No Turning Back 01:50
lyrics

No Turning back I wasn’t born yesterday It’s high time Time flies in the long run to make up for lost time Still in the nick of time at the eleventh hour We beat the clock In the long run it’s better late than never I suppose But this ship has sailed on someone’s watch But I’ll beat the clock before I call it a day In one stroke I was around the clock anyways

I Hate Society 02:29
lyrics

I Hate Society I hate this fuckin’ society It gives me fuckin’ anxiety No matter who I try to be Cant vent this hate inside of me I sit and suffer silently Watching the TV quietly Can’t seem to get no privacy To be left with my depravity Fuck you Fuck, fuck, fuck society (x8) No one can get me out of here Wedged in and stuck inside the fear Surrounded by the lies we hear Thing are getting worse by the year The end is edging ever near No way to steer away from here No matter how we try to veer Stuck inside the wrong kind of gear I hate this fuckin’ society I find it justifiably A waste of my compliancy It fucks with my psychiatry Taking all of my sanity Addicted to the vanity Where’s the fuckin humanity? Carbon copy personalities Fuck you Fuck, fuck, fuck society (x8) I hate this fuckin’ society No matter how I try to see Through the ways they try to lie to me Caught in a blaze of fiery trees I’m amazed how blind they are to me No sense of me and my rivalry Towards any authority Finally a fatality Fuck you, you shit society Fuck, fuck, fuck society (x8)

Burning Time 03:57
lyrics

Burning Time Burning time Never learned to unwind All the time I was on the climb To find a worthwhile life With a lifestyle in mind All is fine now I’m minding my mind Taken back to the time at the top Second to none but then the time wouldn’t stop Had only begun but then then clock had locked Hand that spun like the treadmill I walked Talking a good talk but never walked the walk Didn’t think this cycle was ever going to stop But I kept on going regardless of the times Never knowing I’d harness all of these chimes Burning time Never learned to unwind All the time I was on the climb To find a worthwhile life With a lifestyle in mind All is fine now I’m minding my mind (x2) Winding up with the time that’s stuck Released the rotor then ran amuck Outa’ time and hands outa’ line 420’s when the second hand struck Now I don’t stay in the days Of roaches overflowing out of ashtrays Hypnotized by the pendulums sway Waiting for the time to (give way) Now I have no time Now I have no time The clock hands have aligned At twelve o’ clock tonight But it’s alright Because it just keeps ticking out the wind While my hands are gripping Onto the future I make my own Can tell the time by the tick tock tone Burning time Never learned to unwind All the time I was on the climb To find a worthwhile life With a lifestyle in mind All is fine now I’m minding my mind (x2) In flames the clock’s melt away Dripping all down and dropping in the drain (x8) Burning time Never learned to unwind All the time I was on the climb To find a worthwhile life With a lifestyle in mind All is fine now I’m minding my mind (x2) Tick tock, I’m rockin’ to the clock (x3) Cause I know that time don’t stop Tick tock, I’m rockin’ to the clock (x3) Cause I know that time don’t stop No it don’t ever stop With the tick tock, tick tock Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock Tick tock the clock don’t ever stop

Wait a Minute 01:32
lyrics

Wait a minute It only takes on word To make a glue From the voice you heard And the choice you knew Wouldn’t be so wise But you’ve seen the lies Right through the disguise Right before your eyes Why hesitate? Tends to frustrate Getting in a state Forming too late Wait a minute Now I’ve seen it All because I think I’ve been it And I think I really mean it And it is me Who formulates not one but three Plan A, plan B and plan C Cant you see That I cannot see Another way to be No matter however free To be myself Is bad for my health Nobody else can save me from myself Wait a minute Think I said that already But I tend to repeat myself So you better all be ready Steady as I go Only I can know Where my mind goes to And so you’ll always know Who I am I don’t know? But I know that I always try To go with a certain flow With what I’m doing So I get through into The next thing that I’m doing I can to get through Yeah, no, oh, so

