01 Personality Plus

You’re everywhere I go.  At the store, at the disco
Don’t care to talk to me.  Is there a problem being friendly?

Personality plus – is what I’m calling you
Personality plus – what did life do to you?
Personality plus – pay no attention to me
Hey personality – how about a smile please

Could it really be that life is that bad; to live it out in misery?
How’s about just pretending that you like it here? Just for me?
Back when things were black and white,
there was this thing they called being polite.
If it’s not too much to ask could you try it -
just this once, just for me?

Alright I’ll give you one more chance,
maybe it’s just been one of those days
Or maybe you just feel worthless
and like taking it out on everybody

have you ever heard that you could fly
and it all turns out to be a lie
you only thought you had a clue

did you ever think you would live this long
and find some reason to go on
maybe there’s promise after all

it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
trying to make myself have fun
it hurts whenever I try to move.
I only want to be near you

I must be the dumbest boy alive.
Because I thought that I could fly
I’ve done it before or so it seems.
Is this place real or just a dream?

I tried. I tried I tried. You can’t say I never tried.

If it takes a lifetime to forget this day it will be too soon
And if tomorrow never shows it’s face I will be with you

Cause when the morning comes, You are the only one
And when the day is long, With you I won’t go wrong
And in the summer heat, You’ll always be with me
And during winter frost, I know I won’t be lost

If you make a promise that you keep I will follow you
And when you call my name you know I’ll run I will run to you

Go ahead Disturb my life and make me cry
It’s alright To twist all my words
But you sound so absurd

People like you
They hate people like me
They all talk like you do
They just can’t let things be

Foolish little man you can’t be cool
All your friends They get a clue
So why can’t you?

These words They fall on naive ears like yours
I’ve spelled it out Time and again
Please listen oh dear friend

It’s not a game to me
It’s not a joke, you see
It’s not a time to take things lightly.

Keep in mind this home is not your own
When it’s gone you’ll know you’re all alone

Is life coincidence?
Every incident?
If so then life is grim, my friend.

Silent. I’m floating
I cannot see but water all around
No idea where I’m going,
but I’ll be fine until I reach some ground.

The ocean it seems Isn’t big enough for me
When I’m all alone
I’m drifting out to someplace that I don’t belong
And my memories They’re now so very out of reach
I’m so far from home
For the first time in my life nothing’s wrong

Now it’s getting cold
I guess I should have thought this through
It’s dark and lonely
But now at least I’m far away from you

As I shed a tear
I realize the ones I’ve failed
Will I die alone out here?
I guess it doesn’t matter, life’s gotten stale

I should have listened when I had the chance.  

The sun is in the sky, Everything is fine
And it’s great, It’s a new day
Whenever you are here, I will be alright
Stay by me, on this new day

All alone it’s dark out there
don’t know what ahead
but I will not be scared

I’m someplace now it seems
It’s someplace special
like I’ve seen in my dreams.

I thought I told you not to come back to this place again
I thought that we had worked things out,
so that this nightmare would end

Get out. I know it’s hard
but I don’t need you in my life right now
Get out. It must sound odd
but please just leave. I need to be alone.

Maybe I need to speak more clearly: do not talk to me no more.
You had your chance and you let me down.
Now it’s over, there’s the door

I know it because you have shown it
You’re perfect in every way
I mean it, some will never see it
But you’re the one I love today

Please forgive all these people and
Restore their hearts for you

02 It’s Only Pop

We’ve somewhat of a new sound going, it sounds familiar but it isn’t clear
Just what exactly is this all about, and who said this was welcome here?
I wanted to explain to everyone it’s only pop, but you won’t listen
you just walk away from this but I’ll still persist and

The music takes you for a drop
So turn it up, it’s only pop
The music makes you want to dance
If you sit down, you’ve lost your chance 

Another boring night alone, you turn to switch the hi-fi on
But nothing new can be heard there, and then you hear your favorite song
When music is the thing you need, you only need to listen to the
sound of things around you living.
It’s only pop and it’s non stop

