Listen:
We take poison in and spit poison out again
You are a book that is open
Pages of words that are foreign to me
Struggle to find the meaning that’s inside
But in the end it’s all just strings and twine
Caught in the net of everything
I’m just a knot unraveling
And it feels like no one is listening
So I repeat myself and go on unending
When I find out what it is that I have let out
Then I’ll find out what it is that everything is about
And it feels like no one is listening
So I repeat myself and go on unending
(You’ll say that I’m wrong on all the things that I know)
And it feels like no one is listening
So I repeat myself and go on unending
You say that I’ll savor this moment
If I could only taste you now
If I would pour out my emotion
Then I am worried that you’ll drown
If I could sail across the ocean
So far away I won’t be found
If I could save you from this bullshit
Then come with me and we’ll leave town

Unprepared
Running with dusty feet
as long as there is ground moving beneath them
My footprints will cover the Earth
Never to hesitate
for if I do I’ll start to speculate
that my life has no worth
We all forever fall asleep, so why should I be scared?
Cuz I believe in everything and I know that we’re unprepared
We all let go of everything and vanish through the air
If everything’s a memory than I know that we’re unprepared
Still I think that life isn’t much more than coming together and falling apart
I think my destiny is the pursuit of everything I dream
and speaking the words of my heart
Stare across the Abysmal expanse
that we’ve fallen from and think we’re never looking back
Then I have an honest perspective
that we’re nothing more than a planetary rash.
We all forever fall asleep, so why should I be scared?
Cuz I believe in everything and I know that we’re unprepared
We all let go of everything and vanish through the air
If everything’s a memory than I know that we’re unprepared
Stare across the Abysmal expanse
that we’ve fallen from and think we’re never looking back
There I felt a longing to retrace all my faulty steps
so I can carve a newer path
We all forever fall asleep, so why should I be scared?
Cuz I believe in everything and I know that we’re unprepared
We all let go of everything and vanish through the air
If everything’s a memory than I know that we’re unprepared

Memories Of Some Distant Future
Run for the hills now
Away I go unnoticed
I fled from diseases that have taken hold of this plagued generation
Fooled me once those laughing faces think I’ll never know
How it will only take the enemy one swipe to clear the air
of all those armies of swarming insects
particles, chemicals, we have been warned
Revolt back against the silence that’s waiting for us
We’ve wall but entertained the ideals we’re living for
Revolt back against the silence that’s waiting for us
We’ve all but ascertained the knowledge that get’s us close to home
Out toward the mountains
the ravens sulk among ruins
They picked clean all the skeletons
and the former world is now imagination
Passing moments will self destruct and get swept under the rug
Revolt back against the silence that’s waiting for us
We’ve wall but entertained the ideals we’re living for
Revolt back against the silence that’s waiting for us
We’ve all but ascertained the knowledge that get’s us close to what we think is home
Revolt back against the silence that’s waiting for us
We’ve wall but entertained the ideals we’re living for
Revolt back against the silence that’s waiting for us
We’ve all but ascertained the knowledge that get’s us close to what we think is our forever home

Static In The Air
I lie awake as confusion pounds
The subtle sting of your words that have been rehearsed
Lost inside a parade of sound
that stumbles clumsily around my head until it hurts
A supernova of tears burst out
then the apathy settles like a silent snow
Sedated so I won’t drink for now
I’m not sure there is anything I want to know
I hear all the words you speak
but I can’t make them clear
so I listen to the static in the air
I hear all the words you speak
but I can’t make them clear
so I listen to the static in the air
(Won’t you)
Spill out your empty promises and failed predictions
Veiled behind your broken logic and your contradictions
Then I recall how innocence can mask intention
but I can’t distinguish fact from my imagination
What if this process is insane
I hear all the words you speak
but I can’t make them clear
so I listen to the static in the air
I hear all the words you speak
but I can’t make them clear
so I listen to the static in the air
I reach across the bed
now that you’re not there
and I begin to crumble
I hear all the words you speak
but I can’t make them clear
so I listen to the static in the air
I hear all the words you speak
but I can’t make them clear
so I listen to the static in the air

Runners
There are these gremlins
a fleet of them
millions
conspiring inside my head
They want to trap me
with systems collapsing
around the mistakes I’ve made
This opposition has ruled my ambition
to flee from this crushing fate
from my decisions
and futile condition
away from this game I play
Why do I gravitate towards one thing more than any other?
If I keep pressing on then I can still pretend
that everything I am running from won’t catch me in the end
But still the cataclysmic fissure is near
Hold your breath till it’s all over, maybe we’ll be here
I can’t hide from the damage that’s been done
but I can try to release myself and run.
I try to face them
and try to erase them
and banish them from my head
They come in tidal waves
earthquakes
and hurricanes
all of the things I dread
All my addictions
and other afflictions
Calamity up ahead!
What to protect me?
No signs to direct me
away from the life I’ve lead
Why do I gravitate towards one thing more than any other?
If I keep pressing on then I can still pretend
that everything I am running from won’t catch me in the end
But still the cataclysmic fissure is near
Hold your breath till it’s all over, maybe we’ll be here
If I keep pressing on then I can still pretend
that everything I am running from won’t catch me in the end
But still the cataclysmic fissure is near
Hold your breath till it’s all over, maybe we’ll be here

Where do you even start with this song? Everything about this song touches my soul and is so fun to listen to. The bridge had to be my favorite part of the song. The Dual vocals are one of my favorite things about this band.
