So we all are growing old and it's getting old
Pressure on our hollow bones and the varicose
Suddenly we decompose but we're not alone, we're home
so we all are growing old...

Maybe we're sealed in silence
Maybe we feel a guidance
Maybe your own devices
Will keep you afraid and cold, but I...
Memorized your smile lines when lips divide
Kept alive your childlike reaction time
We're allowed to expire with ourselves in mind
So we all are growing old...

Put out the fear of silence
Put out the need for guidance
Put out your own devices
And don't be afraid of the cold

And we sing, sing, we sing
And we fight, fight, we fight
And we cry, cry, we cry
And we slide, slide, we slide into delight

We sing
We fight
We cry
We slide, slide, we slide into delight

Maybe we're sealed in silence
Maybe we feel a guidance
Maybe your own devices
Will keep you afraid and cold

Put out the fear of silence
Put out the need for guidance
Put out your own devices
Don't be afraid of the cold
Afraid of the cold
Afraid over time we've got nowhere to go but here...

Time
It's not worth my time
Moonshine
Bleeds into my eyes

I still
Sleep on the right side
Of the white noise
Can't leave the scene behind

Could I be anything you want me to be
And show me the way to be seen

[Chorus]
Do you see yourself in a crowded room?
Do you think I'll snitch? Are you pistol-whipped?
Do you step in line or release the glitch?
Can you fall asleep with a panic switch?

When you see yourself in a crowded room,
Do you think I'll snitch? Are you pistol whipped?
Do you step in line or release the glitch?
Do you think she'll sleep with a panic?

And I'll try to hold on tight tonight.
Pink slip, inviting me inside.
I want to burn skin and brand what once was mine,
But the red news came ripping in to fight.

If I go anywhere that you want me to go,
How do I know you'll still follow?

[Chorus]

I'm waiting and fading and floating away
I'm waiting and fading and floating away
I'm waiting and fading and floating away
I'm waiting and fading and floating away

I'm waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading and flailing and fading

You ask me to be strong again,
Been waiting out here for a while,
At least so we could be the end,
But not likely,

And it's draining,
And it's draining,

You see my shadow coming in,
Dirty sheets pulled to your chin,
Well maybe now we can be kin,
But not likely,

And it's draining,
And it's draining,
We're evading,
And it's draining,

You asked me before,
You asked me to consider all the waiting,
We've been here before,
We've been here the delivery is no good,

We're leaving lord,
A leaving thats where we start repeating,

Dont ask anymore,
Dont ask me the delivery is no good,

And it's draining,
And it's draining,
We're evading,
And it's draining,

And it's draining,
And it's draining.

Do you think I'm sort of alive
Should I set these motives aside
Do I feel well sort of benign
When you walk your body through mine

What's keeping my tongue tied
I see when you roll your eyes
I swear any moment you will hear
My spirit explode

When there's fire on the ground
Should it turn my whole world around
When a wheel's in the lake
Should I think it's a big mistake
When there's smoke in the sky
Please don't wake me I don't know why
When your hand stretches out
Is it way beyond
Way beyond my reach


Do you think it's sort of a crutch
When you try to move me to touch
Do I shake
Well sort of
But not much
When my shades are summoned and crushed

What's keeping my tongue tied
I see when you roll your eyes
I swear any moment you will hear
My spirit explode

When there's fire on the ground
Should it turn my whole world around
When a wheel's in the lake
Should I think it's a big mistake
When there's smoke in the sky
Please don't wake me I don't know why
When your hand stretches out
Is it way beyond
Way beyond my reach

Reach
Keep reaching
For me

Does it make you nervous
When you hear my bones
Animate my body
Without a soul


what's keeping my tongue tied
I see when you roll your eyes
I swear any moment you will hear
My spirit explode

When there's fire on the ground
Should it turn my whole world around
When a wheel's in the lake
Should I think it's a big mistake
When there's smoke in the sky
Please don't wake me I don't know why
When your hand stretches out
Is it way beyond
Way beyond my reach

There's a vulture perching right off screen
And it's bitter and whispers chaotic things
And it reached in quick ain't it worrying
It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, stop listening

I know you've heard it before
But then it wasn't enough
You don't wanna be held back from the substitution
I know you've seen this before
And now enough is too much
You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes
I'm sorry

You're a marionette in the center of
All the twisting strings coming from above
It may seem too deep to recover from
It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, just let it go

I know you've heard it before
But then it wasn't enough
You don't wanna be held back from the substitution
I know you've seen this before
And now enough is too much
You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

When the voices start spinning just be aware
I have brought enough stones for us to share
That one's grinning that one's burning, aim for the throat
Let him choke on the stones that we are to throw

It's the great downfall
Not the overthrow
If you shoot them down
It'll make you soar

When reactions turn into hurricanes
And the middle course seems a little tame
Whether full or empty it's all the same
It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, you're not to blame

I know you've heard it before
But then it wasn't enough
You don't wanna be held back from the substitution
I know you've seen this before
but now enough is too much
You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes
I'm sorry

Follow me
Want to live in a fantasy
Quietly
Show you everything you'll ever need
I hope you'll take it
I know you're faking just a little bit
Come on and taste it
Just get excited cuz you're giving in

Come and see
How the wind in your hair will feel differently
Catch and release
The lure above

Who...

Here we are
In the bathwater hold afloat
Later on
Don't say I didn't tell you so
Maybe I didn't but you're taking it
Knew you were faking just a little bit
Now that you'll taste it
No need to fight it cuz you're giving in

Follow me
Down the streams of sweat on your body
Can't believe
The lure was enough

Do you see?
How the wind in your hair now feels differently
Catch and release
The lure above
Who knows?
How this feeling grows?
Was it truly what -
Truly worth the starting
Who knows?
Why the engine's blown
Was it truly what -
Truly worth the parting

Follow me
Down the streams of sweat on your body
Can't believe
The lure was enough
Do you see?
How in the wind in your hair now feels differently
Catch and release the lure above

Guess the lure was enough [x3]
