You know it’s always gonna rain Yes it’s always gonna rain Whatever you do, it’s always the same There’s a storm coming down Are we in the eye or in the clouds? Who can say, but it’s going to rain. What did you say? Are you feeling ok? What did you say? Are you feeling ok? You know the world is gonna change Yes the world is gonna change But not tomorrow, and not today You’ve got to burn it down Only the smoke can pierce the cloud What did you say? Are you feeling ok? What did you say? Are you feeling ok? What did you say? Are you feeling ok? Isn’t it weird that we were even born into this place? Can we ever really change, Can we ever really change, Are we doomed to remain the same? Does it even matter at all? Does it even matter at all? The galaxy is large, and we’re so small. What did you say? Are you feeling ok? What did you say? Are you feeling ok? Isn’t it weird that we were even born into this place? Isn’t it weird that we can even kill in his name? Isn’t it weird that we were even born into this place? Isn’t it weird that we can even kill in his name?

Another Show 04:12
Another show Going alone Did you hear It’s supposed to snow Another show Where’s your phone? Did the drummer Bring his throne? Another show At your home Did you ever think A venue you’d own? Another show The music stopped The neighbors swore They’d call the cops Another show No one came Your facebook event Seemed kind of lame. Another show You’re out of tune You’re 20 minutes Can’t end too soon Another show You’re kind of drunk Using booze to Cure you’re funk. Another show, is this the end Could you get 20 bucks for a friend? You know Seeds were sown So long ago But just Another You know Seeds were sown So long ago But just Another Show Another show, Do you care? The other band needs to use your snare Another show you gotta go Will it happen again, I don’t know You know Seeds were sown So long ago But just Another You know Seeds were sown So long ago But just Another Show You know Seeds were sown So long ago But just Another You know Seeds were sown So long ago But just Another Show

She’s got A divine fate Your mortal concerns Will have to wait. Waiting..waiting..waiting..waiting For years he slumbered But gazed at the stars Mortals can never know What they really are Waiting..waiting..waiting..waiting Waiting on my time Planets they will align Call of the divine In my shade the sun will shine He always predicted That there would come a time He would take action But never before write a single line Waiting..waiting..waiting..waiting Waiting on my time Planets they will align Call of the divine In my shade the sun will shine So now it seems that Your day may have come Will you finally change the world Or did you just think we were kinda dumb. Waiting..waiting..waiting..waiting Waiting on my time Planets they will align Call of the divine In my shade the sun will shine

Relatable 02:10
In the basement, private screening For the gods, you’ve been feeding Still one word in your head Ree---late---able In your head a maroon call But to the past you must not fall Try to withhold the Duke’s name Ree---late---able Words you try to scribble down Echoed from another’s sound Honor your hidden taste Ree---late---able Cast away your ambition As you pursue your mission Who it’s for, doesn’t matter Ree---late---able Have you tried to change your ways Or have these been more wasted days Will your plan ever come to pass Ree---late---able I’ve heard the world may end at last Your final plans, do them fast What do you have to say? Ree---late---able

Lookin back on who you used to be Really hoping that, the cycle won’t repeat Yet here you are, once again Trying not to laugh, cause you know the end Lookin around, to see who’s still alive It can’t be the same, but I’m glad you survived Everyone’s broken, it’s just how much you know Just drink it down, don’t let it show Comforts me Triviality Comforts me Triviality Distract yourself, from whats goin on Find an endless pursuit, or another song Accept what, can never change Know you’ll never be the same Comforts me Triviality Comforts me Triviality

Hey Stranger 03:10
Hey Stranger Can you tell me which way to go? Kinda felt like I was in the right Hope to god I’m not saying that my whole life. Hey Neighbor Whatcha been doin all this time? When you searched for god what did you find? Please don’t tell me there’s proof of intelligent design Cause We Can’t Tell Truth From all the lies What do you use to justify Instead of seeing the truth in front of your eyes Hey Savior Where’ve you been all this time? People look at me like i’ve lost my mind Please validate and give me a sign Hey Stranger What did you do with your life? Please tell me you’re happier than before Please say it doesn’t hurt anymore. Cause We Can’t Tell Truth From all the lies What do you use to justify Instead of seeing the truth in front of your eyes

Doing things that you never thought you would Covering bands you didn’t think were good Has the world gone crazy, have you lost your mind? Or could it be that you got it wrong all of this time? You thought if you ever had the cover the boss that you just might die But could it be that you just had to try? Maybe Dave, wrote a good song It’s way harder to fight than it is to sing along Cause I don’t know (i don’t know) Not fo show (not fo show) My ignorance (my ignorance) Is all I hold A recovering music snob you know that it’s true And i hope to god you don’t think I’m talking to you Lookin back on what I had to lose What was I trying so damn hard to prove? Cause I don’t know (i don’t know) Not fo show (not fo show) My ignorance (my ignorance) Is all I hold Doing things that you never thought you could Hoping to be the person you always thought you should Are we ever truly capable of change? Or are we forever doomed to remain the same? Cause I don’t know (i don’t know) Not fo show (not fo show) My ignorance (my ignorance) Is all I hold

You’re bundled up down at the shore Your dad’s tool shop ain’t here no more The vacationers have all gone home But you’re at the boardwalk alone Cause you’re the Skee-Ball Man The Skee-Ball Man Just want to feel those tickets in your hands Back when the Sopranos still filmed here And them kids didn’t drink that fancy beer You loved a girl and she loved you There wasn’t nothing that you wouldn’t do Cause you’re the Skee-Ball Man The Skee-Ball Man Just want to feel those tickets in your hands You’re the Garden State’s Shining Knight No matter how you try You can’t run away tonight Cause you’re the Skee-Ball Man The Skee-Ball Man Just want to feel those tickets in your hands You’re the Garden State’s Shining Knight No matter how you try You can’t run away tonight You end your job somewhere around 5 Then you start again at 9 When you’re playing Skee-Ball No one can see you cry And no matter what you do you can’t run away tonight
