Insight In Time
03:37
|
|||
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

Meaning Maker
03:22
|
|||
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

Hope In Hiding
02:38
|
|||
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

Sandy Vaults
03:47
|

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

Electricity
04:16
|
|||
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

After Different Things
01:48
|
|||
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

Parts
03:35
|
|||
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

Why I Always
03:38
|
|||
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

Trying
02:18
|
|||
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

Pages
04:26
|
|||
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

Blur
04:16
|
|||
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

Ooh Wah He
02:57
|
|||
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)
