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 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

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 02:26
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
