01. Wrinkle

[Instrumental]

02. FXMLDR

Way above the atmosphere
I think of us
While counting all
The rocks we see between

I see you red then blue
Come on bring it
Down down down
Down down down

So let's not discuss this
Get me out of here
I've never fit in
I'm alien

Looks like you finally made it
How I've anticipated
Your return to planet Earth
Light years away, you've made it
There's no more contemplating

Circles
Invitations
They are one of us
Grey and lean
Our chemistry is real

Surface radiates
Burning everything
We never were alone
Forever knowing this
To be true

Way above the atmosphere
Way above me, find you there

So let's not discuss this
Get me out of here
I've never fit in, I know
You know exactly what I'm saying
I'm one of your own
Never alone

Looks like you finally made it
How I've anticipated
Your return to planet Earth
Light years away, you've made it
There's no more contemplating

My pilot on the way home
Is the god you've never seen
One by one picture them
And how much they love you
My pilot on the way home
Is the god you've never seen
One by one picture them
And how much they love you
How much they love you

Looks like you finally made it
Looks like you finally made it
Looks like you finally made it
How I've anticipated
Your return to planet Earth
Looks like you finally made it
How I've anticipated
Your return to planet Earth

Light years away, you've made it
There's no more contemplating
Take me home
Take me home

Home

03. Swarm

Full circle
All will be returning in due time
Concentrate on erasing the commotion
Come again with a little bit of urgency
You've got the best of me

Oh my Carolina
Feel like I've been had
Feel like I could tear down the wall, call it a day
But then again, I'm the destroyer

Does it ever make you wonder?
What if I took a left instead of right?
And what if I'm to blame?
I'll be damned, I'm digging my own grave

Stir, agitate, feel defeat
Nothing could ever take that from me
Where do I belong?
Where do I belong?
And did you ever notice the light was turning?
Only green can get you there
You've got to be ready to go
So come again with a little bit of love now
Come again with a little bit of urgency

Oh my Carolina
Feel like I've been had
Feel like I could tear down the wall, call it a day
But then again, I'm the destroyer

Does it ever make you wonder?
What if I took a left instead of right?
And what if I'm to blame?
I'll be damned, I'm digging my own grave

Do you have to recall?
Why don't you leave it there?
Though the memory's died
Watch how you open up
Do you have to recall?
Why don't you leave it there? Yeah
Though the memory's died
Watch how (you open up)

So I'll stay here
Where do I belong?
Where do I belong?
So I'll stay here
Where do I belong?
Where do I belong?
So I'll stay here
Where do I belong?
Where do I belong?
Where do I belong?

04. Son Of A Serpent

Crash and burn
Witness to the nightmare
Tables turn
It's a shake up
You better know just what it's worth
So many times, you were complacent
Weakness starts to show
(Weakness starts to show)
Constantly breaking
Feel like letting, feel like letting go

I fade into
These images in your mind
These memories suit me just fine
Suit me just fine
Tried to free my soul
And an echo's all you heard, all you heard
Tried to free my soul
Watch it fall to the wayside

(Oh, I don't know why)
Don't know why I'm feeling low
(Oh, I don't know why)
Don't know why I'm feeling low

But I'm sure there's a place
To bury the old me and start anew
Tired of the things I put me through
How much can I lose?

Crash and learn
Be prepared for consequence
Tables turn
Just make it up, make it up as you go
As you go
Don't care if it burns
You just go

Don't know why
Don't know why
Don't know why I'm feeling
Don't know why I'm feeling low
(Why I'm feeling low)
Don't know why I'm feeling low
Maybe it's beyond my control
I'm always the last to know

But I'm sure there's a place
To bury the old me and start anew
Tired of the things I put me through
How much can I lose?

