The Silver String Lyrics
[Verse 1: Anthony Green]
Who holds the silver string
Lost me to staggered motion
When you run away
Whoever changes shape
Slowing oscillation
I see you there
[Chorus: Anthony Green]
Alternate the day (And anchor)
Scream the last charade and let it be (And sever)
The fragment that anchors it all (Into the wall)
Separate the wave (And anchor)
Drown inside the shade and let it go (And sever)
The vision that anchors it all (Into the wall)
[Verse 2: Anthony Green]
And I'm forgetting everything you said
For you to bounce right back
Pick up right where you left off
When you run away
Whoever choose my place
Showing obsoletion
I see you there
(And how it seemed I should be reborn)
[Chorus: Anthony Green]
Alternate the day (And anchor)
Scream the last charade and let it be (And sever)
The fragment that anchors it all (Into the wall)
Separate the wave (And anchor)
Drown inside the shade and let it go (And sever)
The vision that anchors it all (Into the wall)
[Bridge: Anthony Green]
In the outline there's a test
Where it all gets settled in
There's no structure to my atrophy (Oh)
There's a padlock on the chest
Where it all gets hidden in
There's no pattern to my apathy (Oh)
There's impostors in my atrophy (Oh)
There's no structure to my apathy (Oh)
[Chorus: Anthony Green]
Alternate the day (And anchor)
Scream the last charade and let it be (And sever)
The fragment that anchors it all (Into the wall)
Separate the wave (And anchor)
Drown inside the shade and let it go (And sever)
The vision that anchors it all (Into the wall)
Ideology Is Theft Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Impersonate yourself
It looks all wrong
The mannequin's ascending to another realm
You dance around your worth
You count it out
The fabric tears completely
And disappears
[Pre-Chorus]
Dry your eyes
Tear them open
Peel the lids back on everyone
[Chorus]
And watch it go
Still echoing
Into the space we left between
And I remember when you couldn't stand
Holding onto me
So long
[Verse 2]
I dry off all the ink
In the bright lights
The marquee is defective
It never shines
Impersonate yourself
It looks alright
The mirror cracks completely
In another room
[Bridge]
From where I am there's a different view
You can't compare the reflection
It looks all wrong from a higher point
It never shines when you want it
[Pre-Chorus]
Dry your eyes
Tear them open
Peel the lids back on everyone
[Chorus]
And watch it go
Still echoing
Into the space we left between
And I remember when you couldn't stand
Holding onto me
So long
And watch it go
Still echoing
Into the space we left between
And I remember when you couldn't stand
Holding onto me
So long
Impersonate yourself, it looks all wrong
The mannequin's ascending to another realm
Racing Toward a Red Light Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hear a signal of perjury
The odds are burning above
[Pre-Chorus]
Begin, we've already been that far but it's not coming back
I trust the gates of the lion's den I can say open up to us
Descend on us, we find a pathway to let it go
[Chorus]
Our patience won't be alone
Our actions won't be undone
The answer will be unknown, be unknown
[Verse 2]
The beggar gives up eternity
Shining light through honour
[Pre-Chorus]
Begin, we've already been that far but it's not coming back
Descend on us, we find a pathway to let it go
[Chorus]
Our patience won't be alone
Our actions won't be undone
The answer will be unknown, be unknown
(And you can never go home again)
Our patience won't be alone
Our actions won't be undone
The answer will be unknown, be unknown
(And you'll decide how it's gonna be)
[Bridge]
There's a tension in the way
And it won't be underlined
You can swim into the graves easily as I
There's emotion you could fake
And it won't be in the front line
You can swim into the graves easily as I
[Outro]
And you'll decide how you make it
And you'll decide how it's gonna be
And you'll decide how you make it
And you'll decide how it's gonna be
Second Guesses Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Keep it safe
Stop watch
Is it cold
Have I been dishonest?
Or has, has the weather become the excuse for what I did?
Evening eyes
Visionless
So much more than they hoped for
[Pre-Chorus]
(There's a reason why nothing?)
Search along the dead river
Needle in the hay hounds you out
Nothing you can fall back on
[Chorus]
In the way it felt
I can see it was real
I won't be the only one carrying all the blame
[Verse 2]
Is it gone?
Is it cold to the touch?
Has it been forgotten?
Or has, has the autumn sun been the ghost of what I want?
[Pre-Chorus]
(There's a reason why nothing?)
Search along the dead river
Needle in the hay hounds you out
Nothing you can fall back on
[Chorus]
In the way it felt
I can see it was real
I won't be the only one carrying all the blame
No one could have known
All of our pockets had holes
Sober up and you can see
More than what you wanted
[Bridge]
Time won't lead you anywhere
Move forward into it
I can see the difference
What are you waiting for?
Time won't lead you anywhere
Move forward into it
I can see the difference
What are you waiting for?
[Chorus]
In the way it felt
I can see it was real
I won't be the only one carrying all the blame
No one could have known
All of our pockets had holes
Sober up and you can see
More than what you wanted
Count Back From TEN Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I see the gauging alchemy
Uprooted by the wind
Could you save it all from the opposite until the end again?
When you crawl across the rooftop
Were you let in by the wind
Maybe we could fall from the written word that was never heard
And just end it
[Chorus]
All at once
Never see your face again
As tender as your lover's skin
All at once
Remember where you started from
So sure the day would never come
[Verse 2]
Did you change the weight or symmetry?
It was never meant to be
Did you move it all from the opposite when you went away?
