Intro 01:10
2.
Distract us with a smoky reflection, not this time A movement in another direction, not this blind Put one foot in front of the other, would you please stand aside Shield your eyes from the flash in the distance, it’ll keep us alive Until we meet our demise Another word to the wise No pushing or shoving It’s two or three minutes to midnight, fear them all… We bury our heads in the hindsight, hit us with no warning at all… They will do anything to drive away your will (drive away your will) Everyday it’s on display, don’t know how to feel I realize it’s no surprise, no other way to show But out the gate it’s much too late, no other way to go

Whatever 04:21
That’s how it goes, this life I chose surrounds me We plead for another chance to take, while we’re wide awake, astounding Then they laugh and point at you, your point of view, your path [Never had to run until you had to jump the gun] Well I don’t know, and I won’t show, you’ll never know! Because it’s dead to you, but was it ever really alive Whatever, they will see you walk away after kick us in the side It struck me odd that you say that it’s better this way, in your eyes Whatever they will feed you ought to consider that you’re only here for a while…abruptly It cuts too deep, a price too steep, abandon It leaves no other choice to make, all these steps we take to plan them Everything that follows you, it swallows you so fast [A will without a way will never see the light of day] Well I don’t mind, you’ll never find a better time! But it’s dead to you, but was it ever really alive Whatever, they will see you walk away after kicking us in the side Struck me odd that you say that it’s better this way, and you’re right Whatever they will feed you ought to consider that you’re only here for a while And now it’s dead to you, but was it ever really alive Whatever, they will see you walk away after kicking us in the side Struck me odd that you say that it’s better this way, but you’re right!!! Whatever they will feed you ought to consider that you’re only here for a while

Unseen 03:03
There are some things that just can't be unseen, not fair at all It leads me to think that we should never blink, not there at all This creature of habit is weaker than average in a way But try not to focus, it's dire but not hopeless like they say   We should have done better Shouldn't we just go home? Trying to make the effort To shine like we were shone Alone...alone...   We learn when they live and return what they give, not far to throw We swim through the madness, my goodness the badness, to and 'fro A simple disaster, a cynical bastard, wet and cold The forces unseen are the sources that mean to take their toll   We should have done better Shouldn't we just go home Wasn't it worth the effort To shine like we were shone Unknown...unknown...unknown...unknown!!!

That just will not fly Yet still we will try Sets us apart Not yet set in stone I don't mean to raise my voice, something has pulled back the curtain And now it's not a choice, not a dream, that much is certain And now it's on the line, surely we can sense the danger But it don't fit the crime, happens when we talk to strangers   Talk to strangers!   That just will not fly Yet still we will try Sets us apart Not yet set in stone   I don't mean to raise my voice, something has pulled back the curtain And now it's not a choice, not a dream, that much is certain And now we're out of line, surely we can sense the danger But it don't fit the crime, happens when we talk to strangers   Give it up, it's not enough to receive You know we're gonna mess it up, best believe It's not enough to give it up, just receive I don't mean to raise my voice, something has pulled back the curtain And now it's not a choice, not a dream, that much is certain And now we're out of line, surely we can sense the danger But it don't fit the crime, it happens when we talk to strangers (2x) I try to be polite, not like they can tell the difference! If I may, if I might, wish this from my sight, don't listen! You don't want in this mind, another classic work of fiction! Integrate, misalign, warm my heart from all the friction!

If I sit here enough, and bide my time and wonder why, it hits me A clever approach, puts it into the ground Is it ever enough to get behind an understated mercy Degenerate mind, deliberately blind How can we turn this around? How can you lose what is found? Can you picture it now, undeserving, unaware, awaken Surely a way to detach from the ground Given the way we come together all the same, but different A peace of mind, one piece at a time How can we learn not to drown? How can you refuse what is sound? Then we go through the motions forever, even though it's at a distance A private devotion, just set in our ways, on a path of least resistance I think the laugh will be held against us Then we go through the motions forever, even though it's at a distance A private devotion, just set in our ways, on a path of least resistance I think the laugh will be held against us Can we even grasp what this presents us? On this path of least resistance

