The Engineer
02:00
|

|
these songs we sing
pull me closer in time
lights glistening
cold sense of the divine
another sky
sheltering
and so refined
the engineer is near
the engineer is near
they'll dance when we die
they'll dance when we die

Toe That Line
02:30
|
|||
|
stationed yet slipping
generous light
appearing all but wicked
buried in blood
sediment rust
such a casual rodeo
you better toe that line
settle your debts
malleable trust
the burden of paradise
full of empty pride
your dreams are blind
and told sweet lies
sentimental eyes

Bottom of the Barrel

we're in an arrested state
please seat yourself, but don't feel obliged
these actions have all been sanctified
they've done all their research
see for yourself and fall in line
you've stalled for the last time
feel it coming in quicker
will you need your arrows tonight
all too common disaster
right before your swollen eyes
is it of substance
is it of substance
is it of substance
is it of substance
is it of substance
is it of substance
is it of substance
is it of substance
sit tight, it's just a matter of time
hold tight, it's just a matter of time
sit tight, it's just a matter of time
don't forget to say your goodbyes

Peel Your Brain
02:46
|
|||
|
peel your brain
we're all just rats in the fire
burning on display
separated ice
melting from the base
such a pretty, pretty place
you've got it all in spades
peel your brain
in the beginning there were five
who's left, is anyone alive?
seems impossible to thrive
it's just you and me left to dine
peel your brain
such a positive disgrace
eroding into place
oh, how the days stall out
peel your brain

Proud Pig Pageantry
04:21
|
|||
|
gather 'round
it's not a mystery
it's the proud pig pageantry
stand your ground
stand another round
you fell down
what;s the matter?

Die Aria
04:08
|
|||
|
desperately collapsing
collectively
they'll bring you to your knees
you're far too young to see
that your too old to be
turning winter into spring
die aria
take a left, take a right
make it wrong, torch the lawn
til' what you have is gone
of your own advice
road to a lonely life
of your own device

The Lone Casualty
08:40
|
|||
|
destined to ride
redemption
gracefully at play
seasoned affections
rife with iron stakes
weakened reflections
precious, precious me
looming suspicion
the lone, lone casualty

checking in
checking it
checking in
pulling in
pulling it
checking yourself to sleep tonight
it's vital, tonight
it's vital, vital
it's vital, vital
vital, it's vital
