A Final Spell 04:21
lyrics
buy track
It was getting darker It was getting late I was in the front Room Why did I hesitate? Everyday I see her face Everyday I see her face A steady drip of morphine, That’s no way to live. I gave you a stolen heart, That wasn’t mine to give. Someday this will all go away. Someday this nightmare will fade. My first trip through the Hollows I became aware. This wasn’t the first time We brought the Earth to despair. t was getting darker It was getting late I was in the front room Why did I hesitate? A steady drip of morphine, That’s no way to live. I gave you a stolen heart, That wasn’t mine to give. The light goes out in your eyes. The night goes on and no one is surprised.

Outside The Perimeter 04:21
lyrics

‘Outside the perimeter. No safe passage guaranteed’. This is what the stranger said, This is where our path has led. Hide your mind from the enemy. Hide your mind from the enemy. The morning we set out, I had a premonition that We were not going to make it. The morning we set out, I bit my fingernails to the quick, rubbed a midas stone (for good luck). We took the fight against the satellite against impending night our deeds will not be remembered. That scene has cast a spell, that moment when you fell, and you were taken away from me. ‘Outside the perimeter No safe passage guaranteed’, Hide your mind from the enemy. Hide your mind from the enemy. The last words that you said, ‘if we ever see the next dawning star this will make a great story’. The last words that you said, They echo through my head, they echo through my head. We took the fight against the satellite against impending night our names will not be remembered. that scene has cast a spell that moment when you fell and you were taken away from me It replays over and over over and over over and over

Seems you’re out of ammunition And your precious Sir Raleigh Is no where to be seen And I hope permanently I would set you free I would set you free I would set you free But it’s not up to me I would let you go I would let you go I want you to know But it’s not up to me You see I had premonition You’d get stranded here with me I instructed my assistants To search vigilantly For a sign, a shred, a hair Of another just like me Everyday we searched the stars For fellow travelers I would set you free I would set you free I would set you free But it’s not up to me I would let you go I would let you go I want you to know But it’s not up to me We worked it out Yes we, we worked it out And we decided we would Climb into your skins and And turn your insides out Your insides out We’ll wear you like a tight-fitting glove But you must understand We’re only doing this out of love We’re only doing this out of love We’re only doing this out of love We’re only doing this out of love A terrifying end is what met me and my friends and when Sir Raleigh makes amends he’ll never know where we are Oh he'll never know where we are where we are

Everyone Wakes Up Lost 06:02
lyrics
buy track
The alarm breaks the bliss it’s a slow read down the list a studied act, a studied fact I no longer have the knack. I miss the friction And the morning trials i start to look at the phone But i catch myself It is your right to be left alone. The building i live in is full of love, It’s full of lovers. The hallways reverberate with fights, These fighting lovers. Times are never quiet when you care so much You can’t keep it to yourself. The air is heavy with violence, Be at least they don’t face the silence. Everyone wakes up lost in this town Everyone wakes up lost in this town Tuned down to a lower key It didn’t matter I cut to the front of the line but as you can see It didn’t matter at all The alarm breaks the bliss it’s a slow read down the list a studied act, a studied fact I no longer have the knack. I miss the friction And the morning trials i start to look at the phone But i catch myself It is your right to be left alone. Every one wakes up lost in this town Every one wakes up lost in this town Sunlight through my window Head and heart feel hollow All the sadness waiting For me to awaken

Pack Up Your Things 03:43
lyrics

Q: What did you see in heaven last night? A: A sunrise, a sunrise Q: What did you hear in heaven last night? A: Bird songs, bird songs Far away from the Carnival Un-shoulder the weight The burden of State Far away from the Chancellor No icy smiles Amidst the crocodiles Pack Up your Things We’ll Start again Pack up your things We’ll make a new life again The worst we can say Is that it’s juvenile To run from home Towards the unknown What did it mean to be in heaven last night? Pack Up your Things We’ll Start again Pack up your things We’ll make a new life again

In The Nostalgia Room 03:22
lyrics
buy track
In this life there’s no control no connection soul to soul take off for the month of May Live a story, seize the day headset leaves a crimson mark down into the inner dark camera angles all sublime, soft and subtle sound design a garden full of spiderwebs thornful roses, careful where you tread a ghost ship dream of prisoners those nasty, nightly visitors Sad melody, oh mournful tune an open road to a thousand moons a sinful laugh, a photograph none plus none does not equal one, do the math do the math the timing of chemistry is a marvelous thing to see endless, numb, what need is there to break this moment and come up for air? I can live, I can live inside this song I can live, I can live inside this song but only for awhile but only for awhile only for awhile only for awhile

Pharoah City 09:17
lyrics

We built the lights, the routes, the roads around you We built the rises and the shifts that surround you Sunlight opens and astounds Sunlight opens and astounds We built the lights, the routes, the roads around you We built the rises and the shifts that surround you Sunlight opens and astounds Sunlight opens and astounds We belong, we belong on the open road We belong, we belong on the open road We belong, we belong on the open road We belong, we belong on the open road I walk among the sheet rock, Concrete, and glass, and wire. These spiral towers never Seem to reconcile With gravity, You need an electronic ID to be let in the morning theater of safety. Sunlight through the laminated glass Sunlight through the laminated glass We fought the laws, and won the wars, to be able To dig far down, far in the ground, to keep this stable. We built it tight, it shifts so slight, but don’t be frightened. The winds will grind, we open the line, so don’t be frightened. Sunlight through the laminated glass Sunlight through the laminated glass It is time for returning To our homes Can we ever beat the crowd? Take this left it’s a faster way Even though the lady in the phone Says it’s a 5 minute delay Traffic lights, angry shouts All because we are working for the Pharoahs we are working for the Pharoahs It is time for returning To our homes Can we ever beat the crowd? Traffic lights, angry shouts All because we are working for the Pharoahs we are working for the Pharoahs wait wait wait up for me the sunset long ago

After The Sacred Flood 04:23
lyrics

After the Sacred Flood We lived for awhile in the mud Survived not in the way that we should we bathed our hatred in blood The Four Wars, also called the Great Cull Fanatics, our ranks were full We took great pleasure in being cruel And Human kindness - the rarest of jewels Life was a nightmare after the sacred flood After the 10th year of May We stumbled and lost our way Now the ghosts of all those we cut down Keep us from ever sleeping sound Life was a nightmare after the sacred flood If only we could wake up

A Sign Awaits 03:40
lyrics

My eyes are sown shut with sleep The acolytes are gathered at my feet Waiting for my fever to break And my return from the fire-y lake As the drugs wear off In the corner hovers a moth Someday we’ll walk in the light Someday we’ll walk in the light A sign awaits My eyes are focused like diamonds A moth is a mouth is a lion Someday we’ll walk in the light Someday we’ll walk in the light A sign awaits

The Seventh Age 04:00
lyrics

We’ve stayed too long upon the stage We’ll say goodnight and turn the page We’re at the end of our tragic tale We’re out the door We have resigned to fail The signs are clear and everywhere the sad decline, the disrepair a final dose , a final spell The kingdom rose, the kingdom fell and it’s gone The joke is now on everyone It was over before it had begun We take our leave, we say farewell One last look at the place where we dwelled for so long The seventh age, the final hour The radiant rose, the fading flower The gilded days of catastrophe They have arrived, it’s come to be
