Forget

You've been too long undercover
time to brush away the clutter
paint it all your favorite color
and bask in the glow
Consequence could come and bite you in the ass
Why does such a good time have to hurt so bad?
That's the price you pay
Searching for the key to unlock all your potential
when you don't know what you think
But what you think you know is only your opinion
Soon as I make up my mind, I'll be all set
Maybe start chipping away at all this debt
Stop regretting things that haven't happened yet
'cause you never know

I saw something new, but no one will believe me
Until it has a name, none of them can see it
Of course I know the water isn't really blue
it's just reflecting the color of the sky
And I know the sky doesn't have a hue either
it's just the way the atmosphere bends the light
It's bending the light
You don't have a clue but you fake it so well

Disposable

It seems you've grown quite accustomed to your lifestyle
You like to think that you own the whole world
But you can't buy your way out this time
You can't buy your way out
Watch your castle crumble all around you
Just because you want more than you can handle
Your obsession weighs you down
You're disposable now
Wanting more
You want to rush your way through the whole process
Another notch on your conquest belt
It will present itself in time
If you'd only let it
Watch your castle crumble all around you
Just because you want more than you can handle
Disposable culture
Blatant disregard for the future
You're disposable
You like to think that you own the whole world

I sorely recall who lost the bet
Though I knew that the cards were stacked against you
Hold on, we're not out of the woods just yet
And the sun's about to set
They'd like us to blindly follow them like sheep
They want us to bow down and believe
Well...
I'll take no part
I won't partake
I will climb the wall
I will prove them all wrong
I will see it through
And make my point to confuse you
I sorely recall who lost the bet
I don't want to have to know what happens next

You just keep sprouting up
You return even though
I dug you right up by the roots
Invasive foliage
I wage an all-out war
You've clearly overstepped the boundary
Can't eradicate you
You're so damn resilient
I tried to smother you
And I tried chemicals
You foil all of my attempts
You just keep sprouting up
You return even though
I dug you right up by the roots
Can't eradicate you
You're so damn resilient

Probably Wrong

Nobody's better at missing the point
If you want disappointment, I won't disappoint
Everyday situation, I'm ten steps ahead
Tangle everyone's motives inside of my head
I just assumed that you were only blowing smoke
I thought that I knew the punchline to your joke
You always seemed so disconnected when we spoke
I was probably wrong
Sometimes my mind gets carried away
I imagine scenarios that never could be
and regard them as fate written clear as day
I'm surprised if something else happens to me
I thought that you were only sober when you smoke
I thought that I was the whiskey to your Coke
You always seemed so disconnected when we spoke
I was probably wrong
I thought that it should just all go up in smoke
I hoped that I might prove it all to be a hoax
You always seemed so disconnected when we spoke
I was probably wrong

Trial by Stone

A dying world
A dying race
Imprisoned within themselves
Selfishly clutching his scepter
he implodes on his deathbed
and turns to dust right before their eyes
Two new contenders vie for the title
Slaves haul in the ceremonial stone
Swing their swords at it one by one
With one devastating strike
a smoldering chunk breaks free
The victor proudly assumes his role
They banish the loser and strip his robes
He goes off in search of last remaining ones
Can heal them all with the aligning suns

Dedicate my life's work to my memory of her
precious Agnes, sweet sixteen
Left me at the altar, never love another
One cannot replace a queen
And I will operate in only darkness
I never want to have to see the sunlight
And I won't ever tell you how I did it
I'd rather let my secrets all die with me
I specialize in doing that which they say can't be done
Take a look at all that I've accomplished on my own
First I lift the stone and then I try and lift it higher
It's easy if you know how but learning will require
Better understanding of gravity and levers
Magnet repels just as much as it attracts
There's much that they've yet let to learn
Ten-ton stone will guard the castle
but with just one little push and it'll turn

I suspend my own safety for your ruin
We have the right to know the scope of what you're doing
Gone astray, you were only meant to serve the greater good
Never face the music, though I wish you would
Camera's rolling
Pay 'em off/Shut 'em up
Everybody's gonna take your side
Smile wide
Hush money
Hush money
You never face the music, but I wish you would

Long ago the monster would hunt here
Seldom few could withstand the power of it
At the time it seemed it would never weaken
But like all things it finally fell
Time will never heal them all
Even as it forms the scabs, it's tearing them open again
The answers are incomplete - loose ends you'll never tie
The questions are obsolete
Fossils speak more truth than the present
But you weren't paying attention, were you?
Looked the other way at a crucial moment
And somehow missed the action as it unfolded
Now you're trying to piece it together
But the puzzle's missing some pieces
Should have kept at least one eye on the target
Should have kept at least one eye on

It Won't Stop
02:47

I can't wait for you to be blindsided
It'll hit when you least expect
Dive-bombing out of the blue
Like a story that could never be true
It will envelop, it will engulf, entirely
No! It won't stop!
Your best bet is to just accept it
A warm welcome as it explodes
There's no hope of getting out of the way
The kind of fury that can never be tamed
It will envelop, it will engulf, entirely
No! It won't stop!
We are ancient
clinging to ideals the world forgot
I keep hoping for a return to form
And I know I'm not alone

Another Olympus Mons
