The warning came by the wire and hand it said hold the train boys this is the end I never waited or ever thought the rails would bend pull the engines full stop they’re dead when the coast is clearer and the fire’s out ahead we will search in the dark for the wire and hand
2.
you stood in the wreckage you found the shapes and patterns and comb the remains to raise a cause but under guise there are holes in your defences tampered and in dust oh when the evidence comes out we all stare across and we're a stone's throw out how does it end? we'll know caught in a ransom note you held in your hands tight I look forward to the answer It treads along or so it seems without an end though our hearts form without a splinter of doubt veils it all but the times are gone we all stare across and we're a stone's throw out how does it end? we'll know. caught in a ransom note you held in your hands tight we all stand trial, barely awake it was there in the moment held in place all my crimes have earned their place this fear of the void seldom breaks all the lights turned dark and carried away was there in the moment held in place all my time's been robbed buried away a fear of the void stare straight oh my Sun's burned out and carried away and caught in a ransom held in place when there was time

Bones 03:48
Oh what plagues us now we're crawling out of frame on trial we all uphold nothing for our sake get sorted in and out what makes it end before the last call? they’re holding holding their hostages that fold our cause Our bones weighed down in shells, in numbers filed away and our bones weighed down thin lines and over crowds a ways out Oh what plagues us now we’re rolling out of phase we sold our trials and now we owe nothing they told me but i’ve already lent my hands to another cause and this time by the wayside and it's held to the floor but I kept my faith in a jar by the wolves I swear they don't know where the fire remains but what fire remains below all of us?
4.
Bath Salts 04:10
If I survive they called the rapture we felt no trace it went on and on if there's a blame (the rise and fall) we'll point it after (and on and on) there's no place for our sake that we’ll come back for on and on a constant edge where constants matter and still no place oh our sake that we'll come back for a cause to die for on and on it holds me fuels my legs won't become the others and on the way down they still won't pull us through shield your eyes there's strength in numbers and still no place for our sake that we’ll come back for a cause to die for on and on
5.
our homes and manors all tombs of another time I found us a hole to live down noone expects to find we're all these things then none well our poems and patterns just texts of another time they built us a road to walk down pulling strings til we're all these things that want doubt will you hold tight? we'll find a new name for where souls crowd’s left burning down our faiths no better just out for another dime they bound us in rope and I'll buy in call it off is it obvious at all? doubt will you hold tight? we'll find a new name for where souls crowd this left turn now this whole card house fell burning down arm, fear, cause a needless thought but what thoughts prevail? you won't ever see me along the way there
6.
Dime/Dozen 04:24
the hours and minutes froze in a broken wake and held up by the ropes that we tied down to another a stroke less fateful and these days are no better I told myself this cold black ink well's all run dry Well I should know by now go with grace for a thousand eyes before the embers die and though we make one dime a dozen it's all they ever buy the times I've fled since I should know better but they pierce my focus with eyes like torches, fire and wine Well I should know by now go with grace for a thousand eyes before the embers die and though we make one dime a dozen it's all they ever the hours they turn to days and hold the time it comes in circles we hold on blind, and move in tempos you're just so much colder now, inside
