Align 03:19
today i use sticks and twine to align bricks and mortar to build four walls to hold my dreams and lover and if the rain keeps falling i will be the shelter that keeps all our harem warm and dry i cannot lie and try to paint a plastic portrait to hang my hat on and if this came down to sink or swim, i will perish at the bottom today i use barbiturates and wine and slip into my subconscious and try to dream up some scheme i can live for 'cause as the rain keeps falling inside my head as i lay drowning with nothing left to live for, there's no ideal the sediment begins to settle in an hour glass as i begin to count down until i shed my skin

feel like old boat on a dead man's sea, with no rest before me if the sun don't stop its burning rays, it will surely leave its mark it's always here, the fortunes are still at our ease so don't be long, just 'cause your heartaches are gone so you lost all the things that were close to your heart like the name that was sewn on your sleeve it's all gone away, but it's my cut feet on the ground and i've seen it all, the one step sound it's a battered soul crown and now it's your cut feet on the ground you try to look up but still fall down and i sail on with the fish is under my skin and the words are thrown to the wind it's all too real, so i sail on on to the race again, as we learn to replace the men that we know it wasn't supposed to be so defeating and demeaning as our hearts are held over our heads pushed along the rail now my heart belongs to the sea, but my hands are tied to the wheel and all i know is my bondservant soul must soon be freed and as the flood tore into this haul, i looked in and saw my shell fall away 'cause this world is make believe an open eye is a window seat on a long ride back home on to the race again, as we learn to replace the men that we know it wasn't supposed to be so defeating and demeaning as our hearts are held over our heads pushed along the rail

Dry Lake Bed 04:51
i swore that the stars were fading, you blamed it on the lights of the city either way, the sky looks dim tonight and we are so elated my swollen eyes, bruised and half open today i lost sight of importance we made time slow like our senses, robbed ourselves of life's essentials lit a fire on a dry lake bed and died, and now we are recreated i crawled through, i crouch to fit, flatten my body to slide the way down, euphoria sets in, our souls set free tonight so make no effort to return the feeling of stung eyes it's cold and the wind waves and whines and though it may fade into your insides, it still collides with the stars that fade tonight collapse and go blind, we set our standards too high collapse and go blind, your heart is the soil that feeds life collapse and go blind, you set our standards too high collapse and go blind, your heart is the soil that feeds life it's enough to know we have been slipping away and the feeling is so inspired come out, come out, don't hide yourself away we can be feeling so inspired cold and lifeless, your body clings to mine and i promised i would hold you when you passed collide with the stars, with the stars i crawled through, i crouch to fit, flatten my body to slide the way down, euphoria sets in, our souls set free tonight collapse and go blind, you set our standards too high collapse and go blind, your heart is the soil that feeds life collapse and go blind, you set our standards too high collapse and go blind, your heart is the soil that feeds life

Sinclair 03:37
We trailed power lines, their silent silhouettes came before The night had dawned it's awkwardness upon our drive When I grabbed my bags I put your heart into my hand When I grabbed my bags I put your heart into my hand We float on broke roads that mend our laden souls Into this land untried as I drive ahead of eyes, Ahead of the lights on the road Ahead of the signs, ahead of the end that is near Sinclair Your head in my hand and the sign that you swore you had seen before We played in the sand and you crawled upon a green dinosaur The photos of rest stops the maps that we chopped up The long ways the back drops our lonely hearts in demand We float on broke roads that mend our laden souls Into this land untried as I drive ahead of eyes, Ahead of the lights on the road Ahead of the signs, ahead of the end that is near We shuttered and sent our hearts to framed boxes We catalog those misplaced memories We shuttered and sent our hearts to framed boxes We briefly forgot our troubled histories Your head in my hand and the sign that you swore you had seen before We played in the sand and you crawled upon a green dinosaur Your head in my hand and the sign that you swore you had seen before We played in the sand and you crawled upon a green dinosaur

Soft Soul 02:59
you looked around and said to me that you've done well well, you don't know how hard it's been, so alone you said it's all just a ploy to burn you down well, i know the game and i think it's changed it's gone away see you around, maybe tomorrow i will see you around, maybe tomorrow and this is the only way to get back home and these are the only way to get back home and these are the things we need to save a soft soul can serenade a bad back with bad bones and make them unfeel, and make them heel but a weak heart better rest, it's not one to break a slow race to get home as passion cooks on the stove and puts her heart to the flame it makes deceiving alright it makes deceiving alright it makes this evening alright and this is the only way to get back home and these are the things we need to save sunshine, i will see you down the road we play games of show and tell awkward in each other's skin on trial it makes deceiving alright it makes deceiving alright and this is the only way to get back home and these are the things we need to save, sunshine

Northfork 03:53
Have you seen the lights glow, they'll pave the way, the way back We know that we can change or slip south from the weight of vices Equal lost, equal loved, try to find equal light We lost our lives today We'll wake when this bell rings They prayed on, hearts to the ocean They prayed on, hands to the airwaves They prayed on, eyes to horizon They prayed on We will wait for the rain We will tame all the wait We'll burn that door, trace the footsteps to the north I relinquish all, all for you, it's all for you Have you seen the lights glow, they'll pave the way back, the way back home We know that we can change or slip south from the weight of vices Equal lost, equal loved, try to find equal light We lost our lives today We'll wake when this bell rings They prayed on, hearts to the ocean They prayed on, hands to the airwaves They prayed on, eyes to horizon They prayed on We will wait for the rain We will tame all the wait Burn the rest, we don't need air It's so delayed and low We were laughing, but this will change

Warm Jets 04:07
all of the gauges point to hope but slowly fade away even the most elaborate plan couldn't save us now on this the day we dance to find repair it's out last bright sign we blind the flame but still the fire burns as we dive to earth heart slow, heads in hand i never knew we'd have to fall so far it's the means that makes the end burn down, build it up i never want to make the fire start curse the hand that hurts burn down, my warm jets this is my plane, this is my role have to go, pass it on i know my fate lies in this machine and there is no time for crying the lines are traces on sky in smoke alone as they fade away in time you hear the cheers on the parade they know you're gone
