Torn, blown highways Forgotten monuments far away Trails blazed quickly And unending in their decay Was it clear enough to see? Was your vision filled with lights? Or was it too hard to breathe? Sink my sights straight out of town Nothing left but a voice too proud Lowered eyes take in grains of salt you had to miss Spiraled staircases, they didn't hold you with a kiss Pain is confusing It's even harder to be harder to be heard When there's much to latch on to And there is no standard word To say what you have meant all this time Not with a blow, but the force of your mind To trap a signal without fear And send it blazing far and near Try too hard, it slips away Hoist a map and slip out of the day I can't hear it, the haunted masses of the heart I can see it, the way we're taught to break apart Isn't much left to say All the words have been shifted, and our time has passed away To see my mother break with stress To see my father clutch his chest To have no idea what words to say To hope that time will soon pass away I've had enough to not belong Nothing left but a voice too strong (Part 2) Once I knew that I could be there I could not defend myself Trust in my own when I I'd be there No one should defend themselves With their Wondering Eye Isolated from yourself The best is yet to come Out of touch with the invisible You're the only one Who tries inside to die Indulging in the dark, we're the pacified Expectations from other men Hinder what we came for, known from the bend Told by the bold, inappropriate styles Isolated from yourself It was worth the while (Chorus) Must be lying Simplified like dying because I've been trying to control myself Must be lying Simplified like dying because I've been busy looking for myself With my Wondering Eye (Verse) Big trees fall easy now Apologies won't please me how I came was not how I left dressed In smirks of a different kind be best for Expectations of other men Hollow bodies try to pretend They make the rules when schools are closed But rules have been left to impose on Once you got yourself a style Come back out from your exile Nights fall quicker than a one-legged kicker So work it out now, was it worth your while? It was worth the while (Chorus) (Verse) Leave behind me Don't stop it was worth the while

In the clear, white midnight she heard songs that rang true That you're troubled at a young age when you got no point of view When the rain will pound the world outside into patterns that you knew Where you're holy in your memory but divided on where you grew Like the golden links worn round the necks of ancient gods She struggles to appoint herself new servants she can rob Of feelings they hold tightly but won't bleed unless they're caught Or chant upon her doorstep that they need a friend to talk (2x) And you may run into the field You may run into the dark You may run beneath the broken/golden/gilded streets to find her Like the million dynasties of men who traveled south Her words shine off her body, but don't dare rise out from her mouth To spirits on the shoreline who rose and knelt beside her mount Who'd kiss her feet but never speak the words she had to shout (2x) How you may run into the field You may run into the dark You may run beneath the broken/golden/gilded streets to find her And all the time She'll live in her mind She'll say, "You know, it's not that hard To be burdened by the memory, inclined towards possibility That you could never be the person that you thought you were" You were Just a blur You were Just a fossil In the hard-lickin summer, words are tasteless on the vine She rides upon a candied horse that spits out nurtured rhyme Protecting her from innocence, but never winning time To gather all the worshipers who wail in her decline Cupfuls by the handful of rain dousing human skin She tells them all the lightning's just your fire from within And the outstretched arms a-plenty need a reason to begin That cannon rush, that holy touch, is the spark that lets you in (2x) And you may run into the field You may run into the dark You may run beneath the broken/golden/gilded streets to find her And all the time She'll live in her mind She'll say, "You know, it's not that hard To be burdened by the memory, inclined towards possibility That you could never be the person that you thought you were" You were Just a blur You were Just an angel

Sleepin', under the window sill Until it shatters By the pulsing wind, trying to hold still On a different pattern You wake up wise, ready for your flight But the pilot's indifferent, he doesn't know your plight (Ch) But the people have spoken, it's just a token, of passerby's regards There's nothing worth noting, the poacher's been gloating, of tusks worn down to shards You can't expect service from an old man who's nervous of stepping too far outside Indecisive prowess, precise but spouseless, it's time to make up your mind (2x) I don't know why I don't know why I don't know why you had to be left out Thoughts that plan, written in a haze First thing in the morning Reckless words, delivered with a gaze Dim lights adorning Recycled favors drift into your sight I guess we'll stay here, at least just for the night (Ch) (2x) And I can't seem to find the steam to post past posture finally 'Til someone shouted purposely in languages I could not read But recognized his land-scarred face from edges seen but never traced On parchment paper laid to waste for nothing less than one more taste Sleepin', I'm not dreamin' But I'm steeped in Exactly what I'm feelin' right now