Headspace 03:35
lyrics

Headspace Crawling into my headspace Sinking into the dead space It’s interlaced! Some just think I’m to waste For the time that’s misplaced In the days that I’m spaced When the clocks can’t be chased Racing for a new way And running away From the memory that stays In my mind where it plays In my headspace In my headspace Spreading the flames Forcing out the headcase I’m a headcase I’m a headcase Make way, live wire Wild fire like a red blaze! Crawling into my headspace Sinking into the dead space It’s interlaced! Are you paranoid? (x6) Are you paranoid at the void In your mind that you avoid?! Now they’re coming for me Now they’re coming for me They’re coming for me The eyes on the hill that I can see Breaking in with their stare Through the soul that they tear In half with delusion Reality mixed into the fusion Losing sense of control A density unfolds Like the atmosphere’s been cut And sold and so they took their tole Tissue scratched and scuffed Blemished by the rough New bridges form, paved by the chill The sky is torn, enslaved but still Crawling into my headspace Sinking into the dead space It’s interlaced! You will find them in your mind (Ha, ha ha) They don’t ever really mind Crawling into my headspace Sinking into the dead space It’s interlaced! They’re coming for us They’re coming for me They’re coming for you They’re coming for me We don’t know how They get so far But all’s I know Is they’re not far Crawling into my headspace Sinking into the dead space It’s interlaced!

Wind the Reel One two Kicking through Straight to you This is how I fuckin’ do it Because I get through Any way that I can And when I land on my feet You know that I demand That I keep it going With the flow that I know Because I know that I always Got to try to show What I’m capable of You know that I’ve got the love Like I’m flying high above Like a dove in the sky I’m getting real high tonight I’m feeling flight Cause you know that I’m doing it right Because I’m fuckin’ light up

Idle Hands 03:24
lyrics
buy track
Idle Hands Rocking with no sign of stopping Toppling, like dominos falling Crawling to the edge of our minds Knocking on the walls that we always find Concealing and without any feeling Kneeling before the edge of the ceiling Peeling off the surface of the ground Found people piled in a giant mound Noises come crashing in Deafened by the sound our silenced sin Linked with it there’s a twist within Bitten by our wits from a venomous sting Ringing, left in our ears Frozen by the fate of our final fears Years we’ve been waiting for the wait to settle Moulded by the heat with the weight of metal Rock, rock, rock, rock (x7) *Speaking in tongues* The devil’s in the marijuana (x3) The devil’s in there The devil’s in the marijuana (x3) I just can’t bare One to behold you Although you don’t know who True how the grow to Be used and control too Time to take it back Time to take it all back (x8) I don’t fear the devil (x3) I don’t fear him at all

Span of a Grain 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Span of a Grain These flames lick ever higher I fade into the flames Been burning time like fire Only to regain These hands of time Slip straight through these hands of mine And define a different time When I was once in my prime Now I’m dying of the thirst For the first thing that sprang to mind When I was at my worst And without the nurse Of a remedy for the curse Now I’m ready for the hearse Can’t reverse these hands But as it stands I’m a man that understand That I can do nothing for the span Of the life that I’m living But I’m still not giving in Why end it abruptly? When I fought for the beginning Pinning it on myself I was bad for my health But like the side effects So was everybody else These flames lick ever higher I fade into the flames Been burning time like fire Only to regain A justifiable reason to go on So I must defy all odds before the time is gone And time is of the essence So no time to waste my life On stimulants or depressants Although I know they’re rife Psyching myself up to face These dreaded demons My might is not enough To tear away from the screaming Dreaming of a time Where the feeling are sublime But now that I’ve seen it all It must be out my mind A sign that there’s a future To me is the relief From the skeletal cage That traps us in belief Locks us in a spin As the clock hands win Over each and every power Of the universe within These flames lick ever higher I fade into the flames Been burning time like fire Only to regain

