Over a fight, or a party, or the beach There's no reason to get upset Everyone gets what they get Maybe nobody needs anyone anymore And it all really is so casual It all really is so fragile Important things take precedence Gets hard to compete, seems not to make sense Hard to say how to spend all this time we've been lent
2.
it's us against the world tonight we're letting off those fireballs shaking floors fit to split the walls we are invincible, that's right insatiable appetite roaring in the dark, spill the gas, let off the spark waiting for the best thing, the best part
3.
light is pouring into the hall flames are dancing in the yard cracks are snaking up the wall the whole is about to become a part and we're moving now in relief against the sky I think I can hear you now with your voice in my mind I will wander till I die with your strength in my arms I will reclaim what once was mine they set up lights on poles to illuminate the ghosts right on the corner till I start to sway no cars go by, it begins to rain

she came walking over to me from across the room using legs to move and eyes to guide her gentle glide through the gloom I was confused, I used my hands to adjust my shirt she dropped the ball in my court and I watched it bounce once and roll out of bounds the language she spoke was so much like my own but I couldn't pick out the words in the sounds I wasn't confused, I used my hands and it didn't hurt I dropped the ball and watched it roll out of bounds and I let it roll

Exiled! 01:20
three to six AM - the black hours no sleeping, just stretching six feet in every direction the insanity chamber instrumental friends heads, necks, and bodies different flavors, like tone and frequency surgical listening universe of streets and grass a person is all the entertainment you need analyze and enjoy them rolling on rubber explosions flashlights to the front portable living room finishing up life something to do one day, like boarding a plane objects and objectives nowhere in sight
6.
wide open, weighed down with options locked in to a brutal occupation this administration will entertain no negotiations vindicated, free of constraint and aggravation watch as I open my hand anticipate what might be inside wake up at home in a flash of lightning go out and run full speed in the dark on the sand if you doubt me at all then you'll probably never understand peace, you'll never experience freedom is out of your reach hope is as likely as justice, washed up like a shell in a storm on a beach remember always to breathe, your physical strength is a lie channel the flames through your body ???????? maniacal exists, like everything else, in the beholder's eye extended, you've spent all your energy you're constantly hungry and weak get on your feet, it's late already all must be reinvented heal the wounds of the living and destroy the work of the dead invent all new reasons for trying and avoid being so easily misled demand that realignment is undertaken to the fullest anything else would be a waste of time

Perpetraitor 01:12
just when you least expect it that's when you'll be infected there's nothing that you can do there's nowhere that you can hide we win, you die they are the youth now tell them the truth
8.
we'll be drowning soon, for now we're still swimming floating along with the unstoppable current somewhere ahead in the tunnel, they're singing and the undertow drags over my head I'm holding my breath and now I'm exhaling I'm not holding my breath anymore and I wish I could say it's liberating but the truth is, I'm waiting for a benevolent hand to drag me right up and lay me out on the sand so I can stand up and and catch up again

(lyrics by Chris Skowronski) I had the strangest dream last night in which I met a crew of zombies they told me that roaming the earth all night left them little time for hobbies so I took them to the park and we all went on the swings and we talked about the NBA and lots of other things we were laughing in the park we were in the sun we were having fun had this other dream last night in which I saw you at the beach you set up a towel right near mine you were just within my reach so I asked you for a walk and we walked along the sea and I told you that I missed you and you told me the same thing too we were laughing by the sea we were in the sun we were having fun (lyrics by Barclay) rewire the power grid admire the flowers on your way it's so sad, I know, watching everything decay knowing nothing will remain
11.
do you feel better now that you've had some time to reflect? have you achieved clarity by remembering every comment? it will evaporate it was all in your mind it will only flash in the dark at night
12.
I've long been searching this great land pursuing answers I can understand in confusion, I looked to the sky cried out in the desert but my thirst was not satisfied cold and alone, at night on the sand I shouted in vain at the empty expanse the echoes nourished me, kept me alive returning to flourish at the center of the hive I have awakened I have arrived I have survived
13.
I can't, you can't, we can't ever know what's really going on we can't, we won't, we don't care now that part is dead, and we'll carry on I can't believe the hope is gone, but I've let it go I'll never be complete I could have gone on, but now I'll never know he can't, she can't, they can't turn it back the other way it's been going too long why try? I try, but why try? bird can't get out his song I can't be at peace knowing what could be, based on what has been I won't leave I'll stand outside till you let me in

Pratfall 02:07
the swarm will eventually descend and the world will be ravaged everyone will be forced to defend their lives in a savage world there is only one source of light that one heart of yours, beating phosphorescent through translucent skin fluorescent light from mouth when speaking the books are yours to rewrite when we wipe the slate clean hating our enemies hate is the enemy between us
15.
jump from sleep with readiness one language to speak, no words to complicate refine technique, remain fate is faithful there's nowhere left to run away to speed means nothing in the human cradle may you slip between the cameras in the trees past the lasers and razor wire down the daisycutter breezeway something lights your path today, you have to take a life crushing out a light gently but with lightning hand it is not up to you
