Get out! Drawn in by ghouls And led into the dark Promised life eternal But guided into fog Losing footing with no way to run Holding out for something but unsure as to what Get out (Get out!) of the corn maze There’s nothin’ for you in there Get out (Get out!) of the corn maze, And stop living in fear Temptations abound At each and every turn The markers are all covered up with time Losing footing, with no way to run Holding out for something, but unsure as to what Get out (get out!) of the corn maze There’s nothin’ for you in there Get out (get out!) of the corn maze, And stop living in fear

In the Park 03:21
Stop just short of stretching out your allies To their breaking point, before they come undone Hold tight to the silent assumptions Revered for their ability to fold all wrongs to right When you’re on your own, in a world so cold Do whatever it takes to get you through the night, When I’m on my own, in a world so cold I do whatever it takes to get me through the night Resist the temptations to flee In a new direction, most frail and carefree Scattered all along the history of one’s mind Weathered up and down, a hangover in its prime When you’re on your own, in a world so cold Do whatever it takes to get you through the night When I’m on my own, in a world so cold I do whatever it takes to get me through the night To get me through the night When you’re on your own, in a world so…

Major Bros. 03:18
And we never change We prefer to age We are but the lucky ones We’re just a normal group of guys Trying to get between your eyes, And if you’re feeling it let us know Get your ass on the floor! And we’ll never know Our outcome’s goal We are but those that remain We’re just a regular group of boys Trying to make some rockin’ noise And if you’re feeling it let us know Get your ass on the floor! And we never change We prefer to age Me and my major bros, Me and my major bros who already know

New Rocks 03:54
Healing Time! Come down and join us, let’s live for a little while Abandon all suspicions, each second reconciled Shake off all notions; they’ve failed us in the end Can we redirect our thinking, and as brothers make amends? Our method is rusting, and it’s only second best These egos are crushing, as if they weren’t weightless Make haste there’s no time, for standing on the fence Join up with us, the light side Embrace your ancientness No need for fear now, we’ve licked it in the past Accept the danger and risks here, and join our timeless dance Our method is rusting, and it’s only second best These egos are crushing, as if they weren’t weightless Our method is rusting, and it’s only second best These egos are crushing, as if they weren’t weightless If I spoke in a universal tongue, maybe we’d all understand Evolving consciousness, I demand!

I know the road is gold But these visions have come unrolled And yet I try to find a place in time I’m out of touch, we’re out of line (we’re out of life!) And I know that time heals all But I can’t know and let her go Still it feels she only visits us at night I am only a mortal man Will I fear this for the rest of my life? I have only a second guess It feels the fantasy is gone A shimmer of life long drawn on But still I’ll find a way to make this right I’m out of line, we’re outta’ time (we’re out of time!) And I know that time heals all But I can’t know and let her go Still it feels she only comes to us at night She is only black and white I will feel this for the rest of my life I have only a second guess And I do know that there is more than gold… But I know that time heals all And I can’t know and let her go Still it feels she only visits us at night I am only a mortal man, I will feel this for the rest of my life I have only a second guess

So this is where we barely stand, Hearts on stakes and heads in hands Anchored to our battle post, In wait of touching soft skin of hope Can we? Can we resist? The images held out for us by our herders When we stand and act as men? Water threatening to boil over topside, Our only option short of shame is to surely… Have faith in our ability To see though these marvelous illusions Propagated by our own species We must reclaim our ancient energy! The wave we seek won’t come as planned A surprise we’ll feel in both two hands A blind eye A sweet dream Have faith in our ability, To see though these marvelous illusions Propagated by our own species We must reclaim our ancient energy! This is our test! This is our chance! We best not fail Fail or else! Our only option short of shame is to surely…

Dreamery 03:52
We’re on verge of expanding everything that we feel Distant images on the horizon, beckoning Who are we to deny them? We’re seeking something that doesn’t show Under thick layers of time cycles, Now is the hour to dissipate Come into another mind and state! Everyone’s tightly woven in Sewn into a patch of blanket’s end Illusion of separateness comes unglued We’re flying while riding on truth We’re seeking something that doesn’t show Under thick layers of time cycles, Now is the hour to dissipate Come into another mind and state! Take a sledgehammer to these mental walls Free all prisoners inside, When we set foot past the borders of ours minds, we’ll find The sooner we admit that it’s all or none The stronger we will be for this journey Raise each other up in harmony Don’t wait and see, join me! Don’t wait and see, join me!

Your exit was without warning, A shock to all the limbs Downing in awe we’re so silent Dare we ever breathe again? We’re so very ill prepared For this tragic tear And now we’re crawling backwards, Seeking new masters He’s now the neighbor of the beast We’re still listening for your songs Waiting patiently, even if it takes all night long Visions of expressions on his face Transcend this physical plane We’re so very ill prepared For this tragic tear And now we’re crawling backwards, Seeking new masters He’s now the neighbor of the beast One more time to say goodbye One last time to say goodnight One more time to say goodbye! One last time to say goodnight… Because he rocked, he rolled, he lived, and he stole! He shocked, he awed, man he gave his all! And he’s now the neighbor of the beast They’re probably enjoying a vast grand feast He’s now…
