the thermals - Now we can see
.

The Earth was too hot,
the air was too thin
I took off my clothes
I took off my skin
I crawled to the sea
that was crawling from me
so I could swim...
yeah, so I could swim!
I was sick of the land
I was sick from the heat
I was sick of the sun and the sky and the trees
Over the air that I needed to breathe
When I held with my hands
When I walked on my feet
I took off my clothes
I took off my skin
Started shedding my arms
To start getting my fins
Crawled to the sea that was calling for me
so I could swim, swim the ocean wide
I was only just past the riptide
When I died
When I died
Yeah when I died
My head did swell
I said to myself
Nature should take its sweet time
I was already losing my spine
I was sick with and my curtain fell
It's the end of the story I was certain to tell
Watching their faces as they pulled me from the sea
Feeling for the place I thought my gills would be
Busted and wrecked
Justly infected
My body beyond repair
Had no objection sir
My only questions were
Where do I go and will I know when I'm there
But I really couldn't say that I cared
When I died
When I died
Yeah when I died
My head did swell
I said to myself
Nature should take its sweet time
I was already losing, yeah!, my spine
The Earth was too hot,
the air was too thin
I took off my clothes
I took off my skin
I crawled to the sea
that was crawling from me
so I could swim...
yeah, so I could swim!
When I died
When I died
Yeah when I died
My head did swell
I said to myself
Nature should take its sweet time
I was already losing, yeah!, my spine

We were sick!
We were sick at the talk!
So far from where we started,
too far along to stop!
We were sick!
We were sick at the thought!
We never lose our grip,
and end up sick at the bottom!
Fed on the dirt!
Laid on the land!
Never gave a day away!
Never gave a damn!
Read all we could!
Shed all we had!
Every dirty germ
another lesson that threads into man!
We were sick!
We were sick at birth!
Stuck around, had our fun!
Stuck a fork, we were done!
We were sick!
We covered the earth!
Us and all our friends,
and anyone getting us medicine!
We were sick!
Sick in the brain!
Too young to kill
Too old to contain!
Stick out our tongue catchin the acid rain!
We were high! We were alive! We were sick!
Never pure, Never aware
Never a cure, Never a care
Never a need, Never a damn, the legacy!

Oh-way-oh-a-whoa
We were born in the desert,
we were reared in a cave..
We conquered in the sun,
but we lived in the shade
Yeah baby we were savage..
we existed to kill..
Our history is damaged,
at least it was a thrill!
But now we can see!
Now that our vision is strong,
we dont have to admit we were wrong!
Now we can see,
but the images don't stick!
Our enemies lay dead on the ground,
and still we kick!
Oh-way-oh-a-whoa
Now we can see!
The warnings and the signs..
Reading between the lines like writing on the wall!
Now we can see!
What do we need?
We should need nothing, nothing at all!
We were born on an island,
we grew out of the sand..
Never saw another creature,
never knew another man..
Yeah baby we were nothing,
we existed for less!
Our present was empty,
our history a mess!
but now we can see!
Now we do as we please!
Now we do away with our disease!
Now we can see!
Now the image sticks!
We still need the medicine quick!
We still take the pill,
but only for the fix!
Now we can see!
The warnings and the signs..
Reading between the lines like writing on the wall!
Now we can see!
What do we need?
We should need nothing, nothing at all!
Oh-way-oh-a-whoa
Yeah now we can see!

Liquid In, Liquid Out
It's what my life was all about
It's what my life was all about, it was all about
Saturate, fill me up
Liquidate, empty my cup
It's what my life was all about
It's what my life was all about, it was all about
Salivate, ring the bell
Clean the plate, my slate as well
It's what my life was all about
It's what my life was all about, it was all about
Drank the sun, drank the rain
Down the river, down the drain
I never went, I never went without
Liquid In, Liquid Out
It's what my life was all about
It's what my life was all about, it was all about

I've seen a ceiling of screens
Shaped like clouds in the sky
I saw a wall, it was all between me
And where I'll lie
I laid on a bed with my head
Spinning zero and one into two
Dreaming of you
And how we fade
I laid in a shower of color and numbers
And numbers and words
I opened my eyes and my ears and my eyes
And I saw and I heard
I opened my mouth, nothing came out
Nothing at all I could do
Dreaming of you
And how we fade
I dug a hole
It was only as deep
As the ground I had known
I fell asleep
Just so I wouldn't be left to die all alone
I opened my mouth, hoping to shout
Hoping the words were true
Dreaming of you
Dreaming of you
And how we fade
