- Start The Reactor
If you don't need a thing from me
I'll get out of here, I'll leave
Cause I never cared what they think
and I've never been afraid but if I want to learn how to be
I won't need to look far to see
It's just the way I feel
I wanna break things, I wanna break rules
- An Old Book Misread
False hope handed down, spun all around,
With ignorance from past generations
How many times and with how many rhymes?
How many twisted endings for you, for you to realize?
It's not for you to say what every heart should pay
Another body and soul that isn't your own
Get off my back, this was never salvation for me
So, keep it away
- Certain
Hey if you really wanna fight with me
Then drop the act and take accountability.
And own your wrongs and keep them near
Don’t waive your love for foolish fears.
Attention threatened me
Now I give an apology
When stressing is no way to be
- Cure For Apathy
I had been asleep since 1983
Trying to escape the monsters in my head.
Now as I lay in my bed awake,
I wonder where I'd be without them.
There will be wisdom here in time.
And all the stars will be aligned.
Ebb and flow the changing tide.
- Don't Let This Win Over You
DON'T LET THIS WIN OVER YOU
This life will stress the best of you.
The rest of your has got to take control.
The only thing left to accept is to not except a hand from anyone.
So what are you going to do now?
DON'T LET THIS WIN OVER YOU
You're searching, reaching out.
Theres not enough to get you through.
- Echoes
A quick bullet: a tough one to dodge and no one ever does
It cuts fast and deep (keeps you from sleep)
And you just have to let it bleed
I know the pain, it's all to familiar
If I could sing words to help, you know I would
And they would end the pain
But you will have to let this make you stronger
It's difficult to overcome
- Equals
Shouting words at a mirror,
Trying to find the hero.
I don't want to let any of you down.
I see me on the floor of a room inside
My own house with a set of darker eyes.
Distortion shows row to open doors
I closed for good reasons years before.
- Exit Summer
I know that things have never come too easily for us
And with every door that opened, a dozen seem to shut.
We took a crash course in how to co-exist
But we never once expected this.
We paved the way for others and we did it all ourselves,
Never slowing down or asking anyone for help.
Conviction came when no one else believed in us.
- Flight Of The Navigator
Twelve hour drives are nothing when I'm with all of you
Then it's a road that calls my name
So come on, come on, punch it, I can't wait much longer
Living in this moment I know, distanced friends will be closer tomorrow
And when the lights go down, I swear I'll look for your eyes
You're singing every word – you know we’re here because of you!
So come on, come on, punch it, can't wait much longer
- Gaia bleeds
(Featuring John Gula of Turmoil)
Stand down
Manifesting a destiny
of unavoidable doom
Black wolves are gnashing at our heels
Fangs of accountability
all unforeseen or intentionally neglected?
- Happy New Year
I never want to look back again on the events of 2010.
I can't escape what's in my head. T
Here's no repentance when I've served my sentence.
The candle's burning at both ends.
Winter's cold and I'm dreading coming home,
Far from anyone I know at all.
Never felt so alone
- latch key
Look me in the eyes and tell the truth: what was going through your head?
I'd hang up the phone at times, and I'd wish that you were dead.
'Cause you were never there.
It made me think you never cared.
Growing up and it's not fair.
I'd turn around and hope to see you there, but you were nowhere to be found.
Just remember my words,
- Like You To Me
Wait... I'm feelling it again...
Wait, I'm feelling it again
Had lost touch from cut to head
'till we crossed a path and met
and I got scared just for a beat
Because I had been doing alright
without a someone in my sights
- London Heathrow
So let's take this slow,
as if I should even be one to talk.
Constantly moving on all my luck.
So fast, like a rabbit, then getting stuck.
I cannot give up.
In a briar patch I knew I would meet you
but I'm stopped, not sure it's entirely true.
- Look closer
We are intent only on our own gain.
Tune in and avert your eyes to the blank telescreen.
They're watching you sleep, telling you to eat
What could be soylent green.
Now, now, now look away and go back to bed.
They will get what they need
When we sleep, work, and play,
- Not As Bad
I came in third to everything
I need you to get here and pencil in anything
So many switches end the silence
I want to shout it out
And Resonate
A new way
All the long days
- Only Right Now
You put me up and saw good things
And took a leap on what you felt could be
A reason to get dressed up for
Someone you thought could care the same and more
But I learned this way
If you were right here next to me
I know you had to wait
If you were right here next to me
- Product of the 80's
Put me into syndication,
broadcast to a network station
of people viewing their favorite episodes.
