I heard the whispers from the mountains to the seas
The winds of time they tell a story
If you listen to them patiently then soon you'll recognize
The might of great-king Nabonidus one day will be stolen from his sight
Biding my time, I will find his treasures
Til then, I'll play along with his fake prophecy
Secrets of untold wisdom
Too deep to comprehend
Tools crude but instrumental
Help unearth these artifacts
They're left here for a reason
So great I must confess
Their ancient powers grant me
Right to rule this universe
Buried deep inside the crypt
Lost to time, never thought to be found
I'll have them excavate their trinkets, riches, jewels, and gems
I've heard the rumored secrets under lock and key
The trove of wonders lost eternally
Guarded by ancient beings too frightening for your eyes
Their presence induces a vision of life after you claim their fabled prize
Biding my time, I will find his treasures
Til then, I'll play along with his fake prophecy
Secrets of untold wisdom
Too deep to comprehend
Tools crude but instrumental
Help unearth these artifacts
They're left here for a reason
So great I must confess
Their ancient powers grant me
Right to rule this universe
Amongst the ruins you'll find
The ruins take over my mind
Amongst the ruins I'll find
The key to untold wisdom
I can hear them calling my name
The path to fortune and to fame
The ruins call me I believe
They'll solve this ancient mystery
Secrets of untold wisdom
Too deep to comprehend
Tools crude but instrumental
Help unearth these artifacts
They're left here for a reason
So great I must confess
Their ancient powers grant me
Right to rule this universe
Buried deep inside the crypt
Lost to time, never thought to be found
I'll have them excavate their trinkets, riches, jewels, and gems
Once I've unearthed everything
There will be nothing left underground
I'll lock the precious metals somewhere surely that cannot be found

I find myself walking through the halls of life
When my health leaks right out of my brain
And the cards I've been dealt
Wash it all down the drain
I guess this royal flush made me go insane
I lost the last few years of my life to
Living in the past searching for the light
Like a flame to a moth
To reverse what is lost
Instead of learning from the face that darkness makes
What has happened
Won't reappear
I know it's hard to fly when the skies are never clear
Can't seem to look away
Got your cortex out of whack
Rewind with me
Finally see
How your golden hour never really was all that
The future's far away
With your head stuck in the past
Rewind with me
I'll set you free
If not at least you've seen the other path
That was last year
But this a new one
You best buckle up
And get ready to watch a new sun
Rise upon horizons
And shining through all the diamonds
Making rainbow riddled rhombuses
Slice through all your problems
Learned a little lesson of life without all the drama
Treat your friends and enemies
Like each and every one's ohana
Live like Greek mythology's legendary Adonis
You can grow from all your trauma
Into beautiful nirvana
Look around you
Your future's here
How can you move ahead when you're stuck in yesteryear
Can't seem to look away
Got your cortex out of whack
Rewind with me
Finally see
How your golden hour never really was all that
The future's far away
With your head stuck in the past
Rewind with me
I'll set you free
If not at least you've seen the other path
Concerns focused on the past
See your present last
Your retinas need corrective glass
So you can view this instant
Concerns focused on the past
See your present last
Your retinas need corrective glass
So you can view this instant
Concerns focused on the past
See your present last
Your retinas need corrective glass
So you can view this instant
Can't seem to look away
Got your cortex out of whack
Rewind with me
Finally see how your golden hour
Can't seem to look away
Got your cortex out of whack
Rewind with me
Finally see
How your golden hour never really was all that
The future's far away
With your head stuck in the past
Rewind with me
I'll set you free
If not at least you've seen the other path
Do you even see me
When I'm right in front of you
You think your eyes can hide your mind
But I've got some bad news
Did you even meet me
Or am I just someone you knew
Shift your gaze from inside your brain
Then maybe you can see what we can do
Next time that you greet me
There's only one thing I ask of you
Turn your head from history for one moment
So we can talk it through

