Captains Log 01:17
Sell me all your faith I could use something to believe the drugs just didn’t take will you let me inside of your machine? we could chug along the open sea you could be the captain and I could scribe your memory Or I could borrow your baton And I would lead this parade and you could follow the notes along up and down my staff as we spin in figure eights

I tried to leave the city burning down But I never thought you’d still be around I'm sorry but I cannot stay Its been so long now to hesitate my bags are packed with my lips shut tight I never could say what was wrong or right but nothing should bleed from the start so I'm keeping this so far from the heart But if we rebuild they’ll all know our names they would paint us in the sky with airplanes but what’s high up in the sky keeps on falling down faster and faster to the ground so come all ye faithful come stand and rest those knees and keep your head up keep your head up around me cause I've been sinning just like everyone only love the barrel of my own gun but I could never shoot to kill I just run, run, run but if we rebuild they’ll all know our names they would paint us in the sky with aeroplanes but whats high up in the sky keeps on falling down faster and faster to the ground

Ant Hill 03:09
Its seems that I have lost myself in this anthill on a shelf and I've been digging holes with my teeth so I climbed up to the top just so I could see the drop down to the crowded streets and I'm sure the people are nice down there but they don’t bother coming up for air unless there’s a chance of rain so I wouldn’t let myself break down for an otherwise unwilling crowd I will just stay up here for days cause this is the deepest hole I've dug to try and bury what I have loved but I still cant hide it away so I'll just keep on tunneling until I say the right things no matter how deep I dig my grave and iv tried bottled therapy sleeping beauties lying next to me but I wake up and its all the same I've already flushed my money down and she didn’t even wait around long enough for me to complain so I decided I would move around to all of the countries I had found where nobody would place a blame but they’re all just to busy with their own wars and their politics and everywhere I went it still rained cause this is the deepest hole I’ve dug to try and bury what I have loved but I still cant hide it away so I'll just keep on tunneling until I say the right things no matter how deep I dig my grave

Airplane 02:17
I woke up in an alley underage I saw how lonely zombies past their days and I swore id put all of this away but I guess sometimes things change and I saw robots learning to calculate half the time in newspapers half with word games and they dress up like people in their suits they go through therapy in their parachutes So darling you shouldn’t be afraid to die Cause you’d still be beautiful falling through the sky now Id be there to catch you, I cant promise but I can try its up to you its your life All of us are terminal we are all the same and as I wait here for my airplane this hour could go on for days when some of us cant wait to leave but most just wanna stay So darling you shouldn’t be afraid to die Cause you’d still be beautiful falling through the sky now Id be there to catch you, I cant promise but I can try its up to you its your life

If were all made to break then I refuse to mistake anyone around this place to be ahead of the race cause once your all bruised and torn just trying to settle up the score you'll find yourself so helpless someday you thought you know by now where all of these roads would come out but geography could be a tricky game when everywhere you go looks just the same you may never find your way there’s always countries that you cant name when your stuck on those unchecked days on the calendar that hangs up on the walls your trapped in again with your patience growing so thing but healing takes some time my friend you thought you know by now where all of these roads would come out but geography could be a tricky game when everywhere you go looks just the same

I know I could go down for this my words are just like sinking ships no matter how hard I fought there’s always holes that I forgot seems like we’ve been going coast to coast just digging up things from so long ago but once we hit rich someday all this shit could just float away see I've living life in a story book just leaving all the facts here overlooked and my sights were set without debate cause you left me no room to calibrate so I gathered an army to fight my wars while I was still leading all of yours then I was on a stretcher with nothing to stay and that’s when I knew I got carried away We refuse to die where we were born way to close for reform but these big city dreams never get us where we planned when we forget how to love right where we stand So the orders have changed I will set down my guns Cause I have nothing left to prove to anyone I will tear down these walls and these barricades I'll raise up my flag I'm ready to show you my face But I still refused to watch you kneel and follow the words you believed to heal without and proof or evidence from anything of relevance and I lost all my room for tolerance but you preached it still with such diligence that we forgot the bombs flying overhead like everyone we just remember what our savior said We refuse to die where we were born way to close for reform but these big city dreams never get us where we planned when we forget how to love right where we stand
