The Tower 03:11
Yeah you! Stay frightened to the bone Curtain call for all who try to leave this zone Orders are to take out anyone who goes Past this sign “Warning! Warning! Exits have been closed.” Yeah, I can hear you – I can see your side I won’t get caught in the riptide Crawl to the top of the world Looking down on the sea of faces below And when the sections of stone start to fall We’re dismantling this Berlin Wall Yeah you! Stay known as “The Unknown” In your head hums a low rumbling drone Don’t allow a hint of emotion to show You’re a soldier – time to let all your feelings go Yeah, I can hear you – I can see your side But on this wrecking ball I’ll ride Crawl to the top of the world Looking down on the sea of faces below And when the sections of stone start to fall We’re dismantling this Berlin Wall (string bridge) Crawl to the top of the world Looking down on the sea of faces below And when the sections of stone start to fall We’re dismantling this Berlin Wall Crawl to the top of the world Looking down on the sea of faces below And when the sections of stone start to fall We’re dismantling this Berlin Wall We’re dismantling this Berlin Wall…

Nine 03:54
(It) Starts with a splash Here and there This could be anything I’ll put on some jazz Get the wheels In my head rolling, yeah Now I’m at peace This work will bleed A part of me I see this canvas Turning red Turning red The wheels are spinning now In my head In my head I feel like this painting tells my pain These colors are all crashing down like rain I could do that in my sleep This doesn’t speak to me You picked up a can Spilled some paint And now ya think you’re deep This art is weak Don’t work for me And it’s so bleak I hear these harsh words I’m turning red Turning red I put my soul into this Now it’s dead Now it’s dead, yeah I feel like this painting tells my pain These colors are all crashing down like rain, rain yeah Feeling, feeling myself fall again Fall again, my love Feeling, feeling myself fall again Fall again, my love…

Planets 04:04
Well, I’m 3 drinks in I had kept my thoughts at bay But it’s around New Year’s Day Yeah, the phone rang loud Was gonna lay my head Picked up the call instead I was overwhelmed By what I heard then And I just heard it again Glad I got to know you We had just become good friends in the fall Look, you made the local news Searching for life on other planets But why ain’t there life here at home? It was our freshman year We were trying to find our way Hanging out on the holiday Just a few drinks in You stumbled on the street But the driver had you beat Families overwhelmed And I’m dressed in gray I don’t know what to say Glad I got to know you We had just become good friends in the fall Look, you made the local news Searching for life on other planets But why ain’t there life here at home? This autograph This autograph Now it’s everything, yeah This autograph This autograph Now it’s everything, yeah Glad I got to know you We had just become good friends in the fall Look, you made the local news Searching for life on other planets But why? Glad I got to know you We had just become good friends in the fall Look, you made the local news Searching for life on other planets But why ain’t there life here at home?

Stay Home 04:37
I remember when I was young Man, it still sounds dumb I was scared Of putting myself out there Take a risk you dare But I won’t Crowd gathers to hear my song Here it comes my poem Ready go! But I’m reaching the chords too slow Now my mind’s been towed And I’m gone But if a small bit of luster Is about all you can muster Then you’re done! Don’t go outside again Stay home, stay home It’s so cozy in this den Stay home, stay home Don’t go outside, outside again I would travel through rain and snow Just to reach my show No one’s there Or open up for some half-baked clowns Booed from town to town Way to go But I’ll just keep doing my thing And it’s bound to sting But I’m a smile Cause I’m seeing a face out there An empathetic stare Good as gold But if a small bit of luster Is about all you can muster Then you’re done! Don’t go outside again Stay home, stay home It’s so cozy in this den Stay home, stay home Don’t go outside, outside again Afraid of your own shadow Spine is soft and hollow Afraid of your own shadow Don’t go outside again Stay home, stay home It’s so cozy in this den Stay home, stay home Don’t go outside, outside again Don’t go outside, outside again Don’t go outside, outside again!

I live up in my head, always So long, sending myself – far away Got a house here on the moon Only for me – sorry no room I roam all the chambers of this place Settle down and focus where there’s space Got a house here on the moon Only for me – sorry no room I rush to this world that I’ve found Take this flag and drive it into the ground Got a house here on the moon Only for me – sorry no room
