1) My Favorite Headache (4:44)
One Man Standing On The Plains Of Abraham
Watching A Damaged Sunrise
One Man Standing Near The Edge
Of A Quiet BreakdownI Watch The Sea
It Helps To Anchor Me
I Watch The Sea
It Helps To Anchor MeOnce You Start Hiding
You Keep On Hiding
Till Your Paranoia Calms Down
Once You Start Watching
You Keep On Watching
Till You're Tied Up And You're SpellboundJust Between The Ice Ages Anyway
I Want To Talk But I Haven't Got
Too Much To Say
I Don't Mean To Be So Nihilistic
Forgive Me If I Seem To Be Too RealisticOnce You Start Running
You Keep On Running
Till Your Muscles Start To Breakdown
Once You Start Falling
You Keep On Falling
Till You Hit The Cold. Cold GroundI Watch T.v.
What Do You Want From Me
I Watch T.v.
What Do You Want From MeJust Between The Ice Ages Anyway
I Want To Talk But I Haven't Got
Enough To Say
I Don't Mean To Be So Nihilistic
Forgive Me If I Seem To Be Too RealisticOnce You Start Hiding
You Keep On Hiding
Till You Feel You're Safe And Sound
Once You Start Watching
You Keep On Watching
Till You're Tied Up And You're SpellboundI Watch The Sea
It Helps To Anchor Me
I Watch The Sea
I Saw It On T.V.2) The Present Tense (3:25)
2) The Present Tense (3:25)
Living In The Present Tense
When You Lose The Past
And The Future Makes No Sense
You're Living In The Present TenseCrawling Out, Secure And Confident
Imbued With Innocence
Ready For The Whirl
Suddenly The View Was More Intense
Living In A Different Kind Of WorldYou're Living
Living In The Present Tense
There's Nothing To Blame
No Victim Of Consequence
You're Living In The Present TenseSomething You Said
It Made Me
Step Outside ..the Moment
Eyes Pan Right And Left
Around My WorldOpen Yourself
Up To The Possibility
Aware Of Some Reality
Outside Your WorldIn A Silent Universe
The Moment Can Be So Real
You Almost Can't Stand ItIn A Distant Universe
Distracted From Ourselves
You Can't Help But WonderIn A Crowded Universe
When The Talking Turns To Noise
You Almost Start LaughingYou're Living
Living In The Present Tense
When You Lose The Past
And The Future Makes No Sense
You're Living In The Present Tense
Nothing To Blame
No Victim Of Consequence
You're Living In The Present Tense3) Window To The World (3:01)

Give Me That Window To The WorldWe Are Sailing, Flailing Through The Ether
You've Been Trailing, Failing Me With You're
View Of BlissGive Me That Window To,
Give Me That Window To,
Give Me That Window To The WorldA Little More Than This,
A Little Less Than That,
You've Got Magic In Your HandsA Little More Like This,

Nothing Blooms
In A Loveless Room
You've Got To Want It
You've Got To Want ItWho's The Fool
Where Apathy Rules
You've Got To Want It
You've Got To Want ItIf You Don't Want It
It Remains The Same
It's A Heart Of Darkness
That Wants To Play That Game
If There's No Defiance
It Remains Insane
If It's All Compliance
It's A Runaway TrainNothing So Cruel
Where Malevolence Rules
You've Got To Want It
You've Got To Want ItThere Is No Defence
Against Pointed Arrogance
You've Got To Want It
You've Got To Want ItIf You Don't Want It
It Remains The Same
It's A Heart Of Darkness
That Wants To Play That Game
It Can Be Surprising
When You Lose The Shame
And The Sun Starts Rising
Another Day To TameIf You're Heart Is Aching
Just Remove The Shame
You've Got To Want ItGive Your Soul A Shaking
And Refuse The Blame
You've Got To Want ItWho's The Fool
Where Apathy Rules
You've Got To Want It
You've Got To Want ItIf You Don't Want It
It Remains The Same
It's A Heart Of Darkness
That Wants To Play That Game
If There's No Defiance
It Remains Insane
If It's All Compliance
It's A Runaway TrainIt's A Runaway Train

Meant To Tell You
Tell You From The Start
Meant To Show You
What's Inside This Shallow Heart
But I Could Not Find The Words
Worthy Enough To SayI Slipped Along The Way
I Slipped Along The WayTried To Be There
Be There When You Fall
Tried To Make You Feel Big
When Life Makes You Feel Small
But I Could Not Find The Steps
Quickly Enough To TakeI Slipped Along The Way
I Slipped Along The WayWant To Change Things
Want To Clear The Air
Fix The Things Around Us
So Badly In Need Of Repair
But I Might Not Have The Sense
Sense Enough To ChangeI Slipped Along The Way

10) Still (4:29)
Trick Of The Light
Or Just
A Loss Of Perspective
Flaw In The Grand Plan
Just
The Way It IsLooks Good From A Distance
But
The Closer I Come
It...
Becomes More Daunting
But
These Moments Will PassStill
Halfway Up The Hill
My Fingers May Bleed
But I've Got To Get There
Still
Standing On The Hill
My Spirit's Released
But I've Got To Get ThereLost In An Abstract Thought
Dazed And Distracted
Winded Yet Still I'm Caught
With A Fragment Of Doubt
Slowed By Reflection
But
These Moments Will PassStill
Halfway Up The Hill
My Fingers May Bleed
But I've Got To Get There
Still
Standing On The Hill
My Spirit's Released
But I've Got To Get ThereIt's Just Confusion
An Illusion
Easily Overdone
Here Comes Resolution
AbsolutionIt's Not An Illusion
Not A Fiction
Easily Overcome
Here Comes Revolution
AbsolutionTrick Of The Light
Or Just
Too Much Perspective
Looks Good From A Distance
But
The Closer I Come
It
Becomes More Daunting
But
These Moments Will PassStill
