Vs- The road bleeds into the sky
Racing the clouds on both my sides
A moving picture screen
My eyes are awake but I'm asleep
The city turns into nowhere
Nowhere into somewhere
When all is said and done they look the same
Anywhere is everything
Ch- A modern (out of time)
Hypnosis (of my mind)
Strung out (on the line)
Whatever happened to me?
Br- Blasted by the sun and night
I’ll stick to my divide
I was thinking about the times
That shame was my design
I’m my biggest bully
Could this memory just slide
Miracle I’m still alive
Was that it?
Exit right
-Ch-
Vs--The future is drawing clear
With each mile I put in my rear view mirror
Unconscious now it's yesterday
No view the same from day to day
The decibels they numb my skin
Washing over me it never ends
As mindless as the air I breathe
Existing with no need to think
I'm not sure if it's all the drugs
A dream, malfunction or I'm concussed
Come to at the of the trip
Can someone tell me what I missed?

Vs- Fear and animosity
Give 'em what they crave
Sell 'em yesterday
Used to work, it'll work again
Captive audience
Sing along with me
Don’t read science fiction
Faith in fairy tale endings
Ch- Play me back on tape
I am the actor, I am the scene
Hey son, what do you say
Play me back on tape
My progression, is regression
Hey son, what do you say
Vs- Got the VHS
Rambo on repeat
Freeze frame the 1980's
Making them believe
The future past
Is what they need
Safe inside nostalgia
Safe when nothing changes

Vs- Fog fills the room
Fog fills my head
The light shines through
Maybe I’m dead
Hard to know
Finally feel alright
The wine is working
Body moving, leave my pain behind
B- Penniless with thrifted wishes
Treasure hunting playground sandpits
Vs- Another drink
So I won't think
Afraid to blink
Cause I'm loving what I see
Leave behind
Dividing lines
There's only now
And all I know is I'm alive
Ch- I got nothing, just like I wanted
Feel so light think I may float away
Blinded by the sun, we've been chosen
Silence says it all, that's all I have to say
Br- Penniless with thrifted wishes, treasure hunting playground sand pits
There’s an art to chasing daydreams living on a desert island
Ch- I got nothing, just like I wanted
Feel so light think I may float away
Blinded by the sun, we've been chosen
Silence says it all, that's all I have to say

Vs- A touch of death
To feel awake
Breathe in the frost
Exhaling fire
No guarantee
When we expire
Pre-Ch - Still, silent
Still, silent
Not as they say
A hell is here
The stories told
Of ages old
Abundant fear
All of the tears
-Pre-Ch-
Ch- I want to be strong
As strong as the night is long
But I’m afraid of the dark
And every single time we part
I lose a piece of myself
And the only thing that helps
Turns out the light
The wrong feels right
This fight’s a draw
Vs- Swims in the black lake
Sings a culling song
Always embrace the pain
I hope that I’ll live through the molt
I’ll float a beat
on River Silence to the sea
I found peace
On River Silence to the sea

Vs- Private island and jets
Champagne in a tower
Taken from the hours
That just disappear
Tax evade, lobby
Stars are in they eyes
Always on the grind
Never on the their dime
Another six pack for the runner
Tell ‘em ten times they’re a goner
The margins are razor thin,
Cuz you don’t mater to them
(They’ll) Have ya punched down on your brother
Have ya sellin' out your own mother
Is the price we're paying
Ch- Fucking disgraces
Swimming in commas
Piles on piles
As we watch from the bottom of the hill
From the bottom of the hill
Vs- It’s right in front of me
Stress is on the rise
Can’t afford a child
On thoughts and prayers
Feed em amanita
Let their demons come to meet me
They’ll never be the same, and that’s a start
Feed em amanita
May their maker come to eat em
Bury the day and start anew
-Ch-
Br- Say that this is out of your hands
The other foot is dropping
-Ch-

Vs- Some days I just wanna cry
Yet most days I just can’t
Laughing so hard I can’t breathe I wanna die
Then I cry makes no god damn sense
There’s a hole in my heart and it’s shaped like a snowflake
That melted right outta my brain
Tried to make ice to fill it in the middle
Guess it doesn’t work that way
Thought life was gonna be a breeze
Pre-Ch - I’m one of a kind
Has me wishing that I wasn’t
Hey there stranger
I wanted to be like you
But now that I am wish it wasn’t true
Ch- Now I'm perfectly broken
But the shoe doesn’t fit
Is this what I wanted
Man, I feel like shit
Take me back to the good old days
When ignorance was bliss
(Make 'em up if they don't exist)
Before we knew any better
Cause this ain't it
Vs- Painting pretty rainbows
While it rains acid from the sky
Stick out my tongue
Hope to get a little high
It's been a trip and what I've found
Getting up feels better than living underground
There's a whole lotta noise outside my head
And if I pay attention
I may wind up dead
Pre-Ch - Holding on tight
To what I’m not so sure
Strain to see the light but my vision is getting blurred
This life feels so absurd

Undress the Earth
I’d like to see
What’s underneath
In search of what serves me
Four thousand years
They’ll honor me
Like Julius or Jones
Cast in marble, Cast in stone
Ch:
They’ll honor me
im in my prime
First class, first heat
Mental gymnastic feats
I’ll defy gravity so
Scrutinize me
Ch
They’ll honor me
Ch 2:
What about everything else besides this
Mirror mirror I’ll reflect and dismiss
Tie identity like the burr to beast
The hoof on you
I was born into the wrong era of time
If it goes belly up, the end is nigh
I won’t crawl into a little hole and die
The manifest goes down with
this ship x3
Ch
They’ll honor me [x3]
You’ll honor me

To the times when we were friends
Bad advice - delivered with confidence
Test the strength
Bend or break
Are we fine in the end?
Ch- Ages now, Spacing out
Slim chances anyone will know your name
Spend a life, pushing that rock uphill
Tears that roll on down your face are they joy or are they hate?
Study the way, to seize the day
Force of nature, tough to resist
Up the sleeve, under a hat
Catch an ankle in a trap [kind of feels like it’s a trap]
Test the strength
Bend or break
Are we fine in the end?
Ch- Mission sequence singing the violence from within
The oasis might just give up or drown the hope it breeds
Aboard the ship existence no guaranteed admittance
What a luxury to be recycled and reintegrated
Ages now, spacing out
