You don’t have to do this anymore
Though the beginning looks a whole lot like the end
The stars seem brighter than ever before
Burn that costume that we once wore
And head to the place where the dreams begin
Got your backpack open that back door
We don’t have to do this anymore
Though the beginning looks a whole lot like the end
The stars seem brighter than ever before
You know we deserve so much more
Got your backpack open that back door
Got your backpack open that back door

Gonna hum myself to sleep again tonight
Write a little song about the mysteries of life
Try to feel like everything's okay even though so much isn't right
Gonna hum myself to sleep again tonight
Gonna make up some jokes about my day
Make fun of all the things that didn't seem to go my way
Try to get a laugh out of the drama and the pain
Gonna make up some jokes about my day
Oh, was it easier when we were kids
Or was a there something always in the way
And no one else sees the world the way you do
Today the universe woke up as you
Oh, no, what're you gonna do
Oh, no, what're you gonna do
Gonna draw my self a picture of the way things were
What is real and what fantasy? Well, I really can't be sure
There's so much here to feel, well, it's all just a blur
Gonna draw myself a picture of the way things were
Gonna bury all my hurt from the past
Push it deep down into the dirt and tell it never to come back
Well, like seeds it grows like weeds and now it's panic attacks
Bury all my hurt from the past
Oh, was it easier when we were kids
Or was a there something always in the way
No one else sees the world the way you do
Today the universe woke up as you
Oh, no, what're you gonna do
Oh, no, what're you gonna do
This is how I'll leave my skull-sized hell
There's something big inside of me cracking the heck out of my shell
So stop caring what they think, cuz that has never done me well
Know that I am me and not the stories that you tell
And if you beat me down, I'll love the heck out of myself
Today the universe woke up as you
Today the universe woke up as you
Oh, no, what're you gonna do
Oh, no, what're you gonna do
Change me
Oh, no, what're you gonna do
I am ready

I Am A Force Field
04:24

Call me Christopher Robin, gonna solve all of my problems
With imaginary friends who are there when I need them
And I've been seeing backsons, and I've been hearing demons
And they say that they are here, because I'm pushing down my feelings
Wrote a letter to my future self, what the hell
I think you're gonna get better with a little self esteem
And there's a little kid inside me trying to remind me
That I am a Force Field
I am a Force Field
And I
And I can only cry when I'm alone
I guess it's something that I accidentally learned from my dad
So I'm hiding in the woods with a shovel and some photos
Digging up feelings that I never knew I had
And I built me a tree fort with a trap door
But I'm the only one I ever catch.
And there's a little kid inside me trying to remind me
That I am a Force Field
I am a Force Field
And I
Call me Christopher Robin, gonna solve all of my problems
With imaginary friends who are there when I need them
And I've been seeing backsons, and I've been hearing demons
And they say that they are here, because I'm pushing down my feelings
Wrote a letter to my future self, what the hell
I think you're gonna get better with a little self esteem
And there's a little kid inside me trying to remind me
That I am a Force Field
I am a Force Field
And I
And I've been seeing backsons, and I've been hearing demons
And they say that they are here, because I'm pushing down my feelings
And I

Vision In A Field
04:11

I came across a vision in a field
I asked Please, would you give me, some good advice
It said, Friend you are carrying too much of your Self
Lay it down, let it go, and run like hell
There’s so much here to feel, it’s no wonder you’re so tired
It’s not about the easy days, it’s about how you walk through the fire
Where are you running to, and what are you running from
Lay it down, let it go, and run
I know these changes hurt like hell
But underneath your bandages I swear you’re getting well
Call yourself a victim, and that’s what you will become
Lay it down, let it go, and run

One Human Being
03:21

We were trying to draw the stars into our own constellations
Make the universe into a kinder kind of creation
My kid says to change the world first change the way you’re seeing
But I’m still mowing shapes in the grass to let aliens know we need them
And lately I’ve been feeling like I don’t know how you’re feeling
This whole thing’s out of my control, except one human being
I’ve been watching classic films to see how decent people were
But movies’ happy endings come by skipping all the work
I don’t care if you call me a fool for hoping for more than I’m seeing
But something tells me we were made for more than we are being
But I can only love you if I first learn to love me and
This whole thing’s out of my control except one human being
Two years ago I dug a hole and buried myself in the pit
Now I’m afraid to dig up the seed and see what came of it
When it comes to human potential I guess I have high expectations
The limit to the universe is my imagination
And the story goes that Adam and Eve left the garden out of fear
Maybe humans never left and we are all still here
The truth is gonna set you free, or so the sages tell
The truth is gonna set you free but first it hurts like hell

Over and Out

Oh I am feeling, like my chest is full of birds
And they are singing without words
And the only thing I heard were their dreamings
Yes I am dreaming about laying in the road
And someone taking me home
I think I might explode with all these feelings
And that’s all for now
Over and out
Now I am burning
Like an angry little star
Has traded places with my heart
I hear it humming in the dark when I am lonely
Yes, I’m alone here
Please stay away
I’ll come back out on a better day
The only thing to say is it’ll get better
And that’s all for now
Over and out
I hear voices
And they are singing in my head
Won’t you come and be our friend
We’ll do our very best to make you feel better
Oh I am feeling,
Like a singer without words
And my chest is full of birds
And I think I've had enough of all of this breaking
Oh, I am growing
But first I’ll fall apart
So I can take it from the start
And I’m hoping in my heart that things will get better
And I that’s all for now
Over and out

Did you know it doesn’t take much gasoline to burn this f-er down
And I know it hurts like hell, but the new you is ready to break out
And I can’t stop hurting, cuz something in me is changing, and I don’t know what I’m looking for
And I can’t stop hurting, cuz something in me is changing, and I don’t know how to do this anymore
There’s something inside me that wants to screw it all and get away
There’s nothing left for me, so leave me alone and let me be this way
And I can’t stop hurting, cuz something in me is changing, and I don’t know what I’m looking for
And I can’t stop hurting, cuz something in me is changing, and I don’t know how to do this anymore

As Beautiful As It Hurts
04:21

Tumbling through the universe
Screaming for all we're worth
Is it a blessing or is it a curse
That it's as beautiful as it hurts
Try to make the most of my life
Though I make mistakes all the time
Forgive my foolish pride
But please know I tried
I need to think it's going to be alright
I need to think it's going to be alright
Knowing the cycle of things don't make it easier
I really tried to make things better this time around
They say easy come, but it ain't easy to let go
It's the spin on the stories we tell
It's making friends with our wounded selves
It's giving thanks when its going well
And keeping hope when it goes to hell
So where you gonna go today
Now that all your plans have changed
You know you can't run away
Though the wolves are calling your name
I need to think it's gonna be okay
I need to think it's gonna be okay
We're tumbling through the universe
Screaming for all we're worth
Is it a blessing or is it a curse
That it's as beautiful as it hurts

Different Kind of Day

Today’s a good day, to screw it all and just smile
It doesn’t matter how I fall, that’s not even how they keep score
And I think we’re brave, cuz we gave up the game
And we’re choosing the high road
We get so dang hard on us, it’s time to feel okay
Today could be a different kind of day

A lovely addition to the best project of 2023, that at some points feel like B-Sides, but is overall just as strong as the work that made it on "the record"
