Fallen
All your mistakes are happening at the same time
You’re using all of your favors, at once.
You have to notice something different,
It’s in the air,
It’s on your face.
Maybe you need it this way
Maybe you can’t find the strength
You’re losing all of your favor
At once
You have to know, there’s something different
It’s in the air,
It’s on your face
You gave all you have, to someone else
Who didn’t notice
Who didn’t care what you lost for them
Or sacrificed
So you wrote their name down
And put it inside a bottle
Dropped it into the ocean,
For someone else to find
Maybe you’ll read it again
Maybe you can find the strength
There’s something different,
It’s in the air,
It’s on your face

Warrior
Read between the lines they draw for you
Underlying currents pull you any way they want to
You hate the role you have to play
And the things you have to say
But you carry on the burden you’ve picked up
You’re not the warrior you try to be
But you play the part
You’re not cut out to be this dangerous
You’re not the warrior you want to be
Don’t know what you are
You can’t resolve a way to get out

Nah, Ima Stay Here
(Namaste)
Are you getting all you need from me?
Are you happier, going where you wanted to?
I did not complain
Or try and make you stay here,
All I tried to do
Was get it right,
Give it all I’ve got
How can you explain whats happening
To ourselves
Stop pretending that it’s ok,
When it’s not?
I do not expect you to wallow in
Or suffer through this madness
I get it, it’s crazy
And you’re not that girl
All you have to gain from suffering
For someone else
Is sadness, and breaking to pieces
And you’re not that strong
You’re not that strong

Invoke
It’s never enough
Though I don’t need much,
Just something to satisfy
All of my desires
Burn away like fire into smoke,
Dissipated to invoke.
Call on it,
The joyous spirit,
To come and lift me higher
Till all of my designs
Burn away like fire into smoke
Dissipated to invoke

Foul Play
Give it all one last breath
Before all you own is on the curbside steps
You watch developments safely in your bed
And cry to yourself
Pretend it never happens
It’s deafening, and callousing
Close the shades
Hide away
You cared enough to form an opinion
But have given up on all the opposition
You suffer quietly again,
“who am I to do anything”
The time will come, but until then
“Ill pretend its not happening”
You’d throw the first stone you could find
If the conditions were right
You feel the most in bed, at night
Safely out of sight
All you have is sympathy
To lend to all this tragedy
All you give is sympathy
And never act
You never act

Push It Around
Feeling lost like I’ve never been
Clinging to the memories of getting it
And feeling apart of it
Like I’m in on something big
As I look in from the outside
While all of my friends
Forget about the good things I’ve done
And given up for nothing in return
Feeling lost and alone again
Clinging the wreckages of my methods
And thinking of how hard its been
To have to start over again

Revolve
It comes in waves year after year
The same old story
Playing out like a sad, sad song
I can wait but not for long
This empty room is speaking up
To all the things we can’t discuss
In fear it will turn to dust
Over the moon, for once
Knowing exactly how this turns out
Every year I find myself here
It comes in waves year after year
Another compromise appears
And all you sacrificed to get here
Seems it’s never enough
Over the moon, for once
Knowing exactly how this turns out
Every year I find myself here;
Running in circles to no end,
Getting a little bit closer again
Still every year, I find myself here
I can’t wait anymore
I can’t go through this again
Someone always has to leave,
And I’m a glutton for punishment
I can’t wait anymore
Guess this is the cost of progress

Chariots
Help me find the words to lift you up
Madness spreads across the Earth
But not into us
We’ve waited a thousand lives to see
The world ascend to a higher frequency
All at once we appeared,
Eliminating all fears
To put our souls to rest
So we see death as another step
Singing, carry us sweet chariots
Above this life
Into the light
Carry us, sweet chariots
Above this life
Into the light

Super Classic
I’ve seen the pieces you’ve been playing with
Oh, I’ve gotten a taste for your confidence
Can’t find a compliment
I get the feeling this is going on too long
All the space that’s in between
Gets lonely, lonelier
I won’t pretend it’s cause and effect
Hearing all of the warnings
Hiding out til the morning comes
Waiting for answers
And the truth that never shows
I’ve seen the seasons changing all along
Nothing ever stays the same
Just slowly fades away
To break into pieces and come back together
Again
Nothing ever disappears
As the revelation nears
I won’t pretend it’s cause and effect
Hearing all of the warnings
Hiding out til the morning comes
Waiting for answers
And the truth that never shows
I know you think you can’t escape
What’s happening these days
The turning of the wheel
Time is on our side
The terror of the night
Will turn into the day