Hurry 03:31
Wretched assignment, perfect timing, have me mistaken for somebody else So open-minded, yet closed-fisted, and we insist we're like nobody else They get behind me, and try to define me, should be a crime, I guess I'll leave it alone They take a number, and push me under, and if you wonder, guess I'll go it alone Better leave it alone!!! Well I know that I don't wanna hurry 'Cause you know it's gonna make it here fast We're onto something, you need not worry 'Cause you know that the system won't last 'Cause you know it's come to past You got my attention, did not mention, not my intention to reveal or imply A false assumption, draws dysfunction, taught at a younger age, it doesn't apply I'll feel much safer, a piece of paper, so many layers, guess I'll be okay They try to earn them, they try to burn them, don't try to learn, it's best to just walk away... Better run away!!! Well I know that I don't wanna hurry 'Cause you know it's gonna make it here fast We're onto something, you need not worry 'Cause you know that the system won't last 'Cause you know it's come to past Well I know that I don't wanna hurry 'Cause you know it's gonna make it here fast We're onto something, you need not worry 'Cause you know that the system won't last 'Cause you know it's come to past 'Cause you know it's come to past 'Cause you know it's come to past 'Cause you know that shit won't last!

Who You Are 03:12
Feed the need to be absurd Need to bleed, indeed perturbed Finding a way to finally see, the kind of sign to receive Find a way, in time reprieve Fill the shoes… Still refuse…   In your state of demotion, illogical to cede emotion When you don’t know who you are…it’s up to you!   The mind is made in shades of grey Find the fade, in time decay A myriad of the ways to suffer, the suffrage kept at bay Find a way, in time repay Fill the shoes…Still refuse…   In your state of emotion, illogical to cede emotion When you don’t know who you are…it’s up to you!

Squawk 04:13
Something hurts Make up words Lend one, too Send me through   I see no reason to feel the fall I see no reason, no reason at all Nail me in or fail to pass ‘Cause in the end it’s meant to last Share the pain Barely blame Break the curse Fake the worse I see no reason to feel the fall I see no reason, no reason at all Nail me in or fail to pass ‘Cause in the end it’s meant to last

Hungry Lung 04:13
Gotta go, gotta grow, gotta get away, in need of assistance Do it now, make us proud, live another day, none of your business Begin to think that this could be the end of me, we’ll see what happens And then a friend turned me into an enemy; we see who’s laughing   Head down, chin up! Let down, get up!   Lotta fun, gotta run, gotta slip away, in case you need me Never there, never care, never unaware, and so it leads me Out of love, pull the rug right from under me, I saw it coming Heads or tails, never fails, let it get to me, was all for nothing Head down, chin up! Let down, get up! Not one to complain, and so it remains…again And even though it’s insane that we are one in the same, in the end Would it hurt anyone to call it like it is Call it like it is!   Gotta go, gotta grow, gotta get away, in case you need me Do it now, make us proud, live another day, and so it leads me Begin to think that this could be the end of me, I saw it coming But then a friend turned me into an enemy, it was all for nothing Head down, chin up! Let down, get up! Not one to complain, and so it remains…again And even though it’s insane that we are one in the same, in the end Would it hurt anyone to call it like it is Call it like it is!

Remembrance 04:39
A different path one has to take, leaving part of themselves in the wake Can’t do the math, it’s hard to shake, hardly swallowing down their fate Remembrance, relive the haste, it is all that’s left to do in this case Never forgot, the wrong was wrought A thought I never shall, I don’t know how to embrace A different time, a different rhyme, I hope the bitterness will subside Beyond my mind, respond in kind, as I try to wipe away any sign A perfect shot, an imperfect plot, in urgency an utter disgrace Belligerence and ignorance, a thought I never shall, I don’t know how to embrace If need be, just take control It seems to me that it touches the soul It leads me further down the hole I don’t know I got to this place, no I don’t know how I got to this place If you wipe away all the dust and grey, corrosion of familiar strings Give away, dispose, in a way impose, the circumstance and chance that it brings Remembrance, relive the haste, it’s all that’s left to do in this case Never forgot, the wrong was wrought A thought I ever shall, I don’t know how to embrace If need be, just take control It seems to me that it touches the soul It leads me further down the hole, I don’t know how I’ve come to this place, no I don’t know how I’ve come to this place Is it wrong to question the road that’s paved It’s a question I will take to my grave Just as long as the rest will fall in place It is a thought I never shall, I don’t know how to embrace