Strike The Hull 03:15
lyrics

Strike the Hull We’re going down with this ship That’s sailing away (x4) Scraping along on the ice bergs tip Creating a gash, on the hull that’s ripped Now we’re going down at a rate of knots Faster than any of these survival thoughts Midnight struck When we were all stuck Now we’re jammed without a plan It’s so fucked up Women and children first Then get rid of the worst The thirst for survival Comes on with a burst But we’re going down Like we’re bound to be found Deep underwater laying on the ground Like we’re a long lost civilization Never quite made our destination So we’ve got to face it Try not to waste it Cause this life we’re living is too short Can’t replace it Making the most of it Nobody noticed it unfolded Before we were devoted to it We’re going down with this ship That’s sailing away (x4)

What It All Means 04:21
lyrics
buy track
What it all Mean Don’t know which way I’m going Don’t know where I’ve been Stuck in between reality and a dream Been to so many places I’ve seen so many faces Still there’s something inside of me Wants to scream (Oh la, la, la, la) Drifting with the clouds The isolation that we hold to one another Suffocates and causes us to suffer Wonder how we came to be So disconnected from the land and sea Seeing shapes in the clouds above We’ve encased ourselves in a bubble Above all we’re lost and ever lifting The shape of things to come is always drifting Time for me is always racing Staring at the clock and pacing Back and forth like a pendulum The clock faces that I’m facing Tick tock away the day And I’m still here feeling ever young (Oh la, la, la, la) Drifting with the clouds Every day is a sunny day above the clouds Keep that in mind and you’ll come on leaps and bounds And every cloud has a silver lining Still the ninth one will have you brightly shining Much like you’ve seen in a dream Drifting into the air like the steam Still the shapes resemble what you’ve seen Still can’t figure out what it all means Drifting away (x3) Drifting away to brighter days God! Gave rock and roll to you Gave rock and roll to everyone (Every day is a sunny day above the clouds Keep that in mind and you’ll come on leaps and bounds And every cloud has a silver lining Still the ninth one will have you brightly shining Much like you’ve seen in a dream Drifting into the air like the steam Still the shapes resemble what you’ve seen Still can’t figure out what it all means)

Turning Back 06:32
lyrics

Turning Back Time goes slow (Running out of time) Turning back (x10) Turning back to the time that I love In the time’s that I had, where I couldn’t get enough Tough times’ were ahead, still I didn’t fear the future And kept my hot head, cooling cooler and cooler Knew where I was headed and through storms I made my way Running through the rain I prayed for brighter days And I stayed on the path that took me to where I am So now I’ve felt the wrath of a careless man And that man was me, every step along the way Wasn’t hard to see that I’d gather the grey Clouds around me with the attitude I had Engulfed in the darkness I was starting to go mad But I’m glad now and proud how I made it through the down n’ out Sad to see the bad so loud but now I’m free to shout about The survival that I fought for The revival was a lot more Sought out, and not sure whether it was brought forth To the table (x2) I’m unable now to be as stable It’s a fable (x2) That I’m incapable Of sticking To this label (x2) And I know that I’m going to enable All you artists out there No matter where No matter where I go (No matter where, no No matter where I go) (x3) I won’t let go Breaking my back for the good times ahead For the sake of what I lack, and where I was misled Now life is on the up and I’m veering to the clear Making my way home, and I can feel it’s near Fear won’t drag me back cos it’s something that i lack And now I’m in the light, can’t fade away to black The sun is now upon me, and the brightness warms me Give me time to fall free, to love that will adorn me All we ever need is the goodness that we share To give a chance to us to make life only fair Paired with understanding and kindness from the heart A part of us that’s missing right from the very start Art is what fuels me to keep going on So I’m going to keep on singing my song Longing for the day where my mind will break away From time and live in eternity, forever I will stay If only you really knew me You’d see I want to be free From these passages of time Running through mind No way to rewind But as we look behind to the past The only thing we see is how life passes so fast
