Meaningless Chaos
04:11

the sadness that your hearing
the trembling in my voice
a fear of fearlessness persists
as if i ever had a choice
another walk beside you
a vision crystal clear
awoken, broken as I find out
you were never even here
I can still see your face
As I wipe every perfect tear away
The longest nights make for longer days
I wouldn’t have it any other way
oh, can you hear me calling
screaming out your name
amid a din of fireworks
this meaningless chaos remains
forget the four leaf clovers
the sunsets in your eyes
try as I may I can’t forget you
not on your life
yeah, yeah!
I can still see your face
As I wipe every perfect tear away
The longest nights make for longer days
I wouldn’t have it any other way
And now i stand in silence
As oceans meet the sand
Your destination isn’t anywhere
That I can comprehend
I can still see your face
As I wipe every perfect tear away
The longest nights make for longer days
I wouldn’t have it any other way

take me out...
beyond the break...
of day…
with, without...
i’ll make a complete...
escape...my way…
(existence on a string)
breathe in, begin
(take the whole world in)
give into everything
and let the vast surrender carry you back...home...
let’s swim out...
amongst the stars...
alone...
and find us a place...
far from the gloam...
we’re home…again…
(existence on a string)
breathe in, begin
(take the whole world in)
give in to everything and let
the vast surrender carry you back…
(bridge)
home…
existence on a string
breathe in, begin
take the whole world in
give in to everything and let
the vast surrender carry you back…
home…

I left my head...somewhere else
and forgot just how to be myself
there’s nowhere else...i’d rather be
than 100 million light years away from me…
away from me…
far away from me…
you had your fill...i wanted more
it’s just as well....it’s how we live
so unadorned...yet here you stay
100 million light years away…
from finding my hope
from finding my peace
from making my way back home...to me….
there’s something with...the stars tonight
a solar beam...refracting light...
eight twenty here...and into space...
100 million light years away
from finding my hope
from finding my peace
from making my way back home...to me….
from finding my hope (finding my hope)
from finding my peace (finding my peace)
from making my way back home (making my way back home)...
…from finding me (finding me)….
100 million light years away.

i don't believe in superman, the pope, or presidents
i don't believe that all our hope like money has been spent
i don't believe in CEOs, the Fed, or CIA
self-serving sins will only help you on your way
i only...believe in love...
i don't believe the rich, the poor, or the middle class
i don't believe forgiveness when you never had to ask
i don't believe in television or in Hollywood
i don't believe in evil i don't believe in good
i only....believe in love...
i don't believe in all or none, without some give and take
i don't believe in looking back to relive past mistakes
i don't believe inactivism is the rage today
i don't believe in believing you never had a say
i only...believe in love...
i don't believe in secret handshakes or conspiracies
i'd rather fail on my feet than live on my knees

Monument
03:46
|

a monument for all time
held its greatness in our hands
burned in effigy to spite us
razed and broken where it stands
offhand
fallacies
false soul searching
wastes our time
with no resolve
we watch it fall
into decline
a front-row seat to leave it all behind...
a monument built to our plans
left on a blood-soaked floor
ghosts of those who've gone before us
shame we never did much more
to end this cold war
soul numbing
mass tragedies
that beat us down
into a state
of active hate
an upside down
and as we fall your thoughts and prayers abound...
nameless/faceless
eyes in the crowd staredown
a falling, our calling
this will be
a monument to all love…

Desperate Days
04:17
|

stood outside myself for way too long
took a wrong turn, headed back home
it’s these desperate days, that we run from
looking backward, rushing headlong
barely holding on...
let go of the reins...to find a phantom pain
as new modes of pretext...will give it all away
lies based on truth’s distrust
no self, just self-destruct
digressed through designed fear
it’s more fun to disappear
bleeding out and feeling nothing wrong
a broken will remaining headstrong
it’s these desperate days, that we run from
on our knees, a lapsed salvation
barely holding on...
another loss of faith...can never be erased
another grifter laying blame...to put us in our place
lies based on truth’s distrust
no self, just self-disgust
digressed through designed fear
it’s more fun to disappear
(surrender)
personal truth...never calls for proof
coded allusions...breed disillusion
lies based on truth’s distrust
no self, just self-destruct
digressed by designed fear
it’s more fun to disappear

