I reject both sides of what I'm being told
I've seen right through, now I watch how wild it gets
I finally achieve
Balance, balance, balance, balance
Approaching a delayed
Rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth
I'm positive there's no sense to what I'm being sold
Yet here I go, I watch how wild we get
Oh, can you taste your life?
Balanced, balanced, balanced, balanced
How will you spend your time?
Reborn, reborn, reborn, reborn
Climbing out of the ashes
Turning time inside out
We're miles beyond the sound
We'll start again
Taste a lifestyle that never gets old
Yet here we go
Just watch how wild it gets
I finally achieve
Balance, balance, balance, balance
Approaching a delayed
Rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth
Climbing out of the ashes
We're turning time inside out
We're floating off in the ether
We're miles beyond the sound
We're everywhere
No need to return
I'll show the way
We're everywhere
No need to return
I can show you where
No need to return
I can show you
Climbing out of the ashes
We're turning time inside out
Floating off in the ether
We're miles beyond the sound
Oh, can you taste your life?
Balanced, balanced, balanced
How will you spend your time?
Reborn

Ceremony
How can't you see
This is the end?
Let's face the truth
It's obvious
A different morning
The same charade
Tell me, what's left?
It's an illusion
Is it all an illusion?
Prep the surface
Bound my limbs
Place the chair beneath the rail
On the outside, just skin and bones
Show me what's left
It's an illusion
It's all an illusion
So I'm leaving you tonight
It's not fun here anymore
I'll be joining the parade
Of the ghosts who came before, before
Leaving you complete, no surprise
With one kiss, one caress
Oh
Oh
The world we shared (oh)
It was never there (oh)
I'm leaving you tonight
It's not fun here anymore
I'm joining the parade
Of the ghosts before
Leaving you complete for all time
With one kiss, one caress
Oh
This is the end?
Let's face the truth
It's obvious
A different morning
The same charade
Tell me, what's left?
It's an illusion
Is it all an illusion?
Prep the surface
Bound my limbs
Place the chair beneath the rail
On the outside, just skin and bones
Show me what's left
It's an illusion
It's all an illusion
So I'm leaving you tonight
It's not fun here anymore
I'll be joining the parade
Of the ghosts who came before, before
Leaving you complete, no surprise
With one kiss, one caress
Oh
Oh
The world we shared (oh)
It was never there (oh)
I'm leaving you tonight
It's not fun here anymore
I'm joining the parade
Of the ghosts before
Leaving you complete for all time
With one kiss, one caress
Oh

Urantia
I slipped into the cloak you left
I fiddle around in the ashtray
To find your cigarette pinkish red
I light it and take a drag
I swear
I'm losing it
With all these erased recordings, I'm rearranging parts
You should accept we'll probably remain this way to the end
In steps
Underneath the sheets I find your
Makeup and shoes in a bag laid open
Grab my keys and some money and circle around the lake
I guess
You're losing it
I like to believe that maybe you're a lot like me
Try using this equality, we might need in the air
'Cause there are no more left like you
A picture perfect strange
Imagined in one shape
Unchained
Tempt my spirit within my name
We crawled in the tomb and release some honey
Eighteen hundred million ways striving to make it last
There is no one left like you
A picture perfect strange
Imagined in one shape
Unchained
There are no more thrills I'll need
The desire that we shared
From the channels of our dreams
To the grave
Find you again somewhere, I believe
You'll find me somewhere again, I believe
I fiddle around in the ashtray
To find your cigarette pinkish red
I light it and take a drag
I swear
I'm losing it
With all these erased recordings, I'm rearranging parts
You should accept we'll probably remain this way to the end
In steps
Underneath the sheets I find your
Makeup and shoes in a bag laid open
Grab my keys and some money and circle around the lake
I guess
You're losing it
I like to believe that maybe you're a lot like me
Try using this equality, we might need in the air
'Cause there are no more left like you
A picture perfect strange
Imagined in one shape
Unchained
Tempt my spirit within my name
We crawled in the tomb and release some honey
Eighteen hundred million ways striving to make it last
There is no one left like you
A picture perfect strange
Imagined in one shape
Unchained
There are no more thrills I'll need
The desire that we shared
From the channels of our dreams
To the grave
Find you again somewhere, I believe
You'll find me somewhere again, I believe

