Lost in Fiction

I keep slogging through this
Drab existence
Friends don’t see it my way
Unfulfillment finds me
Unresisting
Days on replay
What can I do?
Run from my life
From my problems and troubles
When they drag me down I’ll get
Lost in Fiction
Follow the crowd,
They don’t care about reality.
Ev’ry one around’s getting
Lost in Fiction
Vicious cycles are like
Second nature
No-one meets me half-way
Realization is a
Constant stranger
Shattering my
Aspirations
Those around me suffer
Constant windfalls
Fortune finds them by chance
Coasting tows them to a
Place where luck calls
Now this seems my
Only option
Run from my life
From my problems and troubles
When they drag me down I’ll get
Lost in Fiction
Follow the crowd,
They don’t care about reality.
Ev’ry one around’s getting
Lost in Fiction
It’s where I want to be
A world of fantasy.
I chase the whims of dreams
In stories, songs, and screens.
Who cares if I’m not there?
Lies take me anywhere.
Meals of hyperbole
And breathing prose, chapter and verse, image’ry rules supreme.
Bury my head
In the worlds I’ve created
When they drag me down I’ll get
lost in fiction
Run with the herd
They don’t ca-re for uncertainty
Ev’ry one around’s sharing
My addiction
Run from my life
From my problems and troubles
When they drag me down I get
Lost in Fiction
Follow the crowd,
They don’t care about reality
Ev’ry one around’s getting
Lost in Fiction
Ev’ry one around
Lost in fiction
When they drag me down
Lost in fiction
Ev’ry one around
Getting lost in fiction
When they drag me down
Will be lost in fiction

Tweak that Unease
04:12
|
|||
You’re the voice of reason that I’ve given up
No compromise, no solution
Need a jailbreak; I am a prisoner
And my attention has long been spent
I’ve got no intention
Of respecting the lies
Just keep your delusions
And I’ll push you aside
You gotta tweak that uneasy feeling
(I’ve had enough of wa-ste-d time)
You gotta tweak that uneasy feeling
(Why did it take so long for you to grasp?)
You’re the daily grind that’s sapping all my strength
No energy, just pollution
Running out of steam, I am a passenger
And I need something to set me straight.
I’ve got no intention
Of respecting the lies
Just keep your delusions
And I’ll push you aside
You gotta tweak that uneasy feeling
(I’ve had enough of wa-ste-d time)
You gotta tweak that uneasy feeling
(Why did it take so long for you to grasp?)
It’s supposed to be a give-and-take
But I’ll always land on my feet
Even when your intentions are fake
And you show you can’t take the heat
You gotta tweak that uneasy feeling
(I’ve had enough of wa-ste-d time)
You gotta tweak that uneasy feeling
(Why did it take so long for you to grasp?)
You gotta tweak that uneasy feeling
(I’ve had enough of wa-ste-d time)
You gotta tweak that uneasy feeling
Why did it take so long for you to Tweak that unease!

Shoot for the Stars
04:39

So you think you're done, nothing could make things right
At the grindstone, all alone you're wasting time
Wake up, you're ready and we got the answers you need
When you are finished a win will be guaranteed
Shoot for the stars, speak with your heart
Only through self-work, do we find self-worth
Shoot for the stars, way off the chart
If you can take it, you might find, you can fly
Don’t you see the roots have taken hold? You’re sitting in the corner and I see your hands are shakin’
Nothing feels fa mi-li-ar and it all seems to be too much but still you have to
Wake up, you're ready and we got the answers you need
When you are finished a win will be guaranteed
Shoot for the stars, speak with your heart
Only through self-work, do we find self-worth
Shoot for the stars, way off the chart
If you can take it, we’re breakin’ out, so just
Shoot for the stars, speak with your heart
Only through self-work, do we find self-worth
Shoot for the stars, (keep pushing) way off the chart (Keep reaching)
If you can take it, you might find, you can fly
With our determination we can break the flow
Take danger in our stride and never let it go
And through our transformation we can take control
Keep pushing, keep reaching, and never giving up!
Shoot for the stars, speak with your heart
When we have made it, don’t let it fade away
Shoot for the stars, speak with your heart
Only through self-work, do we find self-worth
Shoot for the stars, way off the chart
If you can take it, we’re breakin’ out, so just
Shoot for the stars, speak with your heart
Only through self-work, do we find self-worth
Shoot for the stars, (keep pushing) way off the chart (Keep reaching)
If you can take it, you might find, you can fly

Live my life Live
04:31
|
|||
Once upon a time I thought I’d make it big
Live among the stars instead of in the holes I dig
I once hoped my life would have significance
With no strings attached and facing not one consequence
Being ordinary’s just too small for me
“Big and better” sounds good and that’s where I wanna be
Some may say I’m simply not adventurous
Time will tell but I think they could be more generous
I’ll work hard, make myself a name & live my life live
Take that leap, step into the spotlight, who wouldn’t thrive?
When fame calls, I won’t leave it hanging; my time to shine
Where I go, they’ll be sure to follow, Live my life live
Come and join the party, we got all you need
No vice is a crisis, we'll get you up to speed
But now you’ve arrived I feel I’ve gotta say
For all this indulgence there’s a price to pay
You see this contract?
Did you read it well?
We own you now
And you can go to hell!
Why did I ever bare my soul and live my life live?
Ev’ry day people shake me down, won’t let me take five
Took me in, played me for a fool, how can I survive?
Built to fall ever since I chose to live my life live
You thought you could take it easy but you know, you owe us something, there are no free passes
You have sold your soul and spent your dignity. We are not satisfied with just one slice
You’ve got nothing left to live for; we don’t care. We’ll earn more money from your likeness if you die
You thought you could take it easy but you know, you owe us something, there are no free passes
You have sold your soul and spent your dignity. We are not satisfied with just one slice
You’ve got nothing left to live for; we don’t care. We’ll earn more money from your likeness if you die

Unawake State '84

Wake up, Tune in, Drop Out
Just do as you’re told, And fall in line
Shape up, Drift in, Ship out
Will you be so bold, And try to shine?
But life goes on and on and on, my life without perception
(The unawake state of my mind, weighs on my soul)
Speak up, Cash in, Zone out
Just do as they say, But stand your ground
Stand up, Jump in, Reach out
Just join in the fray, Until you’re found
They tell you what to think, say what you need to feel
The unawake, state of my mind
Keeps me, from speaking my mind it’s concealed
The unawake, state of my brain
Keep up, Get in, Drive out
You can do anything, Don’t fall behind
Look up, Sink in, Fallout!
Of love with drinking, Too many times
They tell you what to think, say what you need to feel
The unawake, state of my mind
(But life goes on and on and on, my life without perception)
Keeps me, from speaking my mind it’s concealed
The unawake, state of my brain
(The unawake state of my mind, weighs on my soul)
There’s something I gotta say to you
This revolution of mind, we gotta see it through
There's something I gotta get to you
To break the lies that bind, and start the world anew
They tell you what to think, say what you need to feel
The unawake, state of my mind
Keeps me, from speaking my mind it’s concealed
The unawake, state of my brain
They tell you what to think, say what you need to feel
The unawake, state of my mind
Keeps me, from speaking my mind it’s concealed
The unawake, state of my heart
They tell you what to think, say what you need to feel
The unawake, state of my lonely heart
