City in the Sky
11:40
|

On and on until I'm satisfied
Chasing after all I'm meant to be
Oh, to hope, a city in the sky
Where the stars will set us free
The artist rushes
To fit her life inside a day
Someday she'll make it
But her breath is short, her light is fading
She's reaching for a future
That dances to her heartbeat
We'll run into the sunrise
We'll run, oh we'll run for Heaven
The lawyer paces
Atop a skyline she forgot
Still reaching upward
When will her restless soul be sated?
They're reaching for a future
That echoes out their names
We'll run into the sunrise
We'll run, oh we'll run for Heaven
High above the mountains, over stormy seas
We cast the stone at gravity, waging war against where we've been
The stars are bright above us, someday we'll be there
We'll climb until night succumbs to day
The nothing breathes in
A spirit battered time again
I'll find a way up
I can't look down, no, nothing left
We're reaching for a future
Where all we've lost is found again
We'll run into the sunrise
We'll run, oh we'll run for Heaven
Oh we'll run for Heaven
High above the mountains, over stormy seas
We cast the stone at gravity, waging war against where we've been
The stars are bright above us, someday we'll be there
We'll climb until night succumbs to day
A Heaven that waits for us to rise
A dream we dreamt a thousand lifetimes
Come now, our victory is nigh
Scream into the clouded skyline
A Heaven that waits for us to rise
A dream we dreamt a thousand lifetimes
Come now, our victory is nigh
Scream into the clouded skyline
On and on until we're satisfied
Chasing after all we're meant to be
Oh, to hope, a city in the sky
Where the stars will set us free
On and on until we're satisfied
Chasing after all we're meant to be
Oh, to hope, a city in the sky
Where the stars will set us free
Where the stars will set us free

Saint

Hear, hear the nothing that heralds his coming again
See all the peasants, with bated breath, for the savior's parade
Here, in a courtyard of twisted horizons and glass
May, may we one day be rid of all the confusion and pain
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
The way that life has always been
The way that life was always meant to be
The holy law engraved in us
To save us from
To save us
Hear ye, all you wanting, the Saint is upon us today
Lay down your palm leaves and dance with me in the rapturous light
The Saint and the City below, a man with a way to appease every demand
"No price is too high," we confess as we wait for a sign to assure Heaven is near
Hear, hear the cleansing that heralds the judgement and death
May, maybe someday, the world will be alright in the eyes of the Saint
The way that life has always been
The way that life was always meant to be
The holy law engraved in us
To save us from the journey in between
The way that life has always been
The way that life was always meant to be
The holy law engraved in us
To save us from
From the unknown
The way that life has always been (Has always been)
The way that life was always meant to be (Always meant to be)
The holy law engraved in us (Engraved in us)
To save us from
From the unknown
Yeah

Evening sky
Stay away
Never one for rest, never could sit still
Nothing to protect, everything to burn
Yeah
Watch the entire world stop and neon light erupt
In a fervent wave to light a fire on us
Done away with rest, addicted by design
I've been here time and again to blast away my mind
Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me swim, just let me drown
Hearing the light, seeing the sound, woah
Get on your feet, endure the beat
Feeding the furnace, feel the heat
I wanna burn, I wanna bleed
Burn till I forget
Burn till I forget
Yeah
And when I've burned it all away
What if I burn it all away?
Yeah
I wanna burn, I wanna bleed
Feeding the furnace, feel the heat
Woah
Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me swim, just let me drown
Hearing the light, seeing the sound
Get on your feet, endure the beat
Feeding the furnace, feel the heat
I wanna burn, I wanna bleed
Burn till I forget
Yeah

Visions indistinct of a simpler time
The Saint dotes upon a life he once lived
Dancing in the mist, an ambition fulfilled
A dark calculus born of a restless soul
An Atlas of our hearts and minds
A chaos of our own design
Woah, woah
I see the future before it begins
See determinate time
Every step yet to take laid before
The immaculate eye
Visions I push away of a more colorful place
Of a town I refuse to believe can haunt me here
Every breath another thread forming the tapestries of fate
I guide the needle with hands rough from clawing at the dirt
An Atlas built to take control
To cleanse the world of wayward souls
See the effects of what's been, and the cause of what's yet to come
Why leave the future to chance when the answer is right in front of us?
See how we've lifted ourselves to the Heavens away from the hell below
So why can I not shake this feeling it's following me, woah
I see the future before it begins
Before it begins, I will be there, woah
See determinate time as the world turns, as the world turns
And it turns, and it turns, and it turns as we try to hold on
Every step we take could be the last
Woah
The eye, the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
The eye
I'm just a man, a man with a scar
Carried over from an era before
So I'll be a Saint, a healer for all
A Vergil to guide them through all that they know
I will see
Demon eye