And I wanted more than anything
To be there until the end
Maybe we could last from the second chance to the end again
And just end it
[Chorus]
All at once
Never see your face again
As tender as your lover's skin
All at once
Remember where you started from
So sure the day would never come
[Bridge]
And you'll never find an answer
When you're waiting there alone
And you'll never find a reason
Just end it
[Chorus]
All at once
Never see your face again
As tender as your lover's skin
All at once
Remember where you started from
So sure the day would never come
The Stutter Says a Lot Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Not betraying your angle
Too afar to break a window
Fly up
Concentrating forever
Fly up, we fly
To pretend that you're a victim
[Pre-Chorus]
The stutter says a lot
When I'm reaching out for anything
'Till I can find a way out
[Chorus]
If this is true, I'll do it all again
(The stutter says a lot)
Put it all in the refrain
The action is fake, I'll believe anyway
(What takes now)
That's the part you chose to play
[Verse 2]
You untangle the wavelength
Just to pacify the impulse
Fly up, we fly
Concentrating forever
Fly up
To pretend that you're an expert
[Pre-Chorus]
The stutter says a lot
When I'm reaching out for anything
'Till I can find a way out
[Chorus]
If this is true, I'll do it all again
(The stutter says a lot)
Put it all in the refrain
The action is fake, I'll believe anyway
(What takes now)
That's the part you chose to play
[Bridge]
Fly up, fly, we fly up now
To pretend that you're a victim
Fly, we fly
Just to pacify the impulse
Just to pacify the impulse
[Outro]
(The stutter says a lot)
And if I stay I won't hold you (whoa)
(Wake up to see it)
And if I stay (I won't hold you up)
The Secret Meaning of Freedom Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pretend to be disappointed of the outcome
But secretly everything is how I planned
I never thought you and I would have disclosure
It couldn't be and suddenly it’s ours
[Chorus 1]
I can tell you were
You must be low to find me
They wanted us to be afraid
They wanted us to be afraid
That's what they wanted
I see myself
I see myself
I see exactly what you wanted
[Verse 2]
I never thought that you and I would have this closure
I put it in my head
But it just drifts away
(Way down)
And that’s clouding in the distance
And the [?] miles apart
I never thought that simple was
Easy as it sound
[Chorus 2]
I can tell you were
You must be low to find me
They wanted us to be afraid
They wanted us to be afraid
The day is there to show
That no one is divided by the vision in the snow
(Impersonate yourself)
The day is there to show
That no one is divided by the vision in the snow
You never wanted
[Bridge]
In my mind
A single thread
It holds resentment
The way that it was
Bring you down
Everything you want
Could be the last thing that you need
Never wanted
You never wanted
And I know who you are
And I know why you're afraid
And I know who you are
And I know why you're afraid
I see myself
I see myself
I see exactly what you wanted
Old Friends Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The way divides the victim
I won't ask for your permission
I saw dysfunction in your rhythm
Life just slips away
Pass right through the first incision
Everything we are
[Chorus]
I'll wait till you've forgotten (I see the way you are)
If you get past the words that measure unaffected
Polarized, innocent, make fractions that we know
Quietly effortless just as the summer ends
[Verse 2]
If you could keep the right commitment
And you put all your hope within him
I saw dysfunction in your rhythm
Life just slips away
Pass right through the first incision
Everything we are
[Chorus]
I'll wait till you've forgotten (I see the way you are)
If you get past the words that measure unaffected
Polarized, innocent, make fractions that we know
Quietly effortless just as the summer ends
[Bridge]
It won't be my decision (Don't wait for me)
I didn't ask for your permission (It won't be long)
No way divides the victim (It rips away)
I didn't ask for your permission (It won't be long)
It won't be my decision (Don't wait for me)
I didn't ask for your permission (It won't be long)
No way divides the victim (It rips away)
I didn't ask for your permission
(Now that we, at the end, see the way you tried to help me
Now that it wouldn't work, we connect with something anyway)
Drinking From the Fountain Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fits right in
Know the opposition’s fair
Through your angry glow
Time is running out
Sing for the truest sound
You're gonna get what you wished for
The surface is now
Delete mistakes
I am the last direction
[Pre-Chorus]
I hope you get everything you wanted
Don't allow your silence to have full control
Giving out a lot of information
Drinking from the fountain, everyone gets sick
[Chorus]
If you believe that could have come from me
Then I don't want to have to wait that long
[Verse 2]
Fake it like a man from the first reflection
Break it like a limb
Or wherever you decide
If this is what you want
Keep it like it was from the first reflection
Something that I learned from the hundred times I've tried
Now this is the last direction
[Pre-Chorus]
I hope you get everything you wanted
Don't allow your silence to have full control
Giving out a lot of information
Drinking from the fountain, everyone gets sick
[Chorus]
If you believe that could have come from me
Then I don't want to have to wait that long
Fits right in
Know the opposition's frail
Make the exit sound in a different way
[Bridge]
Know your purpose
Don't be afraid to follow wrong direction
Don’t get confused and follow someone's footsteps
Just know the plank
We all must go off on our own
Know your part, man
Don't be afraid to follow all direction
Don’t get confused and follow someone's footsteps
Just know your place
We all must go off on our own
Know your part, man
Don't be afraid to follow all direction
Don’t get confused and follow someone's footsteps
Just know your place
We all must go off on our own
[Chorus]
If you believe that could have come from me
Then I don't want to have to wait that long
If you believe that could have come from me
Then I don't want to have to wait that long
