Lyrics:
Heaven and hell are places we create ourselves.
Good and bad exist inside our heads.
There is only desire.
Oh say can you see? Blind belief.
Oh say do you know? How far is home.
 

Desire

Original Composition by Joshua Alan Hoffman

Lyrics:

I'm sad that I will die without ever seeing peace
I'm pissed that I can't take back the words that leave my teeth
I'm shamed by all the first world strife I feel it all in vain
I had belief done sold belief for something more insane

I'm happy that the sun and stars never cease to shine
I'm moderately interested in the human mind
I'm honestly illiterate when it comes to faith
I had belief done sold belief for something more insane
I had belief done sold belief for something more insane

I'm angry that our government is one sadistic game
I'm sorry I can't promise you that I will stay the same
I'm completely an idiot for causing myself pain
I had belief done sold belief for something more insane

I'm confused by the images when they advertise
I'm scared by the perpetuating lies that follow lies
I'm at peace with the universe that death is sure as rain
I had belief done sold belief for something more insane
I had belief done sold belief for something more insane 

I'm warped by all the selfishness that rises in my chest
I'm terrified of my loved ones running out of breath
I apologize that this whole song's bout me and my own brain
I had belief done sold belief for something more insane
I had belief done sold belief for something more insane



Somethin' More Insane

Lyrics:
Tell me how have you been
Can we just reminisce 
Remember when you pierced my ear
Or when we stole my fathers beer
Do you remember back before

Tell me how have you been
Can we just reminisce 
Remember our first cigarettes
Sneaking out at 2 a.m.
Do you remember back before

Come on man
Catch me if you can
The grass has never been so green 
You and me caught in between

Come on man
Catch me if you can
The grass has never been so green 
You and me caught in between the Pines

Tell me how have you been
Can we just reminisce 
Remember that old crooked tree 
Far within the wooded deep
Do you remember back before

Tell me how have you been
Can we just reminisce 
Remember jumping off the roof
We thought that we we're bulletproof
Do you remember back before

Tell me how have you been
Can we just reminisce 
If you hadn't been around
I wouldn't be who I am now
Do you remember back before

The Pines

Lyrics:

Long ago in distant lands
Came the birth of modern man
Formed of water wine and sand
The earth was his to make
On his way to perfect peace
He slipped into a simple beast
And traveled far into the east
The world was his to take
From dust to dirt he weighed his worth
And came to know the killers curse
The mercy was enough to hurt
He nullified the state
And all the stars could not retrieve
The consciousness that would believe
In separation sanctity
Now we cannot relate
Now we can know that the truth has evolved
Into something of much greater strife
How can it be that the earth is anew with the hue of a much sadder life
God is it true that the way that we flew was a path too damn close to the sun
Is it our wings that will never bring life back now anything prideful is done
Done damn is right
And this is all wrong
I gotta get a grip
On this systematic soul

With a touch of ancient youth
Came a man of cryptic truth
He spoke in riddles split in two
The crowd was his to teach
The triple swirl of infinite
Came into view a little bit
And in that moment perfect bliss
The goal was in his reach
The people they adored his mind
Connected with a higher sign
The ether in mystic shrine
The mouth began preach
The serpents came from withered tongues
Water filled the teachers lungs
Through his teeth came it is done
The human is the leech
Now we can see that the price is the blueprint
Embedded in our dna
How can we listen when parts have gone missing and we are empowered to say
Separation is a cynical trick an illusion created by man
And we are the lucifer manifestation of hatred destroying this land
Done damn is right 
And this is all wrong
I gotta get a grip
On this systematic soul

Systematic souls
Systematic mind
Systematic world
Systematic kind
He tries to hear the truth
But he follows lies 
He dreams of infinite
But he is confined

Systematic souls 
Systematic man
Systematic world
Systematic stands
He tries to hear the truth
I don't think he can
He dreams of long ago
Lost in distant lands
