1.
there's a phantom in the sky that whispers secret paradigms you've been listening for so long up above the trees suspended somewhere in between is a traveler hanging on just as afraid as you are let your soul become a beacon for a safe and welcome landing here on the earth for a friend stumbling on the ground and hearing unfamiliar sounds our gravity is new to you and all the people here seem so strange but stranger we're so much the same because i feel homesick too just as afraid as you are the veil that surrounds you and the fires all around you are more than just stars in the sky let them guide you
2.
“don't be afraid 'cause it's all just a crazy dream.” i wish you could make me believe but i think you should leave before they hear what you're saying to me how long will these circles and sirens keep haunting me? why don't you ask the machine from its casket and see what it means to be alive and free we're lost in the sound of a terrified frequency they scream it out loud but today we're not listening “it's just a game you can play or you can walk away.” it's the way it has to be and will always be and if i run they might kill me why are you insisting on twisting everything I know? just take some time to lose your mind a little while and smile before it's time to go
3.
for a ghost in the doorway a mask upon your face and for the devil that's on your shoulder you can't erase everything keep freezing it won't be long we'll wait patiently and play along the shadow laughing in the corner that you still keep with you while you run and the song by the lake for a grey mistake as you're coming undone but you're wrong and you're burying yourself alive in a grave that you made to lay in and survive you're the fool who almost saved the world you're the fool who almost gave the world away to a place so dead a place so black a place so cold a place that wants you right here judecca in broad daylight inside and out keep listening your mind your safety your center lies open pinned to the table for dissection and nothing can stop them there's nothing that you can do it stares in and smiles when it knows you're alone
4.
the sea that you found in a dream you had so long ago where waves crash like static on a shore made of stone a grey sky so heavy makes it hard just to move and trees stand like soldiers with something to prove they know you by name and they recognize your face they scare you to death but you stay in this place hands around your neck and you barely can breathe but the weight in your heart's much too heavy to leave dream and run rain falls like nails in your head but you know the song from the creature that's sleeping below a paralyzing melody inviting the storm with a blanket of ashes to keep your ghost warm
5.
thirty two light minutes waving goodbye they gaze from the ocean at cracks the sky passing by deep in the water a kingdom remains watching ganymede fly by like a bird on a chain fly away they don't know us they don't know fear they will live on as we disappear the ocean we see in our dreams can't believe in us or hear our screams glowing so far below crystalline fields their spirits sing harmonies never revealed to be real sometimes in their nightmares are visions of a bright and spiritless black and blue dead satellite then it's gone you've been gone so long now it's time to return come home soon
6.
sometimes the eyes that you watch the world through aren't the same as the ones you believed the day before and the wolves are on to you and they won't forget your name you can give everything but they still want more you left a light on before you knew you were gone a quiet spark to always shine and bring you back to the starting line no one else can change your mind and no one else can make you find a light
7.
are they calling out to you? and do they sympathize? are they reaching out to you? and see through your disguise? i know they try to help you get by they light up your eyes telling you your favorite lies “we're gonna help you change the world. we're gonna help you get the girl. just trust in us first.” they said from beneath the earth they sang from beneath the earth please don't you just fade away into a moment that you can never rewind and change it's the nightmare you chase and the look on your face when you realize it's you who built this place in the halls of the dead candles dance in your head you can you leave but you sleep and drown instead in the room that you're in serpents dance in your skin your killer waits for you and smiles from within you
8.
you ran away and you brought the rain with you to a desert up north i couldn't hear you say goodbye i was much too busy hanging around playing dead with a million devils right here in my head i guess i never know how to let them go enough to let you get through i lost you but i'm listening now am i missing out? reaching up and burning down that house to the ground there's a peace of mind over the last line you drew i lost you but i'm listening now am i missing out?
9.
you are 03:14
another day in the fire and you're still cold whispering through wires is getting old it feels like something's about to break and you just can't fall asleep now until the world's awake the fear you love it has you frozen but don't be sad it doesn't matter that you chose it it hurts so bad you always burn every bridge you cross there's no wrong way and no right way to be lost lose a fight and take a scar a day will come it's not that far you'll be glad to be exactly who you are you'll be ok i promise don't fall apart you've got friend that's been beside you from the start sometimes you learn from a bridge you cross there's no wrong way and no right way to be lost lose a fight and take a scar a day will come it's not that far you'll be glad to be exactly who you are
10.
defending the house from the table strong enough and able to send all the demons back where they came from the machine that you run in your dreams and a spirit is chasing a chain so evasive again and again do you think that you can change? all the things you couldn't say you've got a guardian in grey and so many more on the way when can i open my eyes? “right now,” you said and walked toward the ledge and said “it's all in your head. you thought the world had died but it was all just you inside.” someday i hope to see that you've been speaking to me through everything and anything even before i knew you were watching and ready to catch me the edge i was tracing i was escaping where am i now?
11.
there's a war for the sun one that no one wants to win all sides would rather hide in the shade that they're in and it never seems to change spinning lies with a wild empty look in your eyes a stare across the world that could stop the sun's rise did your dream slip away? nothing stays the same fight like you never knew you were afraid don't let the fire inside of you fade away you'll fight your own war for the sun so strange how you've changed all the plans that you made and the world looks like avarice and death on parade did your spirit drift away? sleepwalking in the rain the sun in the sky is not mine who am i turning into? the sun still shines on a landmine there's a light that's just not shining through there's a face in the mirror that's not mine who are you turning into? fight for the sun
12.
they want you to fly like a vulture and run free like a plague they'll teach you to swim in a culture and die for a dream that is vaguely yours we're counting our charade in fours is there something wrong with you? you don't look quite right do you feel ok? what's the look in your eyes? what's wrong with you? think back to the way it was before it can never be that way again in this life are you better off handing your heart to a lie?
13.
the air was alive i had nothing to say the future's arrived now and you're still the same that's the lie that i tell myself i just closed my eyes while my sky died and fell because my illusions were living well a ghost i invited to stay in my head was a friend for a while while it wanted me dead she laughs at the fears that still chase me she would but forgot to erase me sometimes that's what makes me completely insane and so strangely in love with uncertainty

you've got better days ahead but right now you're in the red because you're in your head and so don't panic now i know how you sometimes get when it's time to let something go oh why crazy sky? we'll meet again when you're out this way i wish you could but you cannot stay they've got a home for you way up high goodbye crazy sky
