade for the minds eye yeah I know not of fear and i know not to fear it i know only a fool would stand in the way of a spirit it's you who's making moves it's your ship that's out to sea they're calling you a user and they want you on your knees it's you and me awake inside the machine inside the machine

robot 03:46
A clone walks into a bar in a processed jingo town boldly comments on how his gin & tonic's watered down takes a good look at the waitress tries to weasel her for a round he don't know that he's about to be shot down. I wonder if he noticed, It's hard to tell if he cares. You got them trained. You got them trained. Every time I get mad relief to hear you say... They decide by the masses & they stand in line. Occasionally they turn to one another for the time and their life's on program but they don't seem to mind. Just keep on smiling like everything is fine. I wonder if they notice, it's hard to tell if they care Every time I get mad relief to hear you say hey "What's the good word?" "What's the news?" We're flipping birds and sippin' home brew. (x3) You're automatic when you're filling your head up with oil. You've got to have that dual antenna triple-ply tin foil. So proud that I'm not So proud that I'm not. So proud that I'm not a fucking robot. A robot. A robot. A robot.

You play people's emotions like they are strings on toys. Trying to get a rise out of the boys. You come screaming at me when one snaps back & hits you in your eye. You want me to tell you a lie. If you wanna say something then say it. If you wanna do something, stop talking about it. You're a stones throw away what you do and what you say you do Tossing words like frisbees out of the grey and into the blue You can curse You can pray You can give or take away You can exist and let it go It's your life, I don't know. If you wanna say something then say it. If you wanna do something, stop talking about it. If you wanna say something then say it. If you wanna do something, stop talking about it. Your words are drenched in crappy wine I find you here all the time Timing has absolutely nothing to do with time.

shade 02:59
i see you've got a little spot in the shade. Take a look at all the progress you've made. Ain't hard to notice you're filling out your space. Nice to say that one things understood. You do it so good. Put up a fence and be privately endowed. Just keep the nosey motherfuckers out. We've been making it better & disposing of doubt. Nice to say that one thing's understood. You do it so good.

huff it 03:26
Piloting with steady palms, We wind down roads that rarely calm, on and on into the infinite unknown. There's a long long road ahead my friend don't go it alone. We've lost the map, the route has changed, the words are here just rearranged, the road less traveled don't go down so easy. It's a chance that's yours to take don't throw it away, don't throw it away. My blistered hands can't get a grip on all the times we let it slip, we're passing time as if we age like wine. It's a long long road ahead my friend you've got the time. Like rubber bands we bend back to the ones we love that we feel true yeah whether we like it or not. It's a chance that's yours to take don't throw it away don't throw it away You will hunt and you will chase to build the mind that you've erased. Your monuments have been defaced, your memories have been replaced. & you, yeah you know where you belong.
