The Engineer 06:24
The sound waves come through with laughter From the far age, but nowhere after They're the signs that tell me the otherwise lifeless truth What could be so tender when the sun gives youth To render both night and day Yet stumble across the threshold to fumble it away
2.
Away 06:39
What would it even matter If I shouted down your telephone wire And told you 'bout the lives that shattered All the cities that you caught on fire Now wait up for just one sec You're not gonna want that water above your neck So hear me out, you're gonna have to go on your way Away Make your way out This might be a surprise to you and if so Then you'll just have to come to Shit gets old after so long and now it's Off on our own way There's no goin' back to stay You should learn to pick your battles 'Cause you might go and hurt yourself See, I need to rid myself of these schackles To get my ass out of your own hell Let's please make up that's what you'll say I can read your soul and it spells betray You're not gonna want that water above your neck So hear me out, you're gonna have to go on your way Away Make your way out This might be a surprise to you and if so Then you'll just have to come to Shit gets old after so long and now it's Off on our own way There's no goin' back to stay Away

Lucidity 08:40
You'd think A wishing person paves their way When you blink It's bright at night and dark at day Riding out the storm, you're locked away, deep in thought, discerning what begets you So counteract the force that's trapping what you knew before with consequences out the door No, no I say To patterns moving awfully strange So they, so they claim To riddle me with black and gray But today, there's no way Rising All through the misty atmosphere And falling Back on down to what is clear Lying eyes will veil what is locked on up with everything else that is out of view But keep in mind the roads are paved for you to ride along the waves that will surround you No, no I say To patterns moving awfully strange So they, so they claim To riddle me with black and gray But today, there's no way Looking A missing person fades away And losing What once was you has gone astray Your eyes see the skies are caving in, once you begin, you can only struggle To break the ties, you're gonna need to clear the brush aside and leave the things that will control you No, no I say To patterns moving awfully strange So they, so they claim To riddle me with black and gray But today, there's no way
4.
I'm walking along On the edge of town But I feel like I can turn this around And bring it down down down We've paced across these fields too long To the west I'd stay And all the while my eyes are numb And blinded with the sight of gray I'm slowly Coming forth to see All that lies before me All that is to be Run round and round and round and round It's cutting me to shreds Feels like a sudden cough That'll bring me to the very end
