It's your life, you roll the dice
It's your life, you roll the dice
It's your life, you roll the dice
It's your life, you roll the dice
I may have gone overboard
Trying to drag on the night
I should have listened
Yeah, you were right
I didn't want to leave you alone
But for what it's worth
I was just looking for
Another way to get stoned
It's your life, you roll the dice
It's your life, you roll the dice
On my way down to the river
I had a passing thought:
What if I never made it across
And all the beauty that awaited me was lost?
(Go)
It's your life, you roll the dice
It's your life, you roll the dice

Static

Drunk in your boredom
Feel anything but this Static
Stationary C-5 Galaxy
An immovable weight
That is grounded from flight
You don't need anything from me
You don't need anything from me
Drunk in your boredom
Feel anything but this Static
Stationary C-5 Galaxy
An immovable weight
That is grounded from flight
You don't need anything from me
You don't need anything from me
I try
To break it up into pieces
So it's easy
I'm misunderstood
When my
My good intentions
Get lost in the breeze
Then you leave me
Woke up
And my mindset was broken
From the deed
As I recall what I tried to mean
You talk
As if we both fell in love
But that's crazy
The motivation's too hard to reach
Stoned in your boredom
Feel anything but this Static
Stuck in your home
New-age policy
A contagious state of
Back and forth faith
Lest you take everything from me
You won't take anymore from me
I try
To make the most of
The given state of things
But I have fallen to my knees
We all
Are on the cusp of
Some great big memory
But the motivation has been released
You won't take anymore from me

You Gave Me the Time
05:20

You gave me the time
So I might as well
Slip back into the place
Where I was before
I do realize
The danger's forthcoming
But I just want to lie here
For a while
Even though you've tried
You're no longer satisfied
There's a reason you were working
On a new form of you
You know that it's a lie
And you've heard the truth
But it's only whispers now
So you're keeping it loose
Don't tie it down
You gave me the time
So I might as well
Slip back into the place
Where I was before
I do realize
The danger's forthcoming
But I just want to lie here
For a while
(La la la sinking deeper)
I knew from the start
Fragile as you are
You wouldn't get this far
I had a vision but
Overthought it and
Woke up empty handed
But your eyes
Wide open shine through
All the chaos in you
You always hear the same thing
(Fight through the doubt)
You're always saying the same thing
(Fight through the doubt)
You always hear the same thing
(Fight through the doubt)
You're always saying the same thing
(So write it down)
Oh my love
Come and read this
Did I set me up
To drown in my own blood?
You always hear the same thing
(Fight through the doubt)
You're always saying the same thing
(Fight through the doubt)
You always hear the same thing
(Fight through the doubt)
You're always saying the same thing
(So write it down)
Oh my love
Take me up in your arms
I'm sorry to
Dirty you with my blood
I never intended this
But here we are
Full of righteousness
Never getting very far
Would you come out of the woods?
It's getting pretty dark
Run away from all the fools but
Fools we are oh my what fools we are
You can never run
You can never run

My Own Dead Dove
02:38
|

I've got the gun
It's pointed where I want it
And you're in the way
I'm just being honest
I shot the gun
Now you're on the ground
And I'm above
But I killed the dove
My own my bug
My home my rug
My hug and my love
My own dead dove
My own my bug
My home my rug
My hug and my love
My own dead dove
I've got the gun
It's pointed where I want it
And you're in the way
I'm just being honest
I shot the gun
Now you're on the ground
And I'm above
I killed the dove
My own my bug
My home my rug
My hug and my love
My own dead dove
My own my bug
My home my rug
My hug and my love
My own dead dove
My own my bug
My home my rug
My hug and my love
My own dead dove

STAY.

Time to decide
What we're doing here
Leave you behind
Or maybe I need you to
STAY
Stay with me
Build towards
A day when we're free
We tread, over and over
The same ground
Reeling us under
But if I stay
Bring the glass of water
To wash me away
As cool as November
I'll feel myself become numb
If you
STAY
Stay with me
Build towards
A day when we're free
We lay bathing in sunlight
As the world
Rippled and shuddered
I could stay
Wrap my arms around her
And live in a day
As warm as September

Headstrong for Bliss
04:55
|

I came to watch you glow on
I came to hear you speak
I came dressed in all my clothes
Ready to let you feed me
Na na na na
Na na na na
Ready to feel this feeling
Ready to come explore
I know your stomach is pleading
And I'm ready to let you eat me
Yeah
Na na na na
Na na na na
There's
No
Cause
For this (this in my life)
I'm
Head
Strong
For bliss (bliss will be mine)
Dive into your mist
If you say the right words
I'll crawl and kiss your feet
Even though I know what the people will say
I know
It's better to ignore the pain
All the lies and deceit
Mean nothing to me
I'll still pray to your name
Even when it kills me
There's
No
Cause
For this (this in my life)
I'm
Head
Strong
For bliss (bliss will be mine)

Operation Overload
05:35

Haven't I told you this before?
You're pushing close to an overload
I must admit I'm a little impressed
I didn't think you could take the stress
I would have left, myself
Haven't I told you this before?
You're about to short from the overload
You say you live with no regrets
Well, sure
When you don't try your best
You're scared to the bone
A break in conversation leaves you alone
I don't condone
How you fold to the phone
Cause when I'm alone
I find time to learn myself
I can be myself
When quiet is too much
You go and fall into the rough
You're bored, so what?
I can see you're giving up
What did I say?
You pushed too much
And now you're in an overload
And all your friends stay far away
They can see the sparks for miles
If I could I'd take you out for a while
If I could I'd wipe away the pain
Oh love
When quiet is too much
You go and fall into the rough
You're bored, so what?
I can see you're giving up
Swallowed by the darkness
When we fall asleep
But it's bigger than you or me
Take a step back and let's just breathe
Cause it's bigger than you or me
I see
More clearly
Everyday
When I wake

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
What it was before
I can't recall
Right now this
Is all I know
I can't recall
What it was before
I was done
Breathe
And then
Remember
Breathe
And then
Remember
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe

Forgotten moment
Comes in waves again
Bits and pieces come to fit
And I can recollect
How you looked when you said it and
How I gave in to the pressure
Ooh were I not powerless to save my grace
Would I have turned out this way
Ooh I had thought that I had been erased
You made my color faint
Oh love
Take my hand
And touch me
Change me
Where are you now?
It's been so long
I am one to recognize that
All of these vices point to you
Ooh were I not powerless to save my grace
Would I have turned out this way
Ooh I had thought that I had been erased
You made my color faint
Oh love
Take my hand
And touch me
Change me
You couldn't leave it alone
You kept coming back for more
I'll rip out your heart
I'll burry you in the dirt
As cold as it sounds
You buried me first

Well what am I to do
When I've spent it all on you?
And it's not up to me
To walk you down with ease
Either way you choose
I will be stepping out
Cause what am I to do
When there's only space for you?
Oh
Woke up in a cold sweat
Couldn't feel my hands
Everyone is faceless
Even my friends
And I couldn't get away
Held in place
I evade
When vanity is my friend
I am leaving here
My friend
Look at this mess
I try my best to play it safe
And then I'm betrayed
And I won't believe your ignorance
Well what am I to do
When I've spent it all on you?
And it's not up to me
To walk you down with ease
Either way you choose
I will be stepping out
Cause what am I to do
When there's only space for you?
Oh
Goodbye
My friends
I am leaving you
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
