I Want It All
03:04

I want it all, I'll earn it someday
but I'm so lazy, and my world's so hazy
I find I'm always waiting
Protect my vibes,
though they seem quite confined
I'm so crazy, so aren't you afraid of me
'cause there's this something I've tried to hide
Some nights I play God
so I can feel like a fraud
I would be fine
just give me a sign
'Cause I'm finding it hard to let go
You must mean something to my ego
Countless moments I wish I could change
('cause I know)
Music and life should be one and the same
Getting closer, little darlin'
To the thing growing up I thought I could be
It's just space and time
Well is this song even mine?
Does it move me? Could it mean more for those close to me?
That's why I'm always waiting
To eat that blow
of going at it solo
I'd be the man
as soon as I figure if it's who I am
No I won't, I will never let go
If I let up control how would I ever cope
and my ego would not be the same
knowing music and life should be one and the same
Yeah, I know music and life should be one and the same

Think Twice
03:07

I wanna go far
It's getting so hard
Don't follow my lead
is all I'm asking
Winds blow
it's all I know
Desires so contrived in tow
I wish that I could focus
'cause do you even notice?
what I want to be
Picture perfect me
I'm flying, and dying
my life is unwinding
and so know to go as far
'Cause I wanna go hard
It drives me so wild
Don't follow my lead
it's all I'm asking
I wanna go far
It's getting pretty hard
It's all I want
It's peace of mind
And if I fall
it wouldn't matter at all
Please put me to sleep
I'm counting my sheep
They're in a line
I'm wasting my time
my mother knows well
she told me herself

Healthy Resentment
00:33

If it feels like...
one of your days not at all disappointing
It's all in the little lies
You despise me deep inside...
Or do you?

Illusion of Control
03:47
|
|||
|
You think you're free from chain reactions, I can tell
They make the movement that we carry throughout the day
Illusion of control
We never felt at all
Illusion of prediction
is what binds a soul
The ever-changing faces paint a picture, a picture of us
and I feel in touch
in touch with definition
Three words describe me
Illusion of tradition
A very simple crutch
Illusion of contradiction
'Cause it's all one
Illusion of a contact
Three words describe me
Illusion of control
is what binds a soul
(Judgement does not like very many people
but she loves a few very much
Although she is arrogant, she is not nearly as confident as others assume
She does not know how to handle all of her insight, so people get the wrong idea
She is not ruthless, but steady and obsessed in her pursuit for the truth)

Lush Life
03:51

Wonder, why do you look at me
It's all as far as I can see
Your mind is filled with know
so be sure you don't get caught
'Cause maybe it's a lush life
Lush life
Same as the image on the screen
Colors blue and green
It's nothing but a dream
Still, maybe it's a lush life
Yeah, it's a lush life
Living in a lush time zone
Setting it out on my own
When all is said and done,
the world you see can't reach me
Just my own
Why try your best to beat the rest
your best is good enough
until we say goodbye
Here it comes
It's the timing, and the moment, and the structure
Here it comes
It's the way of self holding, what's your function?
Feel it come
it's the doubting, and the timing, and the right now
Feel it come
Who are you? Stop folding

Old Friends
03:08
|

|
I don't want to stay good friends
I wouldn't wanna waste my time
The kind of friends that we resent
don't know how to let you shine
You try to be funny all of the time,
and that's alright
But under the surface, what's it about?
I must admit, I know what's going 'round
'Cause we grow apart
and conversation feels so sparse
but I don't want to let go
It's time for me to let go
So let me get a vibe in here
and realize my deepest fears
I know that you can feel them too
but you say it's just my point of view
That's fine
As long as it's mine
I don't want to stay good friends
I wouldn't wanna waste my time
The kind of friends that we resent
don't know how to let you shine
but I feel you now,
it's clear and loud
I don't want to lose my mind
I don't want to waste my time
I heard that you've been losing friends
Can you recognize a trend?
I know that I sound big mad,
but it's better for us in the end
Nothing's meant to be
so claim responsibility
It doesn't have to waste my time
sticking around with old friends
but when it makes me lose my mind
I don't think I can pretend anymore
So close the door

Larger Than Life
03:45
|
|||
|
I have identity crisis around
please don't say I'm flawed
'cause you model interpersonal excellence
inspiration to us all, while hesitant
I get uncomfortable when I'm around you
but not for anything I mean
it's what I feel, and it's insane
how could you be larger than life?
What can I say but I freeze up when around you
it's a pretty lame excuse
but I swear, I say the cringiest things
the logic of my thoughts eludes me
Not sure of my value around you
It shouldn't have to be that way, right?
Each time I go on conversational limbs, it's wrong
it's wrong
When I look in your eyes, feel like I could cry
is it 'cause I'm small with something to hide
and you're larger than life?
Maybe you're more adult than me in ways I try to see and understand
feelings fall
Singing a song to right my wrongs,
confession just to pass the time
alone this time
I get uncomfortable when I'm around you
how could you be larger than life?
It's not my fault,
and it's not yours
How could you be larger than life?

A Little Bit Closer
04:06
|

I think I've got a little bit closer
I think I've found a use of the day
And I, I think I've caught a feeling
a feeling all my own
I want myself and no one else to feel it
you would not understand,
you would not understand
and it confronts me
do I stay or do I go?
Is this illusion of control?
and am i faking?
but I think I've got a little bit closer
I think I've found a use of the day
And I, I think I've caught a feeling
a feeling all my own
I want myself and no one else to feel it
you would not understand,
you would not understand
