Central Park 05:16
Quiet! Now is not the time for subtleties The air is thick with the stench of uncertainty Come with me now to central park We'll watch the skyline as it melts into the sun and for all i know I could be searching on and on trying to find something intangible Your fading eyes and awkward smile as my hands slowly slip away But if i should decide to lose it all, you know I'll throw it all away just to find all this time I was the only one who's been giving up slowly But we must fight for what we love But for all I know, I could be searching on and on trying to find something intangible Your fading eyes and awkward smile as my hands slowly slip away and ive wasted so much time here only to find out I already have what I need I watch as the insipid sky opens up, swallowing us whole and I feel my hands cracking to the fingertips and I slow down to make sense of all of this and my eyes they look for a sign but my hands are always moving like the turning gears of time But if we stay, if we choose to fight you know we've always found a way to make it out alright and to the ones we loved, we're sorry but we had to go cause all we want isn't always what we have and what we have is who we are

Feel Good 04:56
As I stand with my mouth wide open air only retiring from my lips my words escaping from the alleyways of my subconcious sliping aimlessly, light puring unto my cold pale skin oh what euphony morning has brought in upon us but I resign everything i am all of the world seems to speak for me I try to circumvent but the noises are deafening So I can say now my time has come to decide what's wrong and right without questioning why I would hide behind this disguise all my life If I had it my way I sever these ties, disconnect all the contact but this time I went let you in too far and given it all back but for one I should be the only one content with who I am and what I want to be not for you to decide never again will I be so close to understand the frailty of human life, the complexity of giving

Ive got a plan, where we give up everything we ever held dear to us Just to make a point that once we're gone theres nothing left to give What makes a man so resiliant to resist others aid If our lives have a deeper meaning tell me have I been meaning all I've done Well what is the right way anyway? Tell me is there a right way anyway? So they've conjured the rules and dictated how things should be but the most important things learned are the ones that our fathers have taught us: Don't take advantage of the weak and helpless, Find a way to carry on, Find a way to love and let go But me and my father, we talked about life and death If my life has another meaning to what Ive done I retract it Oh my god, I feel so alone in this But if I only knew it better, Id know that everyones been there before Oh and this light bestowed upon us all, feels more like a burden to heavy to carry So I toss and turn in the saddest of dances only to find no, not one resolution only time will heal what I've cursed But your singing this song to me, and somehow it's bringing peace and showing me there's so much more to life than this So me and my father talked about life and death If there has been a deeper meaning, then ive been meaning to find it all along Oh my god, I feel so alone in this But if I only knew it better I'd know I my had taught me this before Father, what have you taught me?

Old Man 05:52
someone please tell me the path of least resistance should I take the high or low road? what's the difference? black and white are the only roads I've traveled on but the greys will fill in as I reach my final dawn and what will suffice the time I spent being a kindred soul well as I age I've become a nuisance to the ones I consoled It's just a matter of time until time itself runs out on me I've been waiting for so long, I've been trying to believe that everything is fine, but I've done is waste my time so I will teeter on and fathom this temptation cause I've established myself In this awkward fascination where I sit and mope about a past now lost, a future that is dismal, when I should just focus on the now It so easy to see what we could not believe only the oldest men know the truth, only time will tell

To my future self, Im sorry for what Ive done, for harm I have caused to you. In time you'll see that I only meant to help bring truth to the times we could've controlled But you said that we could find solace in the simple things and all i can remember is how it used to be; but now that seems to be a fleeting feeling I used to think I knew everything but now I've found out I've known nothing all along with our roots buried deep into this soil, who is left to sing our song? Won't you sing along? But we could fight the sickness, the disease, the poverty; it was so simple to conceive But now we just feel so out of touch our timing was everything Hold on now, you're not giving up til' im giving up but im giving up.

Feel the sun, the very essence of the earth's warth kissing my skin, bringing me forth release me into the air, into a world where I can be as one all this time I've been searching for what I already have I don't need these things and know that I'm better this and now I'm free all this time we've been searching for all the things that make us we are all this time we've been searching for what we already have
