Bad Trip 04:42
As the fog hits, we are in the eye of the storm Cobble streets, your bare feet are weathered and worn Dizzy fear washes over you once again On the mend, no reason for you to fear the end We are all ugly, under our skin We all keep the monsters out of our heads We all have the right to fight We might For our sons and our daughters, Mothers and fathers We stand tall We stand tall We stand tall We stand tall Tall grass growing right in front of your eyes It’s all too fast, the dust it clears like a million flies It’s no surprise, the tide is rising once again Feet in the sand, no telling what lies around the bend We are all ugly, under our skin We all keep the monsters out of our heads We all have the right to fight We might For our sons and our daughters, Mothers and fathers We stand tall We stand tall We stand tall We stand tall

On your first day They laughed it up and you’re not alone Someone found your name Engraved on a withered stone on a dead end street I went four days Walking five feet deep in snow And as my feet sank The wolves surrounded me, how their eyes they glow (Woah) how their eyes glow On your first day around the globe I went three weeks In the middle of the ocean Each day came the same As the water threw my boat farther from the shore Do you walk away, or do you run That’s not your game On your first day around the globe I was hoping I, hoping I, I was hoping I, hoping I, I was hoping I, hoping I, I was hoping I, hoping I could Run, run, run, run, Run, run, run, run, Run, On your first day around the globe And I found it odd, The sounds at night, the sounds at night And I found it strange, The hounds they bite, the hounds they bite And I found it odd, You’re up all night, you’re up all night And I found it strange On your first day around the globe Around the globe Around the globe Around the globe

The Vines 04:09
I couldn’t fall fast enough The vines they grew faster, too slow to clutch Begins with envy and ends in lust Starts with measure and ends in none I grew up, it started today It’s not fault you cannot play I’ve known your family since I was nine Best intentions, I love them like mine The walls began crawl and doors began to shut It’s all in your mind, no time to wait for luck Too bright to shine and too weak to fall The pleasure’s all mine and the battle is won I grew up, it started today It’s not fault you cannot play I’ve known your family since I was nine Best intentions, I love them like mine The waterfall keeps nothing the same Rocks that transform keep the humans at bay The palace gates are covered in rust Marble and stone has now turned to dust

Break down the walls of fire Each time you walk spire Blood boils in the sunlight And you know, you know, you know I was born eons ago When the devil’s coat was white as snow His tongue twisted and tangled so And he knows, he knows, he knows You were walking the longest mile Body, mind, and soul alligined You were walking alone from the devil's throne Cold as stone He never kept his ways Tongue split and vacant gaze His crystal ball was a broken maze And it shows, it shows, it shows Cards played, he knows your hand Some stood, some fought, some ran A fleeting feeling as you forget His ways, you leave unscathed You were walking the longest mile Body mind and soul alligined You were walking alone from the devil's throne Cold as stone You were walking the longest mile Body mind and soul alligined You were walking alone from the devil's throne Cold as stone Hours pass and go on for days Water rising, it speaks your name Trees fall, the roots decayed This world, this earth we know

Temperature 05:13
As the temperature drops, she stops thinking about her The moon washes itself across the open water The more you think, the more you wish, the more you wonder And I don’t want to let it go, and I don’t swim for no one And I don’t want to let it go, and I don’t swim for no one She’s wearing six-inch heels, red dress, and purple aviators She only drinks whisky straight I can’t catch up, and even if I did, could I hang on She don’t think so And I don’t want to let it go, and I don’t swim for no one I know, you’re there in soul Your body and your mind is cold I know, you’re there in soul Your body and your mind is cold I know, you’re there in soul Your body and your mind is cold I’m going back to my mind I’m going back to my mind I’m so intertwined I’m so intertwined I’m so intertwined I’m so intertwined As the temperature drops, she stops thinking about her The moon washes itself across the open water The more you think, the more you wish, the more you wonder And I don’t want to let it go, and I don’t swim for no one And I don’t want to let it go, and I don’t swim for no one I won’t give up for nothing, for nothing I won’t give up for nothing, for nothing I won’t give up for nothing, for nothing I won’t give up for nothing, for nothing
