At The Track 03:08
My heart dreams when I open my eyes Blinded by invisible trials My heart bleeds when I close my mind Chased by hilarious lies You’ve never placed a bigger bet Now you’re lost at the track Of your own device You wage the weary choices And people that you cling to With stakes so high As high as expectations fly (They fly high, they fly high) You can’t drop the pace now Or call it off You run for the finish line Of the race that never stops… You really ought to keep poised Why just lash out meaning to? Riding high on in betweens Fly on expectations that dive All of their voices Ringing inside your head And all those careful choices Won’t make a safer bet You can’t drop the pace now Or call it off You run for the finish line Of the race that never stops…

You talk until i’m blue I don’t know where to turn To reach for air, to reach for truth Even if I poured your soul And made you pay You’d still find a way to say The things that sting, that crush Walk upon tightropes here May as well hang from them While I wade waters wide With knots slack and sly Lose my way Stuck in standby

Let’s get you home It’s about Midnight You’ve had too much Let me scrape you up (from the floor) You’re the best friend I could ask for And now you’re out, You’re out of your mind And they’re coming to get us (And we don’t care ‘cause we’re doing what we should) And now you’re out, And You’re drunk and blind But they can’t find us No, they won’t find us Safe when we sing, And we know that There is no wrong in this Floating around in the dead of night And laugh ourselves to sleep And laugh ourselves to… And now you’re out, You’re out of your mind And they’re coming to get us (And we don’t care 'cause we’re doing what we should) And now you’re out, And You’re drunk and blind But they can’t find us And they won’t know us when they do...

The Hatch 03:44
Why you latch on tight to Thoughts that you don’t like Act and laugh in spite With burning rage With every stare you make The further away it takes The further away it takes you... That smiling mask that kills you Hiding what everybody should see, Face the face that is you Before the hatch opens... Put myself on a plate I’m all you can eat You glare at me like I’m to blame Though you can’t claim to take any other door Than the one you bargained for As it shuts in your shame As it shuts in your shame... That smiling mask that kills you Hiding what everybody should see, Face the face that is you Before the hatch opens...
