Cage

LYRICS:
And on the land where nothing grows, in under trees, abandoned homes, houses burn where fountains flowed. The motor age and no one goes.
They built a cage, with the steel of the blind men, that's overflowed. Overflowed and destroyed them.
The factories have closen down. They've given up their dying town.
They built a cage, with the steel of the blind men, that's overflowed. Overflowed and destroyed them.

LYRICS:
No one's home, I can tell. The woods have stayed the same but the devil there has changed. You claim you're there but you fell. Branches didn't break your fall. They've left you've bruised and maimed.
Now I've turned around and plugged my ears. I don't want to watch it, the sum of all my fears. Your memory is modified by those who cannot see.
Broken bones they can't sell. I tried to pick you up again but you don't move the same. You claim you're there but you fell. It's true that you have family. They'll die chasing you're fame.
Now we've all turned around and walked in tears. You don't want to watch it, the sum of all your fears. Your memory is modified by those who cannot see.
well, come back home. We'll welcome you with open arms and forgive all that you say. Well, come back home. You're scared that you're not moving forward and to turn back you're afraid.

Guilty

LYRICS:
It's dark but I know better.
There's diamonds on your tongue.
Bright light echos.
North to home.
Are you scared of the hospital?
The hotel death scene?
A ghost town?
Do you feel guilty?
The fearful static between
children smoking cigarettes.
Their hands are never clean.
Oh, bashful, brooding teen.
You're not my son.
Look out.

No Light

LYRICS:
Black hole
carved so deep into the forest floor.
A wall
of the tallest trees surrounds the darkest caves door.
At the bottom of
the world so far above,
found the finest collection of
feathers and skulls and skin all for us.
Under miles of dirt we've found our new home.
Buried so deep, now we're always alone. Into
the dark our foundation grows.
We don't need light when the light doesn't come so low.
We'll all be alone.
Until the foundation grows.
We'll all be alone.

Wyatt, Night Queen

LYRICS:
Dark night
swooping in to steal the night.
Sand's poured.
The flames go out without a fight.
If I die,
my flesh belongs to dirt and worms.
But I'll fight.
My soul has followed close your words.
Your words.
Where on Earth am I? Oh my god, I'm blind.
Where on Earth am I? I won't come back this time.
When I left.
You waited for my return.
I was lost.
Ready to rot and burn.
I came back
scarred and beaten from the woods.
I boarded the doors.
Hold out the wind and demons, it should.
Where on Earth am I? Oh my god, I'm blind.
Where on Earth am I? I won't come back this time.

LYRICS:
He arrives.
In only so many short words,
the light there
is difficult to describe.
And I may deny
in my so many short words.
At least I've picked my side.
And I travel far
to learn what I already know.
With ghosts at my heels,
I'm gone.
And I am a son.
You've learned what I already know.
Though, it may not please
anyone.
Short steps.
Through the woods, I'm sneaking off.
You say I'm a coward
in your eyes.
Short breaths.
Through the trees, I've made it off.
Imagine who you are
in mine.
God grant me the sight
to see through this evil veil.
I'm scared my enemies
are right.
And I arrive.
In only so many short words,
at least I've picked my side.
Wind
on the water.
I am gone.
So lost.
Gold
in the rocks
far from home.
So lost.

Take Everything

LYRICS:
Of course, I can't lie. I'm not happy with who I am and I used to care enough to pray and expect change again. One day they'll know I'm part of the bigger problem. I'll be catalogued as one of them.
And I don't want to live long enough to begin to die and wake up one morning to a new world war outside. I've realized this is everyone before and alive.
It's not hard to give with everyone so willing to take
and fold you over and over till all your edges break.
We can take back! We can reclaim our lives! Fight off the weights tied onto our side!
We'll be catalogued as part of them.
We'll be catalogued as all of them
and I've realized I'm one of them.
I've realized, I'm one.
