1. THE SILVER STRING

Who holds a silver string
Lost in a staggered motion
When you run away
Whoever changes shape
Showing oscillation
I’ll see you there

Alternate the day (and let go)
Scream the last charade and let it be (and safeguard)
The fragment that anchors it all (it to the wall)
Separate the way (and let go)
Drown inside the shade and let it go (and safeguard)
The vision that anchors it all (it to the wall)

And I’ve forgotten everything you said

For you to bounce right back
Pick up right where you left off
When you run away
Whoever took my place
Showing oscillation
I’ll see you there

And how it seemed I should be reborn

Alternate the day (and let go)
Scream the last charade and let it be (and safeguard)
The fragment that anchors it all (it to the wall)
Separate the way (and let go)
Drown inside the shade and let it go (and safeguard)
The vision that anchors it all (it to the wall)

In the outline there’s a test
Where it all gets settled in
There’s no structure to my atrophy (Oh)
There’s a padlock on the chest
Where it all gets hidden in
There’s no pattern to my apathy (Oh)
There’s impulses in my atrophy (Oh)
There’s no structure to my apathy (Oh)

Alternate the day (and let go)
Scream the last charade and let it be (and safeguard)
The fragment that anchors it all (it to the wall)
Separate the way (and let go)
Drown inside the shade and let it go (and safeguard)
The vision that anchors it all (it to the wall)


2. IDEOLOGY IS THEFT

Impersonate yourself
It looks all wrong
The mannequin's ascending
To another realm
You dance around your worth
You count it out
The fabric tears completely
And disappears

Dry them up, tear them open
Peel the lids back on everyone

And once you're gone still echoing
Into the space we left between
And I remember when you couldn't stand
Holding onto me so long

You dry off all the ink
In the bright lights
The marking is defective
It never showed
Impersonate yourself
It looks all right
The mirror cracks completely
In another realm

From where I am there's a different view
You can't compare the reflection
It looks all wrong from a higher point
It never shines where you wanted it

Dry them up, tear them open
Peel the lids back on everyone

And once you're gone still echoing
Into the space we left between
And I remember when you couldn't stand
Holding onto me so long
And once you're gone still echoing
Into the space we left between
And I remember when you couldn't stand
Holding onto me so long

Impersonate yourself
It looks all wrong
The mannequin's ascending
To another realm


3. RACING TOWARD A RED LIGHT

I hear a signal of perjury
The odds are burning above

Begin, we've already been that far but it's not coming back
I trust the gates of the lions den I can say open up to us
Descend on us, we find a pathway to let it go

Our patience won't be unlearned
Our actions won't be undone
The answer will be unknown, be unknown

The beggar gives up eternity
Shining light through honour

Begin, we've already been that far but it's not coming back
Descend on us, we find a pathway to let it go

Our patience won't be unlearned
Our actions won't be undone
The answer will be unknown, be unknown
(And you can never go home again)
Our patience won't be unlearned
Our actions won't be undone
The answer will be unknown, be unknown
(And you'll decide how it's gonna be)

There's a tension in the way
And it won't be underlined
You can swim into the graves easily as I
There's emotion you could fake
And it won't be in the front line
You can swim into the graves easily as I

And you'll decide how you make it
And you'll decide how it's gonna be
And you'll decide how you make it
And you'll decide how it's gonna be


4. SECOND GUESSES

Keep it safe, stop watch
Is it cold? Have I been dishonest?
Or has, has the weather become
The excuse for what I did?
Evening eyes. Divisionless.
So much more than they hoped for

(There's a reason why nothing you can fall back)
Search along the dead river
Needle in the hay, found you out
Nothing you can fall back on

In the way it felt
I can see it was real
I won't be the only one
Carrying all the blame

Is it gone?
Is it cold to the touch?
Has it been forgotten?
Or has, has the autumn sun
And the ghost of what I want

(There's a reason why nothing you can fall back)
Search along the dead river
Needle in the hay, found you out
Nothing you can fall back on

In the way it felt
I can see it was real
I won't be the only one
Carrying all the blame
No one could have known
All of our pockets had holes
Sober up and you can see
More than what you wanted

Time won't lead you anywhere
Move forward into it
I can see the difference
What are you waiting for?
Time won't lead you anywhere
Move forward into it
I can see the difference
What are you waiting for?