What If
06:46
|

The streetlights sear my skin as I lie awake
In a maze of heated nights and empty days
Where did you come from? What has led you here?
This place was not made to be entered by choice
Can you see me now?
Can you hear me now?
And what if we, we ran forever, we ran forever?
Can we be free? Can you save me? Can you lift my head again?
And what if we, we ran forever, we ran forever?
Can we be free? Will you save me? Will you someday tell me when?
And what if we
Don't journey, don't leave, don't envy
Don't stay, don't fight, don't watch me
Don't find a way without me
Don't go where I can't see
Don't journey, don't leave, don't envy
Don't stay, don't fight, don't watch me
Don't find a way without me
Don't go where I can't see
And what if we, we ran forever, we ran forever?
Can we be free? Can you save me? Can you lift my head again?
And what if we, we ran forever, we ran forever?
Can we be free? Will you save me? Will you someday tell me when?
And what if we, we ran forever, we ran forever?
Can we be free? Can you save me? Can you lift my head again?
What if we ran forever? (And what if we, we ran forever, we ran forever?)
Can we be free? Will you save me? (Can we be free? Will you save me?)
Will you someday tell me when?

Rain, pouring down on this garden of mine
Tending a sea of kaleidoscope dye
I've, I've lost track of the pedals I've pulled
Now, now my hands have gone numb from the cold
I've held every answer I'll hold
Hello, my darling, I've waited a minute or two to see you again
Maybe you don't have to learn, if only you knew who I was back then
The pedals I lay in have ceded their help, so
I don't know what I should do
So, I will wait for June
Who are you, who am I, who are we?
June, will your summertime sun set me free?
June, I'm enduring the stormiest night
I, I know Heaven's not mine to invite
Why can't you just make it right?
Rain, beating down on this graveyard of mine
Tending a wasteland of my own design
Maybe it's best that the sickness would stay
So, till I paint a new canvas with day
It's best that I just stay away
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Hello, my darling, I've waited a lifetime or two to see you again
Best that my heart won't return, can't bear to be hurt the way I was back then
And since my heart has split in two
I can't give it away to you till June

Fuscia fire in the air, petals far and wide
Feels like we've been here before, here among the trees of life
Here, I've given everything, everything I am
What is left behind for me? Is there anything? Is there anything?
Away, away, away, away
The petals fly another day
When will I find another way?
Woah, woah
Everything I've ever been, everything I'll be
In between each little thing, will I learn to breathe? For me?
When my breath returns to me, will it be the same?
If it flies beside my face, will I see it now? Will I see it now?
Away, away, away, away
The petals fly another day
When will I find another way?
Woah, woah
Will I find a way? Will I find a way someday?
Will I find a way? Will I find a way someday?
Will I find a way? Will I find a way someday?
Will I find a way? Will I find a way someday?
Will I find a way? Will I find a way someday?
Will I find a way? Will I find a way someday?
Will I find a way? Will I find a way someday?
Will I find a way? Will I find a way someday?
Away, away, away, away
The petals fly another day
When will I find another way?
Woah, woah
Away, away, away, away (Away, away, away, away)
The petals fly another day
When will I find another way? (When will I find another way?)
Woah, woah
I'm trapped without the in-between
I've separated from the tree
I'm falling with the summer breeze
Woah, woah

