Is this the point where we give up?
Now is this the point where we give in?
Now is this the point where we turn ourselves in?
Or is this the time to ask questions?
Or is this the time to seek...
The day I learn to fly, I'm never coming down
On perfect wings I'll rise through the layers of the clouds
And from there I see the neon grids of cities
And six million people that keep their f...
I have my mother's dreams,
I have my father's eyes,
You can't take that from me,
Just go ahead and try.
The crescent city sleeps,
While giants in the sky,
Preparing to unleash,
Let loose a mighty c...
He said "Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid."
I said "That sounds pretty good."

Even though we know, yeah,
We know,
Our time has almost come,
We're all overdue.
Can there be a place to call our own?
Can there be a road that takes us home?
We toe the line (toe the line)...
Do you spend your days counting the hours you're awake?
And when night covers the sky you find yourself doing the same
There's a burden you've been bearing in spite of all your prayers
There's a...
(This is Noyes)
Down beyond these city streets through gutters filled with black debris
In alleys void of any light where nameless things live out of sight
Down through the scrapers of the sky...
With your eyes
Glazed and half-smiled
Explain to me the details
Of your God-given right
You point your finger
In my face but
You can't remember what
You did last night
It's all fun and ...
There, high on the watchtower
Keeping the peace
Whatever that means
cause you see the world through
Crosshairs and TVs, don't you?
Ten foot walls built around us
White picket death
So quie...
This night will fall like any other
Daylight subsides and shadows crawl
Out from under black corners
Hiding something
Stars, all so restless
Cracked windows open wide
Dead-bolt turns doors just cre...
(Jane, he's a freak)
(Well then so am I)
(And we'll always be freaks and we'll never be like other people)
(And you'll never be a freak 'cause you're just ... too perfect)
Late nights and blo...
Suffering from something
We're not sure of
In a world
There is no cure for
These lives we live
Test negative for happiness
Flat line, no pulse, but eyes open
Single file like soldiers on a ...
They turn the lights down low,
In shadows hiding from the world,
Only coming out when it gets cold
The seas part when they hit the floor,
The voices carry on and out the door
And everything ...
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes, all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
They're ...
Far from home on a road unknown
Where the vultures circle on winds that blow
From northern skies that haunt these waking moments
On shadows cast by the mountain range
On calloused soles we find...
Woah, woah.
Bang, bang go the coffin nails, like a breath exhaled,
Then gone forever.
It seems like just yesterday, how did I miss the red flags raised?
Think back to the days we laughed.
We brave...
This time, this time
Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Making Christmas, making Christmas
Is so fine
It's ours this time
And won't the children be surprised
It's ours this time
Making Christma...
Like a new day rising
Like a calm before the storm
Like fog lifting from valleys
On a sleeping forest floor
Eyes open slowly as the dust is shaking off
To gaze upon the wreckage
That the midnight h...
We're not the first, I hope we're not the last
'Cause I know we're all ready for that adult crash
The time is so little, the time belongs to us
Why is everybody in such a fucking rush?
Make do wit...
Fighting back the impulse turn my head and close my eyes
Spending these nights awake and cold and paralyzed
Wonder how we got this far and never realized
The common thread that binds our lives