03 For So Long

It’s one more thing I hadn’t noticed before
Had I realized it, I’d tell you for sure
I’d open my eyes if I knew
Come on let me help you see this through

I’ve been trying for so long to talk to you
I’ve been saying for so long I’ll listen to you

How’d you expect me to understand
The way you’re living is just not in the plan
I’m only living the life I know
Just give me the word and I’ll let go

04 Down to Earth

When you talk to me don’t tell me that you can’t believe
When you take me out, don’t try and tell me what life’s all about

You’ve got a hold on my heart, you’ve taken my soul
But it was up to you; It’s hard to realize the truth
Now I’ve tried to help, but I can’t, so I’m leaving

I thought I was so cool, I had it all together
For once in my life, but all of it was lies
and I realized I just need to get down to earth

Why do you rationalize, put on a phony disguise
Then you critique my life, I’ll just say alright
Because I’m not the fool, You should know this isn’t school
And I’m not a child, haven’t been for a while.

05 My Synthesizer

I have life in me, like magnetic dreams
Pulled from either side, a force I can’t deny

My synthesizer talks to me
My synthesizer tells me to be free
Then it says you can’t synthesize love

Boy, you’ve got it made
Still you curse the day
If I had a heart inside
I would be alive

What do you want from me?
I’m just an old machine
I’ve got math under control
But I cannot save your soul

I never tried to take away the things you feel inside
You locked them up yourself
You can deny the things I say to you tonight
But my program tells the truth and it’s saying you need help 

06 From one ballad to another

We’ve made it this far so I’ll tell you, exactly what is on my mind
It’s not like I know something you do not, I just have the extra time
I know exactly how you’re feeling, and at times I feel the same

But when you turn against the only ones who care,
that’s when sympathy turns to shame
You’ve got a great deal going for you, you’re letting it get away
Don’t delay in doing what is right, for tomorrow might be one day too late

Oh my brother, from one to another,
why must you put up a fight
And your mother who loves you like no other,
why did you make her cry last night?

Oh dear brother is this just another
time when you must have your way
Run for cover when they finally discover
all the debts you have left to pay

07 Not Tragedy

Sometimes I don’t know and I don’t care
But it’s like you’re like this all the time and you’re not going anywhere
It’s counterproductive when it’s warm but you’re cold inside
You know it’s foolishness, you can beat it if you try
So stop crying, stop hurting it’s making me feel ill
No more complaining, it’s degrading, there’s a way if you’ve got the will

Well in my mind I see
(I think it’s clear that everything is going to be alright)
This is not tradedy
(so get down off your miserable cloud and we can do things right)
Don’t make your loved ones cry
(sometimes it seems the pain is a full time occupation)
Soon you will see why
(living is a worthwhile hobby if you can stand the frustration)

It’s been a long road to get to where you are
But looking back it doesn’t seem you’ve traveled far
Don’t give up, I know it sounds stupid but it’s true
Someday these travels will bring rewards to you

08 Dead without the Drums

Imagine waking up late one morning
Everything seems normal but the beat is gone and
At first you don’t panic try to move your feet
But your legs are locked and you’re dead without the beat

How can you dance when the music is lost
and there’s silence all around?
It’s all you’ve ever known but now it’s gone
so you drop down to the ground

You scream aloud: God, what have I done?
I lived for the music now the music is gone
I’ve got no where to go what will become of me
I never stopped to think I’d be dead without the beat

I opened my eyes, this was all a nightmare
My body is shaking and I’m getting real scared
It took quite a shock but now I’m glad because
I see there’s more to life than dancing and living for the beat

09 Watch Out

Fresh. New. Sound.
We’re on a mission.
We’re coming to you.
You’d better watch out.

We’re on a mission with a fresh new sound for everyone
We’re coming to you, you’d better watch out.
We’d like to take you on a little journey into sound
Turn up the volume, you’d better watch out.

Everybody’s Moving. Everybody’s Dancing.
