The New Utah
Lets
get on with this tonight, do what the pages tell us -until we burn them
on sight (until we burn them on the sight)-lets get on with this
tonight, do what the pages tell us - and dance on fire through the
night (dance on fire through the night)
This is real enough to outline in chalk - weathered broken nails scrape for a couple thousand miles down the sky board
I
know that everything, everything falls apart in the end - but it's
alright man - just run into, run into the open arms of your friends -
they'll be there for you - turn away, turn away from the arson in your
head - I know it burns man - but everything falls apart
But
the calender says "let's celebrate" and the time is always right - so
let's go, let's go, let's get on with this tonight - I know this is a
fairytale in my head - but it helps me to sleep soundly - at the end of
the highway - you'll be waiting for me
I know that everything, everything falls apart in the end - but
it's alright man - just run into, run into the open arms of your
friends - they'll be there for you - turn away, turn away from the
arson in your head - I know it burns man - but everything falls apart
This scene needs a change, and we're gonna give it to you. This scene needs a change. I need a change.
Accelerating like anxiety ascending harmonically.
Accelerating like anxiety ascending harmonically.
I know that everything, everything falls apart in the end - but
it's alright man - just run into, run into the open arms of your
friends - they'll be there for you - turn away, turn away from the
arson in your head - I know it burns man - but everything falls apart
Culture Wars
In your time away from
the repression I think geography has died and in its grave a lesson for
us. You want so bad to see, but we wanted so bad to believe. We want to
believe. We want to believe. The rise and fall of culture waters it
down a little bit.
Our teachers are all fired, our artists are
all drowned. The qualities of statues are talking the heroes down. The
city in slow motion quickly crumbles to the ground, and in the ruins
waiting, the answer will be found.
We see patterns ...
The city without struggle is a cultureless place.
....where no patterns exist.
The rise and fall of value is written on your face.
We see patterns ...
We'll value the constant when variables have no place
...where no patterns exist
There are patterns in the street, there are patterns out in space

Pin The Sea To The Wall
I
won't waste your time, but this gives me the strength to divide. It's
kind of hard to describe - it's kind of hard to describe.
I won't waste your time but this gives me the strength to divide
I'm
like a man that's blind but in the midst of a thousand voices, there's
colors on my mind. It's kind of hard to describe, it's kind of hard to
describe.
I won't waste your time but this gives me the strength to divide
One last time, with colors on my mind. I won't waste your time.
I won't waste your time, but this gives me the strength to divide.
The White City Few and far are my beliefs
Three short, three long, three short again. The ghost escaped but we saw his face.
It hangs above his head until he throws it to the ground (altering the whole thing) the city's knees are bent down.
And
he'll still recall what he still has to say. Few and far are my
beliefs. We can tear open the archives today. Few and far are my
beliefs. Few and far are my beliefs. Few and far are my beliefs.
The ghost escaped but we saw his face.
Party like it's 1893, A celebration like it's 1893, a certain feel of urgency.
It hangs above his head until he throws it to the ground (altering the whole thing) the city's knees are bent down..
Brother, We'll Save You Now Well
load your gun and gag the sky, as heaven pours down from your family's
eyes. As hard as I failed was as hard as I tried. Didn't they tell you?
Never leave your brother behind.
If it was a war you were looking
for, you should have spoken up. I needed help with the one inside my
soul and all the rest of us did here too. I can remember the poem of
one great man saying "your absence weighs more than someone else's
presence" and that will probably hold true through impassable days and
blood soaked rocks.
We're breaking down these walls to prove our
love and shed the light. Now it's time to save another life (tonight) a
dream to persevere through the cold, cold years. We'll save you now.
Sleepwalking through deserts like a ghost in a churchyard,
My friend,
You're never alone
We're always awake
Our hearts filled with hope
Your friends are your faith (friends are your faith)
(As hard as I failed was as hard as I tried) (Your friends are your faith)
In True Pisces Fashion It's
just the season when the air drops far below bitter. I've scanned for
miles and miles and still it rains a haze of sliced light.
Tough Midwestern skin shields our weathered hearts for the time being. And false hope fuels us like a machine.
Into a rhythmic dream, I've known. I've known.
Once
we're full of life and literature, we'll find that we connect and I
think that we'll long for so much more than we ever gave. Imaginative,
intuitive, and so compassionately alone.
I've scanned for miles
and miles. I've scanned for miles and miles and even though the air is
frozen, I know you're right in front of me.
In true Pisces fashion, I've faded from this.
A Silver Meridian Faith
is a shield that we'll hold together every step of the way. Shining a
radiant path through the fog (by your side) If you go down, I'm going
with you. What else would you expect me to do?
I'll be there by your side ready to pull you up..
As grey as your eyes, a constant north to the starboard side. I know we'll reach it. Of this, I'm sure
A restless needle held by time, maps laid face to face. Direction, compass, lights in the sky. Altruism glowing bright.
Set sail it's right in front of us. You know I'll be by your side.
As grey as your eyes, a constant north on the starboard side. I know we'll reach it. Of this I'm sure.
