1. Whatever I Fear

   There's almost nothing left
   You eat my kind for breakfast
   What did I expect
   To come here and find anyone?
   Find open arms to greet me
   And friends to feed me
   I sicken myself so much
   And you eat my kind for breakfast
   You eat my kind

   Whatever I fear the most is whatever I see before me
   Whenever I let my guard down, whatever I was ignoring
   Whatever I fear the most is whatever I see before me
   Whatever I have been given, whatever I have been

   Seeing myself this way
   I am a monster I believe
   And seeing is believing
   Is there no doubt left
   When I wake up I poison myself
   And poison leaves no appetite
   I sicken myself so much
   I sicken myself so

   CHORUS

   Did we expect these things to change
   By waking up and suddenly there they are
   And all I need's a starting place
   And nothing ever seemed so hard

   CHORUS

2. Come Down

   Open up and let me in
   I was lucky to live, don't need to win
   Forgave myself and if that's a sin
   It's not enough you'd even know it
   You did right to call my bluff
   'Cause I won't say when I have had enough
   And I worked so hard to need this stuff
   And you tried so long to just ignore it

   Won't you come down where I am
   Words are hidden, understand

   I won't repeat myself again
   I will not repeat myself again
   It's another promise d.o.a.
   And despite my every hope
   There is no truth behind my best intentioned oath

   CHORUS

   Won't you come down
   Been away too long, I know I have

   Won't you come down, help me stand
   There is healing in your hands
   Won't you come down where I am
   Words all leave me
   Been away too long
   I know I've been away too long
   I know I have

3. Rings

   Are you the plane
   That shapes the board
   Part of a history
   Smoothed and worn

   Oh the windy weather
   Dry spells, brushfire

   Isn't it strange
   To see my life
   You must cut me down
   To look inside

   Oh the simple pleasures
   This ring tells of rain
   This one, summers
   Good years, nightmares

   How is it I remember
   Knowing that I would live forever
   Isn't it strange
   How truth can change

   Oh the windy weather
   This ring tells of rain
   This one, summers
   Dry spells, brushfire

4. Dam Would Break

   Is it this place that makes me fall from you
   Forget the words that once rang so true
   Did we expect that life was ever fair, my God I sowed a field of rose and reaped a whipping rod

   And everything I've held too tight inside
   Could make a part of me die
   And if my lips could only speak the name
   The dam would break

   What is this ice that gathers 'round my heart
   To stop the flood of warmth before it even starts
   It would make me blind to what I thought would always be
   The only constant in the world for me

   And every hour of every day
   I need to fight from pulling away
   And if my mind could only loose the chain
   The dam would break

   For all the things I hid away
   And all the words I could not say
   The dam would break

5. Desire

   I want to be clean, I want to be whole
   I want revenge, I want control
   I want to give up, I want to give in
   Destroy all I have been
   I want to be cruel, I want to be cold
   I want a chance to sell my soul
   I want to break out, I want to dive in
   To lose myself in sin

   I don't need anything
   I'm just wanting
   Just wanting
   Desire all desire is
   Desire breeds desire
   Desire all desire is
   Desire feeds desire

   I want to scream, I want to shout
   I want to have faith and never doubt
   I want to bend, I want to break
   To sleep and never wake
   To break down walls and to escape
   Be alone and hide my face
   I want to feel, I want to touch
   Want to stop wanting it so much
   

   CHORUS [2x]

6. Don't Fade

   Lead me well, don't clear my way
   Fascinating how the pallor can stay upon your face
   When you are light like a little boy
   Flying kites and shouting to the world
   You're shouting to the world your joy

   Don't fade, you're staying here with me
   Don't fade, I need to know that someone still believes
   

   Look around, see for yourself
   He led us down and at the water's edge we knelt
   Petals in the lake and red upon my face
   She's crying as we pray
   And it all comes down to money, again
   How could you forsake the love of God that way

   CHORUS [2x]

"A few years back, Laurel and I went to India and we had this absolutely terrible Christmas day in a little town called Bushgar (sp?). It's this beautiful little town with a sacred lake.

"We were just kind of walking around and this guy came up and said 'hey, I'm a Brahman, I'm a Brahman! Come down, I want to lead you in prayer, I want to lead you in puja (sp?).' And we're getting used to people coming up and doing stuff for money, and we're like, 'no, it's fine.'

"'No, it's your special day! It's Christmas! Please, please come! Please come!' We're like, 'ok, ok, we'll come down.'

"And he went and he got some flower petals, and some red paste for bindi (sp?). And he took us down and started leading us in prayer, and it was really wonderful. We were repeating everything he said. It was just the most beautiful, serene moment. It was absolutely incredible. Laurel was crying, it was just full of beauty.

"And as he was speaking about city life, all these various things, he suddenly threw in, 'And I will give you one hundred dollars.' It kind of ruined the mood.

