Hold me For I cannot do this alone Feel me I'll be trembling on my own I will run to her like a child runs home for curfew I will worship her but will she worship me? Fever Rising temperature Lord I need her If I'm to ravage this world I will run to her like a child runs home for curfew I will worship her but will she worship me? I will see her in the after hour I won't leave her until the morning sun I will run to her like a child runs home for curfew I will worship her but will she worship me?

Parallel 03:46
Well I tried my hardest And I put on my best shoes And walked right away from you 'Cause I can't stand To look in your eyes And see myself staring right back at me 'Cause no one knows the shit That I've gone through To get to where I am right now Yeah where I am right now And I know you feel the same So call out my name Call out my name Well I drove a thousand miles Just to make my way back here And I've got nothing to show for it I passed the bigots And the boys who claim they're men But they don't even know the half of it 'Cause they don't know the shit That we've been through Hell and back again We lived to tell the tale Of all our innocence left standing in the shadows When we leave our skins And I know they feel the same So call out my name We know we are all the same So let's make a name for ourselves Lay down our guard Bypass comfort Bold and vulnerable Like our own prophet We know we are all the same So let's make a name for ourselves You know you are just the same So call out my name

Specter 04:25
You creep around my garden You circle round my head I must be sick I thought that you were dead And yet I feel your warmth upon me Yet I see your face Senses serve only to deceive As I look across the room I see your ghost The disembodied soul I've grown to love the most You peer over my shoulder My hands are tied behind my back How long it's been? I can't tell I've lost track Belongings littered out before My mind cannot erase Memories serve only those in need As I look across the room I see your ghost The disembodied soul I've grown to fear the most As you look across the room you see my ghost The distant heart and soul you long for the most As you look across the room you see my ghost

The Roam 03:26
Follow me to a party Bring a bottle of wine (or three) Join the ants all marching Must we count down our time? There never really was a reason To all our roaming around I guess we'll dance 'till we drop Feel like we're on top 'Till we come tumbling Tumbling down Riddle me this Is there purpose to our toil and time? I'm too gone to remember Have we fallen behind? Now where do we go from here? There never really was a reason To all our roaming around I guess we'll dance 'till we drop Feel like we're on top 'Till we come tumbling Tumbling down I walk with a pace faster than most Every step that I take further from being a ghost The closer that it hits home The further that I will roam From the rise of the east To the set of the west I know I'm no good ‘Cause I learned from the best Now where do we go from here? There never really was a reason To all our roaming around I guess we'll dance 'till we drop Feel like we're on top 'Till we come tumbling Tumbling down There never really was a reason Never really was a reason I guess we'll dance 'till we drop Feel like we're on top 'Till we come tumbling Tumbling down Tumbling down Tumbling down Tumbling down

We built this kingdom of glass and stone Well ain't that wise We gave our time One fifth yours One fifth mine I stole the crown Clung to your gown for far too long Forming bonds that turned to chains As the tide did rise It was beautifully brought together And beautifully fell apart It was quite organic how we came together Even more so when we lost our way We weren't living Just existing Passing time With glass to sand Stone to pebble Waiting for the mend We feel the pull of drowning water We will not go that way We know it's good for nothing better than standing in the rain It was beautifully brought together And beautifully fell apart It was quite organic how we came together Even more so when we lost our way

(R)evolution 03:26
Change Ever moving Ever grooving Change Would you welcome? Would you withdraw? Strange how the times Seem so different and so much the same As our ancestors once told us The disconnect between our brothers and our sons A future driven by the triggers of our guns Change in your pocket In your briefcase Change Would you spare it? Would you spend it? Strange how we all Panhandle and backpedal so well As our politicians try to sell Policies built for profit and built to divide one another But we're intertwined The disconnect between our brothers and our sons A future driven by the triggers of our guns Take a stand Speak your truth and plead your case so loud Silence disbelievers in the crowd The disconnect between our brothers and our sons A future driven by the triggers of our guns

Release 08:02
Home Where there's life Where there's peace Where there's fire In you Me Our light burns Fearful of fever And fear of my own Demise Lies Try to keep alive Feel like a sire Like a mule up for hire Reeling from reefer And pills One by one Thrust Lust Must trust in Feelings and fear nothing As our light burns

Harvest 05:22
Waiting in line to join the Divine Workaholics learn to entwine The dream with the cruel, harsh reality Of soils long harvested and cropped For sale on the black market Patience is an art long lost Savoring the sweet taste of haste is famous as of late Whispering sweet nothing's in our eager little ears As we wait to claim our holy gift We work for all these years We work for all these years I’m a vagabond so free Feeding every feral need Dreams of how it all should be Master of destiny And when the nightfall comes My tired eyes won't shut Without the graceful nod From all whom stand above me In my dimmest shimmer I will hold out hope For those who pine away I’m a vagabond so free Feeding every feral need Dreams of how it all should be Master of destiny
