Dragonfly 04:18
Ordinary, ordinary, ordinary The essence of the wind Standing still in flight then falling in Pay attention to the things on which we land Follow where heroes won't go Fortune or not, you'll never know Whirlwinds tear across the drifting sand Ordinary, ordinary I could be your dragonfly, such a curious engender You're so different, you're shifting shapes with me I'll take you where your dragons fly, till the gates are closed remember This dream is more than ordinary I rest my wings in your dreams, you'll never know quite what that means If you watch me close then you could understand Then looking in the pond, you'll see it coming from beyond The nymph-like creature in your hand Ordinary, ordinary I could be your dragonfly, such a curious engender You're so different, you're shifting shapes with me I'll take you where your dragons fly, till the gates are closed remember This dream is more than ordinary I could be your dragonfly, such a curious engender You're so different, you're shifting shapes with me I'll take you where your dragons fly, till the gates are closed remember This dream is more than ordinary

Amphibian 03:22
I'm running away from the circus To find a new home I'm trading my colors for worthless Corporate monochrome Living a lie while walking in truth Wickedly, innocently You can't get a straight answer from me Deviant, I've been expecting you Hand in your badge and your gun and get out Maybe you'll see what this city's about In moments the irony caught up to me Surface... if you can't laugh I'm running away from the circus They're running away from me I've been painting this smile on for so long Oh the vanity! Racking my brain on the tracks of the train Two-headed beast disagreements Yet I haven't said anything since Souvenirs from the world aren't allowed Heaven and hell have their boundaries And the earth closes in around me In moments the irony caught up to me Surface... if you can't laugh Then you must be serious, so delirious What do have to be so anxious about? Get the fuck out with your Antidepressant psychiatrist sessions It's only the face that you wear Make your confessions at your own discretion It's only the face that you wear Put it on Fake a smile and they smile back Fake a smile and they smile back Fake a smile and they smile back In moments the irony caught up to me Surface... if you can't laugh

Dark Lantern 03:44
In a brisk magnetic field The iron man had dreamed That the midas touch had turned him to gold Inside he would never change Sentiment to cut so deep But he hardly made a dent He was a lantern with a shutter device To dark for his intent I hold this beckoning beacon A stab in the dark, a stab in the dark With a ring of endless light You missed the mark, how could you be So blind To the lantern that he shines on you Through the shutters of his heart (Shutters of his heart) A dark lantern's never too far How could you be so blind? So he fled to the underground In malcontent, disgust The blood and iron draining from his veins And turned him into rust Called to be the salt and the light With the torch passed on to him If they could see him now, they'd snuff it right out The flame had grown so dim I hold this beckoning beacon A stab in the dark, a stab in the dark With a ring of endless light You missed the mark, how could you be So blind To the lantern that he shines on you Through the shutters of his heart (Shutters of his heart) A dark lantern's never too far How could you be so blind? A stab in the dark, a stab in the dark With a ring of endless light You missed the mark, how could you be So blind To the lantern that he shines on you Through the shutters of his heart (Shutters of his heart) A dark lantern's never too far How could you be so blind?

Voiced our complaints to the top of the ladder I heard they're dealt with by some tea-sipping mad-hatter And with or without you, we're meeting in secret Plotting the day we will bring him to his knees He's on his last leg as it is, let's start this mutiny The man in the crow's nest watches it happen But he won't go down with those fools An aura of safety follows the captain He has the gold, he makes the rules Our minds were set but our heads were uncertain Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain The intimidation, facade of a madman And under the pressure of his feet, the eggshell cracks Ready or not, the incubated plot begins to hatch The man in the crow's nest watches it happen But he won't go down with those fools An aura of safety follows the captain He has the gold, he makes the rules If this ship should go down, he'll be the last to drown If this ship should go down, he'll be the last to drown If this ship should go down, he'll be the last to drown Straddle the fence, neutrality to think And knowing him he'll probably walk the plank He'll walk the plank The man in the crow's nest watches it happen But he won't go down with those fools An aura of safety follows the captain He has the gold, he makes the rules If this ship should go down, he'll be the last to drown And knowing him, he'll probably walk the plank

No signs of life dotting the coast Avoiding patrols when it counts the most Which is all the time We can't turn this thing on the edge of a dime With the police hot on our wake The red and blue flashes light our mistake We worked hard for this Cracking our knuckles and pounding our fists In a secret code, knock on the door Less than eleven miles out from the shore There's a disco downstairs and the music and lights Suggest that cargo aboard has been opened tonight Safety is not our concer, we'll let midnight oil burn Return with the wild life wonder, hold your breath because we're going under We've got cabin fever, cabin fever We've got cabin fever, cabin fever We've got cabin fever, cabin fever We've got cabin fever, cabin fever Jump into the jam and tell me what you can Through your body language, 90% of all conversation Figured to be through body movement, that means the dance floor I'll do the other 10 Break it down, you don't gotta know how, diverse tones and tunage, just feel the music Rhythm in your legs, and bass in your lungs and the next part should roll right off the tongue C'MON! We've got cabin fever, cabin fever We've got cabin fever, cabin fever We've got cabin fever, cabin fever We've got cabin fever, cabin fever I once was a little boy I fight with my own two hands I write with my right But my left doesn't know or understand With the police hot on our wake The red and blue flashes light our mistake We worked hard for this Cracking our knuckles and pounding our fists In a secret code, knock on the door Less than eleven miles out from the shore There's a disco downstairs and the music and lights Suggest that cargo aboard has been opened tonight Safety is not our concer, we'll let midnight oil burn Return with the wild life wonder, hold your breath because we're going under I once was a little boy I fight with my own two hands I write with my right But my left doesn't know or understand I once was a little boy I fight with my own two hands I write with my right But my left doesn't know or understand

