1: Breakerfall

There’s a girl on a ledge, she’s got nowhere to turn ‘Cause all the love that she had was just wood that she burned Now her life is on fire, it’s no one’s concern She can blame the world, or prey till dawn But only love can breakerfall Breakerfall Only love can breakerfall Fall It’s like she lost her invitation to the party on earth And she’s standing outside hating everyone here She’s her own disease, crying to her doll But only love can breakerfall Breakerfall Only love can breakerfall Yeah Fall, breakerfall Can breakerfall Ooh yeah, only love can breakerfall Love, love, can breakerfall, fall Love, love, can breakerfall Only love can breakerfall

2: Gods' Dice

It’s out of my hands, making all hands meet Stumble as it’s crumbling out of reach It’s in the cards of destiny Your sanity in tow Designate my luck Resignate This power has no roots to guide, no role Trust me, rusted minds refuse to go Unwillingness, it’s meaningless To walk away in vain Designate my will Designate my will Resignate My will is crashing, synapses flashing slow Days like frame by frame, where do they go? Yeah, why fight? Forget it Can’t I spend it after I go? Roll them high Throw them again All Gods’ dice Monkey driven, call this living, ha ha ha Too much thought, it’s overwrought, a hole Minding yours, what’s mine, not yours Will finish us off Designate my life Designate a view Designate my will, my will, my will, I will Resignate my god

3: Evacuation

The sirens scream wanton attention Time to take heed and change directions Time to take stock and make omissions Evacuation Evacuation Time to take leave all formal functions Time to plant seeds of reconstruction No time this time to feign reluctance It’s like you’re waiting for a diamond shore to wash your way Bets put aside, you’re evil, let’s crawl into your face A vision, vague or not, raising a frightful wake-you-up Time for evacuation Evacuation Evacuation Evacuation Evacuation Evacuation Evacuation There was a solemn man who watched his twilight disappear in the sand Altered by a fallen eagle, a warning sign He sensed worry could be strength, with a plan said time for Evacuation Evacuation Evacuation Evacuation Evacuation, evacuation Evacuation, evacuation Evacuation, evacuation Evacuation, evacuation Evacuation, evacuation Evacuation, evacuation

4: Light Years

I’ve used hammers made out of wood I have played games with pieces and rules I’ve deciphered tricks at the bar But now you’re gone, I haven’t figured out why I’ve come up with riddles and jokes about war I’ve figured out numbers and what they’re for I’ve understood feelings, and I’ve understood words But how could you be taken away? And wherever you’ve gone, and wherever we might go It don’t seem fair, today just disappeared Your light’s reflected now, reflected from afar We were but stones, your light made us stars The heavy breath, awakened regrets Backpages and days alone, that could have been spent Together, but we were miles apart Every inch between us becomes light years now No need to be void, or save up on life You got to spend it all And wherever you’ve gone, and wherever we might go It don’t seem fair, you seemed to like it here Your light’s reflected now, reflected from afar We were but stones, your light made us stars And wherever you’ve gone, and wherever we might go It don’t seem fair, today just disappeared Your light’s reflected now, reflected from afar We were but stones, your light made us stars

5: Nothing As It Seems

Don’t feel like home, he’s a little out And all these words elope, it’s nothing like your poem Putting in, in putting in, don’t feel like methadone A scratching voice, all alone, it’s nothing like your baritone It’s nothing as it seems, the little that he needs, it’s home The little that he sees is nothing, he concedes, it’s home One uninvited chromosome, a blanket like the ozone It’s nothing as it seems, all that he needs, it’s home The little that he frees, is nothing, he believes Saving up a sunny day, something maybe two-tone Anything to call his own, a chip off the cornerstone Who’s kidding, rainy day, a one-way ticket headstone Occupations overthrown, a whisper through a megaphone It’s nothing as it seems, the little that he needs, it’s home The little that he sees is nothing, he concedes, it’s home And all that he frees, a little bittersweet, it’s home It’s nothing as it seems, the little that you see, it’s home

