1.	Insight In Time 03:37	lyrics	buy track
You asked me for forty Before I knew me It had taken all I had My time is one thing My mind is another And I will never give it both Just for the new fun Just to be someone I already know who I am I just don't need it I just don't need it Insight in time Insight in time Insight in time Insight in time There are no instructions And lots of disagreements About how to live a life But if time is money And your life takes time Is money worth your life? There are many ways to be loved There are many ways to be loved There are many ways to be loved, my dear Don't be scared Don't be scared Insight in time Insight in time Insight in time Insight in time Insight in time Be kind my mind You see this is my very first life It asked me for forty Before I knew me It had taken all I had
2.	Meaning Maker 03:22	lyrics	buy track
I've lost it My meaning I mean that I'm feeling Like I'm standing on a ground built of apathy My brain won't make it work It's stuck in park Everything I try to build Falls into the dark All across my inner world It's cold and dark and miserable I'm looking for some kindling To strike a fire and make it warm You have got to be kidding me Your solution to everything Is to close your eyes and make it seem Like everything is just a dream? Just a dream I'm bitter I'm angry I wish someone told me These are not objective truths These were just your moves I tried on your shoes And forgot they weren't my own But it's over I've moved on Well I've got new friends to lean on And now I mean to make meaning And my heart is making feeling And I'm wearing my own shoes Finding what's true I'm entering the golden age And looking for a brand new page To lift my eyes and make me smile Reconcile this burly mile You have got to be kidding me Your solution to everything Is to close your eyes and make it seem Like everything is just a dream? Just a dream I'm feeling good and now I'm feeling better I've got a brand new sweater I'm feeling good and now I'm feeling better I am the meaning maker I'm feeling good and now I'm feeling better I will write you a letter I'm feeling good and now I'm feeling better You are the meaning maker
3.	Hope In Hiding 02:38	lyrics	buy track
Take my word for it There's nowhere to hide In that truth lies light In that there's nothing to fight or find No matter how far you've gone You've left a trail of crumbs That takes you back to what once was And that which will always be No I don't mind I've still got time No I'm not done I'm still having fun Take my word for it Things really aren't so bad Although there's no hope in hiding There is always hope in hiding
4.	Sandy Vaults 03:47	lyrics	buy track
Even when I go and I lose my flow Up inside my head and I lose my mind Up in my time Big ups to the lie in the big sky Even when I go and I lose my flow Up inside my head and I lose my mind Up in my time Big ups to the lie in the big sky Even when I go and I lose my flow Up inside my head and I lose my mind Up in my time Big ups to the lie in the big sky I descended in sandy vaults underground last night You don't know the depths I'll go to find my time Even when I go and I lose my flow Up inside my head and I lose my mind Up in my time Big ups to the lie in the big sky Even when I go and I lose my flow Up inside my head and I lose my mind Up in my time Big ups to the lie in the big sky Even when I go and I lose my flow Up inside my head and I lose my mind Up in my time Big ups to the lie in the big sky I descended in sandy vaults underground last night You don't know the depths I'll go to find my time
5.	Electricity 04:16	lyrics	buy track
The day that he met her, he felt electricity He drank chamomile, ate melatonin But still couldn't sleep Her black haired bangs Built a frame for her beautiful face Much too excited to talk Until he saw by her side a child Well he assumed that She already had Someone to spend her time with Well I guess the pressure is off At least to talk They met at a library A hush-hush, quiet please kind of place They walked outside to find a half-sunny, half-shady space He read a story to her child with a smile And many a funny face At the end he asker her What is the name of your child? And she said Oh, you've got me confused you see I am a full-time nanny I have no child of my own How about you? Ooh, he felt electricity and he didn't want to leave Ooh, he felt opportunity Ooh, he felt electricity and he didn't want to leave Ooh, he felt opportunity And he gave her his number
6.	After Different Things 01:48	lyrics	buy track
We were after different things After different things, I am stronger I am happy alone As long as I am me We will be after the same things After the same things, we are closer I am happy alone I just hope that you know I'm here
7.	Parts 03:35	lyrics	buy track