Delusions
03:37
|
|

I don't know anything
I don't know anything
Its not the place for me
It's not the place for me
I've got some sense to say
I've got some sense to say
I don't care what you think
I don't care what you think
If what I say is different
From what your head's expecting
It's apparent I've lost you in your own delusions
I can see you swimming in that pool of emptiness
If I send my lifeline out do I run the risk of losing
My own sanity if I try to pull me in
I've got you by a string
Don't slip away from me
Don't slip away from me
You told me yesterday
You told me yesterday
Nothing could ever be
Nothing could ever be
If you heard my perspective
You'd think for sure it's clear cut
It's apparent you've lost me in my own delusions
You can see me swimming in that pool of emptiness
If you send your lifeline out do you run the risk of losing
Your own sanity if you try to pull me in
I will listen carefully
Until I end up worry free
And though my eyes might never see
The intricate atrocities
And symptoms of your sad disease
That haunt your life I do believe
Someone more qualified than me
Could maybe put your mind at ease
I float here helplessly
Waiting for the day
The current comes to wash the pain away
I look out to sea
And see you drowning
Do you expect me to live my life in sin
You wouldn't understand
You live your life as planned
You've never left the comfort of dry land
You know your life's a mess
You know I know what's best
That doesn't mean that my worries matter less
I will listen carefully
Until I end up worry free
And though my eyes might never see
The intricate atrocities and symptoms
Of your sad disease that haunt your life I do believe
I will listen carefully
Until I end up worry free
And though my eyes might never see
The intricate atrocities and symptoms of your sad disease
That haunt your life I do believe
I promise that I'll never leave
Your plan is done our doom's complete
It's apparent I've lost me in your own delusions
I can see me swimming in your pool of emptiness
If you send my lifeline out do you run the risk of losing
My own sanity if you try to pull me in
Drag me down into the deep
So I can keep you company
It's better if we both achieve
A place where we can stay beneath
I like it here under this sea
Where nobody can hear me scream
I promise that I'll never leave
Your plan is done our doom's complete
Drag me down into the deep
So I can keep you company
It's better if we both achieve
A place where we can stay beneath
I like it here under this sea
Where nobody can hear me scream
I promise that I'll never leave
Your plan is done our doom's complete

The Cobra Maneuver
04:33
|
|

Flying in a circuit
Air pockets and turbulence
Your own incompetence
You can't seem to circumvent
Right down to the wire
Am I catching fire
You're spinning fast it's hemoglobin's head now
You're paranoid and fighting for your life
Another lap the g-force hits your heart valves
You aren't sure if you're going to survive
Dials screaming overdrive, pilot seats, and open sky
Missile fire flying by I can hear
Buzzing of a thousand flies
Ringing like a pulsatile
Dial-tone that's amplified in my ear
Knew you couldn't do it
First you faked it, then you blew it
There's really nothing to it
Complicate it and you'll lose it
Map your flights from safe domain
There's no way you could fly a plane
Shield your head from outer space
This ground's the only fitting place
And don't you ever wonder
About what's up above ya
Cause I won't wait to take you down
My guided missile's launching now
Up here there's room for only one
Do an Immelmann, catch your pessimism then
Throw it at the missile and fly into your new horizon
Crosswinds and deterrents
Frequencies of negligence
Should have stayed on the land
It's too late to comprehend
Right down to the wire
Am I catching Fire
Warheads in your view
It's a blitz ballistic and it's programmed to fly straight and true
Creeping up on you
You should've listened to me when I said I'd send you to your tomb
Counting down your doom
Always locked and loaded now I'm ready to destroy your crew
Nothing left to do
It's objective truth you'll never liberate from your own negative view
Just wait
And I'll show you I control my fate
You'll pay
I'll never let you blow me away
Just wait
And I'll show you I control my fate
You'll pay
I'll never let you blow me away
Flying in a circuit
You'll find you can't circumvent
Your own fatal tumor
Can you outmaneuver
Warheads in your view
It's a blitz ballistic and it's programmed to fly straight and true
Creeping up on you
You should've listened to me when I said I'd send you to your tomb
Counting down your doom
Always locked and loaded now I'm ready to destroy your crew
Nothing left to do
It's objective truth you'll never liberate from your own negative view
You think I can't escape
Watch me stall in the air and dynamically decelerate
There's no trap you create
That can keep me apprehended
I won't let your weaponry detonate

