No-Face Man

Leaving the house is such a great task
Taking it minute by year
Doorways
A single shed tear
Outside
Where's the life
Where's the experience
Now how I feel like
No one acknowledges the presence
A regular Charlie No-Face

Don't let me in to who you are
Or we'll have to start from the first square
I will feel of white noise
TV static on my tongue
It burns within
It learns within
Circular don't walk around
Or I'll have to leave you angled
I will be the waves
Electro magnets on my mental
It pulses in
It turns without
Rip up the floorboards and open up the shouts
I've got a feeling that I'm running on doubts
Just another moment and you'll be there
Be around here
Leave your things on the floor, kicking up the spires
I've got a feeling that I'm running off wires
Take my center and do what you like
Or I'll have to send the papers back
I will reach the thoughts
Psychic feelings deluding
It hurts without
It hurts within
As the festival begins the sun takes its break
I've got the feeling that I'm running out of takes
The city comes alive once the day doesn't
The day stays dead
You know you haven't, but you know what you gotta do
I've got the feeling that I'm running from you
Circular don't walk around
Circular don't walk around
The block ain't getting any smoother
And circular don't walk around
I've got a feeling that I'm running on harmonies
I've got a feeling that I'm running on melodies
I've got a feeling that I'm running on rhythms
And I've got a feeling that you're running off track

Another Rat
03:44
|

|
Walking out from the door frame, I leave my bag behind me
And the snow on my eyelashes calls out and reminds me
That the sky has opened up
And the sewers have closed themselves from the bottom up
Another rat has taken its toll on the underground
Another mole has refused to leave the mound
Another rat's left the scene for the outside
And now that it's sunny out it's gone inside to hide
Everywhere I go I see the remains of the ones before me
The beasts have picked them clean and left nothing left for me
Only things left were the scraps of what they wanted to be
And the rats are left feeling empty
Another rat has stopped his line of work
Another mole has broke it from the inside
Another rat's killed another because the other made him hurt
And now he's sitting in a fancy place, with his pride aside
And another rat

To Contrast

Another world for another song
I tell the factories but they've shut their doors
The lingering of a semblance in the air
A cry for support but suddenly no more
Another world for another song
The method behind madness has plotted against its accomplice
The sap off a dead branch drops on my head
And the freedom fighters have released their remembrances
Another song for another world
The days of awakening have paused in their descent
Not many notice the subtle change in atmosphere
And the ones that do are boundless in their dissent
Another song for another world
The forbidden fruit of the soul has been eaten away
Replaced by the gaudy of a young mind
With nothing to say of the horrors of today
The shadow of a symbol has us scared for our own
With the words agreeing with what we've already predicted
And just like that
We've already shunned it
No more false negatives
I'd love to show you the ways I've lived
I'd love to show you all the places I call home
Walk through the alley way and out through the forests gaze
In the silent way
It's my only wish
To be alone with my fairy tale
And I don't know where I've been

The Yelling One
06:00

The late minister, his thoughts echo through the age of birthmarks
It reverberates through the valley of tradition
The yelling one has begun its tirade
On the tip of the iceberg you wait for a silken dream
A dream to take yourself away
The yelling one has begun its call
I take the easy way through time, I've been set up
No belief but a choice was still made
Made to run farther to get to the grave
Artificially extended
No more defects and issues
A clean slate
New beginnings from a wits end
The yelling one has begun its stumble
Shop window gadgets in exchange for a soul
I never wanted to be perfect but it's how it ended up
And the yelling one has begun its slumber

Focus Pull

When I look back on the things I used to say
The memories come back but not the same
Living on the seam between now and another day
And all I've heard is how the flow has lost her name
And oh
I can't seem to center on the things that make me happy
And I never wanted to sacrifice a life for lives ahead
Pull away from the inside, and get a clearer view
The blurriness is only there when I choose to look at you
Focus on the larger picture, the details get in the way
Pull away from the other look and see the other lives today
Focus on the larger picture, the details get in the way
Pull away from the other look and see the other lives today
The revolving door
Stopped in its tracks
And we're all stuck in the middle, but facing backs to backs
Everyone around decided to stay inside from me
And with it will go the entire town
I shifted my gaze
And realized that the path is still hazy
In this distance, between here and now
You see mirages, and they don't stay long
In this distance, between now and then
The ground gives way, and you don't wait long
You told yourself, it wouldn't come to desperation
But now you're here in a cage
In this distance, between you and another being
You think you see their intentions, but you don't take long
And now (you've gone about too slowly now)
I've taken on a different smile (you've gone about too harshly now)
And they (you've gone and judged too quickly now)
Are out of focus to me
Focus on the larger picture, the details get in the way
Pull away from the other look and see the other lives today
Focus on the larger picture, the details get in the way
Pull away from the other look and see the other lives today
Focus on the larger picture, the details get in the way
Pull away from the other look and see the other lives today
Focus on the larger picture, the details get in the way
Pull away from the other look and see the other lives today
Focus on the larger picture, the details get in the way
Pull away from the other look and see the other lives today
