you lost your ID by the side of the road you can feel the change coming, it's about to get cold and you saw it coming cut off your nose just to spite your little face some people never learn there's a time and there's a place and the engine's humming if you sell out on the good side I can tell you what it rips her heart it rips her heart out you walk along and pretend it's just a game you never put up stakes, so you'll never be to blame and the pain is numbing throw yourself down with a twinkle in your eye the trees are on fire, it's okay now you're alive and you've seen it coming if you sell out on the good side I can tell you what it rips her heart it rips her heart out

out of sight out of mind tole the bell with cotton gloves it's a lie believe the lie let him take everything close your eyes it'll all be fine no, it won't just feast on the thought feast on the thought of it all living in a hazy dream "bleeding hearts" in slow demise never enough let him take everything a figure head only a name The Pyrite King just feast on the thought feast on the thought of it all and fall behind the endless lies that make news just call it off this would-be-boss obeyed you (it's a sign) "I can take away everything all the time" "I can take away, and make you mine"

black box machine it feels heavy kind of like regret just keep the peace in the feedback loop the seas will rise up and take us all into the deep (it's time to look up) I don't want to go back I don't want to go back from here I don't want to give in I don't want to give in to fear no way out now just bide your time with your face fixed inside the screen adjust the angles and labor over flower crowns as mourning jewelry (it's time to look up) I don't want to go back I don't want to go back from here I don't want to give in I don't want to give in to fear

Cooler Heads 01:52
it's what you feel not what you know the facts don't matter don't matter anymore cooler heads will not prevail obfuscate, pivot, flip & spin away cooler heads will not prevail

I take your number and I stand in line for a thousand intermissions to pull the curtains all the lights that blind you'll be there it's a give-in just pile it on and take a photograph your face reminds me of someone else aimless and far away I know you'll find me with canned applause and indifferent smiles you must forgive us our opinions to feed them scraps watch them lap it up it's not much, but it's a living so close your eyes, it is a vision of a path unwinding with no regrets and vivid memories, you'll stop your hiding (If it feels right) I see it all you're getting further away

clouds that spiral in the air swarming starlings dance I'll be waiting with baited breath I'll be waiting to see you there to take apart the things you leave behind all i wanted was a little time all i wanted was peace of mind all i wanted was one more try straw fields parting in your wake I know you at a glance the air is thick with things left unsaid I reach your hand but I fall instead to take apart the things you leave behind

just make it shine bright from the outside la bella figura has taken everything just make it shine bright from the outside tell me all your lies I'll believe them but you're diaphanous I see though you la bella figura has taken everything just make it shine bright from the outside just give me one reason left to trust you I'll be waiting in that same old posture for the words I've come to know so well they make the eyes roll back inside my head I give you all my heart and you ignore it I bring you to the truth and you abhor it la bella figura has taken everything just make it shine bright from the outside
8.
where the light bends it makes a halo above pretty pictures of all the faces you love back in the day back when it all made sense that life is over that life is over now the future is a gaping precipice without a hero to save us from this evil mess never look back on how things might have been 'cause that life is over that life is over
