Forever lost in the space Between the mountains and the sea Never forgive, never forget God's grace will never comfort me again And I'm spent I've worn out my welcome in this place Now I've come to take the throne

My intention is to explore the realm of consciousness And the human condition To make mention of my gratitude and procession I speak without apprehension This constancy in unity (Oh whoa, oh whoa) Is all that I know and all that I see Existence will consume us all (Oh whoa, existence, oh whoa) And what we will grow to be What confines you? Who holds the strings? And how does it define your purpose? I want to know, I want to know Your perception, give us everything you have Give us the truth And we'll give you consistency We'll give you consistency A place to reside in this complex design We'll give you consistency Where grandeur is fated and fear can resign We'll give you consistency Carve your path (Manifest destiny) Stake a claim (Rewrite your history) Do the math (As flawless as entropy) Make a name (Disregard vanity, disregard vanity, disregard vanity) Oh, brother Can you hear me speaking? Oh, brother Can't you see you're still sleeping? This constancy in unity (Oh whoa, oh whoa) Is all that I know and all that I see Existence will consume us all (Oh whoa, existence, oh whoa) And what we will grow to be I'll be your redeemer from this world you created Will we know God?

I went wandering around the devil's sea Searching for the skeleton key I tried to drown my demons but I taught them how to swim (To unlock my patience) I keep giving in, cutting holes in my boat (And understand my self-control) They dance on the sails and set fire to my hope To tame the lion that is will is a burden and a blessing Most just let desire run its course But I (but I) will not sit idly by And let (and let) him devour my roots All of my doubt does nothing but monopolize I tell myself "To let it go, let it go" When you realize your addictions keep you polarized Let it go, let it go We detach and isolate When we're just fractions of a whole But in the ways, we are connected Lie the signal and the soul (Signal and the soul) But I (but I) will not sit idly by And sell (and sell) my confidence for timid ways All of my doubt does nothing but monopolize I tell myself "To let it go, let it go" When you realize your addictions keep you polarized Let it go, let it go I'll cut you out Never to haunt me again Never again

First, we must prove we can work That we are deserving of the penance and the sacred dirt Because our constitution is buried in the soil While our ambition seeks to ascertain and toil in the high Do you really know what's real anymore? Do you really know what's real? Then, we must move Invite ourselves as conduits To congregate in lieu Of all the disparity we hold in our hearts And the unanswered questions that tear us, tear us apart Do you really know what's real anymore? Do you really know what's real? I could show you everything I know But I was told that honest art is dead You could give me a bed when I've got nowhere to go But you were told that good nature is all in your head Woo When will we lead ourselves to water And drink ourselves clean in the well? When will we see our sins as fodder? Transcend the judgement and bid farewell When we are one, we will discern a meaning When we are one, we are consecrated We are consecrated Finally, we are understanding We will find solace We will find solitude

I am a man of conviction Good intentions and humility You are a liar with no remorse A boy with no solidity I dream bigger and brighter Softer and louder Broader and more in tune To delve into the conscious space That is my self-indulgent swoon Have I ever steered you wrong? Have I ever done you harm? All I wanted was the best for us But you're still sounding the alarm Have I given you anything short of everything essential In showing you your potential? You will take all you want from me Oh, the innocence I lack You will take all you want from me But I will take it all back in the end I'll never lay down and die For I am all that is love, all that is light No, I'll never compromise For I was born of this world to take back the night, night Mortality is cyclical We cringe at every yaw But finality is infinite And universal law You will take all you want from me Oh, the innocence I lack You will take all you want from me But I will take it all back in the end

On the day you sold your faith for a chance to be heard You spoke so softly that no one could make out your words With all those thoughts on salvation you've yet to convey And the constant maintenance of yourself on display Are you okay-ay? I feel the weight of the world Reshape, reform and progress I hear the dissonance of ignorance Relive, retain and convalesce Am I cursed to walk the earth empty handed and afraid Of every tangible outcome or every possible mistake? My eyes burn brighter with each passing gaze And I know that in the end, I have numbered their days So it goes I feel the weight of the world Reshape, reform and progress I hear the dissonance of ignorance Relive, retain and convalesce Oh, Contra, Contra We give you everything to mean nothing at all Oh, Contra, Contra We give you everything to mean nothing at all (You're just a stranger) Oh, Contra, Contra We give you everything o mean nothing at all (You're just a stranger) Oh, Contra, Contra We give you everything to mean nothing at all

I've been treading water, tracing fire across the sky Killing all the daylight in your un-dreaming eyes Would you hear a melody if it didn't rhyme? Could you feel a rhythm? Seal your place in time? For centuries, we've squandered everything that's sacred These centuries we've stuttered to replicate the frequency The frequency, the frequency I was born to remain You were born to resist All the lies you maintain All the cues that I missed We were the invulnerable everything with nothing left to feel As you and I divide, we'll compromise and learn to know what's real Your wanderlust never carried us Nor satisfied the need to be saved Your highness never pardoned us Now we wait in squalor as saints I am the tyrant, you are the defeated I am the ocean, you are the depleted I am the beggar, you are the wealthy I am the proud, you are the one who made me Don't let go My arms are full and my burden heavy I need to know that all of this is more than temporary Don't let go My arms are full and my burden heavy I need to know that all of this is more than temporary We were the invulnerable everything with nothing left to feel As you and I divide, we'll compromise and learn to know what's real We'll never know what's real We'll never know what's real

Oh, my friend Look at what we've built Hermetic sanctuaries from all our pain and guilt They say it comes in waves The swell and the receding As you and I both know These weighted thoughts are never fleeting This great exchange (Who will proceed us) Our egos displaced (When we fade away) Life rearranged (To prove it's not pointless) Providence interlaced (So that we can stay) You claim to be a martyr but your hands are far too clean You claim to be a martyr but your hands are far too clean These post-modern methods have done us all in We've lost sight of the function, now where to begin?

