what are you gonna do when the whole world rips right in two and tears you anew and you are born right out of all that old glue that was holding you together i dont think you need to focus so much on the wether(or not) it will change all the time it doesnt find any line you don't need to mind those streaks that you see in the sky every day man it will take us all away if we play and if i had a choice man if i really even had a voice i would say whatever was making me feel that way and it doesnt have to ever be a new modern tragedy something for them to watch on tv anything that they thought they could be if they would just buy a soul man i tell you its getting so old hearing the same kind of bullshit i think i call it quits on this quits on you and quits on me what really is there more to someones destiny as you're fighting for what you thought was eternity i don't want to be afraid of every brand new day it doesn't have to be this way if we would just let go and say whatever we thought was coming our way man i tell you i have lost my way again but it doesnt have to be another modern tragedy that they can watch on tv and pretend that this is something they don't see beyond all those millions of people we lose every moment every year every instant that you are prepackaged and sold man i tell you its getting old so i think id rather be something they have never seen on tv and if i had to be any other reality then let it be let it fall and tear apart what i thought was really me from the beginning it doesn't have to be such an ending and if i really knew what they did to me and what they did to you i think that i would come unglued you don't have to be like every falling leaf that you see it can could be anything that you wanted ever felt like you did believe man don't take it from me you've got your own magic up your sleeve it doesn't have to be something they will buy and sell as they perpetuate their own hell and i don't wanna be what they have come to know i would rather just get to let go i don't wanna feel like anything i even see could ever be real. its all based on how you feel so don't let them make their seal where your soul should be man don't take it from me don't take anything

loose ends
04:50
|

and all of these unfettered strings what do they tie together what do they bring all at once all together we sing all of these loose ends why do we try to hide why do we pretend i don't want to know anything less than what we were trying to let go i dont wanna be what they thought they would see when they turned right around looked at me id rather know if anything or anyone even has a soul and i would rather be feeling every little thing as i rip from my earthly tethers and i feel that spacial weather i don't mind all of those loose ends in my mind i would rather leave behind all of those ghosts towns i don't mind and who are you underneath what does it really rise up to see i don't know if anything or anyone even wants a soul i think i would rather know every loose end that i have soaked in kerosene and let go. i don't know why anyone or anything would want to know.

so if you're walking on hallowed ground would you turn around and tell us all what you've found i don't know if we'll ever be what we thought we would be before they tried to sell it back to you and me and how can anyone really know what they're going to be when it's all fading so you tell me that it's all a mystery but it doesn't have to be that they buy and sell from you to me i don't really feel like anything i see is even real it's all based on history and the way that i feel i don't really know what we left hidden deep beneath that seal but man i tell you i don't want to be real how can anyone really know what they left behind man i tell you i'm just spending my whole life just going blind and why does it have to be something we find can it be stuck on rewind or is it a product stuck on a shelf man i don't really believe in myself i've just got all these pictures and versions of hell they take what they need and they give it back and they sell the best ideas to you and me and we're all looking back at
gaps in history
so if you're walking on hallowed ground would you turn around and show us what you have found so i tell you everything i believe is based on what i thought i would need at the end of history and i don't really think that anything i even see or feel is something that could have ever been so real i don't wanna have to sit on that seal of what we thought we would do before they tried to sell it back to me and back to you

oh plastic screen
won't you reveal to me
all those lost and mysterious
kind of things
oh plastic screen
won't you reveal to me
what i really need
oh man what do you want of me
oh plastic screen
will you become my dream
i don't want to see
what they want of me
i'd rather be
anything i could be
oh plastic screen
what do you want from me
i don't want to believe
i would rather be
so alone
and living in my own
plastic screen
what do you want from me
i don't want to be
what you thought
you did want to see
i would rather
just get to fade into
that plastic screen
that technicolor dream
what does it really mean
i don't know a thing
that comes from me
oh i don't know
i don't really mind
where i'm gonna really go
ohoh
plastic screen
won't you reveal to me
all of those technicolor dreams
that you have been
whispering to me
oh i don't really want to
feel anything
that comes from a movie
just let it be
something that
really moves me
ohohoh
plastic screen won't you reveal to me all those technicolor dreams that you have been keeping from me i don't want to really see what they thought they would get from me when they were really finding out what they thought they really did ever get to see when they were trying to believe in anything other than this screen man i tell you i just want to scream
i don't know.

object permanence

and this
fret board
it can
be ignored
but i don't do it for you
i do it for what's left of my brain man
i'm trying to explain man
that anything can be
so why don't you
just wait and see
and if i could be
anything that i wanted to believe
i think i would find some kind of harmony
and i don't want to be
another version of what they thought they did see
i just want to finally believe
in anything greater than me
because so far
man has shown me
i cannot rely on their plans
i would rather just make my own demands
with the greater good in everyone's hands
and if that paints a target on my back
don't let me be the one they remember
i wasn't so clever
it wasn't great whether
but i found what i found
and man i tell you
i put it all together
i don't really need this spacial whether
just let me disintegrate
into some kind of suede or leather
just texture
i don't really need this lecture
i just want to believe in anything
that could become of this human race
i don't want to see what it could really finally get to be
may they be exactly who they need
what they were waiting to get to see
a finally destiny away from what they had in mind
i don't want to end up blind
i just want to be someone kind
that could rearrange all those monsters in your mind
and bring them all to light
man i don't wanna be so full of fright
i'd rather just be gettin on
into the deep and dark beyond

