The camera pans across the audience
Pausing to frame an effortless face
Whose smile takes on an effortful shape
The viewfinder moves on
It scans the crowd and it finds no one
The camera pans across the audience
It's sight sees the one you are, you become
Victory in their eyes
They've always won so the question becomes
Why've you colored yourself so surprised?
The camera sobs, oh exhaustion
Pausing to still it's hands as they shake
After one thing for 10,000 days
Ready your tired eyes to never be done
A job is a job and this one is one
Camera stands
Downcast and odd
It's sight sees the one you are, you become
Their eyes, hopeful guns
Surprise, you're not one of them
That's right, turn and run
Gaze upon what they have done

Sleepy Pete

Something that I saw before
Something I don't gotta remember anymore
Somehow I know I will once more
Somewhere where I have to break down the door because
Sleepy Pete, he's asleep, he's asleep
He's driving the bus but he can't see cause he's asleep, duh
Don't dare tell anyone, no don't tell anyone
Cross the border as Pete falls asleep
That's why we call him up
A whisper in a stall
Coming to a stop, no explanation at all
Nary a wall too tall
I wonder why we choose to walk this way at all because
Sleepy Pete, he's a creep, he's a creep
He's driving the bus to the wide, white sea
Don't dare tell anyone, no don't tell anyone
Cross the border as Pete falls asleep
That's why we call him up
Sleepy Pete, he's asleep, he's asleep
He's driving the bus but he can't see cause he's asleep, duh
Don't dare tell anyone, no don't tell anyone
Cross the border as Pete falls asleep
That's why we call him up

My Lord, It Was Brutal

Paydirt! There's a formula
All the young men give us their blood
And your treason in the garden of sighing angels
In treason I saw all that was wrong
Paydirt! There's a formula
All the old girls fail to mention what they saw
All that was wrong
And the season, it rides on and on
Scorching oblivion
Sunspots burn on
Will to walk gone

On Abundance

Hey baby, why don't you let me let you live for free?
Just put that weight on down and come with me
Hey baby, light wraps itself right all around the globe
The sun's up, no matter what, so I've been told
Is it shrouded? The shape of their lie?
From that look you've seen something you'd hide
Or is it out? Just plainly there standing?
Palms turned up, so calmly demanding
Hey, the sky is breaking
Pieces of white and blue litter the street
People walk around as if they don't know what it means
Hey, why are you shaking?
Sure your shoes will fail when you get far
But your skin will thicken
Your wounds soon scars
Is it shrouded? The shape of their lie?
From that look you've seen something you'd hide
Or is it out? Just plainly there standing?
Palms turned up, so calmly demanding
Every time I see my brother
He's getting skinnier, I'm sure
Raising his hand up
The waiter obliges, filling up his cup

Step away, step away
If anyone knew where I was going
Who would that be?
Probably me
Back away, back away
I'm just flailing my arms
Don't mind me
Do I look like somebody who's trying to hurt you?
I don't know how to do what you do
I don't know how to walk away with you
Do I look like somebody who knows what they mean?
Is there a way? Is there a way?
To walk up and pick out the right door?
Revisit again, how many mistakes I've been
A tidal wave, a tidal wave
Washed us out and brought me back in
It happened again, it happened again
And I feel so much in a certain way
There's some sin of mine I can't repay
And when I flinch from your touch on my skin
I poison the air, I breath it right in
I feel so much in a certain way
From dusk till dawn and through my tired days
And when I flinch from your touch on my skin
I poison the air, I breath it right in
I feel so much in a certain way
There's some sin of mine I can't repay
So step away, step away
If anyone knew what I was doing
They wouldn't stay
Now name someone I can blame
So back away, back away
I'm just flailing my arms
Don't mind me
Do I look like somebody?
