Addiction man
wants to be free
he never meant to cause so much pain
so much hate, so much shame yeah
he walks outside
a lonely night
fading in fading out
a little high a little drunk yeah
he drank from a bottle, just one bottle
how could he have ever known
that he'd become another dispenser
creator of a broken home
creator of a broken home
Addiction man
he had some plans
when he was young he thought
he'd become successful with a good income yeah
it starts with a bottle, just one bottle
how could he have ever known
that he'd become another dispenser
creator of a troubled home
creator of a troubled home
he passes out
that's all he does
every day he's on a different street
he never has anything to eat
Addiction man
wants to be free
he never meant to cause so much pain
so much hate, so much shame yeah

Wake Up
01:10
|
|||
|
I wanna wake up
Go to school
Fall in love and feel cool
With you all the time
Find a park and drink some wine
Sit there in the sun
Fly a kite, eat won ton
Feel young feel free
Carve our names in to a tree
Let’s ride our bikes
Till the sun goes down
And kiss in the rain
And never feel the same
And these are the days
I’ll be so afraid to forget

The Ocean
03:48
|

|
Waves and waves
They always seem to come in red waves
The things in my head
The disgusting diseases that I dread
Take me to the ocean so I can empty the waves from my head
And let the sea yell back at me
I’m stuck inside
I’m stuck inside
My head, the prisoner Said
Stop it before it starts to spread
It can’t be contained in this place
I need a wide open space
Take me to the ocean so I can empty the waves from my head
And let the sea yell back at me
Yeah let it scream at me
Yeah let it scream at me
I fall into a dream
Shh.
The fortune teller
With her bright coloured sweater
Told him he needs
To fulfill his destiny
The prisoner agreed
He doesn’t hesitate
to he runs to the sea
Till his thoughts evaporate
The gate it breaks, the pain escapes
He found a place to be okay
He feels safe, he feels fine
He knows today, the sun will shine
The prisoner escaped
At least for today

Everything
03:39
|

|
Sometimes
I’m afraid that I’ll forget my past
I want
To remember all the times we had
Because
Without them I’m not sure what I’d have left anymore
But I know
As we grow old
Our memories
Fade away
Every day
As our brain decays
An image
slips away
Do you remember the beach?
That time we built a castle in the sand
I cried
Because the waves were ruining my plans
But then
You made a joke about a giraffe and we both laughed
One day
I’ll lie in a bed
And forget
Everything

Souvenir
04:24
|
|||
|
a growing piece of dust
it will do what it must
The tired messenger
The lonely passenger
Are both looking out the window
to see what's left of home
a glowing rainbow sky
just ask the preachers why
they'll tell you something old
the new is full of mold
they'll say, it's time to fold your straight
the crooked have won today
no silver, no gold can clean this mirror
pick up a souvenir

Stop Looking Ahead
01:56
|
|||
|
I should really be studying right now
but these beers aren't gonna drink themselves
so fuck the test
I'll study when I'm dead
And with the way things are going, that might be soon
With nuclear weapons and president baboon
So come drink with me,
Let's quench our misery
Maybe your future don't look so bright
Well my friend, let me lend
You some advice tonight
Your grass is green and your love could be red
But you're thinking about tomorrow instead
well, Stop Looking Ahead
Well I said, Well I said Stop Looking Ahead
Well I said, Well I said Stop Looking Ahead
Maybe your future don't look so bright
Well my friend, let me lend
You some advice tonight
Your grass is green and your love could be red
But you're thinking about tomorrow instead
well, Stop Looking Ahead

December

We’re all sentenced to 5 months of December
A blanket so thick light can barely make it through
Soon, everyone will hide
Too dark to go outside
But I think it’s worth the fight
So let’s turn on that light
I hope you know, I hope you know, you’ll always be welcomed in my home
It’s been a while, but that’s okay, You’ll always have a place to stay
We’re all sentenced to 5 months of December
A time where the colors all turn to grey, they fade away
I watch the sky fall down
White powder fill the town
You know, it’s here to harm
So come inside, it’s warm
I hope you know, I hope you know, you’ll always be welcomed in my home
It’s been a while, but that’s okay, You’ll always have a place to stay
When the colors fade away
You’ll have a place to stay
Soon, everyone will hide
Too dark to go outside
But I think it’s worth the fight
So let’s turn on that light
I hope you know, I hope you know, you’ll always be welcomed in my home
It’s been a while, but that’s okay, You’ll always have a place to stay
When the colors fade away
You’ll always have a place to stay

Fly Away (re-work)
04:24

Drowning
Drowning In the thought of being me
Empty
Empty like in the screaming sea
Is this the beginning
or is this a lost end,
The feeling of sinking
Will hope come again
Breathing
Breathing breaths of fantasy
Chorus:
I will never go
I will never stay
I will never take it all away
Forget all the pain
I just wanna fly
Fly away
Through the darkest times
Through the brightest days
Through the river of the question why
Searching the sun rays
Birds will always fly
Fly away
Searching
Searching for a beach without a rock
Fighting
Fighting for a door without a lock
Look on the other side
Tell me what you see
The sun will never hide
The men are happy
Drowning
Drowning in the thought of being me
Chorus:
Bridge:
i will never go, i will never stay
i will never take it all away
forget all the pain i say
wait another day find another way
try again try again
find a friend who's insane, to blame
walk into the sky, forget how to fly
don't even try to lie to the night or the light
will take you, it'll make you want to scream
and pray and dream to fly away
Chorus
Reality is key wont you leave me be
Escape it all, you see
Through the darkest times through the brightest days
Birds will always
Fly away

