Take more time
Cover less ground
Slow that pace
On down
Taste and see that secret
I've been waiting for
What I've been waiting for
You've been waiting for
What we've been waiting
But you mustn't be restless
I won't have that discontent
No you mustn't be restless
I won't have that discontent
I've been waiting for
I've been waiting for
You've been waiting for
We've been waiting for

He sits down
To let some hot air out
This crumbling city
Is far to gone to stay
They won't let us drive with a radio
We're fearful for our lives
No they won't let us drive with a radio
They don't let us drive with a radio
We can't keep the people safe
No they don't let us drive with a radio
And we work far too hard
For what they pay
This once promising city
Now a symbol of decay

Criticize or defend
Compromise is no end
Turn it off or go insane
Archaic ways become our...bane
We're living in a breeding ground
We turn away (our hearts abound)
Plainly speak passion free
Build it up just to see
If we fall at the sound
Of dawn we found
An we stay content
Or do grow resent

I'm so tired of passing novelties
All of your distractions me
Aren't distracting me
Your look like sheep, you speak like one too
But that doesn't hide, hide the wolf in you
Hide the wolf in you
You're too scared to stay the same, but too stubborn to make a change.
Too stubborn to make a change.
Make no confession to me
You'll see what you want to see
What you want to see
What you want to see

Chasing After the Wind

So I said if I had wings like a dove
I would fly away and be at rest
Indeed, I would wander far
Off into the wilderness
And there, in the evening
Morning and at noon
Chasing after the wind
I'm chasing after the wind
I will pray and cry aloud
And he shall hear my voice
So I said, if I had wings like a dove
I would fly away and be at rest
chasing after the wind
I'm chasing after the wind
There's nothing new under the sun

A Broken clock is right twice a day
So be sure to hear what the broken people say
Wisdom thrown by happenstance
Amid a schizophrenic dance
"Come take a ride with me"
A broken clock is right twice a day
So be sure to hear what the broken people say
The throes of truth pierce as they speak
Cut through your pride, from one so weak
My time traveler

What we have here
An impasse to last through the year
Time to relearn
Communication's a bitch, and they're all so concerned
You couldn't see
Your life flashed by in a moment
So close to who you would be
one by one they came
You lay there glorious, in all that pain
Your daddy's voice
Your momma's hand
Pierced through that shroud
Now rebuild your life
Once on the fast track
A sudden stop, life's quiet for a while
You'll just have to wait
Your second coming, my dear, is gonna be great

Ellipses
04:31
|

|
Reason abandoned
You spend too much time in that head
Despair isn't so bad
When you're all ready dead
I've known fear
Of the mire
Reason won't help me
This time
Humors nostalgic
And I recognize something lost
How does one unlearn
Deception comes with great cost
Something pulled me out of the pit
Something held me through all of this
Something happens when the rope runs out
Something's stolen all my doubt
These ellipses are an eclipse
To know the dark side
And all it's bliss

Glassy eyes await me
If I believe the lie
That you berate me
Rejection by my side
You'll never know
You'll never know
All your good intentions
Are falling down on me like dead leaves
I've become a shadow
Of who I used to be
I can't even feign a smile
For you, for anyone to see
Oh why are you downcast
Oh my soul

Echo

You wake up to that blue glow
The first thing you reach for
Attending to cold trite words
Before you kiss the warmth beside you
Little me's little you's
Like narcissus and echo
We exist everywhere in that sea
Of information, but not here
Jack of all trades master of none
We do what we must to survive on your screens
Fractured existence has got me down
And I don't care to wear that crown
But not here
Not here
Not here
You lie down with that blue glow
The last thing that you reach for

Meanwhile, elsewhere...

They want our minds
To remain occupied
They fill us up
With useless entertainment
Will you meet all of my
Cathartic needs mastermind
By your hand you suppress
Neatly package my distress
So give us pills
That make us feel
Nothing at all
Mastermind, will you waste my time
Mastermind
Don't change the tide...
Mastermind, will you waste my time
Mastermind

You led me to the dock and walked me down
The wedding party slowly gathered round
You gently gazed at me and took my hand
We said our vows and claimed to understand
Before we came undone
We tried to live as one
We came undone
Oh we came undone
Remember that brief time of happiness
Before we arrived to all of this
Now you know the darkest corners
Of my soul, yet you still choose to love
As we came undone
We tried to live as one
We came undone
Oh we came undone
It's a choice just to love
And I choose you
You led me to the dock and walked me down
Remember when our friends all gathered round
Now you choose to love me when I fail
When you see the person you've unveiled
