Oh God, I do it all again.
Oh God, I worry you're not my friend.
Your headlights blind me, I need but a spark,
my eyes already used to the dark.
I tried to swallow the gist of your song,
but the salt from it's cries is biting my tongue.
Why gift me mind to deny the divine?
Quit building tension if there's no punch line.
Oh God, Oh God, I pray, I call,
I need to understand it all.
My feet are bleeding, I've walked for so long.
The road before me unravels like a tongue.
Some say it's a yes, some say it's a no,
some say don't ask, better not to know.
I hear your tires grinding the tar,
I eye your hot metal menacing from afar.
Some say I'll fly, some say I will fall,
some say I'll blow up, my head will roll...
I'll fly
I'll fall
I'll fly
Oh God, it's you,
I see you now…
Oh God, Oh God, I pray, I call,
I need to understand it all.
Is it my fall I'm trying to remain
somewhat sane?
Oh God, Oh God, I pray, I call,
I need to understand it all.
Is it my fall I'm trying to remain
competently sane?

Infinity Halt
03:37
|

The world's upside down,
we've never been this far far far far.
Fire to fuel
and listen to the wheels grind the tar.
Oh my love,
the clocks go slower
the faster we run run run.
We just need
a little moment,
so shoot like a gun gun gun.
It's gonna be a long drive,
turn up the stereo!
It's gonna be a long drive,
turn up the stereo!
Hold me close, never let me go.
Hold me close, never let me go.
Honey let's go light speed
until infinity halt.
All at once
and not a single moment to spare.
Swipe through the timeline,
the world is standing still,
we've everywhere.
Oh my love,
the clocks go slower
the faster we run run run.
If forever
is a nightmare of a concept,
I know we can make it fun.

Time
03:55

Darling I would
be so inclined,
I'd lose my mind
but I ain't got time.
Don't you give me that look,
you are here too,
you ain't got time,
time has got you.
If I have a heavy heart
with worries of my own
you come
and are the shore
to my storm again.
The wonders are easy to see,
but the logic is hard to trust.
And I’m about to give in
and it's about time,
help me understand.
If everything makes perfect sense
it is just not for us to see,
but between the seconds
there are hours we are given.
All of this technology baby
is yet unable to measure the truth.
But you could take my time
and be forgiven.
Go ahead, you can take it,
you can take it, you can take it.
Oh, I can take it,
I can take it all, I can take it too.
Oh, I can take it,
I can take it all, I can take it.
Don't you let the time, time, my time
have one up on you.

Good luck
selling your soul,
there is not a single bidder.
The world
has simply moved on,
no devils to consider.
Oh, how sweet
it would be
to turn back the time,
to that perfect song
with the perfect rhyme,
to a picture so
familiar
you could swear it feels like home.
I look in your eyes and then,
though I've never met you,
you make me miss the days I've never known.
Your eyes again...
I've never met you, but I'm
nostalgic for the past that's not my own.
When thoughts
dissolve in a haze
in warm embrace of silence,
I'd loose lose
a couple of days
burning cheeks for the televised violence.
I go back
to turning
back the time,
with a perfect love
and the perfect crime,
to the stories so
familiar
I could swear they're true.

The Odds
03:11
|

You look like you could use a drink.
Silence’s a cheat,
don't let it sing.
Don't let it tell you what to think,
don't let it fool you
that all of the odds
are stacked against you.
When all of your notions crack in the middle,
all of your guesses vex you a little,
think of the odds,
how out of the ordinary
we are here at all.
All of the fights, all the rights, all the riddles,
we are stuck in here,
in this design,
we could
see what it can do.
Times we've been odd to one another...
oh, how rare
a gift you are.
Oh, I know we're not always easy with each other,
but come on,
it’s worked this far.
All of you notions crack in the middle,
all of your guesses may vex me a little,
but given the odds,
how out of the ordinary
we are here at all.
All of the fights, all the rights, all the riddles,
I am stuck in here,
in this design
with you.
Let's see what it can do.

