Manta Ray

Manta ray, I haven't seen it today
bored of it - what do I want to play?
treat me wrong you get no treat from
keep it back for a unique release
Is there anything else you'd like to try?
time is running out
we're too busy being loud
it's not like I am hip to you
I'm a rodent in my gut
the Magus Chamber closing shut
if you show me what it was
maybe ill be a trick to you
but you're choosing what I'm not

Tired of It

Tired of it ya know I’m tired of it
Sleepy sleepy tired tired tired of it
You know Ive seen it before and I am not that impressed
I really really wish I got this thing off my chest
You look just great
You look just fine
You don’t have to worry about any more lies
better get you up and out there and a make it your prize
I don’t wanna hear you whining or play any more games
better get your act together tether up both ends
That’s why i said it before and now I’ll say it again
keep talking talking say it say it say it again
you know I’m calling your bluff
you give me all the wrong stuff
take it take it stop it stop it i had enough
You look just great
I think you look fine
I don’t need to tell you how I’m really upset
you are clearly not perceptive and I’ll make it a bet
that your gonna have it better if you give it a try
better get your act together tether up both sides

What Would You Do?

Lyrics:
What would you say if you could say anything?
- but you can't say it all
What would you take if you could take anything?
- but you can't take it all
What would you have if you could have any hat?
- but you can't take it off
What would you dream if you could dream any dream?
- but you can't dream it all
let me say what I want to say but I do not think you can hear me
let me take what I want to take but I do not think you can give me

You guys are gonna have a great time with this guy!
Did you check out that guy?

No Love
02:45
|
|||
|
No one knows your name - knows your feelings.
You have a purpose. You have forgiven me.
You are a person who made a symphony.
You are a reason to be apostrophe.
You are the bird song that never repeats.
No one knows your face - knows your future.
No love goes your way. No one listens.

CALLING ALL THE CITIZENS
AND ANYONE WHO’S FREE
WE’RE COMING THRU THE PHONE LINES
WE’RE COMING THRU YOUR SCREENS
NO USE IN DISCONNECTING
NO NEED TO MISS THE CALL
IT’S COME THE TIME TO MINIMIZE
IT’S COME THE TIME FOR SMALL
[chorus]
GET SMALL!
IT’S TIME TO CUT THE CHORD NOW
GET SMALL!
IT’S TIME TO GET OFF OF THAT GRID
GET SMALL!
WE GOTTA TRIM THE FAT NOW
GET SMALL!
WE GOTTA SHED OFF ALL THAT SHIT
GET SMALL!
WE’VE GOT OUR MAPS AND BORDERS
WE’VE DRAWN UP POINTS AND PLANS
BUT ALL THIS DAMNED EXPANSION
IT’S GETTING OUT OF HAND
EYES ON THE PRIZE THAT’S THE BIGGEST SIZE
THE HIGHEST HIGHS STILL FALL
DON’T NEED TO NAG OR CRITICIZE
BUT NOW IT’S TIME FOR ALL
[chorus]
YOU GOTTA SHRINK IT DOWN NOW
YOU GOTTA MASH IT UP
YOU GOTTA SQUASH IT DOWN NOW
YOU GOTTA RIP IT UP
YOU GOTTA GIVE IT UP NOW
YOU GOTTA SELL IT OUT
YOU GOTTA BREAK IT DOWN NOW
YOU GOTTA THROW IT OUT
YOU WANNA TAKE IT BUT YOU GOTTA BREAK AND LEAVE IT
YOU KNOW IT’S STUPID AND YOU’RE NEVER GONNA NEED IT
YOU THINK YOU WANT IT SO YOU SAY YOU WANNA KEEP IT
BUT KEEP ON KEEPING AND YOU JUST END UP DEFEATED
YOU GOT AN APPETITE YOU KNOW YOU WANNA FEED IT
YOU GOTTA A VEIN AND NOW YOU WANNA GO AND BLEED IT
YOU GOT THE GARDEN BUT YOU KNOW YOU GOTTA WEED IT
YOU’VE GOT THE CALL SO NOW IT’S TIME YOU BETTER HEED IT
[chorus]

