Body Games 04:23
lyrics
Now that we’re not quite so young and dumb I’m disgusted by what you’ve become I know my purpose unlike you Out with the old, in with the new My skin crawls when I hear of your life It took so long for me to see That you stand for nothing You’re a god damn waste of space I won’t relive, I won’t regret Never forgive, never forget And just like you I’ve learned to cope So fuck you, I’ll never give up hope My skin crawls when I hear of your life It took so long for me to see That you stand for nothing You’re a god damn waste of space

The Flying Machine 03:02
lyrics
In place of numbing indifference We felt a vast sense of restlessness We spent our nights making sense of our dreams My thought experiments said We’ll leave this place behind We won’t be found with our heads in the clouds We were taking a stand They couldn’t keep us under their thumb When you were grabbing my hand To warn me of what was to come I lost sight of everything And it was just you and me I mistook the squeeze of your fingers How much of this was a lie? You were tapping your foot while I lingered And ran the circles you rolled with your eyes I’m so god damn sore From this climb towards the sky You know it’s you I did this for But it was all fucking fiction So we’ll make for the sun and never look back Because the truth is inside of us And they can never take that
3.
The Clockmaker 02:47
lyrics
I watched you go, I couldn’t tell If you’d come back to me or come back at all I couldn’t see, what could be done To make you believe that you shouldn’t run It’s like a breakdown of everything we are I have shattered reflections like soldiers in war I can’t remember how to forget So I’ll just keep dreaming I’ll just keep dreaming So here I am, I’m all alone It’s Saturday night and I’m calling your phone And if I could, I’d change the past With just one more chance I know we would last It’s like a breakdown of everything we are I have shattered reflections like soldiers in war I can’t remember how to forget So I’ll just keep dreaming I’ll just keep dreaming So here’s your surrender story A memory of broken glory And I’d be lying if I said I’m over this Now in time we’ve faded Every second shows on our faces Stop the clock!

Fatalism 03:13
lyrics
Father you told me not to tell lies I remember that day because I saw that light in your eyes You looked at me, I looked back at you You spoke simple words I knew to be true But something threw me off course Distracted by change I forgot those words Now I’m using a lens to look at the world I know that I’m sick and I can’t find the cure Father you told me not to tell lies So why do I act like I’m so fucking normal? Why do I say what they want me to say? These temporal fears have eroded my heart For far too long, for far too long Now with trembling lips I’ll cast them away I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees

Above the Clouds 02:45
lyrics
Getting back on The Flying Machine.
6.
White Towers 03:54
lyrics
The honesty of lonesomeness This glow of green gleams in my head No pictures framed, no memories Can bring me to the state I once had lived They’re just second hand thoughts now I get a shiver in my bones When I think of this as home A static voice inside my mind Tells me up ‘til now I’ve been wasting time A lapse of faith in absolutes The farewell search for concrete truth My trembling steps toward rising suns The ocean breeze is now my Rubicon The die is cast, now onward I go I get a shiver in my bones When I think of this as home A static voice inside my mind Tells me up ‘til now I’ve been wasting time
7.
Doppelganger 04:21
lyrics
In the depths of winter I found in myself Something I can’t describe When I calm my mind, it always calls to me This December, I’ll be free Take a picture so you can remember me If memory fails you, you can look back and see The man who I was, who I used to be I was searching for something so desperately Now that it’s gone I almost want to go back Sometimes the truth isn’t what you expect Now that I’m alone I must face myself Their shielded eyes could never see What I see now with this one track mind I’m on the other side Take a picture so you can remember me If memory fails you, you can look back and see The man who I was, who I used to be I was searching for something so desperately Now that it’s gone I almost want to go back Sometimes the truth isn’t what you expect
8.
Patience II 02:50
lyrics
Someone once told me that I could be anything Solemn and bashful I grew Deep in the back of my mind you remind me I’m not quite as charming as you So I’ll go to the sea or somewhere green Somewhere I know will distract And I’ll wait there and see if you’ll fight for me Wait there until it’s too late Wouldn’t you know it I’m feeling regretful My memory’s been fading lately I can’t seem to remember The sound of your laughter Your ribs were my piano keys So I’ll go to the sea or somewhere green Somewhere I know will distract And I’ll wait there and see if you’ll fight for me Wait there until it’s too late
9.
Still Alive 02:51
lyrics
Mankind was not designed To follow all these rules Yeah you and me, we should be free I know someday I’ll find you Walking through the grass I’ll take your hand, just take my hand And don’t look back There’s not much time left for me But still they deny me! They won’t set me loose! But I don’t I don’t act so surprised And as they dig my grave I start to fade away So I scream “Oh god I’m still alive!” That’s when they lower me deep into the ground I need someone to say good-bye to And then I see you watching You’re sitting on a cloud Just tell me it’s okay Won’t you tell me it’s okay? There’s not much time left for me But still they deny me! They won’t set me loose! But I don’t I don’t act so surprised And even from the grave I won’t accept this fate So I scream “Oh god I’m still alive!” Remember me Remember me as a free man
10.
The Stranger 04:15
lyrics
You won't reach out to me No, not this time When I need you the most This helplessness is a stranger to me So I'll just hold on and retreat into my core And I am across the world today And there was a time when I would kill to come back But it's been a while and I feel it's safe to say That nothing is permanent but your memory Now nothing's real to me I've found the time to work through all of my wrongs I was becoming a stranger to myself But now I can see what really counts And I am across the world today And there was a time when I would kill to come back But it's been a while and I feel it's safe to say That nothing is permanent but your memory Dried blood on my hands Here's to the boy who used up every chance On nights that I miss you I'll keep to myself And mingle with dreams ‘til they spit me back out
