When did we become these sinking stones?
When did we build this broken home?
Holding each other like ransom notes
Dropping our hearts to grip our brother's throat
I'm on the bottom of the ocean floor
Eye for eye, drowning just to keep the score
Blaming the world outside ourselves
Surrounded by mirrors in a sinking shell
Nothing More - Nothing More Album Lyrics

This is the Time (Ballast)
When did we become these sinking stones?
When did we build this broken home?
Holding each other like ransom notes
Dropping our hearts to grip our brother's throat
You can't see because you don't know
You're caught below, beneath your own shadow
Stuck inside, half alive
Do you ever stop to ask yourself why?
Close your mind, identify
Do you feel, do you feel?
Do you call this a life?
All you waited for
Drowning just to keep score
We always start with good intentions
But lose ourselves along the way
This is the time that we let it go
These are the words that will take us home
Singing the song that's inside us all
If we don't open our eyes we're walking blind
Anchored in anger, we exile ourselves
Bitter blood builds our prison cell
Darker water now fills our lungs
The depths of our heart have blacked the sun
You can't see because you don't know
You're caught below, beneath your own shadow
Stuck inside, half alive
Do you ever stop to ask yourself why?
Close your mind, identify
Do you feel, do you feel?
Do you call this a life?
All you waited for
Drowning just to keep score
We always start with good intentions
But lose ourselves along the way
This is the time that we let it go
These are the words that will take us home
Singing the song that's inside us all
If we don't open our eyes we're walking blind
Naked we come, naked we leave
Fools we are, to hold tightly
We are the jail, we are the key
We are free, we are free
This is the time that we let it go
These are the words that will take us home
Singing the song that's inside us all
If we just open our eyes
This is the time that we let it go
This is the pain we are forced to know
Singing the song that's inside
Inside us all, inside us all
Walking Blind
When did we build this broken home?
Holding each other like ransom notes
Dropping our hearts to grip our brother's throat
You can't see because you don't know
You're caught below, beneath your own shadow
Stuck inside, half alive
Do you ever stop to ask yourself why?
Close your mind, identify
Do you feel, do you feel?
Do you call this a life?
All you waited for
Drowning just to keep score
We always start with good intentions
But lose ourselves along the way
This is the time that we let it go
These are the words that will take us home
Singing the song that's inside us all
If we don't open our eyes we're walking blind
Anchored in anger, we exile ourselves
Bitter blood builds our prison cell
Darker water now fills our lungs
The depths of our heart have blacked the sun
You can't see because you don't know
You're caught below, beneath your own shadow
Stuck inside, half alive
Do you ever stop to ask yourself why?
Close your mind, identify
Do you feel, do you feel?
Do you call this a life?
All you waited for
Drowning just to keep score
We always start with good intentions
But lose ourselves along the way
This is the time that we let it go
These are the words that will take us home
Singing the song that's inside us all

Naked we come, naked we leave

We are the jail, we are the key
We are free, we are free
This is the time that we let it go

Singing the song that's inside us all
If we just open our eyes
This is the time that we let it go
This is the pain we are forced to know
Singing the song that's inside
Inside us all, inside us all

Mr. MTV
Free drugs, Cheap sex
Fake tans, Big breasts
High times, Pimped rides
Lost days to blackout nights
I need this, I need that
I'm not complete with what I have
If I do this, If I buy that
I'll get mine, I'll get mine
I want, I want, I want...
Empty me, empty nation
Emptied us of inspiration
Bastard sons and broken daughters
All bow down to our corporate father
In my iLife, In my iWorld
On my iPhone, With my iGirl
Just one bite to understand
Even Eve couldn't live without the iPlan
I NEED IT
Do this, Buy that
Get my drugs and sex
More drugs, Want sex, Need sex

