Not Alone 02:10
The world may seem cruel and hard The world may even leave you scarred The world may not leave you be The world won't give you the key You feel down, you feel upset, you feel depressed you feel alone You're not alone you're not alone you're not alone you're not alone Just know and please lend your ears Just know what you may not hear Just know, though the skies aren't clear Just know that your friends are here You feel down, you feel upset, you feel depressed you feel alone You're not alone you're not alone you're not alone you're not alone You feel down, you feel upset, you feel depressed you feel alone You're not alone you're not alone you're not alone you're not alone

Take the headphones out turn off the speaker Avoid the collision Try to go outside, put on your sneakers Do not, do not listen As you go through town, see all the people All caught in tradition Take a look at the world, it's so feeble Do not, do not listen Do not listen to your radio Do not listen to your stereo Do not listen, they will know The world is changing. That is so. When you listen you hear the sounds Of all the people in all the towns They're trying but dying They're hurting and fighting And hiding behind their doors Take the headphones out turn off the speaker Avoid the collision Try to go outside, put on your sneakers Do not, do not listen As you go through town, see all the people All caught in tradition Take a look at the world, it's so feeble Do not, do not listen They tell a gruesome tale A tale they shall sell They will profit when you hear They will live off of your tears Despair in the world is how they grow It's all they see and it's all they know The spying, the dying, The hurting and fighting The hiding behind the doors Take the headphones out turn off the speaker Avoid the collision Try to go outside, put on your sneakers Do not, do not listen As you go through town, see all the people All caught in tradition Take a look at the world, it's so feeble Do not, do not listen

Alone 02:23
Empty halls of computer monitors Essential systems running automatically (добро пожаловать на борт "Ляпис") Footsteps echo down well lit corridors No response as I yell (Корректировка курса на шесть градусов) Wandering the halls, so alone I wanted answers, there's no one Robotic voice giving updates It's the only sound (Приготовиться к нулевой гравитации) Out the window is a plane of rocks Far away from here (приход в научное крыло) Wandering the halls, so alone I wanted answers, there's no one Who I am? Where are they? Why am I so alone?
20.
Stillness 02:07
Down in the Lab, an awful still Blood all caked on the floor Faces blue, and bodies thin They're all dead they're all dead On the floor, they're at peace How they lie so still Can I figure this out What happened What happened Some bleed out on the floor Some are dry, How did they die They're all dead they're all dead On the floor, they're at peace How they lie so still They're all dead they're all dead On the floor, they're at peace How they lie so still
21.
Him 02:45
I see his face, cold and still I embrace and start to bawl In my daze Tears run down my face I do not know who he is Why does my heart still ache? In my daze Tears run down my face
22.
The Lab 02:23
I look around I try see Why are they dead? What did they see? Numbers on the screen What do these numbers mean? Encoded maps Of radiation There's figures from the yellow planet Numbers on the screen What do these numbers mean? Diagrams of a hexagon Fill the screen There's a correspondance in code Data to be sent for the team Numbers on the screen What do these numbers mean?
23.
On a monitor Footage from before Look on the screen See what they've seen See what they've done From the eye up above Going through the meta Gathering data Look on the screen See what they've seen See what they've done From the eye up above The man I know jumps up He goes to the wall and grabs a gun Look on the screen See what they've seen See what they've done From the eye up above

The Bells 03:47
Hear the sledges with the bells— Silver bells! What a world of merriment their melody foretells! How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, In the icy air of night! While the stars that oversprinkle All the heavens, seem to twinkle With a crystalline delight; Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the tintinabulation that so musically wells From the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells— From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells. Hear the mellow wedding bells, Golden bells! What a world of happiness their harmony foretells! Through the balmy air of night How they ring out their delight! From the molten-golden notes, And all in tune, What a liquid ditty floats To the turtle-dove that listens, while she gloats On the moon! Oh, from out the sounding cells, What a gush of euphony voluminously wells! How it swells! How it dwells On the Future! how it tells Of the rapture that impels To the swinging and the ringing Of the bells, bells, bells, Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells— To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells! Hear the loud alarum bells— Brazen bells! What tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells! In the startled ear of night How they scream out their affright! Too much horrified to speak, They can only shriek, shriek, Out of tune, In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire, In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire, Leaping higher, higher, higher, With a desperate desire, And a resolute endeavor Now—now to sit or never, By the side of the pale-faced moon. Oh, the bells, bells, bells! What a tale their terror tells Of Despair! How they clang, and clash, and roar! What a horror they outpour On the bosom of the palpitating air! Yet the ear it fully knows, By the twanging, And the clanging, How the danger ebbs and flows; Yet the ear distinctly tells, In the jangling, And the wrangling. How the danger sinks and swells, By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells— Of the bells— Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells— In the clamor and the clangor of the bells! Hear the tolling of the bells— Iron bells! What a world of solemn thought their monody compels! In the silence of the night, How we shiver with affright At the melancholy menace of their tone! For every sound that floats From the rust within their throats Is a groan. And the people—ah, the people— They that dwell up in the steeple, All alone, And who tolling, tolling, tolling, In that muffled monotone, Feel a glory in so rolling On the human heart a stone— They are neither man nor woman— They are neither brute nor human— They are Ghouls: And their king it is who tolls; And he rolls, rolls, rolls, Rolls A pæan from the bells! And his merry bosom swells With the pæan of the bells! And he dances, and he yells; Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the pæan of the bells— Of the bells: Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the throbbing of the bells— Of the bells, bells, bells— To the sobbing of the bells; Keeping time, time, time, As he knells, knells, knells, In a happy Runic rhyme, To the rolling of the bells— Of the bells, bells, bells— To the tolling of the bells, Of the bells, bells, bells, bells— Bells, bells, bells— To the moaning and the groaning of the bells.