In the way it felt
I can see it was real
I won't be the only one
Carrying all the blame
No one could have known
All of our pockets had holes
Sober up and you can see
More than what you wanted


5. COUNT BACK FROM TEN

If I see the gauge of alchemy
Uprooted by the wind
Could you save it all from the opposite until the end again?
When you crawl across the rooftop
Were you let in by the wind
Maybe we could fall from the living word that was never heard
And just end it

All at once
Never see your face again
As tender as your lover's skin
All at once
Remember where you started from
So sure the day would never come

Did you change the weight or symmetry?
It was never meant to be
Did you move it all from the opposite when you went away?
And I wanted more than anything
To be there until the end
Maybe we could last from the second chance to the end again
And just end it

All at once
Never see your face again
As tender as your lover's skin
All at once
Remember where you started from
So sure the day would never come

And you'll never find an answer
When you're waiting there alone
And you'll never find a reason
Just end it

All at once
Never see your face again
As tender as your lover's skin
All at once
Remember where you started from
So sure the day would never come


6. THE STUTTER SAYS A LOT

Not betraying your angle
Too afar to break a window
(Fly up)
Concentrating forever
(Fly up)
To pretend that you're a victim

The stutter says a lot
When I'm reaching out for anything
'Till I can find a way out

If this is true, I'll do it all again
(The stutter says a lot)
Put it all in the refrain
The action is fake, I'll believe anyway
(What takes now)
That's the part you chose to play

You untangle the wavelength
Just to pacify the impulse
(Fly up)
Concentrating forever
(Fly up)
To pretend that you're an expert

The stutter says a lot
When I'm reaching out for anything
'Till I can find a way out

If this is true, I'll do it all again
(The stutter says a lot)
Put it all in the refrain
The action is fake, I'll believe anyway
(What takes now)
That's the part you chose to play

Fly up, fly, we fly up now
To pretend that you're a victim
(Fly, we fly)
Just to pacify the impulse
(Just to pacify the impulse)

(The stutter says a lot)
And if I stay I won't hold you (whoa)
(Wake up to see it)
And if I stay (I won't hold you)


7. SORE DISTRESS

To pass away and move into another shell
It takes my breath, dislocate a second cell
Our faces show the time line
Her heart stops being loved
Your voice sets the edition
To move into another cell, to pass away

Let me bend all
Into another
Where we get away
Take me in your arms
Into another
Where we get away

(Your voice is unforgiving)

Keys locked away and move into another shell
He took my place and no one there could even tell
Our faces show the time line
Her heart stops being loved
To pass away and move into another dream

Let me bend all
Into another
Where we get away
Take me in your arms
Into another
Where we get away

Your voice is unforgiving
This feeling's eating me alive
Our faces show the time line
(The guilt can't stop spinning)
Her heart stops being loved wrong
Your voice sets the edition
(It moves them slow)
Won't stop me from insisting

Let me bend all
Into another
Where we get away
Take me in your arms
(This will come apart)
Into another
Where we get away
(Into another cell)

Let me bend all
Into another
Where we get away
Take me in your arms
(This will come apart, even when you are)
Into another
Where we get away
(This will come apart)


8. THE SECRET MEANING OF FREEDOM

Pretend that they disappointed of the outcome
But secretly everything is how I planned
I never thought you and I would have this closure
It couldn't be and suddenly it's ours

I can tell you were
You must be low to find me
They wanted us to be afraid
They wanted us to be afraid
They wanted
I see myself
I see myself
I see exactly what you wanted

I never thought that you and I would have this closure
I put it in my head but it just drifts away (Way down)
And that's coming in the distance and it forced you miles apart
I never thought that simple was easy as it sound

I can tell you were
You must be low to find me
They wanted us to be afraid
They wanted us to be afraid
The day there to show
That no one is divided by the vision in the snow
(Impersonate yourself)
The days is there to show
That no one is divided by the vision in the snow
You never wanted

In my mind
A single thread
It holds resentment
The way that it was
Bring you down
Everything you want
Could be the last thing that you need
Never wanted
You never wanted

And I know who you are
And I know why you're afraid
And I know who you are
And I know why you're afraid

I see myself
I see myself
I see exactly what you wanted


9. OLD FRIENDS

No way divides the victim
(Nothing gets in, in the way)
I won't ask for your permission
(It's what you like, what it is)

I saw dysfunction in your rhythm
Life just slips away
Passed right through the first incision
Everything we are

I'll wait till you've forgotten
(I've seen the way you are)
If you get past the worst of that you know
(Look what good that did)
Fall along, fall along, innocent, innocent
Infractions that we know (Infractions that we know)
Quietly, quietly, everyone, everyone
Just as the summer ends

If you could keep the right commitment
(Nothing gets in, in the way)
And you put all your hope within it
(It's what you like, what it is)

I saw dysfunction in your rhythm
Life just slips away
Passed right through the first incision
Everything we are

I'll wait till you've forgotten
(I've seen the way you are)
If you get past the worst of that you know
(Look what good that did)
Fall along, fall along, innocent, innocent
Infractions that we know (Infractions that we know)
Quietly, quietly, everyone, everyone
Just as the summer ends

It won't be my decision (Don't wait for me)
I didn't ask for your permission (It won't be long)
No way divides the victim (It rips away)
I didn't ask for your permission (It won't be long anyway)
(I've seen the way you are)
It won't be my decision (Don't wait for me)
I didn't ask for your permission (It won't be long)
(We connect with something anyway)
No way divides the victim (It rips away)
I didn't ask for your permission (It won't be long)
We connect with something anyway


10. ILLUSION & CONTROL

Are you settling?
The faces, the shadows are fading away
Wasting it all, wasting it all
Without any direction
And I can't settle down
Without losing something else

(Ooh, all right)
We're entitled in a fallen realm
(Ooh, all right)
Nothing's ever done

Dare I place it all inside of
Something I can't reach
Without knowing that I can make it on my own
We could never know

Is it close enough?
Tracing the outline it's fading away
Wasting it all, wasting it all
Without any direction
And I need something more
Could you make it feel safe?

