WE are distilled. we are what remains. vestigial. bleached and skeletal. barren and exposed. on an open landscape on a planet returned to the hands of apes. one sprig in the dry soil. there to remind. theres a source unseen. theres water beneath the the ground that feeds the sky we breathe. its where its always been. always. we are distilled. we are what remains. you call this decimated. i call it fighting weight. that which doesnt kill wont always make you stronger still. when is anything ever that simple. we wont completely disappear. at least not yet. if you want out then by all means best of luck you never belonged in here with US. credits

theres no price you want to pay just a price you want paid just an old story with some new stars the older the colder the slower the motor the mouth that mouth is now just a slot for coins thank you for coming back thank you for leaving again just another man another man another plan trying to shout above the crowd trying trying trying to paint heaven trying to paint heaven on a ceiling

Road 03:51
sometimes it seems simple enough one man one road but then you arrive someplace dont recognize a face where did you go wrong somewhere along the way the boy the man the mother the son he leaves a hero but he wont return one fall from the sky with feathers of stone they just slow me now on the road we are on ill make my way slow and not steady ill be the change ill be the change that doesn't take ill be the change that doesnt take place ill be the bullet to pierce the heart of the infidel if youll be the gun there'll be be hell to pay the road to hell is paved

here we are now this time is ours passing hours obedient to the Big Buy save save preparations made for a storm that never came just fade my tv let me down again wont stop yelling wont say any thing punching holes in everything just to fill it all up again with these things

theres a great big pillow in the suburbs the war is on giant rock in the center of the city we can all sleep on you are always looking for the boxes to put it all in in the window over the sink as if theres always a remedy christ of convenience for the parish tract a weekend appearance to sign photos autographs you were always looking for the boxes to put it all in in the window over the sink as if theres always a remedy

Cage 04:52
scent carries the news of the world home to the animals i live alongside creatures of the small cage smaller than my own and whenever it all gets quiet looking out through the kitchen window youre haunted by the murmuring of something better of something else you thought you could build yourself a safe little home as the four walls went up you saw less and less you didn't notice you built yourself a cell i might complain and cry but still i climb inside everybody loves a cage everybody knows loves a cage

Goodbye 04:32
hunker down it might get darker still hunker down sometimes you know it will you said, "it isnt fair." and i said, "i know." they said, "you wont make it home." and you said, "i know." hunker down it might get darker still hunker down sometimes you know it will sometimes you know it will sometimes. goodbye my friend goodbye. no sky to fly into go on ahead, ill be along soon. theres no liftoff and no countdown to... goodbye goodbye my friend goodbye goodbye, goodbye, goodbye goodbye.
