Thread The Needle
02:53
|
|||
|
saying what you wanna hear
i can't do it
but i'm stuck inside the fear
and influence
i'm running through the motions
until I break through or break down
thread the needle
to keep the peace
to please everyone
but you.
saying what you wanna hear
so complacent
but you all know what they say
about those who do nothing
i'm swept out in the ocean
until I wash in or sink down
thread the needle
to keep the peace
to please everyone
but you.

To Not Be Seen
03:51
|
|||
|
you are found when you separate
the illusions and delusions from what they create
in places where you cannot feel
you'll never know just what is real
i've seen the sky turn green and red
of course it all made sense in my head
of course it all made sense in my head
the smallest things swallow the sky
and then fade away in the blink of an eye
in places where you cannot feel
you'll never know just what is real
i've seen the sea turn pink and black
never thought twice, never looked back
i've seen the sea turn pink and black
never thought twice, never looked back
would you push away your dreams to not be seen?
would you push away your dreams to not be seen?
to not be seen
to not be seen
to not be seen
to not be seen.

Hall Of Mirrors
02:52
|
|||
|
drifting
grown apart
wider
colder heart
you just wanna hear
no filter and no fear
hall of mirrors
glass walls
cut on broken promises
my god
we're on the way down
hall of mirrors
i see us
pulled to pieces
pushed to blows
hall of mirrors
the middle bottoms out
unmasked or locked away
tied to the screens
ignored the warnings
should we say goodbye?
see you next spring?
warnings ignored
warnings ignored
we are future dinosaurs
we are future dinosaurs
warnings ignored
warnings ignored
we are future dinosaurs
we are future dinosaurs

Circle
03:25
|
|||
|
have we been here before
i feel like i walked through this same door
are we meant to be
doing it over and over and over and over
round and round
everyday
in my head
can't get away
are we crazy waiting
isn't that how good things come
stuck inside this circle
will you be the disruption
we've been spinning
through the same inning
and then back to the start
we need to change the station
a new recreation
i'll start small
and stand up tall
i'm stuck here
can't see straight
round and round
same mistakes
are we crazy waiting
isn't that how good things come
stuck inside this circle
will you be the disruption

The Bluest Room
04:04
|
|||
|
i can't move
when you walk in the room
like a child in the dark
are you real or just a shadow on the wall
and i've heard
you find the greatest light
in the darkest tomb
you find the reddest love
in the bluest room
and i'm tired of being closed
while you wait in the unknown
i can't breathe
when you eyes find me
i see blood
i see sparks
i see you all you learn from giving
and from loss
and i've heard
you find the greatest light
in the darkest tomb
you find the reddest love
in the bluest room
and i'm tired of being closed
while you wait in the unknown
and i'm tired of being closed (i can't move)
while you wait in the unknown (when you walk in the room)

Halfway To Go
04:26
|
|||
|
i can't help but
feeling fake sometimes
a survival skill
a bitter pill
i'm halfway dead
but halfway to go
coming back
to the real world
no pleasantries
for pleasance sake
an ugly truth until it's not
and true beauty until it's gone
what if i cannot run the gauntlet
what if the rat race runs me down
what if i cannot run the gauntlet
what if the rat race runs me down
on the edge
of the unknown
or is the best
yet to come
we're halfway dead
but halfway to go
what if i cannot run the gauntlet
what if the rat race runs me down
what if i cannot run the gauntlet
what if the rat race runs me down
is there no love for the lost?
is there no love for the lost?
is there no love for the lost?

Bend Or Break
03:45
|
|||
|
i spend more than i make
i bend more than i break
i don't wanna fight
and waste away the night
i'm not gonna wait
for everything to fall in line
there's never gonna be a better time
i'm not gonna wait
for the door to open wide
there's never gonna be a better time
you give more than you take
you're real more than you're fake
i don't wanna fight
and waste away the light
i'm not gonna wait
for everything to fall in line
there's never gonna be a better time
i'm not gonna wait
for the door to open wide
there's never gonna be a better time

Firewall
04:40
|
|||
|
hell, flames, and smoke on the other side
a firewall to keep us alive
times move on, cracks in the wall
safe but we know nothing's resolved
why can't i hear you?
maybe i don't want to
scattered thoughts, blocking the light
like bad memories come to life
head in the clouds, pushed out of sight
but years of sun are melting the ice
here comes the flood, can we survive?
which was is up? reach for the light
why can't i hear you?
why can't i break through?
maybe i don't want to
shattered thoughts, rip it apart
let it all die
why can't i hear you?
maybe i don't want to
why can't i break through?
maybe i don't want to
