"The Birds in the Sky" East coast awaken in turmoil Walk around inside my feet Somewhere that I've never seen And this is all the same to me Casting stones into the windows Somewhere three thousand miles away Shipping through the air on Saturday While I watch the signal from the air Take a breath and then another Teach me what it's like to be clear Teach me what it's like to exist Beyond the trees and in the sky This won't be deleted or resigned The fiery sternum and in my mind What will it matter anyway? If the birds don't come out today House full of birds in their game In the morning help wake the sun Ready to fly away

"The Fallen Son and Stars" Built from the ground Standing in atmosphere Earth, pain, and sorrows Together in masses This will be the way To his son and stars I'll start climbing I'll trap all the stars On my way I see your legs Trapped in my creation Along with the rest of them They don't seem so sorry They're waiting for the rain To send them to the grave I would fear for their hearts But they want me to fall So close to light My time is almost up The pillar covered By layers of clouds They'll start crying soon Please don't fail me yet Don't drop the stars Cause I can't see yet On my way I see myself Falling with my

"What its Like" Came to me when I sat Drunken acrobats Dirty floor: something more Scratch at this face: allure I felt ok again This time I'm right behind With what I had in mind Sleeping air condition Right until we flew in I felt ok again This is what I needed to forget This is what I needed to feel alive Velvet smooth and you won Skin felt just like the sun Anything for the sun Skin felt just like the sun I felt ok again Hold on bright memories So contemporary Yeah, nowhere else in time Speak comfort so sublime I felt ok again This is what I needed to forget This is what I needed to feel alive Working on forgetting

"Where No One Cares At All" Lying in rivers flowing salt Slow down the shivering then halt We've been waiting for an hour For the mother, here without her And when the devils come again Lower the levels, it won't end They want to claim the arms Pretty girl don't give up your arms Same old song playing mellow waves Cutting through, hearing nothing saves My hands will need another Take hold, you need not wonder And when the devils come again Lower the levels, it won't end They want to end the name Tired girl don't give up your name And when you come along we can take the fall Shut down on the shoulder where no one cares at all

"We Could See in the Dark" Turn out the backlights Can't you see we're trying to hide? Let the daylights burn Pupils open wider tonight We are ready to move Dad will turn the backlights off Running into the trees Let the night's light fire You won't see our shadows here Stories off the ground Everyone is concentrating You won't see our shadows here Alone in solitude Surrounded by the world below You won't see our shadows here You won't hear me breathing here Turn out the backlights Can't you see we're trying to hide? Let the daylights burn Pupils open wider tonight We could see in the dark Jump the fence I'm home A dist

"Wash Hands Boy" How long have you had them? Hands covered in ashes Your burning wings smell Estranged and peaceful Take it off his hands He wants to remember With shiny white skin Hatred free and living Wash hands boy What are you afraid of? He will always be afraid To leave his hands at home He'll cover up his face Surely then he'll realize The feathers on his hands Smell estranged and peaceful The vulture has returned Smooth black feathers on her head She will come back for more His hands will need her now And you will never consume me I won't fall so easily And I've seen vulture wings before You will never feed aga

"The Day We Watched You All…" Cold feeling in the back of my throat To help make the world a better place Patch up the holes in my boat And take it into outer space Where we'll hope to breathe easy When we're not breathing at all Have a drink when things are breezy Take a moment to stand up and fall From above you I could look down View the map and see it's frown Watch the world turn away And when it's all done and wrong We can hang around existence Hold our breath through one more song Show the dead our persistence From above you I could look down View the map and see it's frown Watch the world turn away To another world

"Sick In Her Skin" Something breaks inside of you Let me see inside and through When god won't comply and I Don't know how to fly All alone you sleep real late While I learn how to hate Inside the ally ways Things fall apart these days And you won't let me sleep When things start sinking deep There's no machine for this condition No tired dreams or revisions You can't turn off your brain You're pain eats your bones again Is it useless to say? Sick in your skin you cry Circles leading toward reprise Sick in your skin you'll sigh Closing your daytime eyes Sick in your skin you lie I'll go away for a while I hope you'll ne

"Return to the Hospital for the Compulsory" Turn it back... turn it back Turn the hands back Days are easy... nights worse When kids are under the curse Knowing reality never dies Their minds increasing size Controlled not by reason Impulsive and freezing With their hands turned blue It's not so easy and new They're no longer young Grown with their lungs Turn it back... turn it back Turn the hands back This frame shows ware and tear I'll do it right, I swear Days are short… nights long Are they aware they've done wrong? Knowing the good times really lie It never makes them cry Crawl through society Die through sobriety

"Leave Me Here… I'm Never Getting Up" Grass growing on my body Roots in my eyes and my mouth I'll swallow all of my words They'll never reach the surface Communication ends now I can never speak again Motivation never shows Now that I'm not kinetic Take away everything dear I don't need them anymore I might turn rings into lines They start here and end in time I'm not OK anymore Now watch me fail history Watch me fail the only ones The only ones that love me Living like this is surreal I can't get out of the ground You can't cut me out of this Just let the earth swallow me Let it use the life I have If it does nothing f
