1. THE BIRDMAN

Hopelessly a man starts to feed your day
Once he was there you never looked back
How did you think that his words might just fade away
He seemed harmless enough so you let him in and now you'll pay

I can't see him but he's stalking my thoughts
How does it feel when you can't concentrate?
I just stare
All of your daydreams are a seesaw for him to play on

How does it feel when he calls your name
You can plug your ears but it's not the same
How does it feel when he pulls you back

Nobody's wrong nobody's right the birdman wouldn't lie
Nobody's wrong nobody's right but I just can't trust him tonight

How do you forget a stranger that plagues your days
We arm ourselves when there's nothing to fear right?
Wrong

How does it feel when it comes to pass there's something there
But it's not quite right
How does it feel, does it make you mad?


2. SUPERSATELLITE

I've read the bible, I've read Dylan,
I'm reading people now
Because it is much more chilling
I sit on a satellite
With the stars made of gold
There's life through that hollow lens

I know supersatellite
I watch the traffic,
I find the seeds

There's one man in particular
Who's not what he seems
I can't focus in
On the lies in his head
He's convinced that his blood is blue
But it's red
Supersatellite

Nothing dazzles me,
I am in his dreams
Nothing is shocking,
Transparent human being


3. STARSEED

I let go of the world that was holding
A passenger that could not fly
In search of souls
Souls in search of something
Let it go
Let it slide

When I find out what went on
I'll bring it back
It won't be easy
They won't believe how a man
He could drown
In a starseed

I hoped to find why this world wasn't glowing
Glowing it darkens as we end this ride
I've fallen back under the equator
I'm back inside I'm back inside

When I find out what went on
I'll bring it back but it won't be easy
They won't believe the man he could
But I'd choose starseed over nothing
Nothing


4. HOPE

Hope climbs atop of the piano
Reaching out towards the warmth of the sun
Some man tries to ask her down
But now maybe that's where she belongs

My god she said,
I'm the sunflower who wants
My god he said,
This woman is gone
Into the dark
Is there anybody there
My god she said

He climbed up top to find that she was slipping
Let her go, let her go, let me go
How long must we leave before we're winning
They don't know, they don't know they just don't know
If she can't be there I know it's best that
Nothing is denied
If she can't be there it's best that
Everyone change sides


5. NAVEED

Are you there, and is it comfortable?
did you want to escape, try to escape the population?
The pressure is deceiving,
And for you particularly should we let a young man die?

Let him die if he wants to?
I can't live here anymore
It's hard when you reach for that floor and
And there's something that tears me inside, so I can't go

Brother are you there?
Now tell me is it wonderful
Or were you hoping to find something a little more?

Climbing down the hours I need to know now
Do the hands of time only rule this chapter
I'll have to try once again, i'll have to try when I want to
There he's on his knees again
Trying hard to understand
Why Naveed would let a young man die
Convinced that he might break he reaches for that phone
And then another day has gone


6. DIRTY WALLS

So you feel that stain of dried up discussions without weight
It's that feeling you will not have to destroy
It's that feeling that you will not have to ignore

The dirty walls

So you've been plagued, but is everything okay
I cannot bear the shallow words they throw
It's that feeling that you will not have to employ
It's that feeling that you will not ...
It's got to go

This conversation is going nowhere
It's transparent as fuck
This conversation must be over
Because all I see is mud


7. DENIED

The telephone is ringing, disconnect the line
The tension is building but I'm alright
The stars are colliding, so you might as well let me go

The television is burning because I set it on fire
The wheels they keep turning, but i'm fine
What about the questions we have locked up inside

Somewhere, somehow
We've been denied
Hand in hand we walk behind pretending,
Defending while our souls are tied

It's only the third hour, my conscience subsides
But something reminds me that you lied
What about the consequences?
This can't be right


8. IS IT SAFE?

Time can't fix it fast enough,
So we won't notice what it was that went wrong
I saw something there much too familiar
A butterfly with a broken wing
She's fallen under, she's past the end,
Communication is down again
The scars have healed but they're back again
We've got to believe this man must bend
Because if you could you'd try and destroy her
And there we would be with nothing at all

Is it safe to be a man
When your tired and lonely
Only the confident know where to stand

Is it safe to be man
When the world is loaded with thousands
That can't figure out just what they did

Time can't fix it fast enough,
So we won't measure just how far below
You kept pushing her
You'll have to pay back
All of the years that you stole
She's walking backwards,
She's spun around her ears are ringing loud,
How does it feel, does it make you mad?
She's on her knees
Please understand how obvious it is
That this man must bend


9. JULIA

Can you see her standing there trying to find anywhere
There are flowers in her hand but she doesn't know why
Offered is advice to you but all you do is fake it

Mother, she's only yours tonight and she never cries mother,
I know there is hurt inside Julia

Drowning in her own visions,
She's begging the past to stay behind
There's a black cat in the night,
There's a black cat in that sky
Offered is advice to you, you left but I don't blame you

We're digging up the past to bury it one last time
I know there's pain inside that truth
But you just have to face it


10. UNDER ZENITH

Maybe they'll come back again maybe they're all gone
One day you'll find me sending their message strong
Under your feet the city falls down so far the ground is sky

We're under zenith again,
It's healthy if not for long
Leave a little room for us to breathe

Much more than seven days and you've slipped to deep
Much stronger than sympathy, let your best friend pull back that leash
Sitting by a frozen man, someone somewhere has to cry

Were under zenith again let the cycle run we won't die
Leave a little room for us to breathe

I love how you let me fall
Under but not to far
I love how you let me fall
Only now I see where we are
Hold me


11. NEON CROSSING

All you people can feel it waiting
Innocence and love, wrapped in the arms of the burning neon
I feel it, I feel it

It's so entertaining and so wonderful
It magically calls for you
Big neon crossing show me the way
Save my soul today

Don't you worry and don't be afraid
Does it send you to the world appealing
Where there is spoken word that I can't take
So I'm the liar, I'm the liar

You'd be so disappointed
To find out that the magic was not
Really meant for you
