Wanted to sleep forever, I’ve been asleep forever Dumped on my face, I find myself in this place Where I couldn’t imagine a new beginning Don’t know why I got up, to see if I’d erupt Been bottled up too long, my angst been building all along Had to find some fun before I kill me Feel the love, feel the pain, this day will never dawn again (x2) Suffocation aggression and avoiding depression Went to find some fresh air, and I didn’t care where But I still don’t believe I found it at the bar On the dance floor I felt dumb, stuck out like a sore thumb She didn’t seem to care, told me to do what I dare And just as I thought ‘this can’t be’, she kissed me Feel the love, feel the pain, this day will never dawn again (x2) I find your lack of faith disturbing When she left I didn’t know these feeling would grow Didn’t know if I was ready yet, she’s like no one I’d ever met Though I’d met her many times before Feel the love, feel the pain, this day will never dawn again Feel the love, feel the pain, this day will never ever dawn again Wanted to sleep forever, I’ve been asleep forever Dumped on my face, I find myself in this place Where I couldn’t imagine a new beginning

Don't Panic 04:09
Feel the fear, it’s always near, it’s everywhere you go It’s the power of a fantasy and there’s something you should know Because we don’t control our minds, it’s easy to hijack With all the crap that we believe we might as well be on crack Don’t Panic, breathe deep, don’t make it your problem Keep that smile on your face, it’s the only way you can stop them The always looming catastrophe, and it’s whole illusion From your worst friend or the TV, you’ve got to be the solution They’re pumping us with all their shit and feeding us their fears We must have just gotten used to it, it’s been happening for years and years Don’t Panic, breathe deep, don’t make it your problem Keep that smile on your face, ‘cause it’s the only way Don’t Panic, breathe deep, don’t make it your problem Keep that smile on your face, it’s the only way we can stop them Good and bad are the feelings that we have, which come from our thoughts Thoughts that are based on ideas we have constructed from information we have received, and a lot of that information is incorrect Feel the fear, it’s always near, it’s everywhere you go It’s the power of a fantasy and there’s something you should know Don’t Panic, breathe deep, don’t make it your problem Keep that smile on your face, ‘cause it’s the only way Don’t Panic, breathe deep, don’t make it your problem Keep that smile on your face, ‘cause it’s the only way we can stop them

Exploited 04:04
You wanted honest work and a decent wage, now you’re wearing golden handcuffs and you’re in a cage Going to that job every day after day, diminishing your soul so you can bring home the pay Totally frustrated and you feel the pinch, 10 years the corporate ladder hasn’t moved an inch Got you by the balls, they know they do, if you miss one more payment your family has no roof Exploited Without your health insurance you could die in the street, or just sit in emergency and be treated like meat Heaven help you if your child needs pills, without insurance coverage you’ll be eating those bills Prey on your guilt and target your fear, to keep the profit margin growing year after year Careful what you say, don’t step out of line, just stay under their thumb cause there’s so little time Exploited Some are in the movies, and some making shoes, those children don’t know better they will die by our rules. Even if you’re poor, doesn’t mean you’re a slave, laboring for nothing all the way to your grave Exploited

Heart Wall 04:58
Day by day, brick by brick, I built my wall, I made it thick No one can get me when I hide inside, not my best friend I keep away the ones I love, everyone else, same as above Life and love pass me by, I don’t fight, I can’t cry One by one friendships fade, sleeping in the bed I’ve made No one can help change me, tear down my wall, set me free Nothing grows without change. Priorities rearrange (x2) I’m not a child anymore, could not see this before Strong enough to take life on, won’t be long ‘til it’s gone Brick by brick, day by day, breaking out, find a way Open my mouth, don’t be shy, smash that wall, escape and fly Nothing grows without change. Priorities rearrange (x2) Ignorance, or my mind, won’t stop me, not this time Sick of the bullsh!t I’ve been through, I love me, I love you Day by day, brick by brick, built my wall, made it thick (repeat)

