Brand New Day 05:24
lyrics
buy track
Long gone are the days of longing starry eyes and empty promises When the world felt just a little brighter than it was before A fine time when the lips of common men grew ripe with nonconformity But it works just like they say, everything's gonna pass away And although I've tried and tried the man's grown old and he has died Yes, that day has come and gone, the old has passed, the future's come And how I grieve Nothing stays the same but it'll be okay It's a brand new day, things are gonna change Nothing stays the same but it'll be okay It's a brand new day, things are gonna change Nothing stays the same but it'll be okay It's a brand new day, things are gonna change

Two Lonely Hearts 03:01
lyrics

Listen to the words I'm 'bout to say I love you in every single way But it means nothing at all, it's nothing you've never heard before Lately I've only thought of you And darling, I promise to be true But for now we're apart, and we're just two lonely hearts Only wish you could see it, don't you know that I mean it When I say I admire you and I hope you feel the same way too Love's not just a feeling devoid of any meaning, and through the pain And the struggle know that I'll be there So maybe someday I'll find the way and find words fit for what I have to say But until that is through know that I do love you, always Always and forever We're just two lonely hearts

Badoomza 02:26
lyrics

It takes about fifty five tons to keep the walls from jumping off of my bed And it takes about a hundred nine eyes to keep the years from popping out of my head It seems to get a corner store punk punch drunk little two bit liar It's easy, gotta saddle that chessboard bottle rocket, hair's on fire Didn't I know so, shame I didn't think it before I'd be happy to tell you more later but I've gotta run, I'll be back at a quarter to four I wake up to a Gemini dancer and his katakana teacup bride He told me they've been doing good business with the jitterbugs up in the sky It's a masquerade of bubblegum Bettys with an all-electric android band While the moon is singing to me in the desert of the phosphorescent rainbow sand Everything's something but nothing's ever anything more And you can call me like a Barnes Circus lion 'cus I've got out of my cage and now I'm ready to roar

Little Bit Of Hope 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Staring at the sky from my bedroom late at night Wondering if you still love me Though I hurt you so I just need for you to know That I'm sorry and I wish you'd see Oh, the things I'd do just to be with you Together, for a while, once more All that I can say is our love is still at bay Near the still Atlantic shore With a little bit of hope, a little bit of love A little bit of faith in heaven above A little bit of happiness just to get us through the night And even in the pain, even through the tears You know they can't define all these years A little bit of time and everything will be alright I've lost my vision in this desolate land And these not so sacred times But I hope and I pray that maybe someday Oh, you'd come back and be mine And even in the pain, even through the tears You know they can't define all these years A little bit of time and everything will be alright

lyrics

Believe it or not I'm lost in a thought A vivid idea that they all left behind But it still lives on in my mind Log on, shut down Browse the little server town And the geo-neighborhoods I'd live there if I could ASCII waves of Comic Sans Crashing on beige plastic sands Under tile-textured stars Doesn't really seem so far away Neg'tive hours left 'til Y2K Nothing but fractured memories of yesterday CRT office calls Dreams of neon shopping malls With the loan video store And the checker-pattern floors Marble pillars stand in line Shown to me through my mind's eye Seems so perfect what I've found So forgive me if this sounds bizarre Burn my wistful thoughts to CD-R Just leave a message, I'll call shortly after dark

Young Hope 03:16
lyrics
buy track
Do I know you, do you see Do you even remember me That's okay, it doesn't really matter anyway I remember long ago Before I died and I left my home Life's unfair, but don't expect anyone else to care Hold, take a second I'm just a wrecked and lonely soul Hoping for a young hope I can't believe my eyes Where did all my laughter go Still I'm praying for a young hope I went back to where I left Hoping someone would be there yet There's no one there Couldn't find anyone anywhere Hadn't hoped I'd realize The new age comes and the old age dies Quite so fast Now I'm forced to hang onto the past Hold, take a second I'm just a wrecked and lonely soul Hoping for a young hope I can't believe my eyes Where did all my laughter go Still I'm praying for a young hope But is it real, is this my life What am I now, I'm just a figure that they used to know Now I'm all alone Hold, take a second I'm just a wrecked and lonely soul Praying for a young hope

Sunny Days 02:05
lyrics
buy track
Now that troubled times are far away Take those cloudy skies and turn them into sunny days Leave all those cares behind, gotta get out of that state of mind Pull yourself together, there's no time to waste Come on, baby, wipe those tears away You'll wake up tomorrow, it'll be okay Intangible as it may seem with your broken hearts and broken dreams Please understand that life will find a way Huge lack of compatibility, out of touch with reality Will we be okay, will we stay this way Seems it comes with all these years of nothing to hide and nothing to fear But just drift away, things might be okay Don't you see the way that you could be You could be so happy, baby, can't you see But as it stands now, honestly, you're just killing yourself slowly Forget tomorrow's troubles, they can't trouble us today 'Cuz they're miles and miles and miles and miles away
