Getting Old 02:36
Dragging myself out the door thinking I don't know what for seems nothing is quite worth the effort but I never want to miss out on the cool things to do and maybe I'll find something new if I could just get it going while my drive is slowing what do you do when your days unfold and everything you used to like is getting old part of the story left untold and everything's getting old Don't ever push it too far trying to lower the bar I guess I should've known better no one ever seems to see I always feel out of place standing in a different space didn't I learn how to fit in with how old I'm getting Didn't I hear this before could I not care any more I guess it's obvious to me how I want the world to be no longer pretend to enjoy things that intend to annoy when was this character stunted that I never wanted
2.
Nobody Move 02:23
A moment of weakness you're talking at me I've got nothing to say and I know do something 'cause you're not just going away you're dragging the track down and kicking all the dust off everyone don't they know you'll just keep pushing buttons until you're done I'll never take this number again but still I can't stop taking it in the liberties taken awakened all the monsters under the bed don't be one don't let the affirmations go to your head you're tagging a sucker I'm flagging the conductor to get involved on and on just hoping someone can make sense of it all nobody move, nobody get hurt something to prove that this is absurd I must infer a drunken encounter I'm thinking that you don't know when to say when the next day just guessing that it happens all over again but never the matter reliving all the platitudes of the day so it goes just watching as your life gets wasted away I'll never take this number again but still I can't stop taking it in no one in your mind knows what you're doing it for while the stars align and even they can't take anymore nobody move, nobody get hurt something to prove that this is absurd I must infer nobody move, nobody get hurt something to prove that this absurd I wonder what lies under the surface of absurd

the glimmer's fading from the flames you fanned and everyone is waiting to witness your last stand and you want the world to think you fit the bill sad little king of a sad little hill tear yourself away from the sad delusions that lead you to this fray and you're never going to feign to fit the bill take all the time you need to kill sad little king of a sad little hill and you want the world to think you fit the bill sad little king of a sad little hill Let the flailing end take the last disorders your failing to defend 'cause you're never going to feign to fit the bill sad little king of a sad little hill take all the time you need to kill sad little king of a sad little hill

Mythology 03:26
If you need a way to make it all make sense To let someone else define yourself as a form of self-defense I've just the thing to dispel your fears if you just believe what came before was misperceived and nothing more It's all mythology, fading lines of history It's all mythology, fading lies of fantasy How did you get so bold to decide the ideas of the past are just lies that someone told but not this time, this one is the way under all these eyes it must be true but I wonder if you've thought that through I just don't know how you can claim that one is make believe while the other's worth a vow they're all the same, you know it's true and you wonder why I can't believe but you're faith is harder to conceive
5.
Worse Things 02:58
Everytime that I fall behind in my drive to be redefined I've got a million things to do and no energy so light another fuse and step back to see whether I'm gonna blow this time I'll admit that I have got my doubts of sustaining all these fitful bouts but I'm wishing them all away there's worse things to know than when to let things go there's worse things to do with my time than everything distracting me I could do with some time alone when it's true that my fuse has blown but then I'm inclined to find one more match to burn where I can find the time's none of my concern I can blow this on my own I'll admit that I have got my doubts of sustaining all these fitful bouts but I'm wishing them all away there's worse things to find than you've changed your mind there's worse things to do with my time than everything distracting me there's worse things to with your time than all these dumb distractions If I knew what to focus on I'd construe who the joke is on I've got a million things to do and I don't have time so light another fuse and wait for a sign hold the tune til the smoke is gone There's worse things to do with your time than how I'm wasting mine

In the end the pattern was stalled nothing to defend nobody appalled the trajectory was something to see as it ran off the rails and the likelihood of good outcomes would decrease by the day as orbits decay in a series of fails In the alternate timeline the answers came too late and the sequence failed as dissent prevailed indecision wiped the slate Don't say you didn't see the signs at least in the outlines of all the days that were misspent And the trials not faced and the trust misplaced combined to deplete, divide and defeat every party we sent In the alternate timeline the rift was closed too soon and we went this way but we couldn't say if the fields were out of tune in the alternate timeline the answers came too late and the sequence failed as dissent prevailed indecision wiped the slate and now the feelings setting in I think we can begin to admit the faults in our prevailing course and the subtle signs we've seen that we didn't know to mean time to turn back, take up the slack and remeasure the force