6: Thin Air

7: Insignificance

All in all, it’s no one’s fault Excuses turn to carbon walls Blame it all on chemical intercourse The swallowed seeds of arrogance Breeding in the thoughts of ten Thousand fools who fight irrelevance The full moon is dead skin The one down here’s wearing thin So set up the ten pins As the human tide rolls in Like a ball that’s spinning Bombs dropping down Overhead, underground It’s instilled, to wanna live Bombs dropping down Please forgive our hometown In our insignificance “Turn the jukebox up,” he said Dancing in irreverence Play C-3, let the song protest The plates begin to shift Perfect lefts come rolling in I was alone and far away When I heard the band start playing On the lip, late take off Bombs dropping down Overhead, underground It’s instilled, to wanna live Bombs dropping down Please forgive our hometown In our insignificance Feel like resonance of distance In the blood, the iron lies It’s instilled, to wanna live Bombs dropping down Please forgive our hometown In our insignificance In our insignificance

8: Of the Girl

Oh, he deals ‘em off, off the top, ties ‘em off Fills it up with his past, gets carried away Oh, half his life, a hand-me-down, wasted away Oh, he fills it up with the love of a girl Oh, he left it alone, drilled the pain with money to buy How he makes his getaway How he makes his getaway Oh, he chose a path, heavy the fall, quarter to four Fills his mind with the thought of a girl How he makes his getaway How he makes his getaway How he makes his getaway Getaway

9: Grievance

Have a drink, they’re buying Bottom of, bottle of denial Big guy, big eye watching me Have to wonder what it sees Progress laced with ramifications Freedom’s big plunge Pull the innocent from a crowd Raise the sticks, then bring ‘em down If they fail to obey If they fail to obey For every tool they lend us A loss of independence I pledge to my grievance to the flag ‘Cause you don’t give blood, then take it back again We’re all deserving of something more Progress, taste it, invest-it-all Champagne breakfast for everyone Break when the innocent when they’re proud Raise the stakes, then bring ‘em down If they fail to obey If they fail to obey Pledge my grievance to the flag Aw come on, don’t give blood, then take it back again We’re all deserving of something more I wanna breathe I wanna see I wanna taste Everyone I see I wanna run, when I’m up high I wanna run to the sea I only want life to be I just wanna be I will feel alive as long as I am free

10: Rival

All my rivals will see what I have in store My gun I’ve been harboring fleets in this reservoir Red sun And this nation’s about to explode Your disciples are riddled with metaphors Well-hung Better pony up and bring both your barrelfulls Not one As we release this unspeakable toll How’s our mother to damn these contributors With mud? How will the man who made chemicals difficult Shed blood? How’s our father supposed to be told?

11: Sleight of Hand

Routine was the theme He’d wake up, wash and pour himself into uniform Something he hadn’t imagined being As the merging traffic passed He found himself staring down At his own hands Not remembering the change Not recalling the plan Was it…? He was okay But wondering About wandering Was it age? By consequence? Or was he moved sleight of hand? Mondays were made to fall Lost on a road he knew by heart It was like a book he read in his sleep, endlessly Sometimes he hid in his radio Watching others pull into their homes While he was drifting On a line Of his own Off the line Off the side By the by As dirt turned to sand As if moved by sleight of hand When he reached the shore of his clip-on world He resurfaced to the norm Organized his few things, his coat and keys Any new realizations would have to wait Till he had more time More time A time to dream To himself He waves goodbye To himself I’ll see you on the other side Another man moved by sleight of hand

12: Soon Forget

Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a Corvette Thinks he’ll get the girl, he’ll only get the mechanic What’s missing? He’s living a day he’ll soon forget That’s one more time around, the sun is going down The moon is out, but he’s drunk and shouting, putting people down He’s pissing, he’s living a day he’ll soon forget Counts his money every morning, the only thing that keeps him horny Locked in a giant house, that’s alarming The townsfolk, they all laugh Sorry is the fool who trades his love for hi-rise rent Seems the more you make equals the loneliness you get And it’s fitting, he’s barely living a day he’ll soon forget That’s one more time around, and there is not a sound He’s lying dead, clutching Benjamins, never put the money down He’s stiffening, we’re all whistling, a man we’ll soon forget

13: Parting Ways

Behind her eyes, there’s curtains And they’ve been closed to hide the flames, remains She knows their future’s burning But she can smile just the same, same And though her mood is fine today There’s a fear they’ll soon be parting ways Standing like a statue A chin of stone, a heart of clay, hey And though he’s too big of a man to say There’s a fear they’ll soon be parting ways Drifting away Drifting away Drifting away Drifting away Drifting away Drifting away