It's easy to get lost Swimming through the currents of absolutes, of us and them Now a history of vanity is all that we have left And it's time to clean up the mess This can't be all there is We were born for so much more than prescriptions and caving in This can't be all there is I've seen hope when love is fleeting Broken men rebuilt in the image of what we will grow to be As evolution marches on, the helix frays A future birthed for all of man But would you say the same? Or hold rationale to circumvent blame? This can't be all there is We were born for so much more than prescriptions and caving in This can't be all there is I've seen hope when love is fleeting Broken men rebuilt in the image of what we will grow to be We hold our bones to the light And pray that our fractures have earned us the right to be saved But in the gravity of our situation We have learned man is simply undeserving and impossible to mold If at any point you find this burden too heavy to bear And in turn, feel yourself sinking in the almighty sea of despair Then I promise you this I will jump ship the first chance I get, I get Then I promise you this I will jump ship the first chance I get, I get I will comfort you (We can save each other) I will comfort you, ah (We can save each other) (We can save each other, we can save each other) I will comfort you (We can save each other) I will comfort you, ah (We can save each other) (We can save each other, we can save each other) Then I promise you this I will jump ship the first chance I get, I get Then I promise you this I will jump ship the first chance I get, I get

I am the voice that sounds in the back of your mind when you believe someone has done you wrong that which you have innocently taken. As justification for hostility to those around you. But listening in, so clever is my phrasing that you might find yourself as the recipient; And hear not hostility, but a questioning of your assumptions. This is my purpose, to help you toward a greater understanding It's constantly spinning through the air, constantly changing which side we face. And when it hits the ground, you and I will die. It helps us greatly to know it. Doesn't matter which side this coin lands on. When in reality, where one man's freedom is another man's prison, and our lives are in thrall of a lover's death. We're all so hungry for something real, but we'll never know. We never did learn to give, only take So let's make a bet on what happens when we die: Will we float away in distinct rays into the sky? Just listen carefully for your do is coming? Just breath before you get left behind? Just like you do every time, holding onto nothing but a memory of how it all used to be. Things were so simple, yet I was so ungrateful. Trapped in a void ever so hungry for our demise. You made us in your image like a broken mirror. You gave us a part of yourself so you could see we were lost and shattered. But that was seven years. We tirelessly travel the land, always further west. Always absent from our eyes but built in our hearts. From when I speak of you, I will never know. But when I do know, I will never speak of you again

Dreamer, are you listening? All of your children sit and wonder Where have you been? We came here for the sound To overcome the shaking ground beneath my feet Buried under the soil to expand Rebuild the monument lost in sand Restore the balance to the land To those of you desperately searching for the end You'll search forever in the dark To those of you eager to begin again Your eager eyes won't tell life and death apart It's time to wake up Dreamer, you're not listening All of your children wane and wander Where have you been? We came here for the sound To overcome the shaking ground beneath my feet Buried under the soil to expand Rebuild the monument lost in sand Restore the balance to the land We want the cure to everything we can't afford We want the cure to everything we can't afford We want the cure to everything we can't afford This life is not enough for us We want the cure to everything that we can't afford This life is not enough for us We want eternity and more, to play God in a metaphor Oh, you restless ungrateful When will you learn? You manifest the construct You only borrow what you earn The temple that you seek, it isn't mine Then let it burn, we'll cast our stones aside I've given you the tools of grand design Overgrown thoughts of our demise The nature of the gift is astringent Trading faiths, empire's remorse The complex of ascent is contingent Ends of time, redesign recourse But this world that you've created deals in murder and deceit Where profit margins far outweigh the death toll of defeat And your leaders have abandoned every shred of moral code The reflexatory impulse of a planet growing cold So if life is an illusion, and death is just a door Then we must come to the conclusion that we don't know what's in store And that answer begs the question, well, what is it you believe? But existence is subjective, you only know what you receive And I'll write this down on paper, so that I can sound it out Document a conscious function we can't afford to go without And if feeling is believing, you cannot hold it with your fists But if you need to know the answers, then let me ask you this When you pass away, will you leave behind your mistakes? Will you move onto unconscious bliss or dissipate in the abyss? Based on decisions that you made? Well, I know you won't find me there Well, I know you won't find me there Well, I know you won't find me there Well, I know you won't find me there (You won't find me there) Well, I know you won't find me there Well, I know you won't find me there Well, I know you won't find me there Well, I know you won't find me there We've shaped the earth, our brothers come to call Trace your roots, strengthen your resolve Where is our resolve? Where is our resolve? Where is our resolve? Where is our resolve?
