What We Du 02:59
Started out okay, the Sun was rising in the East, a normal day Taste the air, feel my heartbeat settle in. Out the door What lies ahead? The sky turned red The truth is something we avoid Started to rain, setting fire to the ground, a normal day Watching the fog, feel the darkness setting in. Close the door The words we speak. The ones we don't The truth is something we avoid We're digging deeper into the ground, cuz this is what we do We're moving faster to the end, cuz this is what we do What lies ahead? The sky turned red What have we done? The truth is nothing to avoid

He's cutting a mean stride down US-51. He looks like anybody you'd see in the street. He grins, birds fall dead. He spits, the grass yellows and dies. He can call the wolves, and live in the crows. His name is the name of a thousand demons. His name is Legion. He's coming. (excerpts from Stephen King, The Stand, 1978)

Trust Fund 05:54
That's not what I said, that's not what it means Always ends this way, tapped out party scene (the scene) Changing of the gauze, changing of your mind Crush it in your hand, spoil it on the vine (divine) Whoa, that's the way it goes, selling out our souls for you Mine the underground, boy bands in disguise Cover me in studs, new-wave was a lie (alive) Whoa, that's the way it goes, putting on a smile Powdering my nose for you Everyone in black, tattoos all around Patches on your back, trust fund underground Forty at the door, put it in the tank Gotta get to fest, run back to the bank Run back to the bank Whoa, that's the way it ends Buttering you up for them for you? for me

G E D 02:12
I never thought it'd end this way, I always play a losing game All night and day it's all the same, I've only got myself to blame Alone in front of MTV, my only friends are beer and weed I live in a hole, I scrape out the bowl, Someday I'll earn my GED So, think about it: nothing's gonna change You sing about it because it's all the rage Complain and complain, the garbage that's filling your brain Ten years gone by in a flash, ten dollars in my secret stash If all goes well, I'll find something to sell, if I can get rid of this rash I'm at the end of my rope. I'm on that slippery slope of booze and blow and Domino's, can't see the tip of my nose I've thought about it and something's gotta give They always try to tell me how to live Now that I’m fucked up and cracked-out and blacked-out I'm tired of being a walking stiff I never thought it'd end this way, I always play a losing game All night and day it's all the same, I've only got myself to blame I’ve only got myself to blame I’ve only got myself to blame I’ve only got myself to blame

The atomic breeze is coming to your town, get on your knees and pull the blinds down A silent scream rattles the door down, get on the road, we're leaving town It's all over now, you can't turn around, don't cry just leave it all behind Whatever happened to them? You're leaving this world Whatever happened? You're such a selfish girl It happened all of a sudden, while you were digging for change While you were checking your messages, while you were turning the page While you were hiding, while you were sleeping, while you were going insane It happened all of a sudden and things will never be the...

Beach Buzz 03:38
Fading fast. All the beaches turned into glass Shallow graves. All the creatures, fossil remains Radiation plume. Greens turn into blues. The Sun swallows the Moon Painted Desert Tan. No trees. No seas. No air. No one to care

Yr Excused 07:02
I had insomnia for days I thought I was the one to blame Another name checked off your list Walk away. No goodbyes I'm such a fool It's all right, I’m insane It’s all right, I’m insane It’s all right, I’m insane What's your excuse? Pull my head out of the dirt Brush the dandruff off my shirt Taste the bile in your throat I'm still here. No regrets More, better, best It's all right, I’m insane It’s all right, I’m insane It’s all right, I’m insane It’s all right, I’m insane What's your excuse?

I'm rollin' like a freak on wheels, but I know I’m gonna get there someday A pack of smokes is all I need, let a young man fulfill his deed, yeah Chrome-eyed with a side six slant, she's a harbinger of Valiant Rogue Rebel baby AMC, ‘cuz I’m your Comet crash on Mercury I'm running like a freak on wheels, but I know I’m gonna catch her someday Let a young man fulfill his deed, I’m unsafe at any speed A king of nothing and a prince of speed, I'm Unsafe At Any Speed

Earth Day 03:12
Ever think of what this place could be? Three pills to put yourself to sleep Making all the same mistakes we did before Turning everything to trash Two of these and call me in the morning But I don't wanna hear your problems now Ever feel like someone's watching you? Turn the dial, dial's turning you Following the path, you think you've got a choice? Medication just to drown out all the noise But I don't wanna hear your problems now Ever feel like someone's watching you? Turn the dial, dial's turning you Ever feel like, ever feel like, this can't be true? Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Hair of straw, glass of green, eyes as wide as your blood is blue River deep, mountain high, still the same but I don't know why Home again, off the bus, kiss the ground as it turns to dust On the beach, after the gold, still a kid but you're getting old Lost on the highway, headed back to old ways Burning faster through the weekdays Around the next bend, another old friend Try to see you on the weekend Black cloud get over me Black cloud get over you Get bent. I'm getting over, over, over you Running out, close the door Just like a hundred times before Sorry ma, just let it be Black cloud get over me Black cloud get over you Get bent. I'm getting over, over, over you You, you, you

The cricket sang, and set the sun, and workmen finished, one by one, Their seam the day upon. The low grass loaded with the dew, The twilight stood as strangers do With hat in hand, polite and new, To stay as if, or go. A vastness, as a neighbor, came, -- A wisdom without face or name, A peace, as hemispheres at home, -- And so the night became. (Emily Dickinson, The Cricket Sang, 1924)
