Distorted and complicated
I'm sorry but it's over
Essential to awaken
How moving
Here we are
That's what it's all about
I'm sorry but it's over
To love here and to love this
I'm finally breathing
Before you go
There is something more to say
Persistent resentment
I'm sorry but it's over
Seduction for destruction
I'm finally breathing
To love this, all this
It's what it's all about all the way
Before you go
I think I'm awake, rolling on my blanket
I am sinking into the bed, light around me
Beautiful washes of pulsating color
Buzzing white noise, it sounds like one hundred bees
I too once thought the radio played
Let's act like children while we sleep paralyzed
I too once thought the radio played
Let's act like children while we sleep paralyzed
Pulsing, you control it
Body's asleep and your mind is awake
I too once thought the radio played
Let's act like children while we sleep paralyzed
I too once thought the radio played
Let's act like children while we sleep paralyzed
I too once thought the radio played
Let's act like children while we sleep paralyzed
I too once thought the radio played
I can't even concentrate on this
It's over thought, anticipated
The pen ink is running dry
It's been thrown to paper and wasted
Creativity has been blocked and over tasted
Maybe in time, I'll appreciate it
Hold on, hold on
We'll be with you soon
These papers are stuck in this book
Until they're torn out and pasted
To the inside of my memory
Where I can later look and see them in a new gallery
Where they can later be viewed and appreciated
Hold on, hold on
We'll be with you soon
We'll be with you
Longing for what has been lost
Longing for what hasn't been obtained
It's a small cost, forgot the past, lost the future
Only now remains
Hold on, hold on
We'll be with you soon
I'm the addict on the corner
I'm the lawyer in the tower
I'm the body with the coroner
No, the leader with all the power
You're the pillow, the cool side
The sand during high tide
The cocktail, poolside
The water when clouds collide
From the inside out we were formed
From the inside out we will fall
Soon this all will come to an end
I'm a local but a foreigner
Still the addict yet I'm sober
Still the body with the coroner
Many friends yet still a loner
You're the pillow, the cool side
The sand during high tide
The cocktail, poolside
The water when clouds collide
From the inside out we were formed
From the inside out we will fall
Soon this all will come to an end
Soon this all will come to an end
From the inside out we were formed
From the inside out we will fall
Soon this all will come to an end
Soon this all will come to an end
He said: patience is the key to
For a change to ensue
Warm the arctic cold
And drop down
To the ground
Wait for the sound
Of the cold
Take these words
You'll have your day
Live it as your last
He said: love will build your heart and
Bring you up from the sand
Now i wish to go
Accept you bravery
For it is all we are
It's all we are
Take these words
Be on your way
You will find your
Now...
He said: faith, distrust, and reason
With this you'll be kneeling
Before the world
And drop down
To the ground
It's all we are
It's all we are
Take these words
Be on your way
You will find your
Now....
I harmonize with a million screaming laughs
That haunted those before us
Preaching symphonies while the chorus yelled: "Unity!"
It's based on facts, It's based on facts
You spit-shined my corroded halo
Then packaged it away
You spit-shined my corroded halo,
Then left it to decay.
Will you watch your step
The boring story's left
You're feeling lost
"In here," she said
"Come in here"
The pain won't last
You spit-shined my corroded halo,
Then packaged it away
You spit-shined my corroded halo,
Then left it to decay.
Take this weight off my shoulders
And move it to my brain
Take this weight off my shoulders
And move it to my brain
You spit-shined my corroded halo,
Then packaged it away
You spit-shined my corroded halo,
Then left it to decay.
You spit-shined my corroded halo,
Then packaged it away
You spit-shined my corroded halo,
Then left it to decay.