Downstream 02:25
the level is drawn but the water is gone and I watched it all drifting away if I didn't know better i'd guess it was never that great as i stand on the edge of the bank and my mind keeps on drawing a blank I'm ignoring the signs and pretending it's fine but I say Somewhere downstream there goes my scene just washed away somewhere downstream or somewhere between the people move on the faces all change and then get redrawn and my only regret is I start to forget all the names are they sending me some kind of sign as they all seem to fall out of line I was never inclined to get so resigned but I say Somewhere downstream there goes my scene just washed away somewhere downstream or somewhere between

Feel I should apologize is it pretentious in your eyes to think you'd want to hear our band hope you'd care or even understand and you can throw it out if there is no doubt you've heard this song before 'cause I'm not gonna care about it anymore and if there's nothing new can I copy you steal a song or two a borrowed line here and there they were never mine why should I care? And if it's all been done then we're on our way with a bullet straight to number one 'cause we stole the hits we may not be artists but at least we're not dumb old songs that we abused and ignorance is such a lame excuse but I didn't know what I'd got into I was only twelve and it seemed like the thing to do that's all it was nothing more than something fun to do I'm sorry if you're disappointed in the truth

Bad Ear 02:02
What did you say? a million times repeated every day and all the things I struggle to discern pile ever higher what I thought I heard and all for naught deferred and all the signals disappear in the depths of my bad ear after all the times I never learned cranking up the marshall unconcerned now here I sit confused by all the noise smiling and nodding what I thought you said and all the lips misread and all the signals disappear in the depths of my bad ear everything is so unclear that's the worst of my bad ear and they can't tell me why I can't decide whether I should bother to confide that I've got no idea what you just said or let you go on talking
10.
the signs of inaction are everywhere the smell of distraction fills the air the foundations crumble and start to sink witness the aging empire on the brink while there's something in the air that casts a pall the decline was never obvious at all cause they always seem to shine before the fall while everybody was looking down it seems all the vultures went to town they're stripping the wires and pulling pins watching the fortunes fade as it begins while there's something in the air that casts a pall the decline was never obvious at all cause they always seem to shine before the fall failing became the only way shame that nobody can say why...say why as all the structures fall apart no one remembers about the start they were conned into something that seemed ok and watched all the strides of time just fade away while there's something in the air that casts a pall the decline was never obvious at all cause they always seem to shine before the fall with their confidence unshaken the decline was never obvious at all but their logic was mistaken cause they always seem to shine before the fall

Someone crossed out every line But your stories still untwine I find it odd unsubtle fraud all the things that you omit make you seem unfit for further use a sad excuse the dodgy eyes and the shaking hands make me wonder what you didn't understand and what was planned all the claims that have been made while your aims all start to fade under the light it don't seem right and all the warning signs traced inside the lines and laced to bad designs so many red flags on the rise i'll see your demise will the shadows hide the tracts of all the empty acts that fill your plate with useless weight but you never really said that your thoughts have been misread they lead nowhere that you're aware but the small half-truths and the brazen lies make me wonder if you never realized that's how it dies you're way out of your depth just a slight misstep you're gonna burn on return and all the warning signs traced inside the lines and laced to bad designs so many red flags on the rise so many red flags in your eyes i'll see your demise
12.
Leading down the path of no returns could be best described as "never learns" anxious to see where faults tend to be as we follow some tracks that we found time slips on by, wondering why won't anyone turn this around follow that dinosaur the fossils will tell how it went down when misfortunes befell follow that dinosaur it's not gonna end well I get the sense that someone's going to pay for all the times that no one's stood in the way nearing too late to dither and wait as you say you did not realize which path do you take, decisions to make and you might want to open your eyes extinction's waiting, I'm understating The evidence to follow we may never know but the warnings all ring hollow without a show nothing to see, it was just meant to be as they claim it's some kind of design hell of plan, when it began not that the point is too fine
