Dear Old Me 04:32
I have died One thousand times and seen myself lie on the floor Dead to the world but alive and free indulging in what's unseen I have lied to dear old Me one hundred thousand thousand times tumultuous this little spree all that darkness is just dear old me I never know where to go there's nothing left for you or me to know Deadly dreams Deadly screams down at the bottom of my mind I can't see Oh please let me be ego must die! Please don't take me away I just wanna stay home and play So many thoughts so many minds I wish it was so much kinder I just wish that my ego would die

Take Take me home Where? I don't know I don't know Stay in the early year daze Play in the childish way Early year daze Early year daze Early year daze Stay in the childish way I don't know if I can stay I don't got much left to say I'm gonna take right back what's rightfully mine it's just a matter of time I'm going home back where I can be all alone and I'm going home back where I can be all alone

Mystery 03:54
Yea It's all goin' down inside my head And I think I'd rather be there instead it's all goin' down inside my head Yea it's all goin' down inside my head and I think I'd rather be there instead Take me down into your mind I can't get enough of your kind I wanna know what it means to be behind your eyes and lookin' at me The feminine mind's a mystery there's just so much goin' on beneath Yea I tried to figure it out, I can't succeed No no no no I can't succeed 'Cause it's all goin' down inside my head I think I'd rather be there instead Yea 'Cause it's all goin' down inside my head and I think I'd rather be there instead It's all goin' down now Come on now So take me down into your mind I can't get enough of your kind

Last night I found the new light of Mother Earth and Father Mind She's the womb and he just consumes But then there was a thought He knew it everything was wrong he'd been taught So then Again Again he went back home Again again and again he went on back home A place where he'd ought to be with Mother a dream that he could see A place where he'd ought to be with Mother she's the womb She couldn't believe What he had seen She knew that his heart had died then and there She cried "Come back to me together we can be free Come back to me together we can be free"

And I've got a selfish heart and I don't wanna share any love or any care The lights are on but no one is home So please don't bother me don't bother me please And I don't care how beautiful you are cause we're all monsters inside our hearts And I've got nostalgia for paradise and I've got nostalgia for paradise

Fly through the tunnel You don't wanna get Stuck inside Fly through the tunnel And I don't wanna lose my mind Sometimes you take too much of that wonderful LSD Locked in the tunnel of eyes Trillions of psychic spies I tried to break on through Jim Morrison told me to Keep on goin' keep on goin' keep on goin' through Fly through the tunnel You don't wanna get Stuck inside Fly through the tunnel And I don't wanna lose my mind Extra sensory perception A million things in each direction A new meaning to the million mile stare There's nothing quite like it that can compare Oh no Fly through the tunnel You don't wanna get Stuck inside Fly through the tunnel And I don't wanna lose my mind I tried to break on through Jim Morrison told me to Keep on goin' keep on goin' keep on goin' through Fly through the tunnel You don't wanna get Stuck inside Fly through the tunnel And I don't wanna lose my mind

Lower 04:35
I can't seem to let myself go It's all so scary and I know you know To let go To kill my desire For something that's so much higher higher higher to let go to let go And I'll never write a song for no one You're all a living reminder the beauty takes me lower and lower and lower to let go lower And I'll never write a song for no one

Mother said, "Don't you even care? Son, your thoughts, your heart I love you to death" I've given you everything so you can see and you can breathe and feel what it is to be free I know we can make it you and me Symbiotic relationship a love that was meant to be Mother said, "Don't you even care? Son, your thoughts, your heart I love you to death" Don't do what you 'think' just do what feels right Use your heart that's what it's for You only get one and not one more I know we can make it you and me Symbiotic relationship a love that was meant to be Togetherness at last Togetherness at last

I'm just starting to believe in myself again Things are pretty good I can't complain Forget the mind hold on to now be here just be here Live for today go out and play A lot to learn too much to see there's always more right underneath the moving picture's all you see and I'm just starting to believe in myself again things are pretty good I can't complain I'm just starting to see that I just need to be Life's just a play a short stay Feel your body hear your soul it's all real no better deal Live for today go out and play
