Bird's Eye View

Well there's ten thousand expressions you can make with just your face
And there's eighteen lies an hour that you tell on average
There’s your tendency to oversell yourself at my expense
And your friend already told me that you were never there
You are lying to me now, it's pretty evident
But if I bring it up, we may never talk again
Chorus:
Most people do not seem to want to quantify
I think they like the mystery
I would rather know just what I’m dealing with
Guess I prefer misery
I drove an hour in a storm to meet you in your town
Got a table and a message that you’re not coming out
That's too bad and get well soon, this weather is the worst
You were too specific, that's not how a virus works
Last week you said you love me, and I said I love you too
But I do not feel loved, wonder what it means to you
Chorus
It’s like a tool I can’t put down and also cannot use
You live in this economy, the fiat is abuse
Like a fish in toxic water, you swim in it just to breathe
Like the migratory bird I am, all I can do is leave
I don’t want to go, but I’m taking wing again
From the air I see your school, and a thousand of your friends
Chorus
I would rather know just what I’m dealing with
Guess I prefer misery

Dead Wizards
03:43
|

Smote by circumstance, allied with time
A thousand years wears down any rhyme
The weavers have woven their last thread
Til death comes to creep besides their bed
Knowing the lack of all-knowing
Sown seeds never give to growing
Fields collapse under wheel and chain
A voice in the night cries out in pain
Oh, Oh, Oh
Chorus:
Sunshine casts on crystalline days
Dead wizards rise from extravagant graves
Thunder peels as storms revive
Desperately keeping the magic alive
New is beautiful and wins the day
Pack dagger and cloak, yeah, pack them away
To homes where feet tread, seldom and light
And wicks burn lonely to keep out the night
To a time when the wheel fails to turn
The machine stops, and starts to burn
Til winter consumes all beneath its frost
Who can you call now your name’s been lost?
Chorus

Freedom Machines

Freedom is the open road
I can’t tell you where to go
But everybody needs to be somewhere
Winter kit is in the back
I checked the tires when I left
A little worry keeps the dread away
Keeps the dread away
Freedom is a four-star cage
You might be safer on a train
But this way everybody's in control
Head is on the swivel now
There's fighter pilots on the ground
And when you let your guard down
Well that is when it comes
That is when it comes
This is how you go
Who hasn’t driven past a cross
Or burning wrecks and body parts
And wondered who that person might have been?
As you hurtle to point B
Do you take the time to read
These skid marks tell the stories
Of a thousand shattered dreams
And years of therapy
From all the injuries

Nobody Can Stop Us

Yeeha!
Chorus:
Hey, what do you say?
Hey, let’s take a flight
I’d really like to see your neighborhood
Hey, what do you say?
Hey, let’s leave tonight
Nobody can stop us on the way
I know people say
And they’re justified
If you see me coming hide
Or stick with me my friend
To the bitter end
I’m so glad to call you my friend
Chorus
You know I got some friends
Got some friends myself
It’s hard to get them out of their shells
But boy when we get out
We’re all gonna scream and shout
Careful not to lose your head
Chorus
So push that button down
And bring me to your town
We’re gonna have a party
We’re gonna have a blast
Yahoo!
Yeeha!
Hey, what do you say?
Hey, let’s take a flight
We’re coming to your neighborhood
Once we get going
That’s it we’re gone
Nobody can stop us on the way
We’re coming to your house today
Yeeha!

The Soul

Can you help me please?
I need to return this
No I don’t have a receipt
It was a gift
Chorus:
It’s bad design
I hope you find
A better way
I’ll get one then
But not today
Yes I know it’s used
Took a while to find out
That it did not work
Now will you take it back?
Chorus
Yes it came from here
Where else could you get one?
Hey, the line took hours
Can we get this done?
This instruction book
It doesn't make much sense
If it’s built to sin
Why redeem it?
Chorus

Burnout
04:14
|

That was the plan
I brought it as far as I could
You took it and ran
One darkness replaced another
And I could only watch
Now you’re down in the trenches
Lighting things up, just the way I taught
Chorus:
Guess if you want the truth
This whole thing was never about you
I lit this fire, I’ll let it burn out
I lit this fire, I’ll let it burn out
It didn’t seem fair
You sacrificed so much
New gods came in a box
Now you offer each other up
But no field is waiting
Whatever comes next
You will wander a shadow
I did my best, my best
Chorus
It’s so familiar
These crumbling pillars
Calling back to the start of it all
Garlands and memories
Keep glowing for centuries
I’ll draw you a picture when they’re cold
The sins of the father
Tend to come back
Guess I should have known
Ananke had other plans
I wanted to free you
In the end you rescued me
Maybe all of this light
Makes it harder to see
Chorus
