This is more than we had bargained for,
a harsh demanded reach for the door.
A shift, a change, an occupation.
A universal relation.

Take a chance
Consider this your last dance
It's not a matter if you could,
It is if you will.. or would.
This your time,
to harvest the means,
to put forth your beliefs and make it rhyme.
Take all the time you need.
Suspend the disbelief that you're incapable of turning water into wine.
It's fine, you've been forced to walk a line
every moment of your life now step our approach the divine.
This is your fate.
Never let them tell you that it is too late.
So when we turn off the broken, sink to the water slowly.
There's no compromise, to paralyze.
You're severing the ties.
No more lies
Not to me
Not to them
Not to yourself now show me
you'll use the cards you were dealt.
(words of the hopeless, of the inspired, of the mason)
(can you hear it?)
(can you feel it?)
So when we turn off the broken, sink to the water slowly.
There's no compromise, to paralyze.
You're severing the ties.
No more lies
Not to me
Not to them
Not to yourself now show me
you'll use the cards you were dealt.
(can you feel it?)

Contract

To contradict every shade of black that's withheld the way.
To demonstrate these shades of hate which I can far too well relate.
I can still take solace, in the light that guides my path.
Even with some wrong turn I know I'll make it through the maze.
Every day the dream gets closer
I know its real I can feel it every day.
I hear the voices surround me they try to keep me down
But fear cant keep me wawy
Just breathe it in
Nothing can stop me now
all these walls are breaking for a pathway that's worth taking now
Just breathe it in
It's my time to overcome
Expand and contract my wings to get where i belong.
To feel the pulse in every negative that's tried to keep me down.
To keep pushing against the doubt.
That has nailed us to the grown.
Pull back the mask that hides the nightmare,
that causes all your scars.
They cant haunt you anymore.
Cuz this days is ours.
(solo)
Just breathe it in
It's my time to overcome
Expand and contract my wings to get where i belong.
Just breathe it in
Nothing can stop me now
all these walls are breaking for a pathway that's worth taking now
Just breathe it in
It's my time to overcome
Expand and contract my wings to get where i belong.

You wake up decided you're not excited anymore...
The times are confining there is no denying it.
Electric Goliath, the alter, pariah fit for this new age.
Built like acage.
Isn't it a shame how we all feel so deranged?
When none of us have really changed.
We are just the same
Just as we came
There's a demon at hand that we must tame.
Turn it off
Put it down
Shake it out and don't let it come back around.
Givin the worlds in my pocket,
and I cannot stop it this
ever changing world it sparks and it whirls.
Buy it Buy it Buy it It's so shiny shiny
Buy it Buy it Buy it It's so shiny shiny
Tweet it Tweet it Tweet it it's not needed needed
Tweet it Tweet it Tweet it it's not needed needed
It used to be so simple,
there's a million reasons why,
you should step outside
and realize you're alive.
Isn't it a shame how we all feel so deranged?
When none of us have really changed.
We are just the same
Just as we came
There's a demon at hand that we must tame.
Turn it off
Put it down
Shake it out and don't let it come back around.

Here we are
Off to a new world
Breaking ground
Time to find out who we are.
In so few words I've found from running around.
Time to leave this town.
(There is something here you seem to have forgotten,
you can only heal the would if you continue to push forth distraught and
now it seems you're ready for your own undoing.
Please just try to focus while you piece yourself together
even though ungluing)
And though the world seems to fall around you, just move on.
There are greener pastures waiting in the dawn.
But don't forget those that surround you,
They're all you've got.
Trust in them, yourself, and never a second thought.
Now clearly there's some form of motivation here.
An effervescent vision of something that allows the loss of every fear.
Now tell me why you've come this far.
Are you in line with your horizon?
Are you walking in the dark?
Did you ever consider this before you had embarked (on)
this journey through eternity?
(There is something here you seem to have forgotten,

There are greener pastures waiting in the dawn.
But don't forget those that surround you,
They're all you've got.
Trust in them, yourself, and never a second thought.
I don't know what I'm doing,
it is just a foolish game,
as humans we have the right
now turn around begin your flight.

Finally we should tally up
all the things that have been killing me slowly.
Sever the thoughts one by one until everything is flowing.
Breathe in
No need to feel this way anymore
Broken and weary we adjust ourselves to a more
comforting sympathetic state.
But do you have to throw yourself on to the back burner
whilst throwing your heart into the void?
Not a ryhme
Not a reason
Not a second spared to any and all indifference.
Find yourself in a state of complacency?
Only you can find your way back home.
So please just breathe in
No need to feel this way anymore
(solo)
Breathe in
No need to feel this way anymore
Now all you gotta just do is breathe in
No need to feel this way anymore

(Alan Watts)
You are a fluke
Your are a separate event
And you run from the maternity ward to the crematorium and that's it baby.
That's it
Now why would anybody think that way?
There's no reason for it, its just a myth
And it's invented by people who wanted to feel a certain way
They wanted to play a certain game.
The game of god got embarrassing.
The idea of god as the putter, the architect of the universe is good
It makes you feel that life is after all important.
There's someone who cares
It has meaning, it has sense.
And you are valuable in the eyes of the father.
But after a while it gets embarrassing.
You realize that everything you do is being watched by god.
He knows your tiniest, inner most feelings and thoughts
and you say after a while you say "quit bugging me"
But however you see,
this whole idea that the universe is just nothing at all but
unintelligent force, playing around, not even enjoying it
is a put down theory of the world.
People who had an advantage to make
a game to play by puting it down.
And making out that because they put the world down
they were a superior kind of people
that just wont do
We've had it
Because if you seriously go along with this idea,
you are what is technically called alienated
you feel hostile to the world
you feel that the world is a trap
so if you think that that's the way things are
you may as well commit suicide right now.
Unless you say.. well I don't

Look around
No I dont see a single thing
Of what you resemble resembling
You left us hear standing and wondering
if there is a sliver of shimmering hope that's worth pondering.
( So when are you comin home?)
OH my Lovely Lady Lord of Presence
You came here in the lightning with the bite of the pepper.
Please return to us with light and memory cuz I'd give anything to remember.
Please come back and return to us.
(no not yet oh no not yet oh)
Is there anything that I can do,
to step outside and call upon you?
(no not yet oh no)
Said the voice
that wrote the words
upon the wall
that when I saw
had made me fall
Said the voice
that wrote the words
upon the wall
that when I saw
had made me fall
(Wes solo)
OH my Lovely Lady Lord of Presence
You came here in the lightning with the bite of the pepper.
Please return to us with light and memory cuz I'd give anything to remember.
