Children only take what you can carry in your arms You've got to make like bats in the night There's people around here that want to do you harm You'll find a space where you don't have to fight Leave your mother to herself She needs a moment to herself Never thought we would leave this place We would leave this place Throwing dead bodies off the side of the ship Staring at your friends wondering, Who's going next? Some find love, some go to find heaven Sometimes I swear I see faces in the midst Children we're the lucky ones We are God's daughters and God's sons We know where we're going and where we're from Don't you ever forget Don't you ever forget Didn't think we'd have to leave so soon to go west Leaving tracks in the snow with your bloody feet Had to burry baby girl in the frozen earth Sometimes a mother wonders why she gives birth Walking from the sunrise into the sunset Sometimes I swear I see lights in the west Sometimes I hear voices calling our names Children we're the lucky ones We are God's daughters and God's sons We know where we're going and where we're from Don't you ever forget Don't you ever forget

100 Pieces 03:23
Money jangling jeans This time we mean to pay And buy back the pieces Of my dead soul Dead soul, man I sold 100 pieces and lost myself Tables turning in temples No more exchanges 'round here Torn down the middle We stood here watching it come Here it comes, man I sold 100 pieces and lost myself 100 hancocks scribbled down I sold my name one by one It might not be kosher But this taboo pays my bills Pays my bills, man I sold 100 pieces and lost myself

Ascension 04:41
Words and hands are all that bind There's an understanding undefined I'll ascend a higher climb Transcend every natural mind I'll be lost In a cloud that's mine Only clearing for the sun Words and hearts are all that blind Misunderstanding well defined We all descend before we climb Transcend from an impure mind I'll be lost In a cloud that's mine Only clearing for the sun

Move My Feet 04:02
Light breaks before the sound Still my heart tells me, Just keep running All that sparkles blinds my eyes Still my heart tells me, Just keep running Astroturf grown in plastic earth All the kids in virtual houses No one's happy but no one's hurt Still my heart tells me, Just keep running (Oooo) We better talk I held forever in my hand Still my heart tells me, Just keep running It's the knife of eternal youth Still my heart tells me, Just keep running I felt the drums beating in my chest Move my feet, move my body Glitter hides all of our unrest Still my heart tells me, Just keep running (Oooo) We better talk No one's happy but no one's hurt

Golden Ratio 04:21
Forever mine, forever yours, forever circling around our fingers Forever's going to fall Failing to see, failing to look, failing to read beyond the pages Every man's a crook Painted picture's sweet lies I want to hold them in my golden mind If I could trace your skin and watch all the lines entwine I'd see Perfection on the cross Prudence will beckon separateness - to take forever off our fingers and feed it to the wolves This golden ratio that spiraled in my mind's no more This golden afterglow that I imagined is no more Take back this silence, take back these words, take back eternity Every man's a hook Cast me away, send me no line, no sanctuary Every man's a crook Painted picture's sweet lies I want to hold them in my golden mind

I don't really want to see you as one I don't really want to see you as two I talk to strangers in the mirror They're always telling me to run Don't walk, just run They all get shattered I can't love you anymore I've got to right you a letter It's not even to even the score It's just I don't want to be brought so down Down When everybody's come undone I don't want to come undone I'm dizzy 'cause the tap only drips It's been creeping up around the corner And I'm steel inside Cold, hard, aching bones Heavy handed A warm breeze is blowing but it won't get to me I can't love you anymore I've got to right you a letter It's not even to even the score It's just I don't want to be brought so down Down When everybody's come undone I don't want to come undone I put out but I'm not ready to give I step down but I'm ready to reign And I'm steel inside Cold, hard, aching bones Heavy handed There's a warm breeze blowing but it won't get to me I can't love you anymore I've got to right you a letter It's not even to even the score It's just I don't want to be brought so down Down When everybody's come undone I don't want to come undone There's no longer room for you

New King 04:06
I was awoken by a hundred wizards With the smell of blood, smoke and burning gizzards They wrote the book of the prophecy and I swore that the evidence was pointing right at me I'm the new king I stood out in the cold of my misery So I took what was mine as far as I could see I could say, Off with your head, and fill you full of glee There ain't a man that talks as beautiful as me i'm the new king I was born inside a dead man's chest I fought the hords with a jawbone of an ass I went to the temple where I was blessed There is a sickle carved inside my crest I'm the new king

You're a sage in your heart but a fool on the stage A mouse in the field but a lion in a cage Between heroes that die and cowards that live We could give up the night and just try to believe Through rewrites and rewrites we fix all our thoughts Stretch spirits for divine light we have sought Repeat and repeat, reload and reload Stand up in the now, fall back like before Because they're young They're going to fall down, daddy Because they're young Because they're young They're going to live forever Because they're young I've seen you fall I've seen you hurt all night You're supernova heart I've tried to contain Keep up the facade You can wear all these faces With your trembling hand Held in the air Count survivors Drawn like soldiers Hearts all glowing Eyes like vectors Because they're young They're going to fall down, daddy Because they're young Because they're young They're going to live forever Because they're young All my brilliance goes When you blow wind blow I'll be a tyrant king A self-devoted being My instincts urge to reign To navigate my brain And when you mutiny I'll set your spirits free Because they're young They're going to fall down, daddy Because they're young Because they're young They're going to live forever Because they're young

Close my eyes still I hear the sound Shut my ears still the colors fill my head The truth would always illuminate The truth is there's a darkness out there And i don't want it in here Tell a mother this is your daughter Tell a father this is your little boy Two guns are the Greco killers In a vest like a horse made out of wood We were sleeping like Troy I wanted to turn off all of the certainty I tried to ignore all the reality But a finger reached in and burned it into my brain Forgive don't Forget Little children don't you leave your mothers I don't know how buoyant our hearts are I hope you're full of elastic parts We leave to you the burden of proof An apology for love I wanted to turn off all of the certainty I tried to ignore all the reality But a finger reached in and burned it into my brain Forgive don't Forget My thoughts hit an aposiopesis The voices in my head want to descent The truth was always a luminary The truth is there's a darkness out there I want to keep it out there I wanted to turn off all of the certainty I tried to ignore all the reality But a finger reached in and burned it into my brain Forgive don't Forget
