It's so strange to hear, that voice so clear, you look so high from down here Well I should have known, that I could never grow, you can't move through time that slow Now I've turned around, my feet are on the ground, no one can tear me down, lost and found no one can tear me down, lost and found
2.
The light is blue on another day it's nothing new you would say what can you do but run away the ugly truth gets in your way Get it together, now your time is running out You always were the runaway and all that you have is hell to pay caught in the whirlwind, swept away chasing your tail day to day Get it together, now your time is running out Fallen leaves and frozen dreams litter the ground when we break down and I wonder will you come around Your eyes are closed now you can't receive too hard to see what you won't believe trapped in the maya lost at sea it's just the way you got to be Get it together, now your time is running out

War Cry 06:01
I can't shake this feeling of sorrow I can't see the sun in this shadow fear has invaded our eyes we dance to the beat of the war cry where there's a hunger to feed there is a pain to be soothed no one is safe and no one is free not as long as we choose to sing to dance to The war cry turning away, closing our eyes the war cry we can't find our love, can't bring it alive there's so many things that we don't know so much to see, so far to go the distance between us is nothing if we just stop this before it grows stop this War cry turning away, closing our eyes the war cry we can't find our love, can't bring it alive
4.
The boy's got a gaze of stone he's right beside you but still he is alone his world is a broken song with no place for anyone to belong we gotta draw the line from your heart to mine we gotta pave the way gotta make it happen today so she took a shot and she made her stand and all of her dreams they were in your hand but you couldn't see that fire light you didn't understand what she is inside can't let it go and you can't take it back so use that pain and take it in again we raced the moon but turned around too soon we gotta make it right and take this love through the night
5.
Burnin' 05:10
You once were hidden from the light and now your fire burns too bright the world is slipping thru your hands your candle's burning at both ends You've built this fire on your own but you can't make it all alone we've all been staring for days no one can see thru your blaze You're burnin' You say you've never felt this high I see your river's running dry you're lost in space, tempting fate come down before it's too late You're burnin' (Come down)
6.
White Rabbit 02:29
One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small and the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits and you know you're going to fall tell them a hookah smoking caterpillar has given you the call call Alice when she was just small When the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go and you've just had some kind of mushroom and your mind is moving low Go ask Alice I think she'll know When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead and the white knight is talking backwards and the red queen's off with her head remember what the dormouse said feed your head, feed your head
7.
Over 04:11
You'll never learn the way you're goin' now The day will swallow you whole The gray is turning yellow in your eyes It's your reflection... I taste the question on the tip of your tounge I beg for mercy when it starts to burn Complete surrender in the wake of your love It's my redemption... What have I done I wanted more than this Can you find a way To free me I found the martyr when I found the lie It's only truth when it's in disguise You've got your doubts and you've got your pride It's only fitting... Right before my eyes The hope begins to die but I see what's in my sky All apathy denied Let's start over... Over
8.
The key to the earth is sleeping in the broken hearts of man the riddles of the world are leaping into the palms of our hands the walls that are built up around us make it so hard to hear the ancient voices of love and trust that drive away our fear all those things we need to know mysteries grown through the years answers wait all around us if we'll just try to hear the key to the earth is sleeping it's time to wake it up
9.
Dark Age 09:45
It was a crime of passion and a sleight of hand that left you alone and desperate too weak to make a stand it's a new age dawning and greed is in command it's a dark age rising it's the age we're in we're as high as ever but we're bound to fall and we've got no mercy we've got no love at all no time for compassion in this age of fear it's a dark age coming it's already here coming back to life if you see the light
10.
Come Home 04:26
Well it starts with beer but sooner or later moves to whiskey, A couple more rounds baby I know you won't even miss me, Gonna pour myself a shot 'cause you're all that I've got, I'm so lonely I don't know if I can make it or not, (Chorus) Won't you come home, I need you baby, won't you come home, You've been away too long, and I want you alone, so won't you come home Baby, how could you just leave me here all alone, I've been sittin' right here just waitin' for you since the break of dawn, If you don't answer when I call your phone, I'm gonna find another sugar I can call my own (Chorus) Well I won't post bail if you end up in jail, honey don't call me, No I won't post bail if you end up in jail, baby don't call me, Well you took all my money and you took my car, But honey neither one is gonna get you very far (Chorus x3)
