Lyrics: |-
The conclusion that this journey
Has me hurdling toward
Is terrifying
The confusion that we're feeling
When we're not feeling bored
Is worse than dying
If the river has a course
It's been dammed, it's been dammed
If the journey has an ending
It's a sham, it's a sham
I don't know a way out
But you know what I have?
I HAVE A PLAN
The redundancy of dreaming
When we're living awake
Has got me crying
The abundancy of scheming
That we just throw away
It ain't worth trying
But the one that lingers on
Carries through, carries through
I can feel it on me tongue
Where are you? Where are you?
Well, this could be the one
So I guess I always knew
I HAVE A PLAN
Reading the words behind my eyes
Guided by promises, some future prize
Giving control to what you hear
Behind your ears, behind your ears
The wind that has been whipping
Has been changing the way
The birds are flying
The direction that we're taking
We've been faking to the point
Of just denying
Well, we're early in the stream
Let it flow, let it flow
If you're clinging to a dream
Let it go, let it go
For the one that follows you
You will know, you will know
I HAVE A PLAN

Lyrics: |-
The HUSH that FELL stopped them cold
Upon these streets where dreams are sold
Cheap cologne, cheaper thrills
Served on ice, slightly chilled
Strangers passing by
Met each other's eyes
Looks they thought they'd owned
Made their secrets known
To the HUSH
The HUSH that FELL
FELL on us
The lies we tell
To the HUSH
The HUSH that blows
On all of us
The ones who know
The HUSH that FELL shook the trees
Old receipts blew in the breeze
Paper nights, plastic days
Earth stood still, red with haze
Lovers lost their grasp
Losers would not ask
Nothing could be said
All just hung their heads
To the HUSH
The HUSH that FELL
FELL on us
The lies we tell
To the HUSH
The HUSH that blows
On all of us
The ones who know

Lyrics: |-
All I wanna do is synchronize with you, babe
All I wanna do is synchronize with you
All I wanna do is synchronize with you, babe
All I wanna do is synchronize with you
All I wanna do is synchronize
See the look of terror in your eyes
At the moment when you sympathize with me
All we ever do is fantasize
About the life that you've romanticized
Well, the lonely nights are no surprise to me
All I ever do is simulate with you, babe
All I ever do is simulate with you
All I ever do is simulate with you, babe
All I ever do is simulate with you
All I ever do is simulate
All the moments that we could create
When you're acting like you don't relate to me
All I wanna do is stimulate
All the feelings we could consummate
If you'd let your heart negotiate with me
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do is synchronize with you, babe
All I wanna do is synchronize with you
All I wanna do is synchronize with you, babe
All I wanna do is synchronize with you
Synchronize
Synchronize
Synchronize
Synchronize
Synchronize
All I wanna do is synchronize
See the look of terror in your eyes
At the moment when you sympathize with me
All we ever do is fantasize
About the life that you've romanticized
Well, the lonely nights are no surprise to me
All I ever do is simulate
All the moments that we could create
When you're acting like you don't relate to me
All I wanna do is stimulate
All the feelings we could consummate
If you'd let your heart negotiate with me
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do

All I wanna do

Lyrics: |-
Just a word to the black-and-white
Hungry for the latest fight
When you draw lines in the sand
Take a look at where you stand
Tough talk (bad words)
Rough talk (mad nerds)
I'm not somebody's sheep to herd
What we are is who we hate
Who we castigate for all the rest of time
Little children, it would kill them
If they knew what we were doing to their minds
What we're for is fighting wars
Filled with anger we did not choose to receive
Some will fight, some will fall
How can anybody choose what they believe?
Just a word to the loud as hell
Are you buying what you sell?
No one has to join your side
The world is more than just your TRIBE
No flags (no signs)
No names (no lines)
No nation lasts for all of time
What we are is who we hate
Who we castigate for all the rest of time
Little children, it would kill them
If they knew what we were doing to their minds
What we're for is fighting wars
Filled with anger we did not choose to receive
Some will fight, some will fall
How can anybody choose what they believe?