One Two Three Four
I wonder while I'm running around again
I took my chances
I may have lost my best friend
Yeah I wonder
Like sprinting on a frozen pond..I took my chances
I may have lost my best friend
A couple of drinks mid-day mid-day mid-day
Haven't felt this way this way since yesterday
A couple of drinks I sway I sway I sway
Haven't felt this way since yesterday
I wonder while I'm running around again
I took my chances
I may have lost my best friend
Yeah I wonder
Like sprinting on a frozen pond I took my chances
I may have lost my best friend
(a couple of drinks, a couple of drinks)
(a couple of drinks, a couple of drinks)
A couple of drinks mid-day mid-day mid-day
Haven't felt this way this way since yesterday
Beginning to sink and fade and fade and fade
There's nothing that I would trade to feel this way
I wonder while I'm running around again
I took my chances
I may have lost my best friend
Yeah I wonder
Like sprinting on a frozen pond I took my chances
I may have lost my best friend
(a couple of drinks, a couple of drinks)
(various vocal background noises)
I wonder while I'm running around again
I took my chances
I may have lost my best friend
Yeah I wonder
Like sprinting on a frozen pond I took my chances
I may have lost my best friend
I wonder...running around again
I wonder...may have lost my best friend
I wonder...running around again
I wonder...may have found my best friend
[Instrumental]
The old returns
While the new can bore
'Cuz you're the one who fell
Into a self created hell
We've worn it out
It took time to realize
It's a chore to recognize
What your world could take
It's overgrown
Take it all away now
Real soon we'll take this all the way down
The old returns
While the new can bore
'Cuz you're the one who fell
Into a self created hell
There is no way out
When you build a stubborn shell
That shields from any help
We've worn it out
You tried to maximize
But it came as no surprise
You hurled a stake
To your own dome
Take it all away now
Real soon we'll take this all the way down
Please, Don't, Go, Stay
The old returns
While the new can bore
'Cuz you're the one who fell
Into a self created hell
There is no way out
When you build a stubborn shell
That shields from any help
The old returns
While the new can bore
'Cuz you're the one who fell
Into a self created hell
Take it all away now
There is no way out (2x)
When you build a stubborn shell
That shields from any help
We've worn it out (2x)
The only things surrounding you now
Are the circular memories
Infect your conscience
They are the make up of your worries
Regrets and doubts
Elective betrayal of your person
Radiates confidence
Shine with silence
And shadow the ones below
This drought is leaving me
With cracked soil and brown leaves
Floating on a dry lake bed
With a dry mouth and a foggy head
Waiting for the snow
When the water comes
I will overflow
I will overflow
When the water comes
I will overflow
There's one more thing
I forgot to tell you
Worries and doubts
Will only help you
In the long run
You'll shadow the ones below
This drought is leaving me
With cracked soil and brown leaves
Floating on a dry lake bed
With a dry mouth and a foggy head
Waiting for the snow
When the water comes
I will overflow
I will overflow
When the water comes
She's to blame I'll erase routine,
With a spark to ignite the flame,
And in this struggle of guilt to tame,
It's freedom I'll obtain,
She tied me up,
Removed my crown,
Bittered all good taste,
Sorry for everything I've done,
I can't deny your stake
Look at what I have found
A seashell in a sea of shells
I'm good at planting my own seeds
To sprout endless hell
It's dark like Poe
Forgiveness came we embrace the key,
Found water to douse the flame,
We ended our difference of soul and brain,
Forever we have changed,
I've just set out on a brand new race,
Can we keep the pace,
I can't believe what we've become,
I'll leave without a trace.
Look at what I have found
A seashell in a sea of shells
I'm good at planting my own seeds
To sprout endless hell
It's dark like Poe
yeaah yeeeaaahhh
yeaah yeeeaaahhh...ohh ohh ohh
Look at what I have found
A seashell in a sea of shells
I'm good at planting my own seeds
To sprout endless hell
It's dark like Poe
Leave without a trace, I'll leave without a trace...
It's gone from light to grey
But I'll move those clouds away
Letting the sun shine through
In this ode to you
Let the demons have their place
if so its angels you'll create
and disguised within the dark
Light will wait
My heart, i owe you my soul
Will you
Please accept, please accept this ode
This is all for you, transcend
We flip towards the sun
wheels skidding on the run
a flowing sea of red
the whole city groans
My heart, I owe you my soul
Will you
Please accept, please accept this offer
This is all for you, transcend
Will you
Please accept, please accept this ode
This is all for you transcend fiasco
Rubber neck, passing motorists
mangled till you can't caress
repair this tattered skin
hold it in your hand
you've already glistened through the window
you've already set your soul free, free, free
Please accept, please accept this ode
This is all for you transcend
Will you
Please accept, please accept this ode
This is all for you transcend fiasco
rubberneck
passing motorist a mangled tuna-can-car rests
repair this tattered skin, hold it in youre hand
you've already glistened through the window
you've already set us all free, free, free
So you say
So you said it right
So you say
So you said it right
Waiting below
The sun's getting brighter
Downstairs, I dwell
So you say
So you said it right
So you say
So you said
Ceiling slowly squeezing me tighter
I'll lay down but won't run
Hoping now that this can get brighter
And that time will come
So you say
So you said it right
So you say
So you say
River is damned
I can't recorrect my path
Through this obstructed venture
It isn't flowing yet
Caught in his stare
Electricity travels through my wires where
They're reaching for it's core, electricity
Feeling sorry for yourself again
Feeling sorry for yourself again
So you say
So you say
So you say
Remove my hands and feet
Watch me crawl on my stubs
Throw me to the street
Watch me fall on down head first
It's not that simple
I've needed this from the start
To guide my way
To be okay
It's made life simple
I've needed this from the start to wake up
If all else fails
If all turns to dust
Set sail on a ship built from trust
If all else fails
And all starts to rust
Set sail on a ship built for us
Its time to retreat
I sawed it down to the bone
The canyons are too deep yeah
Decided to run like a child
Decided to run to rescue
Took too long to wake up
If all else fails
If all turns to dust
Set sail on a ship built from trust
If all else fails
And all starts to rust
Set sail on a ship built for us
It's not that simple
I've needed this from the start
To guide my way
To be okay
It's made life simple
I've needed this from the start to wake up
If all else fails
If all turns to dust
Set sail on a ship built from trust
If all else fails
And all starts to rust
Set sail on a ship built for us
For us for us
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
I was looking down at you smiling up at me
For once I held you tight, but shadowed arms grabbed at me
You're head was in the clouds, now those clouds are in your head
It's when you needed me, so I listened to what you said
Look another year went by,
They keep passing by,
God damn I didn't even die,
To old and slow I've grown,
Well I fought time but lost
It was love like a callas you scarred enough to be
Tough and immune, your body adapts you see
To all above my head, and all below my feet
Know that's one freedom you'll never take from me
Look another year went by,
They keep passing by,
God damn I didn't even die,
To old and slow I've grown,
Well I fought time but lost
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here,
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear.
