Bellows 03:35
In the bellows of an early lion I'd fallen in comatose After the wheels spun around taking off, landing back where I started... There looking out through teeth while the beast is smiling wide There looking out through teeth while the beast is smiling wide How far will you wander on Not knowing your fear from daring Should I go on, should I turn around unavowed, to look back where I started... There looking out through teeth while the beast is smiling wide There looking out through teeth while the beast is smiling wide What's one bruise once in while, what's one bruise What's one bruise once in while, what's one bruise What's one bruise once in while, what's one bruise What's one bruise once in while, what's one bruise What's one bruise once in while through the turn style getting where I need to go What's one bruise once in while through the turn style getting where I need to go What's one bruise once in while through the turn style getting where I need to go In the bellows of an early lion I've fallen in comatose After the wheels spun around taking off, landing back where I started... Here looking out through teeth while the beast is smiling wide Here looking out through teeth while the beast is smiling wide

Arcanum XII 04:39
You've settled alone No sound even satellite Surrounded by weathered bones Your feet and arms are sown tight You sit in your stone desert and cleared all the crows in your head Telephone the men who know What's known to them May never roam outside these boundaries Your image inverted To rattle your blood alive You let loose your spinal nerve Your breathing slows to serve night You drive hairpin curves creeping Nothing deserving a cage Penny worthy to be told Hard earned to be They never learn outside these boundaries I'm outside, I'm outside, I'm outside You decide, you decide, you decide I'm outside, I'm outside, I'm outside You decide, you decide, you decide...

In My Mind 04:23
I feel something old In your touching hand I see something wild Been there since you were a child I bow and close my eyes In hopes this will suffice In moving something old Out to where it can rise In my mind, everything is ok Outside, it's become hard to say Open up And when you meet the sound In quiet and in loud Your body now unwound Leaves traces on the ground I bow and kneel to see How they turn out to be You're changing into gold What's left while they're asleep In my mind, everything is ok Outside, it's become hard to say Open up

Them 03:46
I'm entering the data into the machine So it finds something inside me that I have never seen Tracing out my own body into what it speaks And it's telling me to stay but all I wanna do is leave. I don't want to rely on them but I only know them I don't want to rely on them but I only know them They're unpredictable, unmanageable and too clever It's undeniable how down the line the goal is never the same I've grown believing others wouldn't understand When I go into myself if they try to lend a hand Christening old shipwreck when all they know is land While many years have gone since I've stepped into the sand I don't want to rely on them but I only know them I don't want to rely on them but I only know them I don't want to be a burden but I only know them They're unpredictable, unmanageable and too clever It's undeniable how down the line the goal is never the same
