Automation 02:56
Who knew it was real? I never thought it counted much 'til now, somehow 'Cause it's always been the same Do we really have to change? It's always been the same So stack them up 'til they're perfect Predictable's always worth it [chorus] You better step outside and guess the season Check your pulse, are you breathin'? You're breathin' Safe from automation We're moving Walk until your feet give up Yeah, that's the stuff Get up! Or you'll always be the same I don't think you really want to change You'll always be the same [chorus] Every day I think what I wanted to think Every day I speak what I wanted to speak Every day I do what I wanted to do And every night I wish I had a different view Every day I loop inside Not sure if this counts as being alive Unaware the timer's started Step outside Guess the season Check your pulse Are you breathin'? [chorus] I'm safe from automation

I've been waiting for the prize Smack me in the face Knock me out of place Prove that I'm the winner Yeah, I'm the winner I almost forgot As I sit here and rot I'm just one more trying to make it up [chorus] Look out below We're dropping vertigo Straight to the top They're trying to spin us off Look out below We're gonna be the first to go Break inside, now we're set for our lives I've been gazing Through summer skies Grounded by the fear Freedoms disappear I'm on my back I'm just waiting for my luck to snap in half I almost forgot As I sit here and rot I'm just one more trying to make it up [chorus]

No Natural 03:22
It's all a ruse You're getting used Why do I change my life for this? Why give it? Why give it all? When it's a bunch of nothin' Now the lights are gone And we were wrong Save it for those who need the light Save it for those who feel alive Explore inside to realize I explode inside to realize [chorus] You're no natural Get back in place, man You're no natural Make up a new plan You're no natural I pick myself off the road Now which way to go? Why did I trade my life for this? Who changed the plan? Control-freakin' again I just don't understand I'm so confused Explore inside to reignite I explode inside to realize [chorus]

El Capitan 03:43
Oh what a figure! You cut through ice with just a piece of the curve I'm steady on the trigger But now I can't recall the sequence of words And with a one-two step I conjure what's left I'm near enough to only be heard And with a shallow breath I aim for who's left Maybe it's you that I crash into [chorus] One shot is going wrong I'm having trouble breathing Tomorrow's a goner Can't wait any longer Black out she lights up the room Dropped down right beside her But I'm carried by the clouds of perfume Back to the base camp--face plant But my nights are never over this soon And then a sugar glance has got me entranced My nerves are coming back to the herd And with a secret grin I know that I'm in This time it's you that I crash into [chorus] And just like that like she changed the whole track And floated to my side of the world We hit it off like that and never looked back This time it's you that I crash into [chorus]

I wish them well, all of the people who fell And never took a bet for their whole lives A fairy tale that cast a spell of murky eyes Play it safe enough to make it just pass by Away we go, today we go We're marching straight up to the sky And so we go, today we know We've done enough just to get by [chorus] All that we need is just to break free I wanted to let you see (do you see?) All that we need is just to break free Before you believe we're just pretending It's make believe or is it hard to see? We bleed on the inside And we fear the night but then we shut out the lights Then it comes when we realize Away we go, today we go We throw our hands up to the sky And so we go, today we know We're close enough, time to choose sides [chorus] Just close your eyes You'll wake up when it hits you Just to break free All that we need You'll wake up when it hits you [chorus]

Anonymous 03:20
If I don't catch you now, I won't get you later Let's get together now and not think about later Let's get together now and we'll deal with it later Is she just a dream? I'm stepping back 'cause that's what it seems Is she there for real? It's only real when you can feel [chorus] Whoah-oh Kick me if I'm dreaming Stick me if my vision lies Whoah-oh Can't say your name Or what became If I don't get you now, will I regret it later? If I don't get you now, will I regret you later? Let's get together now and not think about later Let's get together now and we'll deal with it later Is she just a dream? I'm stepping back 'cause that's what it seems Is she there for real? It's only real when you can feel [chorus]

We don't have much time together, so lay back, lay back The clock's never gonna slow down, so relax, relax We're still tied in our endeavor, but that won't make up We can't stay like this forever, looks like we're stuck Our minds are made up to change the world [chorus] Is this exactly what you wanted? Is this actually what's needed? And so I won't try and you won't cry I think it's actually what you wanted It's exactly what's needed And so I won't try, we won't try Gimme, gimme an attention bender, 'cause I'd hate to crack Find a song to surrender, I can't, I can't When did all of this configure? 'Cause we need a patch You already mis-delivered, can't we go back? Our minds are made up to change the world [chorus] Chase, chase the hands around I'm gonna catch 'em someday The angel of angles unwinds a quicker way Never slowed down You never unwound [chorus]

We don't drink water We just eat sand This way's much harder Than what we planned So why's it that we're starting again? What'll be much better? [chorus] Giving it another try Maybe this time Let's have another go Let's get some stars to align And then we'll see that in time Sense ovation's thunder Another showtime And another crowd We'll put on faces To keep our conscience proud So line up who's excited again What'll be much better? [chorus] Sing it once again We're singing once again [chorus]

Almost Over 02:58
Today's the day our little picnic ends I'll tell her myself just as soon as she's in I've got cue cards in hand And I'm ready to make a stand This time I mean it [chorus] Then she came in those knee-highs Double-dipped in her love She never ever heard that we're breaking up Before she threw me back down Tonight's the night our little love cruise lands She'll see it herself, I'll stay firm, never bend Don't play to the man You can't shake me from my plan This time I mean it [chorus] Does she know exactly what I'm trying to do? This bait and switch entangling me and you Have we expired? Are we going somewhere? It's almost over, lady We're almost over... maybe It's getting older, we're almost over, baby [chorus]
