Climbing higher can’t you see you’re falling down 
Take your time to, get your feet back on the ground Climbing higher can’t you see you’re falling down 
Take your time to, get your feet back on the ground Sell a man a fish and he’ll chew, bite, swallow But teach a man to fish and you lose five dollars To tight pockets flow the profits of the actions Of poor who export bought land for a fraction River bank to Swiss bank, green grass to green paper It’s a “dig, drill, cut and flee the scene” caper There’s youth- soon to be consumed by the rat race ‘til too fat to crawl back through the cash maze They say: “strive for wealth and get a wage, And climb enough to buy yourself a better cage And like the cogs in some great, grey machine The city teams with lost who nay-say their dreams And fiend for the weekend and that dim light time To find the wrong side of the thin white line Its cut-throat, so don’t get blood on your best tie And climb, ‘cos the mountain’s the best place (You gotta get) to get high You gotta get higher than the superman you plan to be amongst the sky
 Why do we ask these questions, lessons sold from a burning heart 
I can’t depart this party, partly lost and lonely 
Parts will slowly fall down out below me; 
 All that we know she’s lost amongst the snow 
Only the mountains know … Who would of thought you could change the world now?
 When we still live in fake plastic houses All the trees were cut down around us 
Fire through forest burning the doubtless…
 Through the night it soundless Peace through the valley turning the mountains
… And our love was groundless Just another entry in the lost and found list Climbing higher can’t you see you’re falling down 
Take your time to, get your feet back on the ground Climbing higher can’t you see you’re falling down 
Take your time to, get your feet back on the ground Climbing higher can’t you see you’re falling down 
Take your time to, get your feet back on the ground Climbing higher can’t you see you’re falling down 
Take your time to, get your feet back on the ground

Fade 03:43
When it was just blue skies and haze and true lies Thank the world that we didn’t grow up (no) When it was all in your mind just a fiction of mine Thank the world that we didn’t show up (no) When we waited for days, wondered if you would say All the things that we didn’t own up to Watched us fading away like the sun to a day We were lost in our waves like the ocean When it was just blue skies and haze and true lies Thank the world that we didn’t grow up (no) When it was all in your mind just a fiction of mine Thank the world that we didn’t show up (no) We could’ve run away; and through the darkness I Sit here softly, wondering why I always needed to, believe in you Our dreams were meant to fly But I was always falling from another sky From another sky From another sky From another sky Chain, shackle, chain, shackle It’s got my brain baffled I bang the steel to feel my cage rattle Chain, shackle, chain, shackle It’s got my brain baffled The serpent’s purpose is the service of those strange apples I guess I left your nectar neatly tied to the greener vines A fouler trace in mouths to taste is sour grapes from sweetest wine Lust for freedom’s my decline- it binds me tight, I find I’m tied At times I’m tired of trying to find a balance like my bank’s declined We could’ve run away; and through the darkness I Sit here softly, wondering why I always needed to, believe in you Our dreams were meant to fly But I was always falling from another sky From another sky From another sky From another sky From another sky From another sky From another sky From another sky From another sky

We are, we are, we are (repeated) So they say I've lost my mind But I still feel alright Don't know why I was trying to keep myself insane All I did was think of you, waste away another day So pick me up I wanna fly away again We are, we are, we are We are, we are, we are We are, we are, we are (home again) We are, we are, we are We are, we are, we are We are, we are, we are (home again) We are, we are, we are (repeated) They say there’s no place like home- Feelin’ that warm western breeze breathe new flesh to my bones, and I just couldn’t shake you like a rhythm in my brain You’re still swimming in my veins to this day We are, we are, we are (repeated)

Family 04:23
Where did all my family go? Only heartless wait alone Burning love right through the snow Yeah we were lost so long ago Where were you when I lost my mind? Burning through the sands of time Lost amongst these pointless words Singing songs of silence to the empty street curbs Yeah you were beautiful Fading from my distant mind Yeah you were beautiful Fading from my distant mind Where did all my family go? Lost along this lonely road If only I could make it so Forever never be alone Yeah you were beautiful Fading from my distant mind Yeah you were beautiful Fading from my distant mind Yeah you were beautiful Fading from my distant mind Yeah you were beautiful Fading from my distant mind

Two Fires 03:31
I fight the fire but the fire fights me I fight the fire but the fire fights me I fight the fire but the fire fights me Drop your guns 'cause The Brow will bomb ya! We throw sounds like a double entendre There's two fires and we're fighting both Keeping it safe across the West Coast Stay close and 'get ur freak on' I'm a stay strong, keep my freedom I don't belong but I do design A three course meal, I'm a take my time! It’s the big beat ambassadors You couldn’t bite this style if we bought it to your masseters Passengers advised to make note of the exits Smoke from pyrotechnics will choke you like a necklace. Wrote the set list in wax drips Slipped the old West this new batch of tactics- Two packs of matches stacked into a satchel Tackling syntax in rap that’s mad factual The hats will attack, the breaks are on a warpath Filthy; the bass-line hates to take a warm bath And for the main course NDORSE serves the guest list This next dish; crème snare with fresh kicks Soaked a wet spliff in kerosene- Bright for a second like a fool with a clever scheme Mother warned me not to play with matches But fact is, the lighter kinda had me distracted Lap it up lap it up lap it up like a Labrador Please sir, Oliver's gonna ask for more Three bites worse than a four Bach verse Beethoven gone first in a symphony curse It's getting worse than we thought Where's the ship gone? It's gone down with the frought I caught a glimps of the evil in your eye You're the devil hidden, hiding in the inner city sky Boo ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa Play that shit loud in the back of your car! Boo ha ha ha ha haa Count Drac jammin' down Jameson at the bar Boo ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa Play that shit loud in the back of your car! Boo ha ha ha ha haa All the haters in the world are nothing more than they are...
