A decade plus on the other side
A decade plus of a better life
A decade plus, A decade plus
A decade plus, A decade plus
And to think I almost turned around
almost turned around
And to think I almost turned around
almost turned around
And to was think I almost turned around
almost turned around
And to think I
almost turned around...
No more time in this lonely home
Now it’s time for this boy to grow
No more time, No more time
No more time , No more time
And to think I almost turned around
almost turned around
And to think I almost turned around
almost turned around
And to was think I almost turned around
almost turned around
And to think I
al-most turned a-round...
Never run away never run away
You’re safe here
Never run away never run away
You're safe here
Never run away never run away
You’re safe here

I’m not a robot
I won’t turn for every curve that I see
I won’t be a slave
To the image you’re projecting on me
It’s not what we thought when we were kids
It’s not the only thing that makes the world go round
Everybody needs to get their heads screwed on
It’s not impossible, a balance can be found
What are you trying to sell me?
A sandwich or a prostitute?
Even if it bit you in the face
You wouldn’t know what good taste constitutes
It’s not what we thought when we were kids
It’s not the only thing that makes the world go round
Everybody needs to get their heads screwed on
It’s not impossible, a balance can be found
Decide on your own standards
You don’t have to sink to the standard you’ve been given
What on earth could be worse
Being told what to see or what you should believe in?
It’s not what we thought when we were kids
It’s not the only thing that makes the world go round
Everybody needs to get their heads screwed on
It’s not impossible, a balance can be –
It’s not what we thought when we were kids
It’s not the only thing that makes the world go round
Everybody needs to get their heads screwed on
It’s not impossible, a balance can be found

Prosthetic Reflections

One day
We had to cut off a limb to survive
That day
Was the day that we stopped riding high
Would it all be different
If we’d acted sooner
Would it all be different
If we’d acted sooner

Eyes on the road
mind on the music
Some people say If you don’t use it you’ll lose it
maybe up ahead the ends in sight
I’m closer to the dusk than I am to the morning light
Some people say all that is real are the money and miles
Somehow they’ve never noticed all of the friends we’ve made and the smiles
Some people say
We never listened anyway
Some people say
We never listened anyway
Scene cred? That won’t pay the rent
Critics are not your real friends
Doing this for anyone but yourself
What message does that send?

A Whole Lot Of Work

It takes a whole lot of work to make it
look like you’re not trying
It takes a whole lot of effort to convince us that you don’t care
Why don’t you try being real for once and stop putting on airs?
I don’t wanna deal with your ego anymore
We breathe the same air and we tread on the same floors
You think you’re the white hot hottest of hot stuff
But you’re just the same as me, a walking pile of carbon dust
Hey!
I don’t want a seat at your table if you’re too cool for school
Not gonna break my back for someone who thinks I’m a tool
Bullies like you always put up the coldest fronts
You don’t fool me, your dark secret clouds are clearing up
Hey!
Yeah, it’s not fair
Nobody’s cool
everyone will end up
being buried in a cold dark tomb
