Modern life, so bleak and cold And on my own (on my own) Penniless, no purpose Except for one (except for one) When the future's not bright I will play thought the night I'll log out of real life into paradise In my virtual disguise I will look for my prize I'll be home with my headset on soon With you Ready Player One I won't quit or be outdone Ready Player One I remember this was fun Now it's getting harder to work it out But nothing else matters, and my time is now I'll see you, friend, when this is all over Virtual life, virtual love No virtual pain (no virtual pain) Can't simulate a real heartbreak It's there for true (in real life too) When the struggle gets real, I'll forget what I feel I can always keep riding my one track mind I won't fall to my knees, I'll just look for my keys I'll be home with my headset on soon With you

Orange ignites an evening cloud. A family history serves to crowd Away a misplaced hint of whimsy. Reaching through the fog again To feel the women and the men Arrive by train, depart by chimney. Keep moving on and on and on or waste away. This is where I’m from. This is where I stand. This is what it takes to turn a people into me. This is where I’m from. This is who I am. This is what is gained by silence stained with bleeding history. More than witness to those crimes So we survived, but then sometimes I start to wonder really did we? Am I something more or less? Nothing pride or shame, I guess, could ever do enough to fix me. Infused with shrapnel of a language left for dead. This is where I’m from. This is where I stand. This is what it takes to turn a people into me. This is where I’m from. This is who I am. This is what is gained by silence stained with bleeding history. Tell the story. Let the story tell the world. This is where I’m from. This is where I stand. This is what it takes to turn a people into me. This is where I’m from. This is who I am. This is what is gained by silence stained with bleeding history. This is where I’m from. This is where I stand. This is what it takes to turn a people into me. This is where I’m from. This is who I am. This is what is gained by silence stained with bleeding history.

One touch You want to rush away Eyes open, nothing left To erase the written fate Tell me Why you stay in my wake Why do I feel you'll stay until There's nothing left to take Searchlights in the distance But they never pierce the gray Would we stay lost all night If you could have your way Whispers that wind around your ear Rhythms that only you can hear You earned all their songs, a how but not a why Laughter seconds before screams Prophets strangling our dreams Blackbirds blotting out the sky One touch It echoes back your name Too much to think about Who's waiting out of frame You arrive on darkest wings You can say what the night will bring Carrion, poisonous things You arrive on darkest wings Car crash in the pouring rain Enginges out on a falling plane You're the chooser of the slain But who will choose for you? Whispers that wind around your ear Rhythms that only you can hear You earned all their songs, a how but not a why Laughter seconds before screams Prophets strangling our dreams Blackbirds blotting out the sky Echoes pounding through your head Futures hide beneath your bed Make them believe, you said no one else will die Highways until your work is done Burdens weighing like a ton Blackbirds blotting out the sky

Staring calmly into oblivion Underneath the floors we’ve been living on Try to convince you of the truth I’ll unveil Just kick off your boots let me tell you this tale Though you call it inhumanity I’ll convince you of my sanity Watch my convictions slowly fall apart I’ll give it all away to stop the beating of his heart I’m falling through Take me away, take me away The pounding of a drum In my ears Can you hear it Can you hear it It’s the spirit It’s the spirit Even this one good thing in my life turned bad And though I speak with reason everybody thinks I’m mad Just an eye it sits and stares at me I wonder just how much an eye can see Underneath the facade of serenity Can it see my fingers tremble when I turn the key Like the lantern illuminate my soul Everything must stay under my control Watch my convictions slowly fall apart I’ll give it all away to stop the beating of his heart I’m falling through Take me away, take me away The pounding of a drum In my ears Can you hear it Can you hear it It’s the spirit It’s the spirit Even this one good thing in my life turned bad And though I speak with reason everybody thinks I’m mad Try to believe it’s not as bad it seems But my mind can’t erase the sound of the screams My convictions slowly fall apart I’ll give it all away to stop the beating of my heart I’m falling through Take me away, take me away The pounding of a drum In my ears Can you hear it Can you hear it It’s the spirit It’s the spirit Even this one good thing in my life turned bad And though I speak with reason everybody thinks I’m mad

A dreary Autumn's day Just west of the sea Beside the Law and Tay You will find me A shelter from the storm Some corrugated iron A bit of chimney pipe A paint pot filled with fire Will keep me warm... Will keep me warm... And The God of All Small Boys is looking down is looking down The God Of All Small Boys is looking down is looking down On me... Listen, you can hear Echoes of a war Our fathers shed their blood There is nothing more That we hold dear... That we hold dear... And The God of All Small Boys is looking down is looking down The God Of All Small Boys is looking down is looking down On me... On me... The God of All Small Boys is looking down is looking down The God Of All Small Boys is looking down is looking down On me... On me... On me... On me...
