"Magnetizing Inrush"
[Date Stamp: January 25, 2001.]

          In a state of flux:

                    Everything is always changing
                    When you're rearranging
                    Your life to fit the box

          Residual flux:

                    Nothing is fully custom made
                    Time and dreams will always fade
                    Into the void of the box

          Hold me down if you care
          Solidly grounded and aware
          Apply a voltage and let it sear my skin
          Let me feel the current rushing in
          And lighting me up

                    You light me up
                    You always light me up
                    I need you to light me up
                    Keep lighting me up
                    We need the light to carry on

          Transient theory:

                    Everything is always changing
                    When you're rearranging
                    Your life for them and me

          Magnetic theory:

                    Nothing is fully custom made
                    Time and dreams will always fade
                    Into the impedance of me


"Step One?"
[Date Stamp: April 27, 2001.]

          Who am I to wait forever?
          When do you perceive an answer?

          And I have seen
          The greatest of dreams
          Where life wasn't deemed
          A test of our means

                    And this was all we'd ever know
                    Please tell me I'll be here tomorrow

          Why do we wait here forever?
          For an answer He may never deliver

          With rewards unseen
          The purist of dreams
          Where our lives will be
          All a fantasy

          And I have seen
          The greatest of dreams
          Where life wasn't deemed
          A test of our means

                    And this was all we'll ever know
                    Tell me I'll be here tomorrow
                    Please tell me I'll be here tomorrow

          What is the soul?
          Is there life beyond or...

                    Is this all we'll ever know?
                    Tell me I'll be here tomorrow
                    Please tell me I'll be here tomorrow


"Everything is Good"
[Date Stamp: April 13, 2001.]

          Everything I know is good today, I swear
          All in all, I feel I'm fully aware
          I swear it's all the same
          But I will take the blame
          There's no one left to shame

          Won't ever be afraid          


"Star-Delta Connection"
[Date Stamp: January 25, 2001.]

          Y
          Why do
          Why do you transfer your misery onto me
          Y
          Why do
          Why do you force your decisions onto me

                    When the stars
                    In the sky
                    Are aware of our presence
                    Aware of our lives
                    Is it all
                    We can do
                    To stay together
                    When we're obviously not meant to?

          D
          Despair
          Disparity in all that we believe and try
          D
          Despair
          Disparity in love and loss and the answer why

                    When the stars
                    See the lies
                    And tear us apart, kindly
                    Sever our ties
                    Is it all
                    We can do
                    To stay together
                    When we're obviously not meant to?

          Do you
          Believe
          That life isn't over
          Until it's conceived?
          Sometime
          When it's cold
          We'll be together
          And destroy those who stand bold

          Do you
          Believe
          In life after death
          Now what would that mean?
          That I
          Would never
          Escape from the tether
          Forever and ever, and ever? Never?
          Never?


"What's a Catch-22?"
[Date Stamp: October 3, 2000.]

          Heavy
          I'm feeling so down and heavy
          Levitate me
          Let me feel a weightless state
          For a change

                    For when it all comes down
                    It all comes down hard
                    For when it all hits the ground
                    It's an earthquake of sound

                    And I... wish to be there for you
                    But I... need to be here for me
                    It's a... catch-22
                    And I... don't even know what that means

          Empty
          I'm feeling so worthless and empty
          Rebuild me
          Let me be a new man and dream
          Of a change

                    For when the hand comes down
                    The judge comes down harsh
                    For when it all hits the ground
                    It's an earthquake of sound


"Resonance"
[Date Stamp: June 19, 2001.]

