Incubus- Make Yourself
PRIVILEGE
Isn't it strange that a gift could be an enemy Isn't it weird that a privilege could feel like a chore Maybe it's me, but this life isn't going anywhere Maybe if we looked hard enough we could find a back door Find yourself a back door I see you in line dragging your feet You have my sympathy The day you were born you were born free That is your privilege Isn't it strange that the man standing in front of me Doesn't have a clue why he's waiting or what he's waiting for Maybe it's me but I'm sick of wasting energy Maybe if I look in my heart, I can find a back a door Find yourself a back door I see you in line dragging your feet You have my sympathy The day you were born you were born free That is your That is your privilege Find yourself a back door I see you in line dragging your feet You have my sympathy The day you were born you were born free That is your privilege I see you in line dragging your feet You have my sympathy The day you were born you were born free That is your That is your privilege
NOWHERE FAST
Will I ever get to, to where it is that I am going Will I ever follow through with what I... with what I have planned I guess it's possible, that I have been a bit distracted And the directions for me are a lot less in demand. In demand. Will I ever get to where I'm going If I do will I know when I'm there If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah Would I even care I would. I take a look around, it's evident the scene has changed. And there are times when I feel improved, improved upon the past. And there are times when I can't seem to understand at all. And yes it seems as though I'm going nowhere really fucking fast. Nowhere fast. Will I ever get to where I'm going If I do will I know when I'm there If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah Would I even care I would. I would. I would. Will I ever get to where I'm going If I do, will I know when I am there If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah Would I even care I would. I would. I would. I would. I would.
CONSEQUENCE
You blink and you miss a beat, keep one of your eyes open at all times You think that your on the brink, the shit hasn't even begun to hit the fan The consequence you'll see will be stranger than a gang of drunken mimes The situation has a stink better clear the air before your son becomes a man We all want something we know can not have...have You think everything's been augmented that you have been left so far behind I think for sure next time you should wear a pair of eyes in the back of your head The consequence you've seen has been stranger than Sci-Fi of any kind The situation baffles me, I guess it's true you too are one of the walking dead Better think fast, fast, cuz you never know what's coming round the bend You better not blink, oh blink, the consequence is a bigger word than you think It's bigger than you or me, You or me, You or me You or me Better think fast, fast, cuz you never know what's coming round the bend You better not blink, oh blink, the consequence is a bigger word than you think It's bigger than you or me, You or me, You or me
THE WARMTH
I'd like to close my eyes and go numb But there's a cold wind coming from The top of the highest high rise today It's not a breeze cuz it blows hard Yes and it wants me to discard the The humanity I know, watched the warmth blow away So don't let the world bring you down Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold Remember why you came and while you're alive Experience the warmth before you grow old So do you think I should adhere To that pressing new frontier And leave in my wake, a trail of fear Should I hold my head up high And throw a wrench and spokes by I'm leaving the air behind me clear So don't let the world bring you down Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold Remember why you came and while you're alive Experience the warmth before you grow old So don't let the world bring you down Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold Remember why you came and while you're alive Experience the warmth before you grow old Before you grow old

MAKE YOURSELF
If I hadn't made me, I would've been made somehow If I hadn't assembled myself, I'd have fallen apart by now If I hadn't made me, I'd be more inclined to bow Powers that be, would have swallowed me up But that's more than I can allow Bow, aww yeah If you let them make you, they'll make you paper mache At a distance you're strong, until the wind comes Then you crumble and blow away If you let them fuck you, there will be no fore-play Rest assured, they'll screw you complete ''til your ass is blue and gray You should make amends with you If only for better health, better health But if you really want to live Why not try, and make yourself Make yourself Make yourself If I hadn't made me, I'd have fallen apart by now I won't let them make me, It's more than I can allow So when I make me, I won't be paper mache And if I fuck me, I'll fuck me my own way POW, fuck me in my own way POW, fuck me in my own way POW, fuck me in my own way Fuck me in my own way You should make amends with you If only for better health, better health But if you really want to live Why not try, and make yourself Make yourself Make yourself Make yourself Make yourself
DRIVE
Sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague Haunting mass appeal Lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there With open arms and open eyes yeah Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive, oh oh It's driven me before, it seems to be the way That everyone else get around Lately, I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself, my light is found Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there With open arms and open eyes yeah Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there Would you choose water over wine Hold the wheel and drive Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there With open arms and open eyes yeah Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there
CLEAN
Today, everything was fine fine fine Until roundabout quarter to 9, suddenly I found myself in a bind, a bind Was it something I said Something I read And manifest that's getting you down Don't you dare come to bed with that ambiguous look in your eye I'd sooner sleep by an open fire and wake up fried Say what you will Say what you mean No, you could never offend Your dirty words come out clean, clean Tomorrow, what price will I pay Could I make it all up to you by serving coffee for two in bed, would you then give me the time of day I need a map of your head, translated into English so I can learn to not make you frown Feel better if you vent, put your frustrations into four letter words and let them out on mine The most weathered ears in town! Say what you will Say what you mean No, you could never offend Your dirty words come out clean Clean (x6) Say what you will Say what you mean No, you could never offend Your dirt words come out clean Say what you will Say what you mean No, you could never offend Your dirty words come out clean, clean
BATTLESTAR SCRALATCHICA
I MISS YOU
To see you when I wake up, is a gift I didn't think could be real To know that you feel the same, as I do, is a Three-fold utopian dream You do something to me That I can't explain So would I be out of line, If I said I miss you. I see your picture, I smell your skin on, the empty pillow next to mine You have only been gone ten days, but already I am wasting away I know I'll see you again Whether far or soon But I need you to know, that I care And I miss you
PARDON ME
Pardon me while I burst Pardon me while I burst A decade ago, I never thought I would be. A twenty three on the verge of spontaneous combustion woe is me But I guess that it comes with the territory. An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity. I need you to hear. I need you to see. That I have had all I can take And exploding seems like a definite possibility To me So Pardon me while I burst into flames. I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games So Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same. Not, two days ago I was having a look in a book And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees I said I can relate Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication as a welcomed vacation from. The burdens of the planet earth, like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D... And thinking so much differently. Pardon me while I burst into flames. I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same. Never be the same...yeah. Pardon me while I burst into flames. Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me. So pardon me while I burst into flames. I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games So pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same. Pardon me, never be the same. Yeah
OUT FROM UNDER
To resist is to piss in the wind, anyone who does will end up smelling Knowing this why do I defy Cuz my inner voice is yelling There is a fist pressing against, anyone who thinks something compelling Our intuit we're taught to deny And our soul we're told is for selling Get out from under them Resist and multiply Get out from under precipice Bless and see the sky