First Punch
Another day stuck in repeat
Another someone judging me
Another hour I hold it in
Another time I force a grin
Another god who doesn't speak
Another leader that's a thief
Another day without a choice
Another day without a voice
I'll hold it in, I'll hold it in, I'll hold it in
Forget it, now
I'll throw the first punch
Because I've kept my mouth shut
For far too long, Enough's enough
And you say I'm wrong, but it feels right
And it's about damn time
It's been too long
Enough's enough enough
Enough's enough
Enough's enough
Another time that I get burned
Another way that I've been hurt
Another year too little pay
Another person in my way
Another lover says goodbye
Another lack of reasons why
Another day I'll let it slide
Another way you try to change my life
I'll hold it in, I'll hold it in, I'll hold it in
Forget it, now
I'll throw the first punch
Because I've kept my mouth shut
For far too long, Enough's enough
And you say I'm wrong, but it feels right
And it's about damn time
It's been too long
Enough's enough enough
Enough's enough
Enough's enough
Enough's enough
Right between the eyes
Right between the eyes

And you say I'm wrong, but it feels right
And it's about damn time,

Gyre
You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean.
The ocean waves and the universe peoples.
What you do is what the whole universe is doing at the place you call 'here and now.'
You are something the whole universe is doing, in the same way that a wave is something the whole ocean is doing.
What you do is what the whole universe is doing at the place you call 'here and now.'
You are something the whole universe is doing, in the same way that a wave is something the whole ocean is doing.
The ocean waves and the universe peoples.
What you do is what the whole universe is doing at the place you call 'here and now.'
You are something the whole universe is doing, in the same way that a wave is something the whole ocean is doing.
What you do is what the whole universe is doing at the place you call 'here and now.'
You are something the whole universe is doing, in the same way that a wave is something the whole ocean is doing.

The Matthew Effect
You've been sucking tit
Asleep in your cradle
Given the world
You're still ungrateful
You bitch and whine
You're always entitled
You blame Mommy and Daddy
You think you're Jesus Christ
You've been sucking tit
Safe in your cradle
Given the world
But somehow unable
If talk is the game
Then you take the title
Your day is coming
Despite your denial
Like a parasite, You got the easy life
I'm the hand that feeds,
You're the dog that bites
I'll be breaking, breaking, breaking your pride
You're sucking, sucking, sucking me dry
One day you'll realize,
You're no Jesus Christ
I dream of the day,
Your eyes are ripped open
You eat your words
Spit up and start choking
Talk like a man
But walk like a child
Your day is coming, Despite your denial
I'll be breaking, breaking, breaking your pride
You're sucking, sucking, sucking me dry
One day you'll realize, why can't you realize?
You're no Jesus Christ
Give up, step back, rewind, repeat
And then you'll see one day
That you could be like a star someday
Asleep in your cradle
Given the world
You're still ungrateful
You bitch and whine
You're always entitled
You blame Mommy and Daddy
You think you're Jesus Christ
You've been sucking tit
Safe in your cradle
Given the world
But somehow unable
If talk is the game
Then you take the title
Your day is coming
Despite your denial
Like a parasite, You got the easy life
I'm the hand that feeds,
You're the dog that bites
I'll be breaking, breaking, breaking your pride
You're sucking, sucking, sucking me dry
One day you'll realize,
You're no Jesus Christ
I dream of the day,
Your eyes are ripped open
You eat your words
Spit up and start choking
Talk like a man
But walk like a child
Your day is coming, Despite your denial
I'll be breaking, breaking, breaking your pride
You're sucking, sucking, sucking me dry
One day you'll realize, why can't you realize?
You're no Jesus Christ
Give up, step back, rewind, repeat
And then you'll see one day
That you could be like a star someday

