this is making me nervous
so many secrets under the surface
and they don't want to be found
i'll never go down so far with you
cuz i know they're watching me too
a premonition of oceans
deadly waves
wash up deadlier sand
i'll never go down so far with you
cuz i know they're watching me too
follow the money
see where it goes where it runs and
now you're gone
i'll never go down so far with you
cuz i know they're watching me too
am i just too paranoid?
how do you keep yourself out of the void
when you can't even tell the signals
from the noise

Looking For Comrades
02:36
|
|
||
|
I don't really understand
where I'm supposed to land
I never read the instruction book
Didn't even know where to look
now i'm
looking for comrades
but i don't think they're looking for me
we are the isolati
we're gonna save the world with our
lonely schemes
i'll never meet you
what did you want to do?
now I'm on the side of the road
thought I could grow up without getting old
but there's only so much time in the space
you can fold
now I'm off my beat
I can barely see
and that's how it used to be

The Imposters
04:20
|
|
||

you’ve got to be kidding me
take a look at yourself
and dust it off
you've got to relearn that dance
you used to know it so well
i know it's been a long time
just a little more to go
and you’ll be on your way
through that sparkling door, its gonna be okay
don't believe the imposters
or anything they say
they'll just play out any scene
to get in your way
you have terrible habits
but who's keeping track these days?
take 'em all and walk away
you don't owe anything
don't believe the imposters
or anything they say
they'll just play out any scene
to get in your way
there's a whole wide world out there
and you want it all
so don't believe the imposters

The Great Green One
06:50
|
|
||
|
when the great green lord gave us a riddle to solve
we thought so hard our brains dissolved
taking it over from there
crawling through just about anywhere
oh valkyrie i nearly brought you home
but i didn't know how far you'd go
the dangers were told of these streets we roam
but how could i know how far you'd go
trouble it comes and trouble it knows
just another thing we can't control
but i'll keep my eyes open you keep watch
and maybe tonight this will finally stop
valkyrie i nearly brought you home
but i didn't know how far you'd go
the dangers were told of these streets we roam
but how could i know how far you'd go
but its still my fight
you can stay by my side
its impossible
to keep it from you

Coffee Grinds
04:56
|
|
||
|
i like that you don't mind
when i grind the espresso beans too fine
and then the coffee looks like slime
some day we'll find the right grind
i like that i can't read your mind
and i like how we waste all our time
even when i'm hard to find
i know you'll hold me when i'm shy
and i like how i love you
i like your shoes and how you walk around the place
i like your taste in music and i also like your face
lets get out of here and find some better space
cuz i like how i love you

Keep Your Head
05:38
|
|
||
|
look at you all dressed up
in your incredible
suit of armor
take this trinket
protect it with your life
i know the road looks long, dark, and dreary
but you show no fear
and i have every ounce of faith
in your return
so keep your head lifted
keep your limbs and
keep your spirits intact
i'll never send you out
to retrieve anything
you couldn't carry back
light the candles and i'll draw your card
the morning flames bring a new beginning
and you can see the stars
keep your head lifted
keep your limbs and
keep your spirits intact
i'll never send you out
to retrieve anything
you couldn't carry back

Wasted Potential
03:01
|
|
||
|
don’t want to think about my
wasted potential
that kind of thing drives me up the wall
and once I’m up there
i lose my balance
nothing down here to catch my fall’
don’t wanna think about it
don’t wanna think about it
what else can i do?
living in such serious days
don’t want to think about how it
could have been better
that’s the kind of thing that wastes my time
sometimes the past is
just an epilogue
for some stranger’s boring life
all the wasted potential in the world
couldn't buy me a decent suit
and all the wasted potential in the world
you'd think i'd have something better to do

A Good Year
02:21
|
|
||
|
when you take it all into account
its been a good year
when you take it all into account
its been a pretty good couple of years
beyond all the toxicity
beyond all the ugliness you see
its been a pretty good year
wait 'til you see what's next
you could tell me all of the secrets of the universe
you could tell me all the secrets of the universe
it would go over my head right now
nothing as important as what i've found
when you take it all into account its been a good year

Kick Up The Dust
05:18
|
|
||
|
count back from ten its just you and no one else
what are you gonna do by yourself?
kick it up
kick up the dust
this is the opening the last chance you have
after this it gets real bad
take it slow but look out its got to go
so take it up lift it up
take off before you find yourself planted too deep
i know it seems like that weight is too much to lift without getting crushed
but before it drags you down pick it up
kick it up
kick up the dust
here's the situation now you have no hope
but to kick it up, pick it up
your legs are broken and bound but if you don't move
you will begin to rust
so count back from ten
and just kick up the dust
just kick up the dust
kick it up
kick off the dust
you have no hope but to kick off the dust

Pollen
04:42
|
|
||
|
i hate this air
it has me moving slow
moving so slowly
and i can’t think if i can barely breathe
i recall the ghosts of the underworld beneath
and the way its pollen clogs up my ESP
now i salt the earth with you
a fallen god i knew
my prayer ignored is answered by itself
couldn't remember
what i said
what i wrote here
if its dead
forever
a last
request
and if you're rotting now
i hope you know
i never lost faith
but who's the fool
i salt the earth with you
a fallen god i knew
would crawl back to the shadows
and never haunt anyone else
is this even my
world to talk about
my song to sing aloud
or just my end to bring about
what did i do to lose it all?
what did you do to lose yourself?
before the rest could dry it out?
i could fall down with you
right into the void
if i could only hear
the signals through the noise
