Moving Land

The crows shake and shriek
On the streets where the preach
We need to speak
To giant hearts and hands
Waiting for command
To move the land
We try to shine
We try to shine
It's hard not to cross the line
The shadows cast
The shadows cast
The darkest when we contrast
Ritual events
A thin love protests
Our own lament
Stranded in the grain
The journey drifts away
And dies in vain
We try to shine
We try to shine
It's hard not to
Cross the line
The shadows cast
The shadows cast
The darkest when we contrast
Then a parade swept right in
Beaming out the light from within
Then a parade swept right in
Lifting all the grief of what has been
Forevermore, forevermore
Hundreds of years speak for
Forevermore, forevermore
A prisoner of love and war
Forevermore, forevermore
Hundreds of years speak for
Forevermore, forevermore
A prisoner of love and war

The victims will claim
They have been framed
The victims will claim
Consider the crooks
Formulas from books
Consider the crooks
Bundle chapters
Try and remember
Grasping out for fewer heights
Propelling towards
What is mine is yours
This ending of yours
Blades of sweet reward
Mortar style mantras
Take ahold of the helm again
All the colors blend into one
Old birds can't fly
With broken wings
Old birds won't fly
The past terrain
Of stale oil stains
Wave in their brains
Bundle chapters
Try and remember
Grasping out for fewer heights
Propelling towards
What is mine is yours
This ending of yours
No longer can you hoard
Try not to lie to each other
The golden rule will stand
All the colors blend to one
Phase over the faces
Frames of themes and places
Phase over the faces
Frames of themes and places
Phase over the faces
Frames of themes and places
Phase over the faces
Frames of themes and places
Propelling towards
What is mine is yours
This ending and more
Sounding with these chords
Mortar style mantras
Take ahold of the helm again
All the colors blend into one

Time to tear down the fort
And lay down our arms
Put aside the grudge
All of it, everything 'cause
I've had enough
And you've had enough
Let's walk away as parted strays
To the days when I met her
To the days that were better
Let it all slip away
And as time goes by
I'm sure I'll be fine
And when I think back
That I took the chance
It's what matters the most
It won't bother me
The path that I chose
Was chosen for me
We will hold down the fort
And open up our arms
Put aside the grudge
All of it, everything 'cause
I've missed too much
I've been out of touch
Let's take a day as birds of prey
To the days that were darker
To the days that were harder
Let it all slip away
And as time goes by
I'm sure I'll be fine
And when I think back
That I took the chance
It's what matters the most
It won't bother me
The path that I chose
Was chosen for me

The decisions are defeating
As cold as slate
It keeps repeating
The shipwreck is waiting
To affect the tides
Trapped on the inside
The decisions are defeating
As cold as slate
It keeps repeating
The shipwreck is waiting
To affect the tides
Trapped on the inside
Ooooo ooooo whoa ooooo
Ooooo ooooo whoa ooooo
It's hard to believe
But it's everything you hoped
You hoped
It's hard to believe
But it's everything you hoped
And more
To turn your back
On what you know
To beat your fists
Until they're broke
It's hard to believe
But it's everything you hoped
You hoped
The decisions are defeating
As cold as slate
It keeps repeating
Racking tracks
Lined and wrecked
We expect a hex
From the hot steel beds
The decisions are defeating
As cold as slate
It keeps repeating
Racking tracks
Lined and wrecked
We expect a hex
From the hot steel beds
Ooooo ooooo whoa ooooo
From the hot steel beds
Ooooo ooooo whoa ooooo
From the hot steel beds
It's hard to believe
But it's everything you hoped
You hoped
It's hard to believe
But it's everything you hoped
And more
To turn your back
On what you know
To beat your fists
Until they're broke
It's hard to believe
But it's everything you hoped
You hoped

