People are always gonna call
What you do shit
Now matter how good
No matter how bad
Your shit actually is

The key is finding out
Is what you do worth it
Cause no matter what 
Anyone else says
What you think actually is 

What matters most
What matters most
What matters most
What matters most

People will always follow
A certain path
Whether that’s here
Or whether there 

And what matters 
The most to you
Was something for which you’re told to care

Ideals laid out ahead of you
By someone you will never know

What matters most
(The key is finding out is what you do worth it)
What matters most
(No matter how good; no matter how bad it actually is)
What matters most
(People will always follow a certain path)
What matters most
(laid out by someone they’ll never know)

I saw the light
It was in your eyes
It was in your eyes

I fought the light
Just to still your eyes
Because it was so bright

I saw the light
Reflected in your eyes
Oh, In your eyes

I sought the light
Because for you I’d die
For you I’d die

Shapes and patterns
Connect the streams
Flow to the future
This is our dream

Flag at half mast
Beliefs unfurled
Abandoned priest class
Beliefs restored

And the power
In the blood
Is your blood

And the shapes
And patterns
Fade away

Shapes and patterns
Perspectives clear
Meaning in matter
Matters here

Step out of line
We're never going back
Step out of time
History off your back
Off our backs

We got off 
We got off
We got off
We got back to it
We got back to it
We got home

We got back
To the track
Where we started from
Where we all came from
We got stoned

And all the things we think we want
Were never really there at all
Cause once you have them in your hands
You've changed
And they've changed
And now you both are something else

It's here
What you wanted
Grab it

It's here
What'd you want?
Anyway

Look around and see
What it looks like to have it
Look around and see
What it looks like
This is all we have

Look around

I reject 
Every word you've spoken
Over me

I reject
That your words have power
Over me

I reject
That there is a thing called
Authority

And I reject
That you have it
Over me

Over me

Have It

Solomon said now
Follow your own path
Smell the roses
Follow the signs of the time

Torment of the mind
They line up just to pay the cost
Entertainment for the lost
All of the people got no where to go

Solomon, Oh your temples gone
All but left to ruin
But not your empire

Kingdom come, Oh your will be done
We will over come
But not your empire

Keep your eye
Keep your eyes open
Don't you fall asleep
Perchance that you might dream

No matter what it seems
Illusions have no power
Illusions have no will
Except that which you give them of yourself

Solomon, Oh your temples gone
All but left to ruin
But not your empire

Kingdom come, Oh your will be done
We will over come
But not your empire

It’s all for your convenience
It’s all to improve your standard of living
and how you could live without I’ll never know
Now if you could just sign on the doted line

And agree
To our terms and conditions
Now you’re free
Within our terms and conditions

We’re all hiding behind culture
and our houses and the shapes of our clothing
Is it all one big game we play?
Here is the church
and here is the steeple
It’s all empty stone
Without all the people

My heart was made in China
By someone reluctantly doing time
My heart was made in China
but I was born in blood
In North Eastern Florida

I'm listening to the state radio
I'm listening to the National Public Radio

Terms And Conditions (made In China)

You think I know what I want
You think I know where I'm going
You think I don't give a damn but I do

I love you
And I wish that that changed everything
But it don't fix a thing

All of the kings men
All attempt to mend
All of my sins
Won't let me put it back together again

I love you
I wish that that changed everything
But it don't fix a thing

You think I know what I want
You think I know what where I'm going
You think I don't give a damn
About you… Well You're wrong

You said some thing you didn't mean
You said some things you didn't mean
I did some things I can't take back
You did some things you didn't mean

I love you

I Love You

Who is encumbered
By all your dreams and nightmares
All of your slumber
Who is encumbered

You dream
And you drink
You dream
You're a Sphinx

This is my body
This is my blood
You'll always be hungry
You'll never be loved

You just eat
You consume
You just sleep
You presume

Its The soft touch
Of the TV screen
The soft touch
What does it mean?
What does it make you think?
What does it make you drink?

The soft touch
Is in your home
The soft touch
Keeping you alone
You've heard it all here before
The laugh track calling you a bore

Soft Touch

Execution
In your hands
The solution
Is in your hands

Your crimes
Are mine
Only if I
Except them

Running fast and free
I'm gonna make it
Under the canopy
Over the underbrush

Waiting
For an answer
That you
Already know

They've already
Told you
Everything
You need to know

Self Defense

My dad says I think too much
My brother says I'm too honest
My mother says the way I speak
Makes other people angry

I am how I want to be
You are how you want to be
And I can't go around making excuses
Cause I'm getting tired
And I need a hand

Let it go

Speak your mind
Never let another soul
Tell you what or how you have to be

Let it go

My dad says
Everything happens for a reason
But I'm not sure
He knows what that means
And I can't go around making excuses
For everything you say
That don't make sense

Speak your mind
Don't ever let another soul
Tell you what or how you have to be

Happens For A Reason

On my front porch
A lizard waits for flies
A bird in a tree
Waits for me

On my front yard
Its open wide
Nothing closes
There's nothing to close

Indiana
Is my dog
All the cats here
Sleep like logs

We can talk things over
We can understand
How things got here
Where we stand
