Sit down! Return to sender, I've fallen off the hint of suggestion Unlearning the strange devices of the world It's the end of the earth or something like it, like it The great universal coma has arrived We are holding our hands towards the sun Sit down, come on sit down Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town Return to sender, carried straight from the womb to the grave Your eyes have been paled to emptiness All things have been carved out by the unceasing haunts Of this, the great manipulator! The holding of our hands upwards and around the eclipsing sun Has become empty and automatic Sit down, sit down, come on sit down Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town You've given us user-friendly grenades! Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say? The holding of our hands upwards and around the eclipsing sun Has become empty and automatic Sit down, sit down, come on sit down The holding of our hands upwards and around the eclipsing sun Has become empty and automatic Sit down, sit down, come on sit down Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town

Like miracles Like clockwork, and like miracles You witnessed halos But you failed to see its horns The illusion of intelligence A continuous sounding bell And can you feel the interruptions in the air? And can you feel the static? I've never seen you like this Seen you Yeah, well that's what I said Drive, drive the vultures home You're killing me, just bury me Yeah, well that's what I said I said exactly what I meant You're killing me, just bury me Holy ghosts and talk show hosts How I panic as you fail Your conscience is a wolf Walls are being built Deception wears its veil And time is fleeting Her love just will not last And far from men you hang and sway With no defender Pushed around by the noise of this carefree crowd Time is fleeting Love just will not last I will not sleep While you are throwing anchors To a drowning generation Yeah, well that's what I said Drive, drive the vultures home You're killing me, just bury me Yeah, well that's what I said And I said exactly what I meant You're killing me, just bury me Yeah, yeah, well that's what I said Yeah, well that's what I said Yeah, well that's what I said Yeah, well that's what I said Hell is empty, the devils are here Hell is empty, the devils are here I, I will never sleep

What did you say? Don't speak You nailed down all your words on me It felt like a blind guide Leading me into quicksand Fight fair, fight fair Not all you hear is noise Fight fair, fight fair! Fight fair, fight fair! I've earthed this seed so many times Deeply held in this skin of bark Branches made of ash And forest born of flame Restless and full of poison Shattered by a sea of dialogue Rabid speech, like dogs with teeth With words like a beggar, that don't speak, that don't speak Crouched and bent out of shape Rip this tongue out by the root And shake, shake these walls of this pale grave A blaze, a blaze Is set upon the hills A blaze, a blaze Is set upon the hills A blaze, a blaze Is set upon the hills A blaze, a blaze Is set upon the hills Open grave from which a great Forest will rise The fire collapses The corpses I've made This should not be Oh how we curse The tongue is a flame Let there be grace With words like a beggar, with words like a beggar That don't speak, that don't speak That don't speak, that don't speak Don't speak Rip this tongue out by the root And shake these walls Shake these walls of this pale grave A blaze, a blaze Is set upon the hills A blaze, a blaze Is set upon the hills Fight fair, fight fair! Fight fair, fight fair! Fight fair, fight fair! Fight fair, fight fair! Fight fair, fight fair! Fight fair, fight fair! Fight fair!

We're not going backwards We're not going backwards We're not going backwards We're just killing onward, today And put that knife away! And put that knife away! My first thought, a dragon My first thought, a dragon My first thought, a dragon Two contending marches And put that knife away! And put that knife away! She'll sting you to death Like a swarm of hornets From the hive Endlessly I drift Into this distraction Sign my name to shame Press hard, there are three copies You'll put me in the grave You'll put me in the grave We're not going backwards We're not going backwards We're not going backwards We're just killing onward, today Put that knife away! And put that knife away! Making progress like that of a dead man Constant last words, the last word The last words

We'll be legends We are smashed men, still moving We've tried everything in the book No stranger to failure, death with a steady heartbeat Scratching into any surface it wants Joy and beauty rejected so many times A world of hurt, a heart of false hope And while we thought that we were learning how to live We have been learning how to die I should have known, we will be legends Our hopes and dreams, our worst nightmares Our worst nightmares have now come true Tonight when this deep sleep falls on men Driven by an instinct more powerful than life itself From horror to hope, from hope and devastation And while we thought that we were learning how to live We have been learning how to die I should have known, we will be legends Overfed and unconcerned It came with teeth and claw Oh, hated form of emotion You have become so obvious My friend, the fatal habit of being myself Okay, there's hope, step down with all your friends Okay, there's hope, step down with all your friends Okay, there's hope, step down with all your friends Okay, there's hope, step down with all your friends Okay, there's hope, step down with all your

Yeah! There will be no more color Broken I stand here A new creation On the stage of history Where map and compass Mean nothing at all The arrows are in me My spirit drinks poison I joined the avalanche Just to feel alive I remember sitting in My mother's room And I watched them cry We're not supposed to be here Tonight I will sleep on the floor Oh, such weight All colors rushing back Restoring frail life We're broken here We're ruined here There are strangers In my house Tripping over Themselves to White wash this Disaster I am young but I'm not blind All colors rushing back Restoring frail life We're broken here We're ruined here All colors rushing back Restoring frail life We're broken here We're ruined here The Voice of Heaven Speaks with time A new understanding Dedication This will never fade I guess the body Means nothing, means nothing at all Broken and unbroken Broken and unbroken Broken and unbroken Broken and unbroken All colors rushing back Restoring frail life We're broken here We're ruined here All colors rushing back Restoring frail life We're broken here We're ruined here All colors rushing back Restoring frail life And we're broken here And we're ruined here All colors rushing back Restoring frail life And we're broken here And we're ruined here We're broken here We're ruined here
