(Words: Rog)
Something's in your mouth
You can't express yourself
Something's coming out
Fear of infancy
Patterns recognized
With blurry vision eyes
Distant lonely cries
Regression therapy
Functions you can't hide
It's so undignified
Emptiness inside
Fear of infancy
Nothing's making sense
The universe is bent
Cradle like a fence
Regression therapy
Wouldn't you like to go back?
Start all over again
Don't you want to lose all control?
A programmed regimen
A model citizen
A captive specimen
Regression not suppression
World is much too small
And nothing is your all
Fragile little doll
Fear of infancy
Growth, the major key
Too much dependency
You cannot yet be
Regression therapy
Back to a time when discipline was everything
Back to a time when discipline was
Wouldn't you like to go back?
Start all over again (start all over again)
Don't you want to lose all control?
A programmed regimen
A model citizen
A captive specimen
Regression not suppression

(Words: Rog)
Green became red, light turned into dark
The balance was shifted by a single remark
Elements drifted in the final array
When I found out the truth, last Tuesday
Say what you want, say what you will
You can't take it back and hope that we stand still
Filaments burned out due to faster decay
When I found out the truth, last Tuesday
Shadows lengthen as the day turns into hell
Demons pursue as I crawl into my shell
I begged for you to show me the truth
I thought I could take the truth
Daylight retreats as I tumble down your well
Nothing matters as I follow those who fell
I thought I could take the truth
The truth lies...cries...dies
Cheeks became flushed,
Blood rushed to my head
My stomach felt like a container of lead
Dignity fled like a car down the highway
When I found out the truth, last Tuesday
Eyes became guns, words turned into screams
Your pupils betrayed you with a flickering gleam
Your pity flowed out as your final display
When I found out the truth, last Tuesday
Hades applauds all these stories that you tell
Heaven’s silenced by the banging of your bell
I begged for you to show me the truth
I thought I could take the truth
No one listens to objections that I yell
Nothing matters as I sit in some motel
I thought I could take the truth
The truth lies...cries...dies
I thought I could take it...
I thought I could take it...
I thought I could take it...the truth lies
I thought I could take it...
I thought I could take it...
I thought I could take it...the truth lies
I thought I could take it...(the truth lies)
I thought I could take it...(the truth lies)
I thought I could take it...(the truth lies)
The truth lies

My asphalt love is windy blown in the springtime
My asphalt love is dirty gray in the summer
Come lie with me on my asphalt love
We'll point our eyes to the stars above
My asphalt love is turning cold in the autumn
My asphalt love is shiny black in the winter
Come slide with me down my asphalt love
We'll hitch a ride like we're wounded doves
White lines, Yellow lines,
Traffic signs, Joyful times
White lines, Yellow lines,
Traffic signs, Peaceful minds
My asphalt love is sticky wet newly laid down

(Words: John/Rog)
I gave up after dawn
It all ended in sorrow
I could sit here withdrawn
But I won’t
Still
I don’t want to shed tears
I don’t care for your tomorrow
I’ll just keep reliving the years
All my life
I was always so sure
I would lead, they would follow
I assumed motives so pure
But they’re not
Here
One more time at the bar
Why does it never seem hollow?
I only look back from afar
Killing time

(Words: Rog)
They've got the power
And they know how to use it
Such a big distraction
I really can't excuse it
Taking time to think it through
Won't help me in the end
I know it's more than I can comprehend

(Words: Rog)
My neurons pulsate in a micro-web
See potential there as connections are bred
My peptides mingle in a hormone spray
Feel endorphins rush as foundations are laid
I can't imagine they don't know
 that they're winning
So much activity it keeps my head spinning
My proteins march on in a secret parade
I have no life outside of my mind
I have no life outside of my mind
I have no life outside of my mind
But it doesn't matter anyway
I wouldn't have a thing to say
If you asked me to come out and play
My dollars rain down in a green deluge
See illusions flow like the very best booze
My women sparkle in a dampened dream
Hear suspicious cries that it's not what it seems
I can't imagine they don't know I'm not sinning
So much activity it keeps my head spinning
My people scream out as I take the stage
I have no life outside of my mind (IRC)
I have no life outside of my mind (AOL)
I have no life outside of my mind
(you've got mail)
But it doesn't matter anyway
I wouldn't have a single thing to say
Reality's hard but fantasy's easy
I have no life outside of my mind)
Take it to the limit but leave it in place
(I have no life outside of my mind)
Step to the plate but walk to the bases
(I have no life outside of my mind)
Reach for the clouds but don't leave the ground
I have no life outside of my mind (all I need)
I have no life outside of my mind (is right here)
I have no life outside of my mind (in my head)
But it doesn't matter anyway
I wouldn't have a thing to say
If you asked me to come out and play
I have no life outside of my mind (AOL)
I have no life outside of my mind (IRC)
I have no life outside of my mind
(you've got mail)
But it doesn't matter anyway
I wouldn't have a single thing to say

