we are cutthroats we aren't the civil-est of beings
we got the voice of the wind on our shoulders
and in our dreams,
and can you say that you've traveled far
to the lands unseen
the clear and dark,
ruled by futile lords with whispers in their ears
not by the person seen in the mirror
we don't expect any handouts
it would be a waste of time,
mother should I trust the government
when all they do is lie,
i kinda think I wanna burn it all down tonight
everywhere there's treasure
off with their heads,
we live a little more than the already dead
take back your city spark the match inside,
lend an eye to the blind, let's burn it down tonight
night turns day light turns grey,
clouds are intimidating, but they only carry rain
water fills the streets, maybe neck deep
but you will only drown if you fall back asleep

sirens they'll sing me down,
down to sea, down to sleep,
hold me under
sirens they'll sing me down
below the ocean waves, to my grave
sirens they'll sing me down
to the ocean floor, for what I adore
sirens they'll sing me down
beneath the ocean tides,
to rest my eyes
oh no no

a mind like liquid
whispered the wind to the waves,
and goodbye sweet sunrise,
hello slow fade
i could reach it if I wasn't sang to shipwreck,
threw my sacrifices to the rip tide,
and I could keep it if I had a solid shape,
so bring the rains,
and let the flood waters rise
above pacific highway,
view down pass me by,
below your summer sunshine,
shaded by the sky
im poseidon

i stood witness to myself
drift into the cold sun,
sails be burned as charity for blood,
in my veins, in the sea,
carried from ancient waters,
to alters of the high
through the sons and the daughters,
just another broken philosophy
these are the words of where stars are born
and where planets die,
where galaxies collide,
these are the words of where stars return
and where reason abides,
just open up your eyes
reality is not what it seems,
these illusions run deep,
deep to the roots till death itself,
to the clasping of hands when knees have knelt,
to the buzz of the wasp, to the trees that fell,
can you see the screaming, can you hear the bells
through forest and sand,
the moons have fought here,
wisdom escapes the mothers and the fathers,
through liquid and flame,
through the seekers of time,
the call of the wild,
the will of the divine

we are another race
we come from outer space
this is our message to you
interpret as you choose
we are another race
we come from outer space
we don't come in peace
we come for your release
what do you know of the outer reach
a place where rules don't apply to you or me
and i lost my direction on the seven seas
when the new world begins
you'll find my fossils on the beach
and i'll tell you what that means
it means you're over due
the stars are aligned
along with the sun and the moon
you better run and hide
the invasion is near
kiss your mother goodbye
were here to commandeer
what do you know of the inner seas
a valley where dimensions are according to the breeze
like a ripple through your nerves
in war or at peace
i'm still begging for the Earth
to crawl back to me

you wanna talk to me,
i see your lips moving an awful lot,
i just wish i could decipher this mass of jumbled talk,
and what youre gonna say, is what i already know,
i just with i could stuff it right back down your throat
and what you don't know, is i already know, exactly what youll say
youll say youre done with me babe, and walk off the other way
leaving me behind like some kind of stray, all right
just forget it, that was all just yesterday

peel up the floor boards and bar the iron stormdoors, seal up the floodgates, and burn the ancient folklore, tear the pages out the books and never look back to the crooked little smiles that set flame to the shack
welcome to the university of lost at sea, we will not go down quietly, make noise just to listen to it breathe
hey there your majesty we spit upon your floor of absentee
im searching for a needle in a cemented brick wall and i aint got an umbrella for when the sky's fall and dont expect anything serious to come out of my mouth because im sirius im burning down the home and selling the house and if you need a place to meet me its up in the clouds
there is a hidden creek a little ways down from here
exactly where it leads is a little bit unclear
hey you let me tell you the news ive got an ace in my sleeve and in my soul the blues
hey you let me sing you the blues ive got a rock in my shoes and nothing new in my news
