Shells 04:30
and so we stumble, across the hills that we have made for ourselves along the shields that once were meaningful but i’ve seen it all again the passing tones, the nature of our sin it’s been so long nothing can be viewed aware of self, now i can see through yeah i know, i know, i know who this is i can’t help thinking bout these faint admissions now we’re drifting close to shore cuz i’m awake tonight and now we just begin and now we just begin, my friend would you go back there? for endless hours spent just biding your time? by consolation, not through memory though? it’s not completely blurred it’s not derived, but naturally occurs it’s been so long nothing can be viewed aware of self, now i can see through yeah i know, i know, i know who this is i can’t help thinking bout these faint admissions now we’re drifting close to shore cuz i’m awake tonight and now we just begin yeah i know, i know, i know who this is i can’t help thinking bout these faint admissions now we’re drifting close to shore cuz i’m awake tonight and now we just begin and now we just begin, my friend

Forever 04:00
you took it all, i took the long way back the nature you can’t decide never the one to question what that means you found yourself by design stepping out once again, but i know you so well (don’t give away your motivations) no surprise, those dead eyes they can never tell (there is no need to feel complacent) just validate me (ooh ooh ooh) (you don’t know) in five years, you’re nothin’ but a lesson i can never find the answer to your question now, now i know (you don’t know) this time i’m coming back to you it’s an illusion where we don’t exist just stuck forever in time you’re all alone within the day-to-day the streets are empty tonight stepping out once again, but i know you so well (don’t give away your motivations) no surprise, those dead eyes i will never let you go will you ever let me know? i am, i am not writing on the wall i will never let you go will you ever let me know? i am, i am not writing on the wall just validate me (ooh ooh ooh) (you don’t know) in five years, you’re nothin’ but a lesson i can never find the answer to your question now, now i know (you don’t know) this time i’m coming back to you

Plaza 04:25
i never meant to block you out you know i didn’t have a say the turning of the circumstance it seems i’ve went and overstayed the details never look the same oh why do i feel like i do ahh you’re not defined by something out of your control just keep on running for the better let the rest unfold tell me everything i know you wouldn’t say i can never figure out why it went this way it stands alone nobody ever knows the solace that it brings to see you back at home the details never look the same oh why do i feel like i do ahh you’re not defined by something out of your control just keep on running for the better let the rest unfold

One More Try 03:34
i’m in the way of i you never really know what to say bout this time clouded but don’t know why appreciate the feeling, but need some time one more try, i know one more try, for sure fighting what i can, never with nothing maybe i will come through so complicated, never related to the things that i do some things you already know i was only fumbling please excuse me, but i don’t know why it is i’m stumbling and i can see one more try, i know one more try, for sure one

Mistaken 03:49
make it everything (ooh-oh-oh) or just throw it all away (ooh-oh-oh) but careful what you say cuz you know the world and find out what you know (ooh-oh-oh) but don't ever let it show (ooh-oh-oh) then find out what you see hope it's third degree, hope it's third degree yeah turn around can't believe what i see never anymore wish that it would change but i think you're mistaken if you think that things are shaping on up on up even after feeling what you did was so revealing i know i know feelin' so betrayed oh you know surprised that it's this way haven't spoke to you but i miss that place maybe there someday, maybe there someday turn around can't believe what i see never anymore wish that it would change but i think you're mistaken if you think that things are shaping on up on up even after feeling what you did was so revealing i know

Anymore 03:22
sifting through the days keeping it in place it's something to be said i'm sure but for now i'll sit and wait go wait i can't stay here anymore i wanna go back, i wanna go back i-i-i i go to the light on the other side and nothing really feels the same i can't stay here anymore i wanna go back, i wanna go back watering it down take it as it sounds exaggerations feed the mind but don't work if you're around memory it fades an open-ended plague break it off the regular move on and place your stakes go wait i can't stay here anymore i wanna go back, i wanna go back i-i-i i go to the light on the other side and nothing really feels the same i can't stay here anymore i wanna go back, i wanna go back
