The Vortex 00:58

Too Late 03:22
You're always chopping but the cutting was never enough ..and then I wonder I haven't completely fell off or given up You're always chopping but the cutting was never enough then it seems just like I'm falling but I'm always getting up You're gonna push me on my way then you're gonna take it to the limit but I'm gonna give it back today I was bleeding from my back Just a birthday gag with a note for me and your lovers twisted evil laugh I was dying on the floor Looking long for the strength that I once had that I never got to use before

Days can be a waste stuck in a frame but it's just typical To not speak up and stay inside the box but it won't take a miracle Just an accurate view, a new new view just to constitute what's free I say no, I won't go no more diggin' a buried past For the past 3 years I've been wondering exactly how it all went wrong Then a gift from a friend, it showed me I need to sing a different tune Just an accurate view, a new new view just to constitute what's free I say no, I won't go no more diggin' a buried past Oh it's not for sale but for a decent bid it can be shown to us In what we wage for just a sneak peak really ain't enough No
4.
Try to feel better, I said I know you will Bring it all together, I said I know you will When your devil visits just don't forget to give 'em hell All your phrases are a rhythm and a rhyme So connect the lies that lead right to your eyes Singin' me a song and you don't even have to try It's so obvious with who I see There's a longing for a true destiny How I've pondered over times when I've pined Just wishing it was you that I'm talking to Try to feel better, I said I know you will Bring it all together, I said I know you will When your devil visits just don't forget to give 'em hell How I've tried and I've tried to forget though There's something about it,I'm forever in debt Won't you visit 'cause I don't think I can forget

Wifi Party 03:35
We can take off, lift into outer space, maybe flee from the milky way Explore the unknown we got to get it goin' Or we could take off, ride with the waves in the sky up ahead Or just climb up some tall sound waves over hills We got to get it goin. Isn't it luck? Where do I belong? Am I chasing something I can not know? So I burn it all up in the sun We can take off, lift into outer space, maybe flee from the milky way Explore the unknown we got to get it goin' Just a couple clicks and away we go Disappear from reality and explore the unknown Explore the unknown we got to get it goin'

Water Spider 02:27
Water spider is on the move He's got what you need So all his friends can manufacture for another day And how he flies rowing the components to the production lines He don't know what he is gonna do floating down the river, he paddles the whole way through His father was a poor kid from the town of Saugerties Grew up with three brothers and Joe willy's guarantee And he's happy now Smiling 'cause his sorry son has got his feet off the ground He's doing what he can to get it right Floating down the river he paddles with all his might

Drifting 03:18
8.
Typical 04:36
I've got to be careful not to run my mouth when I'm drunk Make sure my crazy for friends are all accounted for I've got to be careful I don't get ripped when I'm standing in the doorway I'm in the door Typical I've got to be careful not to work hard without striving for more To reach out and not expect too much from anyone End, refrain former ways and just stay in the zone I'm in the zone I can afford what I can't afford
9.
So It Goes 03:23
You can't start with this riddle rhyme but this time I think I have found it You can't seek a drip when you're dry A force of habit You can't start with this fickle pride so knock it to the ground and watch it die she said It's time to look for a new way tonight To bring it all together, to heighten not divide So it grows So what's so wrong with having shameless pride, he said Just as long as there's a lack of pain instead You can't start with this Forget it, I don't need it anyway
