01. Caught In The Echo

Do I? Do I? Do I? Do I?
Do I? Do I? Do I? Do I?

This is just a test
Of a broken broadcast system
Consider this an evaluation of my hallucinations
But this is not in jest
This is a conversation
I have another proposition
Only under one condition

I got caught in the echo again
From side to side to side to side
I've been caught in the echo again
Decide, decide, decide, decide
Decide, decide, decide, decide
Do I? Do I? Do I? Do I?

Here comes the crash
I move in two directions
I move in complication
Waiting for intersection
I wanna take it back
Nobody here is truly free
Consider this an emancipation
From all of my confusion



02. Of All People

Of all people, you survived
When no one else could stay alive
You know you should be dead
But you're alive instead

Of all people, you survived
No matter how fuckin' hard you tried
You know you should be dead
But you're alive instead

I saw your face today, I thought I'd seen a ghost
A memory that I had prayed I'd finally lost
And you live happily ever after
How can you live happily ever after?
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

Of all people, you survived
When no one else could stay alive
You know you should bе gone
You're not the only onе

Of all people, you survived
No matter how fuckin' hard you tried
You know you should be dead
You're still inside my head



03. Window

Dancing in the wind, rainy on the weekend
Thunder in the clouds, thunder in the clouds
Lately I don't hear a sound
Lately I don't hear a sound

Maybe I should sleep, feel my eyes weaken
Heavy coming down, heavy coming down
I'm a puddle on the ground
Just a puddle on the ground

Then I saw your face, there in the window
You were a window cleaner letting in the sun
I saw your face there in the window
You were a window cleaner letting in thе sun

Pleased to finally meet you, swinging from the cеiling
Watch you hang around, watch you hang around
Until someone lets you down
Until someone lets you down

I saw your face, there in the window
You were a window cleaner letting in the sun
I saw your face there in the window
You were a window cleaner letting in the sun
Letting in the sun, man, that looks like fun



04. Your Favorite Toy

Nyah-nyah-nyah, nyah-nyah-nyah
Your pretty face in a mirror
One hand to spin the lens
But it ain't getting clearer
Dead gardens from bad seeds
But nice guys grow on trees
Big smile, try not to choke on the glitter

Get back, hear that, boy?
Someone threw away your favorite toy for good
For good
Hey!

Outside and out of time
I'm coming down to the wire
Hold fast and hold my hand
And hold me over the fire
Can't keep my glasses clean
Candy and dopamine
So sweet (So sweet), it's gonna give me the shivers

Get back, hear that, boy?
Someone threw away your favorite toy for good
For good
Hey!
(Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na)
Get back, hear that, boy?
Someone threw away your favorite toy for good
For good



05. If You Only Knew

Now wait a minute, long lost friend
Everything comes around, here we go again
Ain't it a pity, ain't that a shame
You're gone without a trace, face without a name

Oh no, not you
I don't, you do
Good God, who knows?
And so, it goes
Same old story, don't you worry

If you only knew, if you only knew
Maybe you'd feel the way I do
If you only knew

Right down the middle, dog on a chain
The water from the well circling the drain
Hand on the trigger, I'm holding fire
The passing of the flame, burning up inside

Hold on, I know
It comes, it goes
Same old story, don't be sorry



06. Spit Shine

Spit shined, word to the wise
Running into trouble as I run to the light
Nothing really matters, living in the shadows
Don't forget to breathe a little

Bullseye, stereolized
Don't forget we're lucky if we get out alive
Grass is never greener, time ain't no redeemer
Pull yourself together, Mr. Man

Think fast, nothing lasts
Only thing that matters is what you leave in the past
Try to find some meaning, hearts are made for beating
Think I'll stick around 'cause there's something to believe in

And as you get a bit older
Cash in the chips on your shoulder
The honeymoon is over
The honeymoon is over

Too high, ladder to climb
Kill me with a whisper as you're twisting the knife
Cut a little deeper, feels a little sweeter
You know I don't really give a damn



07. Unconditional

I'm sore from sleeping
Everything hurts
Can't say what's on my mind
I'm just not sure

Find a better way
To explain this to you
There are better days
Awaiting, it's true

The clock is ticking
It's back and forth
All those memories worth saving
For what it's worth, I'll

Find a better way
To explain this to you
There are better days
Awaiting, it's true

Under one condition though
It's unconditional



08. Child Actor

I was a child actor, a face on a wall
Holding my breath as I wait for the curtain to fall
Was it good enough? Was it ever good enough?
Anything, be the person that you want

I was a child actor, born to applause
Wasting away as I chase all the roles I've lost
Was I good enough? Was I ever good enough?
Is it me that they see when the cameras are off?

Won't you turn the cameras off, turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off, turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off, turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off

I was a child actor, a name on the board
Losing myself as I use someone else's words
Is it true enough? Is it ever true enough?
Understand who I am when the credits roll

Won't you turn the cameras off, turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off, turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off, turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off, turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off, turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off, turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off, turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off, turn the cameras off



09. Amen, Caveman

Generation euthanized
Go run for cover, you're in for a big surprise
A simulation to keep you at bay
A stimulation and it bombs away

We go down to zero, and back again
Down to zero, amen, caveman
Down to zero, now and then
Down to zero, amen, caveman

Big mouth to beam at the skies
It doesn't matter, the people can see your lies
Too late, the damage is done
Mommy's little helper may be left to a gun

We go down to zero, and back again
Down to zero, amen, caveman
Down to zero, now and then
Down to zero, amen, caveman



10. Asking For A Friend

Save your promises until we meet again
You can save all your promises 'til the bitter end
What is real? I'm asking for a friend
What is real? I'm asking for a friend
Or is this the end?

Give me a reason, show me a sign
Ugliest truth or the prettiest lie

I feel it fading away, fading on you
Searching for something to pray, words I can use
To lay your worry down
Lay your worry down

Save your promises until we meet again
You can save all your promises until the bitter end
What is real? I'm asking for a friend
What is real? I'm asking for a friend
Or is this the end?

When you're alonе, am I a part of you?
Am I a part of you?
Am I a part of you?
You're not alone, I am a part of you
I am a part of you
When I'm apart from you
