Track Name: In Full Bloom
Frowning, frowning, I am thinking 'bout my past life
Staring, staring, stars are appearing in the dark sky
So many days, I threw away
Shed the past, shed the past,
I'll make my way...

In Full Bloom!

Wake up, wake up
And I smell, the smell of coffee
I go outside, and the sun is all around me

I shed the past, a snake sheds it's skin
Wonder when, wonder when will life begin?

In Full Bloom!
I go outside and the sun is all around me.
Track Name: Ceiling
He says the sky is blue, when it is raining
I find his muddy shoes, his shirt was full of blood

Asked him what was wrong, "you're spying," he says
"I'm out of here." Never saw him again

All by myself, staring at the ceiling.

Every now and then, I feel someone watching.
i just scratch my head, now he's the governor

All by myself, staring at the ceiling.
Track Name: Sorry
Feelin' out of place, so in my room I stay.
But something gnaws away, it's the color of my face.

They wish that I was dead. Chased in the halls by
the bloodiest kid.
It kicked me in the head, now I can't get up from bed.

You're sorry I'm alive. You're sorry I'm alive, just tryin' to survive.
Something I"ll never be, something you'll never see.
What the hell, what the hell do you want from me?

I wonder how it ends. Mom called the cops but
they won't do anything.
In the town we just moved in, no one wants to be our friend.

You're sorry I'm alive. You're sorry I'm alive, just tryin' to survive.
Something I'll never be, something you'll never see.
What the hell, what the hell do you want from me?

Nobody can see, what lies ahead.
But their simple minds, guarantee
They'll never see.
Track Name: Self-Destruct
At the age of 63, he found out that he would be reamed, lost his job
now he can't see, why he left the factory,
sits in his rockingchair and thinks.
Now he watches CNN, the future looks like it is dim,
will he go through with his
suicidal plans?

Self-Destruct

In his car outside a bank, he nods his
head, begins to pray. Thinks about the pearly gates, airline to heaven everyday. Takes inside a loaded gun, grabs some cash but doesn't run,
county jail might sound like fun,
he gives up facedown in the mud.

Self-Destruct,
just gave up.

He's been in jail about 8 months,
but now he got the charges
dropped, was it justice that he got?
The prosecuters hooked him up. He won
the judges sympathy, now his probation guarantee, maybe next time he'll think clearly.

Self-Destruct
just gave up.
Self-Destruct
will he change his luck?
Track Name: I'm The Sun
I'm the Sun! I dazzle everyone!
I change the dirt from mud, I'm energy and love.

Centerpiece, of every galaxy, I make everyone happy. From Hollywood to Lombard Street so please don't mess with me!
I made a bad mistake, cuz clouds got in my way. My skies start to change from blue to grey!

I made a bad mistake, cuz clouds got in my way.
My skies and my eyes both start to rain.

Sympathy is all I really need, so throw flowers at my feet, as I strut around and do anything to be on your TV screen!

I made a bad mistake, cuz clouds got in my way.
My skies and my eyes both start to rain.
A rainbow stays behind the grey.
I feel my life slip-slide away. But I feel better when I say...
I'm the sun.
