1.
Pale blue dot in the dark Still silence belies the tortuous parts A speck of dust stranded in the light A fraction of a heartbeat in the dead of the night
2.
Lluna 02:32
If I were a better man I would have torn myself to pieces But she’s gone so I only ravage the world Greed, pride, envy and loneliness I watch it burn through the emptiness Nothing can hurt me the way that she did Careless or heartless I couldn’t say Want is a dangerous war to wage Restless, I wrestle but I never win Someday when everything good is dead I’ll get that woman out of my head And bury myself in the ruin again
3.
Feeler 03:36
Bury the heart that you love With the one that you’re breaking Slain for a slip of relief Like all good company keeps The feelers from waking And wide-eyed I would compromise Set the stars alight For what you had in mind Seek all you seek Seekers laid waste around my hem Dripping in disbelief, like all good worshipers We were nothing without them And sometimes I would not deny The draw of paradise And what you had in mind
4.
Killer 03:16
Forgive the killer in me I forget the good in you Believe whatever you want to believe Whatever helps you to find peace Whatever you want to think about me Do whatever you have to do Better me than you Because what do I have to lose I feel the birds circle above Just like the thoughts we never spoke of If this is all we’ll ever be Then I’ll forgive and you forget me
5.
Ghost 03:12
In my mind, I already heard you, I already know And I calmly walk through the noise, I won't let it show Makes no difference what we do or how we try We'll watch the moon in all its pieces fall apart right where we lie So I just can't think Just can't think about it No I just can't think Just can't think at all So many voices, but yours the one that speaks within As dark as devils, I will crawl until I'm sprawled in all our sin You will forget me, we will be nothing in the end I'll watch you smile, eyes closed and wild, as I bask and it begins
6.
Betelgeuse 02:42
Trees called out as they died The flora burned and fell up to the sky In a funeral of howling I caught your words as they rang true and bright Nothing's ever stopped me from loving you but it may be this tonight We tried to outrun The last cast of the shadows The final breath of the sun The light in your eyes As we stared up at the moment The fireworks ripped through the sky
7.
Hound 03:47
Whether I'm bored or I'm lonely When drug or drink won’t drop me down Thoughts rush in that seem to own me The tighter the leash the bigger the hound And the sound of all my Questions dashed like broken glass I try but I can’t explain I'm lying awake with how little I know How much I obsess How far it can go And there's so much to do So few words to say To kill a wicked thing that I Could never seem to chase away I crave the stillness I remembered The quiet confidence through gunshy eyes Now I have teeth to tear and torn up I surrender The way this goes, I’m bound Still you don't know the sound of my Questions dashed like broken glass I try but I can’t explain I'm lying awake with how little I know How much I obsess How far it can go And there's so much to do So few words to say To kill a wicked thing that I Could never seem to chase away
8.
Fallen 02:57
Fallen, I fought against My better self and judgment Gave in to all that I gave up Convinced, I almost believed what I made up If I'm not bothered I'll never move Haunting whispers of what I should do Seeing all as it could be Loved you more than you loved me Don’t blame me for leaving I won’t blame you at all Spent all our time wondering Just how far we would fall
9.
Magic Horse 04:24
10.
Time Jumper 03:39
Here I am again Running like hell through the desert A wasted place in my mind A moonlit sky fills the night I counted days I was alone Waited for something to carry me home Beyond the light, beyond the dark Carry my heaviest burden my Always a shadow of smoke I saw whatever was coming Fragile as water in flames A vision I'd take to the grave I counted days I was alone Waited for something to carry me home Beyond the light, beyond the dark Carry my heaviest burden my heart
11.
Rapture 02:31
Raptured, exquisitely captured No one else walks like a god Trembling hands, half monster/half man Human being is hard enough
12.
And on it the sum of our joy and pain Everyone you've ever heard of Every thought you've tried to explain Every martyr every cheat Every coward and holy being Every innocent, unknowing creature Ravenous and righteous beast Every rapture, every law Every killer without cause Every kindness, every touch Every couple mad in love Every tyrant every king Every sad and wondrous thing We've ever done in the name of God and country Love and terror Greed and boredom Peace and order Vengeance, independence But lonely still The only home we know