There's no privacy in prison No cubicle with a screen anymore Holes in the roof are dripping And the cracks keep mopping up the floor Gravity gives me a muse, I suppose Let's dig a tunnel, and see where it goes Warmth! In the walls of the tempest's angry beehive Sprays liquid bullets around the storms With a bolt to the lightning splits The dark from the dark in attempt to believe In the truth of the ground Warmth! In the walls of the tempest's angry beehive Sprays liquid bullets around the storms With a bolt to the lightning splits The dark from the dark in attempt to believe In the truth of the ground If it smells like cologne, then leave it alone A nick-nack paddywack, give a dog a bone A kid can be a kid at discovery zone Party up, have a party of your own If it smells like cologne, then leave it alone A nick-nack paddywack, give a dog a bone A kid can be a kid at discovery zone Party up, have a party of your own If it smells like cologne, then leave it alone A nick-nack paddywack, give a dog a bone A kid can be a kid at discovery zone Party up, have a party of your own There's no privacy in prison No cubicle with a screen anymore Holes in the roof are dripping And the cracks keep mopping up the floor Gravity gives me a muse, I suppose Let's dig a tunnel, and see where it goes Warmth! In the walls of the tempest's angry beehive Sprays liquid bullets around the storms With a bolt to the lightning splits The dark from the dark in attempt to believe In the truth of the ground No signs of life dotting the coast Avoiding patrols when it counts the most Which is all the time We can't turn this thing on the edge of a dime

To the furthest corners My destination extends beyond equilibrium To be truly human is exploration Oblivious to oblivion The sun still revolves around the earth Everything happens here at the center of this universe Time has bounds, and the days seem to be numbered Yet the limit to the human mind has yet to be discovered See for yourself, see if it's true See if this makes sense to you Unaware of what has been forgotten But it's not what it seems See for yourself, see if it's true See if this makes sense to you Don't you remember What that means? Question at the popular belief Could the world still be flat? Where's the edge and what's underneath Chase the sun, manifest that destiny Until you're right back where you started having witnessed that infinity See for yourself, see if it's true See if this makes sense to you Unaware of what has been forgotten But it's not what it seems See for yourself, see if it's true See if this makes sense to you Don't you remember What that means? To the furthest corners, my destination Extends beyond equilibrium To be truly human is exploration Oblivious to oblivion See for yourself, see if it's true See if this makes sense to you Unaware of what has been forgotten But it's not what it seems See for yourself, see if it's true See if this makes sense to you Don't you remember What that means? See for yourself, see if it's true (To the furthest corners) See if this makes sense to you (My destination) Unaware of what has been forgotten (Extends beyond equilibrium) But it's not what it seems (To be truly human) See for yourself, see if it's true (Is exploration) See if this makes sense to you (Oblivious) Don't you remember (To oblivion) What that means?

Dancing Guns 03:17
She came on a mechanical bull With a wink and blew me a kiss She's so unbelievable So dangerous I'm down for the ride, take me inside I'm ready to burn Rubber, enough said, into the sunset Never return Dancing guns Shoot to entertain the thought That I'm not hurting anyone I just don't know what I want Dancing guns Fall in love Oh, whatever happens after, it doesn't matter Nothing to lose, it might be fun, Ms. Dancing Guns She came on a mechanical bull And told me to hold on tight The push gave into the pull All through the night If it fits like a glove, could this be love? How can I be sure? I'm pistol whipped, this pistol grip Feels so secure To shoot me first and ask me questions later Asking me what good is good behavior, anyway Squinting out the sun, her fingers twitch I'm having second thoughts about this But then she was like... And I was like... Dancing guns Shoot to entertain the thought That I'm not hurting anyone I just don't know what I want Dancing guns Fall in love Oh, whatever happens after, it doesn't matter Nothing to lose, it might be fun, Ms. Dancing Guns She came on a mechanical bull With a wink and blew me a kiss She's so unbelievable So dangerous I'm down for the ride, take me inside I'm ready to burn Rubber, enough said, into the sunset Never return Dancing guns Shoot to entertain the thought That I'm not hurting anyone I just don't know what I want Dancing guns Fall in love Oh, whatever happens after, it doesn't matter Nothing to lose, it might be fun, Ms. Dancing Guns

Caducity 03:07
I can feel myself detach That's how it is with an itch that you can't scratch I exist, therefore I thought I feel it there, though I know that it's not Tingling will turn to nothing there I once breathed fire, now I'm full of hot air I don't need this anymore I don't feel anything except for Pins and needles, pins and needles My phantom ego falling asleep again and on Caducity's a bitch when you're all Pins and needles, pins and needles My phantom ego falling asleep behind the wheel Off the road, now I can feel Pins and needles, pins and needles My phantom ego falling asleep again and on Caducity's a bitch when you're all Pins and needles, pins and needles My phantom ego falling asleep behind the wheel Off the road, now I can feel Something stirring in my skull Pride is weak and unreliable Paralyze what matters most When it counts, it's gone like a ghost Tingling will turn to nothing there I once breathed fire, now I'm full of hot air I don't need this anymore I don't feel anything except for Pins and needles, pins and needles, pins and needles Pins and needles, pins and needles My phantom ego falling asleep behind the wheel Off the road now I can really Feel the needles, pins and needles My phantom ego falling asleep again and on Caducity's a bitch when you're a pawn Pins and needles, pins and needles My phantom ego falling asleep behind the wheel Off the road now I can really Feel the needles, pins and needles My phantom ego falling asleep again and on Caducity's a bitch when you're a pawn Borrowed time can chase me to my grave and take it away!
