Forgotten Be Found
04:58
|
|||
Well I can see what I gotta get used to
Pretty sure things will never be sane
The downtrodden got the keys to the car
And they’re gonna make us feel their pain
Everybody’s got their own information
Everybody’s got their own point of view
And the one thing we all can agree on
Is I know better than you
I’m so tired of running
So sick of being let down
Let the forgotten be found
And all the gunners are gunning
To burn it all to the ground
Let the forgotten be found
And now we’re focused on a bright and shiny object
Can’t see the giant hammer coming down
Things are gonna look a whole lot different
When we pull ourselves off the ground
I’m so tired I’m putting foil on the windows
They’re so wired they’re putting feet on the ground
I got a notion that we gotta start moving
Slip out the door without a sound
I’m so tired of running
So sick of being let down
Let the forgotten be found
And all the drummers are drumming
And all the wire’s unwound
Let the forgotten be found
I can’t pretend this is all an illusion
I can’t pretend this is not going down
Binge watching the end of evolution
Watch the forgotten be found

Ride
03:53
|

Tell me secrets of your life
So I can keep them for all time
A desperate footprint in the cloud
To share the stories as allowed
To share the stories as allowed
You walk through double, triple time
Where there’s no reason and no rhyme
I reach but I can’t touch the line
That cuts the border so come ride
That cuts the border so come ride
Ride with me I’ll set you free
I see your future and your past
I saw the first, I’ll see the last
I’ll tell it straight you’ve got some time
So set it all down and come ride
So set it down and come ride
Ride with me I’ll set you free
Tell me secrets of your life
So I can keep them for all time
A desperate footprint in the cloud
To share the stories as allowed
To share the stories as allowed
Ride with me I’ll set you free

What You Hold Near
05:10
|
|||
There’s a fine line between what you let ride
And what you hold near
Stacked up to the ceiling of my mind
You’ll never understand unless you climb
It’s strange to see the difference you invent
Between what I said and what I meant
And what you hold near
You think you know the answer but you don’t
You think you’re gonna fix it but you won’t
The answer to the question never asked
Is right in front of each of us at last
And what you hold near
Those of them that matter wouldn’t mind
And those of them that mind, they don’t matter
When we stop making a weapon of our pride
We’ll turn to see the boundaries just shatter
Falling...calling...
Just say what you need...
What you need, what you want
What you find, what you get
Satellite hangs silently in space
Listening for life but there’s no trace
Lights are out it’s all a silent roll
Dawn to dark, a rock without its soul
And what you hold near

Sold and Told
07:11
|
|||
Over the pass of time
Easy to feel the heavy load
Right there before your eyes
Rocks and rivers block the road
Push it off to the side
Walking through water another mile
The living is there inside
Dying is gone for a little while
When the mountain takes a life
It’s known to keep it for all time
Swallowing up the tide
Making your peace with what’s inside
Floating between the stars
Spinning just like a satellite
None of it is the end
Bodies behind, the spirit flies
So your story’s sold and told
Lessened by the buy
Measured wide by word and gold
Drop the rope and fly
Waves come like a train
And there’s no way of stopping them
The heaviness is your pain
So long you don’t see the end
Then you’re looking into the sky
Something is in your line of sight
It’s there and then goodbye
Running away or off in flight

The Movie
03:24
|
|||
You get to a stage
Where time wears you down
You get to an age
Where to win is to stay above ground
We wake, we rise
We live, we die
We love, we learn
We smolder and burn
Are you too set in your ways to make it all right?
Too set in your ways
You’re watching the movie
You’re the star of the screen
Write your lines and improvise
Like you mean it
Your dreams never died
So to make it come live
You live out your lies
Til the truth flows from inside
Are you too set in your ways to make it all right?
Too set in your ways

