Signs 03:10
My mind was sifting Through the sands of history When the desert swallowed everything Revealing a Sphinx in my dream She was singing a melody called Encke Like a warning of something... We gaze at the same stars For different signs But the answers were never out there They were inside the whole time On common earth no common eye Is set with a lens to better the soul But its vital, if we'll survive So you question why so many stars are falling lately? But you're still pleading with the sky for idol fame We gaze at the same stars For different signs The answers were never out there They were inside the whole time They say: 'if you bring forth what is in you, then what you draw out will save you...' We gaze at the same stars For different signs The answers were never out there They were inside the whole time

In Stone 03:40
In the darkest corner of the temple, theres a pattern cut into the rock It's a lesson I know I've been avoiding That I may rise up From death before I fall The past becomes an echo Time, a corridor I'm just trying to hear the reflections Singing from the wall All we know we will carve in stone For all we know we're just shadows Dancing on the wall So if another age seek to find out Then a younger age can find out Will another age seek to find out? Can I set an alarm with a message That'll wake in time for the future Or sleep through centuries of dynasties, Tragedies and floods The past becomes an echo on the wall When I try reading the lines Read in the lines Am I a shadow of something more? When I try reading the lines Read in the lines I'm a shadow of them I’m sure All we know we will carve in stone For all we know we're just shadows Dancing on the wall All we are we will carve in stone

Feathers for the win You flew out of this 'prison town' You said you'd never come back again Until you'd conquered all the sky, Or looked down on all the world With dizzying pride Listen to the warning in the wind The reapers hand is not confined to land or status So the higher you soar, to the roar of your ego A greater force is reaching from below It's the sound of gravity calling The sound of gravity calling I've seen so many feathers in the sea before and I know you need something to live for, Something to strive for I don't want to drag you down, I just know you need to be grounded Finally high enough? Feel yourself burning up Is this the heat you've been aiming for? Feel your wings melting of Dreaming of descending, you are falling, spinning back to earth But the damage is in the distance You insist to exist apart from us Icarus, learn to land once in a while You're living like a star I've seen so many falling and burning lately I know theres more to you than just wings Listen now, or the last thing you will hear Is the sound of gravity calling The sound of gravity calling

No Evil 04:17
Humanitarian love-bombs cut deep A village bleeds out into the sea A girl survives, without a family Tiny dirty hands, just five years old Receives a simple toy, Softest thing she's ever held up to her face, I crumble (We wanna see no evil) So I shut my eyes and carry on (We all wanna hear no evil) So I block my ears and carry on (We don't want to swallow evil) Well, I shut my mouth and carry on (Sit around and wait for time to yell) What side of history I'm on What side of history I'm on Of all the triggers of empathy Is it her innocence I see within me? Or is it that I'm a part of this machine Somehow contributing to all of this… Have you heard of that line that runs through every heart? Its that shadow of the Gulag, the Auschwitz prison guard Do you feel no evil? Do you fear no evil? One day I'll have to explain How we let the villains run the show As the grandkids ask the question Why we caged up those Who had nowhere else to go... Well I covered my eyes and carried on I blocked my ears and carried on Will I shut my mouth and carry on? Just to carry on?

Is this what you wanted? I float in my shame & I know I’ll never untangle my heavy name I'm just trying to get my head above water I only wanna get my head above water In this tidal wave of outrage  This is the age of outrage - It’s all the rage This is the age of outrage So have you heard about that vicious bird? Scoop you up, drop you deep into that social sea You can drown yourself with eleven words While the strawmen hold you underneath I'm just trying to get my head above water I only wanna get my head above water In this tidal wave of outrage  This is the age of outrage - It’s all the rage This is the age of outrage It’s the era triggered dancing thumbs are waiting For the chance to be offended  This is the time maladroit opinions propagate From ripples into tempests They don’t care if you apologise Just want to see you destroyed I'm just trying to get my head above water I only wanna get my head above water In this tidal wave of outrage This is the age of outrage This is the age

Lie Detector 03:03
That little twitch in your eye The way you look left, then to the right Scattered holes in all your story lines, and I Really should have really seen the signs Who's gonna test you every day? I'm not a lie detector Who's gonna test the things you do? I'm not a lie detector for you That interrogating light you used to shine on me Has twisted 'round now and blazes back at you So go and preach all of your alibis, Entangle somebody new in your alternative truths I'm cutting you loose Who's gonna test you every day? I'm not a lie detector Who's gonna test the things you do? I'm not a lie detector for you I'm not about to waste one more minute of my life I'm not going to waste one more second of my life On your alibi Who's gonna test you every day? I'm not a lie detector Who's gonna test the things you do? I'm not a lie, a lie, a liar, Liar
