Worker Bees 03:14
Worker bees can fly away, and the drones can leave Remember that, the Queen is their slave The higher you fly, the farther you fall The worlds lost its faith, in humanity Our ignorance wont set us free What kind of sick world, will we leave behind? When you feel like letting go, just let it go When you feel like letting go, just let it go You need to give it time, you need to lose control Again and again, until the day we die Inspiration. Till its under your skin When you feel like letting go, just let it go When you feel like letting go, just let it go So, you thought that you could rule the world But you were just a cog, inside of a machine Then you woke up, you finally felt alive Its hard to find what we’re searching for I cant remember what it is we’ve lost When we were young we chose our own path When you feel like letting go, just let it go When you feel like letting go, just let it go

Southbound 02:57
Tucked away on a south bound train and I loved hitchhiking over the big mountain. I dig deep in my memories, the good life I have lived In the bank I got no currency and the friends I made man they set me free I’m looking back on how it used to be, these are my memories It reminds me of being young It reminds me of being young Every Friday afternoon, with 2 pints in our pockets we head to the practice room And when the music hits We don’t feel no pain at all In my heart I felt, what I knew was true Back then I did not know about the great wide world Traveled to the ends of the earth, these are my memories It reminds me of being young It reminds me of being young

What are you searching for tonight? I’m looking for a place to sleep tonight So I can wake up early, be the first one out So I can wake up early, be the first one out Al‘most everyone has their own story But everyone needs release Al‘most everyone has their own story And everyone needs In 20 years from now you will be more disappointed By things you didn’t do than the one you did Throw off the bowlines sail away Throw off the bowlines sail away Black sand beachbreaks in Mexico Huevos, Rancheros el pinto We left the city lights so far behind We left the city lights so far behind Waiting for the midnight train To take us far across the earth Waiting for the midnight train To take us far across What are you searching for tonight? What are you searching for tonight? I’m looking for a place to call my own Everybody’s waiting, waiting I’m looking for a place to call my own So cast of the bowlines Sail away from this I know, some place I gotta go So cast of the bowlines Sail away from this I know, some place I gotta go So far behind So far behind So far behind We left the city lights so far behind

I been drinking, with my friends and family I’ve been drinking, sometimes it’s just me So I ask all of you to look deep inside of your hearts And take you back, to what we felt, we felt, right at the start The love we share and our music is true It’s the feeling inside of me, and you I been drinking, with my friends and family I’ve been drinking, sometimes it’s just me My own team with my own rules Sometimes I win and sometimes you lose My own team with my own rules sometimes I win, but you still lose Another one of those days, its been a long month but I got laid I got laid, did you hear me say That I just got laid yeah I got laid yeah I got laid laid ladyed This guy took me home with him last night It was pretty amazing we made it last all night Inside his bed when he tried to take his pants off And that’s when he said... I said yeah I been drinking, with my friends and family I’ve been drinking, sometimes it’s just me

Burning Out 03:31
We’re burning, We’re burning out Are we the products of a sick society? Are we really burning out? We don’t know, where we’re going. We are lab rats. running on a wheel Going fast in the same direction, isnt getting us anywhere The more we run the higher the flames rise, we’re burning ourselves out We're burning out We're burning out We're burning out We're burning out Is our value system so corrupt? Whats the measure of our self worth? Instead of discovery, Instead of re-inventing, we just roll along Our focus narrow and singular, I cant breathe deeply anymore We’ve lost meaning and direction –we’re burning ourselves out We're burning out We're burning out We're burning out We're burning out Where are the great, pioneers of our age? We were so young, and then we burned out We were enlightened, We thought we knew it all We were so young, and then we burned out We're burning out We're burning out We're burning out We're burning out

We’re dying. For 30 long years, I gave 100% to be the best that I can be Aspirations, they’re dangerous devices caught up in the moment - I don’t know The meaning, of self restraint, I got a ticket but to stop is now too late Learn to, see the world through different eyes, I tried I just cant let it go We’re dying. I’ve never had, a strong sense of self confidence its true I am susceptible Temptations, they’re so overpowering I cant resist cant let it go The consequences, of letting go, I can weigh it up – I know the risk My strength comes, through riding out these amber waves of sonic sound inside my mind My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window, and I can't see at all And even if I could it'll all be grey, but your picture on my wall It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad. We’re dying. For thirty years I gave everything my bodies broken my spirits numb, and I can’t ever let it go We’re dying

My bodies a petrol bomb I gotta feeling in my bones that I’m not gonna make it I’m broken up every day I die, but every night I’m born again When I’m with halfprice and I wanna kill myself Its time to take that hate and put it on the shelf cos Cos we still got so many years of this shit, I wanna live it, I wanna feel it So hard, I wanna feel it. And to explode. I wanna live in it and never let it go Trying to pick ourselves up for the weekend We believe in excess but its so hard Trying to pick ourselves up for the weekend Kick start your body, so hard it hurts Tell myself to get up but I don’t wanna go The boys are here and we headed to a show I I said fuck man is this really real? Where’s the devil, I need to make a deal Alive at midnight and I’m feeling the rush, a supersonic wave of self destruction We’re gonna die when the sun comes up, we’re gonna party dead or alive So hard, I wanna feel it. And to explode. I wanna live in it and never let it go Trying to pick ourselves up for the weekend We believe in excess but its so hard Trying to pick ourselves up for the weekend Kick start your body, so hard it hurts So hard it hurts
