The Front Line
04:01
|
|||
You, you are the element that gives the impression of privilege surrounding all we do
Cannibalistic instincts and animalistic witnesses - all our arrows find their mark
You were taken alive, good news like death comes from above
We're on the front line, we struggle but feel no pain
It's this that forces us to make the same mistakes
Battles are won far and wide, but in our certain pride
We allow ourselves to hide the truth from view
You, you are the element that convinces us we're accountable
There's more to this than you could know
You were taken alive, good news like death comes from above

Caught in Time
03:11

I'm digging a hole, the deeper I go - premeditate all deep down
I'm telling it how I wanted it told - you bought what I sold deep down
I found a reason to beat down the door 'cause look how we came out
We're upset but not that well thought out
My time and your time is all out
I'm digging a hole, the deeper I go - premeditate all deep down
I'm telling it how I wanted it told - you bought what I sold and how
You set sail before we were really sure, practised and assured
I know that it was stormy water, so you oughta wait for summer
I'm digging a hole, the deeper I go - premeditate all deep down
I'm telling it how I wanted it told - you bought what I sold deep down
We've all been caught in time
I'm digging a hole, the deeper I go - premeditate all deep down
I'm telling it how I wanted it told - you bought what I sold and how
I found a reason to beat down the door 'cause look how we came out
We're ahead but not that well thought out
Well my time and your time is all out

Heart Attack
04:04
|
|||
I don't mean to make you fold or run away, but I need to know
Do you ever think up spaces just to fill the void we know?
'Cause you'd let this whole world win if you refuse to know
Your cause is pure in the end
You're out there on your own
I'd take you back if you would just suspend your disbelief
It's not a case for a heart attack - I just fail to see
'Cause you'd let the whole world win if you refuse to know
Your cause is pure in the end
You're out there on your own
You take, you own this heart of porcelain

The Rule Of Hurts
03:08
|
|||
I know it's not about the things you know
it's how you stay and when you go
We're all afraid of ordinary
It's too late
I stuck around until you weren't as pretty as the sound of space
Imagining answers to fantastic questions you'll never ask me
Someday your wishes will evaporate
You eat from that forbidden plate
You're not supposed to understand
Equal, the sum result of all our fears
Multiplied by lies and years
Divided by the rule of hurts
It's too late
I stuck around until you weren't as pretty as the sound of space
Imagining answers to fantastic questions you'll never ask me

Home At Last But...
05:39
|
|||
I avoided collision - you put up your walls
The price of suspicion - a perfect judge of all
I thought I could save you from high on your shelf
The mirror you notice, reflects your perfect self
I'll return by letter or by air
The force is strong
It's good to know the where and when but...
At first there was calm and then they were gone
Vanished in seconds, proving me wrong
Do you believe in small men that glow?
Maybe they'll visit, above or below
I thought I believed in whatever you are
You chill like a sunburn to hide your empty scars
If you ever wondered what would have been said
If you ever made a difference, how would it have read?

Cold Faithful
04:26
|
|||
These are the ghosts of conversations that we heard the other day
And we've written all the endings you could say
Well these ghosts of conversations, they don't leave a lot to say
And I'm driven by a darkness in my own way
I just can't wait for it, I hope it's all you wanted
Hide your mouth for fear of ridicule, we all listen for the
Ghosts of conversations that we heard the other day
And we've written all the endings you could say
Well these ghosts of conversations, they don't leave a lot to say
And I'm driven by a darkness in my own way
No matter where you go, there you will find yourself
Heaven's precious sermons protect the cold and faithful
They listen to the
Ghosts of conversations that we heard the other day
And we've written all the endings you could say
Well these ghosts of conversations, they don't leave a lot to say
And I'm driven by a darkness in my own way
They are all just ghosts you see
That have no more hold on me
I climbed out and fell you see
Choking on dead pride and greed
Heaven's precious sermons protect the cold and faithful
We all listen for the
Ghosts of conversations that we heard the other day
And we've written all the endings you could say
Well these ghosts of conversations, they don't leave a lot to say
And I'm driven by a darkness in my own way
They're all ghosts of conversations that we heard yesterday

Medicine

Medicine, for the beautiful mess I’m in
You’re the one who’s been keeping me up
Been writing it all night long
Medicine, for the beautiful mess I’m in
You’re the one who’s been keeping me up
And I’m tired of the all night long
Melody ain’t got that far to go / I heard you were a one man show / You do it by yourself, you do
Circus sermon
Without warning
Gone too soon
Where were you?
I need that
Medicine, for the beautiful mess we’re in
You’re the one who’s been keeping us up
Been writing it all night long
Medicine, for the beautiful mess we’re in
You’re the one who’s been keeping us up
And we’re tired of the all night long
Maybe we ain’t got that far to go
We always were a one man show
With something else to prove
Promises and profits don’t you know
We ruled it all, we made it go
You do it to yourself, you do
Early forecast
Without warning
Gone too soon
I’d rather you than
Medicine, for the beautiful mess I’m in
You’re the one who’s been keeping me up
Been writing it all night long
Medicine, when we’re tired and shufflin’
Are we all just walking it off
Or ready to begin?
We ain’t got all that far to go
Medicine, for the beautiful mess we’re i
You’re the one who’s been keeping us up
We’re tired of the all night long
Medicine, when we’re tired and shufflin’
Was it wrong to be living it up / Been riding it all night long.
Medicine ain’t got that far to go / Medicine ain’t got that far to go / Maybe we ain’t got that far to go

Rubber Man
03:03
|

Cut your hair close to your thoughts 'cause I am on a roll
Metaphor - well I cannot applaud a single word
You're adored - I never thought that I would see the day
When I would have to explain everything away
As you know, as you figured out
I'm just a man but I'm thinking, making, moving better ways
Part of a plan that we're closer to completing every day
This rubber man he cannot feel, he only knows the words to say
She's not a man but can't you see she's rubber all the way
All the way
Can't you see she's rubber all the way?
So you say, as you know
Can't you see she's rubber all the way?
All the way

Hail Spraytan
03:04

I bet you planned this all along, I bet you had it all thought out
It's been a long time coming, you will be quick or be without
What if we put a werewolf on the moon?
What if a spoon was just a bowl on a stick?
We are keeping up with yesterday
It's black and white, no shades of grey
I laugh out loud, that's not to say I'm not real smart
But can no one else hear that phone?
I bet you planned this all along, I bet you had it all thought out
It's been a long time coming, you will be quick or be without
You see the only thing that works is when you're silent, overpowered
And none of us are really masters
We're just slaves in ivory towers
What is there to be scared of when we're running over ninjas?
It's like hiring two PIs to spy on each other
Bad decisions make good stories
Drive your bone engine into the sun
With nothing left to say I hear you laugh out loud
Now cut it out
Cut it out

Beacons
05:00
|
|||
Like a burn you cannot see
Like a coldness out of reach
Like the emptiness of choice
Your head is drowning in the noise
Like a planet's orbit only moving sideways
Finding beacons to stay on a course
Like a certain memory
Voices you were sure were real
Like three wishes incomplete
A purpose you can never teach
Like a planet's orbit only moving sideways
Finding beacons to stay on a course
High above our heads and out of reach in some ways
Earthbound interplanetary wars
Like a weight only you bear
This is no ordinary cure
Like a beacon out at sea
Just a curiosity
Like a planet's orbit only moving sideways
Finding beacons to stay on a course
High above our heads and out of reach in some ways
Earthbound interplanetary wars
Like a life you do not lead these are not moments yours to give
