1. WHITE PICKET DEFENSE SYSTEM

Hide behind politics hide behind policy.
This is the modern age so we got you on radar.
Hide behind fences put up our best defenses.
This is the modern age so we got you we got you.

We're preserving ourselves deep down into our shells.
While the swarm awaits at the front gates. Savage... savage etiquette guarded by the cannibals.

Oh how unfortunate that we've become the animals.
Our eyes won't dialate beyond the peripherals.
We're preserving ourselves deep down into our shells.
While the swam awaits at the front gates.

Regenerate.

No longer can we disavow the hands that we shake.
Yeah the hands that we shake.
We're preserving ourselves deep down into our shells.

(While the swarm) awaits.

We all run behind white fences and hide behind our best defenses.
We hide we hide we hide.
We all run and hide.


2. ONE + ONE

Scribble the sweetness concealed by your lips.
Sending this promise that's clenched by your fist.
Echoes falling short the distance.
All these efforts make no difference.

Now that I'm writing our names out in full.
Say it inside one thousand times.
One and one together can still become zero.
One and one zero zero.

These tracks, they can't lead me back to you.
These tracks, I know they won't lead me back to you.
These criss-crossed steps. S
hort deep breaths.
They won't lead me back to you.

"But it won't be long" and "I'll see you soon".

"Yeah we'll keep in touch".

You said "we'll see this through".

It was a matter of time.
Filed down our last romance.
I replay the words that passed. As we slept with nothing left.

As we slept with nothing...
I watched you turn around.
One and one together can still become zero.
One and one zero zero.

I watched you turn around.


3. THE BREATH

What sets you apart what sets us apart.
Some kind of sign that you're alive.
Show me a sign that you're still alive.
Stop your pulse drops.

As you dwell upon the breath that you're just about to take.
Hey you hey you stranger over there.
What are you besides a creature taking in the air.

Spell out your names.
Tell me your lies.
Stranger, what sets you apart.
Stranger, what sets us apart.

What sets you apart what sets us apart.
Show me some kind of sign that you're alive.
Show me a sign that you're still alive.
It's all just a matter of conditional response.

Sending out a search.
Search for a Picasso.
Bring up back to life, paint us back to life.

Spell our your names.
Tell me your lies.
Stranger, what sets you apart.
Stranger, what sets us apart.

Some kind of sign that you're alive.
Show me a sign that you're still alive.
It's all just a matter of conditional reponse.
Bring us back to life.

Paint us back to life.

This is a sign.


4. IN THE PAST... ON THE GROUND

Now it's time, time to fly.
Now it's time, time to fly.

Despite crippled wings, forget your crippled wings.
Forget mangled hearts, forget these fragile times.

Black holes... past tense... blood drops for the wolves.

You might look down and wonder why.
We are to walk these jagged lines.
Look down look down and wonder why.
We are to walk these jagged lines.

This is a choice don't try to fool yourself.
It's all a choice. So just for the moment I choose to stand on these two feet.
They're just lifting me away.
Yeah, just lifting me away.

There is a reason for gaps in our thoughts.
Blood drops... past tense.
We are the prints of what was left behind.
All of us all of us.

Look down.
Look down and wonder why.

We are to walk such jagged lines.
This is a choice.
Don't try to fool yourself.
It's all a choice.

Black holes... past tense... blood drops for the wolves.

You might look down and wonder why.
We are to walk these jagged lines.

Now it's time to fly.
Now it's the time to fly.


5. EUPHIO QUESTION

Just let me ask this question.
You'll have some time to answer.

Do you know where you're going?

Do you know how to get there?


6. A FRAGILE VERISON

We live with covered eyes convinced that we still see. Colored lies say we can be something more than lost at sea.

Something more than lost at sea. A fragile version.
A little more than a skeleton.
Like sand blown by the wind.
Covered eyes covered ears.

The most awkward glances so quick to wash away.
Like sand blown by the wind.
Nothing more than lost at sea.
Nothing more than lost at sea.

Cold string of lifeless limbs.

Floating under violent tides and this heart beats strong.
A fragile version.
A little more than a skeleton.
Like sand blown by the wind.

No longer do I claim to come from anytime or anyplace.

Still all of these faceless names call on to this nameless face.

Call on to this nameless face.
Cold string of lifeless limbs.
Floating under violent tides.
But this heart beats strong.

Call on to this nameless face.
A fragile version.
A little more than a skeleton.
Like sand blown by the wind.


7. THE RED ROOM

Underground of the underground.
Outcasts of an outcast tribe.

Let's take it further.

Underground of the underground.
Outcasts of an outcast tribe.


8. ABANDON THE ABBREVIATED WORLD

It's a violation against our will.
Ten men in business suits forging this masquerade.
Words are dead.
This is intangible.

Coming through in digital.
The billboards burn while we make our own space.
Their heads all turn while we reset the pace.
Don't follow these signs.

It is a violation against our will and faith.
Ten men in business suits forging this masquerade.
Don't follow these signs on this road to nowhere.
Don't follow these signs they all lead to nowhere.

The billboards burn while we make our own space.

Their heads all turn while we reset the pace.
Don't follow these signs.
Words are dead.
This is intangible.

Coming through in digital.
Their words are dead to us.
It's all around you, it's in the air you breathe, and now it's closing in, we have to abandon.

These words.
They are material.
They are abbreviated.
Like sand blown by the wind.


9. NOUVEAU

What could be said and what could be?

If you look back on it all. What could be said and what could be?

Look back on it all.
Recall all that you never saw.
It just might carry you away.
Just let the lights go out.
Just let your legs give out.

It just might carry you away.
Filling up filling up filling up.
It feels so empty.
Spilling out spilling out spilling out.

You know it feels so empty.
Begin again as if you never began.
Begin begin again.
Recall what could be said.

Recall what could be and as the lights go out just let this carry you.

Just let the lights go out.
Just let your legs give out.
It just might carry you away.
Filling up filling up filling up.

It feels so empty.
Spilling out spilling out spilling out.
You know it feels so empty.
Begin again as if you never began.
Begin begin again.


10. VOICE

What have I become?
I swore to know so long ago.
What have we become?
We swore to never fall this far.

Clouds shifting shape.
Blue prints go up in flames.
The world it melts away.
So still in search.
So still I try to find this voice.

Oh it's too late to go back.
What have I become?
I swore to never fall this far.
It's too late to go back.
If I could do it all over again, I'd write it down.

So I never forget.

Clouds shifting space.
Blue prints go up in flames.
The world it melts away.
Write it down so I never forget.
So still in search. So still I try to find this voice.

It's too late to go back now.
What have we become?

We swore to know so long ago.
It's too late to go back now.
If I could do it all over again, I'd write it down cause all the words and lines we think we feel just fade away.

Someday we'll lie in graves.
Up above they'll say our names.
Someday we'll lie in graves.
Up above they'll say our names.

Write it down.
So I never forget.
