Track Name: Hide Or Seek
Tell me what you're running from
Tell me what you would like to become
Overnight inject your life with fun
First, tell me what you're running from

I'mma help you dry your eyes
Teach you how to fly again
You can run or hide
Safety in the lion's den

Girls, money, or uncut drugs?
Yes you can pick more than one.
Make sure you pay attention
Slow it down what you running from?

I'mma help you dry your eyes
Teach you how to fly again
You can run or hide
Safety in the lion's den

You think you're safe but you're missing out.
Are you protected or just tapping out?
Don't be scared to display your scars.
Where you're at will make you who you are.
You think you're safe but you're missing out.
Are you protected or just tapping out?
Don't be scared to display your scars.
Where you're at will make you who you are, and

every wish granted makes you change
brings you closer to the end of the game
hold on you're running too fast
gotta make this life last

I'mma help you dry your eyes
Teach you how to fly again
You can run or hide
Safety in the lion's den
Track Name: Unknown Treasures
You've got your decision
You've got your chance to be free
What we've got is no redemption
We've got no place to see things clean
As they always can be

I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't
Be made a fool again

If you play your cards correctly you're looking at safety
If you play these cards correctly; these cards are mind.

I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't
think you're hearing me.

Free me cuz I can feel the rain
And you can't feel the pain in my veins

Could you feel the pain that I'm feeling?
We could show the world our least endearing
side of me you've probably never seen
I've got not time to utter shitty terms of endearment

I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't
let you talk me down from here

Free me cuz I can feel the rain
And you can't feel the pain in my veins
Track Name: I'm Dreaming
Someone could pop this bubble
But we just don't care
No use in being frightened
Cuz we're almost there
With all these leaps we've made no worries if our children make it past 23
Someone could pinch me and I won't feel thing
I must be dreaming
I'm dreaming

Don't wake me up
I just went to sleep
The world is getting colder
and it seems bad to me

He taught her genocide then told his daughter,
"shield your eyes this is for your own good"
"Daddy's killing do you really want to live or die?"
(from the daughter)
"What kind of choice is this my life is no more important than his or especially yours."
(from the father)
"Daddy's killing darling do you really want to live or die?"

Don't wake me up
I just went to sleep
The world is getting colder
and it seems bad to me
Track Name: James
Swimmin' in a sea of shame makes you this way.
Look at the reflection do you know this face?
Thinkin' will you ever change makes me this way.
Using introspection yes I know this face, it's not mine.

Tell me what you think you're living for
I know it ain't worth nothing
Tell me what you think you're living for
I know it ain't worth nothing

Would you, could you ever give a damn?
You're burning this bridge
You're not doing shit
Did you put your finger on the phrase?
That's unfortunate. I'm not buying it.

Charades gone on long enough, don't you know?
I can't make it twist
I'm not forcing it.

Tell me what you think you're living for
I know it ain't worth nothing
Tell me what you think you're living for
I know it ain't worth nothing
Track Name: Best Day Ever
This song is surely about a man
Having the greatest day ever
Sun is shining,
Bills are paid,
There ain't no traffic now
Never
In his wildest dreams there isn't anything
That could make him feel like he's any weaker
That could make him sell himself any cheaper
Oh, not even one million stop lights in a row
He's not even holding on
Hold on.

Everyone is racing towards the same thing
But, really what we wait for is a break
Everyone is racing towards the same thing
But, really what we wait for is a break

He walked up to a homeless man
Saw he was shaking coins in a can
So he scooped him up by his scruff
said, "See man I've had enough!
I want to help you, but I can't.
You gotta make a choice
Gotta take a stand
Can't nobody carry you, but I sure keep on trying
At least until the day that I'm dying
And no one knows when that time is
I guess we should find the time to make friends"

Everyone is racing towards the same thing
But, really what we wait for is a break
Everyone is racing towards the same thing
But, really what we wait for is a break

I wonder if we all jumped up could we make the world stop

I don't want to be a preacher man
Don't wanna be just a constituent
I'm just happy I can breathe again
I'm just happy I can see your faces when they smile
Could you hold that pose for just a while

While

Everyone is racing towards the same thing
But, really what we wait for is a break
Everyone is racing towards the same thing
But, really what we wait for is a break
Track Name: Don't Stop
How can you be so god damn stupid? 
Are you losing, have you lost it? 
You're just quitting, it's not easy. 
Selling out, I call it sleazy.
Oh can you feel my heart, it is pulsating. 
It beats harder than four trains. 
Drums will pump it straight to heaven. 
It pumps harder than four trains.
Crashing down, all around me, envelopes my soul inside it, 
rhythms and music, make my whole world turn. 
I can't wait for the world to give me my turn.
Track Name: Machine feat. Trace William Cowen
Let your voice out/shout it through these walls
Let your guns out/shout it out
Who’s in control now?/shout it through these walls
In control now/shout it out
Don’t push me down/you don’t hold me up
Don’t force me ‘round
I’m living you’re dying/what’s the use of fighting the war it will become

Don’t bother me I’ve purchased a blast-you-back-in-half-a-second-flat yeah
Don’t bother me I’ve purchased a
It’s my life/I can’t have it if I want to
It’s your life/take it if I want to
Use it to protect you/Use it to infect you
Source of entertainment/pits a family ‘gainst it’s next crew
You can’t hold me down/You won’t shut me up
Don’t give a fuck
No use in trying/No use denying
I make the world a better place
Don’t bother me I’ve purchased a blast-you-back-in-half-a-second-flat yeah