(Words:Rog)
Now the prophets have had their say
You know we're hoping for a little silence
Now the altars are in decay
We've been abandoned by our gods
See the weapons in disarray
Maybe we're looking for an end to violence
And the people forgot to pray
We're moving closer to the truth
We've got to find our own security
It waits outside of the cave
We've got to find our own mortality
And make peace with our graves
See the preachers blinded by greed
You know they're dying from a lack of spirit
See the saintly down on their knees
They've been abandoned like old bones
Pray the righteous don't spread their seed
You know they're screaming from a crooked pulpit
And we silent just heed our creed
We're moving closer to the end
We've got to find our own security
It waits outside of the cave
We've got to find our own mortality
And make peace with our graves
Let Go!
Now the golden turn into lead
You know they're sinking in a lake of deceit
See the gospels locked and unread
They've been abandoned to the wind
See the children safe in their beds
I hope they're dreaming of a better future
On your bosom I lay my head
I need your kisses girl, so hard (I forget)
That you and me we dance that dance of death
And make the least of our lives
And you and me we share that one last breath
But we'll always survive
We've got to find our own security
It waits outside of the cave
We've got to find our own mortality
And make peace with our graves

I'd write a play but I'm not Shakespeare
I'd make our story dull
I'd make a speech but I don't think like Hamlet,
I don't contemplate your skull
I'd pray to you if you were heaven,
Wish away my strife
I do no crime but time is very lonely, I complicate your
life
Leave me, nothing inside but pride
But keep me, locked inside your mind
Hook me, flopping 'round like a fish
But guide me, blindly through the mist
Blindly through the mist
I'd meet your gaze but I am frightened,
Leave my eyes behind
I'd map your skin but touching is forbidden, I penetrate
your mind
I look in the mirror, you're here but forgotten

(Words: Greg)
Is it dedication or self interest
That drives me on to get it done
To be the one who wins, in the end
Maybe its the task I can't resist
That drives me on to get it done
Or does the fun begin, in the end
I'm in it for the glory, I'm in it for the money
I'm in it for the fame, I'm in it for myself
Is it dedication or just a voice
That pushes me to make it work
To crush the jerk who slips, in the end
I'm in it for the glory, I'm in it for the money
I'm in it for the fame, I'm in it for myself
It's clear from this chair that no one can compare
And no one would dare get in my way
I won't fool myself, occupy the shelf
I've got the drive, I'll be alive
And I will contrive, to the end
I'm in it for the glory, I'm in it for the money
I'm in it for the fame, I'm in it for myself

(Words: Rog)
Words can only be wasted
Actions reconsidered
Seeing the spark after the flame
Makes inspiration seem bitter
Pleas should always be answered
Offers not repeated
Saying the words after the thoughts
Leaves opportunity cheated
Gilt-edged or guilt-free
I'm gilding your memory
Looking back, I see your face and
I hear what you had said
Looking back, would it have mattered if
I had not held back
Time can never be measured
Moments pass like hours
Hearing that voice louder inside
Makes better men run like cowards
Sharp-edged so brightly
I cut free so languidly
Looking back, I see your face and
I hear what you had said
Looking back, would it have mattered if
I had not held back
Fear can never be trusted
Reasons are excuses
Living that life, leaving the risk
Makes quick decisions abuses
Dull-edged and bluntly
My regret can bludgeon me
Looking back, I see your face and
I hear what you had said
Looking back, would it have mattered if
I had not held back