Hold tight, hold tight
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here,
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear.
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here,
With these standards I'm forced to love make me disappear.
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Look another year went by
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
I looked to the sky
Saw my body die
Gotta reappear up there
It's where I want to be
In the university
I've found I've found my own college
I've found I've found a way to resolve this
I'm not inside you
You're all around me
Is this what you needed to have to comfort you
I waited all this time above you
Is this what you wanted
Is this what you needed to have
Take all that I've known
Is this what you wanted
Is this what you need me to fear
Take all that I've found...
I'm not inside you
You're all around me
Is this what you needed to have to comfort you
I waited all this time above you
I looked to the ground
Was pleased with what I found
Gotta reappear up here
It's where I'll always be
In the university
I've found I've found all my problems
I'm gone I'm gone finally solved this
I'm not inside you
You're all around me
Is this what you needed to have to comfort you
I waited all this time above you
So long to the hard and stormy weather
It's time for a cleansing
Nice try, but you can't avoid this forever
You know it makes you feel good
Feeding on your soul
You'll search for a cure
You'll want to be sure
You don't lose control
You'll want to be sure
That this is really you
So long since I can't even remember
It's time for renewal
You know that you won't have fun after
You know it makes you feel good
Feeding on your soul
You'll search for a cure
You'll want to be sure
You don't lose control
You'll want to be sure
That this is really you
Fell towards the fire
Shielding myself from sin
Things are looking brighter
This is the way I want to live
So long to the hard and stormy weather
It's time for a cleansing
Nice try, but you can't control me forever
Feeding on your soul
You'll search for a cure
You'll want to be sure
You don't lose control
I'll always be sure
You'll want to be sure
So long to the end
You'll always be there
But you are gone to me
The opera is over, singers have all gone home,
Seats are empty, the kitchen is closed,
The sidewalks are sprayed down,
The blinds are pulled down, foundations unstable,
The wrecking ball's back,
Quiet business vacancy, quiet business vacancy.
Rents are rising, our lease is up, culture is down.
The symphony's concluded,
The instruments are all cased up,
The notes are silent, music's still apparent.
Rents are rising, our lease is up,
Culture is down, spirits are jaded,
Art is trying, is art dead?
Art is trying, is art dead?
Believe it, we need to move on.
A one track mind in a one way time,
Let's go ahead and gentrify,
We let art die with robot minds,
They steal the brush and paint boundary lines.
A stale kind of people we'll find,
Walking in single file line,
I think it's time we finally rewind,
Let's go ahead, we might as well
Rents are rising, our lease is up,
Culture is down, spirits are jaded
Think we know
Oblivious though
Unified clones
Sit like stones
Up on thrones
Of fool's gold
Looking bold
But all alone
Restore our needed shelter
Sitting sideways
Something deep
Wading water
Pants at my knees
Fading with growth
Lie awake
Buried stones
All alone
Restore our needed shelter
Our flawless endeavors
To be alone
To be alone
Sitting sideways
Something deep
Wading water
Passing my knees
Sitting sideways
Something deep
Wading water
Pants at my knees
Fading with growth
Lie awake
Lie awake
I'm not your star
I'm not that beam of light
Here to save your life
To make your wallet fat
While mine's on a diet
It's not my greatest care
But simple needs are scarce
It's never-ending
It really seems unfair
But lately I don't care
I don't care about much
I've given up trying
So sing about love
Sing about lust
So they will care
It's the same difference
That's what happens when you play catch without arms
It's what sets, sets, sets us apart
That's what happens when you compromise your art
It's what sets, sets, sets us apart
We've got this far
I don't know if you care
But I think that you should swear
Or something of the sorts
Show me your trying
So sing about love
Sing about lust
So they will care
It's the same difference
That's what happens when you play catch without arms
It's what sets, sets, sets us apart
That's what happens when you compromise your art
It's what sets, sets, sets us apart
Set the beat so they will buy it
If there's a hook they can't deny it
Sing about love so they can feel it
Sing about love so they can sing it
Sing it
That's what happens when you play catch without arms
It's what sets, sets, sets us apart
That's what happens when you compromise your art
It's what sets, sets, sets us apart
I'm not your star
I'm not that beam of light
Here to save your life
Oh no
Not your star
Not that beam of light
Here to save your life
Oh no
Bring back those good ol' days
Nothing feels right
Nothing ever goes my way
I threw my future away
Now I walk alone
Out here in the cold
Wandering astray
Where's my future?
