Rock hard
I'll do
my job
I could watch you all day
watching you plug away
challenge the gods and seal your fate
never a chance to satiate
climbing up that hill, and back down again
baby are you still trying to climb that hill
make it to the top with your heavy load
make it to the top but you won't explode
god like crimes to be kind
to render with thy precepts less
the sum of human wretchedness
strengthening man wiht his own mind
baffled as thou wert from on high
climbing up that hill, and back down again
baby are you still trying to climb that hill
make it to the top with your heavy load
make it to the top but you won't explode
damned, the absurd hero
life without appeal
edging all the way down now
held
in a vicious fantasy
there's endless ways to bleed
just one way to be freed

I don't know what tomorrow brings
I'm scared of quite a lot of things
And I always think about
a million ways that things could go wrong
This tends to work out well for me
My pessimist predictability
but once in a while, something chills me to the bone
Sometimes
Good things happen
I'm trying not to be so dark
This is just my story arc
I try to enjoy life, fully expecting you to pull the rug out
I brace myself to stand my ground
Ready for another round
'Cause Murphy was right
And I would rather be prepared than scared but
Sometimes good things happen
I don't have a clue
Sometimes good things happen
What to do
I give up, I give up
I don't know how this one goes
Please tell me the ending, I won't watch the show.

It's going to be, it's going to be weird
no one knows, it's all a big surprise
cable news pretend to analyze
cover story's just an advertisement, please
It's going to be, it's going to be fine
We're trying to find, what's the best design
Stupid things that didn't work before
Made these grooves we're stuck in on the floor
Gotta get out, that's what being here is for
Our time here is ephemeral
And matters quite polemical
Cause us distress in general, but hey
It's going to be, it's going to be hard
'Cause everyone here's adequately flawed
broken people try to slay your name
broken people but we're all the same
only way to win is not to play the game

What can you say to the man who knows everything?
Get a word in with the man who knows everything
Einstein and Forrest Gump rolled into one
What could you bring to the table?
What can you say to the man who knows everything?
He's clever, and better he'll bet you he's never been ever wrong
What can you ask of the man who knows everything
Then sit tight for several hours of retelling
A whimsical tale of someone less fortunate
Haplessly bumbling along
Bask in the glow of the man who knows everything
Oh when he's on, then he's on
But where else could he ever be?
Trapped in the car with the man who knows everything
The greatest tour guide is the man who knows everything
He knows the history and all the right people
You're so fucking lucky to know him
Trapped in a car with the man who knows everything
He's happy to show you the things that he's so fucking happy to know
What can you say to the man who knows everything?
Don't question the cred of the man who knows everything
don't ever cross him, 'cause man does his ego sting
He'll make it his personal mission to tear you apart
just to prove that you're crazy
Don't question the cred of the man who knows everything
Try to forget that you saw what you saw when you saw it
Distance yourself from the man who knows everything

Tug of War
03:08
|

I'm getting tired of living this tug of war
So admired, you'd cut me in half
And I don't know who should let me go
But loosen up your hold, let me find myself without the pressure
Please let me out of the middle now
Don't use my life to settle a score
You're two but there's only one of me
Loosen up your hold, let me find myself without the pressure

That Thing with Feathers
03:48
|
|||
Fancy to be meeting you here
I don't remember a choice
Such endless beauty surrounds us
And that inaudible noise
I can tell that you are new here
I can tell you know the name
There's only one thing I can't see
Ready for it to be explained
And the game go
Don't step on a crack or you'll break your mother's back
Stay out of that room for it's sure to be your doom
Do not eat the fruit and don't look in the box
Think about the cost
These are the garments we wear now
Torn up and mended with care
These are the questions we ask and
Those are the ones we don't dare
It wasn't me who wrote the story but I know
That they will say I made the mess
Such a useful allegory
But my innocence I profess
And the game go
Don't step on a crack or you'll break your mother's back
Stay out of that room for it's sure to be your doom
Do not eat the fruit and don't look in the box
Think about the cost
How do I get out?
How do I get out of this thing with feathers?

Earthquake
06:17
|
|||
When our fears need confirmation,
Natural disasters bring it.
Terrified to look behind us,
We're afraid of our own shadow
Stretching longer at each step.
Squatting on the curb since lights
went out all over town.
Walls, long silent, sway prophetic,
Girders twist with new-found voices,
Oracles of transformation,
Inarticulate predictors
Of our ever-changing state.
Squatting on the curb since lights
went out all over town.
Far below what was the surface,
Solid rock resolves to liquid.
Fountains of the deep break open,
Boiling rivers melt their boundaries
Spilling fire across the night.
Squatting on the curb since lights
went out all over town.
If we think we have possession,
Somehow, home & goods still vanish.
Treasures we grip to us tightly
One by one drop in the crevice
Growing wider at our feet.
Stars are so much brighter!
Power failure sharpens sight.
Curbside, looking up for what
will fall down on us next.

Heart and Home
02:40
|
|||
I lost my heart and my home
into the greater unknown
The life I thought I could see
crumbled underneath my feet
Oh no I motherfucking want you back
No I can't go forward, I want you back
I don't want to have a heart attack
It wasn't real anyway
A pretty thing you would say
We're interchangeable holes
Stereotypical roles
But I'm so stupid 'cause I want you back
No I can't go forward, want it back
Why'd you have to go step on the crack

Borderline
04:06
|
|||
I used to think that I knew everything
Quietly believing that I should be king
The older I get, the more I see how much I missed
It gets harder and harder ever just to be convinced
As the days go by, all the rules defy
I'll tell you what I got, I gotta lotta time
Got a lotta mountains I have yet to climb
Living all my life straddling the borderline
Whoa
Can I hazard a guess
It doesn't make sense to you
But they call you a villain if you don't agree
There's a million ways that you could say it doesn't work
But you can't do a thing like that unless you're free
And the days go fast while the music blasts
I'll tell you what I got, I gotta lotta time
Got a lotta mountains I have yet to climb
Living all my life straddling the borderline
Whoa
I hope you're ready for a new kinda bullshit
I hope you're ready for a new kinda troll
We're going steady with a new kinda bullshit
And there's some more stuff comin' out the hole
Doesn't sound like anything you've ever
Doesn't smell like anything you've ever
Doesn't look like anything you've ever heard before
And they just can't wait to give it to you
There's a lot to be said for holding space for everyone
Though we try to pretend this game is really zero sum
Now it's outta control, the curtain's peeking open
There's a little old man pretending to be god.
As the days go by, all the rules defy
I'll tell you what I got, I gotta lotta time
Got a lotta mountains I have yet to climb
Living all my life straddling the borderline
Whoa
