Something I saw, I saw today Slapped me right in the face It told me there would be disaster In the night while we were asleep I've always wished my mind could breathe What my parents wished I’d never see No polish, seams, no empty opposites Just light on forgotten scenes Yeah I don’t know why teachers taught us things we’ll never need Never thought we’d be scolded for our questions till we’d listen and agree Who says there won’t be brand new branches on the tree? Maybe we’re the ones who step outside of the road you see Saw my reflection look at me From the television screen It sold me answers, ran away faster than An accidental lucid dream I knew I had to tell my father He said: “Son you shouldn’t bother” I wasn’t surprised, I told my brother So we smiled and said to each other We don’t need no nine to five We just want to feel alive We just want to feel alive I don’t know why teachers taught us things we’ll never need Never thought we’d be scolded for our questions till we’d listen and agree Who says there won’t be brand new branches on the tree? Maybe we’re the ones who step outside of the road you see Something I saw, I saw today The seats are on fire at the back of the bus, lets go Something I saw, I saw today But the people aren’t moving cause they don’t know how to say no

Frozen Bones 03:37
Throw the torus in in the garbage bin Climbing to the rim threw the towel in Gotta be a sanctuary somewhere near Got everything to fear Bye bye lets say goodbye To the worlds we occupied Now that our time is free We can fight in peace And see our shadows divide Got nothing left to hide Frozen bones when will you thaw? Maybe in another life? Broken homes we’ll brace the fall again Oh papa-san we're coming home Frozen bones I feel your sighs But it, it ain’t no surprise That the faces stole our thoughts from this disguise The burnt-out, make-believe, fairytale harmony Breaks into a couple notes The spoiled children wrote Who must’ve forgotten why Why they wasted all those lives If the end of all hypocrisy Can bring democracy Censor the beach I see To allow you and me To dig ourselves a grave in a mall While taking no time for the fall So call me maybe Frozen bones when will you thaw? Maybe in another life? Broken homes we’ll brace the fall again Oh Uncle Sam we’re coming home Frozen bones I feel your sighs So just, just say your goodbyes To the smokestack fountain stopping the sun from rising I can’t even stand all these places alone I’ll just sit back and just do what I’m told Forget free will, it is clear I am owned At the end of the day life is consciously sewn The only way out is that starry night sky The pastor in the white robe hides untold black lies The end now it murmurs: “I’m already here” While the message in the grave remains so clear Frozen bones will never thaw Not even in another life Broken homes will break back down again Faster than you can say no Frozen bones I hear your cries So just stay clear of the lies Broken homes we’ll build you We’ll build you up right from the ground again Even if they tell us to say “Say hello to my little friend"

So Lo 03:15
I know where this will go We get high but I feel so low All this world is filled with Flesh and bone and earth and stone Pawning my own portrait I look back to my family tree I'm completely at peace I feel lifted yet still stand empty And I think its time to celebrate it all I don’t think you've got a clue what I have in store Its time to drain the troubles inside of ourselves But oh well You know that I can't tell What the hell this feeling is I thought it stopped but oh well All those lessons I guess I missed And I think its time to celebrate it all I don’t think you've got a clue what I have in store Its time to drain the troubles inside of ourselves But oh well I don’t even get me Still I see my destiny Your shapes still in the snow We get high but I feel so Feel so low (Solo) I can’t deny you all I have inside Self preservation but it forced you to hide And I don’t care that you think that I still mind Cause I don't And you can’t tell Oh well Oh well Oh well Oh well Oh well

A bum on a bench Waves on the sea A man with a million dollars Cold cups of tea Falling in love with loneliness Jokes about pain Chasing the victorious The qualities you claim I am that, I am that, I am that, I am that Two men holding hands A kiss so discreet Cigarette butts in the alley And smoke on the street Dirt in the rain Stalking a dream Surviving the asphalt jungle In a forest of seeds I am that, I am that, I am that, I am that Leaves in the wind Veins like the weeds Communicating with motion And the air that we breathe Hot love in the cold Fog when they breathe Hearts like snow keep melting And a child conceived I am that, I am that, I am that, I am that Completeness within Don’t skip a beat Race car crash of answers And tears on the seats Three men in trench coats plotting To shoot up a school To get back at those kids who said that "You will never be cool" I am that, I am that, I am that, I am that I am that, I am that, I am that, I am that