Invaders 03:26
Stop the invaders of our bodies Stop the invaders of our minds Stop the invaders of our families Stop the invaders of our lives Don’t give up, don’t let it get in Don’t let them get under your skin Stop the invaders of our planet Stop the invaders of our homes Stop the invaders of our silence Stop the invaders of our souls Don’t give up, don’t let it get in Don’t let them get under your skin Stop the invaders of our hopes Stop the invaders of our dreams Stop the invaders of our peace Stop the invaders that get between us Don’t give up, don’t let it get in Don’t let them get under your skin Don’t give up, don’t let it get in Don’t let them get under your skin

{explicit} Water, water everywhere, but do we ever think When we’re done polluting, what are we gonna drink Two million tons of excrement put in the waters every day Cholera and cryptosporidium, diarrhea all the way Want some fish, you wish, now they’re only fiction I remember when you could catch one and cook it up in the kitchen Stories of water, stories of water We talk and talk and fuckin’ talk but nothing really gets done Sanitation, irrigation, our drinking water is not for fun Industrial policy bullshit, the greedy fuckers don’t care They are the same dumb shits that wrecked our planets air Want some fish, you wish, now they’re only fiction I remember when you could catch one and cook it up in the kitchen Stories of water, stories of water It’s time to make some changes, let’s all use our brains Contamination sickness and plagues every time it rains Sewage flows over deaf ears as it has done for years I’m thirst, out of breath, I suspect it means our death Want some fish, you wish, now they’re only fiction I remember when you could catch one and cook it up in the kitchen Stories of water, stories of water

A peaceful mood, a soul needs food, our earth turning, a sunset burning I’ve watched the last echoes of the day drift out to sea I must let them go their own way without me It tales the nonsense far away, beautiful, free These warm colors and feeling don’t stay, couldn’t be I see the change in slow motion, like learning Our minds as vast as the ocean, tides turning We don’t realize we know, our yearning Do not panic, do not fear this sunset burning A peaceful mood, a soul needs food, our earth turning, a sunset burning The world grows dark as I stare, night falls A gift of knowledge, true and fair, no walls Still and quiet, a scene so rare, no malls Sunset burning through the air, above all A peaceful mood, a soul needs food, our earth turning, a sunset burning I will wait for another sunset, natural wonder It may be a long time yet, a gift from her Even Mother Nature has bad days, lightning, thunder After the terror, through the haze, colors we’re under A peaceful mood, a soul needs food, our earth turning, a sunset burning Today is beyond the horizon, what chance did I miss One to change the shape I’m in, or to receive a loving kiss (x2) A peaceful mood, a soul needs food, our earth turning, a sunset burning (x4)

Affirmation 04:50
I am healthy, I am wealthy, I am happy, I am free Once I realize that I am you and you are me I am special, I am unique, I am honest, I am true Everything I say about myself I say to you AFFIRMATION (x3) I am calm, I am relaxed, I am learning, I am wise And we are all connected when I open up my eyes I am peaceful, I am open, I am power, I am grace When I look into the mirror I see everybody’s face AFFIRMATION (x3) I’m creative, I am peace, I am changing, I am light There is no good and bad, there is no wrong and right I am patient, I am humble, I am God, I am divine Another day in paradise, when mine is yours and yours is mine AFFIRMATION (x3) I am grateful, I am aware, I’m accepting, I am giving When I am moving, I know I am living I am perfect, I am worthy, I am whole, I am complete I am that I am, and life as I am is sweet AFFIRMATION (x3) I am here, I am now, I am magic, I am grounded How good can it get, I never cease to be astounded I am willing, I am able, I am arcane, I am love Whenever my life turns dark, I find a way to rise above AFFIRMATION (x3)