I'm gonna need a home
You'd expect the same, now wouldn't you, wouldn't you?
Your journey back to birth its haunting you it's haunting you
Your departure from the earth, its haunting you, it's haunting you
Only those who accept will find that acceptance in return
When you've been trimmed down like hedges,and told just to sit, and wilt, and spit at each other from a distance
With constant resistance from you
Gonna need a home
You'd expect the same now wouldn't you, wouldn't you?
Your journey back to birth is haunting you, it's haunting you
Your departure from the earth is haunting you, it's haunting you
It's been ten years strong, thats much too long
It's time to do something good for my health
Time to do somethin' good for myself
It's been ten years strong, thats much too long
It's time to do something good for my health
Time to do somethin' good for myself
I've wasted all this time, I've wasted all this time
Your journey back to birth is haunting you, it's haunting you
You departure from the earth is haunting you, it's haunting you
Your journey back to birth is haunting you, it's haunting you
Your departure from the earth is haunting you, it's haunting you
instrumental
Here we go - down that same old road again.
We're born into silence, then let all be,
Lift your anchor then just float astray,
Born into silence, then let it all be
Fortune in silence
Watch it explode
While fragments of ironies examples fly,
And hit the shore,
And tyranny is torn from the podiums,
Where leaders stand, but rule no more.
Pleading with nothing,
Why don't we lecture about something?
Protest the way, we're passive today.
Watch it explode
While it's not impossible for flowers to bloom and grow,
Next to graves, and babies are born in the same buildings where people go,
To pass away, to pass away
Pleading with nothing,
Why don't we lecture about something?
Protest the way, we're passive today.
We live like penguins in the desert,
Why can't we live like tribes?
We live like penguins in the desert,
Why can't we live like tribes?
We're born into silence, then let all be,
Lift your anchor then just float astray,
Born into silence, then let it all be
Fortune in silence
We're born into silence then let it all be
A fortune in silence then just float astray
Born into silence then let it all be
There's a fortune in silence, oh
Watch it explode while fragments of
Irony's examples fly and hit the shore
And tyranny's torn from the podiums
Where leaders stand but rule no more
Pleading with nothing
Why don't we lecture about something
Protest the way we're passive today
Watch it explode while it's not impossible
For flowers to bloom and grow next to graves
And babies are born in the same buildings
Where people go to pass away, pass away
Pleading with nothing
Why don't we lecture about something
Protest the way we're passive today
We live like penguins in the desert
Why can't we live like tribes?
We live like penguins in the desert
Why can't we live like tribes?
We live like penguins in the desert
Why can't we live like tribes?
We live like penguins in the desert
Why can't we live like tribes?
Born into silence then let it all be
A fortune in silence then just float astray
Born into silence then let it all be
Pessimistic, yes it may seem
But if you've been there, you know what I mean
A struggle and suffering that won't go away
It won't go away
It won't go away
I am not the one to blame
We are all a part of the problem
Damn for all your complaints
We are all..
Sitting in the sand watch the tide roll up
Take a deep breath in as your past fades out
Let everything else just fade into the horizon
When the planets stop spinning and the music stops
Take a deep breath in let your life fade out
With everything else youll fade into the horizon
I'll never leave this place
The place where I was born
I need a little more information
To add to this confusion
These delusions
They aren't meant to justify the things you do
Thankfully, I haven't been taken very seriously
Keep moving onward, keep moving onward
I don't know if I've been reborn
Or lived a past life
Suffered in another time
I am gathering the pebbles I need
To drink from the well
We are all part of this problem
Here we go down that same ol' road again
Sympathy unfolds the shell that holds all the beauty within
Here we go down that same ol' road again
A memory, a regret, a hope
Here we go down that same ol' road again
Empathy controls the wind that blows and tickles our skin
A memory, a regret, a hope, a stimulant
Recent it seems
We must push on, we must push on
Though we bleed
We must push on, we must push on
All you need is a modest house in a modest neighborhood
In a modest town where honest people dwell
Making the cleanest energy for the greenest plants to grow
Richest soil that is drenched with the freshest rain
Then you should sit in your backyard
Watch clouds peak over the tallest mountain tops
'Cause they unveil honest opinions about the stars
We must push on, we must push on
Recent it seems
We must push on, we must push on
Though we bleed
We must push on, we must push on
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
All you need is a modest house
I was put in a round room
And told to sit in the corner
While they wash my brain with a dirty rag
I was given a hammer
And told to build a fortress
With walls impossible to penetrate
You're the only thing I need
And you've become the only thing
That keeps me breathing, without you I'd be
In a dark place, no lightswitch
An open wound without a stitch
Maybe now you will understand
No matter how stable
The foundation may seem
Everything is crashing down on me
With papercuts on fingertips
Blackened eyes, and broken lips
Forever wounded, it's hard to tell
You're the only thing I need
Whether I fail or succeed
Within my blindness, you are all I see
The morning fog sun burns away
A predator's eye without its prey
Maybe now you will understand
I won't quit on you
No, I won't quit on you
I won't run away,
Ever, ever, ever, ever...
