Where are you? I'm lost upon this boulevard And I'm afraid this plastic mask Made room enough for all of us Now Scissorlips has come to grips While chewing paper fingertips That boulevards made boulevards Of boulevards in endless strips, and Sing your lullaby Sing, sing, sing I want to hear it from your lips What's it worth shining for? Never mind your thirst Never mind the curses you utter vacantly And I can hear them scream from below I still hear them screaming below All we are is all we are Transcendental animals Where are you? I'm high above this boulevard Left behind this passive mask To prove to us it's not enough Now Scissorlips throws scissor fits 'Til bleeding's what the kissing gets To fork the tongues of old and young Forever speaking opposites, and Sing your lullaby Sing, sing, sing I want to hear it from your lips What's it worth shining for? Never mind your thirst Never mind the curses you utter vacantly And I can hear them scream from below I still hear them screaming below All we are is all we are Transcendental animals All we are is all we are Transcendental animals Trying to dig up the love You call this love? For the love of loss, we find For the love of joy, we cry For the love of growth, we sever For the love of now, we never, never For the love of peace, we kill For the love For the love of wealth, we steal For the love of difference, confine For the love of unity, divide For the love of love, we hate Who wouldn't want to disappear? But I'm still here, I am still here Having come out the other side Wearing horrors that climb from our soul And I am still here, I am still here Falling facedown into the light Wholly naked, I cling to these roots And I am still here, I am still here Still here

And may every seed you sow Stretch out your mortal skin And so your dreams can grow to know The web that you weave within The healing process has begun Carving lessons on our arms I hope you'll always look with love On the early days Reaching, reach through the healing Finding out, you Found your way home Got just what you wanted, didn't you? Stopped the whole fucking world, didn't you? Are you happy now? I am happy now Are you happy now? Tracing pathways in the sand Clutched tight to trembling whims For the moments whole enough To know the feeling when Curiosity still calls If only I could have grasped The notion long enough to Truly understand Reaching, reach through the healing Finding out, you Found your way home Got just what you wanted, didn't you? Stopped the whole fucking world, didn't you? Are you happy now? I am happy now Are you happy now?

Hey you, I've seen you here before In your eyes, prismatic sight on and on as I defy Denials, back from the broken glass Sapphire visions and favored derisions with spiders on your mind, shaking fists full of string as I Tie me up in knots while contradictory impulse lusts The dreaming loom is twisted and confused The stories on the spools will weave us back into one And here, we find ourselves again Tightrope decisions and blood-colored medicine A million miles from eye to eye It feels much as it did before Biting the tails in self-made betrayals Forever repeating this deceit, so who cares if I Tie me up in knots while contradictory impulse lusts The dreaming loom is twisted and confused The stories on the spools will weave us back into one While spinning, I spun you a web While spinning, I spun you Stammering words in a daze, seemingly Starry-eyed followers mumbling praise And all of the world is a stage, fleetingly These marionettes dance straight to their graves With every desire on a string The future hangs perilously It's the start of the tie that will bind And the last fraying strand Spinning on the dreaming loom A web of lies and tangled truths With every knot that comes undone We weave ourselves back into one

I'm sure that I'm fine but I heard there's a bath in a river of glass, so I'll take it I've always known that the smiles that were shown were plastic and hollow lines And I'll, I'll be damned Your metaphor dollar-fed God got into my head Hey now, plastics gather 'round now You're waitin' with your hands out For the blood flies to come and carry you home Doubt is a crime and I caught me at last Running circles in rounded-off places Scanning for hope but these windows of gold Play tricks on my eyes And I'll, I'll be damned Your metaphor dollar-fed God got into my head Hey now, plastics gather 'round now You're waitin' with your hands out For the blood flies to come and carry you home Why don't we pull apart and look inside The curtains of origins that imitate life And where you are is where I'll be Floating arms of azure seas Who will you inspire? As I watch this world below And the world I watch grows smaller and smaller Fear and love all collide and all at once The piper plays green, tearing the sleeves Pulled up from the sea and thrown through the ceiling Stepping stones so carefully untouched You'll only leave this world alone Strange that you think you can fly Strapped to a stone in a blinked needle's eye I'll, I'll be damned Your all-time-low just lowered again Hey now, plastics gather round now You're waitin' with your hands out Waitin' for the war flies Waitin' for the blood flies to come and carry you

The high road is always a balance beam Chipping away our ankles And I think it's high time we embraced the visual On my way home, I saw a keyhole in the sky And I tossed around my reasons for the cost Divide and dissolve the seams That weave deep within my head We're losing light And in this despair, I'm finally aware That I am not one to learn so fast Straining across this great expanse Where the weight of the world rests And the air is thick with crushing emptiness If only I could lift these feet up from the ground I'd circle 'round the world I know, I know Divide and dissolve the seams That weave deep within my head We're losing light And in this despair, I am aware I am not one to learn so fast We, like marionettes off our strings Fling limbs at our passions And hope to connect with impossible dreams It's holding on when nothing feels right It's the final, identical, severed umbilical breath From a tightening chest as we're holding on Divide and dissolve the seams That weave within my head We're losing light And in this despair, I'm finally aware

