White Lies 03:20
What will you do son, what will you do? I'm folding my clothes to give them to you You'll wear my masks and you'll carry my chains You've got no reason to complain His forehead the wall to the city His eyes the guardsmen of the river His nose an unclimbable mountain His mouth to make you a believer In the words stuck in his throat His heart so bloody and so remote His lungs the skies from where the hurricanes rise He unbuttons another button on his coat Riding this hurricane High above the ground All of time has led to these tears Falling to the ground We all carry umbrellas For this very moment When it all fades to nothing And leaves us with the torment Of the still thinking human Sat in his chair of bones His ancestors said before him White lies will murder old crows His forehead the wall to the city His eyes the guardsmen of the river His nose an unclimbable mountain His mouth to make you a believer In the words stuck in his throat His heart so bloody and so remote His lungs the skies from where the hurricanes rise He unbuttons another button on his coat What will you do son, what will you do? I'm folding my clothes to give them to you You'll wear my masks and you'll carry my chains You've got no reason to complain

Witness 02:22
Fourteen long nights on the hillside alone I came here amongst you to make myself known Ale rare flowed, scarce meat on old bone It's aye, I failed to prove Bread and beer given by my wary host Six of seven daughters saw none but a ghost Of Maria I was given to boast It's aye, I failed to prove Aye, I failed Hide a lie Her bones they lie Under the roots T'was bakers and brewers who gave me open alms And they who were jury to risen alarms To her limp body I hold in my harm It's aye, I failed to prove Aye, I failed Hide a lie Her bones they lie Under the roots

Murdered in the bedroom A prisoner of chance Red glow of the lava lamp From your uncles and aunts You're always so distant Like a star behind a cloud Relying on your mother's breast 'Cause your father's not around The greatest of the great Any troubled soul can write a song Traces in the garden Looking at the lights From the darkness of the suburbs And the safety of always being right A dream to dream a child's dream The glistening of I We are stood side by side Trying not to cry You told me to be strong That this fear is wrong When I've had enough of this Once again I will just move on The statues and the trees Have practiced standing still Trapped in a reality where nothing's truly real Sing a song and be content To fall is to be free All there's left to do is take off these shoes And wade into this dream The lion's eyes are tired From staring at this mess for way too long

The day before it happened There were strangers in our fields We were consumed by dancing Fluttering remorse Matter's no more Head of cavern caved in Battle without War within Lyre her son plucked Heavy stained hands of such men In great halls he sprawled naked Marble floor cold against his skin Tears love lost flood these galleries vast Until there is no shore Our beloved herd no more Our beloved heard no more
