Look Away 04:25
To begin with discontent and the hours With the black clouds, soaking up all the white What ever I’d retain you’d devour, giving up the chase, Changing planes set for the sky ways (Chorus) Have we been awake too long? Have we been asleep all day? You tell me you don’t like what you see Look away Running your hands through the fire, To warm them and be renewed Scouting the path from the sides, To find out what you drag behind you (Chorus) We will follow close. In our own direction, We have strayed away. Retract, remap, somebody give some recap of the situations that have begun to overlap It won’t change the fact that my mind will stay in tact, There are plenty of facts, but what won’t change is that Everybody’s got something left.

Pilot Light 03:14
To do certain things, and know they are not right Showing up in accord, the fear that weighs in on your life (Chorus) Somebody said something bout a man, who didn’t think He’s at fault, He’s eradicated. ---------------------------------- One by one, brick by brick, If it takes this long, I will submit The examples been made, the long line that follows you around It’s still burning inside, when you’re lying face down. (Chorus) Begin to acquaint, beginning to take shape, looking to hide you forgot you were, something inside of you has died (Chorus)

No Sense 03:25
Circling around aimless unto mind I can’t stop going down, it ends when I die For all the bad things that I’ve done Are useless now, its all been left behind (Taking charge of what is mine) The ball and chain has been left for show Love and pain, you wouldn’t know Striving only to be complete Blast the fuck of any sort of defeat (Taking charge of what is mine!) No sense in being when your feeling regret No sense in following the rules of detest The need for leaving Obvious enough to an untrained eye Killing for sport, another one is gonna die Giving another chance to be set free Yet another day perhaps, its cryptic poetry No Sense - just remember what they forget No Sense - only good can come from it No Sense - speaking only of past tense No Sense - Non Sense! No sense in being when your feeling regret No sense in battling a fight you can win No sense in finding there is a need to pretend I hear it coming, I hear it coming again. There it is, and I within, sifting away, all I gotta do is get it.

Writing on these walls, with some consistency. Never really watched the clock so much before? Meanwhile, someone’s ready for a spotlight. Certain law is in the air again. There is heavy traffic over there. Got the shit… making a run for it Dodging shrapnel again, to serve an invisible witness. Older than the hills…still walking the miles. If I don’t leave now I may never get away. (That’s the funniest shit I have ever heard.) Only 8 years left, I have so much planned. I tend to this orchard because I cannot survive otherwise. You had seen it coming. You knew it would surface. Let me help you, I’m all you’ve got. It’s a great idea if you could just see. Just put your trust in me. Clarity could never mean so much, if you would just Say what you mean.

I’m plotting my escape this season Just to just see what could come of it. I’m doing myself in, again Just for the hell of it. The seamless noise is making waves. Four walls are spanning my horizons and deciding what course will bring. My lying is un-aborted A safe change is wondering. One more miracle I’ve collapsed to my knees once again Flowing water which covers me. I’ve been trapped in a sinkhole again without anyone warning me. The seamless noise is making waves. This room it fills with water This water is drowning me out. One more miracle

Watch and see I’m breaking through this The gates and armies that you have readied I’m getting inside with my eye on the prize I’m defying you without a clue We must finish what we forgot Everything is without a doubt Some time will pass and you will relapse I’m not stopping through, unless of course I’ll build up, just break it down - regardless Only to see my point You are a not a goddess There is a simple little thing I say everyday to Just to make sure I know my place I will do just what I do That’s my policy. I hope to release the dogs out to the prey We can only hope to. Start fighting when you know I’m ready. Don’t try to cast me out Don’t try to sell me out Don’t try to drown me out You are not a goddess An inverted view is controlling you You've become possessed with a pathetic breath Come to realize that there is no disguise Your dying breath, you see no regret Through and through it followed you Seeping through into your youth Looking at the go-round is enough Everything is green its your chance to be seen There is plenty left just make the step.
