Lifeguard 06:16
All rise hear the verse About some crazy universe You must get closer to the sound Too deep catch your breath Know some wicked never rest Few of the lucky run aground Faces in the sand Guess some beings don't make land Don't even scratch the surface You try don't give in Nobody taught you to win And see that you are still the worst You swim way too slow guess some things don't let go You're still circling in that pattern A meal digests way too fast Guess some memories don't last You're still breathing and that's what matters Sargasso seaweed Guess some floating just won't be Enough to follow you my sun What lurks underneath Not just the frightening deep But all that went over your head You swim way too slow Guess some things don't let go You're still circling in that pattern A meal digests way too fast Guess some memories don't last You're still breathing and that`s what matters Somebody went ................way.....................................way too far

Candy 03:41
That's like candy on the brain Too many feelings that are fucking you insane You've gone too high Come back and see We'll mix the sweet with the sour eventually No more complaints You went to war Coming down from it and you don`t know what it's for Now in your mind When will it end Through all your zeal you forgot about your friends These are the days that you may hate Hanging you upside down and begging for restraint Where is the trust and loyalty Down looks so good when you crawl out of the stream There's things you’ll see unfold When they leave you in the cold Touch that flame see you are still alive Fool of anything you have yet to try Crush that wave until it breaks When you have nothing well you won’t hesitate Though touched by fire The wounds don’t burn Can’t get the feel when you’re waiting for your turn Don’t hold it back Live for the sparks Don’t be the one who is always in the dark There’s things that seem unfair When they leave you in the air Touch that flame see you are still alive Fool of anything you have yet to try Crush that wave until it breaks When you have nothing well you won’t hesitate

Weighing In 04:16
Who knows the fools who just walked by Who of them are worth a try Don’t turn or they might turn on you Or is that what you should do Look back the flashing of the eye Bet you won’t put up the fight Can’t now cause we’re all out of time Way beyond the crimson in your heart And your dreams that fall apart When all along the tears you pull me through There’s something more you knew Than what it means to you now Wolf packs are sniffing around the door You know what they’re looking for Bolt down and never go outside Because you’re in there now to die Seems you can’t now because you and me we’re running out of time All along the tears you pull me through There’s something more you knew Way beyond the crimson in your hearts And your dreams that fall apart And what they mean to you now Fools do take all your time Please wait oh nevermind Magic only for you No way you are the chosen few Emperors cannot decide Dark Empress says you might But The Universe says you are cursed Running out of time All along you’ve been convinced that it bleeds your line All along you’ve been convinced that the gods won’t rhyme All along you’ve been convinced that yours is mine You’re convinced.

Struggle 06:26
Still the bleeding hearts fall apart In the struggle Need a steady hand and a plan for the struggle Thrown into the ring Well you will sing about a struggle Life can pin you down Stick around for a struggle I have winning ways been here for days In my struggle You will feel my moves Take the abuse My struggle You knew that giving in would be too easy You see the spark of truth can be oh so pleasing You’ve been so good at falling apart Were you that way at the start I’ve been fighting the good fight but am I losing I’ve been pushing hard and it’s so fulfilling Not giving in I choose my own That’s what my struggle’s all about

89%/Sealegs 06:03
You're still drifting without meaning We can`t cast off til you wake up There's a hard port ahead And of all things you dread that you crawl into The light crosses the bow Now you will vow that you're crawling out of it You you dance so well All around the truth til I can't tell Clearly which of you I lean toward And clearly down to me to thank the lord Oh the weight that brings me by your side Surely this is how how we’ll collide Nearly now it`s me who leans too far This must be your design below these stars Can he settle with her who can tell If he tries and fails is it just as well You you you you I had a point in mind then the wind blew All the things we carry in the hold Getting close I’m set to explode
6.
I’ve been suffering through my dreams and they haunt me all of my days I researched all four extremes still cornered every way Any ocean I can cross to get to you We’ve been spinning around too fast honey dancing to the hive I looked into infinity and I got too close to decide Any starlit vacuum gets me to you Swear I saw you across the street and you you weren’t looking that good Then when I call out your name you don’t don’t respond like you should Every corner that I turn I just miss you Every corner that I turn the universe expands
7.
All the air’s electric and my eyes have seen the light I remain conflicted in the valley with the blind Been put through the grinder but somehow I came out whole All the things I gave away but one thing that I stole The ground is broken pieces of a shifting chalk outline The crowd is rendered speechless a nation on the decline Feed us to the machine a gaping maw of doom Thank you for the opportunity to be consumed As the world keeps burning down On a path they’ve chosen wills are broken Waiting for those sounds While we`re still rising Still deciding Take your lives and run lest they make you walk the line Dumbing you down further and deny you the divine Peer behind the curtain and see how they build the wall Just to field the sheep still grazing into the fold As the world keeps burning down to the charred remains a sad refrain Will you hear the sound of the new world dying not done crying World keeps burning down from the path they've chosen wills are broken You can`t have me now Not while I`m still rising Still deciding As the world keeps burning down to the charred remains a sad refrain Will you hear the sound of the whole world dying not done crying World keeps burning down on a path that's chosen you're not broken Waiting for the sound of a life still rising Still deciding
8.
Give 06:10
Your eyes are raised and looking outward from here Searching the shadows for a light to appear Came from a place you thought was oh so sincere Now there`s a looking glass where once was a mirror There is a message becoming quite clear You'll give And you'll give And you'll give baby How you`ll give yourself to me Someday the clouds will part and you may see through A shining moment when you'll know what to do Don`t make me come down there and show you the proof If I'm to hurt you and to be your excuse This trip will cost you the price is the truth You'll give And you'll give And You'll give baby How you`ll give yourself to me
