Solid Ground 03:31
Solid Ground Walking alone, I feel a low drone Each step like a drum in my ears Vary your stride or you won't get by Though it seems you been walking for years Move to the left back to the right now Watch out they're creeping behind Don't move your head or blink your eyes This is no place for taking your time And if you come down from the clouds To the place where it is getting too loud You will see you are free...solid ground Just don't turn around Sitting alone I hear a low tone The silence it fills up the air Barely awake, I feel the earth shake Too lightly to warrant a care Move my head slowly to the right now Not disturbing the still in the room Can't find the peace, need to release this feeling Of sorrow and gloom

Better Know 03:49
Better Know We live side by side But no two the same, not ever No one can deny Life is more than changing weather Do we have the time Is it all a wasted effort Mountains 10 miles high Must start with one tiny pebble If you want water, dig a ditch, and If you want to cross you'll need a bridge, and If you wanna float you'll need a boat, but If the boat's sinking, you better start thinking...how can I handle this Listen to the past Don't repeat the same mistakes We grow up so fast If we don't take time time's taken Let's be better friends Let us learn each others' names Are we the ones who need to see Better know, the answer's in me Are we the ones who need to do Better know, the answer's in you Are we the ones who need to hear Better know, the answer's so clear Lessons will be learned So much can be said with silence All your merits earned Lands will form from tiny islands Lend a helping hand We are all in this together Lessons will be learned

Grab Your Cap I see you smiling, I know your thoughts I'm no mind reader but you wear it like a bad tie You know, and I know, and they know too She's got no business being here with you So get out, with that selfish grin Cause she can boot you out just like she let you in Don't forget to grab your cap and lock the door Don't be running 'round here no more Use your head boy. You're gonna lose your head boy. It was love at another time. Love at another time. Now's not the other time. Love at another time. What do you feel before you lay your head? Each night in your dreams do you hear her voice like music playing? What is he knew the things you do? Would he knock you down? Would he spare you? What do you hope to come to in the end? Want to leave this life with not one friend? Well, I hope you listen to the words I say. You can't just going around acting that way.

I Thought Maybe I thought maybe I might try to climb a mountain I went to where I could see straight up to the top But it wasn't my day, and it wasn't the time Instead I'll just read up on the hill I thought maybe I might try to fix the climate I boarded a plane heading straight up for the sun But it ran out of gas, plus it got pretty warm Instead I think I'll just ride my bike I thought maybe I might try to stop the fighting I mailed letters to all of them filled up with love They got lost in the mail, plus the postage was high Instead I'll just smile at passers-by

The Worm 04:21
The Worm Hide in dark corners for most of my days to avoid the sunlight Its just easier for me to get away from predators, find the prey, in moonshine Plus the friends I keep believe what I say When they can't right away see the smile on my face Its a miracle that I still get away Just take a piece of me, it will grow back, you'll see How can he carry on this way, you wonder Well I ask you...don't you know who I am? I am the one who knows just what you want to hear So I ask you....don't you know who I am? Rain clouds they fall I must escape the dirt. I can't swim and won't learn Make my way on to the sidewalk where the boys and the girls hustle past, they take turns When the rain dries up at last I will return Nestled back in the ground, all of my comfort found Others stayed out and dried up so lesson learned Too much of any thrill will leave you limp and still, but still... Nestled back in the ground I am at home because too much of any thrill will make you limp so just take a piece of me it will grow back you see.
