They Go Away

Lyrics by Jason
It happens to be that we've created a prison,
but we're breaking out every day.
We could escape in a boat down the river and set a course for
adventure in absolution.
We're designating a way out together, now and forever, in absolution.
Take in this time of life.
Awaken a friend to make a self introduction.
We're making a prison break
and we've decided to walk on the river
(and not on the shore) with perfection, in absolution.
It's not fun to run away from monsters.
If you run, they will get into your head.
The truth is, it's yourself you must conquer.
You must turn and face them.
They go away.
You won't hear them crumble.
You may not see them fall.
You won't witness their tumble.
They're not with you at all.

Optimism

Lyrics by Andrew
Hate works its way into your heart
like a worm into fruit.
It eats us up inside.
Let it go.
We are all people in this life,
capable of living it side by side.
All it takes is optimism.
Don't be mean, just be.
Life is just a series of choices
so choose happiness.
Optimism will keep you moving forward.
Optimism will help you hold your temper.
Always do your best;
Never do your worst to others.
All it takes is optimism.

Pantomime

Lyrics by Jason
Magic mirror on the wall,
tell me who the true ones are.
Make it clearer who's the hammer
and who is a nail in the wall.
Time and time again you try.
The ghost light is over your costume display.
You can chew the scenery and
you can star in all the scenes so
take a bow and pull the strings
yet you won't get a hold of me.
This entertaining pantomime,
It won't get me down.
I can see a wolf in a wool jacket,
with two faces, giving words in
empty baskets wrapped in
expectations and white lies.
Time and time again you try.
You can chew the scenery or
damage the machinery.
I will be here when you reach out
but you won't get a hold of me.

Lyrics by Andrew
I feel that bad luck coming down the future toward me.
I want to believe in people, I really do,
but I gather research on a daily basis
and the data isn't hopeful.
Field Tested Symbiosis
Smiling will bring out the best in people that you encounter; being
mean to them will set off a chain reaction of meanness.
Miserable enough already,
some people need a beacon.
Promise me you'll be there.
Circling around in their lives,
they're lost and need incentives.
Promise me you'll be there.
For all the ones who are down all the time,
Promise me you'll be there.
Give a fellow human some hope because we're living in a very cruel world.
Wouldn't you feel more hopeful if somebody made you feel like
everything will be okay? We must help each other along.
Mutualism is field tested symbiosis,
a goal reached by working together.
Reverse engineering the future,
we can't move forward without it.
Be good to each other.

Fair Game

Lyrics by Jason
You’ve got a shot to love the ones you're not.
It’s now or never.
Piece by piece, do your part.
If we live only one time,
it's in everything and always.
A typical picture, a melody melter.
I am not myself and I don't care what you say or what you do to me.
I'm driving down the wrong lane
and I don't care if you play a fair game.
We are all a mass holographic vessel.
Delete receipts from everyone you meet.
It’s now or never.
Blindly coddle a fallen mind and kindly lie to me from behind as you
walk away again.
Sign me up on the dotted line.

No Determination
01:29

|
Lyrics by Andrew
Stop giving up
before you even try anything at all.
Energy's the product of our positive thoughts.
When flowing with the current,
avoid all the distractions.
If you're at a standstill
you've got to find a way to get going again.
Don't be afraid of moving ahead
and get yourself out of a difficult place.
No determination,
you're tired of the routine.
You're walking in a circle
without even knowing.
You feel incarcerated.
but it's all inside your head,
a matter of perspective,
so don't let it get to you.

Century Leaves

|
Lyrics by Jason
People tell me that I'm insane,
but I would never be the one to let you
fall down on the ground,
without someone to catch you.
I will always be the same and I'll remain the one who's gonna let you
be yourself.
Blind spots, we've got these.
Save yourselves!
They're coming for you.
You'd better hide.
They're gonna find you.
They're running wild (in secret places).
People think that I'm deranged, but I refuse to lose the terrain
because bright things align.
We're on an even plane.
We're all the same.
We're on an ancient tree.
We're all it's leaves.

Every Other Thought
03:48
|
|||
|
Lyrics by Andrew
On and on I ponder on a thought of love,
I’m drawn along.
Struggling through my life,
not unlike a smoldering ember to stay alight;
burning my will away
but remaining primed to rekindle a fire.
I am a counterweight, you are the metronome keeping my life in time,
pivoting over, you're every other thought that comes into my mind:
A new bike with the tags still on it,
you and I riding around the lake.

Positive Phototropism
03:33
|
|||
|
Lyrics by Andrew
Unnoticed as a seed in the soil I'm buried.
It's a lonely place to be and people walk all over me.
Sunlight is what I need in order to open up.
I seek it in those around me
but they have no sunny disposition.
What would the planet be like if we made it easier for each other to
live instead of harder?
Who's the next to undo all that's left of you?
It seems like a genuinely good person is such a rare thing in this
world. What ever happened to being nice to someone for no reason at
all and placing others before yourself?
Wake me out of apathy.
Give me the will to try to not salt the earth of those around me.

Analyzing Daydreams

Lyrics by Jason
Watching her watch him burn,
watches turning round and round.
Watching her watch him burn,
watches turns this merry go around.
My bloody back holds the key.
Who's in on it this time?
Goodbye, release me.
The tide and I must go out.
Leaving it all behind, analyzing daydreams.
Let's find out what you don't mean to me.
Less is more than nothing.
If it's not mine and it's not yours
and it's not ours, then whose is it?
Goodbye, I released you.
It's time to choose.
If it fits, wear that shoe off a... and fly away.
But I've got some news about you;
Your true colors have been shown
and they are counterfeit grey.
Showbiz mister, burning bridges doesn't matter when you're using imagination.
