Idle Eyes

You take a step back
I take a step away
Along the fades on the waves of time
Only beneath
Sailboat lovers ask why we stayed this way
Everyday you see the fight
Falling in line with the bottomless lies
Wait for my queue
In air I drew
Stumbling out to the stage that you knew
A doubt to expose
We can transpose each others idle eyes
Longing to mold
Melting the years
Carry my fears
All the way down to the cold of hypocracy
Straight ahead we see the sky
While we swim to find a common ground
We made turns along the way
Don't care if it takes all day
We are on our own
Can we ignite force in our lives
Will we stay with our bodies or fold
Must we stay dreaming
Holding on to thoughts of the past
We know we're supposed to go
But you'll never see
Imagine where you'll find me
Your own dreams will surprise you
Imagine where you'll find me
Your own dreams will surprise you
But you'll only care when the story goes the wrong way

Skin On Our Toes

Government is kept on a leash
We stand by the tide in the wake of yesterday
Now we're losing the enemies
Gone like the skin on our toes
Why on Earth am I doing here now?
Losing the enemies
Gone like the skin on our...
Our motive is not the cut you down
Intentions gold for the best for all
Losing the enemies
Gone like the skin on our toes
Why on earth am I doing here now?
Losing the enemies
Gone like the skin on our...
Cannot stay here
You can stop if you want to but we're going further
We're moving on
We'd hate to leave you behind
You can stop if you want to but we're going further
We're moving on
We'd hate to leave you all behind
Losing the enemies
Gone like the skin on our toes
Why on earth am I doing here now?
Losing the enemies
Gone like the skin on our...

Dreams
No oxygen
We'd know what to do, of course
Scene from a film
Rewind and replayed without force
These genes
Selfish arbiter
Change the ways and needs we have today
This is for us
Growing up somehow
Pleasant view-change without you involved
This is for us
Going up somehow
Pleasant view-change without you involved
Just hope and fall in love
Be sure to get plenty of rest
Because it takes us without choice
This is evolution at its best
There's no wrong way down this road
This is for us
Growing up somehow
Pleasant view-change without you involved
This is for us
Going up somehow
Pleasant view-change without you involved

We hesitate to say goodbye
There must be something bigger than you and I
Turning screws and touching wires
We're piecing our future and fading away
I thought we had something together
These wheels won't turn anymore
Albeit obvious, we must set sail
But don't just stand there and think
"we can try again"
So it is, so it was, so it won't be
I thought we had something together
And all we've done can't be for nothing
I haven't felt the same for weeks
I'm so tired, so tired
We've been working countless hours
There's an opening, there's an opening
I thought we had something together
And all we've done can't be for nothing

Pale Mask

See the dead hidden away
I see sleeping giants crash in the wind
The sun may come but it's bitter and never stays
It's all gray here
Photos show a skewed perspective
There is no substitute
Photos show a skewed perspective
There is no substitute for experience
The cold gets inside and won't leave
It weighs us down
This white-out we live it puts teeth on edge
You wear your pale mask that we all admire
But I see your reasons
I see your purpose
I know what you've come here to do
Photos show a skewed perspective
There is no substitute for experience
This is a beautiful killer
And I can see the end
Our gray will fade
This feeling will return
It'll all be over with a sigh

Simple Illusion

You finally fall to you knees
Admitting "I just don't have the time"
The hands slow down for you to see
It's hard to disagree
Imagine if we had to start over and living the same old lies
The weight of us dropping down so hard
We never see eye to eye
But there's no simple solution
No pattern of a disguise
Just another difficult lesson
We're finding out who we are
Frozen in this state please get us out
We won't stop looking for you
We're floating in this state please get us out
We won't stop looking for you
Just stand in line and carve out our own pieces of the end
And though we're living under cinders we have a chance to grow
But it's no simple illusion
A shadow on a disguise
Just another difficult lesson
We're finding out who we are
Frozen in this state please get us out
We won't stop looking for you
We're floating in this state please get us out
We won't stop
Frozen in this state please get us out
We won't stop looking for you
We're floating in this state please get us out
We won't stop
This way we fail day after day
Can't formulate another way
All those times we faded to zero
The hands slow down for us to see but we're
Given all the reason to leave
Frozen in this state please get us out
We won't stop looking for you
We're floating in this state please get us out
We won't stop
Frozen in this state please get us out
We won't stop looking for you
We're floating in this state please get us out
We won't stop
Call my bluff coz I'm the same as you

Modus Operandi

There is hope
We will come out the other side alive
With a light
And a chance to succeed
And agree to learn from our mistakes
One more chance to put these pieces back together
Look, we feel safer
Look, we are calmer now
Though I might be just a little scared
Mindless rearranging in an order than snaps
And wrong modus operandi inside of ourselves
All this time comprehending all the things that are lost and gone
No more of this pretending it's inside of ourselves
So let's move
There is no more time to waste
If this is true then we can all shake off these rotten, stinking ropes
There is hope that we'll come out there other side alive
Mindless rearranging in an order than snaps
And wrong modus operandi inside of ourselves
All this time comprehending all the things that are lost and gone
No more of this pretending it's inside of ourselves
Still awake in a sea of sleep
Still awake in a sea of sleep

I will admit everything that I've done wrong
No more shadows on the light
So I lie and say everything will be just fine
Anything to keep you here
Like the trees on Mars
Gone but left their mark
Oh my, it's just on the edge of a quiet afternoon
Patiently we go along
It's okay, the sun hasn't gone away yet
We won't face the end alone
In clouds someday
Something impossible
You'll only dream
One day, we'll wake
No longer be ourselves
Then it's complete
Looking down in this state
This lovely world we'll complicate
All our lives now are at stake
Can't we breathe oh can't we wait
I want you
Nothing more
This lovely world will complicate me and you
Like the trees on Mars
Gone but left their mark
Like our bleeding hearts
Whispering something true
Like the trees on Mars
Gone but left their mark
Don't mistake this for another dream--a backyard
This lovely world we'll only contemplate

Reset

This is the place
This is the place we've been waiting for
No more running too
We've been running for most of our lives
Now it's time to reset and begin again
We started this long ago
Before we knew where we were going
How many times did we hold ourselves back and lose ground
Trying to bring past into view
But it's cloudy
This is all we see
From our taillights
But in the headlights we're done solving this mystery
Things aren't what they used to be
All our lives we've been in a void
Now we know what we are
And what we're capable of controlling
We found when we're using less ourselves we do more
Trying to bring the past into view
But this is all we see
From our taillights
We're done solving this mystery
Things aren't what they used to be
All our lives we been in a void
All this time we open and reset
All that's left is ourselves as we approach the end
This is what it feels like to be complete again
But in the headlights...
We're done solving this mystery
Things aren't what they used to be
All our lives we been in a void
All this time we open and reset
All this time we open and reset
