Please Don't 03:37
Where I started I started wrong The line was dotted Hey I signed it all away Please don't knock on my door I've been running this scene Through my pristine mind Please don't knock on my door I've been Running from you for like 15 lives This January, it was temporary madness A morbid blow, oh am I down for the count? Mister referee just called a TKO You won't believe it They think I'm God Are you inspired? They say the devil came down The devil came down And I'm so inspired Please don't knock on my door I've been running this scene through my pristine mind This January, it was temporary madness A morbid blow Am I down down down?

And all around me they're alive and dancing 'round and 'round And all around me there were colors flashing 'round and 'round I turn around and see my brother laughing town after town (2x) And all around me there alive and dancin' 'round and 'round And all around me there were colors laughing 'round and 'round I turn around and see my brother laughing town after town (2x) I've gotta take it in when it's too much But then again it just isn't enough I've gotta take it in when it's too much spin in my eyes If I could only hit a different stride I'd bake in this cake fine
3.
Tell my story so that they'll see I was there and it appeared alien. Picked up where I thought I left it But he came home for me It came circling He came home for me It came circling It shook everything So I try telling me that I'm only seeing things But when you're flying it's hard to tear these legendary seams It's like I'm finding...you're always there my bending engine Bending Engine

Five Alarm 03:45
The genie of distraction is exactly what I've found By no means is she worthless I'm not cursin' her But I've found That a porcelain doll Is a doll that's all Those years were the happiest I was clapping Up had no downs But now I've got to thinking There's a kink in it And that porcelain doll is a doll that's all By now I'm admittin' apparitions are pulling my plow When you're safe in my arms I just know somehow Without you I'd crumble Still a porcelain doll Is a doll that's all

Up this Hill 02:27
Might wanna leave me alone I'm on a mission mission Might wanna leave me alone This life is shapin' me into a heavy rock I roll it up this hill I've gotta carry it home I'm on a mission mission I've gotta carry it home
6.
Well listen I hear mission bells Shut your eyes Your ears will ring Then open them You are a jack of all trades Reasonably extraordinary like an actress we'll pretend Emergency the final scene I'm ready all the time Doo-doo-doota-duh doot-doo It's ok calm down Perfected your prism smile It's funny how your pun intends To create a longer leash Your particles have fornicated with even your wisdom Reasonably extraordinary like an actress We'll pretend It's ok calm down
7.
Red 05:22
You say my will is too strong Is that all it was? Let's pretend there's nothing wrong Raise your hands Waive your guns Is that all you've become? I offered you so much Come in, I've been waiting so long Raise your hands Wave those guns I was the one who embraced you when you were bad They were the one's who chased off all you had We have a crooked soul and that its that Ooh you lost it all It's not coming back

Parachute 03:41
Just see me now I'm traveling closer to the sky Pressure building, then I will free fall Eyes open Eyes closin' This is our time I was hoping that I won't change my mind (Chorus) Before all the evidence was found Our eyes were open I hurl from the airplane at last My parachute open I hurl through the sky (2x) The weaker ones are getting pushed off to the side They say, "they deserve it, them and them alone" Eyes open Eyes closin' "They didn't try." As if it's something you decide (Chorus)

All Eyes 04:35
these sticks and these stones hurt when they're thrown they hurt more than they mean when your swimming upstream when you drown in a daydream I mean I'm in a daydream You can't drown in a daydream It consumed you straight through found her dress in his room you found a ticket to nowhere and this game isn't fair you say, "love is a nightmare" I mean I make it that way you can't live in a nightmare (Chorus) All eyes forward as I'm looking back You're easier to find rain is pouring in the lake of fire You're easier to find these sticks and these stones hurt when they're thrown they hurt more than they mean when you're swimming upstream when you drown in a daydream I mean I'm in a daydream you can't live in a daydream (Chourus) I throw a few things overboard take my paddle and my old canoe I'm gonna see if there is something I can find
11.
bulldog, don't come 'round here anymore pulling on my chain some more But I hear the sound the pitter patter falling in a line I hear the sound the pitter patter won't run dry It's easier when you don't say a word (2x) bulldog, don't come 'round here anymore and I'll lead you now I will not surrender without a fight 'cause I hear the sound the pitter patter won't run dry