Midnight Sun
03:44

The facts are these
You're haunted by your past
First you try to change
But it won't last
And all your waking hours
Spent on the lost
The reason the season won
At no cost
Under the midnight sun
Fire and guns
Under the midnight sun
Fire and guns
Under the midnight sun
Fire and guns
Under the midnight sun
This is where our fire sleeps
After a waltz in the streets
At a glance
The passion danced
The meek and the bold
Were in a trance
The planet's habits
Will never cease
Until the two become a piece
You've provoked me
I can't control my temper
I tried to move on
But babe, you know better
They lie just like you and me
They lie just like you and me
This stigma stains our soul
This stigma stains our soul
This stigma stains our soul
We don't have a place to go
Whoa - whoa whoa whoa!
The facts are these
The cultures will adapt
A future of change
An atomic mass
Running out of bounds
Like a snake in the grass
We are a slaving working class
It's false to say
As the stories shift
Like tectonic plates
That move with this riff
The collision is late
For its big hit
The reason we see
It's begun to split
Under the midnight sun
Fire and guns
Under the midnight sun
Fire and guns
Under the midnight sun
Fire and guns
Under the midnight sun
This is where our fire sleeps
After a waltz in the streets
At a glance
The passion danced
The meek and the bold
Were in a trance
The planet's habits
Will never cease
Until the two become a piece

Luck and Chemistry

Red and black
And here and back
Red and black
And heart attacks
Talking late I turned around
You're staring at the sky
Holding hands I held my breath
Until I almost died
My life is a catastrophe
But it brings out the best of me
Red and black
And here and back
Red and black
And heart attacks
Passing time I think too much
I don't know what to do
Up too late wondering if
I did it all for you
You know I did
I can't fight luck or chemistry
And it brings out the worst of me
I can't fight luck or chemistry
I don't know what you did to me
You ruined everything
I wouldn't change a thing
You ruined everything, again
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
My life is a catastrophe
But it brings out the best of me
I can't fight luck or chemistry
I don't know what you did to me

No Travel Advised

We are confused by rhyming the time
Through the tops of the ol' pines
Hawks are tethered to our chests
Parts of earth crumble from our bones
Drifting through space and the unknown
Courting our worth to rustic thrones
While old men bet their hearts in chess
We wonder if it's all we have left
And that's fine by me
If that's as good as it gets
We wouldn't ever think to settle for less
Parts of earth crumble from our bones
Drifting through space and the unknown
Courting our worth to rustic thrones
Passing by award winning hues
Cryptic messages have been construed
Rare scripts of writing warn: BEWARE
While old men bet their hearts in chess
We wonder if it's all we have left
And that's fine by me
If that's as good as it gets
We wouldn't ever think to settle for less
"In this age of uncertainty... When everything is slippery slope and relativity and our favorite saying is, 'whatever'. Here this miracle has happened between... I thought I finished crying... These two great chestnut trees deeply rooted in the nurture of the life and standing with us, young couple... deeply rooted in their love. I take refuge... in their witness.... for love... and helps me to understand that, strikingly simple, but profound statement that god is love."

Variables

A pendulum swings
By rampant living things
A pendulum swings
Because we've met our defeat
From problems we can't solve
The moral high ground
We'll drown before we are crowned
The moral high ground
We'll drown before we are crowned
Justifying the right wrongs
Now go and dust off your hands
We'll admit today
We've done enough decay
We'll melt the skylines
Just for the crime
Gridlocked and extinct
We've now met our defeat
With an attitude in animal form
Gridlocked and extinct
We've now met our defeat
Gridlocked and extinct
We've now met our defeat
We must remind ourselves to love
Now go and dust off your hands
We'll admit today
We've done enough decay
We'll melt the skylines
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-nah
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-nah
Hoo-hoo na-na-na-hoo-hoo
Na-na-na-nah-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo na-na-na-hoo-hoo
Na-na-na-nah-hoo-hoo
Let's think about what we've been doing
We'll take some time to think it through
And maybe give ourselves some time to breathe

Let go
Let go
Before it's gone
Vectors clash on
Big black dots
Spots and patterns
Jolt like watts
Vibes and vibrating blasts
We seek and wince past
Treading undertones
When we seek we wince fast
Vast flat bones on stone
When we seek we wince fast
Golden glands surpass
When we seek we outlast
WOO!
All the time we have left
We decide how it's spent
All the time we have left
We decide
Vectors clash on
Big black dots
Spots and patterns
Jolt like watts
Stitch the trust
Across the hatch
Match and trace
With grace attached
Central realms are distant
We seek and wince long
Stations and static
When we seek we wince strong
Songs tune the magic
When we seek we wince strong
Drawn to the moon's scent
When we seek we are gone
WOO!
Let go
Let go
Before it's gone
