Echo

Slam on the breaks
If this is all you can take
Or we can drink until it's gone
As the night goes on and on
So let's spill all the hate
And the memories we can't shake
Or we can drink until they're gone
But it just goes on and on
Why did you let me go?
Why did you have to go?
You died so long ago, it seems
Why did you have to go?
When they ripped you apart
It broke my heart
I'm still here but you're gone
And it just goes on and on and on and on and on

Jettison

Jettison yourself
The world crumbles all around
No room for liars
Set yourself on fire, Ablaze!
Jettison your hope
'Cause this ship is going down
Even though it's on fire
It doesn't inspire a change
You show no concern
As you watch what you've built burn
Will you ever learn
As you watch what you've built burn?
Abandon your lust
And your padded bust
As you succeed
Others concede to die
Abandon your trust
All money turns to dust
Nothing really matters
As it falls and shatters before your eyes

Complicating Matters
03:16

|

And you're complicating matters
Further than they already are.
Driving so fast, but are we really
Getting that far?
Complicating and exasperating
Is what you are.
Burned and bleeding, healed without cleaning
This wound forms a scar.
It forms a scar
(Do you think that we have gone too far?)
Knocked to the ground
Take a look around
No one to be found
Without reason, change of season
Homeward bound.
A predator in waiting, sitting and anticipating
Without sound.
Head beneath the water,
This surface getting hotter,
I'm holding you down.
I'm holding you down.
(Do you think that we have gone too far?)

Wrong

It's so dark in here. It's the outside world I fear.
From my eye falls a tear. For everything I hold dear.
I look into the mirror. I can see myself clear.
I hate whom I see and I see whom I hate
There's nothing I can do it's too late
Can't fight what I feel and I feel this is right
I just can't call you tonight.
And I know I was wrong
So I turn you away
It's not you, you just can't stay
So now you're gone and I know I was wrong
And all I'm left with is this song
And I know I was wrong

Snakes and Ladders
02:45
|
|

Could you at least pretend to break or bend.
Or does this satisfy you, the unsatisfied me?
And when my thoughts collide.
They burn me from inside
And they rip right through me
The same way I rip through you.
Give and take, bend, don't break
Don't cry, I will die for you
Snakes and ladders, riches and tatters
I won't lie, I will try for you
Do you think that you could take me for a fool.
But for a fool that loves you with everything in me?
And do you think you could stand to take me as I am.
With my heart on my sleeve, guts in my hands?
We will hold it together with rubber bands

Black Sand

The sun is too hot can we put it out?
The farmers are starving from years of drought.
How long will it take us to figure out?
The man in the suit plants the seeds of doubt.
As the gulf weeps softly, we turn away
The past repeating, the tightrope frays
The darkness pours in and fills your lungs
The lies, they kill us. The truth it stung.
When it's in your eyes, how are you going to see?
When it's in your mouth, how are you going to breathe?
If you've bought the truth, it won't set you free.
Now take this stand.
Take it with me.
All of the lies, we won't believe.
Like babies born on Christmas Eve,
Explain what we can't conceive.
If we're so far in, then which way is out?
We are the people, we have no clout
How long will it take us to figure out
The man with the noose takes a drink and shouts:
"Do not go softly! Don't turn away!
If you're heart's beating let me hear you say
When the darkness pours in and fills your lungs
They will to kill us, their will be done!"
Why can't you see that the important thing
Is not your greed, but need?

Another World
02:50
|
|

|
Staring into the silence, the violence that this is
I ask you, but you decline, and I insist
Indisposed, I repose, don't dispose of me.
I once was blind but now, I still can't see.
Do you think we could exist somewhere in another world?
Everything has stopped
And the bombshell has been dropped.
The violence it ends in silence and it doesn't bother me.
And the pain inside it hurts so much,
It hurts, I will concede.
You stare into my eyes and watch me bleed.

Capsize to Baptize

Here it comes. Oblivion.
The more you give, the more you have to take.
But before you go, you should know:
The less you live, the less you have to say.
So take this pill, give up your will.
'Cause the less you know, the less you'll have to show.
Don't give it all away. You are the price you pay.
You're giving it
(Tape your mouth)
All away
(Resign yourself)
All away
Preach as if you're wise, tell yourself lies.
The less you know, the less you have to show
So take this pill, give up your will.
The more you know, they'll never let you go.
All the people under the steeple
Are worshiping a man but all men are equal

This Old Crow
03:25
|
|
||
|
I don't know what to say
'Cause you don't know how to change
And you can't be angry with me
If I don't care
Stabbed in the back with a knife
It's not a big enough difference
From being dead
I flick my cigarette twice and as the ash falls
The solution from the voice inside your head
From the voice inside that's dead
I don't know who to blame
For this old crow scratching at my face
And you won't mind, old friend of mine
If I don't care

The Mutiny
04:30
|
|
||
|
The sky it darkens and the lights grow dim
I throw my fist up and the war begins
Good it turns to evil
We have come to cut the strings from the puppet.
This is what happens when the free market is freer than the people
This is the great upheavel
We will be the mutiny
We will fight with all our might
Take these wrongs and make them right