Invisible
07:04

oh no
i’m in trouble
her hair is down, she doesn’t know i’m here
eyes of
an angel
she thinks she sees straight through my intentions
oh no
i’m in trouble
in this moment of insignificance
she sits and stares
it’s as if she thinks me invisible
i see skies in eyes so blue
they seem to go on forever
don’t mind life when i’m with you
you found a way to make it better
oh no
i’m in trouble
she’s got my heart in her hands and she’s wringing
she knows
that i’m dying
but she takes my last breath away in ecstasy
oh no
i’m in trouble
i had my chance now it seems i have settled
on what could be's
when she's all that i've been waiting for
i see skies in eyes so blue
they seem to go on forever
don’t mind life when i’m with you
you find a way to make it better
falling in and out won’t do
i need the act and the words to matter
i see the world when i see you
but i’m invisible...

inhale
this vastness in a vacuum
take in
the oblivion of it all
one last dance
with all we could become
complacency abounds as we
grow weary with the parts
we choose to play
ill-starred, embattled we have come
to a point where nothing fair is won
a fate cast like god’s dice we are hurled
to push back the wicked in this world
we're born
into a world of privilege
firmly on the backs of all
who ever came before
as others
risk life and love to get here
denied by hate
and the same mistakes
that we're destined to repeat along the way
ill-starred, embattled we have come
to a point where nothing fair is won
a fate cast, like god’s dice we are hurled
to dance through the pain found in this world
(in this world)
ill-starred, embattled we have come
to a point where nothing fair is won
a fate cast like god’s dice we are hurled
to rise above the evil in this world
in this world...

no more I told you so’s
no more I dare you’s
there is no shelter here
nowhere to disappear
nowhere!
propped up against a wall
the lost, the weak
we’ll break them all
is this not what you asked for?
are you not entertained?!?!
call in the fire brigade
we’ve fanned the flames of disarray
now the bombs are dropping down
all around...all around...all around…
it’s all a perverse passion play
in our country of ghost towns….
our country of ghost towns...
there are no more lefts or rights
just the
big idea that dumb & loud is right
this demo-idiocracy
will it be the end of you and me?
call in the fire brigade
we’ve fanned the flames of disarray
now the bombs are dropping down
all around...all around...all around…
it’s all a perverse passion play
in our country of ghost towns….
our country of ghost towns…

Smile Empty Soul
04:35
|

|
the sky’s on fire
the fear is real tonight
we choke on smoke
they dine by candlelight
you've been left behind
still, thoughts escape
on sold pipedreams
whitewashed in lies and hate
we gotta take it back
they won’t give it up
smile, empty soul, for me
and say “i’m here for you”
smile wide to hide the lies behind your eyes
and damn the truth
damn the truth
a gold plate con
with nothing new to sell
he bait-and-switched
his own way out of hell
but it lifts you up
this thin-skinned act
you paid the freight
on what you can’t give back
the new normal now
he'll never give it up…
smile, empty soul, for me
and say “i’m doing this for you”…
smile wide to hide the lies behind your eyes
now what you gonna do?
(that’s right, we’re here for you…)
people taking to the streets
when freedom is the only thing to lose
damn the truth
blood runs knee-deep in the street
with freedom ceased
there's nothing else to choose
damn the truth
goddamn, it's you

wave good-bye
to the life
you thought you had waiting there
for you
time to put away these reckless
games of youth
all we see
are the roads behind us
littered with regret
and a truth that lies somewhere
out there
off around
the bend
do you mind if i see?
mind if i found my way back
into your arms again?
do you mind if i play?
or would you rather i stay away
from the heartless....?
golden hue
refracts in waves
broken, dimmed on the ocean floor
what’s been denied so long
is the one thing i adore
she calls out to me
in a siren song, she
takes my very best
while the wars inside my heart
can’t set my soul to rest
no
do you mind if i see?
would you mind if i found my way back
into your arms again?
do you mind if i play?
would you i rather i stay away
from the heartless....?
so take me
and break my
heart in two
it’s what you do
