Regenerate

A beat
A breath
A thought
A word

Phantom pain
What went away
Their hand
Their foot

Regenerate, regenerate, regenerate, regenerate
Regenerate, regenerate, regenerate, regenerate

A beat not alone
A breath and a tone
A thought that belongs
A word to a song

The phantom pain
From what went away
By their own hand
By their own foot

Regenerate, regenerate, regenerate, regenerate
Regenerate, regenerate, regenerate, regenerate

Outside This Room

I don't feel the same, I don't feel the same
I don't even know my own name, know my own name, I don't know why
I don't feel the same, I've been feeling strange
I don't even know my own pain, know my own pain, I don't know why

Days of hiding away
Maybe it's better to stay
Warmth is felt through the door
Maybe there could be more and more

Oh, there's a world of people out there
Oh, some of them even care about you
Oh, and it never felt so good
To live outside this room

I don't feel the same, I don't feel the same
I don't even know my own name, know my own name, I don't know why
I don't feel the same, I've been feeling strange
I don't even know my own pain, know my own pain, I don't know why

Weeks of hiding inside
Waiting for moons to align
Sunny days still exist
Don't ignore potential bliss and miss

Oh, there's a world of people out there
Oh, some of them even care about you
Oh, and it never felt so good
To live outside this room

I don't feel the same, I don't feel the same
I don't even know my own name, know my own name, I don't know why
I don't feel the same, I've been feeling strange
I don't even know my own pain, know my own pain, I don't know why

You understand the understanding of the broken mind
So look into the clearest mirror, journal what you find
If that becomes the basis of the basics of the self
Just going out and breathing in becomes a path to health

Months of hiding away
Maybe it's easier to stay
But are you satisfied with this?
Are you really satisfied with this?

Oh, there's a world of people out there
Oh, some of them even care about you
Oh, and it never felt so good
To live outside this room

READY4MUSIC

Are you ready for music
Are you ready for love
Are you ready for cliché
All that good stuff

Are you ready for music
Are you ready for loud
Are you ready for choosing
Are you ready for crowds

Am I ready for music
Am I ready for self
Am I ready for others
Am I done with the stealth

Are you ready for music
Are you ready for chance
Are you ready for future
Are you ready for dance

Are we ready for music
Are we ready for plans
Are we ready for motion
And joining hands

Are you ready for music
Oh are you ready for music
Are you ready for music
Oh are you ready for music

Is this just a plan or are you really ready
You can get it in the can just try being steady
There's a narrow bridge that stretches out not far from you
So just find it if you can and brace for where it's taking you

Convenience

The voice beneath the mask is mine
I hoped that you could see in time
The absent face that takes the blame
Even though I know you've read my name

I'm not your man
I'm not your brother
I'm not a sir
I'm not a mister

I'm not who you think I am
I'm not who you think I am
I'm not who you think I am
I'm not who you think I am

I am running out of ways
To try and force the better case
If not a thing can change your mind
Just drop the act, it's not polite

Don't need the sass
Don't need the threats
While I give you
Your cigarettes

I'm not who you think I am
I'm not who you think I am
I'm not who you think I am
I'm not who you think I am

I'm not who you think I am
Not who you think I am
Not who you think I am
Not who you think I am

I'm not who you think I am
I'm not who you think I am
I don't know the man you see
But I know that it's not me
Yeah I know that it's not me

I'm not who you think I am
I'm not who you think I am
No I don't know the man you see
But I know that it's not me
Yeah I know that it's not me

Tears Start Flowing

Oh now, I'm not alone, I'm not in pain, I'm at home
And now, the code runs, the shell knows, sees what is done
Oh now, the gears are shining, the gears are spinning with erratic timing
The circuit, it sparks, it cracks, it barks

And then the tears start flowing, they won't stop flowing
They don't stop flowing, where are they going?
The tears start flowing, they won't stop flowing
They don't stop flowing, where are they going?

So what's the deal? The rusty steel
Pull out the blade and the blood runs
Now I feel all that was sealed
Can't help but pick at the new scabs

It's not the start of something new
Not the end of walls built and painted blue
Rather, something's over, something's said and done
The pathways established still ruin the fun

And then the tears start flowing, they won't stop flowing
They don't stop flowing, where are they going?
The tears start flowing, they won't stop flowing
They don't stop flowing, where are they going?

So what's the deal? The rusty steel
Pull out the blade and the blood runs
Now I feel all that was sealed
Can't help but pick at the new scabs

The art slips through my palms cause I'm still reciting psalms
That I wrote near death and 6 feet underground
I'm broken and boney, a halloween zombie
Just beating 'gainst the dirt and clay and other brittle promises that stay

This is what the healing is
Okay that pain will still remain time to time

You can cry, it's okay
You can cry, it's okay

Still Learning

Stumbling, stumbling, stumbling, everyday, everyday, everyday
Just to go one day without falling, rolling on the ground
Still more than a failure
It's not the first time I've felt this way

Just to go one day without falling, rolling on the ground
Then you could figure out how to better play with sound
Can't start the paper wings, but flying means everything
Still jump right out of the nest, do nothing but try your best

And then you pick up the pace
And then you fall on your face
Don't wanna take up your space
While treating life like a race
And when you can't force a smile
It kinda stings a while
So go the extra mile
Until it falls out of style

