Off Balance 04:08
Last night I thought to myself What is the question and answer to story's end? I felt the words yet I heard no sound Except a full invitation to the ground Picking up the pieces of what's left Building a wall that fails inside Knowing it mends but never fully heals Oh you might not know how one feels Take me away, take me away I feel off balance Take me away, take me away I feel off balance Hope and I pray, I hope and I pray that you'll take me away Hope and I pray, I hope and I pray that you'll take me away You're only happy when I'm fake You won't be smiling at your own, your own wake Just for a moment, I'm happy when I'm down Didn't see it coming, but sure I'm hell-bound Take me away, take me away I feel off balance Take me away, take me away I feel off balance Hope and I pray, I hope and I pray that you'll take me away Hope and I pray, I hope and I pray that you'll take me away When will we come down, come down? When will we come down, come down?

Narrative 02:56
Narrative, relative to how I feel, put a spin on it Spice must flow, uphold the status quo, keep the torches lit Evidence, subjected to the lens, that I see things through Confident, the story all makes sense, so it must be true Trying times, never know who you can trust, put a spin on us Haven't you heard? Can't believe a single word, but the narrative Looking back, it's hard to see How so many so easily Fell in line, and in time they Were the ones, writing the... Narrative, relative to what we are, desperate to control Speak your mind, only if it all aligns, with the narrative Looking back, it's hard to see How so many so easily Fell in line, and in time they Were the ones, writing the narrative

There's something in the air, something I can't bear Are we falling, without warning? Through the looking glass, cold reflection staring See the stranger, face is wearing Hello again my friend, see your eyes changing Hear your voice, words are fleeting Throw it all away, what's left is failing Finding balance, without valiance Who are you? Something's gotta change, something's gotta change Who are you? Something's gotta change, something's gotta change There's something in the air, something I can't bear Are we falling, without warning? Through the looking glass, cold reflection staring See the stranger, face is wearing Who are you? Something's gotta change, something's gotta change Who are you? Something's gotta change, something's gotta change Who are you? Something's gotta change, something's gotta change Who are you? Something's gotta change, something's gotta change

In my own head there's the dream I've been searching for Feel a bit lucid and I breathe the air, breathe the air Find it so hard to bear As I sit here and I wait, I fall into, a gentle dream state Seems to be nothing more to say (more to say) more to say (more to say) More to say And if we play that game again, once again, once again The colorful dream will fall apart Don't it just, break your heart? See the walls closing in, I just don't know where to go I am lost, I am lost...and yet I have found Helps me see when I am blinded, find my way through the mist Now it seems I have found, my way home Visions of light surround my sight, they go out when I want them to Visions I see are blind to me Visions of light surround my sight, they go out when I want them to Visions I see are blind to me

I didn't know, just what it was That kept me here waiting Talk to myself, only because Feel myself straying I didn't see, just what it was That kept me from running Changing the course, alter the signs Just for a moment Sifting through the memories, of what I'm trying to find Consciousness, the stream is flowing, on sands of time I didn't know, just what it was That swept me away Tide's coming in, moon on the rise They keep me from finding Searching the past, no one around Silence is sleeping Sifting through the memories, of what I'm trying to find Consciousness, the rain is falling, on sands of time Sifting through the memories, of what I'm trying to find Consciousness, the stream is flowing, on sands of time

The Question 02:19
As the question fades away, rumors turn to ashes Run the motions day to day, world around you passes No more asking why I'm here, no more curiosity Optimism turns to fear, faith turns to anxiety Turns away, turns away Self-obsessed and unimpressed, no acolyte for reason Off the cuff but on the cusp, in time without a season Pandering to get ahead, slandering to leave behind Entitled to those mislead, who never read between the lines Leave behind, leave behind Challenge everything they say, take nothing for granted Will the question fade away, or rise up from the ashes?

Spiral 02:44
Being pulled through space and time 'Cause freewill's just a frame of mind Unstuck but still a prisoner of fate A man of peace, a prisoner of war So it goes, once again Foreign world I'm on display To stay the course, the only way The fires rising always have Did I live this life or am I mad? So it goes, once again

Dive In 02:53
Colors, start to fade away When I can't get you out of my head Better intentions betray Dreams, turn out to be lies When you say all there is to be said Why don't we drop the disguise? All I ever wanted, was peace of mind Somewhere I could lay my head Still my thoughts were haunted, and now I find Fortunes better Falling, down the rabbit hole When you get to the bottom you see Visions you cannot control Can't, keep it to yourself You're looking through the glass you stain Struggling uphill with your stone All I ever wanted, was peace of mind Somewhere I could lay my head Still my thoughts were haunted, and now I find Fortunes better

Flicker 03:38
So...you thought you lost control I can feel your pain, haunting through the haze I can see you there, in the rain The rain Hold...fast to all you know Path without a name, thought you lost your way I can feel the strain, the strain The strain Hold on, pull the string Fall down fearlessly Saddest song I will sing Fall down foolishly Cold...hands and feet we own Hold my hands a while, warm upon the fire Thought I'd lost you there in the rain, the rain Hold on, pull the string Fall down fearlessly Saddest song I will sing Fall down foolishly Hold on, pull the string Fall down fearlessly Saddest song I will sing Fall down foolishly

Mastodon 03:06
Chill is in the air, sun begins to rise Feel the rolling thunder crack the sky And if we're to prevail, hunt another day Bringing down the mighty beast we slay Gather up your men, like those who came before Put an end to all our tribal wars Days are growing short, ice covers the land Gods above will test the will of man Witnessing the twilight of our ancient way of life Changing seasons, invading tribes have taken all our might The world I see for my children grows darker everyday One last chance to turn it all around Chill is in the air, sun begins to rise Feel the rolling thunder crack the sky And if we're to prevail, hunt another day Bringing down the mighty beast we slay
