Like It or Not

Like it or not, we've got these soul-wrenching fossil-find scars
under the surface, hard as a stone and always there
It gets in the way, it just has a way of sticking around
Either you get it or you don't, it's all the same
We're all right, but in the shadows it comes to light
We know we're all living in the same past
But that's all gone
Live it or don't, but there's no denying who you were
Like it or not, it's just a part of a part of you
Seems like a shame walking around like you're not affected
But we're all infected with the same affections now
We're all right, 'cause nothing, nothing can stick to us
We know there's nothing we can do
Before we're gone

I Don't Mind

Sometimes so blind
I don't mind, I don't mind
Sometimes so blind
I don't mind, I don't mind
This time I find
I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't find I mind

Matter
02:13
|

Baby, sooner or later, you've got to figure
why does it matter if there's no matter?
Maybe all of the rocks and the sand and the beaches
will wash away with no trace at all
We've got a fight, and our hands are bound
Bound tight and wound
If they've got it right, we won't know till it's too late
No actions please!
Baby, sooner or later you've got to recover
and come on over, and we can discover
matter. Why does it matter that I don't matter
if all we are is just some matter?

More or Less

Salty sea spray
The afternoon is almost gone
Liquid hazy scenes
A restlessness upon me
So far it's too far
hoping for a star to wish on
Happy to be here...
Starless and dreamless
Hours of unbroken silence
Leave your best intentions
outside, to feel the same as
you; how could you?
Your thoughts are on display
Which one will you say?
More or less it's all I can see
More or less it's everything to me

Cronos

Sleep, sleep
In the morning everything will have changed
You'll never be the same as you are right now
In my arms, in my arms
Time can just stop awhile
as long as I have you here
Sleep

I have a bucket of water.
Now will you please hush.
Get out of my band.
Yeah?

When I Was a Boy
04:22
|

When I was a boy, I thought I saw
flaws in the landscape
I was right, I was wiser then
I could always see
I could always see
When I was a boy, I thought I saw
angels in the patterns, demons in the shadows
Release the patterns
Watch them fall from the empty sky
The geometric wilderness...
You were always shy

The Chronically Right
03:39
|
|||
|
We aren't the first to try
but we're sure we'll be the last
When all of our plans align
we'll defeat it
If we were bolder
we would rise
If we were older
we would fight
In all our opinions
we were right
Right, yeah right
When all of our enemies
fall lifeless at our feet
We'll know we're the righteous ones
...or something like that
|

And What's Left
02:41
|
|||
|
and all of our shadows are taking over us now
All of our friends and our enemies are the same to us now
If there's a chance of making it out
we've got to leave it
All living in the same light
And when we dance, we dance all alone
And when we fight, we fight all alone
We are all together now
We're most together when we're all alone
