Intro 01:30
I am a match just waiting to be lit I am a room filled with darkness You are the light The flicker of the switch You're choosing us from the pile of the matches

Matches 03:43
I am a match just waiting to be lit I am a room filled with darkness You are the light The flicker of the switch You're choosing us from the pile of the matches ooo I am a match just waiting to be lit I am a room filled with darkness You are the light The flicker of the switch You're choosing us from the pile of the matches Give us the words to send a message that they need Lead them to light pump some blood & move some feet Kick out the soap boxes from underneath their feet & as the days go on this match repeats ooo I am a match just waiting to be lit I am a room filled with darkness You are the light The flicker of the switch You're choosing us from the pile of the matches You're choosing us from the pile of the matches Oh

Fake 02:59
Here comes Fall Autumn I outta be in class Mama told me put that guitar down son its past We've come to a new age the millenium Where people don't sing people don't play people don't stay people don't age and people don't ache Everything is Fake Six feet tall Grown about to be a man All my women I can count on one hand Mama told me if I break it better fix it back and stay together We've come to a new age the millenium Where people don't sing people don't play people don't stay people don't age and people don't ache Everything is Fake

Bawl 03:24
I can't decide which way is wrong Both keep leading me on so I sing myself to sleep Only one path left My decision tonight but I know its not right So I tease myself for peace Bawl Doing everything right At least whats plain to the sight But the weight towers high & I give from underneath Only to find I'm simply mirroring them Pull my roots from the stem If this is me I don't wanna be me Bawl Oh you wanted all these things for me & I had nothing to give in return Bawl

Silly Sam 04:56
Listen listen to what they are trying to say Hear them they are just breeding & feeding their way See them look & envision your self in their place Souls are bleeding because we beat them again & again & we say that we want it all to change But we won't have it any other way We say that we want it all to change But we won't have it any other way If we listen to what they had to say We could heal us we're a dying species We say that we want it all to change But we won't have it any other way If we listen to what they had to say We could heal us we're a dying species Listen listen to the little voice in your head Hear it it's weaning and feening to spit out the bad Oh release it piss it and spit it seat it out your glands They'll believe it when you can show them that you give a damn & we say that we want it all to change But we won't have it any other way We say that we want it all to change But we won't have it any other way If we listen to what they had to say We could heal us we're a dying species We say that we want it all to change But we won't have it any other way If we listen to what they had to say We could heal us we're a dying species Oh oh oh ooo oh oh Oh oh oh ooo oh oh Oh oh oh ooo oh oh Oh oh oh ooo oh oh We say that we want it all to change But we won't have it any other way If we listen to what they had to say We could heal us we're a dying species We say that we want it all to change But we won't have it any other way If we listen to what they had to say We could heal us we're a dying species

Whoo oo oo ooo oo who oo who oo Whoo oo oo Open my eyes on the floor never thought I'd be here today Hunting shoes from the footprints left on my face How long have I been crawling this way to my feet watch me stumble I'm not humble but I'm picking up pace & the lies just add a little more taste My time is here but the mud keeps trudging me in place & They said we're not gonna make it But we're well on our way & they're behind our backs & They said we couldn't be famous But were well on our way & we're not turning back Unsealing my lips before the suns I shout and scare the devil away To feed this seed I need just a trickle of faith Stepping over sleeping sisters Hoping I'm not living this way Skipping stone with a vision of collision With the primes of our days Running parallel to giants that are making our shade Our shade before the suns & They said we're not gonna make it But we're well on our way & they're behind our backs & They said we couldn't be famous but were well on our way & we're not turning back We are wanted for the suns for the suns We are one before the suns for the suns We are all want it for the suns for the suns We all won before the suns for the suns We are wanted for the suns for the suns We are one before the suns for the suns We are all want it for the suns for the suns We all won before the suns for the suns Hey! & They said we're not gonna make it But we're well on our way & they're behind our backs & They said we couldn't be famous But were well on our way & we're not turning back
