Characteristics of Living Things

1.
Time Gone 02:08
Oh my how can it be so many years Why is everything not as it appears? I'm out of my mind... gone So I gather my things and all my friends I'll never go looking back again Time I realize...gone
2.
Quiet Violet 03:58
You and your underwater volcanoes The pressure swelling from the heat in your lungs below I wish you'd tell me what was on your mind These creature saints holding you back and you're wasting time Let it all out Go on and Breathe It's time for the quiet violet to speak Get it all out Go on and bleed It's time we can talk civil you and me You're out of line when you can't let go Your enemies are enemies and they don't even know Oh how would I know so silent Oh where did you go quiet violet Let it all out Go on and Breathe It's time for the quiet violet to speak Get it all out Go on and bleed It's time we can talk civil you and me And the crows take the fire with the flight And the winds take a turn in the full moon light And then all I can hope is the best That we'll soften our hearts put our beasts to rest I wish you'd tell me when you'll come for me I'm on an island and I'm tired of the endless sea around me Let it all out Go on and Breathe It's time for the quiet violet to speak Get it all out Go on and bleed It's time we can talk civil you and me So we fall out And disagree It's time that you got wild enough to speak Get it all out Go on and bleed It's time we take the time... the time And now we find we find The time to lose our minds And while we ride we ride Don't hold back Don't hold back

Thieves 03:49
City fell apart on the telephone While you were telling me we were not alone As we're secretly gonna skip the town All the wanderers, gonna let em' down Get away, get away, get away today Was it you, was it me, are we not afraid? All around, in the rain there was something real planning out the escape, so that I can feel Are we making our way like we're thieves? Are we turning our back on our throne? Tell me something that I can believe While we're fighting for something to show Keep on fighting for something to show Hand me promises of a new machine And replace the grease that we're standing in All the whispering in my head at once Leave me paralyzed in the summer sun Get away, get away, get away today Was it you, was it me, are we not afraid? All around, in the rain there was something real planning out the escape, so that I can feel Are we making our way like we're thieves? Are we turning our back on our throne? Tell me something that I can believe While we're fighting for something to show Keep on fighting for something to show I guess the leaves will go brown When seasons pave the way to shed the nagging sounds Are we making our way like we're thieves? Are we turning our back on our throne? Tell me something that I can believe While we're fighting for something to show Keep on fighting for something to show

Emperors 03:15
We take a turn for the long way Mind on the move and my world shape shifting The weather circling my coffee And I deluge in the rain Heart in tune deep in my Chest The styrofoam peeling off my life vest Aspiring to be a good man And keep afloat like a king Are we not rockstars? Part-time demigods I can be your Emperor Take the leader Make believer Fake the truth, take me down deceiver Wake me up I Fade the montage Lose the scene under camouflage now And up ahead there's a signal A blurry red bouncing off my windshield I keep on fighting like a good man So run with me in the green Are we not rockstars? Part-time demigods I can be your Emperor Slow town, fast cars Abandoned boulevards Operating Emperors on the move Don't you know who we are? Dark lion whisperers Tell me I'm your Emperor

I see you talking while your lips keep on moving while there’s something else on my mind don’t hate me While on my clean white collar I bet you one more dollar deceptively I’ll find you can’t see Saddle up the strong horse looking back no remorse Can’t believe we missed that page ...the wrong stage Read me back that first line say again one more time could it be this war we wage is in my head... Oh so stranded, lost though I’m branded dear friend we’re not aligned (out of time… time) It was a great vibration where the walls between us grew and your expectations were the farthest from the truth I think hurt my body broken without colliding I didn't drink think that much, it pains me. And so you’re educated maybe admit too jaded under the lemon tree you wake me
6.
You closed your eyes, so tired and buried Everyone watching, you're so... alive and weary Of my, outstretching arms, embracing every single change So we perspire, breathe in the marrow Fearless ascending and we float like a sparrow through the Unending skies, and say you'll stay with me tonight It won't be long, til' the day It won't be long until the pain washes way It won't be long, so you say It won't be long until you're right here with me We rode on through that distant passage We never thought that this would cause so much damage Now we're, dreaming of far off fallen cities as we sleep And I woke up, a fallen arrow It's 1:15... your breathing, shallow and narrow In my, fast fading arms, embrace the quiet that you keep It won't be long, til' the day It won't be long until the pain washes way It won't be long, so you say It won't be long until you're wandering with the wind Turn the lights on Find the way home Hold me close while Living things roam Say you want me Breathing haunting Leave the lights on If you can't sleep When I find you In the fields blown Hold me close while Living things roam If you're waiting Leave the lights on for me
7.
If The World 04:04
And so this world is strange told me it'd never change left me in the sorrow burning in the sun Surrounded by the wolves the pounding horses hooves told me not tomorrow faster if you run ... let it go, won't you let it go Here I'm a shaking, now I'll awaken oh… Deep in the slumber, feet buried under tow Now its wonder, I'll get a chance to grow Alley in the night ready for the fight, I made it through something that you said, leaving me for dead, I know it not your fault its true How could I be here, standing in the clear right next to you? right next to you? but If this world would give me shelter, let me live I don't mind it never telling me the truth And If the world would end oh my beloved friend… I'll say its forever with a lie to you
