Rise Rise We felt it taking shape Hint of lightning in our bloodstreams The truth is ringing like a mortar above your street Fell to our knees In the church we all saw in that same dream Sang with the choir and our voices rang out so sweet Home was a warzone in that story But hey at least we know the territory Trying to sift the virtue from the sin We just can’t say when we’ll begin to Rise Up through the killing floor Rise Out of the blood and gore I lit a candle and I held my ground The change was rolling like a storm And not a second too soon A thousand cuts revealing faces You wouldn’t believe were underneath I offer thoughts and prayers, never treat the wound And who among wouldn’t tire Not knowing heroes from crucifiers Could join the chorus of lamenters But will we ever slip the center And Rise Out of the ruined and condemned Rise Not be so poisoned again Rise Rise Rise Rise

Yesterday, tomorrow Just abstract versions of now Why do they make a difference? When now's all we can experience anyhow? Give or take, or borrow There's a choice in how we share No matter where you think you're headed I choose to get you closer to getting there I hear your call You push my buttons I'll come runnin' Wait right there (I wanna get up for you) Wait right there (I wanna meet up with you) Wait right there (I wanna get up for you) Wait right there (I'll make it up to you) You look at me, so impatient I could never take your stares Won't let you down unless you ask me to 'Til then I'm yours to direct me anywheres I hear your call You push my buttons I'll come runnin' Wait right there (I wanna get up for you) Wait right there (I wanna meet up with you) Wait right there (I wanna get up for you) Wait right there (I'll make it up to you)

Tomorrow is coming, it's all I know for sure My mind is going, my life is a blur Each time I recognize it's always the first I don't remember if this time is my worst Tomorrow will be here, or I'll be out of time My features have shriveled, none of them are mine And I'm so scared of losing my mind My friends, my home my, child I've had to leave behind And I'm so scared of losing control My dignity, my self, my body, and my soul Tomorrow is coming, it's all I know for sure My mind is going, my life is a blur Each time I recognize it's always the first I can't remember if this time is my worst Tomorrow will be here, or I'll be out of time My features have shriveled, none of them are mine And I'm so scared of losing my mind My dignity, my home I've had to leave behind And I'm so scared of losing control...

I'm the master of my destiny, the lord of everything I see, No other man can captain the ship on which I sail. It's a rough-and-tumble world we're called upon to stumble through, With frustrating obstacles all along our way, But I'm the master of my destiny... I must always do my best to never let them see me sweat, No matter how hard the morons try to make me lose control, 'Cause I'm the master of my destiny... If one more crackpot lunatic spouts one more brainless sentiment, I swear I'll hunt them down and then rip out their stupid throat, 'Cause dammit I'm the master of my destiny... I'm the master of my destiny, the lord of everything I see, No other man can captain the ship on which I sail.

This wasn't what I signed up for It wasn't written in a vow For rich or poor, in health or sick Lucid thoughts come seldom now Walks hand-in-hand along the Seine Moonlight dancing through your hair How long til such cherished memories join the rest Forgotten, lost, dispersed to who-knows-where? Let me remind you of how much I"ve loved you Every single day since we first met But the time is nigh No turning back, hear what I said You must move on We can't deny what lies ahead Let me remind you of how much I"ve loved you. I see you just can't stay away But the man you're looking for has gone Only this shell of... I forget the word Never mind, it won't be long You remind me of a girl I loved Almost a lifetime ago But time has run I've lost track of what has been I'll bid adieu As I forget all that I've seen You remind me of a girl I loved. I can't remember the girl I loved. ... I can't remember...

I'm so stable feel it every day every obstacle cleared out of the way I'm so stable feel it in my bones nothing can hurt me no sticks and no stones nothing can change my course this ship steams like a horse so strong in every way I tell myself every day I'm so stable no sign of a crack going forward no turning back nothing can change my course this ship runs like a horse so strong in every way I tell myself every day I'm so stable my hands are shaking my mouth is dry the ground is quacking I'm so stable like a man with a fork in a world of soup I'm so stable save places are rare coup d'etats take place terrorists everywhere I'm so stable at the edge of the abyss like a turkey in November ignorance is bliss I'm so stable emotionaly wrecked counting the days until the crisis comes back

Attraction was not taught in school. “Stay in your shell” the only rule. When you commit to someone new It’s the antithesis of cool. Instability, it's underrated Instability, you know it's fated Instability, it's gonna get you Instability, it won't forget you No matter how much you defend Entropy will get you in the end. Come on, covalent bond with me Ignore the heft of entropy Like some magnetic patron saints If left to themselves systems attempt to reach the configuration with the lowest energy possible under a given set of restraints Instability, it's underrated Instability, you know it's fated Instability, it's gonna get you Instability, it won't forget you And even if you start to panic You can't deny the Second Law of Thermodynamics You feel the attraction Gravity Gives you no satisfaction Though my orbit is eccentric The charge between us is still electric Instability, it's underrated Instability, you know it's fated Instability, it's gonna get you Instability, it won't forget you And even if you start to panic You can't deny the Second Law of Thermodynamics
