01. Pulverized (For Easy Consumption)
So why don’t you grind it up?
Cause I don’t want to think about it
I just want to consume everything
Would you like me to pulverize this for you?
Does this ease your mind?
So why don’t I chew it up and make it unrecognizable?
I want to know…
Does this ease your mind?
I gotta get this out of my hands
I gotta get this out of my face
I gotta get this out of my head
02. Come December
I’m leaving this December
I’ll be gone all winter
Don’t expect me home for Christmas
Please tell mom I’m sorry, for breaking her heart again
I’ll be back this summer
Afraid I won’t want to stay
But after I’ve known freedom
I can’t live this way
On the road, leaving your sight, but never your heart
(Background)
You know I’ll be on the road from here
You won’t be able to see me quite as clear
But if you need to find me
Look within your heart
Forgiven not forgotten
The miles will take care of that
Because after I’m away for awhile
My heart keeps wishing me back
03. Responsibility
All our actions have far reaching consequences
And just because we could never understand all of them,
That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to
Where will we be tomorrow?
Where will we be today?
What will we be doing?
What will occupy our minds?
Those non-decisions that we make are decisions none the less
We must open up our eyes and see what’s really happening
We can’t turn our heads and look the other way
We must stand up and take responsibility for everything we do
Don’t run away from this
We can’t run away from this
04. The Capitol Of Wisconsin
(Instrumental)
05. Watch The White Line Run
Wake up childhood friend
The clock is dead and no one is counting at all
Watch the street will turn
The white line’s gone and nobody cares at all
Move along, the well went dry
The past fell off the turning minds
Who moves on? The ones who tried
What went wrong?
Three point turn in the road
The tires are spinning and the minds are wondering
What if the silence broke
Our voices are moving and nothing is working at all
Maybe I should drive my car right off a cliff
06. The Turning Stone
You spend your life complaining, blaming everyone but you
And when you’re cold and lonely, you will understand
Success may not come easy and I realize that you
You spend your life complaining, blaming everyone but (you)
Time moves us and proves us wrong, accept it and get along
Questions when you find yourself with nothing to fall back on
Your pride will weaken you to your knees
Stand up for what you believe
(Background)
You need to turn around, and look at yourself
And everything around you, it’s getting to me
You will never understand what I mean when I say that you are blind
You are a hollow man who lacks the strength to even know why
07. For The Currently Departing
We are all disappearing
And I must say
This feels so good and this feels so right
So don’t you worry, I don’t think anything is wrong
We are all disappearing
But don’t you worry, I’ll look everywhere for you
08. Underneath The Evergreen
I cry for a beauty
That words cannot describe
For the source of the 88 keys
Playing funeral songs
Breezes echo through the hollow
We are lost again
Help me find my way home
To the roots of the problem
I cry for the way you have been treated
For the way that the time
Has taken the tide
I cry for a picture
That words could not paint
For the way things look now
To the way they looked then
You know it’s not exactly
The way it’s supposed to be
But you turn your gaze up in the air
And raise your hands you just don’t care
And what am I supposed to do
When no one ever follows through
I can’t do this by myself
But I can’t rely on anyone else…
09. The Want To End It All
And I want to be the one to end it all
Whether as weapon or as wielder
In song or in puzzle
And I want to die before all of my friends
This pain, this suffering
God it’d be so nice to just end it all
Then a voice comes from within and without
Says to me “Oh my son
I know it’s hard to keep going
When you can’t see your progress
But you need to believe me
You’re making progress”
This progression, you must believe
