your way with words
will be the the end of you
opposing gravity, you’re falling down again
self destruction caused by your own tongue
projecting ironies from your iron lungs
off balanced smiles
stretching far and wide
falling short of glory
crashing like the tides
extravagant farewells
to my former self
and a heavy set goodbye
this is the last time
i’ll raise these faults aloud
i just want you to be proud
tallest of tails
part between your lips
shooting canon balls
into the strongest of ships
mirror mirror
i am so afraid
dopplegangers threatening to fade
bridges now burn
paths no longer crossed
making up for all time that was lost
extravagant farewells
to my former self
and a heavy set goodbye
this is the last time
i’ll raise these faults aloud
i just want you to be proud

come with me, and you will see the rise of glory
take my hand as we withstand these washing waters
bring me out by ay of the North Gate (by way of the North Gate)
bring me to an uncrossable river (an uncrossable river)
measure a thousand
bring me to my knees
measure a thousand more
Son of Man, have you seen the beauty I've created?
perfect in every way
where the waters only rise, and the leaves never fade
pinch me if i'm dreaming, but i'm already awake
perfection uninterrupted leaves me in a daze
these leaves will never wither, these fruits will always bare
there's healing in the water - such beauty i must share
forever is an understatement; there is no end
these borders are equivalent, we've inherited the wind
Little Bear, Father's coming, so throw away your fear
the most delicate of memories, a utopia so sheer!
feel the sand dance in between your toes
flowers in your hair, raindrops on your nose
how does it feel to be the owner of this all? (to be the owner of this all?)
bring me out by ay of the North Gate (by way of the North Gate)
bring me to an uncrossable river (an uncrossable river)
measure a thousand
bring me to my knees
measure a thousand more
son of man, have you seen the beauty i've created?
perfect in every way
where the waters only rise, and the leaves never fade
pinch me if i'm dreaming, but i'm already awake
perfection uninterrupted leaves me in a daze
these leaves will never wither, these fruits will always bare
there's healing in the water - such beauty i must share
Son of Man have you seen the beauty I've created?
where the waters only rise, and the leaves never fade.

your eyes lack the clemency that brought me here
those whole hearted gestures from so long ago seem to fade with every wasted breathe
why do you dance with hidden tension?
is there something you left to mention?
i'm a mountain to climb, but one day i'll get over myself
a trick i've fallen for multiple times
i'm a mountain to climb, but one day i'll get over myself
oh, one day i'll get over myself
i'm so susceptible
exposed at every angle
your hands lack the tenderness that held me dear
callous hands as rough as your callous heart
they cut like knives sharpened for the occasion
no consistencies - a better mystery
no consistencies, a loss of self
i'm a mountain to climb, but one day i'll get over myself
a trick i've fallen for multiple times
i'm a mountain to climb, but one day i'll get over myself
oh, one day i'll get over myself
i'm so susceptible
exposed at every angle

Hip Hip Hooray

we packed our bags like the rest of 'em
while you stuck it out like the best of 'em
like the winds we rolled far and wide
though like drums we were so hollow inside
we thought we'd find ourselves along the way
instead, we fell off track and went a stray
we lost our path to the narrow gate
we lost our path to the narrow gate
don't worry
i'm on my way
and though i've had bad yesterdays, i still say hip hip hooray
God's gift of breath we celebrate
i'm marching towards a brighter day
my path is lit, now i won't stray
the broken hearted sing hooray
the broken hearted sing hooray
hip hip hooray
so i've been writing s.o.s' in the sand
but no seems to understand
we watched our hope begin to curdle, but we fought on; leaping over hurdles
i'm headed back to where i started
to the home of the heavy hearted
there's no angels guarding the forbidden garden
there's no angels guarding the forbidden garden
we're coming in. we're coming in.
i'm on my way
and though i've had bad yesterdays, i still say hip hip hooray
God's gift of breath we celebrate
i'm marching towards a brighter day
my path is lit, now i won't stray
the broken hearted sing hooray
the broken hearted sing hooray
keep on looking out for your prodigal sons
they're on the way - the battle is won
this war has no enemies
when i look around, all i see is everybody celebrating our victory
today is the day, we sing hip hip hooray.

my last ditch effort is just as pointless as the first
fallen yesterdays call for more antics of the worst
the self supremacists are far too blind to see the sharpened deceit (sharpened deceit)
we bathed our days in mischief, soaked ourselves in sin
our conscience paid the price, despite our hearts of tin
i'm too proud to beg, blood too thick to bleed
but the last thing i need, is for you to leave me
don't leave me.
oh my God
it seems like there's no help in sight
so let's rip open the sky tonight
we're changing like the seasons, and falling like the rain
help me convince myself everything's still the same
as the sun sinks a little lower and i start to sink, too
i lift my eyes to the hill and leave it all to you
constructive criticism only tears me down
hiding in the circumstance
such failure, so profound
surreal symphonies are my only friends
you led the game the whole time, but your score only matters in the end
and now it's over.
oh my God
it seems like there's no help in sight
so let's rip open the sky tonight
we're changing like the seasons, and falling like the rain
help me convince myself everything's still the same
as the sun sinks a little lower and i start to sink, too
i lift my eyes to the hill and leave it all to you
i'm going under, i'm going under fast
how much longer will this last?
i'm going under, i'm going under fast
in due season, this will pass.
