The static times between the breaths of those in awe Trick the sensors, blind the guards, and get away scot-free Bad intrusion names the game the stillness plays With bragging rights gripping tight in stifling degree Lone valley drives divide the mountains and the highs Keep us dreaming that we could fly and get away scot-free True elusion never stays the blanket days It always gives in, it always gives in Ahead! See the blur of red A distance to be fed We cannot look away We cannot look ahead See the blur of red A distance to be fed We cannot look away The quiet nights between the troubles and the tries Keep us dreaming.They make our days and break away scot-free True elusion never stays the blanket days It always gives in, it always gives in Ahead! See the blur of red A distance to be fed We cannot look away We cannot look ahead See the blur of red A distance to be fed We cannot look away We cannot look ahead

Ruling the world Taking it as you please I made it myself Got the dollars up to my knees Hands on the table Giving them what they need You build us a glass ceiling Across the world Hands on the table They can never get enough They can never get enough You are what you want Leading the way Showing off your dreams You know it's alright Just working the in-betweens Hands around the table Calling it just in time You shine in our eyes Until we're blinded by all of the lights Mouths around the table They can never earn enough They can never earn enough They can never get enough You are what you want You want what I'm givin' I know you want it

Runners 04:05
From the west the breeze is blowing Through your veins your blood is flowing You run to get to what you want You run like you don't know better Always Such a surprise You're living the lies you tell Always playing the game You make up the rules as you play You look around, you think you're apart But everyone is right where you are In the dark, all so shapeless From your mind you made up faces You run to get away You run so you never have to know No, no, no Oh, what a surprise You're loving the lies they're telling you Always playing the game You're making up the rules as you play You look around, you think you're apart But everyone is right where you are

Hello. Can you hear me? Come in! Are you feeling? A million miles to go Before you're home I'm held to the ground But you've got stars all around And I want to be Wherever you go I make a thousand waves Do they touch you? Calling out Moving through the dark And I want to be Wherever you go
5.
The Same 04:02
On a day like today The sunshine comes with the rain With the clouds coming 'round Night and day look the same Ooo, baby Oh the distance from here to there Feels the same anywhere An ocean to the moon Like you stand across the room Ooo, my baby On a day like today The tenderness and the pain With the world spinning around Everything looks the same Ooo, my baby With the world spinning around Everything looks the same

DITCH DIGGER 03:17
You're looking over the edge You're thinking, “How can there not be a bottom?” You know you want to not want to fall in But you can't not You can't The fall starts slow So you dig in deeper DITCH DIGGER You keep looking back up at me I don't think you're getting out DITCH DIGGER Oh, how can you ask for more? How can you?! A mile down and the quiet ringing out Ooo Maybe it's not too late to pretend it never happened Maybe it's not too late to pretend it never happened Maybe it's not too late It's darker than you could have known I don't think you're getting out DITCH DIGGER No one knows how far you'll go You're gonna find out for yourself DITCH DIGGER

Sugar Spoon 04:22
For every medicine I got a sugar spoon When the darkness comes I burn out all the lights For every unknown face I got a bigger wall When the sun gets hot I got my shades drawn I believe What you say, so I'll come running If you say so In any language I speak the Word of Mouth For every whole I dig I know the way out I believe What you say, so I'll come running If you say so The battle's at my door Who do they think they are? I'm a soldier I believe What you say, so I'll come running If you say so
8.
Your Friend 04:22
I never wanted you I never wanted you But you come around I never wanted you I never wanted you But you come around Yeah, you come around And you fill my home with the sound Of my heart breaking I never wanted to I never wanted to But you carry on Yeah, you carry on And you take my love until it's gone To ground And I could never be your friend No, I could never be your friend I never wanted to I never wanted you But you whisper to me Yeah, you whisper to me That all of this was meant to be My love And I could never be your friend No, I could never be your friend I could never be your friend But I'll be here in the end

Pretty One 04:30
Calling me closer to One by one, through and through My body wants to know it My body wants to know it's true Bit into the aftertaste I'll never taste again Ran into the aftermath I'll count back to the end Every kingdom will collapse Every star will burn out bright Everyone wants to kick you out Everyone wants to make it right The walls along the way Scratch and shred my skin You love to make it harder Yeah, you love to make it harder Make desire make me thin Bit into the aftertaste I'll never taste again Ran into the aftermath I'll count back 'til the end Every kingdom will collapse Every star will burn out bright Everyone wants to kick you out Everyone wants to make it right I can see the world spinning It's blurring all the time Ambition sees your winning hands You wring us 'til we're dry I can see the world spinning It's blurring all the time
