What is On My Mind

I’m on my knees oh
Lord help me
I’ve been on this road too long
Lord won’t you save me
I’ve been wandering
And I can’t be gone too long
And I can’t be gone too long
And I can’t be gone too long
And I can’t be gone too long
And I can't be gone too long
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
Lord I’ve been aimless
Seeking shelter
Where I know I can’t be found (know I can't be found)
Oh won’t you find me
Where my heart beats
When I know I’m safe and sound
When I know I’m safe and sound
When I know I’m safe and sound
When I know I’m safe and sound
When I know I'm safe and sound
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
Is it a fantasy I believe in
Is it a masterpiece that I’m seein'
Is it a tragedy where I’m bleeding
Is it a holiday that I sink in
Is it a fantasy I believe in
Is it a masterpiece that I’m seein'
Is it a tragedy where I’m bleeding
Is it a holiday
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind
What is on my mind

What

What
What am I doing
What am I doing here
(There’s a world out there)
There was a time I knew where I was going
(And it’s calling me name)
There was a road all laid out
(There’s a reason to care)
How I wandered aimlessly on that road
(If you just stop the blame)
What a life that was
(There’s a spark in the air)
What
(If you just light my flame)
Mmmm
Mmmm
Mmmm

Fast Life
04:29
|
|||
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh
I wasn't looking for anything out of the old
Just a missionary with nowhere to go
Oh
Like a rolling stone
Just conquering the great unknown, I'm
On the highway to heaven with nothing but road
Blowing through signs, make it up as we go
Blink of an eye and we're already home
Oh oh
Oh oh
Forever I roam
What are we doing here anyways?
Fast life
Don't you ever think you're running out of time
Every vision's turning into blurred lines
And I don't wanna stop this ride
I'm
Living for fast highs
Bottle up this feeling so it never dies
At least it won't be over
'Til the land slide brings you down
Somehow
I won't ever drop this high
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh
This life can be blinding
It's ever unwinding
Don't know what we're chasing
So good you should taste it
The speed's so fast
I feel like I'm wasted
Feels like a runaway train
Fast life
Don't you ever think you're running out of time
Every vision's turning into blurred lines
And I don't wanna stop this ride
I'm
Living for fast highs
Bottle up this feeling so it never dies
At least it won't be over
'Til the land slide brings you down
Stop drop and roll
You never know
If the fire
Would be nicer than
The things you hold
So just let go
Stop drop and roll
You never know
If the fire
Would be nicer than
The things you hold
So just let go
Oh oh oh
Fast life
Don't you ever think you're running out of time
Every vision's burning like a sunrise
Please don't let me off this ride
Living for fast highs (Don't let, don't let me off)
Bottle up this feeling so it never dies (This feeling)
At least it won't be over
'Til the land slide brings you down
Somehow
I won't ever drop this high

On The Road
03:16
|
|||
Mmmm, mmm
Well I was running in the middle of the night
Trying not to disturb the light
Pouring in (Pouring in)
Through the tree lines
Mmmm mmmm
Mmm mmm
It’s not very often that you find yourself in peace
A complete silence
And mind at ease
But that’s where I go
When I’m on the road
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
And I will hop
A railway train
And I will catch
The next plane on to Spain
Who knows where I’ll go from there
Mmm mmm
Mmm mmm
You’ll cross over mountains
Once you’ve crossed over this bridge
It’s like going fishing while
You’re learning how to swim
But that’s how I’ll go
When I’m on the road
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
And I will hop
A railway train
And I will catch
The next plane on to Maine
Who knows where I’ll go from there
Ooh ooh

The Road Not Taken
00:40
|

What happens on the road not taken
When you realize you've been on that road all along
And it's not what it's cracked up to be?

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don’t know where it goes
But it’s only me
And I walk alone
Oh ooh ooh oh oh
Oh ooh ooh
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I’m the only one
And I walk alone
Ah ah ah ah ah
My shadow’s only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone...

