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

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

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

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?

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 04:17
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

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
