/ 1 / Awaiting Instruction a crime its a crime we carry out the time beats the time my love // awaiting instruction pacing / impa- tient / racing for words when the day’s losing face / the certain de- struction / she hums in the kitchen the shelter of answer / the maze , im amazed awaiting instruction / the games in the games when you / call this inac- tion / the names just a name arranging distraction / the flames we have framed with our / burning reac- tion / the planes stuck in planes were fighting for action / you’re per- fect , imperfect / inviting the past in’s a curse / and it hurts send your signals down it’s you we're losing now // crime , its a crime we carry out the time beats the time my love the time, its the time we bury now a crime , its a crime my love // awaiting instruction / the taming, the blaming / the first interruption / the birth of your worth / we’re fighting for action, you’re perfect , imperfect / inviting the past in’s a curse and it hurts. send your signals down, its you we're losing now / signals signals signals crime its a crime we carry out the time beats the time my love the time, it’s the time we bury now a crime , it’s a crime my love

Hard Act to Follow i hope im not being hollow / but your a hard act to follow. / i know im not one to wallow / but you're a tough pill to swallow i hope im not being shallow / but you have swept me in shadow / i know i lost the apollo / but your a hard act to follow right from your right words we sight comes first then we are heard right from your right words we sight comes first then we are... it seems were stuck in a rhythm / the needle skipping decision / it seems were holding our pattern / regard- less of all of the chatter youre not the one youre not the one i hope im not being shallow / but you have drenched me in shadow / i know i lost the apollo / but your a hard act to follow.

Sitting on Top of the World sitting on top of the world waiting it out til we’re sure we might be here for years high on the halo of your fears nothings wrong the cradle and the song were made for you to come take it til its gone standing on top of the tower waiting for the witchin hour we might be here til the end lost in the lovelight never spoken nothings wrong the cradle and the song were made for you to come take it til its gone

It Flows 04:14
It Flows found myself alone / can’t recall why i call this home / surely there’s a shad- ow on the rise / four weeks since we formed / i feel our fingers through the floor / praying to the patterns on your eyes we’ll take it as it comes / til all that’s left are the settlin suns / let these streets sit patient for the night / if nothing comes for free / what will we make of sympathy ? / every story’s got some place to hide. when you find your flow it flows, it flows when you find your road it goes, it grows the truth she wont be found / toilin over soiled ground / what will fall will fall as it were / the only vacant fight the half worn gasp of passion’s cry / what will stall will stall , so i’ve heard when you find your flow it flows, it flows when you find your road it goes, it grows

On a twisted trail of paper I see the lines roll On a scattered sunday morning I see the times blow In a blistered conversation I hear the wine's toll In the miscommunication We watch the signs grow I know you're in the right But there's no need to save me The timings just not right Baby not tonight There's nothing left to say here Lets turn out the light Forgive me my love Give me my love On a misted picture window I see the lines roll Were gonna miss this occupation When the time goes Something can always grow from nothing When you just embrace the wanting Time is on our side Someone can quickly turn to no one When you're lost in where you're going Life is on the line. On a twisted trail of paper I see the lines roll

Mad As Moses 05:24
Mad as Moses mad as moses stranded at your shore / who will stand for mans un- godly chore? / can commandments fall from human kind? / who are you to sift the sands of time? mad as moses leading lands of lost he who waits for answers chances all sweating bullets built on battle scenes raise your wrists we’re splitting at the seams all cries uncommon man’s eyes forgotten they say all songs unspoken mend lives when broken i pray mad as moses stranded at your door / who were you? what were we fight- ing for? / i’ve seen the way these sto- ries tend to go / sandstorms tossed and nothing left to show.
7.
Say You’re the First say you’re the first / say you’re the last / say it’s alright, just say you wont ask where we went wrong / the colors obscene / where the waves formed and swept us to sea. you say you’re the worst / i say you’re a blast / you say the lights burst / and then they retract where we went wrong the murder unseen when the last laugh was born from the steam say anything dear but just say my name / the words to follow will fall just the same / you show me the first i show you the best / when the lights fall, the crush of your press the stories untold the fortunes unseen the heart that you hold the purest i’ve seen the glories untold the fortunes unseen the heart that you hold the furious dream say it so clear say you’re the first say you’re the last say it’s alright just say you wont ask
8.
Time 06:48
Time the time has come / for letting go of what we know / the time has arrived / for stepping stones to new unknowns all these precious games the maiden names we’ve stayed the same all these simple crimes the wasted lines we’re losing time run and soar tiil we fall climb and claw can’t live without your love anymore to find the one / who’ll mend a sleeve with sympathy / to climb and run through stepping stones / o’er than below
9.
Returning the Shard returning the shard to the glass that has broken / come see the day that has long been misspoken / release the lights and colors you’ve hidden / as they laugh all about because you must be kiddin waiting for the dawn they’ll thank you for it all wavin your palms in the slowest of motion / long live the day where the brave break for no one / lost on the limb of the limelight they blame you / turn it around and soon they will name you waiting for the dawn they’ll thank you for it all aah ... cant feel my hands but i feel your frus- tration / soon we will land but for now please be patient / you cant fade me out but you can switch the station / so workin it out becomes grand in- cantation waiting for the dawn they’ll thank you for it all
10.
Miles To Go 05:20
Miles to Go well i know / we’ve got miles to go til we sleep / we’ve got crowds to feed back at home / ‘fore the feelings gone as the violet light / blurs the wrong from the right / cant we let this all / sit tight? well i’ve seen / just what’s left of me implode / as the tension grows, / we agree its no crime to breathe as the violet light / blurs the wrong from the right / cant we let this all / sit tight? as the violet light / brings stillness back from the night / cant we let this all / sit tight ?