Ill Be OK
We live in the rain, a sea of change
You can't keep anything you take
Lovely face of lives we chase
Is but dust for wind to take
When all is gone, the only loss
To not have loved at every cost
When you can say, and I can say
We loved with every step we take, I'll be okay
How do you love when your heart is broken?
How do you speak when you feel outspoken?
I can forgive and be forgiven
By learning to heal with a heart wide open
With open hearts, despite the stakes
We take a chance on our mistakes
A brand new day, we will embrace
An open wound that heals with grace
All the fears that we will face
In this time, and in this place
When you can say, and I can say
We loved with every step we take, I'll be okay
How do you love when your heart is broken?
How do you speak when you feel outspoken?
I can forgive and be forgiven
By learning to heal with a heart wide open
I'll be okay
I'll be okay
We live in the rain, a sea of change
You can't keep anything you take
The lovely face of lives we chase
Is but dust for wind to take
When all is gone, the only loss
Is to not have loved at every cost
When you can say, and I can say
We loved with every step we take, I'll be ok
How do you love when your heart is broken?
How do you speak when you feel outspoken?
I can forgive and be forgiven
By learning to heal with a heart wide open (how do you love when your heart is broken?)
I'll be okay (how do you love when your heart is broken?)
I'll be okay (how do you love when your heart is broken?)
I'll be okay, be okay (when your heart is broken?)
I'll be okay, I'll be okay, okay, I'll be okay (how do you love when your heart is broken?)
(We live in the rain)
You can't keep anything you take
Lovely face of lives we chase
Is but dust for wind to take
When all is gone, the only loss
To not have loved at every cost
When you can say, and I can say
We loved with every step we take, I'll be okay
How do you love when your heart is broken?
How do you speak when you feel outspoken?
I can forgive and be forgiven

With open hearts, despite the stakes

A brand new day, we will embrace

Heres To The Heartache
What if I told you life was built to break?
What if I warned you, you can't outrun your fate?
Would you believe with time comes grace?
In perfect light, in perfect place
Every dream was mine to lose
And that's what it took to lead me to you
So here's to the heartache
Here's to the mistakes
We'll drink to all the years, the tears
That led to this place
So here's to the heartache
What if I told you that everything fades away?
What if I hold you, but tell you there's just no escape?
So here's to the heartache
Here's to the mistakes
We'll drink to all the years, the tears
That led to this place
Here's to the dark days
It's been a long wait
We'll drink to all the years, the tears
That led to this place
I'll suffer, I'll bleed
Lose everything
I'll get my wings
Fall from belief
Fall to my knees
And you will see
With time comes grace
What if I warned you, you can't outrun your fate?
Would you believe with time comes grace?
In perfect light, in perfect place
Every dream was mine to lose
And that's what it took to lead me to you
So here's to the heartache
Here's to the mistakes
We'll drink to all the years, the tears
That led to this place
So here's to the heartache
What if I told you that everything fades away?
What if I hold you, but tell you there's just no escape?
So here's to the heartache
Here's to the mistakes
We'll drink to all the years, the tears
That led to this place
Here's to the dark days
It's been a long wait
We'll drink to all the years, the tears
That led to this place
I'll suffer, I'll bleed
Lose everything
I'll get my wings
Fall from belief
Fall to my knees
And you will see
With time comes grace

If I Were
Just tell me, tell me how to keep this
And I'll be alright
Just tell me, tell me what's the secret
And I'll hold it tight
'Cause I don't want to spend another moment without you again
Just tell me, tell me how to keep this so it never ends
If I were God, just for a day
I would be guilty of letting the whole world slip away
I wouldn't change, no, I wouldn't change a thing
I'd leave the mistakes
I'll take the blame
As I use the chance to keep you just the same
If I were, if I were God just for a day
Don't tell me, tell me how it changes
It's you I can't replace
Don't tell me, tell me that we're hopeless
I can learn from my mistakes
'Cause I don't want to spend another moment without you again
(Without you again) [x3]
If I were God, just for a day

