Tundra 02:24
It's freezing out, near twenty below The rain has long since turned to snow Your face is red and your knuckles white Why'd you have to go and wear shorts tonight? Oh, here we go, so far from home Oh, here we go, so far off the road At the tip, tip, top of the world today The ice is melting from human decay Just sit back, bask in Aurora's glow Your frost bitten toes in the Arctic snow Oh, here we go, so far from home Oh, here we go, so far of the road You're so far off the road

Yeah Right 02:30
You said everything would be fine, yeah right I'm trapped on a train to tomorrow, and I don't think I'm coming home These senseless endeavors always end leading to a god damn dead end I'm sick of this turmoil, this turmoil You said everything would be fine, yeah right You said everything would be fine, you lied I can't take the pressure falling onto my head I'm sick of this turmoil, this turmoil Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh You said everything would be fine, yeah right I'm trapped on a train to tomorrow, and I don't think I'm coming home These senseless endeavors always end leading to a god damn dead end I'm sick of this turmoil, this turmoil You said everything would be fine, yeah right You said everything would be fine, you lied I can't take the pressure falling onto my head I'm sick of this turmoil, this turmoil Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh

Aquifer 03:19
Come with me and find, piece of mind With the aquifers in slow decline They're coming up too fast, then it shows Where it starts and stops, no one really knows They've come to find you while you are asleep They've come to haunt you in your mind and dreams But you don't really give a damn, no, no, no No, you don't really give a damn, do you now? Come inside, and you never really had the time to run and hide You will find, that you never even had the chance to say goodbye Say goodbye The floods are coming fast, the hour has come Leave your town behind, all those places you're from Fall in single file, wear your smile Where it starts and stops, no one really knows They've come to find you while you are asleep They've come to haunt you in your mind and dreams But you don't really give a damn, no, no, no No, you don't really give a damn, do you now? Come inside, and you never really had the time to run and hide You will find, that you never even had the chance to say goodbye Say goodbye

Dujaz 04:45
When you find love, don't let it grow. It will choke you and you'll find yourself sitting ten feet underground When the rain falls, out of clear sky You will realize that you'll find yourself sitting ten feet underground When your heart breaks, let your mind mend It's time to move on, when you find yourself sitting ten feet underground No more dead skin, falling off your face It's to the point now, that you find yourself sitting ten feet underground Ain't nothing here no more You're taking me to the end Don't tell me to let my mind move on Now you're ten feet underground Ain't nothing left for you When you're ten feet underground I see your head keep spinning round I got this medicine for you To keep your head from spinning round When the birds sing, outside your window They'll caress you, until you find yourself sitting ten feet underground Put it in neutral, on the freeway You're in a ditch now, crawling down to be ten feet underground Keep your head high, through these hard times If you don't you might find yourself sitting ten feet underground That perfect smile, with crooked teeth Makes it hard now, you find yourself sitting ten feet underground Ain't nothing here no more You're taking me to the end Don't tell me to let my mind move on Now you're ten feet underground Ain't nothing left for you When you're ten feet underground I see your head keep spinning round I got this medicine for you You're just a black bird flying round Around....you know you just keep spinning round....

Caviar 02:36
You were eating caviar, brand new suit and cheap cigar Is this what you've become? It was just the other day you were in a quick decay This is what you've become You made it to the top from the bottom What a perfect waste, a perfect waste of time And you made it to the top from the bottom What a perfect waste, a perfect waste of time Can you hear me now? It was just the other day, you and I were both the same Is this what you've become? Now you're eating caviar, brand new suits and cheap cigars This is what you've become You made it to the top from the bottom What a perfect waste, a perfect waste of time And you made it to the top from the bottom What a perfect waste, a perfect waste of time

Reckoning 02:36
If you wanna kill me, go ahead and try I'll spinning round, with your feet on the ground Don't try to control me, just let me catch my breath There'll be no more, forest on the floor What'd you expect to find? Glaciers receding at a record rate and time There'll be no turning round, the swelling sea will engulf you whole Swallow you whole, you whole, you whole, you whole, you all Now listen up my children, resources running thin I haven't given up on you, and I don't really want to The temperature is rising, my fever's getting high Can you see your industry, is rewriting our history What'd you expect to find? Glaciers receding at a record rate and time There'll be no turning round, the swelling sea will engulf you whole

If you could call my name, where have you been? If you could call my name, where have you been? I'm right here, waiting for you I'm still right here, waiting for you I seem to be caught in the rain, please let me in Here I am caught in your rain, please let me in I'm right here, waiting for you I'm still right here, waiting for you Please just call my name And it comes crashing down around again And it comes crashing down around my head

There's a man with a plan on the other side Can you look into his eyes and not run away from it all? I bet you could if you tried There's a woman on her back, sudden heart attack There's nothing you can do, she's already gone from us all I wish her the best of luck You try To tell me what I want to hear, but I'm afraid I wasn't listening I'm tired of your conversation You taught me not to live in fear, and I applaud you for doing so Thanks for the education You try You try to waste all our time Go sit in the corner and think about what you've done There's a man with a plan on the other side Can you look into his eyes and not run away from it all?

Offtrack 04:07
Defile all the places that you've been Then come back around and do it once again Devour all the trust of those you love To fill the void inside of you Everything was fine until we got offtrack I'm tugging on the line, hoping to get back Everything was fine until we couldn't get back to the start of it I don't want no part of it It's coming around again It's backwards til the end It's backwards The knots coming down around your throat Pulling tight and now you start to choke And how could it ever come to this? I believe you got your wish Everything was fine until we got offtrack I'm tugging on the line, hoping to get back Everything was fine until we couldn't get back to the start of it I don't want no part of it It's coming around again It's backwards til the end It's backwards I thought you could be the one, to make it alright But the shadows on the sun, falling back to night

The Left 02:57
Falling, falling further off the edge Closed caption comatose Celebrating all our new found trends Self inflating artichokes The left is wasting time, while the right are committing crime Do you really wanna go away, back to the place where you are from? Falling, falling further off the edge Closed caption comatose Celebrating all our new found trends Self inflating artichokes The left is wasting time, while the right are committing crime Do you really wanna go away, back to the place where you are from?

Watcha doing out so damn late? Oh the sun is shining Watcha doing out so damn late? Watcha doing out so damn late? Oh the sun is shining

The Marathon 04:04
Well you got so far to go, be honest You haven't even really been that far down the road, stay on it Take your time, believe You'll be fine Well you got so far to go, be honest You were reaching high when shoulda been reaching low, down on it Take your time, believe You'll be fine There you are floating down the river See the water run, don't let the current pull you down You're out of luck, your soul's outta luck It took you be surprise, and then you realized where to go You don't know where to go Now you know, you got so far to go, be honest You haven't even really been that far down the road Take your time, believe
