Weighing 03:17
self-made man in love with his creator we confused you with facts and broke your precious halo presentation is not the same thing as your intention your intention differs from its execution yes, its true these are the things weighing on you what to do? with these things weighing on you lie, steal, and murder with a loaded gun you succeed, you're living on the run lie, steal, and murder with a bold stroke of your pen you succeed, you're living in the sun again and again yes, its true these are the things weighing on you what to do? with these things weighing on you

i could see myself put in some kind of situation where i might need a lawyer to contact satellites and stations to alert all the nations that it's come to this to end your vacations with a photo and a kiss because you didn't want to believe it when we told you cause you didn't want to believe it when we warned you that strange looking men have taken over the government no you wouldn't be able to tell anyone no you wouldn't be able to sell it to anyone they come dressed in dark blue suits custom fit for their selection with a penchant to win and shit-eating grin to avoid any detection "we come in peace, and we offer you no harm." i'll take that into consideration when sounding the alarm because you didn't want to believe it when we told you cause you didn't want to believe it when we warned you that strange looking men have taken over the government no you wouldn't be able to tell anyone no you wouldn't be able to sell it to anyone no you wouldn't be able to yell at anyone no you wouldn't be able to run

got you in my sight got my laces tight have you looking over your shoulder and my breathing's in time like an emcee's rhyme making moves has got me bolder a four-minute mile brings a smile to all the crowds that cheer for you like a cold december the fabled hairy hare a look of shock as i make my move you forgot that it's free you forgot that its me you forgot to be real intimidation leads to trepidation it's why you even play this game but you will never win cause disco is a sin perhaps you'll learn it when you're older you forgot that it's free you forgot that its me you forgot to be real

la pelona rapped her knuckles upon your door some time ago we adorn the floral coronas and ignite the copal with sugar skulls and marigolds laying out your favorite morsels and faded old photos memories we can handle burning votive candles with sugar skulls and marigolds our lives have not been the same since she guided you away our lives have not been the same since she guided you away this is the celebration to share we adorn these altars with the utmost care up and down the street it shows you're here each year in early november we gather together and try to remember to celebrate away the fear this is how we know you're near with sugar skulls and marigolds our lives have not been the same since she guided you away our lives have not been the same since she guided you away

Guarantees 04:18
i want to tell you how to fell but i can't find the words feel like a hole in the ground by which you are trying to swerve got a taste of it and it was so fantastic never wondered whether it would be everlasting everlasting do you think it's gone too far? cause i do not think it's gone far enough i only want you to see there never is a guarantee that you might not loose it some might call it an aggressive act of treason but all along you have always stated the reasons digging deeper maybe questions will get answered when in the end i wonder does it even matter? it doesn't matter do you think it's gone too far? cause i do not think it's gone far enough i only want you to see there never is a guarantee that you might not loose it

Cryptograms 03:53
i could live within the forest of your eyes sharing the same starry sky inside a moment in time she pulls me close and whispers in my ear sweet little nothings i hope we soon will feel i will break your code i will break your code steal what has been yours to take from the very first time we exchanged a look and promptly blew my mind the seamless suspension the seamless suspension of time mystery is your aura keep the details oh so guarded make it hard to decipher the cryptograms you are sending walking downtown towards the red star bar wondering just how far we are into each other soon becoming unglued steal what's been yours to take from the very first time we exchanged a look and promptly blew my mind before we even verbalized before we even verbalized the connection

Ascend 04:33
i am a part of that past a small role in retrospect the inverse is more profound with all the sights and sounds the faces may change the places remain not quite the same as we ascend separation restored regional memories rush into the fore making the present surreal with past emotions once ignored all that I once was pales in comparison to what we now stand to be as we ascend separation restored i am, i am, a flood these streets they speak to what once was we are, we are, a flood all of these intentions directed above all that I once was pales in comparison to what we now stand to be as we ascend separation restored
