The stars are out this morning Blotted shapes amongst a backdrop An increasing light is dawning All to be banished by the sun Swift, strong, a nuisance of society Independent strokes of genius and insanity Headstrong, this victim of brutality will never really have a tight grip on their humanity And I thought I was the only one blind enough to see Screw letting go of who we are and hope to be I came too far to consciously give up originality The strokes of white lightning strike the trees with a vengeance Cause a chain-like reaction all without modern satisfaction We don’t have anything left We don’t have anything left We left all our burdens behind when the oceans expanded Manipulating the tide Manipulating my mind The signs all point to: “I don’t really care about you” And this night will go on I tell myself this to justify not knowing you And why are you playing those games? Find someone who has the time to play 'Cause this game’s over
2.
There’s gotta be a motive on this pointless lack of conversation We’re focused enough to break through to the bottom of this lack of supervision over what we call our lives It’s not good enough to pour our souls into the void Envelope every inch inside until we find our sense of pride Just let it go Let me know how we got so high I’m falling hopeless and dramatic Another never-ending habit It’s all the same but learning to accept and not to blame The world is exactly as it should be So pull your pieces back together Bite off more than you can chew Purest white Grant me all you've got to give Grant me every petty wish I challenge momentary bliss Fight me for the honor we bestow on every hero met by foe Our lives are never-ending Lights fade and towers fall Ignoring peace through it all Try to separate our minds but bodies end up tangled sometimes Return my spirit back to home We’ll move through the never-ending sea of white Blinding my eyes The purest tinting of whites It lies ahead Under the pigment left like snow Poured into vast and dying skies Is it what you wanted? And if it doesn’t go as planned who will take the fall? Light our way Who will take the fall?

How can it be this way? I’m on top of a fucking mountain See the lights stretch down below Assimilated, guided by the day Today ‘Cause honestly tomorrow’s miles away And what I’d give to just stay here forever and take this scenic view with you My lungs can barely breath And if I fall, will you catch me? We’re at the top of the world and bracing ourselves, bracing ourselves to get higher yet I said be careful when standing close to the edge I didn’t want nothing to happen unexpected or we’ll end up dead A part of me is wondering how the hell we will get down It doesn’t seem to matter though Right now ‘Cause I’m alive I’m alive for the first time And I can clearly see the median between the colors of your eyes The way they shine off of the snow and sky The little things, the little things that happen between you and I These ropes have snapped along with all the beauty that’s attached Just rest your head We’re racing through the sky Falling to demise Sit back and dream We dream in different colors The colors of your eyes At the top of the world And bracing ourselves, bracing ourselves for impact I said be careful when standing close to the edge And now we’re falling very fast to our disaster Just like I said And I can clearly see the median between the colors of your eyes (To my surprise)

The Jaunt 03:48
Please give me one good reason angel Angel I’m all out of strategy while you are attacking me with reasons unaccounted for Your lies are strewn across the floor What part of life just don’t you get Been up all night set up for this Just act like you’re so innocent and keep on bringing me down We’ve been stuck here way too long In this mess we call a home Angel please You’re dragging your feet across the floor Why’s there have to be so many different roads to take When the one that’s straight and to the point works better anyway Just raise your voice in protest contemplating annotations made Angel, I said lock that fucking door Liar please I don’t believe a word you say to me Angel please Your light means everything to me And exactly what point was made in deceiving the world into believing you are who you say you are And not caring of the consequence or aftermath You're set in your lies Arrows fill the sky and to stand in a lie is certain suicide So lets get one thing straight, angel You’re set in your lies

Floater 04:09
We’re skydiving with one eye blind to, one eye blind to the world Thoughts move slow through the decline A docile sense of mind A silent form of discord breathing slowly Flying by Anticipating floating into the sky Only one Only while we float right through the sky It’s never ending They’re gonna let us live this down The sky is falling with mesmerizing words to paint this sound It’s such a trivial way to live this down Fight amongst the people on the ground We’re moving slowly Planning how to bring some comfort to the floating people on their knees Rise up to me Only one Only while we float right through the sky Excuse me but I must decline to float on by To live a lie To misconstrue that with no plans there’s no meaning to float on It’s never ending They’re gonna let us live this down The sky is falling with mesmerizing words to paint this sound We're never gonna live this down The politics is on my list of things to bash alarming the people of what is overhead Watching, waiting Temporary visions of ecstacy We'll be floating, we'll be floating on Galaxies pulling me closer and closer I see where it's leading me Floating alone

No Respect 03:57
Well, if looks could kill your eyes can calmly see Congratulation to the girl who took everything from me Boring copies from a world that brought down structures built by man With the help of sex to get us through the copy boom I just don’t give a fuck Can you imagine why? The flight that didn’t book could never really fly Now that that’s through we’ll calmly designate manipulations of the mind without sinful rebate Procrastination killed the boy who knows not what to do And everybody’s got something to prove We’ll rise again after we’re dead Just to believe we’ve left something behind Deciding when to pretend Never to know that our message is dead Fight again Hide again Never to know that our message is dead Lies again Lined in sin Never to know… Why does everybody look so high? Even doctors take the pills that they prescribe Crush it up and rail until they’re high enough to drive We’ll rise again after we’re dead Just to believe we’ve left something behind Deciding when to pretend Never to know that our message is dead Fight again Hide again Never to know that our message is dead Lies again Lined in sin Never to know that our message is dead We’ve left something behind and it seems like a whole lot more than what we’ve planned We've left something behind Fight again Hide again Never to know that our message is dead Lies again Hide in sin Never to know that our dreams are dead
