Pushing Boundaries

I've exhausted all my fuel
I can't take anymore
I am all burnt out
And I think that I've learned now
My pedal's not meant for the floor
Working overtime
Using every resource
Looking at the clock, it's 10:15
Cutting the deadline lean
And trying not to steer off course
Just this once
Just this once

I'm so remarkably lazy
I'm not even going to finish this song

Seeing-Eye

I looked out the window to a bright day
The clouds dispersed from the sun to brighten the day even more
My eyes then melted and bled down to the floor
Where my hell-hound lapped up the mess away
The brightness burned my retinas
And the sun inflamed my cornea and destroyed my iris
And after they dripped down from their sockets
The empty sockets caught on fire, destroying even my nebula
Though I like how the opacity of my cornea is gone
But so aren't both my eyes and I still have to mow the lawn
Sometimes I wish I had invested in that tinted window
But too late, now, I've got nothing to lose, nothing to show
I looked out the window to a bright day
The clouds dispersed from the sun to brighten the day even more
My eyes then melted and bled down to the floor
Where my hell-hound lapped up the mess away
That's what I get for saving my money
To buy that stupid collector’s item no one likes
I shouldn't have gotten that mountain bike
That I don't use because I think that it looks funny
And now my hell-hound is my seeing-eye
But he leads me to cars that are going by
And the fire in my eye sockets won't burn out
Sometimes I think they'll stop, but I highly doubt

Whispering Horizons

What was that?
Did I hear you right?
I heard a whisper in my ear from far away from here, I have no sight
The rock impaired my view
Intentions were askew
Was this the ugly fate of some kind of downgrade to cover you?
CHORUS
I can't believe this
I can't resist
Another look down the road to liven
The crazed monsters
Of past reminders
The vengeance of the whispering horizons
Cancerous rumor
ill conveyed humor
The taste of evil tingling cold, product has been sold, a consumer
Problem addressed
Feng shui is a mess
And I, the victim in this nonsense, rivalry has commenced, tell the press
chorus
And if I were a pacifist
Then I wouldn't waste my time on this
I'd build a model boat
To remind myself not to gloat
But the truth is I don't want to argue
I don't want all the things it'll put me through
The rocks can't hold a notion
They'll fall victim to erosion

Discomfort Zone
02:25
|

Life's gonna rip you out of your comfort zone
There's nothing you can do to change that
It does it to me every day
Because my comfort zone resides in solitude
Let the fan blow away the dust
On the delayed inevitable
Let it just be over with
So you can carry on
CHORUS
Test your abilities
In dealing with everything you hate
Or be trapped under that hate
Test your endurance
In the tolls of missing your desires
Or not knowing what you have in mind
Life's gonna dig a grave in the worst place
Hardest soil to let you rest in
Waking from that grave everyday
Will give you a nice kink in the neck
And as you dust off all that dirt
You start to wonder why
Everything now sucks
Everything is a pain in the neck
chorus
Strength, will, advice
Placebos that deceive
Conceive a false sense of hope
It's your exam you must pass
It's for your own good
Would you do it otherwise?
No
Life's gonna rip you out of your comfort zone
There's nothing you can do to change that
Life's gonna dig a grave in the worst place
Hardest soil to let you decay right away
chorus

Frozen In Eons

Dispose of valuable time
Like looking up a word in the dictionary that uses the word in the definition
I hate that!
Why do they do that?
But hey, I'm just trying to kill time
Even though there's nothing to pass the time quicker
In fact,
It makes time go slower
Don't feed the snake, he'll think your part of the meal
I trained him that way, and he keeps his part of the deal
Don't wake the neighbors, we don't need that attention
We do not need our trouble to achieve higher ascension
Now time is in the body bag
Hush, don't you make a big fuss out of this
Count to three
Third times the charm
Down to the foggy river
Where no one can hear a sound
Frozen in eons
Cut off from the world
Don't heed the warnings, or the plan is naught
If all goes to schedule, we won't get caught
Not that there is anything to be caught in
Because we aren't doing any kind of sin
We aren't doing anything

Honest Indifference
03:28

Another day, another dollar
Boring as boring can be
And I can't function
The cupboard houses no coffee
Maybe I can learn to let go
But I'll pick up some breakfast on the road
Feel the rush of adrenaline
Running down your spine
I'm the master of that feeling
And it's oh so fine
Stimulating my senses
With the same continuation
Hard to focus on a caffeine high
But that just distracts the frustration
I love the things that irritate me
I adore the things that hate me
I can't stand the things that authenticate me
The honesty escapes me
Maybe I can learn to let go
That's for another day
When I'll put it off some more
Maybe this will kill me
I wouldn't worry anymore
But it isn't really this I have a problem with
I like the security it devotes
It's my own inabilities and compulsions
Maybe I can learn to let go
