I want to be a canopy of luscious green oh maybe one day I can be a casualty of empathy Postdiluvian, don't ask me for a thing Homoiousian but the devil makes three I'm running I'm running I'm running as fast as I I'm running I'm running I'm running as fast as I I'm running I'm running I'm running as fast as I can Four corner dwelling Where trust was fostered Blood bound at the altar You do what I tell you to Postdiluvian, don't ask me for a thing Homoiousian but the devil makes three I'm running I'm running I'm running as fast as I I'm running I'm running I'm running as fast as I I'm running I'm running I'm running as fast as I can I'm running I'm running I'm running as fast as I I'm running I'm running I'm running as fast as I I'm running I'm running I'm running as fast as I can Postdiluvian, don't ask me for a thing Homouosian but the devil makes three I'm running I'm running I'm running as fast as I I'm running I'm running I'm running as fast as I I'm running I'm running I'm running as fast as I can
2.	Keep Running 03:18	lyrics	buy track
(Running, keep on running, keep on running...) This ain't the last time baby I'll go running around See the rain don't faze me I take it pound for pound I kept from fading away To keep my boots on the ground I made too many mistakes To be away from it now This ain't the last time baby I'll be running around See the lights don't faze me I want my kids to be proud T h i s a in ' t the l a st t ime ba by I'l l go r un ning aro u nd S e e the r ai n d on't p ha s e m e I ta ke it p o und for p o un d I kept from fading away! To keep my boots on the ground There was pretense for change Not good enough, burn it down This ain't the last time baby
3.	Wake Up In The Evening 03:41	lyrics	buy track
Away I swim under the brazen olive tree To the center of the earth where an angel waits for me Having dinner with a prophet and a beast I declined the invite, I came here to leave I came here to leave I came here to leave I came here to leave I wake up in the evening (evening evening) When everyone's still sleeping (sleeping sleeping) There's no waiting till the weekend (weekend weekend) When the drug's already peaking (peaking peaking) Pass the wine I think I'll have another drink To pass the time another similarity you and I share together I hope this nightmare lasts forever Baby, baby so kind yet so cruel it is to be you Oh in the middle of the heaven where the light envelops the clouds Baby, baby I want you to know that I did what I could But what's a little old man like me gonna do for the world? So I wake up In the evening When everyone's still sleeping And I sit down and I close my eyes and I sit down and I visualize and I sit down and I close my eyes and I sit down and I.... I wake up in the evening (evening evening) When everyone's still sleeping (sleeping sleeping) There's no waiting till the weekend (weekend weekend) When the drug's already peaking (peaking peaking) I wake up in the evening (evening evening) When everyone's still sleeping (sleeping sleeping) There's no waiting till the weekend (weekend weekend) When the drug's already peaking (peaking peaking) I wake up in the evening When everyone's still sleeping There's no waiting till the weekend When the drug's already peaking peaking Peaking
4.	Rage Rage Rage 02:52	lyrics	buy track
It can be done What you're asking I've heard it's painless, I'm sure it's quick I’ll place my neck on the finish line This may be one race I can win and I'll fade to black Smoke hangs in the air, the curtain's closed. The band's still playing but the crowd's gone home Take your pretty pictures, they all look the same I couldn't do it, so, all I see is shame You should know by now There's no other side The verdant elysium burned In that harsh twilight of eternal life but still we fight Don't you die today, my friend Don't you, don't you die today It means nothing, I know, I know, I know I know, I know I know, I know Your useless passion is cherished by someone By someone Your dying ember can still rage Can still rage Oh how little we know, you know I know you know, I know, you know I know Oh how little we know you know I know you know, I know you know I know
5.	The Body 00:58	lyrics	buy track
The body, it shakes in the mirror. The hand, quivers at the trigger The patience, shows itself the door morose, beaten down, and poor the sky, have you heard it's falling? bury it, the profit’s in the coffin the anger no longer justified the reason, giving into pride take your piety, it's turned rotten your god, he will forgotten the body, it shakes in the mirror the hand, quivers at the trigger take your duty with a grain of salt you were dead before you thought, default the body, it shakes in the mirror the hand, quivers at the trigger
6.	On the Ark 06:56	lyrics	buy track
I love the wind when it kisses my cheek I love the rain how it flows with the breeze I love the way that you smile at the waves I’d like to think that we’re open to change pshhh PPSHHHH PSHSHHHHH She, comes to me In dreams, it seems, while I'm awake She's gone She, loves me soo she loves, me not, I can't decide Hold me Like it's the end of the world Show me How it feels to fear Let me shield my soul from burden No I can't fake it, No I can't take it, Can you?
