And they wine and dine
Their words are so benign
It's all by design
To disguise the crime
And we fall behind
We see it all the time
We walk the line
We are the ninety-nine
They grow fatter
And we don't matter
While the warnings bells continue to ring
No we won't swallow
And we won't follow
In the steps of an idiot king
They know they are the one
They are the only one
They are the sun
The whole world's waiting on
You know the rest of us
That's nearly everyone
We are the helpless ones
Until we rise and scream as one!
They grow fatter
And we don't matter
While the warnings bells continue to ring
No we won't swallow
And we won't follow
In the steps of an idiot king
No we won't swallow
And we won't follow
In the steps of an idiot king
We won't follow
No we won't wallow
In the mess of an ignorant king

Rearrange

They led you to the door and said goodbye
They left you to your own device
You fell into the motions and crowds
You fell into the easy way out
You - you rearrange
And separate
All your pain
Ah you - you elevate
And medicate
All your shame
So easily
They tried to hold you to stories and lies
They pulled the wool right over your eyes
They turned you over to keep you upright
They dumped you out unchained in the night
You - you rearrange
And separate
All your pain
Ah you - you elevate
And medicate
All your shame
So easily
I'll tie you up to keep you from harm
I'll be your shoulder, your strength and your arm
I'll lead you through the storms and the clouds
I'll lead you through an ocean of doubt

Rage
It's like acid rain
Poison in the grain, metal in our veins
Boomerang
It comes around just like it goes around
Ever-widening (and magnifying)
Hate
The purple haze
Insatiable grave, the lethal maze
Grace
It's a chance we take
Thin as lace, as big as space
Boomerang
It comes around just like it goes around
Ever-widening (and magnifying)

The Turning
03:04
|

avalanches fall, devastate the scene
and we curse the snow and fall onto our knees
rivers cease to flow, and the desert creeps
we denounce the sun, escape into our sleep
It's not the first we've seen of this
Your sorrow is no secret
It's not the last we'll see of this
Welcome to the turning of the earth
Just touch and go with the flow
Reach in to the silence
You never know where the wind will blow
Please keep breathing!
It's not the last we'll see of this
Welcome to the turning of the earth
tsunamis rage, erase the beach
we condemn the sea, our rest is out of reach
broken satellites ring the earth and sea
and we damn the sky and criticize and seethe
Just touch and go with the flow
Reach in to the silence
You never know where the wind will blow
Please keep breathing!
Just touch and go with the flow
Reach in to the silence
You never know which way the wind may blow
Please keep breathing!

Drop the Halo
03:15
|
|||
chained to earth
we yell and wince with purpose
blank the color, toe in the grave
thread the needle
love and fear the promise
overcompensate and stow it away
rob the moonlight
still the hissing waters
thirsty canvas yellowed in light
fight and falter
the truth behind the wailing
standing stuttering, relentless in pride
drop the halo, listen for a moment
feel the gentle truth in a sigh
cool the wonder
cringe with education
overcome with social displays
spike the jelly
compromise the weather
brace the knees succumb to the wave
drop the halo, listen for a moment
drop the halo, listen for a moment
feel the gentle truth in a sigh...
it's okay if you want it (let the flames climb high)
it's alright if you need it (you'll be safe in time)
