Temporary Evil
05:12
|
|||
|
Despite best efforts to contain
The serious mix of anger and pain
I see you there with your bloodshot, watery eyes
This is no place for you to be
We've wasted days
Painting ourselves unrecognizably
In every single way, the real thing always shines through
There’s no use in trying to hide the beast inside
You need to keep alive
It was always there creeping in and out of my opened mind
That’s just temporary evil
I need to meet the angels and the demons
Then this will all be over
And then we'll figure it out
There's no need to doubt my resolve
And when the door closes
It’s all there in full force
And I can barely contain
My disappointment to hear some petty bullshit
There’s something else you’re not saying
Such a way to be unafraid
There’s no use in trying to hide the beast inside
You need to keep alive
It was always there creeping in and out of my opened mind
That’s just temporary evil
I need to meet the angels and the demons
Then this will all be over
Then this will all be over
Everything, everything
Everything, everything (will rise to the surface)
Everything, everything (will meet me halfway)
Everything, everything (that rises converges)
Everything! Everything!
Everything, everything (will rise to the surface)
Everything, everything (will meet me halfway)
Everything, everything (that rises converges)
Everything! Everything!

Promised Land
03:08

Well I’m done burning bridges
And I’m done making sense
And nothing’s automatic
And no one’s innocent
But I won’t die just to live
Yeah I won’t die just to live
We'll make it over easy
Can't let this go as planned
And nothing’s automatic
And no one’s innocent
But I won’t die just to live
No I won’t die just to live
You can break these walls down
And tear me to shreds
Your heart’s like a weapon
In the palm of your hand
But one day we'll work out
The problems at hand
Will lead you straight in through
The promised land
No more lies, no more plans
No more lines, in the sand
You and me
In command
Running wild, promised land
So pretty in the moment
But pretty in our heads
So lovely to let beauty
Replace our sense of dread
And I won’t die just to live
Yeah I won't die just to live
You can break these walls down
And tear me to shreds
Your heart’s like a weapon
In the palm of your hand
But one day we'll work out
The problems at hand
Will lead you straight in through
The promised land
No more lies, no more plans
No more lines, in the sand
You and me
In command
Running wild, promised land
Promised land

Drop dead for society
And spend your money on the bread and butter
Living the dream
Never worried about a goddamn thing
Every day just moves too fast to see
And I don't need to face you head on
I've been dreaming of a way to escape before dawn
Find a place we both belong
To pass the time, or throw it away
To take a ride on a different train
And end up another way
We could have it all
And it’s always in sight
Below heartache is the start of a roadmap
To another type of life
Drop dead for society
And all you wanted was decided whil you had your doubts
Never try to escape the fallout
Living to erase the past will grow old after awhile
After awhile
To pass the time, or throw it away
To take a ride on a different train
And end up another way
We could have it all
And it’s always in sight
Below heartbreak is the start of a roadmap
To another type of life
One day at a time

Discover
03:38

Sighing and reminiscing
Enjoying better times
I can’t just say that I moved on
As I stare blankly at the sun
To discover again
The morning has ended
There’s no use pretending
The insufferable shuffle again
Again, again, again
In front of me
The fantasy or memory
These battles that I choose
Sometimes it's good to lose
All this trouble takes a toll inside our heads
While the truth remains an unsolved mystery
But when I find it, honestly
I know that things will work out differently
And all these past misgivings will be dead
And We’ll discover again
The moment it ended
There’s no use pretending
And those words that you had always meant
Keep your eyes on the eyes don’t pretend
Trust in yourself and your friends
And stubborn lies, they’ll only eat you alive if you let them in
It’s all laid out right in front of me
The fantasy or memory?
The battle that I choose
Sometimes it’s good to lose

Quiet Future
02:49

I want a quiet future
I want to hear my feet move across the ground
And forget all the time I was sometime other than now
I want a quiet future
Rejecting the notion that I can’t be moving and stalling all at once
Sum total’s just enough
Reflecting the sunset, somewhere away from here
The water is warm, and I have no fear
Reflecting the sunset, somewhere away from here
The water is warm, and I have no fear
I want a quiet future
I want to stop and appreciate the fray
It's a brighter and brighter adventure each passing day
In this quite future
Rejecting the notion that I can’t be moving and stalling all at once
Sum total’s just enough
Reflecting the sunset, somewhere away from here
The water is warm, and I have no fear
Reflecting the sunset, somewhere away from here
The water is warm, and I have no fear

Everything Matters
04:26

Thoughts in my head
Never ever even dreamed they'd been said
Truer than we'll ever remember
And the end never ends
And the end never ends
We're looking in from the outside
Spending time
In a state of blissful lull and periodic mass confusion
And seeing things in a new light
Underlying, all-defying
Contemplation that everything means everything
Everything means everything
Everything I love
You know the end never ends
You know the end never ends
We're looking in from the outside
Spending time
In a state of blissful lull and periodic mass confusion
And seeing things in a new light
Underlying, all-defying
Contemplation that everything means everything
Everything means everything