"Anyway, that's a little bit about that. It kind of inspired this song. I went around feeling like shit for days afterwards." -Glen

7. Little Man, Big Man

   Little man big man who came first
   What is the measure of our worth
   If there was a storm rolled in
   Who'd run inside
   Who'd go walking

   Little man big man what's inside
   It's all in the places where we find our pride
   If there was a soul lost by the road
   Who'd pass by
   Who'd take it home

   Where is the beast lying
   Is there a beast hiding
   

   Little man big man who is who
   It's all in the damage that our toys can do
   If there was a window pane
   Who'd throw stones
   Who'd walk away

   CHORUS

   Are we moving
   Are we learning

   Little man big man fade away
   It's all in the violence of the games we play
   It's all in the violence of the games we play
   It's all in the love we give today

8. Throw it All Away

   Take your cautionary tales
   And take your incremental gain
   And all the sycophantic games
   And throw 'em all away
   Burn your TV in your yard
   And gather 'round it with your friends
   And warm your hands upon the fire
   And start again

   Take the story you've been sold
   The lies that justify the pain
   The guilt that weighs upon your soul
   And throw 'em all away

   Tear up the calendar you bought
   And throw the pieces to the sky
   Confetti falling down like rain
   Like a parade to usher in your life

   Take the dreams that should've died
   The ones that kept you lying awake
   When you should've been all right
   And throw 'em all away

   With the time I waste on the life I never had
   I could've turned myself into a better man

   There is nothing you can buy
   And there is nothing you can save
   To fill the hole inside your heart
   So throw it all away

   Help me to empty this house
   The wool i've gathered all these days
   And thought I couldn't do without
   And throw it all away

9. Amnesia

   Here, I need your help
   Deliver me from myself
   Take me where i'm wanted
   Or make me someone else
   Never mind what they said
   Forget about the things you read
   It was something you'll never know
   Never see, never understand
   Just leave it now if you can

   Tell me
   When they come for you
   Who will there be to speak
   And when they come for you
   Who will there be left to speak for you?
   

   The final solution's back in style
   We are the ones letting it ride
   I never knew we were so blind
   Amnesia in comfort, so unkind
   

   CHORUS

10. Little Buddha

    Life is suffering
    Tee-hee, ha-ha
    Life is suffering
    Tee-hee, ha-ha
    Cold and shuddering
    Tee-hee, ha-ha
    Cruel and pummeling
    Tee-hee, ha-ha

    Smile on little buddha, smile on
    Little buddha, smile on
    It's only illusion, then it's gone

    Lost and struggling
    Tee-hee, ha-ha
    Life is suffering
    Tee-hee, ha-ha

    Smile on little buddha, smile on
    Little buddha, smile on
    It's only illusion, then you're gone

11. Crazy Life

    Anyway now, it don't seem right
    He is in there and you're on the outside
    Over pine ridge to wounded knee
    There's blood on the ground as far as you see
    Crazy life

    In the air i'm sensing a change of weather
    In the end the path is clear

    Does anyone remember here
    Did you all think he'd just disappear
    Crazy life
    What've you done with Peltier
    Who did you think you'd taken away
    Crazy life

    In the air i'm sensing a change of the weather
    In the end the path is clear

    Burying won't stop it breathing forever
    Underground it takes to root

    Anyway now, it don't seem right
    He is in there and you're on the outside
    What've you done with Peltier
    Who did you think you'd taken away

    It's not over...

12. All Things in Time

    Call me up when you need
    Strangers often deceive
    And there's something so freeing
    To call out a name
    And someone's believing
    I've been changing my mind
    Through with looking behind
    It's a crash course in life
    The best you can do is pass by
    No getting out alive

    I'll hold a light for you to see
    All things in time, all you'll ever need

    Something I can't explain
    Keeps me running, afraid
    And every day
    Looks me in the face and says
    "Who'd you think you were, anyway?"

    If you'll hold a light for me to see
    All things in time, all we'll ever need

    Well, you told me so
    That we'd seen this all before
    So what is it keeps us coming back for more?

    I'll hold a light for you to see
    All things in time, all you'll ever need
    All things in time, all we'll ever need

13. Silo Lullabye

    Green button like a lantern
    Illuminates this cavern
    And outside nothing matters anymore
    My instinct won't deceive me
    My senses will not leave me
    When there's no one left to grieve me
    I won't mourn
    

    Good night, don't fear
    I always will watch over you my dear
    Good night, sleep well
    I'll see you with the rest of them in hell

    My hand won't shake the console
    My handcuff will not rattle
    As I win the final battle of all wars
    And down beneath the ocean
    I'll dream of wings in motion
    A blinding glory
    That'll show 'em what freedom's for
    

    CHORUS

    And so, for now, farewell...