Shadow
04:00
|

Two years
With no sleep
Guess I’ve been living the dream
I’m sinking, I’ve hit the bottom
Searching
For something
To cast aside the feeling
Lurking out from behind
I’ve got this energy
I feel it haunting me
I know it’s following
And now I’ve realized
I’m a shadow of who I used to be
I’m blending into me
Never been so hollow
Feeling incomplete
Like I could see through me
But it’s making me
Stronger than yesterday
I’m embracing the other me
I cannot run from reality
Cuz the shadow is me
Me (me)
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Two worlds
Within me
I don’t know who to believe
I’m fading into the mirror
And even though it hurts
It’s still a part of me
The ghost that never leaves
I guess I’ve gotta learn
To live with my disease
My God help me please
Cuz I need this energy
And it’s always haunting me
I see it following
And now I’ve realized
I’m a shadow of who I used to be
I’m blending into me
Never been so hollow
Feeling incomplete
Like I could see through me
But it’s making me
Stronger than yesterday
I’m embracing the other me
I cannot run from reality
Cuz the shadow is me
Me (me)
And even though it hurts
It’s still a part of me
I guess I’ve gotta learn
To live with my disease
I’m a shadow of who I used to be
Hollow, feeling incomplete
But I'm finally
Stronger than yesterday
I’m embracing the other me
I cannot run from reality
Cuz the shadow is me
Me, me, me, me

Blank Stares
04:09
|
|||
Blank stares
Numb body
Blinking lights all around me
But they don’t inspire me
Stuck in place as the world moves around me
Lost in space as life swirls around me
Sitting in the same place for so long
I can’t feel my legs anymore
They’re not attached to my body
Every fiber in me is swaying
Windshield wipers move in synch
Back and forth to the beat
Of this rainy scene
Blank stares
Numb body
Blinking lights all around me
But they don’t inspire me
A jolt, a rush into color
The arms of a lover
Awaken my senses
No lenses
Done with cheap thrills, oh
All the fluff and the frills are
Never enough to fill me up with
Blank stares
Numb body
Blinking lights all around me
But they don’t inspire me
Oh, oh
Done with cheap thrills (Thrills, thrills, thrills, thrills)
All the fluff and the frills (Frills, frills, frills, frills)
A jolt into color
Awaken my senses
Am I whole again
I’ll let down all
My defenses
It’s always a little too late for
Blank stares
Numb body
Blinking lights all around me
But they don’t inspire me
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Give me something real
Really make me feel
Give me something real
To really make me feel
Give me something real
Really make me feel
Give me something real
To really make me feel
Give me something real
Cuz they don’t inspire me

Cafe Society
03:45
|
|||
One-time coffees
Going nowhere fast
I don’t feel these interactions last
But let’s do this dance
Drag it out as long as we can (Mmm)
Oh, who will love me
When there’s no-one left
To reassure me that the time will pass
Let’s take a chance
Wait it out as long as we have
A better solution
For the effects
Of being lonely
In your best dress
I’m just so jaded
The luster is quickly fading
I’m rusty and I am aging
Caged in this cafe society
Aging aging
Caged in
Keep chasing pavements
Caged in this cafe society
So tell me something that is underneath
The shallow waters of your CV
Don’t you wish that shit was obsolete
Forever searching, forever searching
For a better solution
Than being left
With feeling lonely
Inside in your head
I’m just so jaded
The luster is quickly fading
I’m rusty and I am aging
Caged in this cafe society
Aging aging
Caged in
Keep chasing pavements
Caged in this cafe society
Aging aging
Caged in
Don’t know what day it is
Caged in this cafe society
One of these days
You’ll see the writing on the wall
And all the caffeine in your blood
Won’t save you
One of these days
You’ll find the will to carry on
When your anxiety is gone
Heh heh
I’m just so jaded
The luster is quickly fading
I’m rusty and I am aging
Caged in
I'm just so jaded
The luster is quickly fading (I'm quickly fading)
I’m rusty and I am aging (fading, fading, fading)
Caged in this cafe society
Aging aging
Caged in
Keep chasing pavements
Caged in this cafe society
Aging aging
Caged in
Don’t know what day it is
Caged in this cafe society

Wanderer
03:55

Mmm
Ooh ooh ooh
Yellow golden chains
Hollow stained in the rain
Oh how I long to be
Oh how I long to be
Free, free
Sprawling wings of white
Ah springing from my cage at night
I am a wanderer (I am a wanderer)
Drifting through wander seas (Drifting through wander seas)
Like the sun to light
You and I are tied
Fluidity in my veins
Like a shadow’s passing frame
I leave my silhouette (I leave my silhouette )
Hung with the words I left you (Hung with the words I left you )
Like the moon to night
You and I are tied
