Running i started running it seems i’ll never quit just trying to find a way to get away from it i live in these mountains i still can smell the sea what on this earth would it take to bring you back to me i started singing a pallid kind of blues how this life will go for us we seem to think we choose i live in these mountains i still can smell the sea what on this earth would it take to bring you back to me i started sitting and tried to calm my mind but every time i stand back up more trouble’s what i find i live in these mountains i still can smell the sea what on this earth would it take to bring you back to me

Elixir 02:43
lyrics

Elixir just one potion in the evening grounds his gleaming bayonet whose the blood that soaks the carpet it’s not been decided yet he has his own prime elixir one that clamps him from the scream then the neck cords finally soften edges blurring into dream feel the pressure that arises pounding from the urgent lack what could even soothe the chaos poison winks i got your back he can’t win against the throbbing air raid siren blots his mind too dark down the stifling cellar for his lamp to ever find feel the pressure that arises pounding from the urgent lack what could even soothe the chaos poison winks i got your back he points mute at what’s been wounded then he turns and backs away clutching for the void dispenser curtains on another day feel the pressure that arises pounding from the urgent lack what could even soothe the chaos poison winks i got your back

Looking In 03:39
lyrics

Looking In read the news sure looks bad seems like our fate grows ironclad watched the film it brought quick tears so much courage to take on our fears i’m on the outside hey looking in waiting for an eden here to begin i’m on the outside hey looking in waiting for a savior to show up again so much rage so much greed some get license dark egos freed we’re on the border no end in sight pay off the winners ignore what’s right i’m on the outside hey looking in waiting for an eden here to begin i’m on the outside hey looking in waiting for a savior to show up again heard the news sure sounds bad being an earthling bound to drive you mad heart that feels spirit yearns but we’re all fighting as the building burns i’m on the outside hey looking in waiting for an eden here to begin i’m on the outside hey looking in waiting for a savior to show up again

Capital Will Kill You capital will kill you without a second glance there is just the bottom line some bank books to enhance capital will kill you and justify your death you must buy and labor cheap pay toll for every breath we’re prey to a virus that we can’t see or smell breaking everything apart to pile up stuff to sell capital will kill you destruction without care there is just one master here who’s squeezing everywhere chorus tearing up the habitat when there’s no planet b capital gonna wreck it all for death cult liberty capital will kill you the human race exposed flailing on the precipice the case so close to closed we’re prey to a virus that we can’t see or smell breaking everything apart to pile up stuff to sell

It Should Be Forever it should be forever of course it’s not like that we talk like we know we’ll go the pretense falls so flat something’s wrong and that’s not right it should break my way something’s wrong and that’s not right this ghostly realm at play it should be forever so cruel to strand us here all our lives we look away just blocking out the fear something’s wrong and that’s not right it should break my way something’s wrong and that’s not right this ghostly realm at play it should be forever i’d smack him side the head it’s too much to handle now the once alive are dead something’s wrong and that’s not right it should break my way something’s wrong and that’s not right this ghostly realm at play 2X

Grief Is the Price grief is the price we pay for love vibrant heart in a tattered glove faith is the way we distance fear ablaze til we’re tossed out of here not a trophy big success a peaceful kind of happiness finally home - grown calm inside though spirit and the flesh divide grief is the price we pay for love vanquished heart in a tattered glove all entwining’s gotta lead to loss bent beneath our albatross not a trophy big success a peaceful kind of happiness finally home - grown calm inside though spirit and the flesh divide grief is the price we pay for love valiant heart in a tattered glove yes there’ll be such a precious cost but minus love you know we’re lost not a trophy big success a peaceful kind of happiness finally home - grown calm inside though spirit and the flesh divide

Mad i am angry parts are failing i am mad that life will end such a turbulent adventure darkness waiting round the bend it’s so stupid that i’m angry i go there to not feel sad but of course we all are helpless figment god that drives me mad here’s another day in heaven or another day in hell which direction will you follow grinding gears don’t serve us well i am angry at the family no one there i’d call a friend so much clever defamation so much ego to defend i forget when i get busy then i can escape my mind grooving on the cosmic rhythms slipping from this mortal bind here’s another day in heaven or another day in hell which direction will you follow grinding gears don’t serve us well

Toddler on the Throne you’ve got quite a hustle your cover’s seldom blown such a shifting bag of tricks a toddler on the throne sharp coyote works the crowd scoffs inside all alone you can charm the suckers blind a toddler on the throne no one to arrest you your shuffle way too quick losing more with every win deep fractured spirit sick mirrors on your surface the murky depths unknown all those tantrums seem to work a toddler on the throne no one to arrest you your shuffle way too quick losing more with every win deep fractured spirit sick you know how you’ll fool them to sleight of hand you’re prone who can really call your bluff a toddler on the throne no one to arrest you your shuffle way too quick losing more with every win deep fractured spirit sick

I Am Waiting i am waiting on the end i am waiting for it all to mend i am waiting on the judgment day i am waiting til we fly away we sit in the garden and then we call her name i have seen a burning bush and perished in the flame i am waiting on a brand new start i am waiting for a phoenix heart i am awaiting on the jubilee i am waiting til they come find me we walk in the pasture snow falls from the sky we have felt so thankful here since we gave up on why i am waiting on the end i am waiting for it all to mend i am waiting on the judgment day i am waiting til we fly away we kneel in the silence until we hear the bell we have been so lost here since the first ones fell i am waiting on a brand new start i am waiting for a phoenix heart i am awaiting on the jubilee i am waiting til they come find me

Impossible 03:08

Impossible hope the great illusion but then what is despair we do best when we’re all in and yet don’t really care the future such a fiction the past a fleeting mist what is now eludes our grasp we clutch with empty fist truly we’re impossible yet somehow here we are figments of divine caprice brief fragments of a star i lay in the darkness just waiting on the dawn seems no point to take a breath and still we carry on truly we’re impossible yet somehow here we are figments of divine caprice brief fragments of a star steering through the perils all strangers in the crowd everything’s a miracle we bow and praise aloud truly we’re impossible yet somehow here we are figments of divine caprice brief fragments of a star
