Airwaves 04:04
lyrics

Taking to the airwaves - Any way the wind blows Information highway - Tune in for the repose I need a reason, some little reason to live (I’ll take it from the airwaves) I need a reason, some little reason to give (I need it from the airwaves) Scanning through the airwaves - Radio’s in freak form Talk radio creeps in - Sound bites for the newborns I need a reason, some little reason to live (I’ll take it from the airwaves) I need a reason, some little reason to give (I need it from the airwaves) This shaky little soundtrack we live, we live Sounds of treason - Broadcast for the sponsors that give, and give Listen through the airwaves - Nothing left to ride on Medium is breaking - Transmission dropped off I need a reason, some little reason to live (I’ll take it from the airwaves) I need a reason, some little reason to give (I need it from the airwaves)

Skin 04:45

Release me from this body - Free me from bone and skin Foreclose upon this body - Leave behind the bone and skin Wanting separation from the vessel that they brought me in Stranded in this world - Trapped inside this shell of skin I want some separation - Free from where the flesh begins I need some separation - Undo the form I’m cast within Wanting separation from the vessel that they brought me in Stranded in this world - Trapped inside this shell of skin It feels so far from home - It seems to be a temporary zone I’m light-years from my home - It seems to be a temporary zone I feel so far from home - It seems to be a temporary zone So many light-years from my home - It seems to be a temporary zone

In This Town 03:42
lyrics

Making all your plans - In this town (Where you stake your claim) I can barely breathe - In this town We should go - Break from the fate that overtakes us If we could leave right now - Go where we won’t be faceless Nothing seems quite right - About this town (No one’s life’s their own) I’ll pack my dreams and stray - From this town We should go - Break from the fate that overtakes us If we could leave right now - Go to where we won’t be faceless Dreaming to be saved - From this town (To slowly be re-born) The life I really crave is gone - From this town We should go right now - Break from the fate that overtakes us If we could leave right now - Go to where we won’t be faceless We should leave now - Start over, leave what’s tasteless We should go now - Move on to what awakes us We should go now… If we can leave…

Further Into Your Wardrobe 04:11
lyrics

No one dares to call you out, and no one knows what you’re about inside The winds no longer at your back, your sanity’s under attack - so hide You’ve crossed that line - your future’s gone sublime As you stand accused - you blow a fuse to survive That’s how we roll - and that’s how we are Look inside my closet please, come watch me work this costume tease - for you Displayed inside your gallery, made-up to be what you believed - was true You’re crossed that line - your future’s gone sublime As you stand accused - you’ll blow a fuse to survive Entranced by your wardrobe needs - sample all this foolish greed Take the style mavens here in stride I try to follow where it leads - I'm in too deep to care or dream Everyone is wearing-out some lie No one dares to call you out, and no one knows what you’re about inside The winds no longer at your back, your sanity’s under attack - so hide You’ve crossed that line - your future’s gone sublime As you stand accused - you blow a fuse to survive That’s how we roll - and that’s how we are That’s how we roll - and that’s how we are Entranced by your wardrobe needs - sample all this foolish greed Take the style mavens here in stride I try to follow where it leads - I'm in too deep to care or dream Everyone is wearing-out some lie That’s just how we roll - that’s just how we are

The Company You Keep 03:36
lyrics

Steal away, steal away, retreat The company you keep from me - Slowly will deceive Peel away, start to peel away - Repeat Review the faces that you’ll need to please - The company you keep I feel so unsure - Don’t want to blend/bend no more I feel too obscure - Unlisted friends to care for Feel the heat, the comfort that you seek These are the people that you’ll need to greet, the company you keep On your mark, your comrade’s so discrete The strangers that you strive to meet - The company you keep I feel so unsure - Don’t want to blend/bend no more I feel too obscure - Unlisted friends to care for Keep them near - All those enemies - Close and dear - All your enemies

Growing Old Disgracefully 03:54
lyrics

Do you live for some kid - Do you live for yourself? It’s time you act like you're somebody else - retool You’re hardly awake - Failed at amusing yourself You’re stroking along for a piece of the wealth Once you gave up trying - Nurture traps maligned your style Right now - The feeling starts to hit you It won’t stop - It’s strong enough to bleed through You're hoping to raise them to be what you’re not Realize their needs won’t fit into your plot (Don’t you? - It makes you more cynical) Blame your condition on everyone else Living to tease what’s left of yourself Once you gave up trying - Bottle bliss sustained your style Right now - The feeling starts to hit you It won’t stop - It’s strong enough to bleed through Right now - There’s opportunity that’s allowed Right now - The feeling starts to hit you It won’t stop - It’s strong enough to bleed through

Last of the Profiteers 03:30

No corporate angel’s gonna’ rescue me Downloading vandals sank their whole regime The prize I chase is not about the money - Passion crushed by the finance crowd Art as bait - The gravy train is breaking down Act live like they hold an advantage in what they bring All this middle-men madness is such a dirty deed The prize I chase is not about the money - Passion crushed by the finance crowd Art as bait - The gravy train is breaking down Lost in the feel - Savor the meal - Taken for granted Lost to the feel - Spoil the deal - Everything's slanted The prize I chase is not about the money - Passion crushed by the finance crowd Art as bait - The gravy train is breaking down Don’t need no scoundrels to salvage me Exploited angels shook down an industry The prize I chase is not about the money - Passion’s crushed by the finance crowd Art is bait - Enthusiasm not aroused This prize I chase - Got shadowed by the money - Passion’s lost in a finance cloud If art is bait - The gravy train is breaking down Lost in the feel - Savor the meal - Taken for granted Lost to the feel - Spoil the deal - Obstacles planted Losing what’s real - Foil the deal - Taken for granted Savor what’s real - Gravy the deal - Everyone’s slanted
