{Instrumental version, but lyrics are as follows} (1:04) An age ago a village sat beside an earthly mound! A dragon slept within the cave some local peasants found! It nightly set the land ablaze, a situation dire! The elders chose a champion to battle with the fire on high! (1:47) The hero set off towards the hills to slay the demon there! And though the path proved perilous he quickly found its lair! To kill the beast that dwelt within, his singlemost desire! He bravely stepped into the cave awakening the fire on high! (2:11) on HIGH! (3:02) The battle raged on The noble youth soon tired But he knew he would prevail, for he had the gods on his side! (3:26) The champion, our chosen one, had too much trust in fate! The dragon struck a mortal blow against its battlemate! The beast then showed the town below its vengeance and its ire! The moral is you'll never win if you try to fight the fire on high! (3:49) on HIGH!

How long'd ya see? (How long'd ya see?) That side of me... The darker side of me How long'd ya know? (How long'd ya know?) We wouldn't go... That we could never... Comin' through what I gotta do there's Anxiety, inside of me Fruit is bruised, and the trigger's used There's a part of me, that wants to see, what I can be, whatever's free For you... How long'd ya see? (How long'd ya see?) That side of me... The darker side of me How long'd ya know? (How long'd ya know?) We wouldn't go... That we could never... How long'd it take? (How long'd it take?) To see the fake... To see right through the fake How long'd ya see? (How long'd ya see?) That side of me... The lighter side of me Looking down to the underground There's a teenage dream, a busted seam Draining fluid, my thoughts are lucid And raggled cream, above the bream, the sighting seem, the salmon teem For you... How long'd ya see? (How long'd ya see?) That side of me... The darker side of me How long'd ya know? (How long'd ya know?) We wouldn't go... That we could never go How long'd it take? (How long'd it take?) To see the fake... To see right through the fake How long'd ya see? (How long'd ya see?) That side of me... The lighter side of me Coming closer, the feeling's over The gun is loaded, the body's bloated Let's ditch this town as we hit the ground Runnin' out and over through the fields of clover And the fields of pain and the pouring rain As the train goes by, so does my alibi Once the world is gone and we've moved along Can we really say where we were today, my dear?

{Instrumental}

I remember like yesterday when you put me in my place With my hands upon your backside and your soul upon my face You reminded me just what it felt like to never be alone Then you shot me to my deathbed with the collar on the phone I'm going home... What am I left with when I'm running out of hope I'm gunning out of options, grasping every wretched rope My deepest downs are pulling to my utter pit of shame And when I've reached the bottom will I even know my name? Just when I think I'm at my worst An angelic savior vampire comes to wet her demon thirst But I'm a man, I can change, and I can feel, tho it's strange, There's some good things 'round the corner and I'm piloting this train Though I've nothing much to live for, I've got a lot to live And it should go without saying I've a lot of love to give So here's the plan: I'll make myself a man, I'll conquer all my fears I'll take you by the hand In six months to a year... So what of skill and talent when the presentation's shot When band is made of nothing and is passed out on the lot The cloak-and-dagger drum line does a stunning spinnerette And everybody ever's watching, but no one gives a sh- Just when I think I'm at my worst An angelic savior vampire comes to quench her demon thirst But I'm a man, I can change, and I can feel, tho it's strange, There's some good things 'round the corner and I'm piloting this train Though I've nothing much to live for, I've got a lot to live And it should go without saying I've a lot of love to give So here's the plan: I'll make myself a man, I'll conquer all my fears I'll take you by the hand IN SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR... But Stop: Reality Check, it's all a foolish dream I've got a self-tied noose around my neck, with sulfur in the seams It's a daily battle just to live, a war I cannot win And all I've really got to give is all I've ever been so tell me what you see... Once truth has set us free... DO YOU SEE ME? DO YOU SEE ME? DO YOU SEE ME? DO YOU SEE ME? do you see... anything?

