Big Prize


You’re sensitive.
You’re guarding every piece of your pie.
You can’t give in.
And lose a part of you to this guy.
Accumulate.
Then they’ll be enough or you’ll have to take
More to make sure you’ll win the fight.

I’m sorry, if and what I spoke wasn’t right
You’re not free, if you don’t share in your supply
You’re empiness,
is something that results from your stinginess.
You’re holding down a natural flight

I will take your cards and play your hearts
so I can drive big cars and
When there is enough,
there is never enough, I’ll guard it.
So you will starve

Tell me, is the point of life to survive?
Philosophies based upon rats racing constantly
A competition for the big prize

I will take your cards and break your hearts
so I can drive big cars
And when there is enough,
there is never enough, I’ll guard it.
So you will starve.

You take from me but you don’t ever tell me
Afflict disease, when otherwise would be healthy
Place the squeeze, everyone’s at your mercy
Hypocracy is the policy that kept us down

 
Comes Back to You

You wonder what is happening
You wonder how to find the truth
You wonder what creates this thing
You wonder what the hell to do

And you’ll know by the things you say
And you’ll know by the things you do
And you’ll know by the games you play
It’s all tellin’ you

They try to tell you what is wrong
They try to tell you who is strong
But that’s another point of view
Don’t you know it comes back to you

And you’ll know by the things you say
And you’ll know by the things you do
And you’ll know by the games you play
It’s all telling you.
It’s all tellin’ you

Take a lift from the air you breath
Make a break from your habits too
You’ll find the clue you seek
It all comes back to you
It all comes back to you

 
Changing Minds

She brings me up and then she brings me down.
I took the train in then out of town,
she turned me around
It’s just the way that we have to play,
you know we can’t betray… ourselves

Chorus:
It’s a hurtful thing to do
But it’s happened to me it’s gonna happen to you
Just a part of life, don’t get it misconstrued
As something that will break or damage you

I reeled her in, then I made her believe
But changed my mind and through her back to sea.
It’s just the way that we have to play, you know we can’t betray… ourselves

It’s a painful thing to do
But it’s happened to me, it’s gonna happen to you
Just a part of life, don’t get it misconstrued
As something that will break or damage you

 
The End

The season’s will change- let it rain
The moth flies into flame
becomes one and the same

You lose yourself in the pain-
you know it will not remain
The end is your friend- will let you do it again

The end is your friend- will let you do it again
The end is your friend, will let you do it again
The end is your friend, will let you do it again
The end is your friend, will let you do it again
Feel it all!

 
What You Want, Goes Away

She knows that I need it,
she knows I need to play
As soon as I want it, she takes it away
As soon as you want, what you want goes away
Goddamn! When you don’t want,
you know that’s when it stays

You know I can love you can love you all day.
But when I start to need you,
is when you sail away.
The more I grab, the more I push away.
When I start to need you, is when you sail away.

I’m cryin’ cause I love you.
And love you I must
But is it need, is it love, or is it lust?
Is it lust, baby?
Well if it is, that’s love to me, and love I must

I don’t need to need you
Love has a different meaning to me and you
What might be sane, may not always be true
Love’s definition is not always the same, what is true may not always be sane.

 
You Give Yourself Away

Is this real, is it true?
Just tell me what to do.
Should I take another stride?
Or will Satan have my hide.

You know I’m the chosen one.
I’ve got ownership of the sun.
I’ll claim this land for mine.
With this gun I won’t be kind

Chorus 1:
Just tell me what to believe.
And then I’ll do what you please.
Because it’s hell that I fear.
But I know that heaven is just as near

Chorus 2:
You give yourself away too easily
Just remember who you really are.
You know you don’t have to search far.

Is this belief the truth?
Should I pull another tooth?
Although this is not free.
God forbid that I be me.

I’ll show you that we’re right.
Don’t you dare put up a fight.
Just take your things and go.
Do it now ‘cause God said so!

Chorus 1:
Just tell me what to believe.
And then I’ll do what you please.
Because it’s hell that I fear.
But I know that heaven is just as near

Chorus 2:
You give yourself away too easily
Just remember who you really are.
You know you don’t have to search far.

You give yourself away!

 
Tonight

The lights are out all over the town
We sit and feel the world go round
Turn your head up toward the sky
Can’t you see the stars tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
The snowflake, perfect in design
Her smiling face, transcends all time
If you slow down, you’ll see that you are alive
Can’t you see the Truth tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Seed To a Tree

Take me there.
To a world less bare.
To your love I’ll be.
A seed to a tree.

Would you go?

I’ll take you there.
To a world that’s bare
Beyond the sky.
Let me shine my light.

Would you go?

Bridge:
I’ll give your love a path to fly.
Just spread your wings and fill the sky.
No need to return this gift to me.
You already have by letting me.

Take me there.
To a world less bare.
To your love I’ll be.
A seed to a tree.

Would you go?
Did you know, you’re already there.

I’ll give your love a path to fly.
Just spread your wings and fill the sky.
No need to return this gift to me.
You already have by letting me.

 
Use It Up

Nothing can stand in the way.
Won’t put it off another day.
Intentions will be known.
I can’t breath until they’re shown.

Remember the days.
They’re gone but in my way.
We all hesitate to act, we’d rather wait.

Chorus:
I am writing this
for you.
Follow the heart and then
claim you too.
You are writing this
for me.
If it wasn’t for two, one could never be.

Still haven’t changed my ways.
I’ll put it off another day.
The time remains now.
To fear you cannot bow.

Remember the days.
They’re gone but in my way.
We all hesitate to act till it’s too late

I am writing this
for you.
Follow the heart and then
claim you too.
You are writing this
for me.
If it wasn’t for two, one could never be.

Outro:
Take all your time
Use it up tonight.
Won’t you give me your time?
I’m gonna use it right.

Take all your time
Use it up tonight.
Don’t listen to the mind.
Cause then you’ll lose it.

 
Time Change

The day is golden, we drink from cups of the same.
We sit back while the pieces fall into place.
The mind is open, been closed for a soma holiday.
What was broken, is so easily replaced.

I need all the sunshine.
Until this can pass.
I’ll wear the cast this one time.
To make it to the last.

Flowers bloom and it fills the room in your head.
The girls are dancing, puts love romancing ahead.
The mind is open, been closed for a soma holiday.
What was broken, is so easily replaced.

I need all the sunshine.
Until this can pass.
I’ll wear the cast this one time.
To make it to the last.
Dig.

Worry is the unneeded pain.
Giving attention and worry are not the same.
Change your mind and your life will follow.
Realize your troubles are sweet sorrow.

You don’t have to be half blind.
Or make it go away.
Take that cast off, you’re just fine.
It’s a brand new day.
Dig.

It’s a brand new day.
