A wasted day in Mexico. I lost it! Where did my family go? I botched it! Why am I face down in the sand? A mystery! All I know this day is done, taken from me! My memories erased Confusion on my face Now I'm in outer space Get Mulder on the case A wasted day in Mexico. I lost it! Where did my family go? I botched it! Why am I face down in the sand? A mystery! All I know this day is done, taken from me! I made a small mistake Could happen to anyone Maybe you can relate? I just wanted to have fun A wasted day in Mexico. I lost it! Where did my family go? I botched it! Why am I face down in the sand? A mystery! All I know this day is done, taken from me! Taken from me! Taken from me! Taken from me!

You're already living alone You might as well go Take back some control Remember who you need to know Turn it up, just like you always did Break the rules cuz they're meant to bend Don't look back, because you never should Bring up the contrast on you feeling good Yeah, all you have is time That clock will not unwind Don't waste another minute You'll go on without you in it Turn it up, just like you always did Break the rules cuz they're meant to bend Don't look back, because you never should Bring up the contrast on you feeling good

All for nothing Seems like somethings missing But I don't care if I ever feel it We're the sum of so many choices And some are good and some regretful Hallelujah, I don't miss the bad times When I carried every burden It's careless, 
the way we undress How we leave things unspoken Yeah, and it's mindless How it defines us Until all our bonds are broken 
All for nothing Seems like somethings missing But I don't care if I ever feel it We're the sum of, so many choices And some are good and some regretful Hallelujah, I don't miss the bad times When I carried every burden It's hopeless The lack of protest How we just go on like it's nothing Just keep living And stop pretending That we miss our puzzle pieces 
All for nothing Seems like somethings missing But I don't care if I ever feel it We're the sum of so many choices And some are good and some regretful Hallelujah, I don't miss the bad times When I carried every burden

It's not right, but I don't believe in anyone When they say you can be Anything you want And I don't know, if you Saw that curtain closing down If you do, you might feel Like no one's left around Never wanted much of anything Spent all I had on panicking If I could go back now, Might change some things Spend some time with you not wondering It's not right, but I don't believe in anyone When they say you can be Anything you want And I don't know, if you Saw that curtain closing down If you do, you might feel Like no one's left around I'm not looking for some sympathy Not asking you to carry me I could use some help remembering What was it that you meant to me? It's not right, but I don't believe in anyone When they say you can be Anything you want And I don't know, if you Saw that curtain closing down If you do, you might feel Like no one's left around

Lay Low 03:03
I never gave it that much thought The future me Autopilot more often than not A foggy sea Then one day I opened my eyes And what did I see? A building on fire My whole life collapsing in on me I tried not to panic Lay low, as my father used to say I picked myself up and I tried to get out my way Do you know what I mean? The future seems so far away Until it's not Some memories get erased While some burn hot Then one day I opened my eyes And what did I see? A building on fire My whole life collapsing in on me I tried not to panic Lay low, as my father used to say I picked myself up and I tried to get out my way Do you know what I mean? I used to worry about death And consciousness Now I'm concerned about Lacking confidence Then one day I opened my eyes And what did I see? A building on fire My whole life collapsing in on me I tried not to panic Lay low, as my father used to say I picked myself up and I tried to get out my way Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean?!

Bug Season 02:54
I'll take a cloudy day over sunshine Yeah, it can rain all day I really don't mind So long, summer You won't be missed Bug bites and sunburns And girls we never kissed Goodbye summer Let's bring on the gray Pick out a sweater It's gonna be a cloudy day I just don't understand the obsession They want the sun and sand It's like a religion So long, summer You won't be missed Bug bites and sunburns And girls we never kissed Goodbye summer Let's bring on the gray Pick out a sweater It's gonna be a cloudy day The leaves are turning brown and I'm smiling I've got my windows down I'm in my glory So long, summer You won't be missed Bug bites and sunburns And girls we never kissed Goodbye summer Let's bring on the gray Pick out a sweater It's gonna be a cloudy day

Donkeys and elephants dance on your graves They gas you and beat you and keep you enslaved Time to put your heart in a faraday bag Before they steal your soul and try to sell you their flag Everybody knows from John Lydon prose That there's no future for the poor and old And believing in them is rookie mistake cause they killed Jesus, and John and MLK Time to give these parties the Irish goodbye Take a drink, my friends, cause here's mud in your eye When you pull that lever try not to choke Because no matter who wins, we're the butt of the joke So to the lovers, the dreamers, and ne'er do wells It's time to take a breath and believe in yourself Do what you want and you can still be free You can build in your heart a new economy But some s--t is gonna be taken down Maybe some of it will even burn to the ground They'll tell you it's treason, that you're no good But they said the same thing to Robin Hood Maybe a new bell can still be rung And maybe some new songs can still be sung Who cares if they go to outer space? At least they won't be here to f--k up this place! And everybody knows from John Lydon prose That there's so no future for the poor and old

Change your mind What's the difference? Just more avoidance And disappointment Don't get carried away It's just a moment Here today and gone All will pass regardless Change your mind What's the difference? Just more avoidance And disappointment Don't abandon ship The storm is passing You can't give up Don't stop believing Change your mind What's the difference? Just more avoidance And disappointment We're all dying each day No use denying Embracing all we've lost We must keep trying Change your mind What's the difference? Just more avoidance And disappointment

You gotta know I'm crawling out of my skin We're just getting started But I don't wanna begin 
What did I go and get myself into this time? How can I just black out pretend I lost my mind? What am I doing and how did I get this way? I wish I could forget the stupid things you say If all else fails Just back out of the room If you keep talking this Will surely be my doom What did I go and get myself into this time? How can I just black out pretend I lost my mind? What am I doing and how did I get this way? I wish I could forget the stupid things you say You might just want to lower your expectations 
What did I go and get myself into this time? How can I just black out, pretend I lost my mind? What am I doing and how did I get this way? I wish I could forget the stupid things you say

Burn 03:09
Another violent night Streets filled with desperate people With hope that they can find A time we're truly equal We've been here before It seems like we will never learn Blood cries out from the ground And the tables never turn Can we see outside ourselves And show some compassion now? Take our hate and burn it down We've got to unify Instead we're more divided If we could look inside Admit all we're denying We've been here before It seems like we will never learn Blood cries out from the ground And the tables never turn Can we see outside ourselves And show some compassion now? Take our hate and burn it down. Imagine all we did not see Or could not see Or will not see Let it break your heart We've been here before It seems like we will never learn Blood cries out from the ground And the tables never turn Can we see outside ourselves And show some compassion now? Take our hate and burn it down. Take our hate and burn it down!
