Getting gagged and blindfolded, it’s part of the plan Getting kicked down and dragged, i’m a yes man Throw the torches, throw me down the stairs, put out the fire with my underwear Let the pigs in to bite at my skin, make my world spin Some cult this is I've seen better in the movies Why can’t it be like the movies? Some cult this is This kool aid tastes like shit That’s not how you do it Throw the torches, throw me down the stairs, throw me in a cage match with a grizzly bear Just make up your minds, I’m running short on time Make my world spin Some cult this is I’ve seen better in the movies Why can’t it be like the movies? Some cult this is Your robes are from old navy How could you be so lazy? Send me away Call me crazy Lock me up tight Every night

A Grand Show 04:02
I’m on a wire With a balancing act I’ll jump through fire Straight into the part where sharks attack I’m lacking in poise, but It’s in the contract I’m left with no choice, but It’s all just a part of the show … I’m masked in makeup Covered in colorful clothes Maybe I’ll wake up Maybe I won’t I’m spinning in circles Conforming, performing For millions of people That hear only silence These lions look hungry But they’re so tame If they took one bite of me Who’s really to blame? As long as the crowd cheers With enough peanuts to throw I’ll forever remain here And I hear them say “what a grand show” I’m spinning in circles Conforming, performing For millions of people That hear only silence I’m spinning in circles
3.
Numbing 02:52
The day I found out that the silence was numbing I couldn’t get enough, I’d have gone deaf if it weren’t for you The beautiful song you sung to keep me interested Note after note, I just couldn’t stop listening If I’d go blind, I think I’d just sit still If I lost it all, I guess it’d be just the same Keep singing please To me
4.
End of Time 02:39
Can you hear me through the end of time? For years we’ve held, waiting, confined We’ve got to give it up The world’s gone, and we’ve waited long enough Who knows where we are now? Are we the remnants of our broken house?
5.
Melting 03:20
I won’t deny the hit that’s on my head At this point it’s a full blown parody instead I can laugh, i can cry, i won’t lie But i won’t show what’s on the inside I’m flattered by the drought of sympathy I hate when eyes all turn to look at me I can run, i can hide, i won’t lie But i won’t escape what’s on the inside What is going on? And why is it taking so long It feels like i’m melting down Into a soup of guts I’m trying my best not to drown I’m spitting it back up What is going on? And why is it taking so long I’m crushed by the weight of all my memories I couldn’t stop from making enemies I can laugh, I can cry I can laugh, I can cry I can laugh It feels like i’m melting down Into a soup of guts I’m trying my best not to drown I’m spitting it back up
6.
Space Quest 03:30
It’s a self inflicted situation I’ve got no one now to turn to I’m slowly floating away from it all Safe inside my space suit I see my crew all spinning out Thrown hard from the explosion Maybe they’ll get lucky And be flung into the ocean I should’ve listened but i couldn’t wait They told me that we had to fix it first We were so close to arriving home But i made the whole thing burst “How could you do this to us?” They screamed, fearing for life “I’m sorry, i panicked and jumped the gun…” “Yeah, you think? well now we’re all gonna die! Because you couldn’t just sit tight. We were only days away from touching down I hope you understand where we’re at now.” I see you drifting, i don’t know if you’re alive I’m drifting too, but i don’t know if i’ll survive… I made the call that wasn’t mine to make I put everybody else at stake I can’t decide for any other lives My choice is never really mine

Mask of Face 02:07
I wear the mask that’s become my face It’s been that way since the fall from grace It’s brash and bold And I’m always told That it looks just like my face I skip days and I sleep for months It’s been that way since I slept in once It’s grim and cold And it takes its toll When I choose to sleep for months I taste the fear and I lose my will When I sit beneath the window sill Pouring in On my pale skin Lavender light Pouring in On my pale skin Lavender light
8.
Lavender Sky 02:50
Lavender sky peaking through my blinds But it’s winter time I’ve come to expect only white and gray But it’s unusually beautiful today Maybe it could be a sign That I’ve got so much more to see in this life Or maybe, just maybe It’s not Whenever I try to adjust my eyes It gets grayer, and darker every time The colors bloom and then fade away More, every day Maybe it could be a sign That I’ve got so much more to see in this life Or maybe, just maybe I’ve been wrong All along Maybe there’s no more to see Behind the clouds and the trees That conceal all the lies Tempting me with that lavender sky Or maybe... it’s hard to believe That the beauty I see isn’t playing a trick on me I’ve given up hope, given up time Maybe, just maybe... I’ll be alright...
9.
Awe 05:51
Pieces of me Dropping like dead leaves Cracking under the sun Taken by the breeze I’ll say that the view from the sky Is quite nice Unburdened, floating on by Drifting through time What more could i ask for? What more could i ask for? The beauty is unrivaled here…
