1. BIRTH OF THE ECONOMIC HIT MAN

Uprising within us,
A sense of total disillusion,
About what we're made of,
And where we want to be.
It's not so important to collect
As many things as we can, before our time is up

Our life is more than a side effect,
We must learn to be lost graciously.

We become everything we criticize
Light gives way shadows peel open our eyes,
Blinding us within.
Nothing is sacred, nothing is sacred,
(Oh) Nothing is sacred.

Maybe we have to
Forget everything we learned,
About where we came from,
To find out where we need to go
It's not so important to collect as many coins,
From the fountain before our time is up.

Our life is more than a side effect,
We must learn to be lost graciously

We become everything we criticize
Light gives way shadows peel open our eyes,
Blinding us within.
Nothing is sacred, Nothing is sacred,
(Oh) Nothing is sacred, (Oh) Nothing is sacred.

Nothing is sacred, not that it ever was,
Nothing is sacred, not that it ever was,
Nothing is sacred, not that it ever was,
Nothing is sacred, not that it ever was.

Our life is more than a side effect,
We must learn to be lost, lost.


2. SHARP PRACTICE

Tripping over things unsaid in a constant motion
I cannot recognize the truth ‘cause it’s unfamiliar
If you didn’t have so much left to prove, would there be resistance?

Kicking up this cloud of dust till it covers us
I had been there and done it a thousand times but never with my eyes open

You get what you paid for
We can’t sell our Goddamn souls anymore, anymore
Don’t let them give you the runaround again, again
It’s up to you to make sense of it. Yeah. Talk

No one hesitates to taste when they come and throw the feet down
If you wanna make haste, keep your feet on the ground
I see you coming from a million miles away like a stampede of footsteps

Kicking up this cloud of dust till it covers us
You can’t control what's happen to your heart
till you give it away - till you give it away

You get what you paid for
We can’t sell our Goddamn souls anymore, anymore
Don’t let them give you the runaround again, again
It’s up to you to make sense of it

So many words flooded in my vacant lie
So little space, too little sleep, too little time

Tripping over things unsaid in a constant motion
I cannot recognize the truth ‘cause I’ve never known it
I’ve never known it - I’ve never known it - known

You get what you paid for
We can’t sell our Goddamn souls anymore, anymore
Don’t let them give you the runaround again, again
It’s up to you to make sense of it

I see you coming from a million miles away
I see you coming from a million miles away


3. SUITCASE

(feat. Rachel Minton of Zolof The Rock And Roll Destroyer)

I'm buried in your glow
Will you take me with you when you go?
I've been following your eyes
Going back and around and then subside

When you realize, when you realize my name
And suddenly your mood begins to change
Then you realize, then you realize I'm gone
I never said I want you to stay, to stay

I hear it in your cries, you dismantle my disguise

When you realize, when you realize my name
And suddenly your language starts to change
Then you realize, then you realize I'm gone
I never said I want you to stay, to stay
To stay, to stay

I'm buried in your glow
Will you take me with you when you go?
I've been following your eyes
Dismantle my disguise

When you realize, when you realize my name
And suddenly your mood begins to change
Then you realize, then you realize I'm gone
I never said I'd wait here for long


4. THE LOTTERY
(feat. Geoff Rickly of Thursday)

It happened all in the passing of light
We won’t see it coming
I know that we’ll all lose in time
But my mind won’t stop running

Blame it on the air that you breathe
Well I can’t see how anything’s nursed on disease
Nothing is clean in this place
Our only hope is cutting off the nose to spite the face

Who’ll take the lottery?
Don’t look away
We’re the unlucky ones
I won’t let it tear us apart!
Who’ll take the lottery?
Don’t look away
We’re the unlucky ones
I won’t let it take you

This intrusion’s a functioning curse
Break the thumb and the whole hand will hurt
It’s not like moving backwards in time
It happened all in the passing of light

Blame it on the air that you breathe
Well I can’t see how anything’s nursed on disease
Nothing is clean in this place
Our only hope is cutting off the nose to spite the face

Who’ll take the lottery?
We’re the unlucky ones
I won’t let it tear us apart

Who’ll take the lottery?
Don’t look away
We’re the unlucky ones
I won’t let it take you
Who’ll take the lottery?
Don’t look away
We’re the unlucky ones
I won’t let it take you


5. MY ONLY FRIEND

Let fall upon his back
The consequence of giving
Up all that he has had
To anyone who listens
In hopes that you'll let him in
Pull back the curtains
And tied up the end
Cover the harmless in all the sheep's skin
I know who you are

He wont see your hand
Reaching out for him
Never understand
Have you been waiting so long?
I know, no one, ever, gets to control your love
So why fallow anyone?

Every word he says is a lie
No one ever knows the difference
Now he needs to prove it to himself
To anyone,
To anyone who listens

In hopes that you will relieve
Pull out your wallet and show sympathy
Tell him he's everything you wish you'd be
You know who you are
(You know who you are)

He won't see your hand
Reaching out for him
Never understand
Have you been waiting so long?
I know, no one, ever, gets to control your love
So why fallow anyone?
Why fallow anyone?

