Like a siren in my head and there is no emergency,
Like a blind man that is strapped into the speeding driver's seat,
Like a face that learned to speak, when all it knew was how to bite,
Like a hurt that keeps me focused though I've think gone astray,
Like a load of rain that i must awaken from each day.

Like a dream,
A beautiful dream,
Not worthy of so i deny ...... yeah.

You close your eyes and try to wish it all into place,
You never opened them so it passed you by.
You close your eyes so you may never fall from grace,
you open just in time to say goodbye.

Almost like your life,
Almost like your endless fight,
Struggling along,
Balancing in right and wrong,
Why is it so hard,
Always pull the joker card,
Almost like your fight,
And there it went,
Almost like your life.

[Solo]

Like a wound that keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think,
Like a spring that cannot be in current till it's time to drink,
Like a puzzel, with missing pieces, and the box is thrown away.

Like a release from prison that i didn't know i was in,
Like a fight to live the past i prayed to leave from way back then,
Like a general without a mission until the war will start again.

You close your eyes and try to wish it all into place,
You never opened them so it passed you by.
You close your eyes so you may never fall from grace,
you open just in time to say goodbye.

Almost like your life,
Almost like your endless fight,
Struggling along,
Balancing in right and wrong,
Why is it so hard,
Always pull the joker card,
Almost like your fight,
And there it went,
Almost like your life. .... yeah.... ohh yeah.
ohhhhhhhhhh yeaahh.

[Solo]

Like a touch from hell to feel how hot that it can get if you get caught,
Like a touch from heaven on this breeze that brings you straight down to your knees,

Like a touch from hell to feel how hot that it can get if you get caught,
Like a touch from heaven on this breeze that brings you straight down to your knees,

ohhhh yeaahhh.

Almost like your life,
Almost like your endless fight,
Struggling along,
Balancing in right and wrong,
Why is it so hard,
Always pull the joker card,
Almost like your fight,
And there it went,
Almost like your life.

That was just your life.

    The U.S. Postal Service has announced that they will be closing some post offices, and in anticipation of it happening, many people have been trying to find the list of Post Offices to close. The list of Post Offices to close is not yet official, as the USPS is only studying locations to determine if they should remain open or not. Those stations under review are listed at the post office regulatory agency website, at prc.gov, and no post offices will close down before September 30th, if they do decide to close certain locations. However, if the USPS doesn't get any emergency money, they may well have to add to the locations on the <a href="personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/08/04/list-post-offices-close-growing-steadily/"><strong>list of post offices to close</strong></a>.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head &gt; Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
