Supercool 03:32
We can fly, riding high above the sky Surfing that wave, supercool level vibe We got angels, looking over our shoulders Signals wash over, sunshine supernova Not so sure just what to do, everything's so shiny and new Working on my attitude, bittersweet and supercool Divine design, changing my thoughts on time Positive microvibes, feeling so alive and just fine Wings and dreams, endorphin sunbeams Day-Glo colors now, power down and offline dreams Not so sure just what to do, certainly got nothing to prove Working on my attitude, bittersweet and supercool Yes we fly, soaring high above the sky Riding that wave, supercool level vibe We got angels, looking over our shoulders Waves wash over, sunshine supernova Pretty sure just what to do, everything's so shiny and new Fixing on my attitude, sticky sweet and supercool Woah oh oh oh oh

Accelerate 04:40
The streets have cleared, the skies have parted for me Rage of the road, has got the better of me We got no mirrors, goin down a hole And we don't care, if we come back at all It's getting late, we just can't wait There's no debate Ten steps forward, no steps back Amber light hits, like a heart attack Quickening, the race to nowhere Rush to red, blue flame fire May be too late, We cannot wait Try not to hate accelerate Smoke and fire, the clouds have parted for thee Speed to heat, energy left on the street Time is bent, a second ain't a second no more See if we can, pick ourselves up off the floor May be too late, We cannot wait Try not to hate Don't give me that look, don't give me that friction No no no

Rails 04:36
On the rails, chasing our tails Living with the chemtrails Behind the wheel, inside a box Spending all our time picking the locks Painted, into the corner Choose a color from the samples below Third rail sparking blue to white See if we can make it through another night Lights are out now Feeling our way through a maze in the dark Scream and shout now Hands on the walls as a guide to the stars Turn the corner Something big waiting up ahead Can’t see but feel it Canines’ breath on the back of our legs, hey Off the rails, born without tails Funhouse crashing, and the mirrors for sale Drifting, waiting for sharks Blood in water and it’s getting near dark Off the rails, happy trails Off road desert do the straight line crawl Pack your bag, we’re heading out Time to see what the story’s about Time is up now Working our way through a maze in the dark Turn it up now Hands on the walls and our eyes to the stars Got that spirit Feeling alive but may be dead inside Can see and feel it Grid in the sky for the end of the times Hey who ah, let’s go, hey, Come on now Don’t move so slow, no no, Push and shove Feeling the love, Laying so low Fight that gravity, Daddy O

Katie dropped an F Bomb, she's hanging out with her mom They're going out for sushi, you should a heard what she say They're felling like they're out of luck, there ain't nowhere to park the truck They're thinking that tonight will suck, and Katie's saying WTF Shh she said It's Katie's turn to bring the cake, it's looking like a big mistake Burned her finger, cut her hand, you know she's always running late Katie dropped an F Bomb, she's hanging out with your mom They're driving to the party, sheriff police got something to say Shh she said what? She's hanging with her grandma, she riding on a see saw Grandpa's in the other room, TV blaring boom boom boom She pinched her effing finger, thought no one could hear her She got a mouth that's full of soap, you know she's at the end of her rope Katie dropped an F, Katie dropped an F Bomb Katie dropped an F, Katie dropped an F Bomb Katie dropped an F, Katie dropped an F Bomb Katie dropped an F, Katie dropped an F Bomb Katie dropped an F, Katie dropped an F Bomb Katie dropped an F, Katie dropped an F Bomb Katie dropped an F, Katie dropped an F Bomb Katie dropped an F, Katie dropped an F Bomb

Bent 04:15
Bent out Tell me what it’s all about Wiped out Thinking about a world without you On the fringe Scheming on my next binge Twist crawl Wondering if it’s worth it all Freaked out Blocking it all about Down and out Wondering what this world is all about Shout down Join together stumbling all around Melt down Taking a last gasp without a sound Here we are, hang together shooting for the stars There they go, forgetting everything they used to know Bent snapped Tell us where it’s at Force it out Tell us what it’s all about Shot down Soul stealing all around Blanked out Nothing here to think or talk about Here we are, hang together shooting for the stars There they go, forgetting everything they used to know Go Bent Snapped Busted And jacked Sapped By rats Hell bent Relax

One more siren on a hot summer night, here comes the man to make things right Will he drive past or stop at my door, listen so close don’t hear no more Stare at the clock up on the wall, wondering if I’ll live through it all Breeze through the window cools the sweat on my face, one more siren drives you crazy Oh No Oh No Oh No Oh No One more siren, makes you crazy Shot in the dark Said one more siren You better watch that man So, one more siren on a Saturday night, yes it does matter if you’re black or white Stage is set for the clampdown squad, civil defense ain’t a nine to five job, no Steps in the alley, screams in the yard, next time don’t you push so hard No trouble for the blue man because he said, He was still breathing when we left him Oh No Oh No Oh No Oh No One more siren, shots in the dark Never a fine for crossing state lines Oh one more siren Is it burning again? No One more siren, Drives you crazy Shot in the dark Said one more siren You’d best watch that man

