Track Name: Control
We're here for your protection
We're here to tell you what to do
We're here for your protection
We've got our hooks inside of you
You would be on a mission
You would think everything was free
You've got a premonition
That sounds like crazy talk to me

We're in control
It's alright to let go

I'm in a traffic camera
I've got my eye on your routine
You think you're clever, don't you
You'll never be so free of me
A busy city sidewalk
A sparrow soaring on the wind
He's got more rights than you do
You might as well bow down to me
Track Name: Sand Castle Dungeon
It's something life beats into your heart
You've got to be down on the bottom before you can start
Breaking free out of a sandcastle dungeon is art
Let the tide carry you up to the top if you're smart
As soon as you see the light of day
Adrenaline's kicking in and you're running away
And it's so nice to feel the free air on your skin
Not looking back at the hole you just dug yourself in
You are the only thing standing in you're own way

Tie a baby elephant to a stone
It will still think that it's stuck here long after it's gone
Who are you to think you can't make it out here all on your own
You break into tears every time that you find you're alone
You built it all up, everything you could possibly want
Then throw it away like a fish that is tired of the pond
You throw it away without a simple leg to stand on
Not looking back till it's over and everything's gone
You are the only thing standing in you're own way
Track Name: Sheep Diamond Wool
Glass made of emeralds and light
Sapphire blanket of sky
All of the trees made of petrified wood
And all of the creatures do as they should

Say you’ve got something that is gonna come and mess it all up
Say that it’s true
Tell me all your secrets, tell me a lie, anything
Put me in a mood
He said or maybe she said that we used to need darkness to see the light
Well, I hope they are right

All of the people are so smooth
None of the hairs on their heads ever move
Wearing their clothing of sheep diamond wool
It’s never too hot out, it’s never too cool

No one ever speaks
No one’s ever ill
Only yawning cries
No one ever dies
Wearing suits made of marble-cut
Just to sympathize with amethyst ties
Everyone is clean, no one ever sings
Same color cars, no need for art
Think we’re so smart
Revolutionaries in the back room
Say it’s coming soon
Hold it in my hand, try to understand
Just a piece of land, water and sand
Every since the birth, running from the earth
What we used to be, you say there’s no need
We think we’re so smart
Track Name: Goodbye
Life is like
Going blindfold face first down a water slide
And it just so happens our slides all collide
So we can get together and slide side by side
But love is war
And continuing along my little metaphor
Sometimes our lines divide and then we slide no more
The clasp was cracked and then we’re cast to distant shores
What did you want to say?

Hand in hand
As blind as lovers building up a house of sand
The tide, it comes and washes away all we planned
We’re left with what it was and I’m a muddy man
We lose our grip
Helplessly we watch as all our fingers slip
And up ahead tunnel forms a new divide
We find ourselves positioned right on either side

And just before you pulled away
You told me there was something that you always really needed to say
Then you pulled away

Now I’ll never know what you wanted to say
And it’s gonna drive me wicked!

Why’s it so hard
To hold on when you’re holding somebody
And then when they’re gone
You can’t let go anymore

All the parts of you that they helped build
Are burning like the sword at Eden’s gate
The hardest part of a blind and backwards water slide
Is something as ridiculous as saying goodbye

And just before you pulled away
You told me there was something that you always really needed to say
Then you pulled away
Track Name: The Greys
I’m singing with the birds
The sun is going down
I’m kicking up some dust
There’s no one else around
Cabin’s fever is high
The doctor comes out and is in
He seems like he’s such a nice guy
With needles prone under his skin

Rumor is I’ve got the greys
Left on the inside to waste
Losing track of the world’s pace
I’ve no mind for my own face

I came here to lose all my time
I’ve been here for who knows how long
If the hands on the clock were both mine
Last night would be coming on strong
Ash that lit up the snow
The quietest storm that you see
(Erase everything that you know)
The hero made off with the show
A shy kiss is the end of me

I’m both in and out of a dream
Wouldn’t call it thinking
Now you’ve poured all the soul out of me
Running on empty
Track Name: Hopes and Dreams
God is in your heart and mind
He's not up on cloud nine
In what you are and what you do
Not some blue-blood who writes these rules

Heaven's for the poor ones who can't find it here on earth

Can't you confess up to it
I thought it was your thing
Trade it all in for a bunch
Of children and a ring
Just disclaim the scary things
Like science and the truth
The world is getting smarter and
We must protect our youth

Can't you live today for today?
Track Name: Moonlight Halo
Take off all your clothes
Go ahead and jump in
It's nearly two a.m.
The water kisses your skin
Now you've got a moonlight halo
Dirt looks fake, it feels so real, though
It's all that I can do to keep from dying, now I'm happy
Pinwheels on the banks a-blowin'
Up is freezing, down is golden
Blankets of stars tuck the world in
Stay this wild until it's morning
It's all that I can do to keep from dying, now I'm happy
Track Name: Bells Begin to Ring
Take this as you will
I become my beating heart when everything is still
And I feel the world in pain
Overflowing like a picture painted on the frame
I’m supposed to think of bigger things
But I get temperamental when it rains
It’s easier to smile in all my dreams
Than hate the hour when bells begin to ring

One day I’ll sit still
Bury me in blankets so I might survive the chill
Of my picture on the stills
Everyone brings flowers that’ll join me while I wilt
I am not the man I used be
Though I know everything I knew and you used to know me
I get temperamental when it rains
I get temperamental when it rains

Take this as my will
Smile and be happy I was living for the thrill
Name a star for me
Then carve my name into a stone and throw it in the sea
I’ve never been so high or so low
As in the sky and in the undertow
Track Name: Storm the Castle
Head to side, close these eyes
Feel the world, it’s turning
Align these scars with every star
Ignore the ground, it’s burning

Blood, it flies, with arrows high
In the fog of war
Birds won’t fly where grown men cry
And then don’t anymore
Through my meal, polished steel
Pins me to the ground
I can’t feel or reveal
That I’m still around

Though these eyes see just fine
Tears cloud a flamed view
It’s not right, but lose this fight
The whole world forgets you

Night falls like it tripped on light
And landed in my soul
The rain brings peace, the fires cease
And embers boldly glow
Soon you’ll see that I will me
A meal for such things
As I’ve stepped on my whole life long
To end their suffering

Trapped inside a man who died
Foot to head with strangers
In full stride, hope was high
No matter what his aims were

A ray of dark grabs me by the neck
I see my home, draw my final breath
