does it matter there's another train off the track a bridge to nothing perhaps the shrieking birds the next attack pennies on your eyes buy low, sell high is that what got us here and should I even care bloody sky fall is coming dead leaves and tumbleweeds wake up, your time is running out fall is coming dead leaves and tumbleweeds
2.
could I compel you to lie on the wreckage of our lives come be my partner in crime we'll steal our moments together I've heard the past could always change what's the use, who's to say this worn out script, this tired play doesn't want to know about tomorrow

water clock 04:18
I'm only passing through on the way to nowhere this ghost town take a walk 'neath this desert sky where the wind blows cold on your alibis I'm floating in the water clock I'm waiting for time to stop the wheeling birds the endless sun the future dream you're running from your blasted garden grist for the mill of your memories bleeding still I'm floating in the water clock I'm waiting for time to stop

mansion 04:18
masquerade not the face you feel inside I know it's hard sometimes the rain falling from the ceiling coming down in waves drowning in the question nothing lost nothing gained and in the hallways where your heroes crash and burn it's a lonely walk it's your lonely curse up in the attic where your ragged people hide dressed in colors that rarely see the light in the mansion of your hope and your despair it gets so hard to see a world where someone cares and in the hallways where your heroes crash and burn it's a lonely walk it's your lonely curse
5.
wash over me 04:42
standing alone on the shoreline black stone grey sky pale light shining the moon looks down a messenger our new religion the waters rise our cities fill with sand our tomorrows fill our hands with broken things our king of kings lies buried in the dirt his cold command no lullaby, no sweet goodbye the moon looks down and laughs wash over me
6.
target 03:22
open season across this marble hall the old gods crumble cursing as they fall when I grow up I want to be someone else but the wheel grinds round and round and round fire one target locked fire two target down storm is coming the lights are going out an easy reason an easy mark, an easy doubt in the blue light of hairspray disinformation Mr and Mrs America are making decisions fire one target locked fire two target down
7.
it's always goodbye I don't even ask all those things I wanted to hold on to what difference does it make it's always the same strange fruit supply and demand we'll make the world safe for another madman it's always the same I can only laugh when the skies splash red and the systems crash so it's lights out and it's time to go hit the switch when you leave the room close the door say goodbye to your blue sky...
8.
it's over before it even starts all your pretty things falling to the dark the dogs of war raise their voices to the sky they howl they scream the sound is crashing through our lives crashing through our doors marching in time crashing through the walls we hide behind it's over so raise your glasses high wrap your feels in satin sheets surrender with a sigh don't forget to wave goodbye
