Module 04:36
Streaking through the atmosphere Tumbling toward the hemisphere Through the looking glass he leers Only thing that’s clear A plume of smoke to the right A trail of gray there in the sky Thinks on how he chose this life About to crash and die Suddenly a jolt Parachute deployed Suddenly a hope Swing down overjoyed Slowly the fear Starts to embrace him Will this thing float Cannot escape Seconds to wait ‘Til it’s decided A space primate My body is broken We’re falling We’re crashing We’re sinking We’re drowning Years out there in space The cancer how it ate me I'm still alive somehow Andromeda had changed me You know I gotta get back to earth To prove this monkey’s been there You know I gotta get back Not just a test subject Suddenly a jolt Parachute deployed Suddenly a hope Swing down overjoyed Centuries frozen Floating through the stars Weightless nightmare Slowly the fear Starts to embrace him Will this thing float Cannot escape Seconds to wait ‘Til it’s decided A space primate My body is broke A crashing sound booms The module is buried Beneath the waves The storm doesn't scare me All my training Stars and the planets The only thing I forgot Was to learn to swim We’re falling We’re crashing We’re sinking We’re drowning

Face Behind 03:03
Remember what you said to me My fate against your destiny Move over next to me My hands upon your face ‘Til it comes again (Chorus) My face behind it My name beside it Laughing like you like it My face behind it My name beside it Good enough to buy it Change is all it is The thing you wanted it To be and not be missed Your eyes they were all lit up Like a coming train (Chorus)
3.
Circular 04:58
Apparently the heart is a ring I’m really tryin’, I’m really tryin again Seems to me like a radar ping The circle dyin’, the circle dyin’ again I started to feel You not saying nothin’ And then you went and blew out the wheel This won’t end how you wanted it to Keep on running try to forget it I’m not sayin’ that ya gotta be reckless No not like me Keep on thinking you’ve gotta protect it I don’t want to be the one to suggest it You’re not saving anyone (Chorus) I kept wanting to be (I don’t know why I wanted to be) In your little world That’s a marathon for me Full of hurdles There’s no victory (no prize) No flag unfurled Whatever speed we're just Going in circles (Only circles) Apparently your heart needs a ring I’m really tryin’, I’m really tryin’ again Something tells me it doesn’t mean What you’re tellin’, what you’re tellin’ me I’m not denyin’ I’m not denyin’ it But past me you’re flyin’ Past me you’re flyin’ Keep on running ya try to forget it I’m not sayin’ that ya gotta be reckless No not like me Keep on thinking you’ve gotta protect it I don’t want to be the one to suggest it You’re not saving anyone (Chorus) You’re starting to talk to me I’m starting to believe and you don’t have to Communicate with me but I know it will End the way it began with your eyes on me

Marfa 03:47
We ended up out on the side of the road 72 hours wasted driving each other home Engine busted no money and no where else to go Just wait a minute, wait a minute, something's out there Looked out on the hills Started flashing colored lights Noticed other people showed up and they parked nearby We sat there gazing same direction the rest of the night Little bursts of light, little bursts of light (Chorus) Don't leave it up to question We ignore all the rules Don't leave it up to question Don't suffer any fools And then they told me people had waited in the hills Several hours to discover who’s responsible They never found a thing, no man, no props, nothing still And they’re still searching, man they’re still searching (Chorus) Like it or not We're who we’re ‘sposed to be Ready or not There’s time to make that change All your dreams Coming true Just to everyone else out there but you
5.
Daylights 03:37
Possibly You scare the daylights Out of me Constantly thinking That you mean The opposite of Everything Sailing in a sea I can’t navigate (Chorus) If you never tell me why then how could I know? If we went another mile it would be too slow I never thought I’d see the day we’d call it off You never tell me why so how could I know? Could it be That you had forgot Everything we planned to make together And instead you tried to think Of ways you could Sabotage that dream Even so I I can’t believe it Oh I can’t believe it Oh (Chorus) If everything’s so perfect How come it doesn’t feel right? If everything’s so perfect well Well how come it ain’t right? (Chorus)
6.
Paint 04:35
Heavy mind, stolen heart Given time all falls apart Nevermind, put away Stones to cast another day But when we find it was today Don’t ask why we were led astray Something else I meant to say I need you, you hide away Clouded mind and a covered face If you double down you’ll be replaced Bring it up, tear it down (breathe it in, breathe it out) Here’s the red, paint this town Hold it tight or let it go If you want they’ll never know Stay the night or stay alone Give me up, yeah let me know I’d pay the price to end this show Cut the tree don’t let it grow Nowhere else, close us down Come with us or don't come around We stood there, mouths open Not believin’ what was said Too tired to speak Too tired to think Almost fell apart And they came to take us home But we had to escape Breathe it in, breathe it out Here's the red, paint this town I couldn't believe how you spoke to me I wanted to be here, honestly Can you hear what you’re saying? Listen to yourself for me I cannot believe what you’re thinking Why can’t you hear what you’re saying? Honestly Listen to yourself for me I cannot believe what you’re thinking Why can’t you hear what you’re saying?

Up All Night 03:25
Slept until noon today The sun shone on my face Took a while to realize We were still outside Grabbed your boots and clothes Said you had to go Found my jeans and led the way Back up to your place (Chorus) What a night and day Where we can live this way I hope that it can last Like good things from the past Whenever you Say you need me I think I might just go ahead Not hear what you say Slept until two today Your smile shone on my face Only took one second to see You beside me Now the last thing I’d expect Is you to come correct And say let’s go again The hard part’s just began (Chorus) What did you say? Up all night And we been drinkin’ Feels all right I hope they listen To what we have To say I don’t think That they can't say We didn’t mean it Up all night And we been drinkin’ Like every night And nothing’s changin’ Whenever you Say you need me I think I might just go ahead Not hear what you say
8.
Say what you want to I’m laughing it up No matter how it looks You're giving 'em over You're wasting my luck Don’t wanna be mistook Go ahead and say it You called it right Go ahead and claim it On the other side (Chorus) Over and over starting again Like a record Lazy friendship ruined them Without a word Pray how you want to I’m staying outside I know the heads will turn You’re giving 'em over You’re wasting my luck However much they earn Go ahead and say it You called it right Go ahead and claim it On the other side (Chorus)
9.
When you said that you would change I didn't think you’d lie You were burning from inside All about my family Friends they did arrive Never knowing for the ride (Chorus) And I think and I think our time is running out And I think and I think it is And I think yeah I think our time is running out Yes I hear yes indeed it is Never thought I’d get the blame I didn't think you’d try But you killed all my alibis They’ll never see that you’re so strange The proof has all run dry You’re some kind of mastermind (Chorus) I’d never been Won’t ever again Return it December Come back again In the new year
10.
Millennial 03:36
Guess what I’m not mad anymore I think not Think I evened the score Take me Take me back to your home Feel that Don’t feel all alone And why not Why can’t we go up north Why can’t we take it Live further up the shore You’d think that With everything that we've done It wouldn't matter The past is gone (Chorus) Not satisfied with going home Wanna get out there we wanna know It’s our turn to have a go Never satisfied with going home We wanna get out there we wanna know It's our turn to have a go Don’t even think about saying no You say We aren’t good enough We think You‘re just talking tough ‘Cos we’ve seen More than most have And we think More ain't all that bad Well try this Well try to add it up We wanna Wanna flip that cup Live life Like it’s the only one That we've got Our hearts weigh a ton (Chorus) We waited long enough For somethin’ comin’ Mmm for somethin’ Kept promisin’ us For somethin’ Kept promisin’ us And nothin’
