Expansion

You can run and you can hide but you won't get ahead
Cuz if you're a coward, you're already dead
So take a chance, stand up, treat life like a dare
if you're following the crowd
they won't take you anywhere - stand out!
Somebody lied to me
Somebody died for me
Someone to try me
Some of the time
Somebody lied to me
Somebody died for me
Someone to try me
Some other time
You will have a hell of a time trying to get out alive
You will spill the demon seed inside a blushing bride
You will eat the apple, you will realize the lies
And the mind games they play
With the people and their lives
You will seek the opposite perspective every time
You will speak, speak your peace
Speak your heart and mind
You won't believe everything the papers say
Or some ancient scriptures that belong to yesterday
Somebody lied to me
Somebody died for me
Someone to try me
Some of the time
Somebody lied to me
Somebody died for me
Someone to try me
Some other time
Expansion is a state of mind
You can close yourself up, you can make yourself blind
Or you can throw all that shit away
And start living your life like it's a new day
Expand your heart and expand your mind
Expand your vision beyond confines
Don't let anybody close you up inside
Your mind is is bigger than the sky!
Somebody lied to me
Somebody died for me
Someone to try me
Some of the time
Somebody lied to me
Somebody died for me
Someone to try me
Some other time

Away In A Cave
03:05
|

hanging around like a vampire bat, upside down
I twist in the wind, my feelings turned inside out
away in a cave, nobody comes around
lost in the dark, the emptiness surrounds
deep in the underground
feels like home to me
every time I make a sound
it echoes all around
don't get lost if you come to visit me
cuz down in the ground, it's very hard to see
away in a cave, beneath everything
miles away, no one can hear you sing
deep in the underground
feels like home to me
every time I make a sound
it echoes all around
hanging around like a stalagmite, upside down
the reject creatures keep me company under ground
the spiders might crawl all across my wall
the blind white fish, the albino mice and all
deep in the underground
feels like home to me
every time I make a sound
it echoes all around

Extra Baggage

Extra Baggage, it does nothing but weigh you down
Extra baggage, wrap your head around that
Tie your thoughts in a sack
And leave 'em there on the ground
There's a suitcase of memories I've kept around for years
Feel the joy of letting go that bag of useless fears
and...
Extra Baggage, it does nothing but weigh you down
Extra baggage, wrap your head around that
Tie your thoughts in a sack
And leave 'em there on the ground
There's a secret footlocker where I keep my regrets
I'll dig a hole and dig it deep and lay that shit to rest
and all my...
Extra Baggage, it does nothing but weigh you down
Extra Baggage, it does nothing but weigh you down
Extra baggage, wrap your head around that
Tie your thoughts in a sack
And leave 'em there on the ground
There's an old sack in the back of my mind
Where you'll find all kinds of doubt
It's about time I leave it behind
And make room for something else
no more...
Extra Baggage, it does nothing but weigh you down
Extra baggage, wrap your head around that
Tie your thoughts in a sack
And leave 'em there on the ground
ooh ahh...

ACROBATS
Acrobats reverse the order
Acrobats turn it inside out
Acrobats are hanging upside down
Switch positions with magicians
Politicians lose their clout
Change will never come
If you do what you’ve always done
Turn it around, flip it upside down
Acrobats, twisting, falling
New ideas start to grow
Acrobats contort the status quo
Other aspects manifested
Unexpected reversal
Things will never change
If you do everything the same
Turn it around, flip it upside down
Acrobats, entertainers
Change the destiny you seek
Acrobats will turn the strong to meek
Switch positions of tradition
We won’t turn the other cheek
Watch out all you clowns
When the circus comes to town
Turn it around, flip it upside down

Put Down Your Phone

Put down that phone and talk to me
Can't you see that I'm more fun to speak to?
Don't You wanna make a connection?
Put down your phone and talk to me
ROCK!
Put down that phone and look at me
Can't you see my face is more important?
Look me in the eyes, make a connection
Put down that phone and look at me
ROCK!
Put down that phone and watch the road
Don't you wanna know where you're going?
So grab the wheel and pay attention
Put down that phone and watch the road
WATCH OUT!

All Coming Down
03:47
|

How many times do you tell yourself somethings gonna come
Does it mater anymore?
Where will you find yourself in final times,
When the war has come?
Do you know where the line is drawn?
Super Sunday never ever comes around
Everybody wishes that they’d shaken off the shroud
I’m sorry Lucifer if I’m too loud
but it’s all coming down to the end
Stand in the line of fire and feel yourself disintigrate
It doesn’t matter anymore
Your skinsuit will decay, and that’s our fate, that death awaits
It stands before us like a door
Superman is just too old to save the day
He wouldn’t help you cuz you’re evil anyway
I’m sorry Jesus, there’s no time to pray
Cuz it’s all coming down to the end
Walk through the valley, the shadows creep
But they don’t make a sound
But your thoughts are pounding loud
Darkness surrounds you, but there’s a light aglow afar
You set out to find the star
Superhumans can have primates as their pets
Offspring from the aliens take humans to the vet
That hound dog hasn’t caught that rabbit yet
And it’s all coming down to the end
Super Sunday never ever comes around
Everybody wishes that they’d shaken off the shroud
I’m sorry Lucifer if I’m too loud
but it’s all coming down to the end
It’s all coming down to the end…
