Magic 03:36
Are you feeling lonely tonight? Feel like you're the only one alive? Looking for a light that still shines? Looking for a light that's devine? Can't find it. Here's a little bit of magic baby. Here's a little something new. You need a little meaning in your life to make the mysteries all come true. I won't boast the lacry-most, but years of tears have left you broke and begging for some change. Feeling distant and dissonant and wishing things were different, but everything still feels the same. Looking for a light that still shines?

Dreamer 05:55
And you do not stop. You just keep on keeping up. You always do just what you're told. And you know that you're not in control. And you do not stop. You just keep on keeping that act up. You just wear the mask that you're sold. 'Cause you know that you've got no control. And so you hide yourself way down inside yourself. You're just as alone as the dreamer sleeping. Don't want to spend your life building their temples. Don't want to believe when they tell you that it's simple. Doing everything you can just to break these chains. Doing everything you can just to find something. Think you'll run away, disobey, try and change something. But you stay that way, stay the same, can't change nothing. Still a slave to your own wanting. 'Cause you can't help but believe when they tell you that it's magic. And you buy the fantasy when they say it's fantastic. And you eat it up. And you do not stop. You're just as alone as the dreamer sleeping.

We could arrange for change if we decide to. Couldn't remain the same if we tried to. Thy wheel be done, kingdom becomes inside of me. Everything's going to fade away sometime. Rust and moth gonna take away what's mine. Thy wheel be done, kingdom becomes, so look and see. Weeping in to open palms, where silence speaks a psalm, alone. You can't ever get home again. Didn't realize when I opened up my eyes today that nothing would ever be the same. Everything that I thought I was would fade away. Everything that I thought I had is gone today. And the future that I thought was mine, it's all been left behind. I cannot press rewind because this is not a play. You can't ever get home again.

Leviathan 04:03
There's a deep that's down inside me where I cast my thoughts to drown. This dark ocean swells in violence to drag us all right down. And I know I'm going under. Underneath the surface where the forgotten ones lie. Underneath the surface into the storm of my own eye. Underneath the surface to find out what is still inside. Underneath the surface, yeah, I'm headed straight down. I felt something inside me say that I should stop hiding this heart of mine away. So listen to what I'm feeling. Listen to what I say. Listen because I'm begging. I need to get this straight. Because this thing inside me is screaming to get away. Screaming listen. Underneath the surface.

Singing 03:21
I'm finding out about it, that I'm not one of those who silent as a cloud just drift wherever wind would blow. I'm finally doubtless about it, this light I'm holding shows that shadows' glance will at a glance conceal what really glows. Been listening for an answer. Been looking for a cure. Been hoping that there's something worth all this trying for. Been listening for an answer, some magic words unknown. Been listening with all my heart and now I'm starting to let it... That sound... A voice is singing, baby. That sound, yeah, this one's my own. That sound, my Will is singing, baby. It's calling me back home. Loud as a storm. New as another color. Strong as the names we use to hold each other. As powerful as secret words and secret kinds of knowledge. As meaningful as sharing words and showing others knowledge. Blown by a wind that blows from by own lungs. Reading the truth written in my own tongue. Been listening for an answer, these magic words I know. Been listening to my heart, and now I'm starting to let it... That sound...

Wilderness 03:32

Mister E he keeps me guessing. But since he equals Emcee, yes then the potential inner me is the question, and kinetic energy is the lesson. Got to get up high, to the shoulders of giants. We're circling the sun but you can't admit it. You ain't looking for none, but here's the first exhibit. You're scared of evolution when your living in it. You know the truth is the one but you still condemn it. Got to get up high, on the shoulders of giants. Mister E, he keeps me guessing. But since he equals Emcee, yes then, Master of Ceremony giving blessings, and we always keep our eyes on the heavens. We're circling the sun.

The Fall 03:25
This life, is it more than bones and dust? You've tried, but I know your giving up. Don't die because there must be more that you want. This life. Let it all fall way and come with me, my love. Let it all fall away. It doesn't matter now, my love. This life, can you feel it fading away? Getting farther every day. Just hold on for one more day. This life. Let it all fall away.

Lovers 03:49
All of this will fade away. This will not remain the same. One thing I know is true, while all things fall, I wait for you. This pain will fall away. Time will take it all away. I know this much is true, as all light fades I will wait for you. Because I still believe that you will come to me, and I will wait until eternity. Because things are going to change, my love. All you have will pass away. All you hold onto is going to fade. One thing that still stays true- Though all else fails, I wait for you. Because I still believe that you will come to me, and I will wait until eternity. Because things are going to change, my love. I still believe that you will come to me, and now I wait until eternity.

Flow, oh my tears. Flow down to the shore. Drift away from here. Or weep for ever more. Flow, my tears. Forever and ever.

Judgement 05:20
And the stones come down upon me, and I know that you cast one too. Eyes that hide what you had inside, and this is what you've turned into. And the stones come down upon me, and I know that you cast one too. Intentions lied, and you never tried. Your actions speak what you've turned into. And the stones come down upon me. And the water's rising up for you. Close these eyes and say goodbye to all the things I tried to say. And the stones come down upon me. And the water's rising up for you. And all the things that might have been, here at the end they wash away.
