We forget about gravity and soon we learn to breathe
We forget about gravity and the lights are shining up from underneath the sea
We forget about gravity and soon we learn to breathe
We forget about gravity!
We forget about gravity!
When you think about humanity it seems we're just working our way back to the sea
When you think about humanity
When you think about what you believe:
Do you really know what you believe?
Do you believe what you believe?
We forget about gravity and soon we learn to breathe
We forget about gravity and the lights are shining up from underneath the sea
We forget about gravity and soon we learn to breathe
We forget about gravity!
We forget about gravity!

Born of My Chemistry

There's no need to leave the light on for these lonely hearts
We've seen enough of the world and read it's maps and charts
Sometimes loneliness is a choice that's made from all of life's
Intricate parts.
So there's no need to leave the light on for these lonely hearts
There's no need to leave the light on for these lonely hearts
There are worse things in this world than love that's lost
When i was a child I could foresee the future
The past and the present
With the memories excluded
But that didn't matter because i had my passions
My dreams, and my undesirable endeavors
I only have only life, 'twould be a shame to waste it
On some superficial dream that's just born of my chemistry
So just be quiet, i'd say you've said enough
You're all just empty shells and you're slaves to your lust
Because I think it's a choice one makes to settle a broken heart
But then you're back to the start
So you don't need to leave the light on for the lonely hearts
No you don't need to leave the light on for the lonely hearts
We will find our way through the dark
Through the darkest, darkest dark
We will find our way through the dark

My enemy: I tried to see by looking deep into your eye
Crawling through the endless fields
Reaching out into your mind
THEY TRIED TO TAKE IT RIGHT OUT THROUGH MY BRAIN!
I'm losing out to empathy.
They take from me all I can give.
But i'm busting out from this routine
And i'm leaving you all behind
THEY TRIED TO TAKE IT RIGHT OUT THROUGH MY BRAIN!
THEY TRIED TO TAKE IT RIGHT OUT THROUGH MY BRAIN!

The New Ice Age
04:34

Everywhere you go, no matter what you do
We'll be watching you, we will see this through
From the air above, to the ground below
There is life between and its growing cold.
I tip my hat to the passing rain
Holding fists of rage
I want to be a part of the sea
where a man is free
Where a man don't breathe.
But it's too late to sink to the bottom now
You better kick your feet.
You better close your eyes
And try to dream.
Everywhere you go, no matter what you do
We'll be watching you, we will see this through
From the air above, to the ground below
There is life between and its growing colder,
It's the new Ice Age.
You're growing older but its just the start of a new phase.
You've grown much wiser and you've shed your skin
Past the posthumous faces that won't let you win
And then it's too late to sink to the bottom now
You better shut your mouth
You might as well just scream
And now you're shaking hands,
With all the turners and cancers.
The mechanical faces of the human racers
The mechanical faces of the human racers
Now it's too late to sink to the bottom now
You better kick your feet.
You better close your eyes
And try to dream.

Come into the light, I can't see well at my age.
Come into the light, so I can see what of you remains.
There is a novel concept of transcending time.
Step into the light, but leave all the rest of you behind.
Look into the mirror, can you see that same fire in your eyes?
Look into the mirror, is it only ashes and cinder?
YOU ARE THE ONE THAT'S BEEN CALLING ME, CALLING MY NAME!
YOU ARE THE ONE WHO'S BEEN OUT THERE, CALLING MY NAME!
Come into my house, you mustn't stay out in the rain.
But keep out of my life, for I could not shoulder that pain.
YOU ARE THE ONE THAT'S BEEN CALLING ME, CALLING MY NAME!
YOU ARE THE ONE THAT'S BEEN CALLING ME, CALLING MY NAME!
We are, we are, we are holding out for so much more.
We are, we are, we are looking out for no one else.

The Harvest

There is a formula for life that creates the brightest lights
In the depths of the stars, or a galaxy afar: it makes for a beautiful sight.
And life feeds on life
Just as darkness needs light
And its calling you, calling me, calling out down through the night
Just take a breath and try to hold it in
Take a breath and try to hold it in
So we call on his majesty with all his hypocrisy
It doesn't mean anything, mean anything to me.
And to all of the gentiles that bow to their servant queen:
It's only heresy,
It's only blasphemy.
So you take a breath and you try to hold it in
Take a breath and you try to hold it in
There's a call in the night that springs forth like new life
And beats in your heart like a drum
It's all we know!
You are feeding the flames and hiding your shame
While your heart melts like snow in the sun.
HELL, IT'S ALL WE KNOW!
HELL, IT'S ALL WE KNOW!

Snow
03:38

Sunlight drips through the autumn leaves, fighting for position within nature's ebb and flow.
You'll know how it ends, right where it begins when circumvention brings a calmness, and ends the decision to stop or slow: you'll know.
There are many things that are curious things, that you can only see in a vision and requires no revisions for when it gets cold, you can follow them home.
You can follow them home.
And if you tie me down, just turn me around so I can sit and watch the city asleep below.
And when a new day dawns before my eyes, please don't let the world know my heart was made of snow.
As a sparrow takes to the Eastern wind, a girl in a window sees it as a sign of hope.
And in a garden some time past Autumn a Lily and a Rose have continued to grow
Despite the snow and the blistering cold.
If you hear the sound but the source can't be found, just tell everyone that it came down from below. Where the poor fools have been pushed, reviled and mistook for some cruel, lecherous heart in some creature's soul.

Here comes the light again making colors through raindrops in the air
The eyes of all the crowds below, marveled in their own mysterious way
Because such a thing is rarely seen
And in the weakest eyes it's something beautiful
I'm reminded of the days that would take me away
Leaving nothing there for me to hold.
The innocence is hurried as everything becomes waves and pools
And for years i've tried and now I realize
Looking in your eyes is something beautiful
It's something beautiful
Now you thumb through past persuasions for a vague resemblance of a dream
Like that day you died and realized life wasn't what it seemed
It was something new to your eyes.
In your mind it's something beautiful
It took many days to realize that there was love somewhere deep inside
As we saw the world—and its wicked ways—everyone was happy that day
Just to be alive
Just to be alive

'Till the Day Is Through
04:20

When you say you're not lonely, well you're telling me a lie
Because in this world there is only, an empty universe and life
Because i believe there isn't anything we haven't tried
There's only you and me and the love we bring
Into each other's life
So don't depend on me and I won't depend on you
And we'll go our separate ways through the haze, in a daze, until the day is through
This conventional life's never lived up with how it makes me feel
I'll just stay on the run, like some demon's gonna come nippin' at my heels
And I assume, if my heart is true
It won't lead me astray
And if i can't change, i'll take the pain it takes to remain the same
any day
So don't lean on me, and i won't lean on you
And we'll go this way without a sound and hit the ground
When the day is through
So if I say i'm not lonely, well i'm telling you a lie
Because in this world I have only
An empty universe and life.
