Words and music by Jonny Sonic

If silence is golden, then our noise is diamonds.

Diamonds

I'm at the end of my rope now. Time to tip over my sacred cow.

Blue #3

It’s better to feel like a survivor than a victim. So I change perspective.

Loose Ends

For the sake of the republic that we're all living in, For the fate of the public and our future's kin, For our place in politics in the global zen, I, this Republican't win. So stop me.

Republican't

My brain is burning, yearning for learning. But these talking heads keep talking at me. So, turn it off.

Turn it off

We're all doing the best we can with what we got. Even if what we got ain't enough sometimes.

Caretaker

We can't lose the light, we can't lose the hope that our worlds can spin to the sevens.

Spin Sevens

Some days I feel like I am falling. That’s when I know I’ve got to play.

Nocnokturn

Love wins, love conquers hate. We'll be our own saving grace.

Outnumbered

This is now.

Integer

I must wait until it's my turn to see you again. I must wait until it's my turn to kiss you.

Separation Anxiety

I think I need to upgrade my shit. Time for a little maintenance.

Upgrade

Rock on, you cock my adrenaline. Make a gentleman feel relevant again.

Seminal

We tend to race right through.

Rugout

We are the ones who burn this, we burn the beauty of it all.

Phantasm

It's another bout. It's another bout. Don't know what it's about. But it's all out fucking with me.

Episode

The sale: do anything to make that sale. The sale: do anything to make that dollar bill.

The Sale

I'm so down and beat from beating down and pounding on this pace. I let myself down again today.

Sickline

We have everything we need and we're gonna do what we please.

Slow Motion

Buy everything! It don't matter if you really need it. It don't matter if you're feeling greedy. Charge it, consume it, repeat it. What you want is what you need.

Buy Everything

If it walks like rape and talks like rape then there's no other way that it can't be rape.

GenNext

I'll make my own opinions and I'll live by my ways. I'll make my own decisions and I'll mean the words I say.

Conduit

Gotta look at it another way, think of it another way.

ReVision

I'm just looking to take with me all the love I've felt throughout our ride.

The Shift

Before you shut the gate on them, look around at who you're leaving in, and ask yourself honestly where do you think you fit in. Do you call yourself a citizen?

Citizens

When we twist our heads around, you know we'll feel much better. When your world comes crashing down, you gotta push it up, push it out, push it down.

Enaction

Can we be friends again? Can we make amends? Can time tend to wounds so we don't have to mend them?

Underbrushers

If y'all wanna start this and your conscience is spotless: cast the first stone, bring it on, bring it home.

Cast Stones

Tonight's the night when we might just lose it. It's like the night when we heard new music.

New Music

Do you feel like going out tonight, or do you feel like taking it easy?

Datenight

It's that time again, fuckin with the puppets in my head.

Quickdays

It's just like fucking Christmas: you never get everything you want.

F-mas

We better do something to please us. Let us know that we need us. Check the requisite.

Requisite

When I feel free is when i can see that i don't have all i want, but i have everything i need.

Decompressor

I hesitate. Can't get these thoughts up in my head straight.

Hold up

I've got to force myself to stop and look around to what I got, and keep saying what I need to say.

Mixtape

How much bread would US-bred men spend if US-bred men would spend bread?

Levee

What's keeping you up at night?

Night Sweats

I thought we thought the same, I thought we agreed to be on the same page, But now the page is turning and I'm learning to count our numbered days.

Lukewarm

Say it again without your mouth full!

Cue

No one here speaks my language, No one here has my currency.

Pesos y Euros

All the time in the world means i still have tomorrow to find my head and to move my feet.

In Line

Tell me again: what's your name? what's your purpose?

Identification Card (vienna)

Hey hey, do ya wanna come over and cook some steaks?

Steaks

So go ahead and tell me: how you're doing with all these thoughts that are swirling round your head.

Whiney

You're spittin out that bourbon sass, girl. Gettin crass, girl. Fill your glass, girl.

Bourbon Sass

It's a dumb day, a numb Monday.

Dumb Day

They're coming in your head again because you didn't take your medicine again.

Medicine

We really got to fall deep into the ground before we turn around.

Sore

Droppin all the crumbs. Let me lick that spoon if you're done.

The Dive

You'll never be the president because you never pick up your phone.