Shadow Side 05:30
I am strangely ill from terrifying events, most of them never happened Accumulated yesterdays and fearful tomorrows, leave my will crushed and blackened There is a part of my life that I have always denied, but I can no longer hide my shadow side If I tell you the truth, would you leave, would you cry, or could you accept the good and bad inside When I’m tearful or mad, and ashamed that I’ve lied, then you are seeing right into my shadow side Senseless worry, denial of the now, habitual resistance mode What I know as me, is not me, completely lost and out in the cold There is a part of my life that I have always denied, but I can no longer hide my shadow side I want to be whole, you know that I’ve tried, but I have to get past my fear and my pride There is a choice to be made, when light and darkness collide, to either hold out my hand or show my shadow side There is an unconscious program running all of the time, contradicting every thought Of the artificial story that I’m telling myself, thinking that I’m cool when I’m not There is a part of my life that I have always denied, but I can no longer hide my shadow side When I push it way down, or try to sweep it aside, it always comes back and with a vengeance sometimes My story’s been told, and it feels like a lie, because I left out the part with my shadow side You have one too, you conquer and you divide, and this can only be done by your shadow side There is a part of my life that I have always denied, but I can no longer hide my shadow side…

You Too 03:39
We’ve all been razed to think we’re just pawns in this game, but I’m here to tell you now it’s not that way We can create our own realities and make our dreams come true so the only one you need in life is you I have to laugh every time you cry, always play the victim always asking why You start to quit as soon as you begin, cause the same old thoughts make the same results again When you’re unhappy that’s you, when you’re laughing that’s you When you’re scared that’s you, and when you’re brave that’s you too You need to participate in your own unfolding, let go the limiting beliefs that you’ve been holding When you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired let go and find a way to get inspired I have to laugh every time you cry, always play the victim always asking why You start to quit as soon as you begin, cause the same old thoughts make the same results again When you’re unhappy that’s you, when you’re laughing that’s you When you’re scared that’s you, and when you’re brave that’s you too Life is on your side when your eyes and heart are open wide, allow all the good things to come your way Give up your story, the ‘oh poor me’, stop listening to others and set yourself free I have to laugh every time you cry, always play the victim always asking why You start to quit as soon as you begin, cause the same old thoughts make the same results again When you’re unhappy that’s you, when you’re laughing that’s you When you’re scared that’s you, and when you’re brave that’s you too It’s done unto you as you believe When you’re unhappy that’s you, when you’re laughing that’s you When you’re scared that’s you, and when you’re brave that’s you too

Big pharma, take a pill. They’re the reason society’s ill. Create, Deploy, a new disease. Use the media to break our will Take 12 a day, it’s no big deal, in the western medicine hamster wheel After paying huge tuition, doctors lose their intuition Arbitrarily dealing drugs, on their way to perdition Take 12 a day, it’s no big deal, in the western medicine hamster wheel Better have surgery ‘cause it’s never gonna heal, in the western medicine hamster wheel Pumping kids with Ritalin, to blind them from the cage they’re in Even feed it to adults, when they can’t deal with all their sin Lay on the couch, tell me how you feel, in the western medicine hamster wheel Blindly follow where they lead, the medical mafia demon seed Mile long list of side effects, probably could have just smoked some weed Take 12 a day, it’s no big deal, in the western medicine hamster wheel Better have surgery ‘cause it’s never gonna heal, in the western medicine hamster wheel Lay on the couch, tell me how you feel, in the western medicine hamster wheel

On my last day as a stoned nobody there was something in the air Not just the smoke from me trying not to care On my last day as a stoned nobody there was something out my window Everyone fighting not to hear the things they don’t want to know On my last day as a stoned nobody there was something inside me It felt warm, it felt strong, it felt free On my last day as a stoned nobody there was someone beside me She is it, she is the way that things should be On my last day as a stoned nobody there was something I had to say Just in case there’s no tomorrow do it today On my last day as a stoned nobody there was something in the air Not just the smoke from me trying not to care On my last day as a stoned nobody I wrote this song
