Riot act (album)

01) Can't KeepI wanna shake. I wanna wind out.
I wanna leave this mind and shout.I've lived all this life like an ocean in disguise.
I don't live forever. You can't keep me here. I wanna race with the sundown.
I want a last breath. I don't let out.
Forgive every being.
The bad feelings. It's just me.
I won't wait for answers.
You can't keep me here. I wanna rise and say goodnight.
I wanna take a look on the other side.I've lived all those lives.It's been wonder. Full at night.
I will live for ever.
You can't keep me here. 02) Save YouI'm gonna save you fucker. Not gonna lose you.I'm feeling cocky and strong. Can't let you go.
Too important to me. Too important to us. We'd be lost without you.I'm baby, let yourself fall. I'm right below you now. And fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear. Fuck me.
And fuck me if you only hear what you wanna hear.
Fuck me if I care but I'm not leaving here. You helped me when I was down. I'll help when you're down.
Why are you hitting yourself? C'mon hit me instead.Let's pick up your will. It's grown fat and lazy.I'm sympathetic as well. Don't go on me now. And I'm not living this life without you.I'm selfish and clear.You're not leaving here without me.
I don't wanna be without my best friend.
Wake up to see you could have it all. Cause there is but you. And something within you.It's taken control. Let's beat it. Get up. Let's go.
Oh you're in your own world, let's see the whole world.Let's pick up your soul. Fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear. Fuck me.
Fuck me if you only hear the treble in your head.
Please help me to help you help yourself. Help me help yourself. Please want me to. Please let me to help you. 03) Love Boat CaptainIs this just another day? This god forgotten place.
First comes love and then comes pain. Let the games begin.
Questions rise and answers fall insurmountable. Love boat captain take the reigns and steer us towards the clear. Here.It's already been sung but it can't be said enough.
All you need is love. Is this just another phase? Earthquakes making waves.
Trying to shake the cancer off. Stupid human beings.
Once you hold the hand of love it's all surmountable. Hold me and make it the truth.
That when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing.
And there's just one word I still believe.
And it's love. It's an art to live with pain. Mix the light into grey.
Lost nine friends we'll never know. Two years ago today.
And if our lives became too long would it add to our regret? And the young they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today.
The wisdom that the old can't give away.
Hey, constant recoil. Sometimes life don't leave you alone. Hold me and make it the truth.
That when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing.
And there's just one word that I still believe and it's love.
Love. love. love. love. Love boat captain take the reigns. Steer us towards the clear.
I know it's already been sung. Can't be said enough.
Love is all you need. All you need is love.
Love. Love. Love. 04) CropdusterLight green to green, dark green, brown.
Every life is falling down.
Brown to black, it's coming back.
Dies to be part of the ground.
Seed to seedling, root to stem. Eyes, no eyes, there's no difference.
Every life is looking in.
Swallowing seeds on the deathbed.
Dig a hole in the garden. Everyone is practicing.
But this world's an accident.
I was the fool because I thought. I thought the world. Turns out the world thought me.It's all the other way round. We're upside down. Daddy's gone up flames.
But this ain't no movie.
This ain't no book you can close.
When the big lie hits your eye. Everybody's practicing.
Our world's an accident.
I was the fool because I thought. I thought the world. Turns out the world thought me.It's all the other way round. We're upside down. Let the fluence sat it down. (x2)There's an upside of down.
The moon is rolling round the world. (x2) 05) GhostThe mind is grey like the city.
Packing in and overgrown.
Love is deep. Dig it out.
Standing in a hole alone.
Working for something that one can never hold.
A place in the clouds.
Good place to hide oh my oh. So I'm flying away, away.
Driving away, away.
Finding. Hoping. Ways I missed before. Missed before. The TV, she talks to me.
Breaking news and building walls.
Selling me, what I don't need.
I didn't know soap made you taller. So I'm riding away, away.
Hiding away, away.
So much talk it makes no sense at all. My sense is getting cold. So I'm hiding away, away.
Driving away, away.
Passing old friends I won't know at all. Won't know at all. It doesn't hurt when I bleed.
But my memories they eat me.I've seen it all before.
Bring it on cause I'm no victim. Dying away, away. 06) I Am MineThe selfish. They're all standing in line.
Fathing and hoping to buy themselves time.
He I figure as each breath goes by.
I only own my mind. The north is to south what the clock is to time.There's east and there's west and there's everywhere lines.
I know I was born and I know that I'll die.
The in between is mine.
I am mine. And the feeling it gets left behind.
All the innocence lost at one time.
Significant behind the eyes.There's no need to hide.We're safe tonight. The ocean is full cause everyone's crying.
The full moon is looking for friends at high tide.
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrows denied.
I only know my mind.
I am mine. And the meaning it gets left behind.
All the innocents lost at one time.
Significant behind the eyes.There's no need to hide.We're safe tonight. What. And the feelings that get left behind.
All the innocence broken with lies.
Significance between the lines.
We may need to hide. And the meaning that get left behind.
All the innocence lost at one time.We're all different behind the eyes.There's no need to hide. 07) Thumbing My WayI have not been home since you left long ago.I'm thumbing my way back to heaven.
Counting steps. Walking backwards on the road.I'm counting my way back to heaven. I can't be free with what's locked inside of me.
If there was a key you took it in your hands.There's no wrong or right but I'm sure there's good and bad.