Impossible
02:50
|
|

Sometimes when I journey deep inside of my mind
I'll make a detour and lose myself again
And it doesn't matter which way I decide
I've come to realize my troubles never end
So if you happen to have some luck I'm gonna need it
I don't have a roadmap and I'm flying half blind
Just tiny inklings behind my clouds of comprehension
I don't understand them but I'd like to sometime
I'll hope this ends up to be a place I'm meant to be in
Or at least I'll get there while I still have some time
The more that I want it the harder it gets to find
One day I'm backwards, the next I'll see the end
And it drives me crazy searching for the signs
Can't seem to fathom the things I've yet to learn
How many errors before the answer's all I'm saying
Does my apprehension only keep me tongue-tied
No sense in worrying while that clock just keeps on ticking
Even if its rhythm breaks my concentration
I need enough of it just to reach my destination
And I want some excess when the journey is done
How many must-haves, requirements, and preconditions
Until I'm the person that I was hoping to become
You gotta eat
You gotta eat when you're hungry
You gotta sleep
You gotta sleep so you can dream
I'm gonna need
I'm gonna need
I'm gonna need something impossible to see if it completes me
You gotta learn
You gotta learn
You'll learn to read
You've gotta be
you've gotta be better than me
I'm gonna need
I'm gonna need
I'm gonna need something impossible to see if it completes me
You gotta pray
You gotta keep your faith in me
You gotta make
You gotta keep all your money
I'm gonna need
I'm gonna need
I'm gonna need something impossible to see if it completes me

Riptide
05:02
|
|

Answer's in the water
No it's no accident there be dragons far beyond what we see
Consequences feel as though they're fiction
Think about the power of an earthquake or a rogue tsunami
The ocean welcomes us back with open arms
Bearing riptides as its teeth
Sublimation sweeping cross the nation
Nature quells humanity
Winds keep getting faster
Are we the victims or the cause of disaster
Tearing through what's left of the atmosphere
We should have listened to the weather forecasters
Begging for a lenient master
The climate's come to send society backwards
Fearing what is coming up after
I hear the hurricane's evil laughter
I've got a little secret
You're gonna need to keep it
Jointly we hold the key
And if you've gotta see it
Or else you won't believe it
Just put your faith in me
Sick and tired of only listening to the other side
Of any other conversation that you ever have in mind
Our planet's dying
Problems multiplying
We've got the calling of our life to save the ecosystems time
Its time to blaze or triumph
We've got nothing to worry about
It's cold in the winter
Please take your anxious whistle-blowing elsewhere
Birds, and bees, and plants and trees
Are falling down now
Can't ya see we've done a number with our idiocy
Herds of swine, a calf bovine we're pumping out and
Suddenly our sky's got lots of toxic air to breathe
We've got nothing to worry about
Our fate's predetermined
Sit back and watch us fade into extinction
Winds keep getting faster
Are we the victims or the cause of disaster
Tearing through what's left of the atmosphere
We should have listened to the weather forecasters
Begging for a lenient master
The climate's come to send society backwards
Fearing what is coming up after
I hear the hurricane's evil laughter
Eye of the storm comes along
We'll never get what we want
Forget the storm's where you are
And you'll end up right back at the start
Faster while the winds keep picking up
Can't help but wonder at the question
Who's to blame for this disaster
Does it even matter
When the victims and the master are the same
I start to ponder should we really be complaining at all
Take back everything that you thought was a better route
There's nothing but a big stain beneath my wings
If my home habitat's destroyed, what becomes of your life
Did you get a new heart
Cause your old one failed to start
Was it worth tearing my lifestyle apart
Fill your head with thoughts and prayers
Living every single day
Staving off your fears
No its not too elegant
Using borrowed years
To do nothing but ensure that the future lives are scared
Taking all that we can out of mother earth
Dig the dead from the ground just to make a quick cent
For people so obsessed with the precedent
You'd think we take some time to see the asteroid right above our head
Bearing down real quick on the pedal to finish
Do we save our life or pass it off all to the kids
Look 'em right in the eye
Say yeah I know what we did
But by the time it gets real bad I think I'll be dead
Talk a big game 'bout how the love never ends
While we keep passing the planet
Hoping not to end up stuck with the bag
I'm getting sick of it
That's all that we hear
Say you're mad
Get attention
Grab the cash
Disappear
We've got nothing to worry about
It's cold in the winter
Please take your anxious whistle-blowing elsewhere
Winds keep getting faster
Are we the victims or the cause of disaster
Tearing through what's left of the atmosphere
We should have listened to the weather forecasters
Begging for a lenient master
The climate's come to send society backwards
Fearing what is coming up after
I hear the hurricane's evil laughter

