When I Was Dead

It's a big opportunity
And it's wearing you out
You're sailing on fake forces
Like you know how
So don't waste what you've got left
It's the here and now
All your eggs are in this basket
So I found out
When I was dead
Yeah I was dead and now alive and
All the things I held in life have vanished
Right before my eyes
When I was dead
I saw the universe in order
With no boundaries and no borders
And nothing ever felt so right
So don't pretend you don't know
About the gravity out-
Side and the world is pulling
Everyone down
But I think you could rise above it
Break free through the clouds
All you have to do is make
Something out if yourself
And while the world keeps turning
I know that in the end
I'll find in my soul that all these
Answers are pretend
Yeah in my death I was enlightened
What I saw there, it had frightened me so I came back to alive
I realized wars are not for fightin, and that men are not for dyin
Letters home and mothers crying
I realized life is not for buying, or for workin 9 to 5 and letting
Money soil my hands
I realized it's the one and only
The only thing I can say honestly is ever worth the time
And while the world keeps turning
I know that in the end
I'll find in my soul that all these
Answers are pretend

Treasures Faded

I've got a problem with my insides (Recount the names!)
They're small and full of enemies that hide (You knew before!)
Murder in six centuries is not (Our way to death!)
The way I wanted to go out (Behind the scenes!)
See, this is what you've waited for
I'm breaking at my seams
A meaningless display of youth
Is this how love should be?
Dictate to make us proper (Consumed again!)
We made and now we prosper (Our tradition!)
Lack of nutrition pushed aside (New advantage!)
Obsession with facades and order (Makes us blinded!)
Throughout the ages and from here
'Till end of time
You never wondered why I never called you
Mine
Into the sun.

Hello, Operator
05:44

She ended our connection
When the receiver clicked tonight
Three hour phone call of silence
Is the way she said goodbye
Laid there with my head on the table
Just to wait a while
If you'd like to make a call please
Hang up and redial
The dial tone sang me to sleep
With each new hour
I'm waiting for you to call again
Again tonight
Hello, operator
I know you've got my best interest
Hello, operator
Please connect me to this world I left
I hear the bittersweet call
When we got the things we wanted
But we lied awake eyes wide
Wondering what if
And I know that you're waiting
And you'll answer me this time
But even if you don't pick up the phone
I'm gonna be alright
Cut the line between this
World and mine you know I
Never wanna hear you say
Hang up the phone because I
Can't go home and live here
On my own
You've gotta say
Hello, operator
Disconnect all the phone lines
And blow up the mainframe

Another One Repeated
06:35

See, all these leaks in
Our hearts have their way
They slip through our fingers
And lead us astray
In a room that she made
In a house with our names
She stays there just to gauge
Our reactions
Over and over again
We sing it but we don't know what it meant
I don't wanna be another one repeated
I don't wanna be another one stuck in your lies
I don't wanna be the face that see when you know that
It's done
When you say you've had enough
I don't wanna be another one defeated
Too much is happening
But I'm already fine
I don't wanna be the thing that you blame
When you stop in your pain
And I've already taken what's mine
Now our spirits
Take hold of our names
They slip through our fingers
And lead us astray
In our youth we found ways
To ignore what they'd made
As we grew we believed
Now we're fragile
No way
I don't need it
I don't need to believe that it's falling apart

With This Award

I step to the stage with
A smile on my face as
You're making me dead
In your heart
A pale limitation is
Worn on your sleeve, such
An awful mess that you've made
With this award for my portrayal
I'd like to thank the academy
And with a bow and a grand applause
I'd like to make you a part of me
Wasted my time on
Your organized crimes which
You plotted to shatter my face
Never say never
A hopeless endeavor
To try and refuse or replace
With this award for my portrayal
I'd like to thank the academy
And with a bow and a grand applause
I'd like to make you a part of me
As crowd erupts and the tv sparks;
You never saved me from anything
Our twisted paths have melted to one
Of shining gold, my prosperity
Finally I got for what I came
A promise you made to me soaked in your name
Tiny pieces fall into place
And I see know how you've
Set this all your way
But I'd like to stay
To see if I could watch you fade
To watch it begin all
The cracks in your skin but
I'd bet that you'd meet me halfway
With this award for my portrayal
I'd like to thank the academy
And with a bow and a grand applause
I'd like to make you a part of me
As crowd erupts and the tv sparks;
You never saved me from anything
Our twisted paths have melted to one
Of shining gold, my prosperity
