Cut Your Ribbon
Wake up,
Can you hear me?
Your so clever, did you find me?
In the back room?
In your closet?
In your suitcase?
There's no running,
I will find you.
Like a glacier cuts the seabed,
Leaving canyons,
In your cheekbones.
Passing through you.
In the shadows,
Scenes undo you.
Cut your ribbon.
As it follows you.
Everything, everything,
How can you sleep at night?
As it falls apart.
Anything, anything
How can you sleep at night?
Face it, can you hear it?
Violation, you'll remember,
It's all harmless,
Incidental, disengaging,
These thoughts break you.
Conscious, vicious,
It has found you,
Monovision, synapse fails you,
Frequent syndrome,
Stings and burns through,
Monovision, then dilutes you.
Can you escape these motives?(3x)
Refrain
Air
Apathy falls in the ocean
At least we went down fighting
At the bottom of the ocean
The scenery can fail calm
Up till now been riding fine, Yeah
but the curving walls leave me behind, Yeah
Do you remember the days?
Did you forget those days?
What would the oddsmaker say?
Would the oddsmaker say?
We're drinking on jet streams
Through to
Ideas won't happen
Laid out on benches
Through to
Sink for this reason
If you see through, these motives
You'll please report your progress
To the captain, our captain
So he can mark the atlas
Never considered this a prize , yeah
But the curving walls leave me behind, yeah
We're drinking on jet streams
Through to
Ideas won't happen
Laid out on benches
Through to
Sink for this reason
Mye
I'll qualify this circumstance
broadcast, renew this chance
pin hope on this promise
graduate to a settled score
projects through mansion doors
stand up, dust yourself off
it's troubled now by swelling tide
beached hope and sandstone lies
you're dazed in the moment
This time I'll get it right
you can't defend it, it's predetermined
You know I'll sit at the bottom space
trace lines in the vacant face
it's all about these changes
small flat in a smaller town
steal hope to pass around
you're caught in the memory
These shores aren't out of reach.
Collapse
The host of the show comes down
to collapse on the ground
and the crime scene revisits me
this body shut down in Bordeaux
and the shores of gold coast
on the balcony I search for sleep
the future has fallen short
when the sun sets north
and the clouds fall from the mirrored walls
Words speak and choose
make sense and lose
capsize the tallest tale, but always fail
words speak and choose, make sense and lose
forfeit the tallest tale, I always will
The host had his mouth sewn shut
all in the name of trust
when the blood goes thin, he's given in
you can spare us the formal toast
the drunken anecdotes
from this day on... goes on and on...
You know when he falls apart
he listens in the dark to the records turn
I'll never learn
To set it down
you'll set it down
you'll set it down
Sans Cosm
Arms open but I've just broken in
through a crack in a long division
can I make a decision without confusion?
seemed something but became nothing at all
what happened to the old and stable?
when the powers that be fail
and heads will roll
someday low notes fade away and go true and stale
Somewhere words don't crater in at all
Currents turn and green lights on my right
These miles hold an infinite time
Long enough to remember and regret precursors
Tide turning foundations shaking away
It's a matter of time and distance
And tested opinions that force a change
do you owe this? I am what you thought you were
can you pay it? what you've indebted
you're back and forth, you're the lottery.
Light Burns Clear
Looking back with perfect symmetry
mistakes were you, mistakes were me
photos fall through the glass
paint it black to hide your name
static screams deaf the masses
but what do you got to say?
Fan the flames to the landslide
Gotta show me the Stars
we play this disaster
fanfare, fanfare, liar
Concrete eyes and flash bang imagery
you're bored with home, you're bored with me
rings were thrown out the window
rolled down empty streets
walls will talk for the widow
but what does she have to say?
Edges dulled at the end of the day.
Cataract
Locked up in the distance
in the falter above us
as the contrails pass you spoke your mind
old photos distort you
and you're frowning a smile
as the misery makes you act blind
stand down, fall apart and the trouble starts
yeah the trouble starts over again
in the scenes of this casting
where a tragedy follows
as the contrails pass this vacant sky
chorus:
Disappear, Orlean
away from tarnished golden arsenals
you're laying down again
disappear, Orlean
because your swansong fell on fallen heads
you're laying down again
time goes nowhere.
Red Alibi
In the back of my mind a voice speaks,
spells out the master plan,
now I know.
She swings with the ease of a hammer,
from the truth down through the past,
and I know
What's right, went wrong
from when it started,
to this the finish.
I'll try to find,
a place in your new life...
To set the fire,
and cover your tracks.
Time will tell, the past laughs last.
Syllables will try and judge you, will pierce the anecdote
now I know.
your plea is a case of reason
this deletes your alibi
and I know.
once tried, left wrong.
from where it started, to here the finish
I'll try to find,
a place in your new life
The traps have been set, and this will change everything
To set the fire,
and cover your tracks.
Time will tell, the past laughs last.
RX Coup
At the bottom you set it down
from the top I counted you out
cascading, the end draws near
these rail lines, drown in fear
in the dark days, hunger's free
illumination, end with greed
darg your feet, and strung along
fight back, until you're gone
chorus:
This tunnel vision breaks my mind
dark days leave this world behind
humiliation takes its toll
proud hope stands tall
Glasshouse Tarot
I don't snap on like you want me to
because it still hurts my eyes when they turn red
I sit down, rode all the way next to my heart
it beats to the time too close to your truth
chorus:
Yeah the tarot broke, open the glasshouse
so this might just be the saddest day I've ever known
My arms are tied behind disease
I'll probably be gone the next time too
in a corner in a shadow I sit self-obsessed
too busy, too important to say goodbye
chorus x 2
This regret, it kills you'll never forget
take the time this time to say your goodbyes.
Echodyne Harmonic
They say it takes a ring of gold
to fix the outer shell
so hold on until they return
enslave the native tongue
to mine their freedom out
so hold on and don't give in
chorus:
Our world is only what we're told
how do we know?
Life spans 1000 years have gone
but just a minute above
so hold on until they return
sheltered thoughts and fears
if they claim what's theirs
so hold on and don't give in
Fading out, now we're fading out.
Assemble The Empire
Don't make this fake
last second of life
faux obsolete
assemble the empire
Following fell on hard times
this one won't count
we won't count it all
slow down
these factions cast a failure of crowns
benevolence forces itself
fallen from state
into the hands of the law
slow down
these factions cast a failure on crowns
Slow down.