          All
          The whispers intend to beat on the head
          All
          The sentences end with words better left unsaid

              Words better left unsaid
              All the children have fled

              From fear of the unknown
              From fear of the left behind
              From fear of the resonating, palpitating, beating on the mind

                    Slavish devotion to painful emotion
                    It's a resonating sonic explosion

          All
          The whimpers intend to pound on the head
          All
          The utterances end with words better left unsaid

              Words better left unsaid
              Now all the stars have fled

              From fear of the reborn
              From fear of the redesigned
              From fear of the resonating, palpitating, pounding on the mind

                    Slavish devotion to painful emotion
                    It's a resonating sonic explosion
                    Stringent repression of rippled depression
                    It's a resonating sonic explosion

          All
          Words better left unsaid


"The Curl"
[Date Stamp: April 18, 2001.]

          I feel better than
          I've ever felt before
          I walk with confidence
          I've never felt before

          Just a little curl
          That's all it took
          Just a little curl
          To give me that necessary push
          It's an attitude thing!


"The Lesson: Never Try"
[Date Stamp: May 8, 2001.]

          Everything you do
          You know you
          Lose
          Everything we see
          You know we
          Lose

                    So I try and I try and I try
                    And I fail, I fail, yes, I fail
                    Over and over again
                    I'm a loser and I have finally learned
                    Trying is the first step towards failure
                    So I just won't try

          Everything I try
          You know I
          Lose

                    So I try and I try and I try
                    And I fail, I fail, yes, I fail
                    Over and over again
                    I'm a loser and I have finally learned
                    Trying is the first step towards failure
                    So I'm not gonna try

                    So never try


"The Fine Art of Breathing"
[Date Stamp: June 2, 2001.]

          Your God's a high profile Santa Claus
          Yet without any of the fringe benefits
          I'm too old now to believe such lies
          And I'm not concerned about eternal gifts

                    What has... He done... for me?
                    What does... belief do... for me?
                    Tell me how it'll help me to breathe
                    Tell me how it'll help me be me

          Life, death, God's will? Now let's pause
          And rethink the stories that brought us to this
          It takes faith to entrust a life to lies?
          But I never had any faith to begin

                    And I'm still breathing
                    Despite not believing


"Alone"
[Date Stamp: June 14, 2001.]

          Wait for me to die again
          I don't want to be there
          Wait for the sun to rise again
          I won't want to be here

          Oh, I walk away again
          I know I can't belong
          It's only what we sow
          It's everything that we know

                    Oh, leave me alone

          Wait for life to fly again
          I don't want to be here
          Wait for the sun to set again
          I won't want to be there

          Oh, it's every word you said
          I see I won't belong
          It's always what we sow
          It's everything that we know

                    Oh, leave me alone
                    Leave me alone

          'Til night has passed
          It's all going by so fast
          And all I can do
          Is hold on to... who?

                    Who can I hold on to?


"Je Souhaite"
[Date Stamp: March 19, 2001]

          Forever the answer
          Discovered without proper
          Analysis of the true form
          Rip through the cancer
          Pursued without further
          Discussion of the storm

                    It's a feeling of nothing
                    Nothing is as it should be
                    Et je souhaite...
                    Got this feeling of nothing
                    Nothing is as it should be
                    Et je souhaite
                    It would not be this way

          Forever the pusher
          No regrets without proper
          Analysis of the results
          Rip through the wisher
          No concern for the hunter
          Life in the saddest cults

                    It should not be this way
                    Je souhaite...
                    It wasn't this way...


"A Window to the World"
[Date Stamp: May 7, 2001.]

          Hey, it's really late, so
          Hey, let me make my
          Way, out the door to
          Say, there's no time left
          Today

                    Do you know me?
                    Do you claim some hold on me?
                    Do you want to break me?
                    Always claiming you own me

                    Now I
                    Have been here for too long
                    It's a misty window
                    Flowing candle
                    Won't you send me
                    Home

          Hey, it's been great, so
          Hey, it's time I go
          Away, through the window
          Pane, into world wide
          Rain

                    Do you know me?
                    You claim some hold on me
                    Do you want to break me?
                    Always claiming you own me

                    Now I
                    Have been here for too long
                    It's a misty window
                    Flowing candle
                    This world's a spindle
                    Without handle
                    Hold on, I'm going
                    Home
