Photosynthesis
I wonder will they stay or will they go?
I wonder will there be more to show?
well I know we're down to the last ones
so now we're skinned to the bone and it shows
but you'll always lose, if you cannot choose
it's never ending
now they're knockin at your door
they'll make you eat the words you swore
this never ending assimilating world might choke itself off forever
the world is shrinking faster then the eye can see
the world is gonna grow right over all of me
wind down, walkin so fast with your head down
blood running down from your nose
and what's theirs to gain is ours to lose
it's never ending
now they're kickin in your door
they'll make your martyrs beg for more
this never ending assimilating world might choke itself off forever

Ordeal or No Deal
negotiate this fallen love again
stability has lost her tongue
well I know that it's hard
to clean it up ya gotta lower your guard
twisted heart will never seize the day
do it for you, you gotta do it for them
he gives to them everything he's got
so she puts them on the spot
well love is not some two-faced coin
dependent on who's gonna give you more
moonlight hides and this will force you blind
you are not free your in captivity
and I'll set you free
negotiate this fallen love again
stability has lost her tongue
well I know that it's hard
to clean it up you gotta lower your guard
well love is not some two-faced coin
dependent on who's gonna give you more

used to rely on my soul's design
but every passing day it made less and less sense
wild wide eyes only hide the truth
our lives are restricted to their roots and branches...
that reach
out towards their fallen leaves
what I would do
just to fall away from you
people everywhere asking what do you do
they need to know if they make more then you
the sticks don't hurt but the stones just might
why are we defined by what we consume and devour?
no...
I won't remain a sheep for you
what I would do
just to speak my mind to you

you
you say you own the world and you made all the rules
and it's true,
the sun and stars revolve around you
out of luck,
just trippin by trying to find some truth
in a lie
why won't you try...
to hang on
the well is tapped and all the water is dry
you drift away
the sun and stars forgot about you
they gave up on you
throw away your pride give up your name
the sun and stars revolve around you and me and everyone between
oh no,
I'm not your fuel and I'm not your fire
your alibis
keep adding up looking for the best buy
am I wrong?
the status quo holds you in his arms
you drift away
the sun and stars forgot about you
they gave up on you
throw away your pride give up your name
the sun and stars revolve around you and me and everyone between

oh friend
please come down from your mountain
you've been up there too long
you might feel like your drowning
you don't know who you are...
came down
said you thought you heard voices
and I know what you mean
can you feel all those choices
calling out what you need
they don't know who you are...
can you feel it
coming home?
I'm at a loss of words
where do you go?
now that you know?
I had enough
I can't get enough
I've got these ghosts
my love is not enough
we are lost in the falling rain
we are lost in the fog again
no
where do you go?
now that you know?
I had enough
I can't get enough
I've got these ghosts
my love is not enough

good times come good times go, when will we ever know?
you've been sitting there so long, your life is yours to blow
do you really want it now?
alien times, completely blind, are you really you?
so
go home
leave your will there's no room left...
to fit it in
but I'm your friend
stay by me we will be free
let me in
don't just pretend
I'll defrost your glacier glare again
duties call, so sporadic, obligated to forget
waiting for the obvious to put me to the test
do I really want it? wasn't supposed to be like this?
grab the rail stand up tall don't think about the fall
so
go home
leave your will there's no room left...
to fit it in
but I'm your friend
stay by me we will be free
let me in
don't just pretend
I'll defrost your glacier glare again

Holy Folk
there's something in the air tonight
yearning to disperse bright light
out of focus barely there
if you stare at it, it disappears
when you're alone you've got to be part of
some master plan
hold out your hand
don't try to see what is not there
where does time go?
but still, you think you own the world
you pull the strings and watch it twirl
the things that you manipulate
you forgot to contemplate
where there's a force there is an enforcer
but you'll never know
the cogs don't show it
don't try to know what can't be known
where does time go?
and you know how far it goes when you know what's on your mind
is something there?
how could you know?
is something there?
where does time go?

I have seen this face before
was happy once but now a chore
it's like a dream of a thousand needles creeping up
it's not enough
don't be cruel and fucking vain
this all comes back to you again
I have seen the writing on the wall, stretched down the hall to the door
the locked door
you can't be sure
behind the door

Tidal Waves
the neck starts to itch
the nails start to scratch
and now there's so much blood
what happened to this?
and what happened to that?
we lost it in the flood
tidal waves
and you know what you did but you still want a piece of the action
and you're filled with regret when you see all the mess behind
and you always were told that each action will serve a reaction
so relax stay reserved and resist all this darkness now
let's fly so high
where the birds can't reach our height
forget all this hate take my hand we'll escape together
take just what you need what remains must be left in the mud
in lieu of this,
this precious argument
you offer me your fist
my blood is boiled
my fingers coiled and
I can't resist
tidal waves
you can run for your life but the surge is so strong and bold
you can aim down the barrel but there's always a bigger gun
you can pray to your lord but who owns the righteous god?
you must offer your cheek and hope you might keep your best half
let's fly so high
where the birds can't reach our height
forget all this hate take my hand we'll escape together
take just what you need what remains must be left in the mud
laugh a little at those lemmings down below
cause I can't take this hatred
that brings us blow to blow
after all this, I am frozen in place from this beauty and grace that has shown
to rise above
raise the flag
strike the march
we have transcended
we have transcended
as primal beings
that nobody could see