We're falling on top of everyone

YOU KNOW I GOT THE SAME BORING THINGS
YOU KNOW I GOT THE SAME BORING FACE
YOU KNOW I OWE EVERYONE THAT I KNOW
AND IT’S TRUE
YOU’RE IN MY HEART
YOU KNOW I WON’T GO WHEREVER YOU GO
YOU KNOW I CAN’T KEEP TRACK OF YOUR SHOW
YOU KNOW I WON’T STEP OUT OF THIS BOAT
‘TILL IT’S YOU
WEARING MY COAT
I MEAN IT
IF SEEING IS BELIEVING
YOU KNOW I CAN’T BE AFRAID OF A MAN
YOU KNOW I CAN’T REGRET WHAT I CAN
YOU NEVER KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO
‘TILL IT’S THROUGH
AND IT’S TOO LATE
YOU KNOW THERE’S SO MUCH TO ARRANGE
YOU KNOW YOU CAN’T GET AWAY FROM THE STRANGE
YOU KNOW I WON’T GET OFF OF THIS STAGE
‘TILL IT’S YOU
ON THE SAME PAGE
I MEAN IT
IF SEEING IS BELIEVING
I COULDN’T TELL YOU HOW MUCH MORE I COULD GIVE
I WOULDN’T KNOW WHICH LIFE TO LIVE
I NEED TO KNOW WHICH RIVER TO FLOAT
AND IT’S TRUE
YOU ARE MY ROAD
I MEAN IT
IF SEEING IS BELIEVING

Full Support

I am a real door to open and the silum mysterum to stun on the mount
I am waiting for a demon to accomadate reasons to turn me around
I am a no more that uses a serum that sinks by the nearest hotel
I am a real bore to use and replenish the birth of a boundless bodel
I am waiting for a you to make a choice
I am in full support you using your voice
I am a resource but what are you given to me
I am in full support if you came out
you’ve known for a while
well have you, now?
I am a real sight to see off the highest reduced that is critically clear
I am waiting while a serious gesture of shirts i am guessing are here
I am on no sleep so leave me to be sleeping now till forever a week
I am a real guy to write of my findings while mining a title from fights

LOVE
IS IT THE ONLY YOU GOT?
LOVE
IS IT THE ONLY THING THAT I COULD EVER BE LEFT WITHOUT?
SOME
SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?
LOVE
I COULDN’T TAKE YOU FOR THE FOOL YOU EVER HAD LEFT BEHIND
ALL THIS TALK IS JUST ENOUGH
TO FILL YOU WITH THE GREATEST TRUST
BUT I KNOW WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON
LOUD
LET THE CROWD SHOUT OUT
LIFE
YOU COULDN’T LIVE IT IF YOU HAD A REASON TO LET IT DIE
FIGHT
I GOTTA PUT UP EVERY NIGHT - WHAT’S UP WITH THAT?
MINE
MY EVERY SINGLE FACET HASN’T FILLED YOU UP WITH NEARLY ENOUGH
ALL THIS TALK IS JUST ENOUGH
TO FILL YOU WITH THE GREATEST TRUST
BUT I KNOW WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON

OPEN TO A MODEM AN REBIRTH YOUR BUSINESS
IT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER IF YOUR FAR IN DISTANCE
MOST CASES WORRY BUT THE JURY SAID IT’S NOT BEST
FOR YOUR TO SIT AND SURREY AND ABORT THIS BIG MESS
OF COUSE I AM SPEAKING OF A FEELING INDEPENDENT
OF THINGS YOU ARE KEEPING SO FORGIVE ME IF I MUST VENT
ABOVE THE NEW HORIZON I’M A THOUSAND TIMES A MILLION
I WONDER IF WE CAN EVEN BUILD TO IMPRESS
I WONDER IF WE CAN EVEN BUILD TO IMPRESS
I WONDER IF WE CAN EVEN BUILD TO IMPRESS