Tightrope 04:30
Well we’ve been walking on the tightrope And we don’t want to no more Said we been walking on the tightrope Soon be on the floor Don’t look to the left or right Might get scared of the height Don’t look to the left or right Said the lights are too bright The sky is falling, sky is falling First we’re walking, then we’re crawling Sky is falling, sky is falling First we’re walking, then we’re crawling Tight rope Tight rope Tight rope Well I been walking on the tightrope And I don’t want to no more I been walking on the tightrope Hard time killing floor Don’t look like you want me to But nobody can see Blinded with no safety net Do my best and just be The sky is falling, sky is falling First I’m walking, then I’m crawling Sky is falling, sky is falling First I’m walking, then I’m crawling Tight rope Tight rope Tight rope

All bad things delivered in threes? Hard rain may be coming down on me? Grind it out with blood and sweat Slip and fall on icy steps Twisted thoughts, broken bone All the socials, all the scorn Dollar store, a contact high Taking steps to fix my mind Feeling down and out of luck, close my eyes, the gears are stuck Sunday knot deep in my gut, this must be the week of suck Rain for weeks, I cannot speak Dopamine release, pretty please Rise in the dark, cannot sleep Like all the other restless sheep Switch it up and switch it out Dust it up without a doubt On your feet or on your knees Feeling pressure, feel the squeeze Feeling down so out of luck, close my eyes, the gears are stuck Sunday knot deep in my gut, this must be the week of suck Monday morning headache tuck, wish so hard, escape the rut Big old tree fell on the truck, this must be the week of suck Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, everyday Repeat, delete, grind, complete That was fun but now we’re done First world, second world, third world, go Isn’t it just one world? Gord and Peter told us so They say there is enough and that rising tides float the boats My my, hey hey, say JFK, ok Gals and guys all dead inside With pink and yellow power ties Charmed, not charming Busy day of telling lies Switch it up and switch it out Kick it up without a doubt On your hands or on your knees Feeling pressure, feel the squeeze Feeling down so out of luck, do our best to make a buck Sunday knot deep in our gut, this must be the week of suck Monday morning headache tuck, wish so hard, escape the rut Space junk fell on my truck, this must be the week of suck

Block It Out 03:49
On the road, the race to nowhere, Nowhere man sees nothing at all Put that pedal, to the metal, game of nowhere, on and on Don’t you say you got no feelings, P and V are filling you Stop to think on what you’re saying, you know what you’ve got to do, said You’ve got to block it out, stop your running about Block it out, you can do without all of the pain now Hitchhike to the sleeping giant, dig a pit and lose your hate Burn your clothes all in the fire, paint your face and find a way Tar and feather, fear and loathing, all the time consuming you Cry and lie and solve the crime to blast the shit right out and you will Block it out, stop your running about You got to block it out, you can do without all of the pain now On the road, the race to nowhere, no one hears the starting gun Checkered flag, photo finish, running in a race of one Rats and sheep and snakes and weasels, wait to try and trip you up One eye back, one eye forward, chameleon to rise above You’ve got to block it out, stop your running about You got to block it out, you can do without all of the pain now Block it out Block it out Block it out Touch the monkey, shock the monkey, toss the monkey off your back now And block it out

She got the tats, and that's where it's at But covers them up to hide her own past She speaking the truth, ain't gonna lie Nobody knows what goes on inside Gave up the smokes, occasional rope Into the weight room to keep up the tone She drinking the tea, she working on Zen Breathing so deeply and sweating again Food on the table and duty this week Sunday school teaching to make the ends meet Say it taking a village watching the street An island of Kinney's got six mouths to feed Life of distraction one day at a time Finding a way to hold on to her mind Flipping the junk for a few extra bucks Lord above knows adulting sure sucks She got the tats, and that's where it's at But covers them up to hide her own past She speaking the truth, ain't going to lie Nobody knows what goes on inside Gave up the smokes, occasional rope Into the weight room to keep up the tone She drinking the tea, she working on Zen Breathing so deeply and sweating again Here she comes, here she comes now Teaching punk rock at the Sunday school She a showing those kids just what to do Teaching punk rock at the Sunday school Making damn sure those kids ain't no fools

Waiting 06:06
Waiting, waiting Waiting Forever Waiting and waiting, Waiting forever How long do you think I'll wait? And how long can it take, to make up your mind? Waiting nothing but time Waiting and waiting losing my mind So this is my reality Guess we'll wait and see if I die in this line I'm asking you Masking you I can't do I can’t do Waiting, thinking, asking, begging Crying, waiting, hoping, dying inside How long can it take? How long can I wait? Wait in the line? Waiting Waiting for the end of time Waiting, thinking, hoping, ha Wait for something you have got Wait for things that you have not Wait for something rarely held