If I were God, just for a day
I would be guilty of letting the whole world slip away
If I were God, just for a day
I would be guilty of letting the whole world slip away
I wouldn't change, no, I wouldn't change a thing
I'd leave the mistakes
I'll take the blame
As I use the chance to keep you just the same
'Cause I don't wanna spend another moment
'Cause I don't wanna spend another moment
No I don't wanna spend another moment
'Cause I don't wanna spend another moment
Without you [x5]
And I'll be alright
Just tell me, tell me what's the secret

Friendly Fire
I don't care about the story
I don't care about the myth
I don't care how you see my life
You haven't witnessed it
Use fear as a weapon, and pity as a whip
Convince everyone around
That I'm a piece of...
[enter scene, enter Judas]
Give me a kiss
You sold me out... hold on, wait... what did I miss?
Gossip gets you off
But you couldn't resist
Make me a sinner
Because you paint the picture
Buy your believers, you couldn't resist
We're on the same side
Friendly fire - Honest liar
[exit scene, dim the lights]
Now here comes the twist
You did this for me?... hold on, wait... what did I miss?
Your good intentions?... ha, ha [says in sarcastic tone]
What do you get out of this?
Does it make you feel alive?
Does it make you feel so high?
How does it feel?, How does it feel?
So you think it's your place
And you think you're so brave
Shit-slinging
I'll tell you now what I see
A child's insecurity projecting
From the sidelines, a critic
A voice that won't admit it
That you have never risked it
How vicarious the cynic
My Judas, my brother
My Judas, my brother
I don't care about the myth
I don't care how you see my life
You haven't witnessed it
Use fear as a weapon, and pity as a whip
Convince everyone around
That I'm a piece of...
[enter scene, enter Judas]
Give me a kiss
You sold me out... hold on, wait... what did I miss?
Gossip gets you off

What do you get out of this?

How does it feel?, How does it feel?
So you think it's your place
And you think you're so brave
Shit-slinging
I'll tell you now what I see

Sex and Lies
Black Dress, white lies
Loose friends, and some cheap wine
I've always been so trusting, my dear
A back room, on your backside
I'm backstabbed, as you backslide
Your knees are always bruised and red, dear
I've never been the one to doubt
But I wonder, wonder, wonder
I wanna hear it from the whore, horse's mouth
I caught you sleeping around
You had me fooled until now
It's over, we're over, and I'm done
Give 'em sex, give me lies
I know the truth behind your eyes
You always pass the blame so well, dear
Save your tears
Don't waste your breath
You've said it all
And there's nothing left
You're lying in the bed you made, dear
Thanks for ending all my doubt
I wonder, wonder, wonder...
But I still get sick when I think of you spreading your legs
I caught you sleeping around
You had me fooled until now
It's over, we're over, and I'm done
Now that you've slept with the town
I'll burn this damn place to the ground
Because we're over, over
You run your mouth
You scream and shout
That you're different now
It was so hard to believe
But now I can see, we're nothing more
So let me just say what I mean
You're not what I need,
You never were
Of you spreading your legs
I caught you sleeping around
You had me fooled until now
It's over, we're over, and I'm done
Now that you've slept with the town
I'll burn this damn place to the ground
Because we're over now
Over now
Loose friends, and some cheap wine
I've always been so trusting, my dear
A back room, on your backside
I'm backstabbed, as you backslide
Your knees are always bruised and red, dear
I've never been the one to doubt
But I wonder, wonder, wonder
I wanna hear it from the whore, horse's mouth
I caught you sleeping around
You had me fooled until now
It's over, we're over, and I'm done
Give 'em sex, give me lies
I know the truth behind your eyes
You always pass the blame so well, dear
Save your tears
Don't waste your breath
You've said it all
And there's nothing left
You're lying in the bed you made, dear
Thanks for ending all my doubt
I wonder, wonder, wonder...
But I still get sick when I think of you spreading your legs
I caught you sleeping around
You had me fooled until now
It's over, we're over, and I'm done
Now that you've slept with the town
I'll burn this damn place to the ground
Because we're over, over
You run your mouth
You scream and shout
That you're different now
It was so hard to believe
But now I can see, we're nothing more
So let me just say what I mean
You're not what I need,
You never were
Of you spreading your legs
I caught you sleeping around
You had me fooled until now
It's over, we're over, and I'm done
Now that you've slept with the town
I'll burn this damn place to the ground
Because we're over now
Over now

