level 02:31
From here on out... you're on your own I just can't handle anymore on my shoulders I'm bending backwards until I break And an aching back is all I get for my troubles What better time than right now? But I don't know if I know how... I'm on the outside looking in Standing high above the noise and the madness And I can't let you bring me down I worked too hard to get myself on the level And I don't owe you anything But I have so much to give And you want it all What better time than right now? Now that I know that I know how

backwater 02:12
Backwater creeping in... Looks like we'll have to cut this party short Flood of the century Washing away all of our hopes Drowning out our dreams We never knew we would need rescue We somehow thought we were Immune to the deluge We were so dillusional But there was nothing we could do And we lost it all But we still have each other We always have and always will As long as we're together I know we'll always find a way Where there's a will, there we'll be But you can't wash away our hopes You can't drown out our dreams Because this spirit's so much stronger Than these overflowing streams So you can flood us out of our houses You can swallow all of our gear Leave us circling the drain But you can't flush us out of here

Go ahead... storm on off Slam the door behind you Lock me out of my own room Nevermind how much I pay To keep you satisfied Or all the countless times I've tried To make you understand That I could use a helping hand 'Cause this two-way street Only seems to go one way... Your way Momma said, life is short Far too short to squander You must find your happiness Never settle for less 'Cause you can do bad by yourself You don't need nobody's help And there are no free rides Someone's gotta pay the way And this one-way street Is gonna start to go my way It's my way or the highway... Sometimes I wonder If my way and the highway Are one in the same 'Cause this direction We've been heading's leading me So far away From everyone I love And all the things I'm dreaming of And this lost highway Is gonna start to go my way It's my way or the highway

Waiting at the station Watching sunlight pour in through the window Beams spilling over cracks in the glass Feeling half empty I let the light begin to fill me up My overflowing cup can never get enough And I wait with everyone For the train to come and take me away We're on a schedule And there's no time for delay My locomotive mind Is bound by neither space nor time And if you look inside you'll find... There's a hidden destination That we don't wanna go There is a deeper meaning That we don't wanna know Striking up a conversation With the person next to me I ask them where they're headed and why She said she had no clue And anyone that says they do Is only telling you what someone else told them

whatnot 02:22
Now we know what not to do It's trial and error Troubleshoot Until we've had enough And finally learn to leave it alone Now we know what not to do We'll cut our loses Turn it loose Because we've gone too far And I can't play this game anymore You never know Just who to believe And you never can tell Who's got what tricks up their sleeve Most of the time You can't trust your own mind Who do you think you are? Well, I wouldn't put it passed you Now every night Belongs completely to me Nothing but time To do with whatever I please But now I find I can't trust a single solitary soul And I can only throw so far
