Black Lung 01:10
lungs bad words gasp for air one day i'll breathe until then i'll never know what was the point of being bored i'm in on the reality i know i'm getting old bad days wanting to touch gold the edge of your duality the hope for something more or less still breathing hate, fear a weakness or a strength a source of broken promises what gets you through the day by day out of the mold build it piece by piece don't be left out in the cold again still breathing black lung
2.
Flagship 01:28
no way out from this place we thought that we'd find a community but there was nothing nowhere to run so we will ride nothing we won't be heard until the day we close our mouths and listen this flagship no captain aboard nothing we won't be heard until the day we close our mouths and listen i've learned to look another way i've learned to turn my cheek a pattern of patience will consummate that waypoint that we seek
3.
Hands Down 01:03
eat it up every mistake every bit every bite every flake all the things that you left they're all coming back ease it off rock the hammer back clear your mind and throw your weapon in the trash you'll be fine just don't waste your time unpack call back lay your hands down roll back, go back to the start no fate always making we'll get some rest when we are dead roll back, go back to the start
4.
i want to tell you about what i know it's nothing really, actually i don't know anything what if i told you about what i've seen my eyes were open but i couldn't focus anyway knowing what i know now then would change fuck all i want to make the same mistakes again so what can we show from doing all of this some broken parts and some things we lost and used to miss a sacrifice, but what we gained was what again knowing what i know now then would change fuck all i kind of want to make the same mistakes again now i know knowing what i know now then, changed fuck all, let's make some more mistakes
5.
desperate for tomorrow begging for a place to breathe never welcome never home going under and time is forgetting and we wonder if we'll wander forever so we hope for new days let them out when you see us we're already dead when you see us we're ghosts going under and time is forgetting and we wonder if we'll wander forever so we hope for new days let them out when you see us we're already dead we're only ghosts you share your hatred won't share your home you share your failures we share our hope
6.
crows by the bay it's okay superier but hollow gold, better days nothing stays the pattern is to follow o the sun beats down to the ground on the necks of immigrants o the heart beats on on and on the pace is medicine crows by the bay things won't change until you change them o the sun beats down to the ground on the necks of immigrants o the heart beats on on and on the pace is medicine though the seasons change we remain always searching
7.
Worth 01:25
your last days a fast pace but nothing was worth the time about face you turn and you run for your life on your own your best days ahead and all in due time ride the storm you'll be saved the waves are your truth be free now
8.
when we were alone and all the answers were awake all the trouble was still worth the time it took for us to take and the only thing to stop us was the threat of someone else because whoever could have guessed your greatest enemy was yourself but we loved the ride nothing could prepare us for what we could see we set the bar aside so that the future wasn't low or high the joy and fear of not knowing where you were was a prison and a life raft and the only thing that mattered was we loved the ride
9.
making out distant figures so you're breaking out of your head and you state your best intentions burn your bed that's enough sleep you'll be back there when you're dead only run, don't you drag your feet so catch your breath but don't save your voice for me don't save your voice for anyone
10.
a setting apart forgetting the winter sun regretting your blame and letting your pain control the prices you pay devices of misery for vices of hate or letting some fate take hold manufacturing your own cell no light no escape a prison of mind a vision of apathy you're so safe always not letting go just go with the flow of the rhine o the places you've never seen because you won't leave home i just hope that you wait for me i'm leaving soon manufacturing your own cell no light no escape these walls are funny pack your bag rise say goodbye to an empty room look to the moon always, we'll be watching at the same time
11.
Was 01:17
tear your arms out building burn your eyes out watching until the sun sets everything was gone
12.
victims builders progress leaves a wake we sink only infant eyes see the sky only the humble think speak up owners draw the lines skeptics find their peace in crossing them lovers lead the blind following their pain, emptiness to make amends for all the things i never said and all the subtleties that never left my book of theories i never made a starring role because every time a camera rolls my throat is dry my feet get cold my knees are weak and my arms fold i'm not sure if it is for me but i can't stop from wondering about the possibilities of being more than in a background scene or saying something with meaning so onward towards a red horizon i don't know i'll ever find it i hope to say at least i tried so maybe i can sleep at night i don't want to be a victim i don't want to say i'm bored but i can't say i'm still browsing and i can't say that i'm sold just because it's over doesn't mean it can't begin we've all been here before and we would gladly do it all again onward
