Track Lyrics
Sassafras Lyrics
[Intro: Mike Hranica]
This is the faith, this is the faith complex
Where all takes is another step so we can then step again
[Breakdown: Mike Hranica]
It's not all about the numbers
It is not all about the numbers
This is the faith, this is the faith complex
[Verse 1: Mike Hranica]
Try not to write another disappointing letter to integrity
Only go faster when you've stopped and thought
Only go slower when you've learned of wisdom
Everything is a question of goodwill
But we're too busy delivering answers with arrogance
Isn't it funny how one's compassion diminishes when his or her own perils rise?
[Breakdown: Mike Hranica]
Perils rise, perils rise
It's not all about the numbers
It's not all about the numbers
[Verse 2: Jeremy DePoyster & Mike Hranica]
What should we ask for?
Who should we look to if all we know is burning bridges?
Don't speak to me like I'm a stranger
Turn your thoughts to the roots
As we've all been caught up in the branches
With roots above and branches below
[Verse 3: Mike Hranica]
Don't run if you don't know your walk
This is the faith complex
Don't run if you don't know your walk
This is the faith complex
This is a memoir to friends persisting
This is the faith complex
Assistant to the Regional Manager Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mike Hranica]
These writings are to those who have weeped
These writings are to those who haven't looked deeply enough into the correct resolution
[Chorus: Mike Hranica]
Wrong again but stronger now, we can face this
Fight life with life
Fight life with life
[Bridge: Jeremy DePoyster]
All glory to the One in existence
Bring upon Your Name, Your grace, Your everything
All glory to the One in existence
Bring upon Your Name, Your grace, Your everything
[Verse 2: Mike Hranica]
Hold hands and stare into the circle
What are we looking at
Rumors and rumors and rumors
Rumors and rumors and rumors
Assembly: disintegration
Rumors and rumors and rumors
Perish, perish, perish, perish
Tombstones serve as mirrors and the graves are infinite
Take a look through the lens and through your eyes
End the partitioning
[Chorus: Mike Hranica]
Wrong again but stronger now, we can face this
Fight life with life
Fight life with life
[Breakdown: Mike Hranica]
Fight life with life, life, oh!
Enemies, we'll go for your throat
Ben Has a Kid Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mike Hranica]
I mean this, I'm not sure if you could say the same
Week after week after week
[Verse 2: Mike Hranica]
Idolatry is wasted reverence, idolatry is the yellow on your teeth
Gasp for the truth you once lived
[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster]
Beyond this world is what is always breathing
Beyond this world is worth dying for
Beyond this world is what is always breathing
Beyond this world is worth dying for
[Verse 3: Mike Hranica]
I remember what you used to claim, what you used to claim
You can't bury conviction with anything
[Breakdown: Mike Hranica]
Our message will grow, our message will grow
No matter the mistakes made with construction
[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster]
Beyond this world is what is always breathing
Beyond this world is worth dying for
Beyond this world is what is always breathing
Beyond this world is worth dying for
[Verse 4: Mike Hranica]
Gasp for the truth you once lived
I pray that stolen glimpses, don't
Subtract from what we've been building
Keep stride persist in our march
Wapakalypse Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mike Hranica]
Dear tomorrow
Find some sensibility
Respond to emotion
Dear politician
Define sagacity
[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster]
One after another
Nobody stands behind the ones they have chosen
One after another
Nobody stands behind the ones they've selected
[Breakdown: Mike Hranica]
Nobody stands behind the nation they've selected
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies
[Verse 2: Mike Hranica]
Mass media, mass pessimism, mass denial
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen
The apathetic force us to persevere
The apathetic, with their backwards priorities
If only the strongest of stone was not necessary
[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster]
One after another
Nobody stands behind the ones they have chosen
One after another
Nobody stands behind the ones they've selected
[Verse 3: Mike Hranica]
Liberation includes failure
Your rebellion is resultless
So be angry at yourself
If only we did not deserve this
[Breakdown: Mike Hranica]
Your rebellion is resultless
So be angry at yourself
Louder Than Thunder Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jeremy DePoyster]
What would it take for things to be quiet?
Quiet like the snow
And I know this isn't much
But I know I could, I could be better
[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster]
I don't think I deserve it;
Selflessness, find your way into my heart
All stars could be brighter
All hearts could be warmer
[Verse 2: Jeremy DePoyster]
What would it take for things to be quiet?
Quiet like the snow
Are we meant to be empty-handed?
I know I could, I could be better
[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster]
I don't think I deserve it;
Selflessness, find your way into my heart
All stars could be brighter
All hearts could be warmer
[Outro: Jeremy DePoyster]
What would it take for things to be quiet?
Find your way into my heart
What would it take for things to be quiet?
Find your way into my heart
What would it take for things to be quiet?
