The Cell 03:36
lyrics
buy track
I’m a mess I’ve been told And so says my inner clock My life’s been out of control Since I got so stuck In this phenomenon Simply referred to as a rut But what do I know now I will keep my mouth shut If I’d guess I know quite what you think I get asked So many different things So what do you want? World of the faint progress I will do my job, being meaningless I dunno it feels so different The fact that I’m alone and Is there anybody out there? Is there anybody out there? Everything it is so distant Smothered by a system Is there anybody out there? Is there anybody out there? And all the structures fall Along with my discipline Oh, It has been so long Since I tought I fit in I am the only one Not passing this simple test Will I ever return Will I ever find rest

Broken Glass 03:02
lyrics
buy track
Your dream it is collapsing The pride cuts off your blood stream And you keep going on and on and on. on and on and on. Your lower back is aching From the weight that you’ve been carrying Hoping that your troubles will be gone I hope you are in. For some major plundering We’ll steal the dreams that will not last And let them walk on broken glass This really isn’t working But, why don’t you just see it? At this point you’re just ruining the kids. ‘Cause they will grow up begging For more, but they are starving Aching for all they miss.

Alive Again - Adventures 02:50
lyrics
buy track
Running around in circles hoping to find something new to discover, something yet undefined. I’m so fed up with all these boring people Just give me a chance to live the life that I would love to. But nobody dares to. Yeah, nobody wants to. But I do, I guess that I’ll just walk away. Give me a chance, and I will leave right away. Give me a break, and I’ll change my name. I hope that someday I will be able to say: ‘Sorry but I have to catch this train.’ My heartbeat rushes, my body awake. The feeling that moment I never replace. But suddenly my hands are shaking, I can’t think of anything else. But the fact that I’m leaving this old town.

Alive Again - Semester 03:03
lyrics

My brain’s about to explode, I can’t control myself the theories, they block my feelings I seem heartless as you leave. But no matter the weather, I will find you, I will guide you. I’m sick of losing my friends It’s hard for me to keep up with the pace that they’re in. So wake up, the good times we had. ‘Cause the memories I have, they keep me wanting to go back. I know we all have our dreams and our goals set up to reach, and each priority ignored always gets me. I think it’s time to rearrange my schedule as I notice, I’m struggling to see you. So sick of losing my friends It’s hard for me to keep up with the pace that they’re in. So wake up, WAKE UP the good times we had. ‘Cause the memories I have, they keep me wanting to go back. You are the reason I try to stay away from school Without these friends I’d have no idea what I would do Still sick of losing my friends It’s hard for me to keep up with the pace that they’re in. So wake up, WAKE UP the good times we had. ‘Cause the memories I have, they keep me wanting to go back.

TPATP & AA - Roadtrips and Campfires 03:36
lyrics

My darkroom is a place where I tend to spend all summer When all my friends are gone or off with their families And why don't I acknowledge That by the time I go to college I will be running out of cash and memories And everybody's yelling at me Tell me that I'm wrong And everybody's trying to get me to singalong. But I know, I know, there's no place where I belong. My head keeps on spinning and people can't stop screaming I used to get along. I'm getting sick and tired of roadtrips and campfires I used to get along. My heart's never been broken But I have finally chosen To move on with my life Instead of waiting all the time. My longing for those better days And getting sick of your straight face Could never hold me back from leaving Even though I'm barely breathing But everybody's yelling at me Tell me that I'm wrong And everybody's trying to get me to singalong. But I know, I know, there's no place I can go. It's over now I'm not upset About the way we handle that I was pissed and made a song And I will make you sing along It's over now I'm not upset About the way we handle that I was pissed and made a song Now all you suckers sing along
