Living Together

It starts out like a season in reverse
A way to set your mind above and over words
attached means identity
Erases things so how can we record?

Distress call code-word is I wanna live
He makes it up as it goes, it goes away
To places he can only hide in other peoples minds
Oh he makes it up as it goes
It goes away

Your rational mind’s insane
Taste the sound you make
The light from the sun it's a story never gets sold
The light from the sun it is your mother
Attached means identity
Erases things so why should we?

Distress call code-word is I wanna live
He makes it up as it goes, it goes away
To places he can only hide in other peoples minds
Oh he makes it up as it goes

With an effortless smile you pervade to be
And in-between aisles (they would say you must stare to see)

With an effortless smile you pervade to be
Always in-between aisles
An optimistic Daring me
would you trade your soul for gold?
would you trade your soul?
would you trade?

In The Morning And Amazing

Infinite silence
Rolling, riding with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio on

And how could anyone
You are in my dreams
Half human, half machine
You are someone else that I have felt and seen
I cannot rest on my consciousness contest
Looking right through the lens
From winter brings the spring again

Infinite silence
Rolling, riding with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio on

And we fall asleep again with testament
So please let the cleaning begin
Evolution

Hold my breath 'til communication leaves
Only just a test
Hold my breath 'til communication leaves
Only just a test
Hold my breath 'til communication leaves
Only just a test

You are in my dreams
Half human, half machine
Looking right through the lens
From winter brings the spring again

Infinite silence
Rolling, riding with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio on

Infinite silence
Rolling, riding with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio

The Greatest Lie

This building smelled so familiar
And I had thought the sense was lost
And in a day dream I imagined my house
where all my father’s sense of strength was lost
And it’s all we have
It's all we have so find me a place to begin.

If I could get this feeling to end
Trembling idle hands, holding me there.
We laugh in the face of love
because nobody’s really there.
Nobody’s real.

Desire I would try it either way,
and we believe in something invisible,
the sense of smell that you use all your life
(well now you know your father lied)
It's all we have so find me a place to begin.

If I could get this feeling to end
Trembling idle hands, holding me there.
We laugh in the face of love
because nobody’s really there.
Nobody’s real.

And I could never find my way without you,
but you’re already there.
And we’ve, we've come a long long way without,
without maps in our hands.
It’s all we have so find me a place to begin.

If I could get this feeling to end
Trembling idle hands, holding me there.
We laugh in the face of love
because nobody’s really there.
Nobody’s real.

The Difference Between Medicine And Poison Is In The Dose

Move one inch at a time
And don't make shit rhyme.
Would it be too easy to repeat the first line?
My minds not a well, it wont run dry
Just keep drinking water and you'll be alright
This is paralysis
With no time at all to let go

Well don't call me by my full name
All this is temporary
It feels much better to know that you wont feel a thing
Well don't talk about it
Write it down but don't ask for help
Well I can't be honest with even myself
Did you ever wish you were somebody else

accomplishments are transient
They pulled me in unremittingly
Just lasting this long I feel relived to let repetition save me

Move one inch at a time
And you'll be just fine
Move one inch at a time
And you'll find
They pulled me in but accomplishments are transient
They pulled me in but accomplishments are transient

Mandala

Dance with me
For I’ll be leaving soon
The afterbirth on the keypads overwhelm
“Did he who make the lamb make thee”?
Help me find its origin

In a cartoon house
With a cartoon car
There are cities buried underneath our cities
“Let the people be free”, “Let the people be free”
it’s all around us

Dance with me
For I’ll be leaving soon
The afterbirth on the keypads overwhelm
“Did he who make the lamb make thee”?
Help me find its origin

In a cartoon house
In a cartoon car
There are cities buried underneath our cities
“Let the people be free”, “Let the people be free”
it’s all around us
it’s all around
Let the people see

we so obviously had another hand and so separate
How do I act like I’ve made this
When I
When I
When I
When I
so obviously had another hand.

Dance with me
For I’ll be leaving soon
The afterbirth on the keypad overwhelm
“Did he who make the lamb make thee”?
What happens when we reach for each other?

Travel Hymn

It came across like you were mad
Holding in your breath
with everything you had
Until you face began to turn red
This is why I turn and walk away from everything
I need to feel it closer now
This is why I turn and walk away from everything
and I never thought it would be like this

Between the seal a church is revealed
and I would rather be
lonely along the way
Something set us off into the wrong direction but within this particular space,
Time goes to waste.
Time goes to waste
Time goes to waste
Time goes

It came across like you were mad
Holding in your breath
with everything you had
Until you face began to turn red

Between the seal a church is revealed
and I would rather be
lonely along the way
Something set us off into the wrong direction but within this particular space,
And time starts to slow down and all of these patterns never change
So slow down, because nobody looks at life the same
And no one was like this ‘til you came along and reset our dials wrong.

lonely along the way
Something set us off into the wrong direction but within this particular space,
Time goes to waste (lonely)
along the way
Something set us off into the wrong direction but within this particular space,
Time goes to waste.

