i feel it when you’re near me
i can’t resist your touch
i'm gonna let you down soon
but right now i need a crutch

i’ve been trying to quit cold turkey
i’m trying
give me a paper
and a black ink pen
i don’t need an eraser

right thoughts, right actions
never one to think twice
a one-off contradiction
i got my head in a vice
i’ve been trying to quit cold turkey
i’ve been trying it a little bit warm yeah
i’ve been trying to quit cold turkey

Down & Out
02:54
|

sitting here with nothing to do
i always hate having to choose
what’s the point in being young
when i should be free (i’m having no fun)
i’m coming down with a cold
you never do what you’re told
writing cheques that i can’t cash
some day i’ll deal with the aftermath
everything that you said
i let it go to my head
but it’s all the same yeah it seems to me
whether you’re flying high or walking on the street
walking on the street
build it up then take it apart
when you’re finished go back to the start
try again with a different view
i’ve got the time (but i haven’t thought it through)
i hope this time i get it right
soon enough i’ll see the light
illuminate the darkest of times
like when i’m down and out and i got no rhymes
got no rhymes
illuminate the darkest of times
like when i’m down and out and i got no rhymes
got no rhymes
but it’s all the same yeah it seems to me
whether you’re flying high or walking on the street
walking on the street

Left Brain

|

the left side of my brain is telling the right one to keep cool
and that's what i do
i keep cool
the inside’s turning outside and what's up ain’t coming down
where have you been?
you can’t be found
it was a dream my dear i can tell you what it meant
stranded in a scene from this delusion i have dreamt
i’m tired of trying to sleep i lost count at a hundred sheep
it was a dream
the jekyll and hyde inside me are fighting to come out
two wrongs don’t make a right but now i have my doubts
the left side of my brain is telling the right one to keep cool
and that's what i do
i keep cool
it was a dream my dear i can tell you what meant
caught in between the seam of the dream and my lament
i’m tired of trying to sleep i lost count at a hundred sheep
it was a dream

Goin' South
02:08
|
|||
i got no time for the snow or the cold
i'm gonna leave it, gotta get away
i packed my bags and i'm ready to go
i'm gonna leave it all anyway
i'm goin' south
i'm sick and tired of the wind and the rain
i'm gonna leave it all just the same
i got no car and i got no money
gonna take it all day by day
i'm goin' south
i wake up at 3 in the afternoon
and think it's time for bed
i'm goin' crazy with these new best friends
i got livin' inside my head
i'm goin' south

Television Dreams
02:18
|
|||
surfin' through the static
of those television dreams
tryin' to decipher
what the fuzz it all means
out of step and your out of line
out of touch and i'm out of time
i sold it all but not for free
hard to save a dime in this economy
flippin' station to station
of those television dreams
everybody's talkin'
through enigma machines
out of step and your out of line
out of touch and i’m out of time
i sold it all but not for free
hard to save a dime in this economy
modern victims of another tragedy
modern victims of another tragedy
shot for the stars but they were bullet proof
you wanted fiction and got the truth
i took a piss in the fountain of youth

Can You Feel It?
02:45
|

can you feel it?
alright you know
do not forget it
can you hear it?
softly dripping
into a coma
no one told me it would be this way
i had to find out on my own
when it all begins to slip away
i'll still be here on my own
can you see it?
on the horizon
it's getting closer
can you taste it?
i know you can
now try and understand
no one told me it would be this way
i had to find out on my own
when it all begins to slip away
i'll still be here on my own
can you feel it?
alright you know
do not forget it
