Parcel of Love

Never will I learn
Never will I learn
Never will I learn
Gut and intuition
Never will I learn
Comes a parcel of love
Comes deceit
Comes a parcel of love
Comes deceit
A perfect love
Perfect love
Never will I learn

Wise
03:45

There was a time when you were wise
More than a plasticine figurine
Frankensteinian figurehead for those still playing broken telephone
I hope you see it's you they own
Guess what I found when I was tried
For all the wrongs they just had to right
Some don't make it very far from those still playing with their stones
Blooded hands build bloody thrones
You are a thousand wishes
A thousand sighs
A thousand ways to read a lie
You are a thousand egos
Fed with greed and gold
You are the silencer and the gun they hold
Thou shalt not kill
Do you hear the silence
Thou shalt not kill
Do you hear the silence
Thou shalt not kill
Do you hear the silence
Breaking
The horror lives and it is well
The ravage of a second will
Birth a trauma

Bitter Heart
03:30

There you are again
Cards in her hands
She plays you follow and fall
Recurring recall
Search her eyes again
For what she recognized but never owned
She plays you follow, but fall
Silent, you're silent
Over and under, thorough
Through and through
Apparitions shouldn't mean a thing to you
Apparitions
Deserve no explanation
Bitter heart, oh bitter heart
You bitter heart
Oh bitter heart
Bitter heart
Life goes on
When you let go
You know what you know
And all of this is you
They see what they want to see
And all of this is you
All of this you
You know what you know
And all of this is you
They see what they want to see

Traces
01:39
|

|
Why do we grasp at the air
For traces of the dead
Try as we do to immortalize
The fading away
What is next to go?
The tides of time
They rise and fall
They claw and claim
They wash it all
What is next to go underwater?
Underwater.

Army of One
04:05
|

An army of one
Cast out by shadow
An army of one
Raises its flag
An army of one
Sits by a fire
Sits by a fire for you
For soon a time will come when
Life drowns and turns to dust in the
Hands of a mighty flood
And then it's done
And then it's done
And you begin
And you begin
Yea you begin
Imagine living
Living
And you begin
Yea you begin
Breathe it in
Imagine
An army of one
An army of one
Born of the flood
Born of the white flag
An army of one

The Likes of Us
03:12
|

|
I could never
You'd never get it right away
There'd be too much
Ground to uncover
This place is not built for
The likes of us
The likes of us
The likes of us
Break your own heart again
Shapeshifter
You break your own heart again
Break a heart
You break your heart
Blue skies
Will you have me if I
Come to you
How will you defy them?
How will you defy them?
How will you defy them?

Island
04:18

Clouds
In a brain
Won't go
Away
Dark
In a heart
No longer
In it
But it keeps
Overwhelms
And thrums
Without end
Can't stay here
Waiting for change
We can only try
And know that when it's time
There'll be nothing left to do
Or say
For all of this
Is dusty sand
Dirty haze
Empty hands
All of this
Is dusty sand
Dirty haze
Empty hands
Still an island
Unready
Faraway
Still an island
Unready
Distant
In our eyes
Taken
By the sky
Light (Artificial)
In a dream (Artificial light)
Nothing
To be caught up in
But it keeps
Overwhelms
And thrums
Without end
Can't stay here
Waiting for change
Can't stay here
Waiting for change
For all of this
Is dusty sand
Dirty haze
Empty hands
All of this
Is dusty sand
Dirty haze
Empty hands
Still an island
Unready
Faraway
Still an island
Unready
We can only try
And know that when it's time
There'll be nothing left to do
Or say

Traveler
03:14
|

|
Don't scream
I get so small
Fall away
Fall away
Into a dream
Anesthetic Wall
I could go there
But I don't
Still I will be
A traveler
Will you walk with me where I am
Will you walk with me where I am
So casual
Is your cruelty
This peace
It's fragile
How do you do it
So casually
I could fall away
Fall away
Still I will be
A traveler
Will you walk with me where I am
Come walk with me where I am
Will you talk with me here I am
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