Assessing his canvas again, a painter dries his brow
His masterpiece, an unfinished choir of light
Though inspiration has struck, his paints have just run out
He wanders back to the day he discovered a reason to rhyme
He happened upon a boutique, covered in July
Run by a girl, a traveler who dances on the wind
"What are you seeking, my friend?", she asked with knowing eyes
He said, "I need to find color so I have a place to begin"
She said, "I'm happy to give you what color I have for your endeavor
What's mine is mine to give, at least for today
Maybe I'll have what you need, but surely it won't last forever
Just as summer always gives way to autumn rain"
He recalls that summertime day, almost a year has passed
He shoulders his bag, departing his refuge from the sun
When he arrives at her shop, he finds himself downcast
At a shop rendered bare, a void where the sign had once been hung
"How will I finish it now?" he mutters under his breath
"I'll never see the way it was always meant to be"
She said, "Were the colors I trusted to you not to your content?"
"The paints were wonderful but they were everything to me"
"I'm sorry I have nothing for you, but don't you remember
What's mine is mine to give, not yours to take
The painting you're making might not be quite the one you intended
Know that using the colors the world has to offer to you is not a mistake"
Assessing his canvas again, the painter heaves a sigh
He fails to see how it could be part of something more
The girl who danced on the wind unwilling to say why
She left him there, alone, to what fall would have in store
But the girl didn't owe him a thing, what's hers to give was not his to take, he could
Obsess over what could've been, drown in the showers the world sends his way, or he could
Let go of all that he'd built up inside of his head, the canvas of life is one that is
Painted with every elation and every mistake, the sweetest delight and the sourest pain
Why can I not learn my lesson? Is my soul out of order?
My heart just wants to be buried under the weight
Though I know if I look, I can find a million ways forward
I just stare at a half-painted canvas and drift away

Cathedral
10:33
|

One day after another, I withdraw
They say, "there is a place here, a place where you may speak to him
In a world stained by glass"
A stone sanctuary where the voices deliver their sermons
Righteous in their judgement
See a sinner falling to his knees again
Heretic, burn away to ash
They say, "his authority is all but absolute"
And I feel the weight of
Woah, woah, woah, woah
His words, a mandate to trust him that all that I long for will find me
But darling, why are we still right here?
Woah, woah, woah, woah
See a sinner falling to his knees again
Heretic, burn away to ash
Hear the story of a man who's lost his way
Why can't I turn the page for us?
The Saint and the City below have put on a show of a joyous ascent
He has the world in the palm of his hand, but he clenches his fist nonetheless
He saw the future before it began
I am where I should be
At the altar of fate, on my knees
Just a drop in the sea
Ba-dum-dum-dum-da-dum
The Saint and the City
A nightmare within me
Oh, pride of mine
I wait, I wait, I wait impatiently
I wait, I pray, I wait, I pray
Darling, I have turned the key and let it go
Bitterness blanketing the earth
I have fed the furnace everything I have
Why can't I feel a thing?
Here, in this cathedral, I accept my fate
Hear my hymn echoing
Here, in this cathedral, burning at the pyre
Hear my cry overtake the bells
See a sinner falling to his knees again
Heretic, burn away to ash
Hear the story of a man who's lost his way
Why can't I turn the page?

Tower

The climb is all of me, all I know
The clouds will bow to me, jealous, envy
If there's another way below
I cannot see it now, climbing higher
I won't fall
I won't fall
To my place
Beneath it all
From a tower rising in the sea
Of concrete misery, demon dancing
Watching from his twisted throne, ascendant
I fall before the eye, demon of the light
I won't fall (I won't fall)
I won't fall (I won't fall)
To my place (I won't fall)
Beneath it all
Ah, ah, ah
I won't fall (I won't fall)
I won't fall (I won't fall)
To my place (I won't fall)
Beneath it all

The banners of our conquest fly
A city singing the song of victory
But striving patiently has burned a hole in me
Why fly the flags when the battle's not won?
Come, turn to the sky, souls of the lost
Where can your comfort be found?
The stars cannot wait, wait forever
An unending masquerade, chasing the stars unaligned
Dancing through the night, on our mountains of pride
Running after utopia, driving our sorrows aside
Forging a path to a place we'll never find
Paradise unfallen, behold
A city dancing the dance of revelry
These fools that line the street, never taking heed
But who am I but one of the crowd?
Come, turn to the sky, souls of the lost
Where can your comfort be found?
The stars cannot wait, wait forever
An unending masquerade, chasing the stars unaligned
Dancing through the night, on our mountains of pride
Running after utopia, driving our sorrows aside
Forging a path to a place we'll never find
Starfall, plummet to the present before our eyes
Starfall, illuminate a path to guide us
Starfall, tear the earth asunder, heaven rain
Starfall, paint the sky a shade of wonder
Starfall, plummet to the present before our eyes
Starfall, illuminate a path to guide us
Starfall, tear the earth asunder, heaven rain
Starfall, paint the sky a shade of wonder
An unending masquerade, chasing the stars unaligned
Dancing through the night, on our mountains of pride
Running after utopia, driving our sorrows aside
Forging a path to the void
Starfall, plummet to the present before our eyes
Starfall, illuminate a path to guide us
Starfall, tear the earth asunder, heaven rain
Starfall, paint the sky a shade of wonder