05. Birdwatching

Right out the window
Trust me, it's crumbling
Watch as they fall right from the sky

Undeserving of their wings
I find it hard to sympathize
One more detour on the road to nowhere
Ignore the signs of what's ahead
Please just leave me where I lie and watch the
The final tide rise above my head

Tell me what I came here for
Tell me what I came here for

Right out the window
Trust me, it's crumbling
Right out the window

06. Everyday Ghosts

Live for the chemistry
And not what pulls us apart
Surrounding me
I've forgotten about the scars
When karma pays
Then we're gonna fly away
We'll fly away
See what we can create

In my soul
There's no shame in the choices I've made
Tired of breaking your back for
A million assholes
A million assholes
We can't keep pushing it away
Can't pretend

Time has come to choose
Listen to your truth
Sometimes I feel so ordinary
Sometimes I struggle with who I am
Never forget the fire I still feel inside
The only reason I survived
It's right here in this place

This beat's got my heart feeling like
A riddle I guess I'll never figure out
Lost in the race
They tend to neglect you
It's like becoming a ghost
I see through you
You are transparency
But then you say
That you want to fly away
So fly away
See what we can create

In my soul, there's no shame
In the choices I've made
Tired of breaking your back for
A million assholes
A million assholes

Sometimes I feel so ordinary
Sometimes I struggle with who I am
Never forget the fire I still feel inside
The only reason I survived
It's right here in this place

07. Chromology

[Instrumental]

08. Geronimo

At peace in the worst of times
Dedicated to the moment
I crossed out the world
That only tries to feed on the hate inside
Preying on all that you fear
Not satisfied until you're tamed
Let the universe deal with commotion
It's everything we'll never know
Just another wave in the ocean
Takes you where you need to go
And if you understand that you're defenseless
You just might let it go
Geronimo

It's just a bag of bones
But it's everything I need
I'm ready to go
Forward strides are leaving it all behind
Finally starting to heal
No longer need to numb the pain
Forget about what you think is hopeless
Remember there's more room to grow
Outside the walls that have you surrounded
And always wanting more
But the less you got the more it seems worth it
It's not impossible, just logical

Reversing gravity
Making your way to heights you've never seen before
Gratified
There's no need to comprehend this
Force you're feeling
Seeing the world and all her beauty with new eyes
Gratified
I see clearly for the first time in my life

Every season spent in solitude
(Spent in solitude)
With poison pumping through my heart and my veins
(Through my heart and my veins)
Lost my footing
I was walking a tightrope
(Walking a tightrope)
Seeking balance but it never came
I believe I found my way
Know this time I've found my way

Reversing gravity
Making your way to heights you've never seen before
Gratified
There's no need to comprehend this
Force you're feeling
Seeing the world and all her beauty with new eyes
Gratified
I see clearly for the first time in my
Clearly for the first time in my
Clearly for the first time in my life

09. Life Of Vermin

The sidewinder
The fancy fool
The liar and the goon
Thorn in the side of everyone
You made me aware
Back and forth
Deny the truth and never follow through
Thorn in the side of everyone
Divide and conquer
Backslider
It's time you tasted defeat
Backslider
Can't you face it?
(Money's evil, but I think it's just the people)

Piles of gold as far as I could see
Not the same, you and me
Got found out
Number one counterfeit
All the hate that you spit
High inside ivory tower
Watch the world burn under our feet

Bury my head deep in the ground
(Deep in the ground)
To better understand the life of vermin
System's failed us and we don't even notice
Losing touch, look what we've become
Everyone is scared of everyone
(Everyone is so afraid)
More laws than order
You coward
It's time you tasted defeat
You coward
Can't you face it?


Piles of gold as far as I could see
Not the same, you and me
Got found out
Number one counterfeit
All the hate that you spit
High inside ivory tower
Watch the world burn under our feet

Far from perfect
So far, but so close to the heart
Tired? Damn right
The only thing I see
Are obedient subordinates who
Fight for their lives while
These bastards crack their side smiles
They squeeze you until you're blue
They whisper fear into the ears of
The ears of a zombie
A mindless undead army won't rise

Crazy, why deny
The spirit still left inside?
The beast that we try to hide
Crazy, but
Why surrender battles I have won?
These battles I have won?
Crazy, why deny
The spirit still left inside?
The beast that we try to hide
Crazy, but
Why surrender battles I have won?
These battles I have won