These Days 02:34
I am stuck here with you There is nothing we can do Soon we'll go our separate ways But we'll make the most of these days I want all we have to find Time, there's no time, too much time I am stuck here with you There is nothing we can do Soon we'll go our separate ways But we'll make the most of these days Spending our days far away You want for me to stow away I am stuck here with you There is nothing we can do Soon we'll go our separate ways But we'll make the most of these days

Our Riches 01:55
Long ago we worked more for less Now we are rich, not just in what we possess Millions of us have all built everything If we all left it would all go away All that we make is built on what we've done How can the credit go to any one person? All that we make has been seized by the few Kept far away from the ones who produced it All that we get is the least they can give Lie to be kind for as long as they live Back to the roots: All for all What we proclaim: All for all The right to well-being: well being for all The right to well-being: well being for all The right to well-being: well being for all The right to well-being: well being for all

Send me the dark blue flame I desire to burn down Not in earthly, but in heavenly fire That's right, I'm a trickmaster Schemes ruined by this disaster All this here I was given This land turned to a prison Buildings that are not buildings Chambers not for living A vessel for the soul I loved it, this my toll Buildings of beauty, laws be damned Polyhedron from my hand Chimeras, chimera, They were all chimeras This town full of dreamers Built from prisms and mirrors Buildings demand people Building without equal Buildings that are not buildings Chambers not for living A vessel for the soul I loved it, this my toll Buildings of beauty, laws be damned Polyhedron from my hand Chimeras, chimera, They were all chimeras Focus aura like a lens with sunrays Dreams to life, transported to fantasies A vessel for the soul I loved it, this my toll Buildings of beauty, laws be damned Polyhedron from my hand Chimeras, chimera, They were all chimeras I will never be able to repeat this I was smart enough to take the designs of my creation to the parting

The Lever 02:40
Crawling through the desert All alone and all undone Not a place of rest in sight That is where we find him That is where we find our Nate Dragging slowly through the sand Sun is beating, beating down All he hears is water water Water water water water He must go and find it quick Water water water water All alone and all exposed Shelter shelter shelter shelter There's a temple in the distance Shelter shelter shelter shelter Meet the one inside The snake of the desert The snake of the temple The snake of the haven Of the refuge from evil The snake's in the movies The snake's in the shows That snake of the lever The snake in the know Welcome to my temple, Nate Here you'll find a place to stay A place to sleep, a place to eat And most of all a place to drink One thing, though, that you must know Never touch the lever Pulling it will end the world So never touch the lever They got to talking, hit it off The snake had bold ambitions Beyond this mere protection gig He longed for silver screens His lucky day was here you see For Nate was just the man in need An agent for the carpet red Was his trade, on the weekdays Movies movies movies movies That is where we find our snake Movies movies movies movies Hit it big at last Tired tired tired tired Of this gig, eventually Tired tired tired tired Time to back home The snake of the desert The snake of the temple The snake of the haven Of the refuge from evil The snake's in the movies The snake's in the shows That snake of the lever The snake in the know After many years had passed We find our snake nostalgic He wants to see his good friend Nate Who helped him with his vision So in his truck, the snake must go And drive along the highway The snake must go and travel far To see his dear old friend Hours pass, but through the haze The snake can clearly see It's Nate, his friend, oh no, but wait He's going for the lever Pulling it will end the world So never touch the lever In a rush, he swerves and kills Better Nate than lever The snake of the desert The snake of the temple The snake of the haven Of the refuge from evil The snake's in the movies The snake's in the shows That snake of the lever The snake in the know The snake of the desert The snake of the temple The snake of the haven Of the refuge from evil The snake's in the movies The snake's in the shows That snake of the lever The snake in the know

West 02:54
There lies a building under the moon Down on the floor nothing left but 3 shoes Ladder on wallpaper, neat rows of wood Doors lead to doors lead to somewhere unknown Enter the bricks the shadows See the body on the floor The body ascends, the mark on the wall The torch alight on its own Rock on a table, girl on the floor Doll on a hook, and an urn by the door Under the trimming, crack through the floor Doors lead to doors in the dark closed beyond Enter the bricks the shadows See the body on the floor The body ascends, the mark on the wall The torch alight on its own A shuffle behind in the shadows A ghostly face in the window The mummy in the shadows The man in the flesh on the balcony The lady walks through the door While the maid holds the pitcher And the man on the fur sits Enter the bricks the shadows See the body on the floor The body ascends, the mark on the wall The torch alight on its own

I want to hold your hand But I feel like I can't So guess we'll walk alone So no one has to know That I'm a homosexual The people here seem nice But should I roll those dice Because it just takes one To make me have to run Cause I'm a homosexual This doesn't bother you I might be the fool This hasn't happened to me But that's not all you see When I'm a homosexual I want to hold his hand One day I know I can I hope it won't be long But I'll just sing this song For I'm a homosexual

Always Here 01:54
Walk with me by the side of the road We'll talk and see all the times we know We're always here Take me through the woods Take me take me past the pits of knowledge Lead me by the hand Lead me to the pond of all Walk with me past the hills and the trees We'll stop and see all the world's covered in snow We're always here When the night is done We shall gather in the alcove Where the people are as one We'll escape the lights and food Stop and breathe while the world all slows He'll talk to me by the side of the road We're always here Meet inside the room After all the jubilation happens Let it trickle out Gather round the table now Talk to her 'bout the way she knows Him and I we're the last to go We're always here Go inside the room Can't avoid it anymore He'll talk to me 'bout the way he knows Wait outside the door Make it fast we have no time I'll talk to him 'bout the way I know We're always here