Houses Of Glass
05:43
|

What matters is I know I'm right.
Not a big deal to tell the good and the bad apart.
Born into this code unified.
Deep down inside I know I'm right.
Houses and houses, and houses of glass,
time in arrest, bodies first class.
Houses on houses, on houses of glass,
bulletproof coffins with fossils of us.
To peak in, to look, oh, such a faux pas.
Can't sneak inside, no, don't even try.
I look through the window and what do I see?
Everything around is out to get me.
I look around and what do I see?
Everything around me reminds me of me.
Built in my likeness, built in my name.
I am safe, I'm a god of the same.
The glass in my chest beats with parental care,
my heart is transparent for all who are there.
In the depths of the branches of my family tree,
my seed has a purpose, a reason to be.
What matters is I know I'm right.
Not a big deal to tell the good and the bad apart.
Born into this code unified.
Deep down inside I know I'm right.
Houses on houses and houses of glass.
Those who stand last, they write the past
and the land where I stand is my birthright to keep -
here's a paper with a stamp to put all doubts to sleep.
No fear my dear, it's where I belong.
No need to learn words to a foreign song.
In the depths of the branches of my family tree,
oh, finally, a reason to be.

Understand Me
04:33
|

Understand me,
don't let go
’til a familiar light
starts to show.
The seeds we sow...
we're here to face our acts,
we're here to face the facts...
Which one of your faces is that?
which one of my facts is cold?
Understand me!
Understand me,
don't let go.
Breathe...
breathe in and out...
if it's as simple as that
maybe we're as simple as that?
Between your errands and your ghosts,
between your yeses and your nos,
I'm at the bottom,
understand me,
I'm new to this too.
I've been made conscious
just to witness
my own
doom.
Oh, this burning fever
to get back at you...
but would it...
would it hurt, my love?
Oh, this burning fever
to get back...
talk to me in simple words,
talk to me, don’t spare the words,
I beg you...
Understand me!

Mother
07:37
|

Most days are easy,
I'm hiding under
the spells of
lights, the lights, the lights
in stereo.
But some days
my thoughts get busy,
they hit like thunder,
a thunder
my skull can barely hold.
No matter where I look,
no matter how I move,
the perspective never shifts, I'm in 2D.
I am
hiding under
the spells of lights in stereo.
Keep me
from the thunder,
a storm my heart can barely hold.
If I could learn
to get ahead,
to be the driver
of my own head.
My body does
what my body do,
it knows what it knows,
but oh, no, no,
none of it is true.
Oh mother,
Oh mother,
how much of me is you?
Oh mother,
Oh mother,
how much of me is you?
Now,
most days are easy,
I'm falling under
the spells of
work, the work, the work,
the work that goes on.
How to
keep up with living,
when all my senses
conspire
to twist what's right or wrong?

Life Is On Television
03:35
|

City lights...
holding my thoughts in bliss together...
On and off...
open my eyes, it is forever...
Now is the only time...
go run in circles
through
the lights,
the lights,
the la la lights and
the lies,
the lies and
life is on television
I have found.
The life
the la la life is
nothing that happens to me
I walk on ground.
The truth, they say,
will get you,
holds the answers,
only but a few
are meant for you.

Skull Echo
02:54
|

I know you've said it just to cool me,
but my senseless senses,
oh, how they fool me.
I'm drowning in pavement,
every step more certain,
I'm walking home to you.
But if we're all blind
can we deduce our blindness?
Wouldn't it be a certain kind of kindness,
to leave us oblivious to the madness
of knowing all the truth?
Why don't you stay a little while?
The world is only catching fire.
Prospects have never been so dire,
yet the new light
will bring horizon to our feet.
Millions of light years into my own
I’m locked in a narrow capsule of a bone
and with two radars in the front I see a tiny dot of you
shining from afar.
My radars strain, adjusting lenses,
The hope is flooding all my senses
and just to glimpse the form of you I'd give up my pretenses
of knowing what we are.
Why don't you stay a little while?
The world is going out in style,
but there must be yet another call
before the new light,
when the horizon melts us all.
Darling,
sometimes it gets so dull,
listening to echoes in my skull,
come and be you, come be the new,
come be the element
I couldn't possibly invent.