Far from perfect
So far, but so close to the heart
Tired? Damn right
The only thing I see
Are obedient subordinates who
Fight for their lives while
These bastards crack their side smiles
They squeeze you until you're blue
They whisper fear into the ears of
The ears of a zombie
A mindless undead army won't rise

10. Shatner's Lament

[Instrumental]

11. Anchor

Faster we are sinking
Still, we take our time
Backwards way of thinking
No reason, no rhyme
Silent screams don't whisper a single word
Fast asleep, this ignorance is more than you deserve
Even though we sink
We don't even try
This punishment doesn't fit the
Crime
Torture
Without change
More of the same
Stop closing open doors
Doors

Cancel my tomorrow
I've got no chance
Finding comfort in denial
Get used to the mask
I can't bare to look
Though I'm wanting to
Watch me sink my hooks
It's a part of always being afraid


I've been thinking I'm insane
Forget the way
Forget the way you were
Were
Were

Sorry, I can't take it anymore, I swear
I swear this time I'm getting back to good
When will I (Will I)
Wake up (Wake up)?
Will I ever learn?
It's just the same old story
Same old ball and chain
Ball and chain
Same old story
Same old ball and chain

Will forever decays
Slipping away
Could be permanent
I'll articulate
If you want me to
I'll articulate
Will forever decays

I've been thinking I'm insane
Forget the way
Forget the way you were
Were
Were

Sorry, I can't take it anymore, I swear
I swear this time I'm getting back to good
When will I (Will I)
Wake up (Wake up)?
Will I ever learn?
It's just the same old story
Same old ball and

Caught in the wave
Ride it all the way down
Don't just stand there lifeless
It's all just a game
Caught in the wave
Ride it all the way down
Don't just stand there lifeless
It's all a game
It's all just a game
All a game
All a game
Faster we are sinking
Still, we take our time
It's a backwards way of thinking
No reason

I've been thinking I'm insane
Forget the way
Forget the way you were
Were
Were

Sorry, I can't take it anymore, I swear
I swear this time I'm getting back to good
When will I (Will I)
Wake up (Wake up)?
Will I ever learn?
Same old story
Same old ball and chain
Same old ball and chain
Chain

12. New Moon

On a new moon
I've been waiting for the sun
Though it never shone
On a new moon
I can shed my earthly skin transforming
On a new moon
Dancing on this satellite

Dancing on this satellite
On a new moon
I can see my home from here
Locked in winter
Watch the whole world disappear
On a new moon
Can you hear my voice from here?

13. Terraformer

Ripped me to pieces
I've been torn apart
Left here too soon for me to say
Wonder where you've been these years apart
Still, I don't know what to say

Oh, inside my mind's a fucking hurricane
Oh, lately I just don't feel the same
The moments I shared with you, my oldest friend
I'll hold until the end

Wonder where you are
Wonder where we're going
The brightest star
You were always meant to go there
(Vamanos)
Vamanos, I still see your face here
See your face here
See your face in everything

Stranger to this world, I'm
Glad you never
Have to see what I see when I wake up
Eyes are open to all of this
To all this madness I see when I
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
We'll all be there someday
Inevitable, what's the rush?
The days down on Klinger
They paved the way

Oh, inside my mind's a fucking hurricane
Oh, lately I just don't feel the same
The moments I shared with you, my oldest friend
I'll hold until the end

Wonder where you are
Wonder where we're going
The brightest star
You were always meant to go there
(Vamanos)
Vamanos, I still see your face here
See your face here
See your face in everything

So under, I'm sweeping it
I stare into the sun
To see where you reside
This pain will end in time
Speak to me
Tell me what you know
Speak to me, woah
One more taken way before
Your time, I'll never know
One more taken way before
Your time, I'll never
The slow decay of visions of our youth
A time that me and you would never change

Wonder where you are
Too soon yet too far
Wonder where you are
Too soon

Wonder where you are
Wonder where we're going
The brightest star
You were always meant to go there
(Vamanos)
Vamanos, I still see your face here
See your face here
