Songbird in the tree
Take my hand and come with me
Don't you want to fly?
Breathe and count to 3
Shadow dweller soon to be
Songbird in the sky
Who's unafraid of the mountains?
It's only darker days that you're counting
Through the haze
Who's unafraid to live?
Who's unafraid of the fire?
Coming from a strange desire
Find your range
Who's unafraid to live?
Out in the wild, a new home, I am free
Shout as a child, all alone, "please help me"

Blue

Why are thunderclouds gathering over my head?
Think I'd rather be anywhere else instead
The sky blocks my view
Relentlessly blue
Always hiding away from the sun
No excuses you should be having fun
Deeper waters are tighter and ever more dim
Why should I use up energy trying to swim?
Then tell me why
I see a creature in the corner of my eye
Pretty please
Can't someone else do something put it all at ease?

She told me, she told me everything and more
Your memory, your memory will live on i'm sure
Coz you never were shy in saying "what about me?"
Ooh too long overstaying, set her free
We all have demons we don't need yours too
Coz brown vision makes it darker
In your prison we're all feeling blue
Heading for disaster
Slowly, isolation broke your soul
If only, if only they'd do as they're told
She refuses
He abuses
When he chooses
It confuses me
Cuts and bruises
Everyone loses
When he chooses
It confuses me

Chisel and Hammer
04:39

I sold my soul out to the crowds
They looked at me and shouted "who needs your bloated opinion?"
But they all feed off silver spoons
Read propaganda in the news with a tunnel vision
Guess i oughtta make a scene
Standing round waiting for something to happen
Common sense against a team with a baby blue banner
Who spilled coffee on my jeans?
Stupid little fucker doesn't know what's coming
Fat old men will build your dream with a chisel and hammer
Ooh what'll come of these fallacies
Who needs humane humanity?
The cost of freedom isn't free when you're stuck in a prison
Too much to ask for equity
It's always better for the people if they make the decisions

Creature

Creature walking all alone
Do you know that there's water in the stone
You're trying not to panic, but the world is always getting in your way
Oh put on your favorite sweater and tomorrow will be better than today
Falling from grace, fall into place, she blew a kiss then left without a trace
Falling in line, turn back the time, only she sends shivers down your spine
She will run, run back into your arms
Because getting its way is the nature of the creature's charm

Liquid luck

Big bad alpha man don't you think it's time to go
Keep on winking at people that you hardly know
Ooh baby when luck is on your side
She'll ask you to take her for a ride
Mr Confidence keeps on having more and more
1, 2, skip a few always ends up on the floor
Ooh baby when luck is on your side
Home may be a better place to hide
Go crazy for being young and free
Drink away your boring sanity

In her wake
02:59
|
|||
|
An impossible feat
She wanted each and every for herself
Her parasitic health
Turned into a leech
Latching on the youth within her head
So she became instead
A magnificent beast
She dug her fingernails into your neck
Until you fell asleep
Her carnivorous teeth
Were Glinting in the sun to full effect
Your eyes were blinded by them
Corrosively she shows emotion without feeling
In her wake leaves coldness in the ceiling ooh
She was acid for her people
Patience bursting at the seams
Such abrasive mannerisms
Her invasive sense of being
Paradise won't suffice for me
Try as i might to fight the ear-piercing peace

Burrow (Scary earth)
04:40
|
|||
|
There's a spirit in a dim lit place
Looks of frailty upon his face
What of his words?
Nobody's heard
What of his mind?
Hidden behind
Peering out into the open air
Noises pummeling from all around
Feel like burrowing into the ground
Resonant shrieks
Never cease
From butterflies
Living inside
Won't fly away
Peering out into the open air
Such a scary earth it is out there
