Districts 04:16
Back to the first place Where I met you You were okay I was fine, just fine When I saw your face I'm addicted to your smile Colour my life - make it worthwhile Our song goes On and on Under the street lamps I was shaking as I passed out Thinking of you, helpless without a clue What's this I'm feeling? As I'm floating through the districts of my life I'm wondering And I walk On and on On and on

Purple 04:10
I never asked you to be mine That would happen in a different time I never asked if you were free Never wanted you as a part of me Always Always I never wanted to be told The people I love were to be stoned I never sought to be unique But I was made or learned to be your freak Always Always The purple on her feet The neon on the streets Stars over my head The nights I spent in foreign beds The people that I’ve loved Different but they still bleed The comfort from the lights Illuminate our plight Always (turn around, turn around today) Always (turn around, turn around) The neon on the streets Lead me to where she weeps Always (turn around, turn around today) Always (turn around, turn around) The stars up in the sky Are our only alibi

Elephants 04:29
I watch the tears roll down your face (But I have to leave you behind) I sorely miss your warm embrace (But I have to leave you behind) Your trunk is wrapped around my face (turn away while you have the time) Please let me go, from your caress (turn away you’re no longer mine) And all I know (she loves me, she loves me) And all I need (Is to set her free) And all I see (little children making her angry) And all I want (uncage the elephant) I watch her legs under give way (everything’s gonna be just fine) I have to stop her in this rage (everything’s gonna be just fine) My gun is pointed at your face Ill set you free, from this place And all I know (she loves me, she loves me) And all I need (Is to set her free) And all I see (little children making her angry) And all I want (uncage the elephant) You have to go You have to And all I know (she loves me, she loves me) And all I need (Is to set her free) And all I see (little children making her angry) And all I want (uncage the elephant)

So here we go again Another day knee deep in grains Earning just a fifth of what you pay Not as if life let me have a say Didn’t get a chance to educate But I forged on for my children’s sake Sent to school to earn above my rate But they spent my sweat on bags instead Just settle down somewhere Put the kettle to boil and stare At the paint peel off the walls Why couldn’t we love what we had And look at all these smiles They bought with hunger, can’t walk a mile In shoes I wore until they broke Just sell my soul, the TV spoke Didn’t get a chance to teach them well Bent over my life was hell Friends I knew saved up for age I threw my life, in the cage Just settle down somewhere Put the kettle to boil and stare At the paint peel off the walls Why couldn’t we love what we had As I write my memoirs Forgiven but not forgotten All of us at the table Watch me make my life stable

The cotton candy vendors Tryna sell me something sweet Pink fluff on a stick What could this possibly be This is no conspiracy (no time for consequences) This is just diabetes (no time left for us) And I just can’t get enough Of that sickly sugar fluff One more can’t hurt me I am perfectly healthy This is no conspiracy (no time for consequences) This is just diabetes (no time left, woo!) This is no conspiracy (no time for consequences) This is just diabetes (no time left for us) This stomachache reminds me Of a less melancholic time When I didn’t need my sweets The CCC is real This is no conspiracy (no time for consequences) This is just diabetes (no time left for us)

Rome 03:15
Sons and daughters gather round It's time to say goodbye He'll find a path And never look behind But when your back is turned All is ablaze Have you forgotten What it's like to be raised I might be lost But don't expect me to see me fall All roads lead to Rome Expect to see me Roots, shoots, and baby flowers Concrete soil with cement towers Hate what you see But this made me Yeah when you lose your sight Don't be afraid it's just night Breathe the air that we did And you will not lose road I might be lost But don't expect to see me to fall All roads lead to Rome Expect to see me home
