Atmosphere 05:30
Atmosphere The curse of time tightens in Most will end as few begin The blood that’s dried, the blood that’s spilled A tainted void that once was filled It’s all around you The pull controls you Wraps us up in all we can’t abide We are the atmosphere Atoms filled with fear We are the atmosphere Atoms filled with fear The days are damaged The evening’s evil We are the atmosphere Atoms filled with fear An ebb and flow that bears a name The force that rules all we became It’s all around you The pull controls you Wraps us up in all we can’t abide We are the atmosphere Atoms filled with fear We are the atmosphere Atoms filled with fear The days are damaged The evening’s evil We are the atmosphere Atoms filled with fear Lost among the stars Lost in satellites Crashing causes fire Burning down The moments and the magic in our time.

Calico Concrete He was a forcer and breaker And nothing ever worked right. It took a little magic, took a little tragic Just to turn off the lights She was a fixer and taker She was never wrong Packed an automatic, Kept it in the attic Waiting for her swan song On a slab of calico concrete On the corner of dumb and blind They built the best house on the whole damn block That would never stand the test of time On calico concrete You can feel the foundation sink In the mud and the blood and the fucked-up love Giving way underneath their feet on dead end street. They were the cruel creators Made a world of cardboard lies Painted it to look like wood grain paneling Right before our eyes We were the fools who believed them Or maybe we just wanted to be Something to live for Something that was more Thank lower class loyalty And if you ever walk past now Tell me what’s still there Is the patchwork prophet making money off The American nightmare?

Steam 04:34
Steam Pulled in all directions Torn limb from limb Putting myself back together Was my greatest sin How can life be carried When the cup’s come apart? Dusty dregs to remember a once-full heart. Chorus: Gone up in steam A not so silent scream Beneath the paint the picture’s dream Is not what it seems. Gone up in steam No one knows the angles Laid to win this game No one sees in what fashion You’re wearing a name. Smiles begin to blister And you pray for the rain Search for faucets of grace to fill you again. Chorus The heat keeps rising like the sun Isn’t this the life you asked for? Isn’t this what you want? Chorus

Red & Green The static and the waves Lift you above ground Decibels divine Another world, you Spent all your life in California, Slept all your life and now you are awake The record breaks. Make your lines Paint the sky In red and green Words and wine Tearing down the freeway So much time Leading you to reach today Singing someone else’s words Living someone else’s time Letting your own dreams turn cold Giving lifeblood for a dime You’ll never do the dance again You have to take a chance again Paint the sky In red and green Words and wine Tearing down the freeway So much time Leading you to reach today And the days go on and on

Butterflies in a Beehive Pinned to the wood & the velvet Under glass of redemption Witness as we come clean Held to a place of perfection They all seek their reflection To learn what it all means The heavens ring Within our wings Like the butterfly Living in the beehive Will our spirits still survive Up against the sting Like the butterfly If we make it out alive Will our spirits still survive Up against the sting Chained in a straitjacket prison Waiting for transformation Straining to become free Sweet- all the poison around us They create to subdue us Rage for all they can’t be. The heavens ring Within our wings Like the butterfly Living in the beehive Will our spirits still survive Up against the sting Like the butterfly If we make it out alive Will our spirits still survive Up against the sting And the swarm will rise upon us now Block the light and crowd our sight We have nothing left to fight it now But we keep on, keep on Reaching toward the sunlight.
