LYRICS
It’s up to you
It’s up to you
It’s up to you what you do
Those of that choose
Can’t lose
Those of us that don’t
Won’t

If 1 + 1
Equals 2
Then facts are facts
It is true
Those of that choose
Can’t lose
Those of us that don’t
Won’t

It’s up to us
Wilderness?
Those of that choose
Can’t lose
Those of us that don’t
Won’t

bookmark_borderFrom The Ashes

LYRICS
No way, uh-huh, I’m not mad
In fact, I am rather glad
Sad sack is leaving
No more deceiving
Fade the days gone bad

From the ashes, sparks and flashes
Going to rise again
From our hopes dreams we mean
Ending end to begin

No way, uh-huh, I’m not mad
In fact, I am rather glad
Gone is insanity
From our humanity
File under “had”

From the ashes, sparks and flashes
Going to rise again
From our hopes dreams we mean
Ending end to begin

LYRICS
Way deep down inside your gut
Freeing yourself from the rut
Forging a path
Away from wrath
New lease on peace

Way deep down inside your heart
It is time for a new start

Away from wrath
New lease on peace

Way deep down inside your head
Why not put the past to bed
Forging a path
Away from wrath
New lease on peace

LYRICS
Teeter tottering
On the very tip of civilization
Children toddling
On the brink of starvation
Our father figures
Abandon their posts
My mother and yours
Are white as ghosts

Teeter tottering
On the very tip of civilization
Elite doddling
Overlords of deception
Our father figures
Abandon their posts
My mother and yours
Are white as ghosts

Teeter tottering
On the very tip of civilization
Emotion bottling
On the verge of explosion
Our father figures
Abandon their posts
My mother and yours
Are white as ghosts

LYRICS
Don’t know if I’ll make another round
Guess we’re gonna see
Seem to’ve lost my equilibrium
Not quite certain where I am
Not quite sure
Turned to blur

Don’t say no! I’ll make another round
Guess we’re gonna see
Seem to’ve lost my equilibrium
Not quite certain where I am
Not quite sure
Turned to blur

Starting to get my second wind
Getting to know who I am…
… again
Not quite sure
But some more

LYRICS
After all, ohhhh so tall
House of cards starts to fall
All the king’s horses and all king’s men
Couldn’t put the charlatan together again

Stacked them up way too tall
House of cards starts to fall
All the king’s horses and all king’s men
Couldn’t put the charlatan together again

Populace made the call
House of cards going to fall
All the king’s horses and all king’s men
Couldn’t put the charlatan together again

Watch him cry. Watch him ball
House of cards fall, fall, fall
All the king’s horses and all king’s men
Couldn’t put the charlatan together again

LYRICS
Look what we’ve done… did…
In…
The name of id
Forego, ego, etal, intel
’em all
Who would have thought
Sister and brother
Turning on mother…
Nature
In the name of the rapture
To capture
Their forefather
Sister and brother
And their other
Alter ego, you know?
Forego ego
Ragin’ id to be fed
Look what we’ve done — done

LYRICS
The stone is skipping on the surface
As if it were a pebble on a piece of glass
A couple, triple, quadruple… doubled
Appearing to defy the laws of physics
Sick! Quick
At attention surface tension
Chill
Think twice
Does it have to be ice?
Solid? No liquid
Know liquid
Go with the flow
At last you might find… it’s a gas

Every time I try
I further know why
Always learning something new

The pitter patter of the rain
Really starts to rack my brain
Listing to the chaos
Fall among us
(It’s all around us)

The spitter spatter on the drain
Really starts to rack my brain
The drip drip drop on the drain
Really starts to rack my brain
Listing to the chaos
Fall among us
(It’s all around us)

The rising smoke like a chain
Really starts to rack my brain
Listing to the chaos
Fall among us
(It’s all around us)
