The Gentleman's C

I should've opposed it
But I helped build you
And I sold and I filled you
I pressed every key
I should've drowned you
Dropped spotlight and exposed you
Stopped work and just closed you
I was too busy
I should've screened you
Looked in your eyes and killed you
Lifted cover and spilled you
It felt too heavy

Nation Loved Separation

One more week
And we can tell them what this record is saying
Ask them to leave
Because if they stay any longer I'll tell them
Don't you breathe
Cause you'll believe everything they say
Just a few more days
To force a lazy nation together
Nation loved separation

Experience Is The Name Everyone Gives To My Mistakes

They lay in the shadows
So the neighbors can see
There's sure not enough of it
Their stare shutters me
We gave them a flower
And returned with a flame
Maybe giving up again
To highlight the game
Experience, take the best of us
Experience, take the best of us
Seconds before everything
Turned colors again
We watched them tear
The flower stem
That we thought had been lost
And covered with need
Declining our mistake
But accepting our heat,
But accepting our heat
Experience, take the best of us
Experience, take the best of us
You can always name/blame experience...

Antarctica

Well I'm not from, but I wish I were
This system does not fit the temperature
Didn't have to speak when I was there.
45 minutes of trying to be different
A 3 part speech you can leave in the middle
No policy is more effective
The focus of content has never changed
The focus of content has never changed
Building a road block in the middle of the air
Acting as if you're talking to a chair
Nothing compares, nothing compares
You don't fool me
Nothing compares, nothing compares
You don't fool me
Oranges parading around your head
You've left a mess of the house again
Pick one up, pick one up and find your Antarctica
Pick one up, pick one up and find your Antarctica
Building a road block in the middle of the air
Acting as if you're talking to a chair
Nothing compares, nothing compares
You don't fool me
Nothing compares, nothing compares
You don't fool me

The Two Leading In

In the land where I'm from
We survive on a song
Falling past everyone
Assuming the worst of it all
In the center, I'll protect you
It's the fear of your past
And the wells in your eyes
It's as hard as I try not to
Assume the worst of it all
In the center, I'll protect you
The two leading in, is where we begin again

Vanity Calls

Lately when you try
They came when you called them
But only for show
She did not know
I threw away the button
From your winter coat
They watched as you choked
But they still have hope
It's true what that lady said
We'd only last in the shade
Stepped up to the sun
Now I have to run
The light has moved and changed a thousand times
The sounds are the same
You wait by the phone
You sit all alone
It depends on the weather.
The trees outside, an audience of millions
You wait by the phone
You sit all alone...
Your vanity calls

Streamlined

Streamlined and down
Watching over my town
And I've won every battle
Behind your back...
It's time to speak up my friend
It's time to speak up.
Always a sharp fastened smile
And a wall for my shoulder
Hear from his stifled little boy
Around the corner, the Man waits
So patient
It's time to speak up.

Daydream Set

I have a story
They told me to speak
Now I'm asking you dearly
Don't come down
Send all your angels down on me
Let all your daydreams set you free
You reach out and touch me
Your hands are like water
Force and flow
You're gone now
There is beauty in here
Behind the pattern
Your following slowly
Don't come down
Send all your angels down on me
Let all your daydreams set you free
And I've tried, I've tried to hide behind the words you left for me
Hey I'm here, and I'll never leave you waiting in the shade for me if you...
Send all your angels down on me
Let all your daydreams set you free

Rising

Skip a murder
And find the attidude
That's always eluding you
All your doom and gloom
Choose your area
And just sit for awhile
I only hear trains, it's coming in waves
What did you hear?
The soft moves...
Come from behind you
We're insecure
Just waiting for it.
Pause to listen
A rising symbol starts to fade
But you can help them
If you choose to hold them up
You wouldn't understand
We can see that jealous face
Thanks for your time, we're feeling alive
Goodbye...

You Should Get Out More

Sort out your world
We can help you all sort out your world
Just watch and learn how
Just watch and learn how
Trim back the tree
Spend all your days watching the leaves
You should get out more
You should get out more
And I'm not scared of what was written in your window
Watching it melt away as the light
Crossed the corner of your eye
Sometimes compressed
I'm tired of you being depressed
We'll let it go now
We'll let it go now
Blocking the door
You can watch me fall to the floor
To put us back together
To put us back together
And I'm not scared of what was written in your window
Watching it melt away as the light
Crossed the corner of your eye