Reaction
03:43
|
|||
Machines all around me/The crush of technology
Life to the prophecy/Promising to set you free
Knowing what you really want/All the shit you almost got
Like a chain reaction/And there’s no relaxing
White noise complacency/Telling you to wait and see
Quiet as a dead dog/Vapid as a blue fog
Hypervating ecstasy/Coming down for you and me
Like a chain reaction/From a vocal fraction
Christians at the stadium/Bullpen and palladium
Drowning out the white noise/Choosing when there’s no choice
Driving like a freight train/Headlong into hurricane
Like a chain reaction/A reappeared redaction
Firing up a new feud/Working on his attitude
Being what you want to be/Seeing what you want to see
Supersize construction/Super fly seduction
Like a chain reaction/Against a mass inaction
Thinking what you won’t say/Dying to live another day
Selling off your innocence/Winning with a strong defense
Trouble with an upper case/Facing what you gotta face
Like a chain reaction/It’s all a chain reaction

Come Around
04:29
|
|||
Time, don’t let it catch you sitting down
Life won’t wait while you’re just spinning ‘round
Like you’re crazy if you do the same old thing
And think you’re gonna change, just come around round round
So you see the faces through the glass
Lines unwind all the time that’s passed
Why, you’re crazy, spend so much time looking back
Miss what’s coming fast, just come around round round
Just come around round round
So long ago you used to dream of what would pass
So another night another Empty Glass
Way back in the day you couldn’t wait
Until the future was the past, just come around round round
Just come around round round
Well, we’re all together yet alone
I can’t believe it but our hearts are full of stone
I fall upon my knees it cuts me to the bone
You take just what you need
You become just what you feed
Your heart and soul
Well, it took so long to find yourself
Time to put those heavy weights back on the shelf
Turn the key and burn some fossil fuel that’s what you do
Just yours and you, just come around round round
Just come around round round
Turn the key now don’t you see, your truth will set you free
Just come around round round

Put It Down
03:23
|
|||
So… you’ve been counting up the years, yeah
You know, it’s hard to swallow all your fears, yeah
But you should have put it down
Yeah you should have put it down oh no
So… how’d they get into your mind, yeah
Did you wind around the dial?
Did you stumble to a smile oh no
He’s everybody’s sweetheart
But did he sell his soul just to play the part
And you would never testify
That your savior’s built on lies
Well you should have put it down
Yeah you could have put it down oh no
Is he burning while he sings?
See the wax upon his wings…
Did you take a final fall?
Did you overcome it all?
Did you see it through the mask?
Did you ever care to ask?
Did you follow packs of lies?
Did it make you all the wise?
Through a thousand hand shook deals
Never one of them was real
Are you sleeping through the night?
Are you giving up the fight?
When your life is up in flames
Now who’re you gonna blame?
Well you should have put it down
See the fire jump the line
Must have missed on all the signs
Well you could have put it down

Echo Time
06:49
|
|||
Sit you down, sit you down, sit you down
Don’t be paranoid
Look around, up and down
Don’t you think that we had a choice?
Every day bit by bit all that I knew was taken away
…every day
So settle down sit you down
Watch things swing the other way
Not alone, not alone
It’s the curse of technology
Everyone’s just the same
Every one of them just like me
So we let our guard down
Soon enough it’s all echo time
I believe what I want to believe
Is that such a crime?
Heading out to the country
Where I know that I’ll be good
Disconnected but for all my family
And all that’s good
While the oceans are filling with glitter
Well, I’ll be fine
I can throw any blame any way
Except if it’s mine

Say What You Will
05:08
|
|||
Hey man - say what you will
Come out and play man
Come get your fill
And when you feel it
It’s not like you’d steal it
You better brace for the bill
Well now you’re saying
You got what you need
Got what you asked for
To make them all see
But when your healing
Ah when it comes with the dealin
Ah well, you reap what you feed
So now I’m asking
Where will go go?
When it’s all over
And it’s the end of the show
‘Cause when the sun goes down
Down on the remains of your town
Well only then will you know
Well, so hey man
Thanks for the change
Ah well, so say man
Such a great show on a stage
Well while we’re watching the show
Behind the curtain you know
They put us all in a cage

listeners and takes them on a sonic journey.
Lyrically, Paul reflects the era and concerns of his audience, whether reveling in the opportunity to be the best version of yourself, to lamenting the fractured state of political and social connection.
