Hey, look how far we have all come
and say, we're not yet close to half-way done
Today seems like the perfect chance to
slow it down, breathing with the waves
along side the setting sun
Time can't touch us here
where the trees sleep in sand
and all you need in the world
can be held within your hand
Life is only shared,
forged by no machine or living soul
just molecules are all we understand
Wrong is just a way the righteous fool you
in believing that you don't belong in this world
that greets your wrongness with affection,
allow the universe to dance in imperfection
Time can't touch us here
where the trees sleep in sand
and all you need in the world
can be held within your hand
Life is only shared,
forged by no machine or living soul
just chemicals are all we understand
Waiting, waiting,
planting seeds
one day this hope will grow to be,
something that my eyes can see
the tallest lonesome standing evergreen
Time can't touch us here
where the trees sleep in sand
and all you need in the world
can be held within your hand
Life is only shared,
forged by no machine or living soul
just molecules are all we comprehend
Waiting, waiting,
planting seeds
one day this hope will grow to be
something that my eyes can see
the tallest lonesome standing evergreen

One Question
02:56
|

Words of a blinded fool
dressed up in gold,
it's nothing new,
filtered down into a smaller pill
that's easy to swallow.
But will it stay
when his victims learn more words to say,
'Spit it out I will not follow?'
This built-up tolerance
is giving way.
It could happen any second now,
just one question's all that it takes-
your shelf begins to break.
How could someone put a price on truth?
Do you really think there's one path home?
No amount of faith will comfort you
when they turn off the lights
and you're left all alone.
Just watching the colors change
while every day turns out the same,
just another reminder no one's in control,
and were you ever?
Words of a dying man,
'You gotta get out while you still can,
experience is wasted on the old.'
This built-up tolerance
is giving way.
It could happen any second now,
just one question's all that it takes-
your shelf begins to break.
How could someone put a price on truth?
Do you really think there's one path home?
No amount of faith will comfort you
when they turn off the lights
and you're left all alone,
alone, alone....

Throwing Stones
03:29

A brand-new day,
gotta meet it with a different face,
trying to keep my feet
one step ahead of my mind.
It doesn't matter what I say
as long as someone hears me.
Isn't it enough just to get the chance to say hello?
On a different level, now I see
just how hopeless throwing stones can be.
There goes another piece of me,
lost to an endless sea.
So you see it through
till something sticks to you.
Reach inside to find out why
these dreams were a bit too high.
I tried them on for size a pair of brighter eyes
but they only burn a hole,
missing what matters most or so I'm told.
It's not so easy now I see
just how hopeless throwing stones can be.
There goes another piece of me,
lost to an endless sea.
It doesn't matter what I say
as long as someone hears me.
Isn't it enough just to get the chance to say hello?
On a different level, now I see
just how hopeless throwing stones can be.
There goes another piece of me,
lost to an endless sea.

Dig

We offer just what you need
to fill that hole in your head,
so grab a handful of seeds
or buy a shovel instead.
I don't even know
what I'm digging for
and I may never care
what's beneath this floor,
but I'll keep moving down
under the surface of the earth
with all the anger above,
there can't be anything worse,
worse than that.
Hurry up and purchase a life
as we get rich off your time,
forget those childish dreams,
close up and get back in line.
I don't even know
what I'm digging for
and I may never find
what's beneath this floor,
but I'll keep moving down
under the surface of the earth
with all the anger above,
there can't be anything worse....
I don't even know
what I'm digging for
and I may never care.
