Wrong Time

I'm on the wrong side of the law again
It's gonna take a while to find a friend inside
Took my directions from the blind
Found a new faith to wear, it might have been your kind
Tear off a page of this old letter
Replace the sentiment, it's better
These are the words we leave behind
And all the survivors will read between the lines
The ceiling's a sky tonight, the walls of white my only light
And voices like choirs of the catwalk halls crescendo
And it feels like this time might be the wrong time
This time might be the wrong time
Added all the guards here on the take
To the rest of us who hide mistakes
Watching all our memories go by
Climbing up this never-ending slide

Uncivilized

Cut off all the contact
To the place I used to roam
Now when I go back there
It don't feel like my old home
Laundered all my memories
I don't recall the crime
Still there's something in the air
Reminds me of the time
We were uncivilized
(how we began)
Uncivilized
(we've lost the plan)
We were unncivilized
(the unraveled man)
Uncivilized
(now rules again)
Every day we stare
Into electric window glass
All the empty rooms inside
Suggest a furnished past
Future's got a hold on us
Untethered though we stray
Into the abyss
Of all the troubles that we laid
While we were civilized
(how we began)
Now we're uncivilized
(we've lost the plan)
Uncivilized
(the unraveled man)
Uncivilized
(now rules again)
There's nothing left here
But the shell of what we once were
So hear us roar
Hear us roar
Brace yourself
Brace yourself
Everyone of us survives
To get what we deserve

Crumble
04:19
|

Jump out the plane
And parachute to your ruin
Your friends admire how you do it
Step off the plank
And go head first to an empty pool
Rely upon what they taught in school
A minute of doubt, a minute of doubt
It only takes a minute of a doubt
A second of doubt
It only takes a second of a doubt
You can crumble upward, scribble writing on the wall
Everyone one you'll see is standing tall
'Til they fall
'Til they fall
'Til they fall
'Til they fall
Under the weight of the sun
Sleep off your sighs
And drink up all the reasons why
It helps to blind yourself tonight
Trip down the stairs
As steps become too steep to climb
We slide to futures undesigned
Let's risk our rewards
Let's risk our rewards
Let's risk every one of our rewards
Leave everything back
It's lighter when you leave it all back
If you crumble upward
Leave the writing on the wall
Everyone will see you standing tall
'Til you fall
'Til you fall
'Til you fall
'Til you fall
Under the weight of the sun
Let's crumble up before we fall
Let's crumble up before we fall

Uphill Grave

Lost in the mire
Of our own creation
Once and awhile
I tune into that station
Whittled away that hold
Like an occupation
Now everyone's fine
Erased the lines of my history
Severed the ties of our ancestry
Don't need a light above
We're guided by propulsion
'Cause everyone's fine
But I can't tell the sun
From the moon rising
All the colors fade to brown
Everyone is fleeing town
Rest in place or fall behind
We're halfway underground
And buried by the sound
So I'll follow the bright night
To my uphill grave
Follow the bright night
To my uphill grave
Halfway underneath the clouds

Ordinary

Empty well fills itself
With dry dreams above ground
Gone like water, vapor to space
Lost are the last of our ordinary tastes
So we follow the darkest of the prophets
We follow the darkest of the prophets
Forrest pines crave the blaze
Ignited brush make way for plains
Where the roots divide the varied strains
In the powdered earth of what remains
Gone like fathers mothers replace
Lost are the last of our ordinary tastes
Now we follow the darkest of the prophets
Yeah, we follow the darkest of the prophets
To the precipice

Make this bed so perfect
We could sleep forever
Watch our dreams fall off the trees
Float down the river
Wake up crashing
And you're out of anesthesia
Finished we start
'Cause we are so invincible
The towers of our demise
Are puncturing the sky
We drown in no tomorrows
While we run into the night
The hailing rocks above
Make valleys soon to bloom
A city made of cemetery spires
In our new ruins
Where all our fears dissolve
Covering our eyes
For the next surprise
Dust still in our eyes
What's the new surprise
Covering our eyes
For the next surprise
Dust still in these eyes
Time for new surprises
Before we say goodnight
Surrender in this fight
We make ourselves
A home inside the space of our new ruins
Where all our fears dissolve