Error
Tell me something
Have we escaped
Are we just lost?
The mirrors taunting
Us against the walls
We are running
Across the grid
Chasing honey
And closing in
We're bound together
In neon tape
I taste in your mouth
We hang upside down
We are gliding
Above the planes
Dripping honey
That prances through our veins
Beyond the gates
Outside the grid
We follow in your grace
Let's find a way through
Shiny candy
Glowing fruits
Drop from the trees
I watch the serpents
Writhe beneath
We are floating above the grid
Dripping honey
That's rushing through our veins
Beyond the gates
Outside the grid
We follow in your grace
But someday the clouds will break
And we'll all drift through
In lion's trance we'll all create some way through
Frozen in town sinking underground
I've thrown out fear, I've shouted these hymns
I kept drowning
Kept nothing
I kept trying
I kept floating
Have we escaped
Are we just lost?
The mirrors taunting
Us against the walls
We are running
Across the grid
Chasing honey
And closing in
We're bound together
In neon tape
I taste in your mouth
We hang upside down
We are gliding
Above the planes
Dripping honey
That prances through our veins
Beyond the gates
Outside the grid
We follow in your grace

And we'll all drift through
In lion's trance we'll all create some way through
Frozen in town sinking underground

I kept drowning
Kept nothing
I kept trying
I kept floating

The Spell of Mathematics
I drink the poison right from your hands
A sacred vow, it engulfs me
We slip and we slide and in time we create
A feeling of warmth inside of you
Holy and strict, six times a day
We will exchange our violent ways
But the beauty is when you touch me
I believe your love
Has placed its spell on me
And I believe your love
Is the only thing needed to survive
I believe your love
Creates this space where we can breathe
But I believe your love beholds this sacred key to life
The snakes come pouring out of your heart
Yeah, you know that I can't deny them
So I sink inside where we writhe and create
That feeling that pangs my time with you
We sway in the wind inside a haze
Yeah, you speak your language
What am I to say?
I'll just wait for your limbs to touch me
I believe your love
Has placed its spell on me
And I believe your love
Is the only thing needed to survive
I believe your love creates a space where we can breathe
I believe your love
Beholds the sacred key to life
A sacred vow, it engulfs me
We slip and we slide and in time we create
A feeling of warmth inside of you
Holy and strict, six times a day
We will exchange our violent ways
But the beauty is when you touch me
I believe your love
Has placed its spell on me
And I believe your love
Is the only thing needed to survive
I believe your love
Creates this space where we can breathe
But I believe your love beholds this sacred key to life
The snakes come pouring out of your heart
Yeah, you know that I can't deny them
So I sink inside where we writhe and create
That feeling that pangs my time with you
We sway in the wind inside a haze
Yeah, you speak your language
What am I to say?
I'll just wait for your limbs to touch me
I believe your love

Beholds the sacred key to life

Pompeji
Deep in the bottomless depths of the ocean
Empty bodies we sink
Open your eyes
You smile and release me
We slip down beneath and
Jesus Christ, you watch us fail
We raise our glasses and drink in hell
Locked in the core of the tower, I'm patient
In no hurry to leave
Life has been lonely, it might be forever
Making hard to believe in
Jesus Christ, we hold you to blame
You gave your life, but we died in vain
And ooh we drink from the fountain of intent
And ooh we choke on the water then repent
In the street, violent behavior
In chaos, where it's warm
Black omens call our cage
It's electric
So we signal, we wait for
Jesus Christ, God raised you as
We raised our glasses and drank in hell
Ooh we sip from the fountain of intent
And ooh we choke on the water then repent
Ooh we drink from the fountain of intent
Ooh we choke on the water then repent
Empty bodies we sink
Open your eyes
You smile and release me
We slip down beneath and
Jesus Christ, you watch us fail
We raise our glasses and drink in hell
Locked in the core of the tower, I'm patient
In no hurry to leave
Life has been lonely, it might be forever
Making hard to believe in
Jesus Christ, we hold you to blame
You gave your life, but we died in vain
And ooh we drink from the fountain of intent
And ooh we choke on the water then repent
In the street, violent behavior
In chaos, where it's warm
Black omens call our cage
It's electric
So we signal, we wait for
Jesus Christ, God raised you as
We raised our glasses and drank in hell
Ooh we sip from the fountain of intent
And ooh we choke on the water then repent
Ooh we drink from the fountain of intent
Ooh we choke on the water then repent