and they own that land
they own that piece of flat land man
you can't walk there
what is your plan really about
are you trying to seek out
all of that clout
man i tell you i just want out
and who are we
beneath everything that we thought
we did see
man the mystery is not me
it's so much more
what is waiting
what we have
hidden in store
man i tell you
we just sit around
and
wait
for
more
and how do you
justify all of those
shitty things that you do
man i'm lookin right at you
tell me what you think you thought i should be around to do
man the mystery is not you
what do they get to see
what do they really get to be
man i tell you i feel so
god damn weak
this whole world is drowning me
and i don't think i can see
beyond this abyss
man i tell you i'm sick of all this
i don't really wanna know
is there something hidden down below

clouds
04:20

i don't know what to be when the whole world is looking right at me
but i'll see
exactly what i was meant to be
beyond all of this doubt and this grief
and all of these clouds that are strangling
you and me
i don't
what to be
when this whole world turns to look at me
will they finally see what they thought they were going to believe
when they were half as old as me
i don't know man
we'll write new history
it's not me but you
it's not them but me
that we find
running in circles underneath
of every little thing that we were going to be
and what's left for you
and what's left for me
i don't know man
we will get to see
what we believe
this whole world is too much for you
it's too much for me
and i don't want to believe in what has been
circling up inside my head man i tell you i would rather
just go to bed
for the rest of my days
i don't want to feel this way

little things

what do you want to know
who
where do you want to go
the world moves so fast man
moves so fast
moves so
moves so goddamn slow
oh oh oh oh and i wanna know
what makes what makes a human grow
believe all the little things that i need
oh man i know
everything has to go and be something new
everything gets destroyed just to turn into
something that can be used
by a mortal like me
and a mortal
a mortal like you
i don't want to be
the topic on everyone's
everyone's sleeve
i'd rather have my heart fall out
what i need to believe
all the little things that i need
man don't let me be
just another
another
another
modern tragedy
i don't know
what illusions they have thrown
will they go
further and further away from what we know
i believe
in anything that i see
but man you tell me
it's all in what you really thought you would need
it's make believe
we're all wandering through the woods
just trying to see
trying to make sense
of what they did to you
and what they did to me
i don't know
i would rather just be left
so far down below
of what we know
the illusions that they throw
and this whole world
has a sense
of presence past tense
you tell me man
what does it mean
does it mean a thing to you
or a thing to me

who do you want to see
when it all falls down on
you and me
i don't want to have to spend my whole life
retelling that dream
just let it all be
let it all find a way out on it's own
if it can command waves
let it be known
who are you and me
who am i to sit on that throne
just let it all be
who are we to be known
i don't wanna see
a world
doing anything
but playing make believe
so while
we all are are waiting
so who are you to be
anything so profound
who are you to play make believe
when it all burns down
i don't wanna be
anything
that they could try to toss around
i would rather spend my days
just trying to find all the ways
i could fuck around
and try to see
what could be found
underground
and all those names
that are left to be found
man i don't know
what we have buried
so far underground
that we forgot
who we are
but i tell you man
human beings have only made it so far
and if we get around
if we come around
if we try to make it bend and break to anything
that we could ever will to be found
no i don't think it would be
underground

and who's to say
that anyone
or anything will be okay
i would rather
rather see the truth
as it was staring
right at me and you
and who are we
does anyone say
everything and everyone
will be okay
on this rock
that has known so much decay
it's easy to forget
that she's alive
everyday
and i don't know
anything or anyone that has a soul
and who are you
and what are we
oh man
i'm askin you
does it all grow like a tree
or is it unfettered
total chaos
i tell you man i think i would rather just jump
than sit down and find out for myself
i'd rather known
if any living being
even has
a soul
what will you do
when the whole world
is looking right at you
will you spit right in two
and be someone
brand new
and who are you
who are you gonna be
when it's all coming down on me
the whole world is turning around
and right at me they see
and why am i
why am i all that much
and these days
i just feel like
i am losing touch
i don't
i don't want to be
what this whole world
is trying to sell back to me
i would rather be looking
through all the debri
it doesn't really
have to always
turn out to be
a modern tragedy

truth
08:35
|
|||
i don't really feel like anything i see
is even real
it's all a mystery to me
i would rather get to know
anything or anyone
that's stuck down below
everything that we thought we didn't know
i would rather see the truth
even when it's looking away from me
and staring right down at you
and i really feel
like this all dissolves into
something we thought we never knew
so you ask me
do i wonder why
we look at the sky
and we are left here to die
by some unforgiving god
wanting to find peace
in all these tragedies
that were created
that were instigated
from everything below
that we didn't think that we
would ever know
man i tell you
i'm afraid to go
back into that deep and wild
and terrifying fragile unkown
can you tell me everything i've ever known
should it be thrown
right out that window
i would rather see the truth
when it's looking right at me
and it refuses to look right back at you
