My stomach filled with sticks You were bright-eyed and gleaming Trotting towards the ceiling While the music here was blaring Representing southern Florida You were a cigarette in the darkness You drank til you were sober Ranting and uncovered Yea, you showed us Where we load in that's where you escaped The first door opened that's where you escaped If you could see the look on your face Now you're worse the ever We saw you as we started to play Spitting on the floor That's what I call "shoe gaze" I will stomp down do hard I will break through this stage Through splinters and nails I will break through this stage If you could see the look on your face Faces on pictures of our good times Are they what they seem If you could see the look on your face

Right 03:07
Some time away Would do us fine Some time away I'll stay behind But it'll take Some time for me to say You're right Waking up in the middle of the night TV's on Up til dawn Looking for a way out I've had my chance to think of a way out Til you find out

Humtroller 01:53
Come see the architect Buildings made with treble clefts So tall you'd break your neck to see Him humming so pristine Come see the controller D-pads switch time signatures Too bad a conductor shouldn't sing But he can still hum so pristine It's all a fad It's not what it seems A plateau built on video game themes You go on live your dream When it calls be ready So go on live your dream

What ever I can do to help Time turns a brand new page Where thoughts are spoken And not just felt And simple understandings Work for all That you vowed As you told You'd work it out Failure's not allowed Think back when The lights went out As rain swept in Your love was found Failure's not allowed It's not question It's not blame It's not caution It's not rage It's all

Presenting 03:57
Presenting a drink called quotes of the weak Defending their worth while we sense defeat All the letters have been mailed Sending us down poor man's trail When you're face to face With the machine that stole your change When you're face to face With the machine that took your place Presenting the web of uncertainty Defending our worth to a sadistic king He will let us have our say To petition more funding And they're telling you to wait Another is presenting
7.
What's so troubling about this heat I know how it grabs at your being You're too reluctant to uphold The limestone Trying to make ends meet While tangled at the feet This feat I know how you must've felt Big city boys lost in the bible belt Not sure of what they were trying to sell Was it fiction Was it theory Or was it genius We've been away for a while I think it's time we go And make our way back home To the lives we know To reality We've lived the dream It was more of a scheme An unforgiving scene And infinite back beats Oh, the back beats Were the limestone Foundations crumbling beneath We're just trying to make ends meet