Sunrise Set the Scene
04:12
|
|||
|
When something’s wrong
I gotta have it all
I need to know, by force of habit
This daisy chain of words
I stumble and I slur
Then unleash them like a cannonball
I need to know, it’s almost spiritual
The way I see, the thoughts surrounding me
Oh I’m dead then I’m alive
I open up my eyes
And I see a different version of me
Oh, do I want you to know what I know?
Please don’t take it personally
Oh do I want you to know that it’s better to not know
Never gonna let it go I should have known from the start
So tell me why
We're always falling in line
After we stray
And turns our minds away
Oh I’m dead then I’m alive
I open up my eyes
And I see a different version of you
Oh, do I want you to know what I know? (I hope we never ever let this go)
Please don’t take it personally
Oh do I want you to know that it’s better to not know
Never gonna let it go I should have known from the start
Oh it must have been a secret
No one had ever known
So long, sunrise
I am going home
I should have never stayed away so long
Twisting and turning and keeping on
The person that I always was
Was here the whole time
Away from here
Twisting and turning and keeping on
Something we had always known and loved
I’m here
I'm alive
Sunrise sets the scene of it all
Laughing forever while the night is aglow
It all makes sense to me now
Laughing forever while the night is aglow
It all makes sense to me now

The Knife
04:08
|

|
This knife cuts deep
In the morning light
You twist and you make your mark
Before you leave me behind
It hurts and it's true
And it's all you can do
It hurts and it's true
And it's all you can do
So you take what you get
This ship is to wreck
What did you expect from this?
Is self loathing enough to counter your bluff?
Are you in pain or bliss?
I see worlds in your eyes I don't recognize
And I can't understand
How we outran the future by playing right into its hands
Forget about it
It hurts and it's true
And it's all you can do
The knife
You can keep it inside
You can pass it on, bring it to life
The knife
So you take what you get
This ship is to wreck
What did you expect from this?
Is self loathing enough to counter your bluff?
Are you in pain or bliss?
I see worlds in your eyes I don't recognize
And I can't understand
How we outran the future by playing right into its hands
Forget about it
Forget about it
Forget about it
Forget about it
Forget about it

Nowhere Blind
04:02

I guess I’m not myself today
Now my perspective's turned
back and forward and then back again
I’ll give myself a chance
To rearrange mentally
Happiness and misery love company
Wandering aimlessly
Happiness and misery love company
Stab me in the front or stab me in the back
It'll makeno difference to me
If the daggers in your eyes will stab me in the back
It’ll make no difference to me
These days, so disparate
All I am feeling is
All my inhibitions abandoning me
Where will you go now that I'm free
I guess I'll always keep
My enemies' advantages close to me
Honestly, those thoughts led me nowhere
Blind except to threats only I could perceive
Take it from me, there’s no use in hiding
All in store, you're bound to adore
Just trust your sight
No wrong or right
Stab me in the front or stab me in the back
It makes no difference to me
All the deceit and all the attacks
I'm okay
But honestly, those thoughts led me nowhere
Blind except to threats only I could perceive
Take it from me, there’s no use in hiding
All in store, you're bound to adore
Just trust your sight
No wrong or right
Just trust your sight
No wrong or right

Python
02:33
|

|
If I could walk through walls
You wouldn't have to leave
When conversation stalled
I'd quietly recede
I'd be gone
So very absurd
Now I'll stay on this playground
While you're scorching the earth
I've been lying
I've been innocent
I've said things I knew were wrong
So maybe you were right
I'll finally concede
Python, python, python
And you're gone

Don’t talk about these things
Like you already know the outcome
Now that peace of mind's
Something real but undefined
Let it take over your world
Don’t blink twice maybe you’ll notice
A pleasant surprise
That comes so subtly yet surely
Leaving everything in its path
All bathed in white
Like angels from the gates of heaven
Sent by God to keep your hope alive
For better or worse, it keeps you in line
Don’t talk about these things
Like you already know the outcome
Now that peace of mind's
Something real but undefined
Let it take over your world
I fell asleep for too long
I must admit I was wrong
I just assumed it was gone
Don’t blink twice maybe you’ll notice
A pleasant surprise
That comes so subtly yet surely
Leaving everything in its path
All bathed in white
Like angels from the gates of heaven
Sent by God to keep your hope alive
For better or worse, it keeps you in line
I just assumed it was gone
I just assumed it was gone

Playground
03:13

The thought of it all
Comes crumbling down
I’m at a loss for words again
And I’ve got a long drive home
I’m in no state to be dissecting
Every mystery in front of me now
Well I change my moods like seasons
While the world remains the same
And it’s my understanding
That I should follow your light
But my vision’s obscured
As a million lives float past me in an endless sea
It’s always too much yet never quite enough
Enough for me, enough for me
My place in everything always in between
Another world, another life, another dream
Another world, another life, another dream
Another world, another life, another dream
And a million lives float past me in an endless sea
The thought of leaving the playground…
The thought of leaving the playground…
Finally leaving the playground
