We'll Always Have Paris

Lay down at the sound of an earthquake
Fall asleep with both eyes open
See fear in the face of a mirror
Forgetting all the words you've spoken
Get caught in a web of my own lies
See truth in made up numbers
There's a part of me that won't wake up
Separates me from the others and you,
You called me by name
Oh, come lay to rest
The dreams of man
Lift up your hands
Why do we believe the lie?

Terror Tone
05:19
|
|||
|
In our dreams, the catch between
A living lie and compromise (whoa)
We don’t know, we don’t know
Child’s play on the devil’s day
Is just as dangerous ‘cause
We don’t know, no we don’t know
The telephone’s terror tone is two alone
The telephone’s terror tone…
Burning letters, is there some way better
For us to attempt to communicate?
And not throw this away
I’ve seen heaven, and I’ve seen hell
With visions of angels dying to tell
"Be not afraid"
I believe in all the things that matter most
And remain unseen
We’ve got to believe

Lion Must Sleep
04:27
|

|
Why can I never ever find
What it is I need?
Signs take me all around the earth
Misleading me
I fall into a great unknown
So strange to me
The dark is now my only friend
The eyes of my soul
Ooooooh, ahhhhhh
How could I have been so blind?
It’s in front of me
The sand turns red
The sand turns red
The sand turns red

Apostle
04:02
|
|||
|
A letter sent from a prison gate
A sure thing that is made to wait
A man blind because he saw the truth
That people die when they say that they need you
A silent queen searching for her place
A crooked man holding out for grace
A leper daring to reveal his hands
To show what they once were and how they're better than
Circle the city with shouting voices
Oh God it's you, tell me what my choice is?
I get caught up in the day to day
but what I really need is a simple faith
I'm sitting quiet waiting on death row
pulling back a string with a broken arrow
if you can ask it of Abraham
then be my stone, and I'll be the Lamb
An apple seed planted in the ground
gold in the field that is never found
a man dying who wishes to be
left alone, helped along without any medicine
a couple nails and a wooden cross
a world to save from a single life lost
a great divide that's been cut clean
a tongue of fire placed inside me
Circle the city with shouting voices
Oh God it's you, tell me what my choice is?
I get caught up in the day to day
but what I really need is a simple faith
I'm sitting quiet waiting on death row
pulling back a string with a broken arrow
if you can ask it of Abraham
then be my stone, and I'll be the Lamb

Sense of Color
04:51
|
|||
|
Down on the corner where we both were raised
We'd lay our bodies on the street and we would wait
oh, I've waited
oh, I've waited
A sense of color for my martyrs taste
to complicate what you have made
oh, I've waited
oh, I've waited
You speak your word, into the night
and pray you never have to wake up
well don't kid yourself
we'll be alright
go on ahead
we'll be just fine
The better than, and the hard to find
happen to be some friends of mine
so don't kid yourself
we'll be alright
go on ahead
we'll be just fine
oh, i've waited
oh, i've waited
oh, i've waited
oh, i've waited
Down on the corner where we both were raised
We'd lay our bodies on the street and we would wait

Lady Atomica
05:41
|
|||
|
Caught inside
Like a line
Cast aside it all
Made to die
Pressed for time
Seconds off the clock
Lady, turn your head around
All, all we are are shadow souls
And mirrored hearts
Forty years
Away at sea
Caught in reverie
Mile high
And fathom wide
Hope was lost from me
Lady, turn your head around
All, all we are are shadow souls
And mirrored hearts

Seven Years
02:07
|
|||
|
Never understood your worth
The reason of your dreams
I have always known that I would make mistakes
There are thousands more than I have yet to make
Seven years I held your name
a stain upon my tongue
There were many days that I would wait for change
Seeing all that I'd become die away
You give me more than I deserve...

Okay

Tear this page from me
believe what you want to
justify yourself
your life is your own
oh my brother, don't let me rust
roll away the stone
my eyes need proof
when i let go
is when i'm safe in your hands
oh my brother, don't let me rust
oh my brother, don't let me rust
You let me falter, you watched me fall into the sea
you let me falter, to show me how much of you i need
have i become the ticking of clocks?
counting to the end of our so called life?

The Great Pretend
04:38
|
|||
|
This one is mine, I set him apart
I gave him his breath and the beat of his heart
Built up a gate, to keep him inside
But he preferred paths that are smoother and wide
This one is mine, I set her apart
I gave her this canvas and passion for art
Took all her fear, and reason to hide
But she wanted water with predictable tide
Oh, looks like we’re at it again
So shoot first then drop and play dead
Oh, we’re hungry for revenge
Running to the end
(But it’s only the great pretend)
This one is mine
This one is mine
This one is mine
This one is mine
It’s only the great pretend
Only the great pretend
Only the great pretend
Only the great pretend

Stained Glass Sea
11:41
|

|
Talk about the worst day that you have ever had
Blame it in the worst way, and hide behind my back
Don’t look too fast, please know that:
I, I don’t need you
I, I don’t need you anymore
We’re counting out time, your face is home
Well so am I now all alone?
Can someone please just set this straight?
We’re caught in lies and exit signs
Or something different each time
I don’t believe you, no, I don’t believe you!
I can only do so much before I drop dead
Blame it on these thoughts that echo in my head
You’re never the one to blame, please know that
I, I don’t need you
I, I don’t need you anymore
Sitting outside of your door, in the end, oh through the window
Wishing and waiting on futures, well the future never comes
Waiting desperately there, will you go? Will you stay?
I know its better, things are better off this way.
Walking home with my hands in my pockets
I don’t need any sense of direction home
