Powerless

Well it's so obvious that we're afraid
We feel abandoned here
Lost and ashamed
Another powerless power grab taking over
Another term to amputate
Watch for the eyes of the wicked and the thorn in your side
A finger on the trigger will rock you to sleep at night
Watch for the eyes of the wicked and the thorn in your side
Fall asleep with the TV on and pretend that it's all in your mind
A sugar coated lie, a bitter tongue
A living ladder climb the bottom rung
Another powerless populace living under
Another term we'll have to wait
Watch for the eyes of the wicked and the thorn in your side
A finger on the trigger will rock you to sleep at night
Watch for the eyes of the wicked and the thorn in your side
Fall asleep with the TV on and pretend that it's all in your mind
Because it's all in your mind
It was all in your mind.

My momma told me don't play ball in the house
So we played ball in the house 'cause we weren't allowed
My momma told me don't play ball in the house
So we played ball in the house 'cause we weren't allowed
I used a metaphor to catch your attention for what amounts
to ten seconds of your life
I'm not preaching, not trying to over reach
I'm just trying to understand if there's some common ground
Here in the great unknown
(is it unknown, woah is it unknown)
We still have a ways to go.
(is it unknown, I'm still searching for a home)
We're all in the great unknown
(is it unknown, woah is it unknown)
I'm standing up and I'm singing
(is it unknown, I'm still searching for a home)
Yelling fire in crowded room
We're in a crowded room but the flames are on mute
Yelling fire in crowded room
We're in a crowded room but the flames are on mute
I'm getting ready for a crucial calm before
The storm rages and washes us all out
You feel it burning, I hope that we're all yearning
To run for some cover as the hail pounds down
Here in the great unknown
(is it unknown, woah is it unknown)
We still have a ways to go.
(is it unknown, I'm still searching for a home)
We're all in the great unknown
(is it unknown, woah is it unknown)
I'm standing up and I'm singing
(is it unknown, I'm still searching for a home)
My momma told me don't play ball in the house
So we played ball in the house 'cause we weren't allowed
My momma told me don't play ball in the house
So we played ball in the house 'cause we weren't allowed
I'm getting ready for a crucial calm before
The storm rages and washes us all out
You feel it burning, I hope that we're all yearning
To run for some cover as the hail pounds down
Still have a ways to go
(is it unknown, woah is it unknown)
Here in the great unknown
(is it unknown, I'm still searching for a home)
We still have a ways to go
(is it unknown, woah is it unknown)
I'm standing up and I'm shouting out
(is it unknown, I'm still searching for a home)

Howl

Still waiting for the punchline to this comedy
Lines and metaphor disguise another tragedy
Time is a mile on a road without a sign
Gas on the right, grip the corners tight, and we
Howl another sign of life
Directly in the eye of the moon
Live another lonely night
Waiting for the light to break through
Still asking for a blanket and a spot of tea
Are we better off counting rings inside of trees
Time is a child living off a midwife's milk
Sharp when it cuts, clinging soft as silk, and we
Howl another sign of life
Directly in the eye of the moon
Live another lonely night
Waiting for the light to break through
Are we better off?
Time is a mile on a road without a sign
Howl another sign of life
Directly in the eye of the moon
Live another lonely night
Waiting for the light to break through

Come out of the blind where I always hide
With a look in my eye
It's hard to take the time to ease a worried mind
When the world outside
Becomes the world inside
Are we alone in the universe
or just alone in our head?
So i'm back in the blind where I always hide
Looking you right in the eye
It's hard to take the time to heal a troubled mind
Because the world outside
Became the world inside
Are we alone in the universe
or just alone in our head?
Then my eyes turned red
It was in my head
When my eyes turned red
In the sky I slept
And my eyes turned red
It was in my head
Let my eyes turn red
Are we alone in the universe
or just alone in our head?
Are we alone?

Skyline

How can you sleep at night
with all your dignity intact?
When you turn off the light
what can you feel through your cold sweat?
Is someone looking through my back door smiling?
Is anybody in my mirror listening? (I know its me"
Is someone looking through my back door smiling?
Is anybody in the mirror listening again and again?
Two wrongs won't make us right
Your left is equally dismissive
How can we live a life?
The big reveal, we don't need your permission
Is someone looking through my back door smiling?
Is anybody in my mirror listening? (I know its me"
Is someone looking through my back door smiling?
Is anybody in the mirror listening again and again?

Who kills the spiders in the laundry rooms of buildings?
Who tends to buffalo in Eastern Central Michigan?
My insecurities will further my advances
Who protests peace when all you have to do is...
You know this 'cause you felt the air between us thicken
What I'm missing
Bigger picture
Are we drifters? Rusted fixtures
Are we on our own?
I'll mortgage monsters with a simple satisfaction
I'll posit inference if I just find the time
You know this 'cause you felt the air between us thicken
What I'm missing
Bigger picture
Are we drifters? Rusted fixtures
Are we on our own?