Yes, take time to realize what you have
Yes, I did but suspended and now I hang
Beneath the ground that we have made
For all of us to walk on
See me now
Crawl away, crawl away
See me now
Crawl with me
See me now
Crawl away, crawl away
See me now
Crawl with me
Yes, take time to realize what you have
Content but descended and now I swim
Beneath currents of hope and faith
Now it is time to surface
Wake up brother
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
Where you go
See me now
Crawl away, crawl away
See me now
Crawl with me
Believe me now
Crawl away, crawl away
To sacrifice oneself never made sense to me
Cause life is really the only and last gift we've all received
Some will waste it in the name of something you can't see
Continually defeat the purpose of that something creating
Oh, delusions
Are meant to justify, justify the things you do
Oh, delusions
Never really qualified, qualified as an excuse
As he approached the city center with the skyline in view
There was nothing left to contemplate, he knew he must follow through
With the plan certified by faith and a plan written in death
At that moment, this was it, he took his last breath
Oh, delusions
Are meant to justify, justify the things you do
Oh, delusions
Never really qualified, qualified as an excuse
No more hiding, no more hiding, no more blame
No more fighting, no more fighting, no more pain
No more chaos, no more chaos, no more stress
And no addiction, no addiction, no more mess
No ?, ? swollen head
No more greed, no more feeding from the hand
No more writing, no more "blame it on the man"
Realize it's your own fault
You're suffering, feel your pain
Allow me to be your sponge
Cause I can absorb your sorrows, I'm the one
Fire may rain down on you, but I'll be your water
Waves may crash on you, but I'll be your land
Cause I want to give you, just a temporary bliss
Just a little bit, just a little bit, a little more information
To add to my confusion, to add to the frustration
I don't need it
So shed your pain, while I sit in silence
As you bleed your deepest feelings here
Quakes may rattle you, but I'll be your sky
Winds may twist around you, but I'll be your clouds
Just a little bit, just a little bit, a little more information
To add to my confusion, to add to the frustration
I don't need it, no I don’t need it
He woke up next to her, his head against her head
His hand upon her breast, he knew today meant death
He kissed her on the cheek, and then on her lips
Thought to himself "it's the last time I'll do this"
Put on a suit, pressed and clean
He brushed his hair, grabbed his keys
Then he headed out to the morning air
With an anticipation no man could bear
The air was heavy, he could feel it in his lungs
With every step he took, a prayer rolled off his tongue
They were prayers of forgiveness, and prayers of praise
And his actions a gift for a god without a name
Just a little bit, just a little bit, a little more information
To add to my confusion, to add to the frustration
Gonna miss your ways, your sin, your smell, your smile
An anxious attempt to let you know
Dancing on the roof of some cartoon showroom
But in an instant Id give it all right back
So keep moving onward
Run through that open door
Consuming knowledge
Wormhole through times before
Cant you hear their voices crying
Cant you hear their hearts breaking
There is only so much we can, only so much can be shown to you
The rest is your choice... its your choice?