I can't find a new pitch to throw the studios.
I need a re-run to better cast
the next series of events in the air-timeline lapse.
- Put Yo Hood Up
Out in the wild we have the dinosaurs but listen very carefully
[Random grunting]
Yeah
Yo, what's up? SYG 2008
Orlando, Moraga, Pleasent Hill, Pleasent Drive, New Found Glory, Yoda,
Calaveras House, Greenside, Century Movie Theatre "BITCH!", Obi-Wan, Light Saber,
Santa
- Raphael
Pray for me now.
My thoughts are getting too loud.
Voices shuttering.
Everybody's well-being is suffering.
Speeding up, not slowing down.
Just waiting for the crash.
When bad is good just get higher.
Observe and lose through the wire.

December 26th, '04.
Dan's dad dropping of the van for the Make Move Tour.
We're meeting up soon with The Warriors.
We're losing money and our lunches on the jeans Matt wore
To the first show. We're on the road.
May 22nd, '06.
Zoli just tried to ignite a Roman candle stick.
- The Fallen...
Get me out of here.
This isn't slowing down.
We've hit black ice and lost control.
We're spinning faster now.
Tell me are we flying? Are we falling to the ground?
If tomorrow doesn't come, did we die for nothing?
Recounting past events has helped reveal that you don't give a damn
- The Few That Remain
Come on and break down and show us who you are.
Memorable first impressions only get you far
When you stay true from beginning to end.
Flexing all your morals, your environment will bend back
As you bend crooked.
Come on and break down fake personas from your art.
I used to hang on every verse when my days would get hard.
- The Last American Virgin
I've got a date and a ticket receipt,
I've got some spending money saved and a place we can meet.
Can you think of any destination you've been dying to see?
Say the word and we'll leave.
The weather's fine, we've got plenty of time.
There's only one thing keeping me from booking a flight:
I've got to know that you mean it when you say
- This Song Is Definitely NOT About A Girl
Don't! Get! Me Wrong!
I appreciate the appreciation but don't mistake my gratitude for half-heartedness
I'm not shouting these words out for nothing now.
And I, I still feel like there's nobody listening in an empty room full of people.
I hope these walls have ears they'll be the only one that I'll ever get to.
EVERYBODY.
They all love to listen
- This Very Moment
I value you more than you will ever know!
I know I'm not the only one
concerned about where this has gone.
The feelings that we both once shared,
they still exist, they went nowhere.
And you, you know it's true.
- This Will Be The Death Of Us
I spent the end of the day thinking about the changing of our lives
The kids we were set out to play the music through the songs that gave us drive
And that was only five years ago, It was three last time we sang
About the "dead men" and the rising of a scene we wanted so bad to help make
I was ready to let me let go until I heard a shouting from you
Yeah, the very thing I had to keep me grounded when I fell through
When death comes for us...
- To Be Continued...
This time, we've got a first class motive.
We should start.
I wrote it long ago and never wrote it off.
Try and we might, don't and...
Let's take this outside
So I can make another scene.
I'll burn it on you, burn every bit of energy.
- Trenches
So much will go untold from these travels of the road.
The truth remains at rest in jars within the souls of all the lost and transient forgotten men.
There is so much that lies behind those smiling faces
And what's within would take a lifetime to tell, so be careful what you wish for.
Take my hand and see: you're falling in love with the skyline.
Nothing comes for free: can you put a price on feeling satisfied?
- Unconditional
Somebody show me the way to take the phone call that I got today.
I feel sick, I can't believe my ears.
This can't be possible, will somebody disconfirm my fears?
This can't be true.
Silence has ruined me with these secrets,
so hard to keep, so forget about them forgetting.
Not gonna be a second chance.
- With Hoffman lenses we will see the truth
Our instincts are being re-routed,
We are existing in an artificially created state of being,
The lower classes and the poor are growing,
Civil rights and racial equality are non-existent,
They have created an oppressive nation and culture,
And we have been none the wiser,
That is their primary means of prosperity:
keep us asleep, keep us greedy,
- work in progress
It's a revelation, a moment of clarity,
And I am trapped inside this moment deadlines are left to die
And I guess I am truly free.
My brain was spent I worried as I fell in knee deep
Where consequences and circumstances suffocated and I could barely breathe.
And by all means, this rain should be bringing me down.
Seattle is keeping me in tune with just right now
And a song that tends to be so oddly timed.
