Quickly pick up your feet, you're falling behind
Cannot tell your steps, you're falling behind
Once more you're not too sure why you're all alone
When there's no one else like you you're better off alone
Tempted into thinking that my secrets are not sacred
Little things like afterlife play in your mind
Like how do I get in, where do I apply
Once more you're not too sure why you're all alone
When there's no one else like you you're better off alone

Heaven is slowly taking back my soul
A little each day is just enough for most
Better that no one knows what lay beyond
Knowing the end is on when life is gone
Oh we'd all be there right now
Just to see what life was all about
Kill ourselves undoubtedly
Suicide would soon become the means
Take my life and see
Pleasantly tempting fate I try again
Now that I'm here I want to know the end
Better that no one knows what lay beyond
Knowing the end is on when death is gone
Oh we'd all be there right now
Just to see what death is all about
Worn ourselves undoubtedly
Making love would soon become the means to an end
Short-lived but better sooner then
Waiting for the perfect death
Wonder what will happen next
Take my life and see

Ode to a Surfer Girl

Selfless suicide,
Wading in sin for the ocean tide
Please just one more ride
Swim right out into the night
Carry me over the edge tonight
Ode to the surfer girl
She spends her life in a surfer world
No bullshit woman, my ocean pearl
Ode to the surfer girl
I surf to lose myself
I feel so free from everything else
These times keep me wet
Deliver me from my everyday hell
As I sink below,
There's at least one thing that I know
When I'm on my board
Hard times wash away with the undertow
Carry me over the edge tonight
Ode to the surfer girl
She spent her life in a surfer world
No bullshit woman, my ocean pearl
Ode to the surfer girl
Fight to find my board
I've never felt this tired before
Selfless suicide
Only for you would I give my life
But here is Paradise, 'cause now I go surfing all the time
Carry me over the edge tonight
Ode to the surfer girl
She spent her life in a surfer world
No bullshit woman, my ocean pearl
Ode to the surfer girl

Tilt My Head

Please take my hand, take me to some better land
And open my eyes, show me that I'm still in line
One more to go, one more before I go
One life to live, one life with nothing to give
Take my hand, direct all my thoughts instead
To a place where you tilt my head
Know that I know what you said
I cannot think this
I cannot fake this
I cannot fake this
I cannot think this
Well I'm going to stop speaking from this moment on
And I've really learned to enjoy this [unknown]
Well I'm going to stop speaking from this moment on
And I've really learned to enjoy the [unknown]

Paint a Picture

Paint a picture of life as it is
To display my thoughts and point of view
The only part that anyone can see
Is some forgotten name
In the corner of who
Please consider when thinking of why we're here
Why we're so afraid
There's so much fear
Vivid ideas eroding away with time
Coloured off the page
Beyond the lines
You think life is tough well shit, get over it
It's nothing that we're not all going through
Chances are most people that I sing this for are much worse off than you
So don't take life for granted
Failed to notice an ocean of plastic fish
Filling up my mind, filling up my tub
I failed to notice another forest of nails
Building up my heart, materialistic love
I paint a picture of life as it is
To display my thoughts, and point of view
It's all in your mind so how do you know the truth?
Is this painting of your point of view
You think life is tough while shit, get over it
It's nothing that we're not all going through
Chances are most people that I sing this for are much worse off than you
So don't take life for granted
You think life is tough well shit, get over it
It's nothing that we're not all going through
Chances are most people that I sing this for are much worse off than you
So don't take life for granted

Poor people take your time here
See nothing disappear
Newspapers tell my story
Tell them I'm sorry
Stand and un-disarm yourself
Fighting forces of yourself
All this marching through yourself
Kill the enemy by yourself
Oh poor people have no time here
Blind nasty light years
Pawn shop your eyes to science
Headless dead my mind said?
Stand and un-disarm yourself
Fighting forces of yourself
All this marching through yourself
Kill the enemy by yourself
Stand down and un-disarm yourself
Fighting forces of yourself
All this marching through yourself
Kill the enemy by yourself

Hide in the Bushes
03:28

I'm finding it harder to read
The chimney is filling with branches and leaves
Holding me captive filling my lungs
Billowing clouds of smoke singing their songs
I'm finding it harder to see
The windows are charcoaled with fallen debris
Stripped of my senses alone in the shed
Faint sound of footsteps and voices ahead
Holler back to them, yell out your name
Scream out in horror as you make your way
Back into hiding, feeling the burn
Hoping to hell it's not your turn
Tears evaporate into the air
Forced to give up I collapse in the chair
Crashing below me. floorboards give way
There I lay wounded in an underground cave
I got the hell out of the way
I hid in the bushes till it was okay
Personified courage saw from below
A brave silhouette standing alone
Holler back to him yell out his name
Scream out in horror as he makes his way
Back in to get you, feeling the burn
Your father is hoping that it's not your turn
Stripped of your senses alone in the shed
The faint sound of footsteps and voices ahead

Song 22

Some people get lonely, I do, so bring them along
Let's be amused
Buy me a night on the town
Give Janis the bill, we'll all sing aloud
A chorus that nobody knows
Mumble the words, mumble your clothes
People get restless, I do, if you heard all my thoughts
If you only knew
The thoughts inside my mind say, "Fuck the world!"
Say, "There's no time"
To live for something more, more than myself so I ignore
People lose interest, I do, I'm bored of myself, you're sick of me too
I'm burned but I won't fade away I bet we'll say
"My my, hey hey"
I'm better, at least better than you
Because I don't care, don't care if I lose
People stop caring, I do, they've heard all my thoughts
If you only knew
Thoughts inside my mind, say, "Fuck the world!"
Say, "There's no time!"
To live for something more, more than myself so I ignore

In this I walk alone
No faith to walk me home
Is what I have enough?
Is what I have too much?
In this time counting down
My time is running out
Is what I have enough?
Is what I have too much?
I'm painting this picture
Everyone is sad
It leaves all the senses
Is this all I have?
In this I wrote this song
I'm done but it’s all wrong
Is what I have enough?
Is what I have too much?
Is what I have too much?
