01. Nothing
02. Fix

Feeling independent
I made it through another day
Having a wonderful time
I haven't felt the sickness
I think i may have scared it away
Looks like i'm gonna be fine
My friend down on the corner says it's gonna be alright
He's handing me a needle and he sells me a fix
And says i'll see you here tomorrow

Feeling self-sufficient
It's nice to finally be in control
I'd have it no other way
I do it when i want to let the good times roll
Each and every day
It's gonna be good times
Pats me on the shoulder

03. Almost There
04. Whole
05. Lullaby
06. Hymn
