Emoting 03:23
Emoting When I think it dawns on me what i know is all i keep several years of silence gleam next to bricks of worthless speech and I intend to wait again for the spark inside of me that signals me to feel again feel the silent part of me and I wait I long to know myself emoting they wrote of me thirsty years of lacking strength barely there for me to see confidence in time alone reassured by older me and I intend to wait alone for the spark inside of me that signals me to feel again feel the silent part of me and I wait I long to know myself emoting they wrote of me here is but a memory not for me to understand time could wrap me up likewise find the sum of me here... alive

Breaking the Stone As he grows the boundaries of his knowledge shape his views and choose their prey time slides by but nothing he can grab onto will keep him anchored down I need to release myself and make a me with new eyes that see the waste why he paints his life this way, he may never find out for it's too late I release myself from this cold now bound for me and I try breaking the stone while I teach myself about which path's best for me still i try breaking the stone babies eyes, a heart of hopes and dreams i know I'll die if unfulfilled desperate cries, announcing all my secrets to the souls who came inside I dream of packaging myself and offering to the world what's left in me please, I need my life this way don't attempt to engage me in some change I release myself from this cold now bound for me and I try breaking the stone while I teach myself about which path's best for me still i try breaking the stone please, I need my life this way

Darkwater 03:25
There is a spot unfilled there is a half seasoned mind that won't forget there is a blink of hope there is a sense of compunction that calls me home I feel the same old lines that I drew before and that I can't concentrate now, for fear I'll die Is there an ignorant head so I can cope with mine? although the lives of me would still be gone Part of me finds some comfort in believing that finally I'll reach the land Don't fall down tonight and keep your thoughts with me I'm betting on pain tonight and so I ought to bleed We have the curse of life an animated freedom to change its course it hurts to wonder why and we don't need to make do or feel obliged I sing the same old words that I sang before because the things that upend me will never die I hate to think about failure so soon in my life but it's not wise to believe I'll be alright

People 03:17
I know the feeling of time it's independent of minds i got stuck in the world And we don't mean a thing we're such a minuscule thing we got stuck in the world I understand the nature of why we all feel bad we got stuck in the world we weren't made to be contained that result seems great and this i know that there's no god who claims the physical world and if you think that there's a plan for us you really haven't learned too much of anything i have to laugh i have to scream I have to learn a couple things about love I must believe only what appears true as opposed to thinking anything let's all poke around here deeper into parts we can't go let's all poke around here deeper into parts we don't know and so you hold weakness in your hand I let go the only merit is truth it's only honored by proof so complex is the world there's plenty there to see i use to fascinate me since i'm stuck in the world I find it hard to smile at people who don't understand that they're just part of the world we're products of the facts of time not results He made and things are hard I realize that there's no heaven or hell of course some people can't just live their lives and go out proud that someone's better off now that you're dead your thoughts are gone and everything you ever knew is now lost cells start to die organisms come to feed and live and die some other day let's all poke around here deeper into parts we can't go let's all poke around here deeper into parts we don't know and so you hold weakness in your hand I let go try me I know what I see try me I know what I see (try me I know.. I see) try me I know what I see (try me I know.. I see) try me I know what I see I know what I see it lives inside me I know what I see it lives inside me

Moon 04:08
As they're leaning towards mastering their eyes, opening their ears into our lives ...that's a bit wrong you seem afraid of our right When the doomsday calls will we part our lives? will we break down hard and last one night? would you dare to breed child? I can't imagine their time I even recommend dying to you I should stay one, too I should take all that's left behind I should stay one, too I could be all I want and die Now we've seen our end had a taste of hell gave the kiss of death to kiss and tell you don't know what we are go and learn the trade of cheap lies we should leave our home we should face your dark we must throw down lives to make our mark -a mark of life and not waste no, I used to carry this face I'll miss the intimate race to you I should stay one, too I should take all that's left behind I should stay one, too I could be all I want and die we die living for what cause, do we remember?

Green 02:47
this type of thought will stalk you home. can't help but wonder… god forbid you know. some breed of thoughtless malts we are. compared with nothing… still not much at all. anything at all I meet with doubt will be a treat in time, like a surprise. so you think god just reads your thoughts? well he leaves me to mine, my doubting mind. these neatly crafted lives we find... though mine holds nothing, something needs to go. how can god be, when I'm so bored? our purpose construct, not external law. anything at all I meet with doubt will be a treat in time, like a surprise. so you think god just reads your thoughts? well he leaves me to mine, my doubting mind.

spoke in tongues less has made sense since I wheeled around woken up makeshift metaphors for feeling doubt only one dead receptor's long lost lonely touch fully run spoon-fed drip feed reset courtesy crutch My shameful chunks all over the place Persistent past that bites hard hide, risk a loss of prominence I second guess myself useless hack hurts to be it hurts to feel alone purpose lacked stacks of thoughts, plans, promises, and goals swollen eyes cruel illusions, infiltrating spite sullen sighs exhale truth, watch reason leaving sight My shameful chunks all over the place Persistent past that bites hard hide, risk a loss of prominence I second guess myself

Pushed Away 04:31
Feel, feel for me because I can't Control, control yourself because I can't for reasons unbeknownst to me a penetrating nightmare shakes my heart and I'm cold Thoughts lay frozen under, not getting old Ghosts hold me down and slip me my fate I'm pushing through but fail to relate Hope flashes by but never will stay Whispers ignored as I'm pushed away Rain, rain is rushing to the ground now as if something would reward it there. But me, I just wait for it to end. I don't rush to anything. I'm well aware there's no reward for me. When cherished things and simple tricks that used to occupy me have died out, then I'm sold. Dreams lay frozen under, I'll never know The sum of these lives Brings no relief to me The will of my smile has gone depleting me I'm here in the dark I reach to touch a hand But mine passes through

A Time 03:17
Skip quick to now, the world is burning. I am at ease. the sudden spike in action brought me what I pleased And pricks of pain serve to remind me I'm awake And all to gain has now been spotted in my fate Your life's come un-synced with mine we're just dancing out of time turn this way and you will find, we're just dancing out of time Nerves tangled with in his mind we're just dancing out of time False perception bending signs we're just dancing out of time Sighs play a decent role it's just a driving force that you might find eyes sway and seem to roll it's just a driving force that you might find I think just the same the sun is setting a redness bleeds but not with love or honor; torn by a machine and all the strength and valor's left to be washed clean and all the lesser patrons seek someone to lead Your life's come un-synced with mine we're just dancing out of time turn this way and you will find, we're just dancing out of time Nerves tangled with in his mind we're just dancing out of time False perception bending signs we're just dancing out of time Sighs play a decent role it's just a driving force that you might find eyes sway and seem to roll it's just a driving force that you might find New lord under an old star new lord under an old star New world and still an old scar new lord and still an old war no life for you
