We built this ship
To pierce the sky
We're carrying the weight of the world
We can't release
And don't know why
We're carrying the weight of the world
(pre chorus)
Into the sun
We mark the days
If it's a time for a change, then change
(chorus)
So long, Innocent Life
It's time to move on
Time to release
From a cold song that's leaving me dry
Time to move on
Time to release
If love is timeless
Then what do I get?
I guess that's just the way of the world
You never show them
How much you know them
I guess that's just the way of the world
(pre chorus)
(chorus)
(bridge)
I took the twisted road
To the ocean and slept
It felt like years ago
But I know it's been less
You kept my life on a string
That flows with the wind
And now it's circles and rings
Again and again
So it goes, so it goes
That's why it's ...

Ever since the beginning
CREATURES had a territory to keep
So intent on this obligation
A confrontation ensued when new eyes did meet
Nothing's gonna change
Everybody's got something so innate
Satellite's gonna give the image
Of just how much territory there is to gain
Can"t we be good to go with what we've got?
Can't we agree we've been dealt a lot?
Stop wanting more
You've got enough air to breathe
All the bottled water that one man needs
Stop looking to technology for your answer
You're in my town, have a seat
I've got an image in store
It's a picture that is so revealing
You'll never scurry home
Nothing's gonna change
The heat rays collide with the soil
The hotter it gets, the faster it grooves
That's all anybody needs to know
Can't we be good to go with what we've got?
Can't we agree we've been dealt a lot?
Stop wanting more
You've got enough air to breathe
All the bottled water that one man needs
Stop looking to technology for your answer

Chokin'

I’ve been broken
I’ve been raked across the coals
I’ve been saved
I’ve been tossed into the burning flames
But the weight of misery
Is not calculated in the weight
Of pain you pour yourself
Now with only a buzz in my head
I can sit and run my mouth
From spring to fall
Dreaming of a scheme
To fall into my hands
Sown into the sand
Free to roam and grow
Wake up, you’re in a dream
(Chorus)
Feels like you’re falling
But you’re just sliding off your pillow
Feels like we’re too high
But with clear eyes see we’re all so low
While the whole world slips away
Like a cool breeze through the unknown
Find it hard to breath
Too much beauty leaves our minds blown
I’ve been chokin’
I’ve been buried to my neck in gold
I’ve been summoned
To a service seven generations old
They say if you work twice as hard
You make twice as much and live half as long
So long
(Chorus)

Where We Lay
05:37
|
|||
|
As walking through a thousand years we see that one
That would stop me in my tracks and I would soon learn
The feeling of a bed worth sleeping in
Closed were my eyes until your picture opened them
A completion of the idea I’d been forming
That awaking moment never was my friend then
(Chorus)
All my nerves will answer
For the fear
Where the dream lies
Is where we lay
One of a thousand “hello”s we had expressed then
Rolling chances we would never expect to win
But then it falls into your hands just as you planned
Throw everything into a hole
Run away and find the one who makes you whole
(Chorus)

Very Close
05:06
|
|||
|
Very close to it
Near the place I sit
Fleeting flashes of
First we’re here, then gone
Totally at ease
How he likes to be
Knowing all can see
Where he’s placed his feet
It’s a hard day gone, but it don’t mean a thing
How long can you go on
Sitting there in between
The lines
(Pre Chorus)
There’s a place you see in your head
Where perfection flows, here instead
Life is real and time is all you have
To make the whole believe as you feel
(Chorus)
The highs and the lows won’t show
Each other to the in between
The left and the right won’t let
The other find a place to swing
Very close to a day when it won’t mean a thing
By-gones, so long, return back where you came
Very dear to me
Why’d it seem to flee
The fleeting flashes of
Soul’s security
Cross the tracks and see
Where the grass is green
Where we make the ends
Into the means
It’s a hard lesson learned, but it don’t mean a thing
How long can you go on
Sitting there in between
The lines
(Pre Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Oh my father who founded the ground
Which we stand on
You took it from someone
And now they’re gonna take it away
Oh how fair
It doesn’t matter where you come from
And to where you go
It all seems like someone else has a problem
And kill all of your kind
(Chorus)

So Far Gone
04:08
|
|||
|
If you feel totally void
And afraid of opening your heart
Tell yourself
Remember when
You used to beg someone to let you in
Fading with the memories of
The good that slipped through the cracks
They fell so fast
And left no tracks
So no one ever gets it back
(Chorus)
So far gone
It never seemed like youth
Could hold a light to the wisdom
That comes from a just little break
The hurt keeps us awake
Storming through the open door
They all could see that you had that glow
But they didn’t know
There’s so much to work for
But none to show
We’ll be what we will
(Chorus)
So far gone
It’s a never ending road
We all roll on
Would you think less of anyone about to see
What they’re wishing for
Is nothing more than mere sand
Fading with the memories of
The good that slipped through the cracks
They fell so fast
And left no tracks
So no one ever gets it back

New Day
04:55
|
|||
|
I woke today and thought of something new
I wasn't going to look any more for you
But I see some one who
Looks like you
And I turn away
(Chorus)
And that is my New Day
And that is my New Day
We're all alone, but we're all O.K.
It's part of my New Day
(Bridge)
Do you remember feeling so proud?
Life with one swipe knocks it all down
(Chorus)

Keep It Hidden
04:39
|
|||
|
One by one the soles they meet the road
Sound sends the CREATURES hiding
Diminutive dots of light fill the sky
Exhaled clouds still linger as he's running by
Headlights could only mean a frigid breeze
He wants to move to another country
Or maybe cut off all his hair
It seems there was always something to tempt his eye
Split down the middle with multiplicity and just getting by
A never ending attempt at compromise
He lived his life without delay
Impulsive, devoid of concept you might say
He's good to go with the faces
Better stop once to face the reflective glass
He was never held from his motions
I do believe that's what will kill a man
The camouflage cat retreats with his tongue
So he keeps it deep inside
Who has the right to twist the truth just to open doors
Inevitably, mankind's motive shows
It seems that the more that I gaze into your eyes
Your words fall meaningless, mistaken for your reply
A silver trace of thought undeniably heard
Tears for a nation at sea in this world
Are we too far gone?
Would you look at all the mess on your TV screen
Killing one another for something to do
Killing one another for the money too
How much difference can I make?
I do believe it's the question on all our minds
Push off on the clicker and it goes away