When I close my eyes, I see two faces above me
One to my left, one to my right
I took you under, under my wing to shadow
It never did bother me to hide you from the light
So keep moving onward
Run through that open door
Consuming knowledge
Wormhole through times before
Cant you hear their voices crying
Cant you hear their hearts breaking
There is only so much we can, only so much can be shown to you
The rest is your choice?its your choice?its your choice
Wait for me
You're onto something
Maybe there's no need
To play catchup, to play catchup
Wait for me
You're onto something
Maybe there's no need
To play catchup, to play catchup
You're casually
Casually walking through life without a worry
I'm worried its effects will show
So now I'm gathering
Gathering the pebbles I need to drink from the well
So thirsty, so thirsty
Wait for me
Well, I am not very far behind
So wait for me
I'm still chasing you
Wait for me
Well, I am not very far behind
So wait for me
While I play catchup
But thankfully
Thankfully, I haven't been taken very seriously
Seriously anxious to run the course without stumbling
Stumbling over fences, now I'm falling
Falling down the hillside, it's way too steep
It's way too steep
Wait for me
Well, I am not very far behind
So wait for me
I'm still chasing you
Wait for me
Well, I am not very far behind
So wait for me
I'm still chasing you
I happened to take a chance
Now there's no turning back
Return to childhood dreams, there rested figurines
I've been through life fast
Riding over broken glass
There is no question now
The opera is over
The singers have all gone home
Seats are all empty
The kitchen is closed
The sidewalks are sprayed down
The blinds are pulled down
Foundations unstable
The wrecking ball is back
Requiring this band's vacancy
Requiring this band's vacancy
Rents are rising
Our lease is up
Culture is down
The symphony's concluded
The instruments are all cased up
Notes are silent
But music's still apparent
Rents are rising
Our lease is up
Culture is down
Spirits are jaded
Art is dying
Is art dead
Art is dying
Is it dead
Believing we need it to move on
A one track mind in a one way time
Let's go ahead and gentrify
Let art die with noble minds
Steal a brush and paint boundary lines
For the stale kind of people we'll find
Walking in single file line
I think it's time to finally rewind
Let's go ahead we might as well
Rents are rising
Our lease is up
Culture is down
Climbing, building me up, tearing me down
Lifted back up we are climbing
All of this time
Drifting right back to the ground
Building me up, tearing me down
Lifted back up we are climbing
All of this time
Drifting right back to the ground
Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly
Questioning and saying
Our opinions, they're failing
They're constantly changing
Our ignorance, remaining
We're hoping and waiting
We're living, but dying
While trying to find out
My meaning isn't planned out
Come to the conclusion
Might as well be an illusion
We're trying to find out
Here we go down that same ol' road again
Sympathy unfolds the shell that holds all the beauty within
Here we go down that same ol' road again
A memory, a regret, a hope
Here we go down that same ol' road again
Empathy controls the wind that blows and tickles our skin
A memory, a regret, a hope, a stimulant
Recent it seems
We must push on, we must push on
Though we bleed
We must push on, we must push on
All you need is a modest house in a modest neighborhood
In a modest town where honest people dwell
Making the cleanest energy for the greenest plants to grow
Richest soil that is drenched with the freshest rain
Then you should sit in your backyard
Watch clouds peak over the tallest mountain tops
'Cause they unveil honest opinions about the stars
We must push on, we must push on
Recent it seems
We must push on, we must push on
Though we bleed
We must push on, we must push on
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
All you need is a modest house
We’ll be mourning this morning
There is no need to complain
Cos we’ve been ignoring this warning
There is no pleasure without this pain
We’re drawn together by accident
We’ll be forever with these words and
Melodies they’ll guide us through this speck in time
We’re trying to get the missed attempts
We are forever with these words and
Memories they’ll guide us through this night
We’re getting older, older, older
Another day, another rut
Along the highways faults
We sat and watched him, the saddened watchmen
He’s all alone
We’re drawn together by accident
We’ll be forever with these words and
Melodies they’ll guide us through this speck in time
We’re trying to get the missed attempts
We are forever with these words and
Memories they’ll guide us through this night
We’re getting older, older, older
But it’s not over, over
Cos this all, all you’ll ever get
Don’t forget that, don’t forget that, don’t forget
Cos this all, all you’ll ever get
Don’t forget that, it’s your one and only chance
Go this far, on your own
We’ll be mourning this morning
We’ll be mourning this morning
Cos we’ve been ignoring this warning all along
Well, I've been absorbed in mediocrity
Been hollowed by uncertainty
I've taken all of my beliefs
And given 'em up
Cause there's no guarantee
Of a god or longevity
Admit you don't know anything
And give it up
Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know
Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know
Give it up, give it up, give it up
Well I don't know what to believe anymore
But every now and then I feel a moment of awakening
But then it's gone, then it's gone, then it's gone
I'm blanketed by the warmth of ignorance
Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know
Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know
If I'll go somewhere special when I die
If I'll go somewhere special when I die
So I'll just go on living my way
There's a strength in duality
Penetrate mentality
Give it up, give it up
Learn from casualty
Don't have faith in anything
Give it up, give it up
Singing, I don't know, no, I'll never know
I'm giving up
Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know
If I'll go somewhere special when I die
If I'll go somewhere special when I die
This lonely old man at heart, resting gray hairs
On wrinkled arms with nothing but
A stool to hold up his back
Skinny legs with Japanese mileage
Crossed at the ankles
He's unaware
Maybe you've never seen it
Maybe you've never been through it
It's the only way to understand it
Unaware of his surroundings, youth in packs
Swarming like wolves to a fresh kill
The scenic tracks, he's just scared about dying
Maybe you've never seen it
Maybe you've never been through it
It's the only way to understand it
Save your clever statements
Braid your severed view of it
It's the only way to understand it
Too bad, too bad, too bad, so sad
Days have come to an end, where all
Where all has been lost
Maybe you've never seen it
Maybe you've never been through it
It's the only way to understand it
Save your clever statements
Braid your severed view of it
Does anybody feel this way
Does anybody feel like I do
Does anybody feel this way
Does anybody feel like I do
I built a wall
It's stretched 1000 miles
Set it off
A massacre
It's holding up the roof
Breast feed your heart
Set it off, set it off
I saw a distant port
With no water to support
Burning
The bridge between
Does anybody feel this way
Does anybody feel like I do
Does anybody feel this way
Does anybody feel like I do
Never content nor satisfied
Intentions of self
Massacre, change and history
Borderline paranoia
Yelling out their own right
Does anybody feel this way
Does anybody feel like I do
The half of me is gone
The lonesome part is left
I cannot find the other half
I cannot find the other half
I cannot find the other half
(We know you really wanna join us
We know you really wanna party)
Every little thing
Every little thing around us
Every single moment
Chips away at our past
Everywhere we look
Everywhere is a notch
And everybody needs
Some sense of release
The way you look at me
It's hiding in the breeze
You can disagree
But it's all that you wanted
We feel more alive when the sun goes down
There's no time to dream, oh no
We feel more alive when the sun goes down
We're taking it gradually, oh no
Every contradiction
Every lasting remark
Every agreement
Every little spark
Every single action
Every taste of suspense
Everybody climbs over
When you put up your fence
The way you look at me
It's hiding in the breeze
You can disagree
But it's all that you wanted
We feel more alive when the sun goes down
There's no time to dream, oh no
We feel more alive when the sun goes down
We're taking it gradually, oh no
Every little thing
Every little thing around us
Every single moment
Fading into the past
Everywhere we run
Everywhere a distraction
And everybody needs
Some sense of release
The way you look at me
It's hiding in the breeze
You can disagree
But it's all that you wanted
We feel more alive when the sun goes down
There's no time to dream, oh no
We feel more alive when the sun goes down
They lay down and watched it all crumble around them
They lay down and watched their city burn
They decided to give in today
Succumb to their ways
They truly believed they couldn't get away
They couldn't get away
Regardless if it was wrong
Even if it was right
They went down without a fight
Down without a fight
Believing positivity, breeds positive happenings
Now it's known
Everyone should have been brave
Now it's known
If they had stuck around, their lives would have been saved
They just turned and walked away
No one ever thought they would
Now there's only soot and decay
Where their city once laid
Regardless if it was wrong
Even if it was right
They went down without a fight
Down without a fight
Believing positivity, breeds positive happenings
They just turned and walked away
They're never coming back
Never coming back
Regardless if it was wrong
Even if it was right (Never coming back)
They went down without a fight
Down without a fight (Never coming back)
I've forgotten how to smile
A common relapse, an ocean of change within
I didn't know I was going to be the prey
Until it was already much too late
They always say they're against the grain
Come on, they all look the same
They just joined another tribe
To help them build up some old fight
Nothing new to see here, oh, oh, oh
Here we go, go again
Following all the trends
It's become an obsession
Yet it's time to accept it, yeah
Here we go, go again
Following all the trends
It's become an obsession
Yet it's time to accept it, yeah
It's raining again
Creating puddles of eternity
It's where my passion ends
And the insecurity begins
All of this combined
Contaminating me
Maybe someday we will see
Maybe someday we will see
They only say they're against the grain
Come on, they all look the same
They just joined another tribe
To help them build up some old fight
Nothing new to see here, oh, oh, oh
Here we go, go again
Following all the trends
It's become an obsession
Yet it's time to accept it, yeah
Here we go, go again
Following all the trends
It's become an obsession
Yet it's time to accept it, yeah
Where is, where is your deceit?
Give us something real
Wipe up your smile
No more deception, is this real?
