It's gone from light to gray But I'll move those clouds away Letting the sun shine through In this ode to you Let the demons have their place If so it's angels you'll create And disguised within the dark Light will wait My heart I owe you my soul Will you please accept Please accept this honor This is all for you Transcend We flip towards the sun Wheels skidding on the road A flowing sea of red The whole city groans My heart I owe you my soul Will you please accept Please accept this honor This is all for you Transcend Will you please accept Please accept it's over This is all for you Transcend Fiasco Rubberneck Passing motorists A mangled tuna-can-car rests Repair this tattered skin Hold it in your hand You've already glistened through the window You've already set us all Free Free Please accept Please accept this honor This is all for you Transcend Will you please accept Please accept it's over This is all for you Transcend Fiasco

Bring back those good old days Nothing feels right, nothing ever goes my way I threw my future away Now I'll walk alone, out here in the cold Wandering astray Where's my future? Gonna need a home You'd expect the same, now, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you? Your journey back to birth Is haunting you It's haunting you Your departure from the Earth Is haunting you It's haunting you Only those who accept Will find that acceptance in return We have been trimmed down like hedges Told just to sit and wilt and spit at each other from a distance With constant resistance from you Gonna need a home You'd expect the same, now, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you? Your journey back to birth Is haunting you It's haunting you Your departure from the Earth Is haunting you It's haunting you It's been ten years strong That's much too long It's time to do something good for my health Time to do something good for myself It's been ten years strong That's much too long It's time to do something good for my health Time to do something good for myself I've wasted all of this time I've wasted all of this time Your journey back to birth It's haunting you It's haunting you Your departure from the Earth It's haunting you It's haunting you Your journey back to birth It's haunting you It's haunting you Your departure from the Earth It's haunting you It's haunting you

I'm not your star I'm not that beam of light Here to save your life To make your wallet fat While mine's on a diet It's not my greatest care But simple needs are scarce It's never ending It really seems unfair But lately I don't care I don't care about much I've given up trying So sing about love Sing about lust So they will care It's the same difference That's what happens When you play catch without arms It's what sets, sets, sets us apart Well that's what happens When you compromise your art It's what set, set, set us apart We've got this far I don't know if you care But I think that you should swear Or something of the sorts Show me you're trying ! So sing about love Sing about lust So they will care It's the same difference That's what happens When you play catch without arms It's what sets, sets, sets us apart Well that's what happens When you compromise your art It's what set, set, set us apart Set the faith so they will find it If there's a hope they can't deny it Sing about lust so they can feel it Sing about love so they can sing it Sing it Well that's what happens When you play catch without arms It's what sets, sets, sets us apart Well that's what happens When you compromise your art It's what set, set, set us apart I'm not your star I'm not that beam of light Here to save your life Oh no

Remove my hands and feet Watch me crawl on my stubs Throw me to the streets Watch me fall on down head first It's not that simple I've needed this from the start To guide my way You'll be okay It's made life simple I've needed this from the start to wake up If all else fails If all turns to dust Set sail on a ship built from trust If all else fails And all starts to rust Set sail on a ship built for us It's time to retreat I sawed it down to the bone The canyons are too deep yeah Decided to run like a child Decided to run to rescue It took too long to wake up If all else fails If all turns to dust Set sail on a ship built from trust If all else fails And all starts to rust Set sail on a ship built for us It's not that simple Needed this from the start To guide my way You'll be okay It's made life simple I've needed this from the start to wake up If all else fails If all turns to dust Set sail on a ship built from trust If all else fails And all starts to rust Set sail on a ship built for us For us For us

I wonder Why I'm running around again I took my chances I may have lost my best friend Yeah I wonder Like sprinting on a frozen pond I took my chances I may have lost my best friend A couple of drinks mid-day, mid-day, mid-day Haven't felt this way, this way since yesterday A couple of drinks I sway, I sway, I sway I haven't felt this way since yesterday I wonder Why I'm running around again I took my chances I may have lost my best friend Yeah I wonder Like sprinting on a frozen pond I took my chances I may have lost my best friend A couple of drinks A couple of drinks mid-day, mid-day, mid-day Haven't felt this way, this way since yesterday Beginning to sink and fade and fade and fade There's nothing that I would trade to feel this way I wonder Why I'm running around again I took my chances I may have lost my best friend Yeah I wonder Like sprinting on a frozen pond I took my chances I may have lost my best friend A couple of drinks I wonder Why I'm running around again I took my chances I may have lost my best friend Yeah I wonder Like sprinting on a frozen pond I took my chances I may have lost my best friend I wonder Running around again I wonder May have lost my best friend I wonder Running around again I wonder May have found my best friend