Surface Flames
I don't care about the story
I don't care about the myth
I don't care how you see my life, you haven't witnessed it
Use fear as a weapon
And pity as a whip
Convince everyone around
Friendly fire
I don't care about the myth
I don't care how you see my life, you haven't witnessed it
Use fear as a weapon
And pity as a whip
Convince everyone around
Friendly fire

Take A Bullet
Silence, Is your enemy
Because you're afraid,
That we'll all see
Silence, The more you speak
The less I believe,
You plant words like weeds
Scream loud (You'll never fool me)
Sing out (You'll never fool me)
Hear now (You'll never fool me)
Do you see how fake you sound?
Your lips are poison and sweet
But love doesn't come cheap
Talk is nothing to me
Take a bullet for me
Maybe then I'll believe
Righteous, You claim to be
Put your forked tongue, Behind your teeth
Your words are poison and sweet
But trust doesn't come cheap
Talk is nothing to me
Take a bullet for me
Maybe then I'll believe
Maybe then I will see
Maybe then you could be
Something more than just air
Coming out when you speak
Maybe then I'll believe
Your words mean nothing to me
It's time to eat what you speak
Take a bullet for me
Maybe then I'll believe
You're the wolf in the sheep
But you'll never fool me
I will never believe
Because you're afraid,
That we'll all see
Silence, The more you speak
The less I believe,
You plant words like weeds
Scream loud (You'll never fool me)
Sing out (You'll never fool me)
Hear now (You'll never fool me)
Do you see how fake you sound?
Your lips are poison and sweet
But love doesn't come cheap
Talk is nothing to me
Take a bullet for me
Maybe then I'll believe
Righteous, You claim to be
Put your forked tongue, Behind your teeth
Your words are poison and sweet
But trust doesn't come cheap
Talk is nothing to me
Take a bullet for me
Maybe then I'll believe
Maybe then I will see
Maybe then you could be
Something more than just air
Coming out when you speak
Maybe then I'll believe
Your words mean nothing to me
It's time to eat what you speak
Take a bullet for me
Maybe then I'll believe
You're the wolf in the sheep
But you'll never fool me
I will never believe

Jenny
A little sleep, a little slumber
A little folding of the hands
Left you weak, left you hungry
When there's supply you still demand
"
You're beginning to drag the ones you love down
Will this phase ever end?
A thousand arms to hold you
But you won't reach for any hands
Cause
"
I don't feel like I'm getting through to you
Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear
See your mother here, her last painful year
I wish you only knew...
She stuck around for you
She stuck around for you
"
Maybe you should just fall
And leave the world and lose it all
And if that's what you need
To finally see
I'll be with you through it all
"
Bring on the pills, roll the dollar bill
Medicating will never heal
Relapse, rehab, repeat
Always thinking about the me, me, me
"
Self-destruct, spiral down
Until your want becomes your need
Please get up like I know you can
Or forever love the fall
Cause
I don't feel like I'm getting through to you
Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear
See your mother here, her last painful year
I wish you only knew...

