lyrics

A new dawn, new day will display who's gone and who stayed
(Cue pain)
A new star to chase, farscape aim
Now move on through the grey space

A new dawn, new day for the circuitry
Open them eyes and draw the curtain back with uncertainty
A crafted urgency for arbitrary burdens served to weigh us down where we can hardly carry purpose
I'm fairly nervous when I peek at the piece
Weak in the femurs
Trying to speak to the beast and see through the secrets
With a leashed grip tugging and tightening
Seek to summon something from inside the rubble to guide me
But when the thunder and lightening strike, a twice seems likely
Hiding inside vices and pipe dreams nightly
Widescreen eyes gleaming
The high-beams blind me
Why do I keep taking these sights-seen lightly?
Too busy trying to write these wrongs and rights
A dude dizzy in the icy palms of life
I grew shifty thinking it might be all alright
Choose and move swiftly in a fight with the laws of flight
A lot of bite for the bark they keep chopping down
Everything's priced in this skyland if trying not to drown
But drop the crown, maybe we can simply give it all
Live with the flaws
Signal-calling through this risky business

(Bodi)
Give me a minute just so I can find my breath
While I live it lonely, don't mind my steps
In an instant, I could resign my quest and rest forever
But it's a long road to walk and it stops at a dead end
Caught a glimpse of god when I made death my best friend
When I learned to walk is when I grew to embrace fear
Smile through the scars and I don't mind to taste tears
We're always further on than we think
Floating on the hope down the river till we sink
Capsized
Baptized by the holy water
Hold me father
Then we wonder why so many drown inside the drink
Wink
It's all jokes until we choke on our own sob story
Lost glory on a climb to the thrown
Grind till the bones turn to fossils for a V-6
Singing out the creed of the apostles for a cheap fix
Make believe or believe we make a work of art with the help of others though it's solo at the start
But that's how we leave it when it's time to push dandelions
Start as Pangea
Let our faults make us islands

Stuff your sorrows and your dreams in a pack
Sling that thing up on your back and carry it home
Stuff your sorrows and your dreams in a pack
Sling that thing up on your back and carry it away
