#1: Freedom
Verse 1
In this crowd of mirrors
Always facing your way
You still try to find direction
In your palms
They’ve taken all your rights
Chorus: Freedom is a lie!
Verse 2
Wave their flags and banners
Forces marching in and out
They will destroy all dissension
With their power
Open up your eyes fool
Chorus: Freedom is a lie!
Break
The dream is dead
We’re just like them
So come with me
Let’s take it back
Ending
Open up your eyes fool…
Freedom is a lie!
#3: I’m Not Insane
Verse 1
Suns are setting
Telling us when to live
Lying face up
You choose the stars to light your way
Light your way
Chorus
Just give up the truth
I’m begging of you
With your hands tied
How can you preach?
Verse 2
I’ve realized I’m melting off my face
Just so I can re-mold it again
I’m lucky the soul is inside
Light my way…
Chorus
Just give up the truth
I’m begging of you
With your hands tied
How can you preach?
Bridge
Despite your reasoning
I’m not insane
Despite your eyes of gray
I’m not insane
Your powers can’t change me
I’m not insane
Their powers can’t change me
I’m not insane
Break
On the shore you drown
Up in the tower you drown
Dead in the sea you float home
Ending
Despite your reasoning
I’m not insane
Despite your eyes of gray
I’m not insane
Your powers can’t change me
I’m not insane
Their powers can’t change me
I’m not insane
#5: Fire
Verse 1
If you don’t believe in fire,
Will you freeze when winter comes?
If you don’t believe you’ll fall,
Will you fly away like birds?
In the…
Chorus
In the sun
Where your day collides with dreams
And the streets are painted gold
Verse 2
Cut the strings above my head
I can fight the world if I want to
What if the critters in your head,
Just live to please themselves?
They don’t believe
In the…
Chorus
In the sun
Where your day collides with dreams
And the streets are painted gold
Break
Your un-joined souls
Meet their differences and
Your system doesn’t revolve
Around what people think of you
Ending
If you don’t believe you’ll fall
Why would you come down?
If you don’t believe in fire
Where would you go to stay warm?
In the sun
#6: Sow A Fiend and Reap A Saint
Verse 1
My heart is bleeding
My pace has slowed
Under control
Peace has broken
Knuckles are scraping
this dirt floor
evidence that I’ve fallen
I have jumped off
my pedestal
now I’ve been tracking mud
Chorus
So now you’ve got your believer
Don’t leave his face in the ground
So now you’ve got your believer
Don’t push him off the edge
Verse 2
An all-seeing eye
has viewed my fall
and is now taking its own steps
Has past graphics programmed his mind
I should have covered my tracks
Please betray me
Stab me in the back
and find your own cliffs to jump from
Chorus
So now you’ve got your believer
Don’t leave his face in the ground
So now you’ve got your believer
Don’t push him off the edge
Break (Part 1)
Come right on in
to the world in his head
Now in the rain
he dances and never falls
Break (Part 2)
Lights will go out
Lights will fail
that illuminate your night
Lights will go out
Lights will fail
All is dead except your seed
Ending
Rejoice (x 5)
He’s not the one you raised him up to be
#8: Fly Away
Verse 1
Coasting down the highway
Lights come and they pass
Who would know its all up
Who would know its over
Cross the flame of rejects
We won’t live to see
Chorus
And fly Away
‘Til I can see no Death
I’ll give you a soul to live for
Not just one to die with
Verse 2
Sleep with one eye open
Gotten all the rest
Falling faster now
When will see the night
Voices calling me
Will I stop to be
Chorus
And Fly away
‘Til I can see no death
I’ll give you a soul to live for
Not just one to die with
Break
Verse 3
Now I’m in the ground
Open and shut
They will come to great
Never knowing the lonely
What am I here for?
What the hell was I here for?
Chorus
And Fly away
‘Til I can see no death
I’ll give you a soul to live for
Not just one to die with