He won't see your hand
Reaching out for him
Never understand
Have you been waiting so long?
I know, no one, ever, gets to control your love
He won't understand
Have you been waiting for him?
Why fallow anyone?


6. PHANTASMAGORIA

When I found out about the Lord I wanted more
but I never could believe
That there was something that had so much love for us
That could sit and let us bleed to death

Then she showed me all her love
And I couldn't trust
My guard was already up.
Is the foundation of beliefs that have shaped my youth?
I found out that they weren't true
At all

God, money, and women will turn you mad
Always reaching for something that you can't have
God, money, and women will bring you down
Always searching for something that's not been found

Doesn't have to be something I can see
I don't know what to believe
Doesn't have to be something I can feel
I don't know what is real

You got no say in our lives
You got no say no
You got no say in our lives
You got no say no

God, money, and women will turn you mad
Always reaching out for something that you can't have
God, money, and women will break your heart
Crush your soul, and leave you empty, and torn apart


7. THINK OF ME WHEN THEY SOUND

How long will it take,
How long will you wait for me,
I don't want to bring you down,
Any more than I have,
I just want to think you've left,
And it means everything,
How long will you wait (we won't make it out)
I can't stand to feel this brave awake (we won't make it out)

Church bells,
Church bells,

How long will you wait (we won't make it out)
How long will you wait for me (we won't make it out)
How much can you take (we won't make it out)
How long will you wait for me, dear.


8. BROTHER SONG

Every body wants to see the worst in you,
Shadowed by the actions of the path you can't undo,
Who'll get, who'll get left behind,
Who'll get, who'll get left behind,

Oh there must be a way to understand the things you do,
Without getting too close to you,
Oh I can't find a reason why you wasted all our time,
Who'll get, who'll get left behind oh,

And I won't share your anger,
It doesn't do me any good to feel,
And we can't shape our feelings the right way,
Until we learn things won't ever change no,

Oh there must be a way to understand the things you say,
Without letting it get to me,
Oh I may never get used to getting locked out of your life,
Who'll get, who'll get out alive,

And I won't share your anger,
It doesn't do me any good to feel,
And we can't shape our feelings the right way,
Until we learn things won't ever change no oh oh oh oh


9. BIRD SOUNDS

It's so selfish to say "We won't be found out a lie."
I hope you have a good place to hide.
Someone will find you.
No one should have to live with this much stress,
killing yourself, trying to live. (And it remains)

And it remains the only meaningful mistake
but you won't let go, you don't know how to.
And every morning I begin my dreams when i'm awake
empty bird sounds are reminders
You're not awake at all.

In the most unusual of ways
It comes without summoning
You have no choice in it.
I don't think it's selfish to say
"This doesn't matter."
I can see it running through his veins
We're in the kingdom
(And it remains)

And it remains the only thing you can't explain
but you never know, it's better not to
And every morning there's a meaningful mistake
empty bird sounds, are reminders
You're not awake at all.

We must allow, we must allow to settle and stray
Now that I see, now that I see it run through your head

And it remains the only thing you can't explain
but you won't let go, you don't know how to.
And every morning there's a meaningful mistake
You're not awake at all
You're not awake at all.


10. BLOOD FROM A STONE

Every moment I stand there and wait I recall
How you told me you don't care
It was there that you ruptured the seal in the wall
That time cannot repair

Letting it be what it is
It's impossible to know what you need
When you seem so emotionless

What'll bring you back to life?
Machine beware turn it back again

Just wanted to know every word that was said
So many were unclear
And I didn't notice if anything changed
Until you left me here

Setting it free with the wind
Seems impossible that we'd let it be what it is
So emotionless

What'll bring you back to life?
Machine beware turn it back again
What'll bring you back to life?
Machine beware turn it back again

Your stories never end
Our time is now suspended
I never feared man
So why won't you let me in this time?

What'll bring you back to life?
What'll bring you back?
I wanna bring you back

Your stories never end
Our time is now suspended
I never feared man
So why won't you let me in this time?


11. I'LL FIND A WAY

If you choose to see
Everyone is there for you to lose yourself
But nothing feels as good when you're alone
So never let it happen

Don't give into wild currents
Don't believe in callous rituals
I'll always want to carry it all, love
Find a way to carry it all for you

If you choose to make
Something so particular and force its shape
Then nothing feels as good as the mistake
When you let it happen

Don't give into wild currents
Oh, I never will
Don't believe in callous rituals
I'll always want to carry it all, love
Find a way to carry it all for you
I'll Want to carry it all, love
Find a way to carry it all for you

If you try and hide it
You will always feel alone
You will always feel alone

If you try to deny it
You will always feel alone
You will always feel alone

Oh Love
You'll take me to the end
I know you will
Oh Love
You'll tear out all your hair
I know you will

I'll always want to carry it all, love
Find a way to carry it all for you
I want to carry it all, love
Find a way to carry it all for you