Here we go, go again
Following all the trends
It's become an obsession
Yet it's time to accept it, yeah
Here we go, go again
Following all the trends
It's become an obsession
Some are skeptics and some believe
Some refuse to say
Well, if they've seen it they'll believe it
They have nothing to fear, to fear
Searching for a meaning greater than us
Something shiny and grand
While there's plenty right here in front of us
Right here
Somebody somewhere is laughing
Somebody somewhere knows
Somebody somewhere is laughing
Laughing 'cause they know
So many people looking for answers
So many people blindly convinced
So many people looking for answers
So many people forget to exist
We're on our own
We're on our own
Call it heaven or the afterlife
Or a fire-filled hell
It's just this, just here, just now
That's all, that's all, that's all
Somebody somewhere is laughing
Somebody somewhere knows
Somebody somewhere is laughing
Laughing 'cause they know
So many people looking for answers
So many people blindly convinced
So many people looking for answers
So many people forget to exist
We're on our own
We're on our own
We're on our own
So many people looking for answers
So many people blindly convinced
He lived the life, never offended, he played by the rules
Struck the right chords, he never was out of tune
Sacrificed every second for his kids and wife
Thought to himself, "If I only had more time"
He said, "It's a problem that I'll solve
Well, it's a problem to resolve someday"
Commuted daily to his high-tech job
Waited in line patiently with the rest of the mob
Now a taste of success can forever jade
When the pink slip arrived he'd finally lost his way
He said, "It's a problem that I'll solve
Well, it's a problem to resolve someday"
He abandoned his family, he's by himself
There's nothing left now, no substance, no wealth
His whole life was work and business
He could hardly see
The story of a jaded man
Who'll never know what could have been
It's all too common these days
It's all too common these days
It's all too common these days
Well, it's a problem that he'll solve
White cloth, black napkins
Wood chairs surround me
Wood tables, foggy sight
In front, with no light
Night falls beneath candle light
Cast shadows
Incense fragrance
From the corner of the room
Cloudy senses
Stale light
Below, beneath
Night falls beneath candle light
White squalls beneath winter sky
Night falls beneath winter sky
White squalls beneath winter skies
Faceless crowd
Of elderly beings
Roses sprouting
Yellow glow
The sub-conscience
Into the night
Beneath
Night falls beneath candle light
I can understand to a certain extent
The camaraderie and mass appeal
But the feelings you hold
You got 'em under control
Make me realize how much you have grown
I can understand what you meant
That very few could even deal
With the possible delivery of stone
Make me realize you're on your own
You're on your own
I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better
I can lie, I can lie if it gives you pleasure
You'll be fine, you'll be fine if we do it together
But, I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better
Please know I'll be here when you return
I can understand to a certain extent
What you're going through and how you feel
But the stories you've told and the pictures you've shown
Make me realize you're on your own
You're on your own
I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better
I can lie, I can lie if it gives you pleasure
You'll be fine, you'll be fine if we do it together
But I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better
Please know I'll be here when you return
Please know I'll be here when you return
But upon returning
Nothing makes sense
It's more affirming than the place you just left
Everyone's living
Everyone's working
Everything's so deceiving
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better
I can lie, I can lie if it gives you pleasure
You'll be fine, you'll be fine if we do it together
But I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better
Please know I'll be here when you return
Please know I'll be here when you return
Please know I'll be here when you return
He traveled up and down these roads
To venture out and become a man
He started in a familiar place
But ended up in a foreign land
But as the story usually goes
Nothing quite went as planned
He was on an endless road
Feeling like a king
Even after the initial bite
The wound still did sting
It's not an easy thing to do
Even for the toughest man
It was already over before it began
(It was already over before it began)
The same strut was in his walk
The same fire was in his eyes
Before his child was even born
He'd already said his goodbye
He was on an endless road
Feeling like a king
Even after the initial bite
The wound still did sting
It's not an easy thing to do
Even for the toughest man
It was already over before it began
Today
Today is a new day
Put the pain away today
Tomorrow
Tomorrow's a new way
Your scars will fade someday, someday
The thought of losing you is not an option
The thought of losing you never was
The thought of losing you is not an option
It's not an option
After all this pain
The pain's no more
After all this pain
The pain endured
After all this pain
I'll be sure that the future is bright, you can follow me
Listen up, listen up
You've come a long way
Listen up to the sound
But now there's a new way
For you to forget and rebound
It's now, now, now
Get up, get on your feet
It's now, now, now
You know it worries me when you go
The thought of losing you is not an option
The thought of losing you never was
The thought of losing you is not an option
It's not an option
After all this pain
The pain's no more
After all this pain
The pain endured
After all this pain
I'll be sure that the future is bright, you can follow me
Like a moth within a windstorm
A drowning bee in a pool
Like a fly beneath the swatter
A spider crushed with a shoe
The thought of losing you is not an option
The thought of losing you never was
The thought of losing you is not an option
It's not an option
After all this pain
The pain's no more
After all this pain
The pain endured
After all this pain
We need some light, find the lantern
Unzip the tent, we can use the moon
I'm going out into the weeds
To gather everything we need
So stay, stay until I'm done
Until I'm done searching for a clue
Even the faintest glint of light
Can guide me right back to you
You had no choice but to run and to go
(I'll get you)
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Through the dark, through the dark
I've gotta get back to you
You're the lighthouse on the shore
The beacon is my guide
The trail of crumbs, I'm fueled by your light
By your light
You had no choice but to run and to go
(I'll get you)
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Through the dark, through the dark
I've gotta get back to you
The distance we maintain is a stable foundation
The trail of crumbs is my motivation, motivation
We have no choice but to run and to go
(I'll get you)
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
