For forty days and forty nights I searched the desert sand, unable to find it again
When I looked down, I saw my name scorched across the earth to remind them that I was here first
Call the fire chief, a man who never lied
Never made it to the other side
When it was run straight through
Without finding the courage to
Rid the world of all its troubles
It would be easy if you feed me
And I beat the frozen face of
The one who lost the race
And now I'm trying to find the words again
Without mending the upended
Throw out the bathwater, and replace it with the sands of our broken land
I got all the time in the world to wait for it to come
Fell under satellite
Your three score and ten are up, so don't be lying on the ground
They're knocking at your door
Call the fire chief, a man who never lied
Became of a victim of his false pride
When I heard it through the ground
Lost my courage but then I found
A way to give you full disclosure
Listless discourse given time enough
Attend a meet and greet
Of the unseen lesser race
And now I'm trying to find the words again
Without mending the upended
Throw out the bathwater, and replace it with the sands of our broken land
Pour the water boys, pour it on his head
It's much too hot to be lying with the dead
Pour the water boys, pour it on his head
Pour the water boys, his face all red
Call the fire chief, a man who never lied
Never made it to the other side
When I heard it through the ground
Lost my courage but then I found
Rid the world of all its troubles
It would be easy if you feed me
And let's greet the frozen face
With a knife and a can of mace
And now I'm trying to find the words again
Without mending the upended
Throw out the bathwater, and replace it with the sands of our broken land

Time is on our side
So go make good on what you had promised
Pour me another
We’re near the end of the line
But here it comes 'round one more time
Got to find it again
Fell down and lost all feeling
But I don’t want you to get excited
Trying to ring in my head
Fired with no severance
In my own mess is where I’ll stay for now
Skies from overseas have been replaced by the cold dead water
It's sink or swim, so watch out
It's coming ‘round again
Got to try it again
Fell down and lost all feeling
But I don’t want you to get excited
Trying to ring in my head
Fired with no severance
In my own mess is where I’ll stay
Where I'll lay
Got to try it again
Fell down and lost all feeling
But I don’t want you to get excited
Trying to ring in my head
Fired with no severance
In my own mess is where I’ll stay for now

Blazing sun and barrels heed the call to
Search for words while shakers scream, bleed, and bend
Fill the pits with fire
And the fearless land drops to its knees
Surrender, say please
I watched the two
Decide to see each other off
Escaped unharmed
With nothing less than a bad cough
Put feed in the trough
From tip to tail they say the desert makes you run
Pay with what you’ve brought
You’re not leaving till you tell me what you’ve done
I can’t stop the motion
But he said he won't go
Aboriginal scenes from movie screens
Hats off to the thought of you turning green
He’s been stitched inside
I’m brought in to take care of this place
Wipe that look off your face
You’ve been marked down
Signed another to condemn
The corpse they found
Belonged to neither one of them
Got a lot to give
You’re gonna violate no matter what you do
Lost a place to live
There’s next to nothing to lie about to you
I can’t stop the motion
At will, on time
We practice now to save a loss
A course to find
A better friend will reduce the cost
Good luck finding out what you'd like to know
I can’t stop the motion
But he said he won't go

I’m calling out for a way to determine the end
Brand new equations and a system for being
Hard-wired changes to the way that we reckon
Numbers and spaces are nothing but fleeting lies
Preordained ranges calculate all my comforts
Unlikely answers set a mode for rebellion
Logarithmic amputation gets me all agitated
Letting nature grind away
The core, the mind, entrap, unwind, reboot, reshape, encase, confine
Explore my mind, reveal in kind the type of lie that I want it to be
Just tell me to open up my eyes
Let me gaze upon the blood and sand
Life's fighting, fighting for everything
The walls that keep us so civilized
They say it’s better than spitting it out
The time is now, as the sun sets blood red
Omens in the sky: we may not be coming back
Pack just what you need, and put a weapon on your back
Take nothing of value, we won’t need it again
The core, the mind, entrap, unwind, reboot, reshape, encase, confine
Explore my mind, reveal in kind the type of lie that I want it to be
Just tell me to open up my eyes
Let me gaze upon the blood and sand
Life's fighting, fighting for everything
The walls that keep us so civilized
They say it’s better than spitting it out

Traveling a path to reach desire
Feeding the diversions we create
Breathing as a wind that will expire
Stopping will insist to hesitate
Looking for some form of stimulation
Drifting through the atmosphere I lie
Searching for a source of inspiration
Thinking will cause everything to die
Even through the mind
It’s still hard to find
Thoughts unbound, unwound, unravel
Turning black the sky
If we never remain blind
But then why have we not shined?
Feeling a sensation overcome me
Wanting is the root of all one’s pain
Trying to forget that nothing stays free
Understanding what I have to gain
Finding a location to surrender
Throbbing causes losses in control
Touching only spots that are too tender
Knowing that will often take its toll
Even through the mind
It’s still hard to find
Thoughts unbound, unwound, unravel
Turning black the sky
If we never remain blind
But then why have we not shined?
A brief revelation is seldom unheard
For limitless choices, it’s rather absurd
Inside it’s half-empty, outside it’s half-full
If you’ll be the target, I’ll push for a pull
A sense of contentment is all it requires
No wondrous people pray as he conspires
Although it’s completed, one question still stares:
If you’re to continue, will you be found there?

Would you believe it if I told you we had tried?
No insisting we were forced to take a side
I don’t know if it was right that we were wrong
But I guess you would have been here all along
Don’t act like the fool gave you a sign
What you need to know: it’s only your own line
Collecting items that may help you in your quest
Is in reality a small part of the test
Well, I think we’ve spent enough time with this loon
So you should probably be leaving fairly soon
We won’t remain here any longer than we need
Idle chatter drains the “oneness” of its speed
Just be assured that you may not be all alone
Whatever happens will remain more shut than sewn
Don’t be alarmed if one of them begins to shout
But fight it nightly; you’ll be better off without
Go on, take off, make the most of it
Wings up, stretched out, take a hold of it
Fly through, full force, and you’ll find that our lies were meant to conceal
Say nothing of this small bet
Its harm will not harm you yet
I wouldn’t go seek the past
If only we’d made it last
But now that you’ve made it through
I know the things you could do
Don’t say a word, I’ll show you anything one could desire
You’ve found the sword that guards the truth from prying eyes
Though I’ll admit it’s thinly veiled in its disguise
Behold the power that the weapon has in store
It’s not the first time she’s sent people to the floor
See it! Hear it! Feel it! Breathe it! Taste it! Know it!
Think it! Hold it! Sense it! Take it! Use it! Live it!
I wish you well in your endeavors
When in doubt
Things thin out
Let them shout
Be without
Opposed broader intentions would state our assault
But of course they can’t measure the cause
Enforced logical answers won’t sway to our fault
Fasting falls in with the path
And when follies and landslides enslave all in hand
A postpartum redemption’s in store
Instead stormy conditions will fall on the land
Filling faster than our math
A post-nautic adventure awaits us to dash
Although charging off-handed with jaws
But most starlight can hinder the wake of the crash
Fending often with a hand
An organic completion would seem too ideal
And the waters ahead would just roar
The full ark would find solace in a shade of light teal
Forcing ours to take a stand
Even wheels can fill the night
When the stars begin their flight
Hard enough to gauge their sight
If the carpet’s eggshell white
Never fail to find the rest
Feeling anxious in the nest
But there’s no way to retest
Whether she is at her best
All the ships upon the sea
Will not find it hard to be
Living life vicariously
Looking through the eyes of me
People overall will fly
Taking off into the sky
Ever rising up so high
Unintentionally, there was I
