Happens for a Reason

My dad says I think too much
My brother says I'm too honest
My mother says the way I speak
Makes other people angry
I am how I want to be
You are how you want to be
And I can't go around making excuses
Cause I'm getting tired
And I need a hand
Let it go
Speak your mind
Never let another soul
Tell you what or how you have to be
Let it go
My dad says
Everything happens for a reason
But I'm not sure
He knows what that means
And I can't go around making excuses
For everything you say
That don't make sense
Speak your mind
Don't ever let another soul
Tell you what or how you have to be

Nothing to Close

On my front porch
A lizard waits for flies
A bird in a tree
Waits for me
On my front yard
Its open wide
Nothing closes
There's nothing to close
Indiana
Is my dog
All the cats here
Sleep like logs
We can talk things over
We can understand
How things got here
Where we stand

Execution
In your hands
The solution
Is in your hands
Your crimes
Are mine
Only if I
Except them
Running fast and free
I'm gonna make it
Under the canopy
Over the underbrush
Waiting
For an answer
That you
Already know
They've already
Told you
Everything
You need to know

Soft Touch
04:06

Who is encumbered
By all your dreams and nightmares
All of your slumber
Who is encumbered
You dream
And you drink
You dream
You're a Sphinx
This is my body
This is my blood
You'll always be hungry
You'll never be loved
You just eat
You consume
You just sleep
You presume
Its The soft touch
Of the TV screen
The soft touch
What does it mean?
What does it make you think?
What does it make you drink?
The soft touch
Is in your home
The soft touch
Keeping you alone
You've heard it all here before
The laugh track calling you a bore

I Love You
03:21

You think I know what I want
You think I know where I'm going
You think I don't give a damn but I do
I love you
And I wish that that changed everything
But it don't fix a thing
All of the kings men
All attempt to mend
All of my sins
Won't let me put it back together again
I love you
I wish that that changed everything
But it don't fix a thing
You think I know what I want
You think I know what where I'm going
You think I don't give a damn
About you… Well You're wrong
You said some thing you didn't mean
You said some things you didn't mean
I did some things I can't take back
You did some things you didn't mean
I love you

It’s all for your convenience
It’s all to improve your standard of living
and how you could live without us we’ll never know
Now if you could just sign on the doted line
And agree
To our terms and conditions
Now you’re free
Within our terms and conditions
We’re all hiding behind culture
and our houses and the shapes of our clothing
Is it all one big game we play?
Here is the church
and here is the steeple
It’s all empty stone
Without all the people
My heart was made in China
By someone reluctantly doing time
My heart was made in China
but I was born in blood
In North Eastern Florida
I'm listening to the state radio
I'm listening to the National Public Radio

Solomon

Solomon said now
Follow your own path
Smell the roses
Follow the signs of the time
Torment of the mind
They line up just to pay the cost
Entertainment for the lost
All of the people got no where to go
Solomon, Oh your temples gone
All but left to ruin
But not your empire
Kingdom come, Oh your will be done
We will over come
But not your empire
Keep your eye
Keep your eyes open
Don't you fall asleep
Perchance that you might dream
No matter what it seems
Illusions have no power
Illusions have no will
Except that which you give them of yourself
Solomon, Oh your temples gone
All but left to ruin
But not your empire
Kingdom come, Oh your will be done
We will over come
But not your empire

Have It
04:28

It's here
What you wanted
Grab it
It's here
What'd you want?
Anyway
Look around and see
What it looks like to have it
Look around and see
What it looks like
This is all we have
Look around
I reject
Every word you've spoken
Over me
I reject
That your words have power
Over me
I reject
That there is a thing called
Authority
And I reject
That you have it
Over me
Over me

Shapes and Patterns

Shapes and patterns
Connect the streams
Flow to the future
This is our dream
Flag at half mast
Beliefs unfurled
Abandoned priest class
Beliefs restored
And the power
In the blood
Is your blood
And the shapes
And patterns
Fade away
Shapes and patterns
Perspectives clear
Meaning in matter
Matters here
Step out of line
We're never going back
Step out of time
History off your back
Off our backs
We got off
We got off
We got off
We got back to it
We got back to it
We got home
We got back
To the track
Where we started from
Where we all came from
We got stoned
And all the things we think we want
Were never really there at all
Cause once you have them in your hands
You've changed
And they've changed
And now you both are something else

We Are Wizards
05:10

We are wizards
Every single one
All our words and wisdom
A ray of energy moving on
We shape the world by seeing,
Our brain with every thought,
Our actions cast in stone
Long before (and after) done
Monuments in sand and stone
Were thoughts in someones dreaming head
What monuments will we leave behind?
What thoughts will we put in dreaming heads?
We can change
The things that are not real
From fictions in our head
To vibrant flesh and blood
And we can shape our selves
Until we die
The math of our progression
Is written in the cold, black sky
You can peal back this clockwork
Through the layers of control
To the center of your soul
To the answer you can hear a thousand times
And still ask a thousand one
That you are the sun
You are the sum
Everything you are
Is everything I am
We never needed all the love
Of everyone that we'll never know
We only needed to love who we are