The old returns While the new can bore Cause you're the one who fell Into a self created hell We've worn it out It took time to realize It's a chore to recognize What your world could take It's overgrown Take it all away now Real soon we'll take this All the way down The old returns While the new can bore Cause you're the one who fell Into a self created hell There is no way out When you build a stubborn shell That shields from any help We've worn it out You tried to maximize But it came as no surprise You hurled a stake To your own dome Take it all away now Real soon we'll take this All the way down Please Don't Go Stay The old returns While the new can bore Cause you're the one who fell Into a self created hell There is no way out When you build a stubborn shell That shields from any help The old returns While the new can bore Cause you're the one who fell Into a self created hell Take it all away now There is no way out There is no way out When you build a stubborn shell That shields from any help We've worn it out We've worn it out

I'm the addict on the corner I'm the lawyer in the tower I'm the body with the coroner No, the leader with all the power You're the pillow, the cool side The sand during high tide The cocktail, poolside The water when clouds collide From the inside out we were formed And from the inside out we will fall Soon this all will come to an end I'm a local but a foreigner Still the addict yet I'm sober Still the body with the coroner Many friends yet still a loner You're the pillow, the cool side The sand during high tide The cocktail, poolside The water when clouds collide From the inside out we were formed And from the inside out we will fall Soon this all will come to an end Soon this all will come to an end

She's to blame, I'll erase routine With a spark to ignite the flame And in this struggle of guilt to tame It's freedom I'll obtain She tied me up, removed my crown Bittered all good taste I'm sorry for everything I've done I can't deny instinct Look what I have found A seashell in a sea of shells I'm good at planting my own seeds To sprout an endless hell It's dark like Poe Forgiveness came, we embrace the key Found water to douse the flame We ended our difference of soul and brain Forever we are changed I've just set out on a brand new race Can we keep the pace I can't believe what we've become I'll leave without a trace Look what I have found A seashell in a sea of shells I'm good at planting my own seeds To sprout endless hell It's dark like Poe Leave without a trace I'll leave without a trace

I harmonize with a million screaming laughs That haunted those before us Preaching symphonies while the chorus yelled: "Unity" It's based on facts It's based on facts You spit-shined my corroded halo Then packaged it away You spit-shined my corroded halo Then left it to decay "Will you watch your step The boring story's left" "You're feeling lost in here", she said "Come in here, the pain won't last" You spit-shined my corroded halo Then packaged it away You spit-shined my corroded halo Then left it to decay Take this weight off my shoulders And move it to my brain You spit-shined my corroded halo Then packaged it away You spit-shined my corroded halo Then left it to decay

I looked to the sky Saw my body die Got to reappear up there It's where I want to be In the university I've found, I've found My own college I've found, I've found A way to resolve this I'm not inside you You're all around me Is this what you needed to hear to comfort you I will wait all this time above you Is this what you wanted Is this what you needed to hear Take all that I've known Is this what you wanted Is this what you need me to fear Take all that I've found I'm not inside you You're all around me Is this what you needed to hear to comfort you I'll wait all this time above you I looked to the ground Was pleased with what I'd found Got to reappear up here It's where I'll always be In the university I've found, I've found All my problems I'm gone, I'm gone I finally solved this I'm not inside you You're all around me Is this what you needed to have to comfort you I'll wait all this time above you

So long to the hurt and stormy weather It's time for a cleansing Nice try, but you can't avoid this forever You know it makes you feel good Feeding on your soul You'll search for a cure You'll want to be sure You don't lose control You'll want to be sure That this is really you So long since I can even remember It's time for renewal You know that you won't have fun after You know it makes you feel good Feeding on your soul You'll search for a cure You'll want to be sure You don't lose control You'll want to be sure That this is really you Fell towards the fire But shielded myself from sin Things are looking brighter This is the way I want to live So long to the hurt and stormy weather It's time for a cleansing Nice try, but you can't control me forever Feeding on your soul You'll search for a cure You'll want to be sure You don't lose control I'll always be sure You'll want to be sure So long to the end You'll always be there But you are gone to me

I was looking down at you smiling up at me For once I held you tight, but shadowed arms grabbed at me Your head was in the clouds, now those clouds are in your head It's when you needed me, so I listened to what you said Look another year went by They keep passing by God damn I didn't even die Too old and slow I've grown Well I fought time, but lost It was love like a callus you're scarred enough to be Tough and immune, my body adapts you see To all above my head and all below my feet Know that's one freedom you'll never take from me Look another year went by They keep passing by God damn I didn't even die Too old and slow I've grown Well I fought time, but lost To criticize and judge How did I end up here With these standards I'm forced to love Make me disappear Hold tight To criticize and judge How did I end up here With these standards I'm forced to love Make me disappear Hold tight Look another year went by Hold tight