Semi Constructive Criticism

Leave out the meaning this time
Let tensions evolve
Intimate groove confused
In childish tantrums (we do a childish dance)
Your feelings were sacrificed For a greater cause,
and if you forget what you saw, you’ll be forgiven
But there isn’t a chance,
That I could do this on my own.
Now our perceptions have grown
branches and petals of paper and metal,
amber tinfoil forrest confines us
And we disconnect like this is the end
For everybody else’s sake
Set your mental alarm

Kicking Your Crosses Down

In case it gets away from us
Don’t pull it closer,
the damage revealed the cost
And it wasn’t worth it,
Oh but they’ll never know

To keep in mind the line
that separates idols
If the world is a dream
and nothing is worth it
Unless you have a god.

But we wont be saved we’ll live as slaves to love
What god takes away, let’s refill all your holes with mud
Purchase your tickets; I’m kicking your crosses down

In case it gets away from us
Don’t pull it close,
the damage revealed the cost
And it wasn’t worth it,
We’re all going to hell

But we wont be saved we’ll live as slaves to love
What god takes away, let’s refill all your holes with mud
Purchase your tickets; I’m kicking your crosses down

And all the voices sound just like you
I’ll be there,
I'll be there,
Breathe in,
Breathe in,
It’s been so long I’ve felt so wrong again
I fixed myself up nice but you never came
The words rolled off our backs and sound the same
I’ll be waiting,
I'll be waiting,
I'll be waiting,
I'll be waiting,
I hope that it’s worth it but I’ll never know.

On Letting Go

For your future's sake
I've got advice I'd advise you to take

Don't keep betting, well,
It's gotta light me up sometime
But you lost your turn
(But you lost your turn)
But you lost your turn
(But you lost your turn)

All I wanted to be was one of your children
All I wanted to be was one of yours

See how clean the water is where you are
Wash off your handcuffs
Know the hidden messages you hear
They are real, you tricked your mind to feel
(You tricked your mind to feel)
You tricked your mind to feel
(You tricked your mind to feel)
You tricked your mind

All I wanted to be was one of your children
And all I wanted to be was one of yours

Are we even now?
Are we even now?
We are unrelated
We are unrelated
Are we even now?
Are we even now?
We are unrelated
We are unrelated

If blood is thicker than water then
You'll drown quicker than we intended
If blood is thicker than water then
You'll know where you can find us in the end

So we can begin again
So we can begin
So we can begin again
So we can begin

All I wanted to be was one of your children
All I wanted to be was one of yours

Carry Us Away

This is not a riddle but it’s meant to entertain.
I’ll be your loyal Apostle,
Just send me in to take the blame.
Well what would you expect to say?
It never mattered anyway

There’ll be a site (sight)
And an invisible light shown down on them and took them in
There’ll be a time when, Maybe tonight temptations win And I give in.

This is not a puzzle or mainframe
But it’s meant to strengthen your faith
And each time the night falls upon us
We always end up the same,
Well what would you expect to say?
It never mattered anyway

There’ll be a site (sight)
and an invisible light shown down on them and took them in
There’ll be a time when, Maybe tonight temptations win And I give in.

Were we not born into original sin?
What you ask for is what you get
and what you were given
So fold your hands and get down on your knees

There’ll be a site (sight)
and an invisible light shown down on them and took them in
There’ll be a time when, Maybe tonight temptations win And I give in.

Close Your Eyes To See

If you pass away,
in the wing fortress there’s a time divider
And a technical team will be at your services
for what that matters.
When the mirror shatters it’s harder for me to see
If there are any answers here we haven’t searched for,
Just type in your code and say a prayer
How could it be, we were so secure?
cause nothing you’ve ever planned on
ever turned out the way you planned
I tried to say
This couldn’t feel more wrong
I can’t believe its happening
or lasting this long
If we know each other
then why should it be so hard to make it stop?
What I tried to say
(this isn’t real, and I feel ashamed that I don’t think that I can heal)
It’s a shame that I would pretend before making amends
But nothing you’ve ever planned on ever turned out the way you planned
You’re still disappointing them

Your Friends Are Gone

All your friends are gone x4

It climbs in slowly behind
If you trust your neighbors
they’d never suspect what you’re like
Welcome them into your life
No one has to know
Playback, delete and rewind
It’s getting closer than you thought
it’d get Just get inside
It’s moving faster than you’d ever planned
You’ll be relieved when

when you open up
and let yourself seem vulnerable
and the morning sun
will make our bodies comfortable
in taking off your clothes
everything hidden is suddenly exposed

Nobody wants to hear another
story about how you couldn’t write right
It climbs in slowly behind
No one has to know
Playback, delete and rewind
Each one is louder than the one before
And the people you care for
At ten times the expense
Of all that you spent
You’ll be relieved when

when you open up
you let yourself seem vulnerable
and the morning sun
will make our bodies comfortable
in taking off your clothes
everything hidden is suddenly exposed

you keep it on the inside
cause that's the safest place
cause that's the safest place to hide

All of your friends are gone
And you were barely holding on
we were wrong and
they fooled us once again
We are the loneliest of men
we're the loneliest
and all your friends are gone
nobody hears you
all your friends were wrong
nobody cares
and all your friends are gone
nobody's here with you
and all your friends were wrong
nobody cares