The Contract
02:57
|
|
||
I read the contract that you thought you could skew
You give me nothing for the work I do for you
Building up with nothing but the scraps I find
How can you think I could build this whole thing blind
If I'm coming off as hostile then there's nothing left to do
Keep reviewing what I've done but never point your telescope at you
If everything you thought you gave to me was good
Let's take a joyride through the things you thought were clear and not obscured
Messages packed
With questions I asked
Your answers seem lacking of substance
All your demands
Worked into my plans
You throw me back nothing but scraps
Muscles weakened plus the sound
Of you constantly ordering me round
Leaves me time to feel nothing but down
And I feel like I'm going to drown
Claim that you'll help
It comes time to delve
And I see you've got no equipment
Wish I found out
To trust all my doubts
Now I've got no time to rest
Feel like the blame is on me
Now I'm wondering how could this be
I gave to you all that I could and yet
I've never felt less assured
Building up with nothing but the scraps I find
How can you think I could build this whole thing blind
If I'm coming off as hostile then there's nothing left to do
Keep reviewing what I've done but never point your telescope at you

Quantum Conspiracy
03:42
|
|
||
Once nothing but theory
Lying waiting as nothing but a
Dying fading future lost memory
Sent through time with its infinite ability to
Change your mind and maybe
Make some type of crazy shit you'll never find
Until you synthesize some greater matter
That could be advertised
Once ensnared by its gravity
My own thoughts become inescapable
It's getting harder to determine what is real
Does this hole I think I perceive
Fit my models of relativity
Quantum uncertainty
Keeps me guessing infinitely
Once again you find yourself possessed by certainty
This kind of feeling only happens when you patiently
Allow yourself the space and time to let your brain roam free
Just be sure to keep from falling in the singularity
Keep the groove together by infusing it with energy
Remember greater things are often made up differently
The more you bring together the more effort in the end
You've gotta find your hydrogen again to make what's needed
Blend together cause it's now or never
Make this power transfer and
Keep the fusion pumping
Cause this star won't last forever
Once ensnared by its gravity
My own thoughts become inescapable
It's getting harder to determine what is real
Does this hole I think I perceive
Fit my models of relativity
Quantum uncertainty
Keeps me guessing infinitely
Keep making guesses
You're filling up your plasma
Keep making guesses
And growing your diameter
Keep making guesses
Its harder to keep track of
All of the answers to the questions that you're after
Keep making guesses
Until you're supermassive
Keep making guesses
Reality's collapsing
Keep making guesses
Eventually surpassing
The point of no return
You're greed is everlasting
Filling you up
It's never enough
Keep filling you up
It's never enough
Change your mind
If you can't take some time
You'll never realize
It's not the end of your life
Change your mind
If you can't take some time
You'll never realize
It's not the end of your life
Take a breath and maybe you'll see
That not everything's ascertainable
Wait a second
Observe what else is revealed
Once ensnared by its gravity
My own thoughts become inescapable
It's getting harder to determine what is real
Does this hole I think I perceive
Fit my models of relativity
Quantum uncertainty
Keeps me guessing infinitely

Heavy
06:31
|
|

The time has come
I never thought it would
As I'm flying far above
The horizon that I never
Thought I could cross
I hope I float when you hold me up
I hope I have the strength to keep me
Lighter than air in your arms
So I'm easy to support
Sometimes people get heavy
Takes some strength to just keep yourself upright
Gets real easy to buckle under the stress of life when
You're holding up the weight of something that's given up
So remember
Even if your ligaments
Are tearing
I'll be trying my hardest to hold me up
Though I'm burdened there's a fortress deep within me
That keeps it out of your view
I maintain it so my load looks light as can be
That way I can help you
Sometimes my soldiers riot when I treat them badly
And all my stress will break through
I'm working hard to keep them organized all nicely
Until the day I'm improved
Muscles strained from all the weight you're gaining
Til a voice comes out from your brain
Whispering things you've never heard before
You start to lose your grip
Stop before you start to slip
Can't just run away
From the treachery
That accompanies
Ones without some durability
Tossed aside as broken
And never again regarded
Lost without any trace
Left to your wits as nothing but a headcase
Scorned by those that held your weight
Defeated
Your doom is awaiting
The outcome makes you likely to push back the hands of fate
You've seen the future now your feel your strength regaining
Those baseless whispers subdue
Though in that second seemed like life was at its ending
Time's come to continue
With every stumble comes another new beginning
Despite looking like a fool
I'll march on forward cause I find my path interesting
No matter how great or cruel
I know I'll soar when you hold me up
I know that with this strength I've gained
I'll fly through the clouds above
So much higher than my jump
I know that all you've done has helped me
Reach for the stars in the sky
And I hope we never stop
