Take it or leave it How the earth is full Of mysteries to explain Now that we're leaving Too many stones unturned We've left them in their place Tripping on the universe We'll use the stars as our guide Orion, please lead us home We've been here for an age or two Now we will leave to the sky Turn around, watch it burn We offer the answers Stone by stone we build These monuments to the sky Designed by reason Out of the caves they rise With questions gone awry Tripping on the universe We'll use the stars as our guide Orion, please lead us home We've been here for an age or two Now we will leave to the sky Turn around, watch it burn Turn around (burn) Watch it burn Turn around (burn) Watch it burn Tripping on the universe We'll use the stars as our guide Orion, please lead us home We've been here for an age or two Now we will leave to the sky Turn around, watch it burn Watch it burn Watch it burn

I feel the ocean breeze As it suffocates me Around and around we go on the carousel of the world The open seas, I bleed in the open seas The sharks are coming to devour me I'm not trying to die I can't die if I try Every word you said to me Stings my mind like a venomous spine Stuck for all time Society is killing me So off we go to place our plea On the open sea What's killing me are the states I see Our minds dance in empty darkness Till we set them free I'm not trying to die I can't die if I try Every word you said to me Stings my mind like a venomous spine Stuck for all time Every word you said to me Stings my mind Every word you said to me Stings my mind I am bleeding I am bleeding In the open sea I am bleeding I am bleeding In the open sea

Belay On 03:21
I'm going solo for now But I need someone to help me out Climbing blind through brush and trees Are you blindfolded like me? Belay on, belay on We're just minutes from the top Belay on, belay on We must keep going when others stop We're moving fast so watch your step Don't choose paths you might regret I've never seen the top before But I've never wanted it more Belay on, belay on We're just minutes from the top Belay on, belay on We must keep going when others stop Belay on, belay on, belay on, belay on Belay on, belay on, belay on Belay on, belay on We're just minutes from the top Belay on, belay on We must keep going when others stop

Ghost 03:44
I watched you come undone And I watched you curse the sun Tell them you're leaving tonight Tell them You'll get it right Silver, gleaming back of a chair I saw you, I saw you sitting there You've got a ghost in the back of your head, I heard it's dead You've got a ghost in the back of your head, I heard it's dead You've got a way of running out to the sea, screaming you're free You've got a way of running out to the sea, screaming you're free You've got a picture A picture of life Between the highway solitude And sad lonely nights There's an ancient shadow chasing down your trail I know it shakes you like Heaven, but he looks like Hell She's got enough space for an ocean to grow But the desert won't hold your empty soul You've got a ghost in the back of your head, I heard it's dead You've got a ghost in the back of your head, I heard it's dead You've got a way of running out to the sea, screaming you're free You've got a way of running out to the sea, screaming you're free

I put myself at the mercy of the sun's rays Escape my cancerous ways Running from the life I live in the lion's cage Chained to the beast like a slave We will dry out in the rain Feeling the sweet pleasure of pain Chasing pointlessness in vain Stepping out in front of a train A train Stepping out in front of a train A train We will try our best to escape We will try our best to make our break From this game they call the world From this game they call the world I'm on the lonely side The lonely side The lonely side Of home I'm on the lonely side The lonely side The lonely side Of home All alone We will dry out in the rain (we will dry out) Feeling the sweet pleasure of pain Chasing pointlessness in vain (we will dry out) Stepping out in front of a train (we will dry out) A train (we will dry out) Stepping out in front of a train (we will dry out) A train (we will dry out) We will dry out in the rain We will dry out in the rain We will dry out in the rain

Laying here I fear I'm the only one Who can hear There is no one That can see All the evil things That reside in me What have I become? I've abandoned everyone What have I become? A tortured soul, chemically numb I'm a prisoner in my own skin I am broken, caught in a spin I keep digging away on an unmarked grave And they're begging to throw me in What have I become? I've abandoned everyone What have I become? A tortured soul, chemically numb I don't belong here, I don't belong here I don't fit in I don't belong here, I don't belong here Again What have I become? I've abandoned everyone What have I become? A tortured soul, chemically numb What have I become? What have I become? What have I become?

Play 03:22
Take off your dress Let your skin breathe free from inhibition Open your heart Feel the warmth of mother earth So play out in the rain Let your body free from its cage Play, and you'll be saved When the world enters its final days Like a child So innocent And it takes one to know The ways of the earth Like a child So innocent And they go on to make it But it's time to go So play out in the rain Let your body free from its cage Play, and you'll be saved When the world enters its final days So play, go out and play In the rain So play, go out and play In the rain

Sometimes 03:21
There's a moth flying low tonight It kissed the glass eye of my yellow headlight You'd be the same without me by your side Cause we're holding hands and dying for life And it all feels the same sometimes When the tunnel's looking too bright And it all feels the same sometimes When the tunnel's looking too bright It's mountains when you're speaking And trouble when you don't We're drowning in rivers that no one knows Roads keep curving and darkness flows I'm burning inside for words to sow And it all feels the same sometimes When the tunnel's looking too bright And it all feels the same sometimes When the tunnel's looking too bright When we face the purple sky We see that we have died inside Turning on our backs to see The ceiling of eternity It all feels the same sometimes Sometimes It all feels the same sometimes Sometimes We all feel the same sometimes Sometimes We all feel the same sometimes Sometimes

Keep Coming 02:27
I can smell them on the wind Two hundred thousand men They're building an army to defeat me They're coming for my blood, my sophisticated love They're planning out ways that they can beat me I play the hand I'm dealt I speak out and rebel I'm not going to lay down that easy They say I'm out of touch They shut me down to shut me up They try to blind me from the sights I'm seeing I ate your food I read your news I hunger for the truth in your deception I ate your food I read your news I hunger for the truth in your deception And you still keep coming for me Keep coming for me Keep coming for me And you still keep coming for me Keep coming for me Keep coming for me For me

Lying here in my bed I see images forming on the walls Playing chess with my consciousness Enlightened spirits greet me to evolve So sit back and relax Close your eyes See the world inside your mind You can see true beauty With the tree of knowledge and your mind combined With a split of the double helix I went behind my subconscious mind Only to find When I'm here in my ship I transcend space and time Like something divine So sit back and relax Close your eyes See the world inside your mind You can see true beauty With the tree of knowledge and your mind combined So sit back and relax Close your eyes See the world inside your mind You can see true beauty With the tree of knowledge and your mind combined