Trials by fire in your nesting place Pick apart a gaze and you'll find a new face One with pearls without women to waste One with a seed to make it in space How about a candle to light the road How about a time when my god isn't home How about a seed from a rolling stone How about a sin to make my way home Wait. Who said I was going home Who said I was going home Misspent days are running through Case in point, your point of view The upturned clock is telling you To curb the line and split in two In dusted effervescent sands You'll meet your match in different strands Till someone takes you by the hand And tells you that you've lost new land When the pieces break below And you run crying from the snow And the rain won't let you go Find the others who might know Expand from light and make it right The snow's too rough, the air's too tight To live your life by candlelight And face the stars with sharper bite Cross the lights and shine the glance At past remarks that mocked your stance At rooms that held you in a trance Of dust and dirt and hidden chance But the rooms they burst with power And your mindless eye devours All incapable missed hours Spent on cracks that wouldn't flower Signified in distant dunes The crossroads sting a bit too soon To hang and ride the crescent moon So why not sing a former tune But it's all too much I needed just a crutch To fight off bones from rust To step into the dust To lock you in the crutch Well I have heard it said That train tracks never bled That minds locked in the head Will lock you in your bed To crawl onto the floor To slide into the door To search the evening's core To scream you wanted more And I can't hear you through Your panoramic view Impossibility Split dichotomy And I once heard you say We're all made of moss and clay Heavy before noon But we'll be grounded soon When the pieces break below And you run crying from the snow Then the Earth will shed you this time once again (once again) When your mindless eye devours All incapable missed hours Were you just racing against time inside your head And when (You must) misspent days were running you (Be lost) What else were you gonna do (But at) But live the life that you once knew (What cost?) When the (You must) upturned clock was failing to (Be lost) Instruct you on how to move (But at) What else were you gonna do (What cost?) Cry for freedom Cry for freedom Across the desert streets you cry for freedom Cry for freedom Cry for freedom Across the desert streets you cry for freedom And when (You must) misspent days were running you (Be lost) What else were you gonna do (But at) But live the life that you once knew (What cost?) When the (You must) upturned clock was failing to (Be lost) Instruct you on how to move (But at) What else were you gonna do (What cost?) Cry for freedom Cry for freedom Across the desert streets you cry for freedom Cry for freedom Cry for freedom Across the desert streets you cry for freedom

I Am a working man Pencil in my hand Since I got back from lying off the cage I'm Burnin' outta time Cuz every piece of mind I've built Has got me rolling back the days Some'll say we're all the same Sliding up and down the chain Luggin' misfortune to gather in the rain Some say we wither as we blend into the night So hand yourself another line Try to hit it home in time One by one, it's together that we grind A new tomorrow while the sun is in our eyes (Chorus) But it's hard now lookin' up from Melody Road When the block has already been sold And you had to roll the dice to think about your life today Hard now ringin' in the Ring of Fire When you're comin' close to desire With the talk of how to lead your life I Wear down my cause In the name of God Since everything was falling off the page I Push back the thought That every path I walk Is built upon the stones of my own Age And with platitudes upon platitudes Spread the culture and sing the news Escape from everything, and pull your head inside Underneath a starry sky Build our hopes and passersby It's like with everything you come into a lie (Chorus) I was taught To not get caught By words and thoughts That have no meaning Past the thought Of you revealing All your life And I got a penny I wish it wasn't gone already Don't you think heady to walk along the road so heavy Only if you're steady to walk along the edge of night And make yourself believe Ignorance is pretty when dealin' with the nitty gritty Don't you think it's shitty to take it on into the city Like it's just a pity to make yourself a home and life And find you cannot leave And with platitudes upon platitudes Spread the culture and sing the news Escape from everything, and pull your head inside Underneath a starry sky Build our hopes and passersby It's like with everything you come into a lie (Chorus 2x)
