Your wishes return unread Lose the faith you used to make sense Your wishes return unread You placed a bad bet, you said, you said From this point forward I am starting my use of no words I swore silence And my silence I will keep Move it back toward A beginning when no was no word To build a scene upon Your wishes return unread Lose the faith you used to make sense "Go on, Your Wrong" I'll move along Take it down to the fireside burn it up burn it down Fought with me far too long burn it up burn it down I don't need it Your wishes return unread Lose the faith you used to make sense "Go on, You're Wrong" I'll move along

I creep, I crawl I'm a fly upon the wall I breathe so small If I move I break and fall My wings, won't fly They don't move with any try I think tonight I'll be crippled from the inside But I'll break free And you know you far too certain now When there's nothing behind the curtain Don't wait Tomorrow Ill see the other side of me I can barely believe the other side of things that i swore I knew But I was the one who couldn't come through I leave my peace On a wall marked do not read If I should die I'll have it locked on the inside But I’ll break free And you know it’s far too certain Don’t wait Tomorrow I’ll see The other side of me I can barely believe The other side of things That you swore were true And I was the one who said I need you Just say its too cloudy for a walk (tonight) Just say its too loud for me to talk (tonight) And I battle in the same fight (who comes first) No two wins for the same side (who comes first) Don’t wait Tomorrow I’ll See The other side of me I can barely believe The other side of things That we swore were through But I was the one who said I'd save you

Science 05:18
You go your own way and I'll go mine You'll see yourself out, and into the next house with an open door policy You run look for shelter I will hide I prefer the silence, that comes with this science And it's still brand new to me No you're not the first one No you won't be last To think it's all but funny You look through a half empty glass But I can't bring myself to look through this down periscope It's overcome with the water It drowns out my point of view And so I look to you You bring it back to me Don't begin to imagine A life from the point of view That you are unable to soothe me, move me You go where you look what will you find? I'd bet it's the same thing, you say "I ain't needing" An unnecessary trip to Me I'll stay in my lab I'll be fine I got one to look out for And I'm not so positive anymore that this fabric can be ripped through Listen here to many respond to one or two making enemies with those who aim to bury you

The only soul who writes home Cause he aint got nobody to hold his lonely hand at night When he picks up the phone She's Saying the rules have changed and she's not coming home tonight Is it alright if you lose it from yourself? You'll wait and they'll prey Walking these streets they say That's it easy, I'll believe it when you back up everything you say Lonely nobody knows until they're watching you You dare not leave a clue They'll take everything along the way Force you out of hiding Take the time you're biding To make the big escape It's alright if you pick it from the shelf You'll wait They'll prey You'll wait They'll prey Walking these streets they say That it's easy, and I'll believe it when you Back up everything you say Making my peace I'll say that I need to Well I won't leave until you repair everything along the way

Wake up, it came earlier and earlier Each night that we stayed up Speaking of things we don’t know In only time could we take up the right words that we heard If they allow us to break up False transmissions of love We might set this free But I’m not waiting You don’t know You don’t say I was so brave I am the one who walks over the name That you don’t know for me Wake up, it came earlier and earlier Each night that we stayed up To carve our shapes into the sheets that we shared In the bed that we made up Only to tear it down again We’ll shake up the rules we made up To fake this love But I like where this is going And I’m not waiting I am one who walks over the name that you You don’t know You don’t say I was so brave I am the one who looks over the name That you don’t know for me
