Time is now, say your peace
Find your sweet release
Say it loud
Young and dumb, sing your song
Microphone is on
Tell that crowd
Tell them that your time is now
In the past I forget
I feel no regret
Time is now
And I’m not scared of what’s ahead
It hasn’t happened yet
Time is now
Keg is tapped, fill that cup
Fill that fucker up
Drink it down
I’m not scared of where I am
I know where I stand
Is hallowed ground
Time is now
Hallowed ground
Just take a look around
Time is now, say your peace
Find your sweet release
Say it loud
Young and dumb, sing your song
Microphone is on
Tell that crowd
Tell them that your time is now

It’s frightening
That thought of choosing one thing
Just where to plant your lightning
When you don’t know
And the world shrinks
Under what you’re holding
And the thought of what you’re missing
Takes control
Is it just more education?
More degrees of separation
Want to understand your hesitation
You’ve got both feet down on the ground
And all your friends around
You’re ready now
That sickness
The cost of doing business
The price of bearing witness
To this hell
Well it won’t win
It’s not as strong as you’ve been
And that crying time is ending
I can tell
So it’s just more education
More degrees of separation
Want to understand your hesitation
You’ve got both feet down on the ground
And all your friends around
You’re ready now
Yeah, you’re ready now
So it’s just more education
More degrees of separation
Want to understand your hesitation
You’ve got both feet down on the ground
And all your friends around
There’s nothing slowing you down
You’re ready now

Fill the Sky

Look at that hillside
We couldn’t fit more houses if we tried
But the market will not be denied
We filled the ground and now let’s fill the sky
Tell me your secret
Am I close to something that you hide?
What’s the rush? Tell me why my kids can’t play outside
We filled the ground and now let’s fill the sky
Telling me this could be mine
Sell me back my peace of mind
Promising you’ll make it right
You lie
Don’t look out that side
There’s a wave on its way for your life
And all the cash you burn just builds it higher
We filled the ground and now let’s fill the sky
Shoulder to shoulder
Your request for space has been denied
You know the rich won’t save us but they’ll say they tried
We filled the ground and now let’s fill the sky
Telling me this could be mine
Sell me back my peace of mind
Promising you’ll make it right
You lie

Make Up Your Mind
03:55

Wake up, you’re dreaming
Thinking you’re someone who’s puzzled the pieces
Which part is real and which part is a secret
… seems to me.
You don’t get a free ride
Don’t get to pause and don’t get to rewind
But if you’re patient you can make your own mind
… possibly.
You get to make up your mind
Tell me I’m wrong, tell me I’m right
Decide
Patience, my weakness
It’s only part of the reason
I don’t feel like sleeping
Tell me, what does that seed bloom?
Where does the pill lead you?
Tell me, who calls the next tune
and who made it up to you?
You get to make up your mind
Tell me I’m wrong, tell me I’m right
Decide

We're Happy

On the streets around my home
The buildings breathe heavy and low
They’re watching me as I watch for them
It’s not so bad nor is it too often
I do it all for my beloved
Who I love to surprise in the village
Sunlight and flowers, coffee and beer
Our home is blessed and I am grateful
I hope we’re happy for many, many years
Caught in darkness, from the rain,
I head home early with early gains
I do it all for my beloved
Who I love to surprise in the village
Sunlight and flowers, coffee and beer
Our home is blessed and I am grateful
I hope we’re happy for many, many years

Rules

Once you’ve made your mind can you start making mine?
‘Cuz it changed a hundred times in the blink of an eye
You’re wasting your time
If you try to define it you’re wasting your time
Read and analyze every space, every line
But it changed a thousand times before the words sounded right
You’re wasting your time
If you try to define it you’re wasting your time
Show me where your rules break down and the lesson ends
How many exceptions now?
Show me where your rules break down and the human begins to decide
Every word, every line
Righteous now where you hide
Every word, every line
Take a step to draw it out. Are we retracing lines?
Let it play a million times for the rest of our lives
You’re wasting your time
If you try to define it you’re wasting your time
Show me where your rules break down and the lesson ends
How many exceptions now?
Show me where your rules break down and the human begins to decide
Every word, every line
Righteous now where you hide
Every word, every line
Don't look now
We fall so far behind

If Only

Long drive to your place
with hungry, hungry hippies on the interstate
I’m a dollar short and a day late
But I can tell the winner from an imitation
I’ll tell you all about it when my lucky break hits
I’m not like the last guy
quietly a dagger in the dead of night
I’m selfish, fragile
You could hear me coming from a hundred miles
I’ll tell you all about it
when I get that high
that I’ve been chasing,
chasing for so long
They say youth is wasted,
wasted on the young
I feel heavy, weightless
I’ve got that rope tied
Wisdom, Power, Patience
If only we had time
Bible, hands on
Tell the truth and nothing but so help you god
Well I lied to get this far
Don’t see there’s a reason I won’t carry on
I’ll tell you all about it
when I get that high
that I’ve been chasing,
chasing for so long
They say youth is wasted,
wasted on the young
I feel heavy, weightless
I’ve got that rope tied
Wisdom, Power, Patience
If only we had time
If only we had time
If only we had…
Time
I’ll tell you all about it when I get that high
that I’ve been chasing
chasing for so long
They say youth is wasted
wasted on the young
I feel heavy, weightless
I’ve got that rope tied
Wisdom, Power, Patience
If only we had time
If only we had time

Getaway
04:08

There’s time to make a getaway
Forget what your detractors say
What is there to prove?
Give a reason why
Look around the room for a sign
You did it once back then and you’ll do it again
I turn my gaze to yesterday
I sigh and face that tidal wave
Is it any use?
Can I change your mind?
Look around the room for a sign
You did it once back then and you’ll do it again
There’s a way for your luck to finally turn around
Leave a light on so the lost can finally be found
Come again and your luck can finally turn around
Leave a light on so the lost can finally be found
Oh!
Alright.
Do it again.
