You know you´re alone when you only reflect sun The timing is gone there´s no laugh in the fun You stay on your own it takes more than your sum to stand still in time It's easier to run It's got to be lights out You've got to be found out And it's not the worst When you're gone you've got to be smoked out You've got to be caught up with and you're not the first The world drops you off and you slide right through the day The slip takes a hold your feet stumble in clay Your old friends align but you hide in the fray that comes from the fact it's easier to stray It's got to be lights out You've got to be found out And it's not the worst When you're gone you've got to be smoked out You've got to be caught up with and you're not the first

"Stay around and find a cause" What a phrase to get me off and I know it's nothing stationary Did it take us far too long did I make you feel too strong We burned up only momentarily You were always acting I was always hiding Stay inside wait for sunrise Stick around and flex your claws Kick about defy the law in a way that's almost mandatory Stay inside and lock the door Find the cause it's wanting more I'm losing you to practicalities We were always waiting around now we slip away when we're done Stay inside wait for sunrise You were always acting I was always...

Stay in a while we'll be ok Wait it won't come undone if we can't talk it out Stop this is too much like your dad Hey you just look real old when you bring out the past Now that don't mean much Why would you have to act out all that stuff Now we're hung up on luck Why would you have to act out all that stuff Love is all about right now Why you're not really here when my now comes around So I'm the one to blame Right that's som much like you to attach me to shame Now that don't...Hey why would you be stronger Hey I'm the one heartbroken Hey every day drags longer Hey why should I be lonelier Now that don't...

Don't fight it You look away don't act surprised It hurts a bit How did you think surrendering would feel 'cause everything is better than to stay inside our hate What's eating you Forget the prize keep rising up to find with bits and nots we won't build a home Stop this aching for another fight Extract the light Don't go straying in the blinding white Extract the light Don't fight it In time you'll find it all just trickles down You'll find me inside the doorway open-eyed awake With bits and knots we will build a home Don't go...

Limelight 03:29
We're in limelight how we wanted this to be a brighter lifelight We're in limelight all we wanted was to be a brighter starlight Don't stop kicking 'cross the floor don't wait hiding let them catch you running, laughing Cut your own way to the core burn your fingers melt your eyelashes, explode Break it open ask for more find the heartbeat in a jet stream, in a long dead ocean This is the lesson We're in limelight how we wanted this to be a brighter lifelight We're in limelight all we wanted was to be a brighter starlight

You've got it right it's all a fight and the tide isn't turning Stay on your side bring them around all your reasons aligning Kick in the door get to the core does it show when you're lying Put down the pen try it again that is all that you're given It looks like the rest when we all do our best to stay wide awake but we all fall asleep in the car You've got it right it's out of sight and the dust isn't setting Did you cross the line it's always time the context and growing up Get in the car light from afar flickering fading Motion is all stop and you'll fall the trick is the waiting It looks like the rest when we all do our best to stay wide awake but we all fall asleep at the crest in the back of the car with our daddy's hands on the wheel

Did we ever try for the far rim did we act out all that bleeding by ourselves Could you feel the fire did you mean it did you watch out for the sparks we left around Was I really there was I talking did I notice anybody leaving the ground What was the mistake was it needing did we open up that box by wanting more Did we try staring straight up into the sun Were we high staring straight up into the sun when the sun's inside Did we ever try for the far rim Where are you tonight What was the mistake was it needing Where are you tonight Bring it all around cut it open watch it grinding itself real hard into the ground Stay inside the heart stake the pain out bring it outside keep your head inside and around Did we try staring straight up into the sun Were we high staring straight up into the sun when the sun's inside Did we lie staring straight up into the sun Did we go blind staring straight up into the sun when the sun's inside

Turn up to leave Break up the falling is enough to make you cheat Stand up be real go far That calling is enough to get cold feet You're in the room react, act Wait up it's late the car Try harder like the words mean what you say Beware the drive is long Everything won't add up in the end Suck up to life and find everything you get will make you bend You're in...All we ever do is weigh our words Calculate the odds until the very end

We waited for rainfall stayed for the night call with nothing but time The windows were shut down we left for a new town our straying the crime We got what we wanted stayed in the sunlight the hideout We waited for downfall ran out the main door and nothing caught up We got what we wanted now living is all we have to open up to We stayed in the running now living is all we have to open up to We stumbled in snowfall kicked out the home trawl and stayed out of sight The spinning was made all to get through the day crawl we existed in flight We got what we wanted now living is all we have to open up to We stayed in the running now living is all we have to open up to We stayed in the sunlight our hideout What we always wanted, not to be running but to be the running

Cake and you eat it we don't want we don't want the fight to stay inside Breathe and you feel it stay around get up and you'll know where to begin Try for the far rim your daddy he said that you could be anything Don't feed the lions open up the cage and step out into the light Cake and you eat it we don't want we don't want the fight to stay inside When things are over don't look back the timing is gone they all moved on History's lying turn to salt and just melt away inside yourself Don't feed the lions open up the cage and step out into the light
12.
Let's unwind whatever you say is enough Let's be done this is getting way too rough Let's be found this disappearing act is tough Left undone stars light up and break apart We start the time end up in light everything else will fall apart We've got this life to live inside everything else will fall apart
