Red dots in the forefront mock you as you try to pass
And white lights in the oncoming are separated by a strip of grass
We sit still but we move for miles and the road never seems to end
In a few days this trip will be through so I guess we'll just begin again
This felt too short, like I'm leaving but just arrived
Must we leave so soon? Didn't we just say "Hi?"
Didn't we just say "Hi?"
I'm so sick of The States, the US is leaving me in
the feeling of being free without living in my own skin
If I could run away, I'd take nothing but my camera
So I could show you all the things I love about Canada
Well this was fun for a while, but everything comes to an end
It's too bad I'll be so far up north to even think about my old friends
So here's my hello and goodbye, don't expect to see me back home
I'm setting off like a pilgrim to find a land unlike my own.
This felt too short, like I'm leaving but just arrived
Must we leave so soon? Didn't we just say "Hi?"
Didn't we just say "Hi?"
I'm so sick of The States, the US is leaving me in
the feeling of being free without living in my own skin
If I could run away, I'd take nothing but my camera
So I could show you all the things I love about Canada

Where it's Safe

I don't understand where you're coming from
And you don't understand, not all your arguments can be won
So keep it to yourself. Do you really think anyone cares?
Conceited little boy, I think it's time you smelled some fresh air
Take apart your life and throw it in a suitcase
Escape the social wall
Live out my life where it's safe
Away from all the noise
I'm running out of the way
I swear I had no choice
But to live my life where it's safe
Forced to be with them in this corrupt institution
You say that this can work, but no progression means no movement
Take apart your life and throw it in a suitcase
Escape the social wall
Live out my life where it's safe
Away from all the noise
I'm running out of the way
I swear I had no choice
But to live my life where it's safe

Fight Song

Who would've known they've got diamonds for eyes?
Watching us, see how they crystallize
Who would've thought they've got vacuums for ears?
Capturing anything they can hear
Draw your coat from the sleeves
Remove it instantly
They pick up everything
Even the unseen
I come in peace, all tension released
Through all these fights you forget what's wrong and right
Crushed by your hand through sun and sand
The fields may change, but the fighting stays the same
Who would've known they've got knives for lips?
Cutting through the toughest of grips
I should've known they've been here all along
Keeping records of all I've done wrong
I come in peace, all tension released
Through all these fights you forget what's wrong and right
Crushed by your hand through sun and sand
The fields may change, but the fighting stays the same

Closure

Too sore to be cynical
Too stunned to move
Those bright yellow eyes slowly mellow to blue
A hardcore revisionist
And a hypocrite too
Stopping your words to make them brand new
Welcome to surgery
Welcome to hell
Show me your talents, what can you sell?
I am so sorry
I heard you fell
But I can't learn what you don't tell
Why not try?
We can fly
Take a chance to feel the sky
Be cliche'
Enjoy your stay
Put off tomorrow to keep today
Be precise
Watch the knife
We need more closure in the loose ends of our life
How much more whining til purpose is found?
Maybe you're lost if you don't have ground
Pay close attention to lights and sound
You may just discover the Earth is round
A hero claims that beauty's frail
A dog feels smart when it grabs its own tail
My hammer broke apart, but it drove the nail
Should this be considered success or fail?
It seems once again the agenda's been moved
But it's hard to plan when our time is assumed
Why not try?
We can fly
Take a chance to feel the sky
Be cliche'
Enjoy your stay
Put off tomorrow to keep today
Be precise
Watch the knife
We need more closure in the loose ends of our life
