Track Name: The Prescription
let me tell you what you’re thinking
life is hard it’s got you down
but I can help you
if you let me help you
realize what it’s all about

you act like you have done some thinking
it gets confusing yes I know
but if you’re willing
and I think you are willing
I’ll introduce you to the show

and it’ll make you happy
don’t you want to be happy

be just a body in motion
be willing to compromise
once had a dream
once you meant something

now you know just how to do it
you know the secret of the cool
now convince another
and we’ll have another
someone else to play the fool

and it’ll make ‘em happy
don’t they want to be happy
I understand
and I’m the only one who can

just body in motion
so willing to compromise
it’s the perfect system
so easy to justify
once had a dream
once I meant something

now go drink your wine
smoke your kind
patronize and wonder why
everyone else is such a stupid fuck
‘cause you know

and it makes you happy
don’t you want to be happy
I understand
I’m the only one who can
Track Name: Quasi Cool
when you come out
I'll take you to this great Tai restaurant
merlot, I guess?
hello, I'm Madness Francisco
that's a cool shirt man, Ché rocks, Totally!
Track Name: The Black Arts
I say it’s contagious
they’re selling outrageous
try to tell you who to be
like they know what makes a man

I see it on T.V.
they make it look easy
beauty on the outside
happiness within

restless
I can see it in your eyes
now tell me
what’s troubling your mind

familiar reinforcement
neighborly endorsement
of images and messages
that complicates our heads

it’s the life fantastic
lively and dramatic
what everybody wants it seems
only others have

restless
I can see it in your eyes
now tell me
what’s troubling your mind

I say it’s contagious
they’re selling outrageous
tell you who you ought to be
like they know what makes a man

I see it on T.V.
and I want it all

I say it’s contagious
they’re selling outrageous
tell you who you ought to be
now show ‘em that you’re the man
Track Name: One More
overcome
I'm about to come undone
made mistakes and bought the lies
you put me down
no I pulled myself down
but I can change I can try
of innocence
I have no defense
I have no case I can’t deny
I must admit
yeah I kind of liked it
But it wasn’t real it wasn’t right

refrain:
just one more time
it's getting closer
just one more time
I'll get it perfect
it's right now
I've lost my head

refrain:

I'm in it now
in it now
I'm in it now more than I have been
before my friend
I'm in it now
and I don't know if I'm coming back
Track Name: Provenance
everyday I hit the pavement try not fall into the cracks
and everyday I turn away and find I'm not going back
mesmerized by all the lies conscience swept away
we say yes and they say no yet we still live together

refrain:
the light it burns my face
but I look there anyway
there anyway

some say deeds and some say knees or nothing that's right
cause deep inside there always lies the terror that wants to fly
occasionally we take a leave and sit it out for a while
but we believe or so it seems that some things are for ever

refrain:
the light it burns my face
but I look there anyway
sometimes it hurts to feel
but we can't conceal forever

refrain:

forever forever forever
Track Name: I Believe, I Suppose
I gonna lay it low I'm laying low
staying in tonight
I'm gonna take a ride
I'm gonna say goodbye
for a while a while

fly fly on right into my soul
now I won't cry
I hope I don't I don't die
I don't even know

refrain:
all alone nobody surrounds me
all alone shivering I am bare
all alone waiting for a frenzy
all alone into nothing I stare

It's time to dim the lights
gonna dim the lights
in this lull in the road
now it's getting there
I said it's getting there
I believe I suppose

refrain:
refrain:

all alone
all alone
all alone
shivering I am bare
Track Name: Recognition
I put my hands above my head
wondering what I ever did to deserve this
then I look on down the side
and I realize what I've climbed to get me this far
It fades away it's true
you can't go back gone is your youth

If I have to drive all night long
I don't care just as long as we're gone
and if we happen to make a few wrong turns
I don't care just as long as we're not in reverse

refrain:
you may say you know the way
then you take it all away
these rounded windows are blurry I worry
I want to recognize I'm listening

you look to me I look to you
it don't matter quite on what we do
you say I should try
but I scared to death and I don't know the reason why

refrain:
refrain:

recognition recognition I see
recognition recognition I see
I want to recognize I want to recognize
I want to recognize I want to recognize
I want to recognize recognition
Track Name: Remember Me
understand before it's calm
patiently I await a certainty
stay awhile feel inside or
go and take you best shot

refrain:
like you said
I can't believe in you my friend
well remember me I remember you
I broken down and built up too

rise on one hand the other I drop
please don't leave me wherever I end up
fake a smile say it's right or
go and take your best shot

refrain:

l am my author
I write myself
look around
and behold it
feel the sound
from my hands from my hands from my hands from my hands from my hands

refrain:
Track Name: Leaving the Way
you had to know
when your blood runs cold and slower
you lose control
it's time to start this whole thing over

refrain:
leaving the way
I've got to have you understand
I can't stay here anymore
it's tearing me so down
so down
the light from my fire shines not anymore
somehow all along I was leaving the way

the gate is broken
now just go through
in time our innocence eludes us
then we choose

refrain:
youdon'thavetoleave
matteroffactmostofusstayourwholelives
it'swhenyourealizeyoucanleaveandyouchoosetostayanyway
thatI'llneverunderstand
I never meant to leave you dying
now I'm leaving the way

refrain:
leaving the way
I've got to have you understand
I can't stay here anymore
it's tearing me so down
so down
the light from my fire shines not anymore
somehow all of us are leaving the way

I take my luck what's gone is buried
feel my chest it pounds I'm merry
I'm gonna beat on drums
I'm gonna beat inside
I'm gonna beat it on and on and on
Track Name: Don't Lay Away
amen
do you believe
take you own hand or contrive destiny
time lies certainly
the absolute it is my specialty
love hate between is fate
that we hold but depends
what's you favor it's open
just don't lay away
we can't bring you back
without the stones of your sweat
I hear you cry don't fade away
but hurry on claim you crown
breathe patiently
relax
this is the right time
to get it on
tonight's the night it changes
and no more excuses
for what I know
we light the light
reach control
to learn to strive to run to hide
on the boulevard of eyes of fire
is where you make it stay
I know why I can't stand around
cause it's over if I lay away
Track Name: Naked
we are strangers
trapped inside our heads
‘cause there’s a danger
if too much is said

afraid of being lonely
our bodies are our clothing
let’s get naked

flesh is an illusion
our senses they deceive
but there’s a real beauty
the beauty of belief

afraid of being lonely
our bodies are our clothing
let’s get naked
let’s get naked
afraid of being lonely
our bodies are our clothing
let’s get naked
let’s get naked
let’s get naked
let’s get naked
Track Name: I, Without Fear
don't stop believing
or it will break you down
no more deceiving
turn it around

it's nice to be pretty
it helps to be smart
I can do a lot with money
but that's not the point

don't stop believing
you give meaning
or what you've been conceiving
it means nothing

refrain:
don't fear what is love
give more than what you got
so you can stare death in the face
don't fear what is love
embrace your mortal shot and live

don't stop believing
or it'll tear it out
what you've been perceiving
is now in doubt

I've waited for the moment
but it never comes
you've got to go get it
that's how it's done

don't stop believing
do not concede
there's no relieving
until you see to

refrain:
