Who I Want 05:06
I wish I could become okay all on my own, not have to stay Right next to you, thinking about everything that you made me doubt I wish I could retaliate, make you realize how much I hate How much you made me into a pill that you could take whenever you willed Now I can become who I want Who I want I'm on my own, no one to care, no one to mind what I want to wear On top of my face and inside my heart, no one to love, you can't tear me apart I'm on my own, we'll see how it goes. I'll overcome everything you can throw You try to make me care again but when you knock, I will not open Now I can become who I want Who I want I still see you every week day but you cannot make me want to stay You might think that I want to care but when you didn't care you left me aware That everything that you do is all for yourself, nobody but you I wish I could show you how to love, make that one choice, but I've had enough Now I can become who I want Who I want I wish I could become okay all on my own, not have to stay Right next to you, thinking about everything that you made me doubt I wish I could retaliate, make you realize how much I hate How much you made me into a pill that you could take whenever you willed

Oh the violent skies of my mind They keep me trapped right behind Everything in my life There is nothing left to see here The violent skies rain down The violent skies spin around The violent skies hit the ground The violent skies have come to town The storm afar calls the name On my shoulders fall the blame The people are afraid Who here has betrayed me? The violent skies rain down The violent skies spin around The violent skies hit the ground The violent skies have come to town Trumpets blare and cymbals crash Cumulonimbus torn by blasts People on the ground remain still Not sure what to do or how to feel The violent skies rain down The violent skies spin around The violent skies hit the ground The violent skies have come to town Violent skies...

I'm dancing with yesterday I wish I would feel okay I'm dancing with yesterday I wish this partner would go away I don't want to see him no more I don't like this dance floor I don't see him when I look in the mirror But something tells me he's always here I know I've gotten tall But his presence makes me feel so small I know I've gotten tall But his presence makes me want to fall Chorus And when I rest my eyes on her Spinning across the barren earth I want to reach out with my heart But oh no he won't let me start I know what I could say But he says the challenge is too great I know what I could say But I'm not getting it out today Chorus I say I hate this dance floor He says I hate myself I say "I'm leaving you" He says there's no one else I say "what about-" He cuts me off, then He Turns around with an evil grin Why can't I get away He should be dead and buried, Mr. Yesterday Why can't I get away He should be dead and buried Mr. Yesterday

Ride 02:22
I seem to be always slipping through the cracks of closed doorways through which I can never go back Either give me justice or give me piece of mind like tranquil bliss in the great outside In the great outside where my dreams go to die The meaning behind is hidden from my mind And I shuffle through the brush around me But to get to you I'd have to climb the tree But it's so tall, way up in the sky I don't want to fall so give me a ride But it's so tall, way up in the sky I don't want to fall so give me a ride Give me a ride, give me a ride Only if I won't be a thorn in your side I feel like I can only do one thing That's follow somebody down this stream Down this stream made up of my dreams That's the only place where I'll find what it means Look at what you put me through I'll keep going to get to you But it's so tall, way up in the sky I don't want to fall so give me a ride But it's so tall, way up in the sky I don't want to fall so give me a ride

I'm waiting for a sign of you I've got my ear to the ground listening for the step of your shoes You've been gone and you don't know how much I love you Gone gone away I'm waiting here missing you I'm watching the skies waiting for rain so it won't be the same So dry and barren without you Spartan lands with nothing but pain You've been gone and you don't know how much I love you Gone gone away I'm waiting here missing you I've got my feet in the sand within the land taking root But growth doesn't remove the lack of you or the holes in my suit You've been gone and you don't know how much I love you Gone gone away I'm waiting here missing you My head floats in the clouds searching above for your love The stars spell out your name but I wish they would unite us

I'm faded by my intuition I'm jaded by her television I'm pissed off at the the TV show I got ripped off by the status quo I'll head up to the mountaintop I'm revved up because I got a shot I'll take what belongs to me I'll be the king on top the tree Step back! Step back! Step back! Step back! I'm beaten up, it ain't easy pickings But I won't give up, not til Christmas It's June now, got six months to go I'll pull it off, rain or snow My engine is running hot I think my lid's about to pop I'm taking what belongs to me Now I'm the king on top the tree Step back! Step back! Step back! Step back! Hell, I'm in my prime condition You got shit in hand, just kept wishin' All you got are broken hopes Man, I'm drinking wine in golden robes Why the hell would I ever stop There's always other mountaintops This tree don't got anything for free You ain't gonna take the crown from me Step back! Step back! Step back! Step back!