{Instrumental version, but partial lyrics are below} [Chorus] I will not surrender I will defend what's me My faith will still render My solidarity I will not be silenced I will not stand aside Mute and controlled violence I will defend my pride [Bridge] Some days you just don't know how much more of this world you can take Before you snap before you crack before you crumble and break

Let's take another look at just what we've become Corrupt devoid of faith Subtraction gives the sum The promises you made now languish in the sty Why can't you see you cannot say goodbye Who knows what lies behind your smiling beaming face But when we cross the aisle his also brings disgrace What man can save the world when limited to two No lesser strikes a chord our choices are so few The laughingstock has come inhabits all our soul And neither us nor them Has paths to any goal The promises you made now languish in the sty Why can't you see YOU CANNOT SAY GOODBYE G.T.F.O.!!!!! G.T.F.O.!!!!! G.T.F.O.!!!!! G.T.F.O.!!!!! rejoice and rebirth and return to what is now we have no answer we don't even have the how the numbers don't add up hypocrisy is nigh presenting problems with solutions not behind what good is screaming if no answer is in heart your words no better than your enemies' remarks divided not united is our casual way dyslexic devolution disembowels today All that you owe Seeds that you sow GTFO Time to let go

Who am I? Why am I here? What is this world and what is this fear? Where is the light that I cannot see? I am alone, alone and I'm free Free to explore To see what I find To see what is here in this short lifetime So come on inside Look into my eyes Can't say you'll like what you see, but Welcome To My Mind Red and blue Black and white Light as day as dark as night Trouble in politics All those stupid magic tricks How to live How to grow Does life suck or does it blow Science and religion clash Hey fanatics kiss my ass Am I crazy? Am I nuts? I feel like my mind is burnt slashed and cut There must be a way out I cannot see A way to break out of this nightmare that's me Open my eyes, wake me up from this dream! No way to clear this mind-fog it seems... Please unlock my door you might like what you'll find! Come take a look around Welcome To My Mind Red and blue Black and white Light as day as dark as night Trouble in politics All those stupid magic tricks How to live How to grow Does life suck or does it blow Science and religion clash Hey fanatics kiss my ass Paranoia everywhere Schizos try to cut my share Psychos making friends with me People that I cannot see Cursed with twisted blessings I Try to find truth in the sky Alien conspiracy Open my mind set me free tonight What am I left with, out on the street? I've been betrayed, abandoned, decieved! Left to kill myself in my own time! All I can say is Welcome To My Mind Red and blue Black and white Light as day as dark as night Trouble in politics All those stupid magic tricks How to live How to grow Does life suck or does it blow Science and religion clash Hey fanatics kiss my ass Paranoia everywhere Schizos try to cut my share Psychos making friends with me People that I cannot see Cursed with twisted blessings I Try to find truth in the sky Alien conspiracy Open my mind set me free tonight Welcome To My Mind...

I think it's 'bout time that I head up north 'Cause I know what the Canucks and the Ruskies are worth I'm gonna settle in the snow and I'll carve out a dome And soon, yeah it's startin' to feel a bit - like - Tundra, Tundra! Dark days, white as snow Tundra, Tundra! I know right where I wanna go I think I'll head up to Siberia 'Cause it's the sleeping land loaded with diptheria I'll tell the czar where he can stick it as I make my abode Or I'll find gold in Alaska, strike the motherload But I don't need material riches, I've got nature's shine 'Cause the hills and streams and forests are mine, all mine! A little cabin in the pines near the city of Nome And then, yeah it's startin' to feel a bit - like - Tundra, Tundra! Dark days, midnight sun Tundra, Tundra!

Where the wolves'll always keep me from feelin' alone Yeah, it's startin' to feel a bit - like - home! Hundred husky hounds for my dog-team sled We gotta keep a movin' 'fore the cold freezes us dead Through the coniferous trees on my alpine skis I'll skirt the timberline up to the frozen seas With my pal the snowy owl and the lynx's howl And all the crazy taiga tigers, all out on the prowl I'll pick the barren landscape with a fine-tooth comb Yeah, it's startin' to feel a bit - like Tundra, Tundra! Dark days, midnight sun Tundra, Tundra! In the polar night is where I'll make my fun With the trees and the wind and the ice and the snow That's the place where I wanna go To the Tundra, Tundra! Where glaciers hold watch o'er crystal waters' flow I said, Yeah, it's startin' to feel a bit like home! Yeah, it's startin' to feel a bit - like - home!