The questions linger overhead. No matter how cold the winter, there's a spring time ahead.I'm thumbing my way back to heaven.I'd wish that I could hold you. I'd wish that I had.
Thinking about heaven. I let go of a rope. Thinking that's what held me back.
And in time I've realized it's now wrapped around my neck.
I can't see what's next from this lonely overpass.
Hang my head and count my steps as another car goes past. All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives.
Choosing the shiny ones instead.
I turned my back. Now there's not turning back. No matter how cold the winter, there's a spring time ahead.
I smile but who am I kidding.I'm just walking the miles. Every once in a while I get a ride.I'm thumbing my way back to heaven. (x3) 08) You AreThis broken wheel is coming undone.
And the road's exploding.
But you're keeping me strong.
Rolling along with you. Love is a tower and you're the key.
Leading me higher. When you let me in. Keeping us close, so close, on down the line.
Sometimes I burn like a dot on the sun with no one knowing.
But you're keeping me strong. Moving along with you. You are a tower of strength to me.
The darkening hour sees light again. Again. Ooh wah, ooh wah, you are, you are. Love is a tower of strength to me.
I am the shoreline but you're the sea. The sea. You are. 09) Get RightI want for to lay down.I'm waiting till sundown.I'm searching the haystacks.
Water is sunshine.
Wait for the moment.
The moment between us.
The fire is made now.
Harder to touch. I wanted to get right. (x3)With it. With you. Bakers dozen parades.
Stand and debate.
Out single file.
Nine in a row.
Swear if you must.
Keeping your boots on.
Float with the now.
Hot to the touch.
Concrete underground.
Cast out everyday.
Dregs of society.
Underbelly, inside of me.
Rejoice and follow thee. I wanted to get right. (x3)With it. With you. I wanted to get right. 10) Green DiseaseG-R-E-E-D It's a disease and they're all green.
It emminates from their being.
Agitation with occupation.
And like weeds with big leaves.
Stealing light from what's beneath.
Where they have more. Still they take more. Course I know. Then I don't.There's a stoway with my throat.It's deceiving. I don't believe him.
We can scream out our doors.
Behind the wall a fat man snores.
In his dreams he's choking on leaves. Well I guess there's nothing wrong with what you say.
But don't sell me, "There can't be better ways."
Tell the captain "This boat's not safe, and we're drowning."
Turns up he's the one making waves. Waves. Waves. I said there's nothing wrong with what you say.
Believe me just asking you to sway.
No white or black just grey.
Can you feel this world with your heart and not your brain? G-R-E-E-D 11) Help HelpTell me what I wanna hear.
This shits too good to be true.
My dear. Tell me lies. Tell me lies, tell me. Tell me lies, tell me.
Help me. (x6) Storybook keeps from hurting me.
You see.
Shell of the man from the sea. Tell me lies. Tell me lies, tell me. Tell me lies, tell me.
Tell me why. Tell me why, tell me. Tell me why, tell me.
Tell me lies. Tell me lies, tell me. Tell me lies, tell me. Help me. (x6) Reservoir of hate and fear.
Invisible in repair.
A hundred thieves cast a spell.
This is hell. Help me. (x6) The man they call my enemy.I've seen his eyes he looks just like me, a mirror.
The more you read, we've been deceived everyday it becomes clearer.
Clearer. Clearer. Clearer. Not my enemy. No, not my enemy.Don't speak for me. No, not my enemy. 12) BushleaguerHow does he do it? How do they do it? Uncanny and immutable.
This is such a happening tailpipe of a party.
Like sugar, the guests are so refined. A confidence man but why so beleagued?He's not a leader he's a Texas leaguer.
Swinging for the fence. Got lucky with a strike.
Drilling for fear makes the job simple.
Born on third. Thinks he got a triple. Blackout weaves its way through the cities.
Blackout weaves its way through the cities.
Blackout weaves its way. I remember when you sang that song about today.
Now it's tomorrow and everything has changed. A think tank of aloof multiplication.
A nicotine wish and a columbus decanter.
Retrenchment and hoggishness.
The aristocrat choir sings, "What's the ruckus?"
The haves have not a clue.
The immenseness of suffering.
And the odd negotiation. A rarity.
With onionskin plausibility of life.
And a keyboard reaffirmation. Blackout weaves its way through the cities.
Blackout weaves its way through the cities.
Blackout weaves its way. I remember when you sang that song about today.
Now it's tomorrow and everything has changed. 13) 1/2 FullClimbing on a mountain.
Floating out on the sea.
Far from lights of a city.
The elements they speak to me. Whispering that life.
Existed long before breed.
Balancing the world.
On its knee. Don't see some men as half empty.
See them half full of shit.
Thinking that we're all but slaves.There's ain't gonna be. No middle anymore.It's been said before.
The haves be having more.
Yet still bored. Won't someone save?Won't someone save, the world? 14) Arc[ vocal ] 15) All Or NoneIt's a hopeless situation.
And I'm starting to believe that this hopeless situation is what I'm trying to achieve. But I try to run on.It's all or none.
All or none. Here's the selfless confession leading me back to war.
Can we help that our destinations are the ones we've been before. I still try to run on but it's all or none.
All or none. To myself I surrender to the one I'll never please.
But I still try to run on.
You know I still try to run on.
But it's all or none.
All or none.
