Simulate the feel
Of all that's true and real Heya schadenfreude crescendo A.I. skew the innuendo Vilified, downward slide I listen, I glisten I listen, I glisten Oversized piston Driving home what isn't Heya incommunicado A.I. as far as you go Vilified, downward slide As if you don't know It's a hell of a show (Hungry right now) As if you don't know It's a hell of a show (Hungry right now) As if you don't know It's a hell of a show Oh, my savior, our failure Oh, my savior, our failure Heya data mine your halo A.I. knowing all that you show Vilified, downward slide Vilified, downward slide As if you don't know It's a hell of a show (Hungry right now) As if you don't know It's a hell of a show (Hungry right now) As if you don't know It's a hell of a show (Hungry right now) As if you don't know It's a hell of a show 02. Off The Rails
Pretend you're not alone
Head like a stone Pretend you're not alone Head like a stone Pretend you're not alone Head like a stone Pretend you're not alone Head like a stone Internal thunder, confusion groves Eat the fruit where passion flows in the shade Chronic soldier march in time Fill in the breach, the honor is mine Whatcha say? Over and over, ain't going slower? batten down Nothing more than heads or tails Might as well have a laugh Always two wheels off the rails Heat distortion, figures gleam Tending a fire, intentions mean cause they're paid Plowing over the chosen one Needle of poison, crack of a gun Put away Over and over, ain't going slower? batten down Nothing more than heads or tails Might as well have a laugh Cut the cord and set your sail Catch a wind while it lasts Nothing more than heads or tails Might as well have a laugh Always two wheels off the rails You're not alone Head like a stone Nothing more than heads or tails Might as well have a laugh Cut the cord and set your sail Catch a wind while it lasts Nothing more than heads or tails Might as well have a laugh Always two wheels off the rails Pretend you're not alone Head like a stone 03. Afterglow
Where you end and I begin there's no light
A parasite who lives within a hingeless door Far below the surface there, breathe a heavy sigh Stand alone in a circle squared, preparing to try Where you go, ash and cinders form the afterglow Blowing over You never know the shapes are thin, drawn in shadow lines Dust and foam the state I'm in, a sense of pride Where you go, ash and cinders form the afterglow Blowing over Trying hard to bleed slower Hear you're sinking low... get lower Trying hard to bleed slower Zeroes in my hand, and it's time Reach into the sand, come fill me again Where you go, ash and cinders form the afterglow Blowing over Undertow, ash and cinders light the afterglow Sucking under Trying hard to bleed slower Hear you're sinking low, I'm lower Trying hard to bleed slower 04. I Want Blood
I want blood
Waste my time with useless drivel Step on in toe to the line I'm gonna wear you down I don't fight fair, there's no rules Summary, the job inside You only rent the crown (Time) and so it goes (Time) all the races run (Time) I'm in control (Time) undefeated time I want blood You might land a shot or a shiver Or find yourself in the sublime I want your best so you know In my prime, takers and givers Out and in trial by fire Sharing the stage and blows (Time) and so it goes (Time) all the races run (Time) I'm in control (Time) undefeated time I want blood Every minute I want blood Every second I want blood Will you play me now for blood? Let's go Every minute I want blood Every second I want blood Will you play me now for blood? Let's go (Time) and so it goes (Time) all the races run (Time) I'm in control (Time) undefeated (Time) and so it goes (Time) all the races run (Time) I'm in control (Time) undefeated time 05. Echoes Of Laughter
Get on down that road and fly yourself away
You can't stop what's coming, the hour or the day I don't believe in a heaven or a hell Could be both in the now Baby it's hard, hard to tell I ran all night to find an answer, you went away The canyons echo of your laughter in the light of day I ran all night, a call I answered, you went away The canyons echo of your laughter in the light of day Laid you down, let go, a flower in the sun Rumble from above, the transfer had begun Not gonna see ya or hold you close again Touched my heart when the landslide came down the mountain At the end I ran all night to find an answer, you went away The canyons echo of your laughter in the light of day I ran all night, a call I answered, you went away The canyons echo of your laughter in the light of day, light of day Then you went away I ran all night to find an answer, you went away The canyons echo of your laughter in the light of day I ran all night, a call I answered, you went away The canyons echo of your laughter in the light of day 06. Throw Me A Line
Long ago I surrendered
Guess you know I did the crime Overdue, return to sender And even though in this good life Ain't no reason, won't you come on by Ain't no reason, I wanna get high Throw me a line, some other time And how will I be remembered? For a moment in the sun All the promise undelivered And the dead end roads I've run Ain't no reason, won't you come on by Ain't no reason, I wanna get high Throw me a line, some other time Throw me a line Been so long had me a real taste Twist my arm show me your real face What you choose may well differ A million miles begin with one Ain't no reason, won't you come on by Ain't no reason, I wanna get high Throw me a line, some other time 07. Let It Lie
Let it lie
Let it lie I don't mind the small derision After all it's just your way Took the time to come and see ya Testify to the hate I see how it fills ya Everybody has a spell they're under Beneath a primal urge to fight Can you see yourself in the other? Release the need to be so right Oh won't you let it lie? I am just your reflection You are mine all squirreled away Like a bundle of tinder Everybody has a spell they're under Beneath a primal urge to fight Can you see yourself in the other? Release the need to be so right Oh won't you let it lie? After all it's your way Turning love away Take the time, your decision How you shine is night or day Don't let it break you Everybody has a spell they're under Beneath a primal urge to fight Can you see yourself in the other? Release the need to be so right Oh won't you let it lie? Let it lie 08. Held Your Tongue
No tearful confession
I admit to nothing wrong Therapeutic regression I'll be waiting for you when it falls to dark Who put out your spark? Slow and steady no resting Are you ready to play that role? From the tip to the fadeout I leave you swinging blindly in the dark Try to make your mark Had my fun? hung and dried Held your tongue? young you tried Had my fun? hung and dried Held your tongue Kinda feel like it's played out Even as you win you know By design it's a shake down Wringing out a lone drop from a withered heart Well it is a start We belong together Separate never We belong together We share this space in time Had my fun? hung and dried Held your tongue? young you tried Had my fun? hung and dried Held your tongue No tearful confession I admit to nothing wrong Therapeutic regression I'll be waiting on you 'fore it all goes dark And put out your spark We belong together Separate never We belong together We share this space in time Young you tried? had my fun Hung and dried? held your tongue Young you tried? had my fun Hung and dried? held your tongue 09. It Comes
Ending, a place so cold and dry
Sending a look, avert your eyes I'm slowly drifting free From the ragged company Not only scars I see Notes in a symphony... undone Remember, count the reasons why Never redraw the path of time I'm slowly drifting free Let me go, it's all over From the ragged company We have tried, time to say goodbye Not only scars I see Notes in a symphony... it comes Wonder will it ever feel alright Slumber beneath a restless night I'm slowly drifting free Let me go, it's all over From the ragged company We have tried, time to say goodbye Not only scars I see Can't take another day Ain't the same for you as me Notes in a symphony... it comes |
