When you’re born, they eat you up Little hands and feet and eyes Keep you safe, safe as milk Then they start to feed you lies Desperate times oh desperate times When they fire the starting gun Everyone will run like Dogs and horses on the track Rounding each corner like it’s the last One percent, oh one percent Oh the numbers do not lie Eat the rich, but do not miss The chance to look into their eyes Desperate times oh desperate times When they fire the starting gun Everyone will run like Dogs and horses on the track Rounding each corner like it’s the last And all the people who you frown upon Will not eat the cake you feed to them So bide your time but watch your neck Cause we might take your head from it Dogs and Horses on the track Rounding Each corner like it’s the last Dogs and Horses on the track Rounding Each corner like it’s the last

I hear the knock knock knocking I hear the drums of war So many voices talking Can’t hear a thing but noise….. Now the ice is melting Into a sea of green Can’t think of death no longer I just want to live…live… If you carry that weight Sometimes it will smash you It’s just a symptom of life No one will stop you Save you from yourself Don’t take it so badly There are reasons to live So if you really need to find me I’ll tell you where I’ll be I’ll be down at the museum Looking at the girls Tick tock tick tock tick tock Blah blah blah blah blah “Think about that for a minute” “Just let that all sink in” “Think about that for a minute” “Just let that all sink in…” All those plastic people All those plastic folk The kill you with words They kill you with thoughts and prayers They kill you with kindness They kill you with all their fears…. If you carry that weight Sometimes it will smash you It’s just a symptom of life No one will stop you Save you from yourself Don’t take it so badly There are reasons to live So if you really need to find me I’ll tell you where I’ll be I’ll be down at the museum Looking at the girls Down at the museum Look at the pretty girls…. Down at the museum Look at the pretty girls… All those ladies are girls….

Wolves 05:39
Got a call to laugh at death And death was laughing back Changes come hard and fast Man I can't keep up Don't you worry Change will come to you No matter what you do All the years as they've been passing And then you realize That we are future bones in a hole The smile in your eyes Says there's really no surprise The wolves are on your trail Oh the margin's razor thin So don't you fuck it up The mighty wheels grind you down Turn you into dust Leave you bleeding There's beauty everywhere You only have to look Now I want to see you in the sun And the way it hits your face Memories of all we did and said And the smile in your eyes said it's really no surprise The wolves are on your trail All I say from here to the end It's all just meaningless I miss you more than words will allow And the smile in your eyes says it's really no surprise The wolves are on your trail The wolves are on your trail The wolves are on your trail

Oh releasing Oh just letting go And never looking back And never saying no Having faith if There is no beyond No God up in the sky Or Devil down below Let my heart live in you Let my heart live in you Let my heart live in you Let my heart live in you May you be filled with Love and peace and joy And needing nothing more Than everything you have It's all so fleeting It's all just a blur A flash and then it's gone Never to return Let my heart live in you Let my heart live in you Let my heart live in you Let my heart live in you

Oh they said we'd get the bomb Under desks we hid so long They taught us history Wars and slavery Women had no rights Natives killed outright Just American kids Just American kids And we drove all night Under no street lights And blew on home With the wind and sun Tripped by the pool at dawn Just American kids Then they said it'd all be fine Carry on and pay no mind Now watch the waters rise And see the burning skies All those promises now just ash I guess For American Kids For American Kids And we drove all night Under no street lights And blew on home With the wind and sun Tripped by the pool at dawn Just American kids We were just American Kids

Sunyata 04:08
There is only this And of that I'm not sure But I held you by the hand And you led me through the door This and nothing more This and nothing more I am just the snow Drifting to the ground You're a falling leaf Making not a sound This and nothing more This and nothing more Sunyata Sunyata Walking into smoke A disappearing act Becoming your own ghost And never coming back This and nothing more This and nothing more This and nothing more This and nothing more Sunyata Sunyata

Terlingua 07:03
Well the real world's just for suckers Smashed my phone, caught a ride You could try, you could try to find me I wish you luck Their eyes are onto you everywhere you go You can't escape And if they try to come for me Try to take me in the hills I'll tear them down I got freedom in my heart I'm just wild, so don't you start Feral dogs on the doorstep Gimlet eyes float around It's just another, just another sunset In your mind Their eyes are onto you everywhere you go You can't escape And if they try to come for me Try to take me in the hills I'll tear them down I got freedom in my heart I'm just wild, so don't you start Oh... Oh... Well the real world's just for suckers Smashed my phone, caught a ride You could try, you could try to find me I wish you luck