Lyrics: |-
This is no debate
This is no apology
Things fall apart, you know
We can't fool the energy
Is it push or pull
Or is it spaces in between?
Everything must come and go
With forces we can't see
Nothing that we have we're keeping
Every star is always creeping
Pulled apart by cosmic forces
Isotopes in long divorces
This was always bound to happen
You can go down crying or laughing
At least you're not the only one
Don't be insecure
Something else has moved the stars
Every light that's guiding us
SHIFTS RED and gets far
Someday we may know
But then we might be dead by then
What good is knowing, anyway?
We can't get it back again
Everything we have is borrowed
Past and present and tomorrow
All of what we are, we're losing
Nothing much is ours for choosing
Give back to what you're given
And as long as you're still living
You'll know you're not the only one

Lyrics: |-
I'm feeling shaken by the changes at this stage
Though I can't count to it, I know I have an age
Don't make me think of it, I'm writing on my page
Don't take my toys away or I'll go blind with RAGE
Blind with RAGE
I'll run my fingers 'round through any woman's hair
I'll steal anything that I've been told to share
I'll scream that word I know if I can't leave my chair
I know just what I want and when it isn't there
Isn't there
Blind with RAGE now
Rip my page now
Lose composure
Curse the air
Blind with RAGE now
Act your age now
I'm exposed, yeah
Blind with RAGE
I am not listening to that speech you have rehearsed
I have my own agenda to attend to first
You're just another stranger I will soon disperse
Please love me at my best, for you will know my worst
Know my worst

Lyrics: |-
Wide awake in the dead of night
Hung up on a losing fight
This debate has lost its sight
No moves left, WRONG or RIGHT
WRONG or RIGHT, what's said is said
WRONG or RIGHT, my hands are red
WRONG or RIGHT, I am not ashamed
WRONG or RIGHT, to endure this game
Why'd you got to be so cruel?
I'm just trying to play it cool
I feel like such a fool
When you're looking through me
Why'd you got to play so rough?
Haven't I been hurt enough?
You wouldn't act so tough
When I'm looking through you
Don't act like you're so surprised
I'm not afraid to meet your eyes
Don't tell me I'm too uptight
I'll face you, WRONG or RIGHT
WRONG or RIGHT, this is who I am
WRONG or RIGHT, this is where we stand
WRONG or RIGHT, you'll know my face
WRONG or RIGHT, you'll learn your place
WRONG or RIGHT, what's said is said
WRONG or RIGHT, my hands are red
WRONG or RIGHT, I am not ashamed
WRONG or RIGHT, to endure this game
Why'd you got to be so cruel?
I'm just trying to play it cool
I feel like such a fool
When you're looking through me
Why'd you got to play so rough?
Haven't I been hurt enough?
You wouldn't act so tough
When I'm looking through you

Lyrics: |-
Hear it now, what is spoken
WORDS are hanging in the air
Take control, feel what's happening
Speak to only what is there
I am changed in my purpose
Set in motion, come unlocked
I am found in this ocean
Of vibrations, learned to TALK
To the WORDS
All my life, I've known the WORDS
But never knew the way to really use them
Speak to only what you've heard
The WORDS are there, and you are passing through them
Was this here? Was this always?
I was certain, I was wrong
Now so clear, definitions
Plainly written all along
Ebbs and flows so resounding
Waves are pounding in my ears
I can feel what you're proving
I am moving, I can hear
All the WORDS
All my life, I've known the WORDS
But never knew the way to really use them
Speak to only what you've heard
The WORDS are there, and you are passing through them
Kid myself I had control
But I was part of something whole
Or broken, how I let it get away
Talking like I'm in a mirror
I would have to learn to hear
Or nothing would be there for me to say
What could I say? (TALK)
What could I say? (TALK)
What could I say? (TALK)
What could I say?
Say it now, there's your answer
In the questions you have asked
Listen close, know you're welcome
Let these moments truly last
This is more than an echo
This is feeling, this is touch
Use your voice, make it clear now.
You are here, now fall into hush

Lyrics: |-
Movement in the dark
Stationary sky
Shadows in the park
Formless in the night
Breathing in your ears
Whispers in the brush
Nothing there to hear
You against the HUSH
Oooh, fall in the HUSH
Oooh, fall in the HUSH
Oooh, fall in the HUSH
Oooh, fall in the HUSH
Further down the road
Nameless as a babe
Lost within the cold
Aimless as a grave
Ears could not relate
Eyes would not adjust
Creatures of the day
All fell into HUSH
Oooh, fall in the HUSH
Oooh, fall in the HUSH
Oooh, fall in the HUSH
Oooh, fall in the HUSH

Lyrics: |-
CHAMELEON, I, masked, advance
changing my shape at every chance
Lost in the truth of who we were
Once long ago
Radiant skies turned to ash
Turbulent highs burn and crash
Living our lives on borrowed cash
Once long ago
This is this, the lips we kiss
Are worn as red cocoons
Hats and wigs and Meyers-Briggs
Like phases of the moon
There was a time, once I knew
Sent from divine, I was new
I put you on, you wore me too
Once long ago
Into the blue, out of sight
What we perceive, wrong and right
All fades together in the night
Once long ago
The costume rips. The skin unzips
We leave behind the lie
Let it be, what once was me
CHAMELEON am I
