one by one we disappear
02:40

2. |

|
like the ground below
like a circle ain’t straight
our existence is not up
up for debate
living undercover or
buried alive
the future is our right
right to survive
‘cause you (you!)
you (you!)
you (you!) you (you!) you
you can’t erase us!
we’re not here to
make demands
we’re a rising tide you better
get your head out the sand
‘cause one by one we’re
coming back
from the void from the maw from the
jaws of attack

the prison ventriloquist
04:37
|
|||
|
rolling sevens and elevens
in a courtyard beyond escape
reaching out the hand of freedom
when the warden calls your name
see them climbing up to heaven
see them running from this place
there’s a voice that speaks through you but
who now am I talking to?
a believer without a trace
there’s a room inside this prison
that nobody dares to name
where their blankets torn to ribbons
they are ropes that can hold their weight
see them climbing up to heaven
see them running from this place
there’s a voice that speaks through you but
who now am I talking to?
a believer without a trace
and in the twilight we could see them
by the bullet trails they made
like the tower in our vision
they are stones that cannot remain
see them climbing up to heaven
see them running from this place
there’s a voice that speaks through you but
who now am I talking to?
a believer without a trace

did you know (s)he was a soldier boy?
I didn’t think you did
(s)he wasn’t reading writing to destroy
kept his (her) body hid
from the views of everyone (s)he knew
but like his (her) future son
there wasn’t anything that (s)he could do
to make the past be gone
get yourself a little more
help yourself to a little bit more time
you’ve got to let it shine
when the walls around you are closing in
tell us what the future gives
who holds the debt?
your body’s paying the price
school’s closing down in your head
don’t pull the trigger the haunted will multiply
‘cause with this running all around in circles
it’s mighty tough to ride to the end of the line
you’ve got to let it shine
when the walls around you are closing in
tell us what the future gives

all of the words that you told me
they’re circling round in my brain
the grave of a lonely god
and all of your best intentions
they’re driving me insane
in the grave of a lonely god
but if you run through the mountains
and you flow through the streams
then you’ll know what it means
when the devil’s in me
and if you run through the rivers
that flow to the seas
then you’ll know what it means
what you want it to mean
I’ve seen the tribulations
the threshing of the grain
In the grave of a lonely god
and I’ve seen the manifestations
of a million dying dreams
in the grave of a lonely god
we were depending on you
more than words could convey
open up my miracles to
pray for the rain
for the rain
open up my miracles to
pray for the pain
for today
everyone knows it’s over
the skies end up folding, we all start to break
open up my miracles to
pray for the rain
for the rain
open up my miracles to
pray for the pain
for today

follow the rain
04:15
|
|||
|
mercy is easy to say
when the whole world has gone away
and the cold broken light in my face
says you won’t do this again
I’ll follow the rain
down to the sea floor again
where the cold broken light in my face
is as warm as your embrace
now you wash your hands
of all you don’t understand
and your cold broken light in my face
is as warm as your embrace

fading golden spires
04:16
|
|||
|
darling it’s you and me
and no one else can ever see
the failing of desire
it ain’t what it used to be
and all that’s left eventually
are fading golden spires
I heard you were walking around
on hollow ground
to go wherever happiness happens to be found
and then you were walking away
unhaulin’ day
I don’t mind your hangin’ or recapturing the pain
held you in ecstasy
in emptiness and empathy
bailing the waters that rise
but it’s always one two three
four five six and then you leave
leave this world behind
I heard you were walking around
on hollow ground
to go wherever happiness happens to be found
and then you were walking away
unhaulin’ day
I don’t mind your hangin’ or recapturing the pain

best behavior
02:36
|
|||
|
everyone knows you’ve been on your best behavior
nobody thinks you’d ever get out of line
but nobody knows if you’re a borrower or a savior
they just ride ride ride into the night
every time you look into the mirror
the shapes and the colors they all start to unwind
but what you see in the shattered glass of opinion
is just a side side side of your mind
everyone knows you’ve been on your best behavior
‘cause you’re always the last one to the scene of the crime
but what you’ve been running from is a real enemy
not just a lie lie lie in your mind
over your shoulder behind your back and inside your heart
all that you know is starting to unwind
but what you see in the light of a million exploding suns
is just a side side side of your mind
it’s just a light light light in your mind

the feeling I’ve lost
03:24
|
|||
|
oh my gracious!
your liberation was
a fever that started to trend
there in the distance
begging resistance is
the feeling I’ve lost in the end
so tear me open
my sweet overlord
treat your dead horse like a friend
bury the needle
under-believer with
the feeling I’ve lost in the end
|

writing your rites
sold death
you drape the candle
with the night
granted time given time
for one in ten to care
their faces turned away
the tide has turned away
we could not trace the candlelight
two bodies on the bridge
in missile town
inevitable
inevitable confrontation
inevitable
confrontation
and all your systems will fail
