1.
Soon it will go dark Try searching for a spark From the charge In the air Lost pilot in flight I’m reaching for a light For a trace You were there Never held a higher hope Sailing from the western coast For a sign I was here Soon it will go dark I’m searching for the spark From a charge In the air
2.
Lost Again 03:18
Be on your way Choose a door Left alone again With all your flaws A known accomplice to those people in the know We are lost again upon the road We laid to waste Libertines Through belated eyes Abandoned and indistinct I won’t pretend discarded dreams will cease to be We are lost again beyond the sea Our testimonials mean nothing in the end We are lost again into the wind This screams impossible So antithetical Banish the thought inside your mind Let’s end the mystery Rethink the remedy Score one for none before it’s time
3.
Fool Dawn 07:24
In America No voice too small Found the leverage To best you all Invoke the Holy Ghost To seal your souls And know the enemy As fools must fall Awake fool dawn Some may move on They stand by their man while they can ‘til their vices are law Await fool dawn Do so I say so all wrong Beautiful failure Deep in dismalia They aim to sublimate, to surrogate The truth as you’ve known There goes a fast one See how the story moves Skeletons on ghost ships Listing west Perilous Awake fool dawn Some may fight on They stand with their man if they can ‘til their voices are raw Await fool dawn
4.
Common Law 02:30
You tend to suffer for a purpose You want to seize upon the slightest pretext I went searching for it all night Each mile brings us closer to the light Yeah We made no mention of The Magi Amount to nothing if our losses multiply Fear love for common love Fear law for common law Fear law for common love I shook all those hands I should never have Redefine what put you on the map then I hear you need the pulpit To make ‘em fall in love Beyond the breach of disillusion Among the losing crowd you’ve got it all now Nerves in spades in spite of the danger There’s a future laid upon us Followed by a past that’s made to last I know there’s nothing good to find relying on a time Throw one back you’re less one but half right Fear love for common love Fear law for common law Fear law for common love I shook all those hands I should never have
5.
Become a little bit closer To the curious case of now We were defending antiquated losses I must seek forward Now Get your dress on It’s the custom A chokecherry of the heart’s design Do you see them Swinging on a pendulum Hail Mary where the lost collide We were pretenders on a lonely ride At the furious pace of life We run a certain risk of ruination Of complications A new cure for you the obscure In the end we’ll have our say You won’t sway the words in the way On the hunting ground all day Now Get your dress on Such is the custom A chokecherry of the heart’s design Do you see them Swinging on a pendulum Hail Mary where the lost collide When the world says no Then we burn this down They come around They will reap and sow We will know no bounds They come around They come around When the world says Then we burn this down They come around It’s high time for the comeback kind To the junk hive mind A final decide
6.
Search Party 03:54
Finish lines Streak across this broad horizon Warning signs Present themselves but no one stops them The party ensues are you no one yet Left alive and barely breathing Leaving so soon this is what you get For words, regret and a show of feeling Search and divide So we move with the time Some are left behind and some become the danger Much maligned A chance to sing a greater meaning What we find A shallow heart and self-defeating I picture a higher voluminous light Held aloft and understanding I am beginning to open my eyes Suddenly I am alone and standing Search and divide Fell the moon with the tide Some are left behind and some become the danger and we Foster and hide In our own precious minds I am called away to grow into a stranger meanwhile Alone where you live and alone when you die I couldn’t find a faith worth keeping When medicine fails and you’re trying to fly Over the mess there is hidden reason Search and divide So we move with the time Some are left behind and some become the danger and we Foster and hide from our delicate lives We are called away to grow forever stranger
