Changed Mind
03:37

Here I come out spur of the moment
Changing my mind, yet again
It's not my fault I was raised like this
Go with the flow then go insane
I wanted to walk out and join the circus
I changed my mind, yet again
I wanted to be a big rockstar
I changed my mind, yet again
I wanted to fall in love with the girl
I changed my mind again and again
I wrote a bridge for the middle of this song
I changed my mind, yet again
In this season I'm changing shape
(My colors turning now)
In my mind it's still the same
(Got to keep it fresh somehow)
I always wanted to be fit and thin
I changed my mind all over again
I wanted to be the president
I changed my mind again
They always said I had a good voice
I changed my mind yet again
I wanted to walk out in front of traffic
I changed my mind yet again
I'm dealing with life as best as I can
I changed my mind again
In this season I'm changing shape
(My colors turning now)
In my mind it's still the same
(Got to keep it fresh somehow)
Here I come out spur of the moment
Changing my mind, yet again
I wrote an end for this song
I changed my mind again

Barely Dead
04:38
|

Wake up for hours
No sleep, feeling cold
Every year is a year too much
Dancing thoughts are haunting
Every second lost; potential for slumber
I'll pay whatever cost
I'm barely dead
I would sleep forever
It sounds like a joke
Feeling like cancer
Bags under my eyes
Grow heavy filled with anger
I'm barely dead
I wish I was
Let me die
It's too much to bare
If silence is golden
Then I would be drowning
Let me die
Maybe then I can rest
My chest feels empty
I know it gets much worse
It gets so much worse
From here on out
It's downward now
I wanna let go
I wanna let
I would sleep forever
It sounds like a joke
It feels like cancer
Bags under my eyes
Grow heavy
Filled with anger
I wanna let go

The Joker Got Away
04:59
|

Walk through the hills and stone
The fire started long before the joker
Smoke rings bear witness
The worst years are ahead of us
Bring up transcripts for the angels
They lie through their wood teeth and excrement
They lie under halos
Walk through the hills and stone
The fire died and the ashes are gone
Never forgive
Never live
Until you take on all the bullshit you control
You are just passing by
The moment you question, the clouds came crashing down
The waves were heavy
And you floated down
What else have you to prove
But to keep me on the move
This is not what I wanted anyway
These building of acolytes
Burn faster with every blinking eye
The sky bears its final scene
Credits for the aforementioned joker
Bring up transcripts of the Angels
They lie through their teeth and bullshit
Walk through the hills and stone
The fire died and the ashes are gone

Control
04:03
|
|||
I will follow you
I will not lose you
I will learn to control you
I will control you
I will need to have you
I will not be below you
I will learn to control you
I will not be alone with you
(Ye)
I will not try to lose you
I will not be below you
I'm out to control you now
I am above you now

The Wind
03:21
|

The Boy walked home alone
When all calm broke
Fear came close
And breathing was heard
"Don't be afraid It's just the wind"
The moon looked scared
The leaves under his feet
Blood on the veins
Now autumn is haunted
Trees take shape of twisted traits
The boys mind raped, the feeling fangs
He felt followed and very close by
Something had broke the calm with a cry
"Don't be afraid It's just the wind"
He started running
When his mind said go
Figures and shapes
Turned to blurs and things
One second one was gone
Another hour had gone
When he woke up in a field
He had to move on
"Don't be afraid It's just the wind"
The boy kept walking
When he heard someone coming
Took to hiding in bush
On the side of the road
A women with a child
Playing run the mile
On the way home from church
The boy started breathing
And the child started screaming
And the mother said
"Don't be afraid
It's just the wind"