I'm scared Of all the things that could go wrong And I know There's no guarantee of things working out I'm the exile I'm on fire Facedown in the sand Dead forever I may never Console the fear inside me Yeah Parts of my self argue with each other Yeah We can do this if we work together It's time You've been lying there in bed Don't lie I know you know You can do better I'm the boss of you I know what to do But you have to listen If you want to be loved You have to earn it Yeah Parts of my self argue with each other Yeah We can do this if we work together Yeah Parts of my self argue with each other Yeah I can do this if I work together There is nothing Odd with having Parts of your self bleeding Call a meeting Find your seating Tell me how you're feeling There is nothing New with having Parts of your self bleeding And achieving And dreaming Yeah Parts of my self argue with each other Yeah We can do this if we work together Yeah Parts of my self argue with each other Yeah I can do this if I work together
8.	Why I Always 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Even as I rush out the door I don't know why I try so hard sometimes Could you tell me why? Even though the chapter's closed I open up the book once more It's torture Could you tell me why? Why I always see The bad before the good Why I only picture All the little things that hurt Even as I think of all the good times I have had They're two dimensional Could you tell me why? Even as I think ahead My head won't do it right The lights don't come on Could you tell me why? Why I always hear The bad before the good Why I only hear The things I think I should It's just a point of view A different color A different hue If it's directed at you Doesn't mean it's real Doesn't mean it's true Even as I try to write it all down on a page I fill the margins Could you tell me why? Even as I start to heal I peel off the scab It's a cycle Could you tell me why? Why I always feel The bad before the good Why I only think of All the things I think I should It's just a point of view A different color A different hue If it's directed at you Doesn't make it real Doesn't make it true
9.	Trying 02:18	lyrics	buy track
Everyday, I try to fit it all in In the end, I end up empty-handed I cannot do everything I wish I could Ooh But I'm trying But I'm trying I took a walk inside my darkness Familiarity belied the heartlessness I cannot feel anything at all, my dear But I'm trying But I'm trying
10.	Pages 04:26	lyrics	buy track
I want all the ideas in my head Please show me the rest of my book Which of these fantasies can I expect And which of these are just a hoax I want to stand on top of a lighthouse And have a clear view of it I want to live at the pace of life And not the pace of my head Pace of my head Ooh I want to take a look at the pages in my book But I realize when I take a look That the pages in my left hand are getting wider Pages in my right hand getting thinner I don't want to miss the page I'm on I don't want to go on and on I don't want to miss the page on I'm on Pages shrouded in mist Another day as a protagonist In a story half-writ Feeling tension toward the end of it Ooh I want to take a look at the pages in my book But I realize when I take a look That the pages in my left hand are getting wider Pages in my right hand getting thinner I don't want to miss the page I'm on I don't want to go on and on I don't want to miss the page on I'm on I want to take a look at the pages in my book But I realize when I take a look That the pages in my left hand are getting wider Pages in my right hand getting thinner I don't want to miss the page I'm on I don't want to go on and on I don't want to miss the page on I'm on
11.	Blur 04:16	lyrics	buy track
I sought out her apartment in a different version My pupils were floating on a bed of ocean This must be a twisted devotion For these memories to follow me post mortem Looking through the window, I see a blur of her Riding her bike further and further The pain in my chest tells me I loved her Once intimate, now complete strangers Ooh All I can do is hope that she's well All I can do is understand myself All I can do is hope that she's well (It's a blur) All I can do is forgive myself (It's a blur) All I can do is forgive myself
12.	Ooh Wah He 02:57	lyrics	buy track
Will you be my meaning? I've been meaning to ask if you're free A quarter after three We don't need money We just need each other's company A nice scenery 'Cause I don't want to live like the people on the screen Always so perfect and clean I just want some room to breathe You were spinning out in an existential anxiety A dark reality Well, dude I feel you I've been there too And I know the hole is deep I'll meet you at your feet 'Cause I don't want to live like the people writing self-help Always so certain they've solved it I just want some room to make mistakes And be okay (Ooh Wah) (Ooh Wah He)
