Feeling Good 03:19
Sold all my treasures for gold. bought a wooden house on the waters edge. i was sailing up the river. i was sailing down the river. feeling good. Time was off eating itself. two thirds of the way there, just a touch of grey hair. I was staring at the water, I was staring at the water feeling good. Riverboat captain, I forgot to ask your name when I was a little boy. I was proud to meet you then. I was proud to meet you then. Feeling good.

the knob to the left controls the east and the west the switch to the right controls the day and the night but the radio broke a button below controls how much you go a lever above lift it all the way up to go flying around I was once an airplane over the ocean stuck between blue and blue over the ocean when the radio broke

I made a box in the road - you know I mean well what will you do with the box in the road - you know i mean well early - morning - i came - through the window to watch - the sky - turn blue I guess we were just facing off - facing off on our demons (demons) I made a box in the road - you know I mean well what will you do when you open the box in the road - you know I mean well I guess we were just facing off - facing off on our demons (demons)

Pomegranate 03:15
There once was a hero, but he flew away from here last night. But I don't mind to see him go, i don't mind 'cause he had too much blood on his hands to tell what was wrong from what was right. There once was a hero, but he couldn't handle it i'm told. But I don't mind to see him go, i don't mind 'cause he had too much blood on his hands to tell what was wrong from what was right. There once was a hero. There once was a hero.

In Transit 03:30
Do you want to use the machine, or do you want the machine to use you? Stay with me, I'm your light. Yesterday is just the weight of a life you can't outweigh. to be un-afraid in a way, does the energy you feel without me compare? Could it be that the emptiness you were afraid of doesn't exist, if you stay with me. I'm your light.

Helsinki 04:18
Lamb on the run : Helsinki. Jumping the gun, it hits me. It took me by surprise to leave here that way : the tied behind the back way. Jumping the gun. Back where I'm from, out yonder. I roam around and ponder. But I won't be by to have it that way. I'd like to have it that way. Lamb on the run. Some you win, some you lose. But don't let it get you down : don't blot out the sun, lamb on the run. Thunder claps for the dead : Mission accomplished. Lightning : a flash through the eyes. Lets all the passersby know their alive, with that flash through the eyes.

Breathe 07:55
Well I can barely breathe but I'm still climbing and I say even if it does take away from us, I've got to take my leave. A glass half empty shouted, "What if I was full?! Would I have control of my destiny?" Well I can hardly see but I'm still falling. Is this even real? Beginning to feel that I can barely breathe.