Comfort Me
03:27
|

|
Restless irritable and discontent
How I always feel how it always is
Until you come along and take away my pain
Comfort me comfort me
You make me feel okay again
For a moment I feel relief
I'll only have one or just a few
I know you'll help me make it through
cause You don't judge me, you don't care
you're here to comfort me, I swear
That was good that was fine
I know I did it right this time
There’s nothing wrong with having four
Off to bed, no.. maybe one more
Hours later it's all gone
Drunk once more how again?
Out the door, the same old song
The spree's begun, when does it end?
I talk to the bottle cause it listens to me
This twisted novel started with a story
As the pages turn I’ll wrap up the show
I hope I’ll stop tomorrow
But if I cant
you'll comfort me, again

Take It All

Waiting for the sun to set on to this vibe
I’m hoping for a sound that’ll make me fly
Yeah, make me feel alive
Another simple tune is all I need
With cheesy chords to set me free
Bring back those memories
Of all those times where I had nothing on my mind
Sitting in the van talking ‘bout theories and future plans
That was living, I don’t care what you say
If you disagree, I’m sure you’ll understand some day
I’ll sing the songs I used to play
When I was young
Before, I felt the need to fill my lungs
And the demons held their tongues
But that’s just me, what about you melody,
What makes you feel free, feel new
What turns your black in to blue
Is it sound of nature or songs of love
Or the music in your head that makes you think of
Your deepest memories
Of all those times where you had nothing on your mind
Sitting in the sand, thinking ‘bout traveling to far off lands
Those were the days
I think I heard you say
You’d draw a picture of a place, you used to live
Before, you had anyone to forgive
When life was white as snow
And I know, I know, I know sometimes
We feel a little high, then we feel a little low
Emotions creepin’ up our spines
Make us feel like we’re always running out of time
And I know, I know, I know sometimes
We feel a little high, then we feel a little low
But I know, yeah, I know for sure
We’ll be feelin’ the same way that we felt before
Someday I’ll sings the songs I used to play
When I was young
Before The Sunset Vibe had an album
And Take It All was my best song
And I know, I know, I know sometimes
I can lose control of space, I can lose control of time
Emotions creepin’ up my spine
I feel like I’m always fallin’ behind
And I know, I know, I know sometimes
I’ll feel a little high, yeah, I’ll feel a little low
But I know, yeah, I know for sure
You’ll be there to make me feel like I did before

Creating a New Bullet
03:41
|

Starting to get bored with life, what else is there to do? I've done everything too. Accomplished, yet still bored not relaxed. Is there somewhere else to go? Is there something else to do? Lost, yet still content, not depressed. I'm quiet on the inside, anti-tepid on the outside. Everything is good. I don't need anything else. I don't want anything else. Things need to go wrong so i can feel happy again when they get better.
The world is noisy. My world is empty. But everything around me has somewhere better to be. Emotions want greatness, thoughts want contentment. As for me, I'm the same as you. I'll lie until it becomes true. 'Tomorrow' is how i see myself. I'm exactly how i want to be. My flaws bathe with the gods, creating my eyes. I've discovered simplicity. Its all i ever wanted to see so erase my memories, erase all my discoveries. I want to see the world as new and maybe I'd like to do that with you. Don't you ever give up on me. Listen my friend, don’t you ever give up on me.

Its a beautiful day
Id like to spend it with you
Would it be okay
If I just lie beside you
And put my arms around you
Pretend everything's okay
Lets have a conversation
With our minds on vacation
There's no better meditation
Let our thoughts form constellations
Our words form situations
With no limitations
I wish I could lie here
Lie here forever
At least remember
This beautiful day
Your beautiful face
Looking back at me
So what if we wrote a song
Like every other song
But this one would be special
Because it would be ours
And every time I’ll hear it
I’ll think back to this day
The day I lied beside you
And everything was okay

Rambling Roller Coaster
03:50

There’s gotta be a twisted part of me that enjoys the roller coaster
I don’t wake up in a bed
My blankets are a puddle of sweat
The wall is a canopy
The grass is my family
Never trust a man who speaks in absolutes
And if you’re gonna jump out a plain, bring your parachute
I think it’d feel good to fly, I think about it all the time
Stop
Wait a second
Think about
What you’re sayin'
Nah that ain't my style
It hasn’t been for a while
Does anyone still think about what they’re sayin’
Does anyone still care about the games they’re playin’
Does anyone else wanna see a brand new world, across the sea
I know it feels good to talk and forget all about the clock
That slowly ticks your life away, don’t tell me that you aren’t afraid
Cause I am I’ve been that way
Every since I was old enough to say
Help without any shame
Cause I know were all part of the same game
And if you’re really fine, I applaud you
Appreciate that shit, appreciate whats been given to you
I know what you’re thinking, its not a gift its a mindset
But some of us would do anything to hit reset
__________
There’s gotta be a twisted part of me that enjoys the roller coaster
Why else would I be riding it
__________
They say pain is temporary
But success? It’s also temporary
We all go through
Phases where we feel new
But like I said, its just a phase
It’s just a fad that lasts a couple days,
and when it ends you’ll see yourself, your most important friend
Drowning in the ocean
Like a movie playing in slow motion
You’ll stand there on the shore
Watching as you lose this war
And once again you’ve failed your own plan
But I guess that's what its like to have an addiction man
