some mornings i just don't wanna get out of my bed some days i just puII the cover back over my head some time it's hard to find my proper motivation to be or not to be? the king of procrastination i know the script off by heart i just don't think i'm the actor for the part it's just a waste of my time and already so much has passed the pleasures aII yours not mine so enjoy it while it lasts somebody told me: "why don't u just snap out of it?!" how "this is just our lot in life" or some other cliched buIIshit sometimes i feel like laying it out plain as day but i know if i did, i'd blow their tiny minds away 'cos i think i sussed out the game and i'm choosing not to play it's just a waste of my time and already so much has passed the pleasures aII yours not mine so enjoy it while it lasts tick, tock... i'm counting every second/minute/hour until i get away...

wedding bells every summertime u can tell you'll be hearing those wedding bells seems like everyday... take a breath before u walk up these old church steps take good stock of what's up ahead and everything left behind wedding march let the ceremony now start watch the union of two sweethearts and a meeting of minds wedding vows too late, there's no escape route now unless your planning on running out and ruining everyone's day (no way!) and if u say that u do - u better mean it and if u swear to be true - u better keep it and if u promise, u fool, u best believe it's for forever share the wealth bound in sickness and bound in health throw it all in the wishing well cross your fingers and pray now everyone is looking happy and really drunk they've been drinking since the day begun it's just one of those days wedding night throw the bouquet and off u drive though the wedding dress wasn't white it's time to consummate (great!) wedding guests all disperse in a noisy mess in the knowledge it's safe to bet next year they'll do it again (for another friend) and if u say that u do - u better mean it and if u swear to be true - u better keep it and if u promise, u fool, u best believe it's for forever well if u say that u do - u better mean it if u swear to be true - u better keep it if u promise, u fool, u best believe it's for forever (for forever)

Grow Up 05:18
lyrics

("what do u want to be when u grow up?") do u remember when we used to rock? do u remember when we never used to watch the clock? do u remember when we used to have fun? or was it all a side effect of the drugs? well if so then we'd better get high and see if we can't find a good time... what say we get real drunk and take a tonne of drugs and never ever grow up? oh no i'll never ever grow up i'll never sell out i'd rather die young and leave a good looking corpse (responsibility sounds like a punishment to me) do u remember when we used to be cool? do u remember when good music wasn't called 'old school'? do u remember when the future looked bright? or did we all meet up in a previous life? well, if so i'm thinking this life sucks but i'm so tired of giving a fuck "hey, me from the past! this is me from the future with some good advice so please take it! get it while u can cos it's downhill from here there's so little time left so don't waste it!" what say we get some drugs and get a bit fucked up and never ever grow up? no never ever grow up oh no i'll never ever grow up i'll never sell out i'd rather die young and leave a good looking corpse until the fucking grim reaper or the men in the white coats! i'll never grow up! i promise (u) i swear that (i) i'll never grow up

well there must be more to life than being than being a savage well there must be more to life than being sad well there must be more to life than the same routine everyday must be more to life than going mad well there must be more to life than being than chasing money well there must be more to life than getting pissed well there must be more to life than eating pussy well there must be something more to life that we all missed cos it feels like someone's taking the piss! chorus: well for once i want to try be and be a little bit smarter well i could always be a little kinder too well if for once i could Iive up to want i want from others then i could stop hating me and start loving u for once i want to rise above my animal instinct but even more than than that i want to fight my fear well if for once i could just get my shit together then i could give u one good reason i'm here... (so listen closely u hear...) hook: well there must be more to life than this must be more to life well there's got be more to life than this eat - sleep - work - fuck - die! well there's got to be more to life than this Darwin shit more purpose to our existence than fear fear or failure, fear of strangers, fear of being fucking poor well i'm telling u now, there's just got to be more! more to life than what's on tv more to life than getting high much more to life than working every waking hour more to life than fucking living a lie (must be more to life than this there must be more to life than this) chorus (or is this all there is?) hook well there must be more to life than this Darwin shit more purpose to my existence than a big ball of mud more then war and pain and fucking suffering more than all this fighting about god! well there must be must be more to life than empty promises much more than broken dreams well there must be more to life than negative energy so much more than what this shitty world seems (must be more to life than this there must be more to life than this) chorus (or is this all there is?) more to life more to life more to life there must be must be more to life... hook i'm searching for meaning...

The Answer(s) 05:09
lyrics
buy track
it's like i'm standing on the edge of an epiphany if i could only see what's right in front of me as if some massive revelation is ahead of me yet to be said to me, just lingering to of reach that's why i keep on pushing on and on one time a trip to a museum did reveal to me the many things to see when someone's mind is free other dimensions in the spectrum revealed visibly so far beyond 3d, between the pink and green i see... somewhere up ahead there must be an answer somewhere up ahead there's a clue somewhere up ahead there must be all the answers on this long hard road to the truth that's why i keep on pushing on and on until i reach the end of the line in every line and wrinkle on your face as u get old impressionistic code for stories never told just as the climate and environment you're exposed to sets a prevailing mood, brings something out of u. (that's why i keep on pushing on and on) it's true... (the truth will come to u - will show itself to u) if all the pieces of the puzzle come to fit in time keeping together is the best that u can do... somewhere up ahead there must be an answer somewhere up ahead is a clue somewhere up ahead there must be all the answers on this long hard road to the truth that's why i keep on pushing on and on until i reach the end of the line i keep on pushing now i keep on pushing! somewhere up ahead there must be an answer somewhere up ahead is the truth well i just keep on pushing on and on yeah i keep on pushing on and on until i reach the end of the line

Life Here On Earth 02:18
lyrics

your life here on earth from tiny sperm to food for worms from the womb to the grave love and hate joy and pain from the moment you're born you're one step closer to the day u die but if the concept of time doesn't run in a straight line and if perception is based on reception of a limited range then the concept of life must be wider than your line of sight your life here on earth from tiny sperm to food for worms from the womb to the grave joy and pain love and hate so many would claim that there's no escape from a fate we don't make when Boethius agrees with Snoop Dogg we should all take heed if molecular state is in constant flux in the subtlest ways then vibrations will change affecting everything within their range vibrate create elevate/emanate resonate make your fate
