The plan keeps comming up again
And the plan mean nothing stays the same
But the plan won't accomplish anything
If it's not implemented.

Like it's always been
And it makes me think of everyone
The cause if this is evident
But the remedy cannot be found
Cause it's so well hidden

This history lesson doesn't make any sense
In any less than ten thousand year increments of (common sense) (x5)


. . .



I heard what I said to you,
And it was so out of sync
With the way I wanted to
Make myself out to seem.
I don't like this air,
But that doesn't mean I'll stop breathing it,
Who doesn't think they're at the centre of the universe being it?

Don't look now,
Just keep watching your TV,
Hating what's to see,
Waiting for someone to say something that's RIGHT!

I heard what I said to you,
Thought it was all understood,
But I wasn't getting through,
I'd go on if I could.
I don't like this air,
But that doesn't mean I'll stop breathing it,
Who doesn't think they're at the centre of the universe being it?

Don't look now,
Just keep watching your TV,
Hating what's to see,
Waiting for someone to say something that's RIGHT!

I'm not knocking your want
to carry that home

took it with you
when you moved and got it broke

found the pieces
we counted them all alone

didn't add up
forgot to carry a zero

I can't be your
apologist very long

I'm surprised that
you'd want to carry that on

count your blemishes
you can't
they're all gone

I can't see your response
putting them back on

like they're waiting for your guard to fall
so they can see it all and you're so
occupied with what other persons are
occupied with
and vice versa

and you've become
what you thought was dumb
a fraction of the sum

yeah, you've become
yeah, you have become

a fraction of the sum
the middle and the front

and now it's coming back
hasn't it come too far?

I was trying to help but I guess
I pushed too hard

now we can't even touch it
afraid it'll fall apart


. . .



Come on break it up
It's gone on long enough
What has it changed for you
The tubes tag along
The radar's got it wrong
What hasn't changed for you
Can you wait for the sidewalk
Waiting for you
Can you wait for the sidewalk
Can it wait for you


. . .



Never forget
What I think is true
What I want to do
What I got from you
And all that sun makes so much shine
How this is done like so much science
Can't be explained through common sense
Takes a firm background in remembering
And it takes some math
And there's so much more
It's so hard to read in bad light
It's so hard to see it bad light


. . .



It's barely yours on loan
What you think you own
The place that you call home
The ideas in your bones
In your bones

This would still feel dumb
Back where you're from
Do you
Do you want to change your mind?
Do you want to change your mind?

'Cause you could never know that
In a time trap
In a time trap

Guess that's all fair
Now because
Guess that's all there
Ever was
Grey and sprawling
Save your crawling

'Cause you could never know that
In a time trap
In a time trap

Do you want to save your life?
Do you want to save your life?

'Cause you could never know that
In a time trap
In a time trap


. . .



Finally I don't mind
Worthless tries at finding something else

Best not talk too loud
You're not as smart as you require of them

Your body breaks
Your needs consume you
forever
And with this lies the need to be here
together

Funny thing with blood
You try to stand but neither leg's awake

Just this side of love
is where you'll find the confidence
not to continue

Your body breaks
Your needs consume you
forever
And with this lies the need to be here
together


. . .



You were wrong when you said everythings gonna be alright
You were wrong when you said everythings gonna be alright

You were right when you said all that glitters isn't gold
You were right when you said all we are is dust in the wind
You were right when you said we're all just bricks in the wall
And when you said manic depression's a frustrated mess

You were wrong when you said everythings gonna be alright
You were wrong when you said everythings gonna be alright
You were wrong when you said everythings gonna be alright

You were right when you said you cant always get what you want
You were right when you said it's a hard rain's gonna fall
You were right when you said were still running against the wind
Life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone
You were right when you said this is the end

Do you ever think about it?
Do you ever think about it?
Do you ever think about it?
Do you ever think about it?


. . .



Bet you can't tell I'm
temporarily blind

And how much more can I
get sunburned?

How much more can I
get sunburned?

Bet you can't tell I'm
temporarily blind

Isn't everyone?
Isn't everyone?
Isn't everyone?
Isn't everyone?

Isn't everyone?
Isn't everyone?
Isn't everyone?
Isn't everyone?

The thought of you waiting
for someone
Turn your back on this hating
Turn your back on this hating

Before I forget
It took so long
Turn your back on this waiting
Turn your back on this waiting

I need to know where you're
coming from
Turn your back on the framing
Turn your back on the framing

Who history doesn't teach
It makes numb
Turn your back on their taming
Turn your back on their taming

Yeah, they might let let you say it
But it'd take all day to explain it

(distorted and unintelligble)


. . .



Broken Chairs your body conforms to
Out beyond the quieted garden
You can bring the man form into trust
Through the holes in my everydayness
Lends sustenance where starvation's necessary
Cause my head's a dictionary
Of long spring days and the speech of crows
Who themselves are mirrors of apprehensions
In the fallen sun

Where starvation's necessary
Cause my head's a dictionary
Of long spring days and the speech of crows
Who themselves are mirrors of apprehensions
In the fallen sun
Who themselves are mirrors of apprehensions
In the fallen sun

Well, alright
You can make it stay
Well, alright
Well, alright
Well, alright
You can make it stay
Well, alright
Alright
Alright
Well, alright
Alright
Alright