Still growing
Not knowing
Still learning
Still yearning

It's not the first time I've felt this way
But I have even less left to say
Figuring out how to dodge the queue
And trying out something better to do

And then you pick up the pace
And then you fall on your face
Don't wanna take up your space
While treating life like a race
And when you can't force a smile
It kinda stings a while
So go the extra mile
Until it falls out of style

Still growing
Not knowing
Still learning
Still yearning

Still growing
Not knowing
Still learning
Still yearning

Still more than a failure, still more than a failure
Still more than a failure, still more than a failure

Nothing, Something

Once again my clothes are gray
As the warm gives way to rain
Bill of health came back okay
Crumpled up and thrown away

I'd just like to see where this tunnel goes
I'd just love to swallow my pride and know

There is still nothing
But now there's something too
Now there is something new
There is still nothing
But now there's something too
Yeah there is something new
Ever there for you

I've forgotten how to smell
And my mouth could barely tell
Put your ear up to the shell
Listen for a magic spell

I don't like to think that this well is dry
I'd just hate to be the one to say goodbye

There is still nothing
But now there's something too
Now there is something new
There is still nothing
But now there's something too
Yeah there is something new
Ever there for you

Why Not Live?

命はいつでも私の悲しみ
全てを直した、問題は私
それはいいだよね、私は私ね
私を直せば全てが直した

Oh I'm still alive, so why not live? (Oh, no, lord, I couldn't)
Oh I'm still alive, so why not live?

命は延々、自殺はむりむり
それわかっただよ、命は私の
それはいいだよね、私は私ね
私を直せば命が直した

Oh I'm still alive, so why not live? (Oh, no, lord, I couldn't)
Oh I'm still alive, so why not live? (ないよないよないよ)
Oh I'm still alive, so why not live?

昔を忘れて、未来を忘れて
今から喜ぶ、幸せがあるよ
それはいいだよね、私は悲しみ
私は幸せ、命が直した

Oh I'm still alive, so why not live? (Oh, no, lord, I couldn't)
Oh I'm still alive, so why not live? (ないよないよないよ)
Oh I'm still alive, so why not live? (Oh, no, lord, I couldn't) (ないよないよないよ)
Oh I'm still alive, so why not live?

I Asked + I Care

I asked, I care
'Cause I've been there
I know it gets bad
Let's smile and stay glad

You can still have a treat
In victory and in defeat
I have the cash, there's no debate

You can stop holding your breath
The air outside is minty fresh
Let's go out and have a taste

Does this not seem sincere?
I'm just feeling out my fear
Still I hope some life is near

Oh I asked and I care
Because I have been there
Oh I know it gets bad
Smile, stay glad

Can you see something good
If you don't think that you could
Far away, in the sky

You can have faith in earth
Long enough to feel its mirth
You don't need wings to fly

Is it just not alright?
I don't want to make a fight
Just something soft for you to bite

I asked, I care
'Cause I've been there
I know it gets bad
Smile, stay glad

Oh I asked and I care
Because I have been there
Oh I know it gets bad
Smile, stay glad
Smile, stay glad
Let's smile and stay glad
Let's smile and stay glad

Only Penitence

You smell the trail
Of blood splatter
You bought the nails
And hold the hammer

Don't attach, don't moor
Just to settle the score
Maybe wade, doggy paddle
The ocean is there to rattle
The kraken is only asking

With only penitence on your mind
What gets left behind?
The wind blows with sympathy
So raise your sail

You tried to bathe
In saltwater
You found a cave
Figured a goner

Don't dig, don't bury
Just because it's kinda scary
Maybe think, slowly reach in
The darkness is there to teach it
The ghosts say the most

With only hesitance on your mind
What gets left behind?
The sand is warm with empathy
So take off your shoes

With only penitence on your mind
You're always dead to rights
The green grows endlessly
Put that in your pipe

With only penitence on your mind
It all gets left behind
The green grows endlessly
Put it into your pipe

With only penitence on your mind
Don't lose your self
With only hesitance on your mind
Don't lose your self

Dear Death

As we stand upon the edge and look back at the valley
See the people and their song and dance
They appear as only ants

It's easy then to think we're unrelated
Or at worst intoxicated
When the common points come to mind

But that is not the path I'll walk
I'd rather get to sit and talk
Break bread together
Keep that feeling forever

Dear death
Consider this a formality
I'll be in the valley
Owning my mortality

As the water flows back to its home
It fills our chests and chills our bones
And we can only gasp, maybe fruitlessly, for air

It's easy then to say what good is life
All suffering and endless strife
Let the waves wash my corpse to shore

But that is not the way I'll die
I'd rather swim and see the sky
Break bread together
Keep that feeling forever

Dear death
Consider this a formality
I'll be in the valley
Owning my mortality

So if it's all the same to you
I'll love the earth enough for two
The karma bath can wait a little while

And when I'm out of steam
I'll let somebody take the lead
'Til I remember what it means to be a member of this world

'Cause that will be my memory
The full fledged selves that we can be
Break bread together
Keep that feeling forever

Dear death
Dearest death
Consider this a formality
I'll be in the valley
I'll be in the valley
