There's a girl on a ledge she's got nowhere to turn'Cause all the love that she had was just wood that she burnedNow her life is on fire, it's no one's concernShe can blame the world or pray till dawn
But only love can break her fallBreak her fallYeah, only love can break her fall, fall
It's like she lost her invitation to the party on earthAnd she's standing outside hating everyone hereYeah, she's her own disease, crying to her doll
But only love can break her fallBreak her fallOnly love can break her fall, yeah
Yeah fallThe world is her fall, break her fallLove, love, love can break her fallNow only love can break her fallLove, love, can break her fall, fallLove, love can break her fallOnly love can break her

It's out of my hands making your hands meetStumble as it's crumbling out of reachIt's in the cards of destiny your sanity in tow
Designate my luckUh, resignate
This power has no roots to guide, no roleTrust me, rusted minds refuse to goUnwillingness is meaningless to walk away in vain
Designate my willAh, designate my fillAh, resignate
My will is crashing, synapses flashing slowAh, days like frame by frame, where do they go?Ah yeah, why fight? Forget it, cannot spend it after I go
Roll them highThrow them againAll gods' dice
Monkey driven, call this the living? Ha.Ah, too much thought it's overwrought a holeYeah, minding yours what's mine not yoursWill finish us off
Ah, designate my lifeAh, designate my viewAh, resignate my will, my will, my will, I willResignate my God

The sirens scream wanton attentionTime to take heed and change directionTime to take stock and make omissions
EvacuationEvacuation
Time to take leave all formal functionsTime to plant seeds of a reconstructionNo time this time to feign reluctance
It's like you're waiting for a diamond shore to wash your way.Bets put aside you're evilLets crawl into your faceA vision vague or not raising a frightful wake you up
Time for evacuationEvacuationEvacuationEvacuation

There was a solemn manWatched his twilight disappear (in the sand)Altered by a falling eagle. A warning sign. Sign.He sensed that worry could be strength with a plan he said,"Time for evacuation."

I've used hammers made out of woodI have played games with pieces and rulesI've deciphered tricks at the barBut now you're gone I haven't figured out why
I've come up with riddles and jokes about warI figured out numbers and what they're forI've understood feelings and I've understood wordsBut how could you be taken away?
And wherever you've gone and wherever we might goIt don't seem fair, today just disappearedYour light's reflected now, reflected from afarWe were but stones, your light made us stars
With heavy breath, awakened regretsBack pages and days alone that could have been spentTogether, but we were miles apartEvery inch between us becomes light years now
No time to be void or save up on lifeOh, you got to spend it all
And wherever you've gone and wherever we might goIt don't seem fair, you seemed to like it hereYour light's reflected now, reflected from afarWe were but stones, your light made us stars
And wherever you've gone and wherever we might goIt don't seem fair, today just disappearedYour light's reflected now, reflected from afarWe were but stones, your light made us stars

Don't feel like homeHe's a little outAnd all these words aloneIs nothing like your poem
Putting in, inputting inDon't feel like methadoneA scratching voice all aloneIt's nothing like your baritone
It's nothing as it seemsThe little that he needs, it's homeThe little that he seesIs nothing he can seize, it's home
One uninviting chromosomeA blanket like the ozone
It's nothing as it seemsAll that he needs is homeThe little that he freesIs nothing he believes
Saving it for a sunny daySomething maybe, two toneAnything of his ownA chip off the corner stone
Who's kidding? Rainy dayA one way ticket headstoneAn occupation's overthrownA whisper through a megaphone
It's nothing as it seemsThe little that he needs, it's homeThe little that he seesIs nothing he concedes, it's home
And all that he freesA little bittersweet, it's homeIt's nothing as it seemsThe little that he sees, it's home

There's a light when my baby is in my armsThere's a light when the window shades are drawnHesitate when I feel I may do harm to herWash it off, 'cause this feeling we can share
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air
Byzantine is reflected in our pondThere's a cloud, but the water remains calmReaching in, the sun's fingers clutch the dawn to passEven out, it's a precious thing to bear
And I know she's reached my heart in thin airYes, I know she's reached my heart in thin air
It's not in my past to presumeLove can keep on moving in both directionsHow to be happy and trueIs the quest we're taking on together
Taking on, on, on, on, onTaking on, on, on, on, on
There's a light when my baby's in my arms
And I know she's reached my heart in thin airAnd I know she's reached my heart in thin airAnd I know she's reached my heart in thin airYes, I know she's reached my heart

All in all, it's no one's faultexcuses turn to carbon wallsBlame it all on chemical intercourse
The swallowed seeds of arroganceBreeding in the thoughts of ten-Thousand fools who fight irrelevance
The full moon is dead skinThe one down here is wearing thinSo set up the ten pinsAs the human tide rolls inLike a ball that's spinning
Bombs dropping downOverhead, undergroundIt's instilled to wanna live
Bombs, dropping downPlease forgive our hometownIn our insignificance
"Turn the jukebox up," he said,Dancing in irreverance"Play C3, let the song protest."
The plates begin to shiftPerfect lefts come rolling inI was alone and far awayWhen I heard the band start playingOn the lip, late take off
Bombs dropping downOverhead, undergroundIt's instilled to wanna live
Bombs, dropping downPlease forgive our hometownIn our insignificance
Feel like resonance of distanceIn the blood, the iron lies
It's instilled to wanna live
Bombs, dropping downPlease forgive our hometownIn our insignificanceIn our insignificance

Oh, he deals them off, off the top, ties them offFills it up with his past, gets carried awayOh, half his life, a hand-me-down, wasted awayOh, he fills it up with the love of a girl
Oh, he left it alone, drilled the pain with money to buy
How he makes his getawayHow he makes his getaway
Oh, he chose a path, heavy the fall, quarter to fourFills his mind with the thought of a girl
How he makes his getawayHow he makes his getaway How he makes his getawayGetaway

Have a drink they're buyingBottom of bottle of denial
Big guy, big eye watching meHave to wonder what it sees, sinProgress laced with ramificationsFreedom's big blur, oh
Pull the innocent from a crowdRaise those sticks them bring them downIf they fail to obeyAh, if they fail to obey, yeah, yeah
For every tool they lend usA loss of independence
I pledge my grievance to the flag'Cause you don't give blood then take it back againOh, we're all deserving something more
Progress taste it, invest it allChampagne breakfast for everyone
Break the innocent when they're proudRaise those stakes then bring 'em downIf they fail to obeyOh, if they fail to obey
Pledge your grievance to the flag'Cause don't give blood then take it back againOh, we're all deserving something more
Have a, have a drink, drink
I want to breathe part of the sceneI want to taste everyone I seeI want to run when I'm up highI want to run to the seaI want to life to beI just want to beI will feel alive as long as I am free

All my rivals will see what I have in storeMy gunI've been harboring fleets in this reservoirRed sunAnd this nation's about to explode
Your disciples are riddled with metaphorsWell hungBetter pony up and bring both your barrels fullNot oneAs we release this unspeakable toll, wooh
How's our mother to damn these contributors?With mudHow will the man who made chemicals difficultShed blood?How's our father supposed to be told?I don't, oh