(Ooh, all right)
We existed in a different place
(Ooh, all right)
Nothing's ever done

Dare I place it all inside of
Something I can't reach
Without knowing that I can make it on my own
We could never know

([Reversed:] I can't settle down without using someone else)
We we're all wrong, all the opposition's gone (opposition's gone)
I needed it all, all the conflicts of our past (conversation's gone)
I can't settle down without using someone else

I've been counting the seconds after the handshakes
I know you sound well, it's such a bad drug
You made a promise, I looked away
I'll never forget the illusion take out your portrait
Out of a shadow, out of an idea
You never had it, you never want it
You never could, I'll never forget that


11. CONTROL AND THE URGE TO PRAY

I've already been there
A broken lock
Inside a rotting idea of a heart
You'll never find it
You took my name
On top a desolate mountain of hope

I saw it frame by frame
We'll take it all apart
Until there's nothing left to prove
I saw it frame by frame
(Perfect the weakest thread, until the bitter end)
You'll never see it (And in my eyes)
Before you know it will be gone

I've never heard of
A patient prayer
Within a chorus of unending sin
I've already been there
It feels the same
Inside a rotting idea of a heart

If you write it down
It feels the same, the same

I saw it frame by frame
We'll take it all apart
Until there's nothing left to prove
I saw it frame by frame
(Perfect the weakest thread, until the bitter end)
You'll never see it (And in my eyes)
Before you know it will be gone

Beloved restitution
I can't take on the dead
I reelect all the past solutions
Pass around just say
That something's wrong

Always a race to keep you dragging on
Until the currents change
Our days are paced to keep from burning out
You used to care

Always a race to keep you dragging on
(Bent and fold)
Until the currents change
(It takes us all)
Our days are paced to keep from burning out
(I'm sensing shit)
You used to care so much


12. DRINKING FROM THE FOUNTAIN

Fits right in
Know the opposition’s fair
Through your angry glow
Time is running out
Sing for truest sound
You're gonna get what you wished for
The surface is now
Delete mistakes
I am the last direction

I hope you get everything you wanted
Don't allow the silence to have full control
Giving out a lot of information
Drinking from the fountain, everyone gets sick

If you believe that could have come from me
That I don't want to have to wait that long

Fake it like a man from the first reflection
Break it like a limb
Or wherever you decide
If this is what you want
Keep it like it was from the first reflection
Something that I learned from the hundred times I've tried
Now this is the last direction

I hope you get everything you wanted
Don't allow the silence to have full control
Giving out a lot of information
Drinking from the fountain, everyone gets sick

If you believe that could have come from me
That I don't want to have to wait that long
Fits right in
Know the opposition's frail
Make the exit sound in a different way

Know your purpose
Don't be afraid to follow all directions
Don’t get confused and follow someone's footsteps
Just know your place
We all must go off on our own
(x3)

If you believe that could have come from me
That I don't want to have to wait that long
(x2)


13. ALONG THE SHADOW OF MAN

Well I suspect the origin
We're just repeating ourselves
And as the first in line, we want
To see the city explode
(And I don't wanna hold you down)
If I could guess the outcome
I would have never left
(Oh I don't wanna hold you down)
You'll still be painting your pictures
Well, how come we're the same?

Closed eyes, we retreated

Blink if you hear our signal
Our hands drip red with blood from clapping when
You hear the command
The sparrow ate our bread trails
Go East along this shadowed mountainside
If you wanna stay alive

Well you had pinched my arm to find light
And know that if this is real
I know how the emotion
Now I can't sense when or if I get out
(And I'm still wayside with myself)
We ride without conviction
And now it swallows our path
(Oh, why am I wayside with myself?)
Will you taste the oxygen
The rest is history

Closed eyes, we retreated

Blink if you hear our signal
Our hands drip red with blood from clapping when
You hear the command
The sparrow ate our bread trails
Go East along this shadowed mountainside
If you wanna stay alive

You'll never find it, no
You'll never be there, yeah

Blink if you hear our signal
Our hands drip red with blood from clapping when (You'll never find it)
You hear the command
The sparrow ate our bread trails
Go East along this shadowed mountainside (You'll never be there)
If you wanna stay alive