This Link Is Dead
Thanks
You want action?
Yeah, I'm aware which form you think I should try
That shit means nothing
You see I'm done
Right now I think it's time that you know
Pay attention
Watch me close
As I decide which f*cking way I move
I'm filled up with true hatred
No, that don't work
You would swear you're why I am here
That don't mean nothing
There's nothing wrong
I can choose how this will unfold
And I feel like fire, but my heart is cold
Open your eyes, you'll see this shit's no fun
'Cause I'm filled up with true hatred
And I relate to no one
It's a useless game
I'm slowly closing down
You snap your fingers and you think I'll respond
F*ck, I will never need your guide
Yeah some day you can show me, right?
That shit means nothing
You see I'm done
Take your ideas and f*cking have some fun
You're on your own, you're on your own
You should, you should
Look deep inside, you might see
I'm just fine
Look close, close inside
Don't miss the moment you may never get back
I'll show you something, something prized
Well, you were there, you think you know what it's like?
I have no patience now for expectation, wow
F*ck this shit, leave me alone
You're on your own
You're on your own
I'm sure, I'm sure
You want action?
Yeah, I'm aware which form you think I should try

Radiant City
There's something inside this
Confusion we face
We marvel in silence
As time ticks away
Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it's so close
Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it's close
No one alive has taken me here
Nothing I've tried will replace your trick
If I ever choose to break in again
Promise me now you'll follow me in
A moment of conscious
Then shocked to the head
Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it is so close
Where's the ledge?
Can't touch it
But I feel it's close
No one alive has taken me here
Nothing I tried replaced your tricks
Whenever I choose to break in again
Promise me now you will follow me in
'Cause nobody else cuts me the same
You've pulled me into a permanent trance
If you ever choose to break in again
I promise you now, I'll follow you in
Promise you now, I'll follow in
Confusion we face
We marvel in silence
As time ticks away
Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it's so close
Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it's close
No one alive has taken me here
Nothing I've tried will replace your trick
If I ever choose to break in again
Promise me now you'll follow me in
A moment of conscious

Where's the ledge?

Where's the ledge?

Promise me now you will follow me in

Headless
I think it's obvious we are a mess, we cut against the grain
It's contagious how we live
If you're curious of the valiance I can show you, wait
'Cause I forget all of this is obvious
We're entirely insane, they claim
They wanna climb into our brain waves
I know you're wondering how the two of us, we adapt these traits
I can't teach you how we play
And you're curious how the brilliance controls you, wait
'Cause I forget all of this is obvious
We're entirely insane, they claim
Yet they'd like to violate our brain waves
You seek desire, our desire
Oh, your attention is useless
We sway from the top off ledge
We swim in a bottomless lake
It's true
We are entirely insane, we'd claim
And you'd like to dive into our brain waves
You seek desire (someday) our desire
Seek desire, real, true desire
Your attempt is useless
It's contagious how we live
If you're curious of the valiance I can show you, wait
'Cause I forget all of this is obvious
We're entirely insane, they claim
They wanna climb into our brain waves
I know you're wondering how the two of us, we adapt these traits
I can't teach you how we play
And you're curious how the brilliance controls you, wait
'Cause I forget all of this is obvious

Ohms
We're surrounded
By debris of the past
And it's too late
To cause a change in the tides
So we slip into
Our hopeless sea of regret
As I stare
Through
The haunted maze in your eyes
Right through
Where I'll remain for all time
And time won't change this
This promise we made
Yeah, time won't change this
It's how it'll stay
This is our time
We devour the days ahead
We've been possessed
By these changing times
As we slip on through
We promised to meet again
Somewhere
Through
The haunted maze in our minds
Right though
Where we shall remain for all time
Yeah, time won't change this
This promise we made
And time won't change this
We shall remain
By debris of the past
And it's too late
To cause a change in the tides
So we slip into
Our hopeless sea of regret
As I stare
Through
The haunted maze in your eyes
Right through
Where I'll remain for all time
And time won't change this
This promise we made
Yeah, time won't change this
It's how it'll stay
This is our time
We devour the days ahead
We've been possessed
By these changing times
As we slip on through
We promised to meet again
Somewhere
Through
The haunted maze in our minds
Right though
Where we shall remain for all time
Yeah, time won't change this
This promise we made
And time won't change this
We shall remain