I'm leaving to walk the road inside my head With cord in hand and powder breath I stand And wave goodbye Goodbye, goodbye Goodbye And the Systematomatic thinks, while buying blood on Broadway Street Where the old messiahs go There, pulsing through the atmosphere Are answers to the questions that you should know Don't let it go Or it's all downhill from here It's all downhill from here Examples of the afterlife Responding visions half the time, and the other vertigo Spun off the Earth a thousand times And caught the wind that purifies the soul! You should know It's all downhill from here Ooh, lost out here, adrift in lights, it's wondrous Weightless in clouds of colors the world will never see And I am a figment of reality Wrapped in the shroud of endless night, I scream aloud But no one hears, so I tell my stories to satellites And I am lost inside a memory The pattern picks the pockets of the palindrome Back to front, the loss remains the same And it beckons to the east to give the west its eyes While the oscillating rhythm marks its bones To the young, it gives a vision of the dead and gone While the old receive a passion to survive And the pattern picks the pockets of the palindrome Before the oscillating rhythm takes to flight And I am lost inside a memory Lost, lost

Rubber like your lover's neck You tripped into the garden You tripped into the garden of the sun And on you tried unbuttoned eyes Imprelious delusion Tripping past your guard into the sun These dreamers, so eager Throw their hands in the fight And I spy walrus tooth in the way Oh, outside of the shoegaze revolution I'm seeing bright lights, silhouettes of knife fights And I see it all, I see it all I'm seeing bright lights in between the knife fights And I see it all, I see it all Oh, I see it all through the wolves in the walls Who might you be? Who should you be? Killing with featherguns When they don't understand you're fighting for ground control Stealing glances colorblind, encouraging confusion Crossing all the boundaries undrawn And I spy walrus tooth in the way Oh, outside of the shoegaze revolution I'm hearing white lies coursing through the disguises I hear it all, I hear it all I'm hearing lost cries chorusing the night sky And I hear it all, I hear it all Oh, I hear it all through the wolves in the walls Who might you be? Who should you be? Killing with featherguns When they don't understand you're fighting for ground control Hands bound behind withered backs Blindfolds laid on hollow eyes Too hopeless to hear Ready, aim, fire Oh, change ammunition Don't give a war of attrition Tacit permission to minimize genocide I'm seeing bright lights, silhouettes of knife fights And I see it all, I see it all I'm seeing bright lights in between the knife fights And I see it all, I see it all Oh, I see it all through the wolves in the walls Who might you be? Who should you be? Killing with featherguns When they don't understand what you're fighting for Oh, I see it all through the wolves in the walls Who might you be? Who should you be? Killing with featherguns When they don't understand you're fighting for ground control

We are not machines Ooh, we are not machines, programmed, encoded We are so much more, we are so much more And oh, the lights Burning like fireflies caught in a web Electricity hums in our heads We're overwhelmingly fearless When diamond eyes light up the sky I promise you that we can change the world When diamond eyes light up the sky I promise you that we can change (Change) We are not your routines We are not your routines, despite what you've told us We are all one, we are all one And oh, the lights Burning like fireflies caught in a web Electricity hums in our heads We're overwhelmingly fearless When diamond eyes light up the sky I promise you that we can change the world When diamond eyes light up the sky I promise you that we will change (Change) When light's like freeway's burning mirrors And melting skylines haunt your door You should swing to connect, swing to connect the cord You should swing to connect, swing to connect the cord Colour, I see the rhythm in waves and onward still Colour, I see the rhythm in waves, the white and red The red and white, forever we'll know In and of itself, nothing is whole Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Here at the end of it all, I still see Diamond eyes light up the sky And I promise you that we can change the world When diamond eyes light up the sky I promise you that we will change

Hello, I'm the whisper-clap man Tugging on my sleeves, doin' all that I can do Can you weather the moment Whether the fortune comes before the end? You shouldn't be satisfied as well Now we're counting all the hours on the second hand for days Mending ties with broken time in many different ways If all of us spin 'round till every one of us is down Impressing pressure in dialect forms Ride the spiral seas beyond the storm Learn and decide, fall till you fly Take a breath and dive Let's go, have you stepped to the edge? Stared into the sea from the foot of your bed? You Have you woke in a dream to sleep through the meaning and mean everything you said? You will be satisfied as well Now we're counting all the hours on the second hand for days Mending ties with broken time in many different ways All of us spin 'round till every one of us is down Impressing pressure in dialect forms Ride the spiral seas beyond the storm Learn and decide, fall till you fly Take a breath and dive Just below the waterline, I see Just below the waterline, I lay Below the surface, I believe There is a place of love and wonder Where all we are and dare to be is fearlessly discovered And wrapped within the motion of the unrelenting struggle And oh, this sinking feeling, seeing everything in double Oh, what beautiful monsters Oh, what beautiful monsters Oh, what beautiful monsters Oh, what beautiful— You're all beautiful monsters You're all beautiful monsters You're all beautiful monsters You're all beautiful monsters You're all—