She stuck around for you
Maybe you should just fall
And leave the world and lose it all
And if that's what you need
To finally see
I'll be with you through it all (I'll be with you through it all)
I can't stand to see you down
Strung out, off the wagon, and unwound
But steady, steady, Oh God, Jenny, Jenny
I can't bear to hear the sound
Of your body, body hitting the ground
[x2]
Oh, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny
She stuck around for you (She stuck around for you)
She stuck around for you
"
Maybe you should just fall
Leave the world and lose it all
If that's what you need
To finally see, she loved you through it all"

God Went North
A hospital bed
A room filled with flowers
Every monitor beep keeps the time
As I count down the hours
The petals they weep
They're uprooted like me
Cut from the cord of their mother
Who created everything
If You won't save her
Please just take her away
She pulls me close
Says that she loves me
That she wishes to still be around
On the day that I marry
Tightly she holds
But the plan still unfolds
Cutting the cord from the mother
Who gave me everything
If You won't save her
Please just take her
Nothing breaks her away
From the promise of a better day
This is your moment of glory
Hallelujah
It may feel like God went north
And left you to be
But all you need to know
Is you have everything you need
It's just a blink of an eye
Until the next time we meet
I'll hold you 'til the end
I'll hold you 'til you're free
If You won't save her
Please just take her
Nothing breaks her away
Because she'll keep holding on
I'll hold you 'til the end
A room filled with flowers
Every monitor beep keeps the time
As I count down the hours
The petals they weep
They're uprooted like me
Cut from the cord of their mother
Who created everything
If You won't save her
Please just take her away
She pulls me close
Says that she loves me
That she wishes to still be around
On the day that I marry
Tightly she holds
But the plan still unfolds
Cutting the cord from the mother
Who gave me everything
If You won't save her
Please just take her
Nothing breaks her away
From the promise of a better day
This is your moment of glory
Hallelujah
It may feel like God went north
And left you to be
But all you need to know
Is you have everything you need
It's just a blink of an eye
Until the next time we meet
I'll hold you 'til the end
I'll hold you 'til you're free
If You won't save her
Please just take her
Nothing breaks her away
Because she'll keep holding on
I'll hold you 'til the end

Pyre
When you opened your eyes on the world for the first time as a child;
How brilliant the colors were;
What a jewel the sun was; what marvel the stars;
How incredibly alive the trees were
And to love again and again,
And have people to whom we are deeply attached go to sleep and never wake up
And the laughter echoes only in one's mind... but then the echo goes
The memory, the traces are all gone
All your efforts, all your achievements,
All your attainments turning into dust, nothingness
What is the feeling? what happens to you?
The idea of God as the potter, the architect of the universe,
It makes you feel that life is, after all, important,
That there is someone who cares.
It has meaning, it has sense, and you are valuable in the eyes of the father
But after a while it got embarrassing, the superstition, the myth,
The absolutely unfounded idea why does anybody believe that?
So you become an atheist, and then you feel terrible
After that because you got rid of God
But that means you got rid of yourself, you're just nothing but a machine
And your idea that you're a machine is just a machine too (a machine in the system)
So if you think that that's the way things are, you feel hostile to the world.
You feel that the world is a neurological trap into which you somehow got caught trapped You run from the maternity ward to the crematorium and that's it that's it
So if you're a smart kid you commit suicide
Now I want to propose another idea all together
The real you, is not a puppet which life pushes around.
The real you, the real deep down you, is the whole universe.
You cannot confine yourself to what happens inside the skin.
Your skin doesn't separate you from the world, it's a bridge.
But just as a magnet polarizes its-self in north and south but its all one magnet,
So experience polarizes itself as "Self" and "Other", but it's all one.
What you call the "External world" is as much you as your own body
Most people think that when they open they're eyes
And look around that what they are seeing is outside
It seems, doesn't it, that you are behind your eyes
We haven't realized that life and death, black and white,
Good and evil, being and non-being, come from the same center
When you look for your own particularized center of being
Which is separate from everything else, you won't be able to find it
The only way you'll know it isn't there is if you look hard enough,
To find out that it isn't there
It isn't there at all, there isn't a separate you
There are, in physical reality, no such things as separate events
People can't be talked out of illusions
If a person believes that the earth is flat,
You can't talk him out of that, he knows that it's flat
He'll go down to the window and see that its obvious, it looks flat
So the only way to convince him that it isn't is to say,
"Well let's go and find the edge".