Space God 05:26
The topic of this discussion is something of unimaginable size A world beyond ours which we cannot comprehend yet Maybe, just maybe, we will never understand To save ourselves from the horrors that are at hand What I am talking about is the destruction of a mind not one but many As you see, we are all connected by some mystical force I cannot explain or begin to comprehend but I urge you Do not delve deeper for surely we will all perish as one Take life for instance, some miracle Or just a chemical reaction played out in perfect subharmony You see, just as easy as it comes into existence it can be extinguished Like a flame sprouting from nothing and gone with a gust of wind Now I sit at my desk and I don't understand I have the knowledge, I have the power But yet my own humanity is telling me to stop I want to stop but the power is pushing me forward so I sit, slowly going insane. The insanity is growing, as I'm writing this journal my poor frail mind begins to crumble beneath me I feel it, the power deep inside, the power to destroy, the power is in my hands But I can't, there is a barrier there, something that is holding me back, why is it holding me back? I know deep down inside this is what I must do but still I cannot go forward with my plan What cruel god would wish this upon me? What cruel being of ultimate power would bestow this to my mind and then let me stop? What god? Some being from outer space? What do I call such a thing? What do I call that power? Hello again, this is my final entry I am sorry to say but I am done with this plan I am finally able to stop myself but at the cost of my own life I have come to terms with my own existence that I am nothing but a pawn for some space god out there in this great beyond Just know that life is safe so long as I perish But I am no hero, I am just a man, corrupted by the cruel intentions of a space god A final quote from Carl Sagan: The cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the cosmos stir us There is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, A faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.

Genie 03:42
Talking to my genie, "When will you set me free? No one knows how much I plead. Granted wishes not for me." One more wish still on my mind, how much kindness can I find? No one knows if I decide to keep my genie trapped inside. Will he forgive if I join all the ones who left him there? Should I keep this last wish for myself, piling up my greed? How many times has he been thrown away used for his helpful pain? I don't know, I don't want to know, I don't wish to know. When I made my first wish, to have someone to kiss, My genie made it so, never will I be alone. Beauty encoded in skin, what I would not give again To have her here my whole life, always there when I'm in strife. Will he forgive if I join all the ones who left him there? Should I keep this last wish for myself, piling up my greed? How many times has he been thrown away used for his helpful pain? I don't know, I don't want to know, I don't wish to know. My genie made it all right, no more would I have to fight. Persuasion infused in speech, they follow all that I beseech. If only I could persuade myself from throwing away My genie inside a box. Maybe I'll just cut the locks. Will he forgive if I join all the ones who left him there? Should I keep this last wish for myself, piling up my greed? How many times has he been thrown away used for his helpful pain? I don't know, I don't want to know, I don't wish to know. Refreshed by the breathing fire, then why am I so damn tired? Gone are all that I held dear, wasting infinite years. Life is death or can't you see, trapped in immortality. Genie why did I leave you to rot eternally?

Your Crime 02:19
Hey what did you find? Who is on your mind? They say love is blind So I guess I can't see your crime Why I am still here I guess I'm frozen in fear Of what you'd say to me If my mind spoke free I can see in your eyes A world where time just flies That's where I'd like to be If there ever could be you and me Na Na Na... Hey what did you find? Who is on your mind? They say love is blind So I guess I can't see your crime I Can sing as Loud as I can I can be your biggest fan But as long you're a photo on the shelf I'm just singing to myself She'll never be close What matters to me most It's like I don't exist When my only possession is wish Na Na Na
