lyrics

Hyphon:

I creep up to where the fault line used to be
woke from the dream, still you and me
from a memory my grasp to it illusory
when they remember the question is, whose story?
yours is printed, bound in books and hardened
mine's the rebellious scribbles in the margin
we both laugh at their image tarnished
so I go without a map, seeking the uncharted
charlatan, harem bearer, lotus child
carving in, scared of where a motive lies
bargain bin, careless pair up, know it's mine
so now I seek the end game, where I expose the lines
blowing mines, know it's signs, wish I did not hear your wail into a flowing cry
honest and cautious, risk the hurt we grow in time
orchards over pastures over gardens over lawns
(permaculture) my destiny I keep sewing on
a planet I barely know at dawn
pull the fawn, wonder at the miracle of birth
going going gone, one of you is I stupefied, play slow along

Talk-O-Destiny:

show me pain, show me loneliness
I see disdain under the homeliness
there's no shoulder to cry on, so let it go
leave by-gones in Krylon
never was choice, I was never given that privilege
all I have is a voice, it's all I ever had
besides the knowledge to use it
without that it's useless, explanations like excuses
like assholes, like mutes, it's fruitless
stamp a name to face that you've never met or
run in place with baggage, regret
there's no cheese at the end of the maze
never was a choice, decisions been made
scars were engraved, but how do you expect
the same old same to wake up and change?

Th Mnmlst/Chorus:

take a deep breath and close your eyes
an ordinary world we don't have to hide
all of it together we can try and face it
speak up use your voice don't let them waste it
take a deep breath and close your eyes
an ordinary world we don't have to hide
all of it together we can try and face it
speak up use your voice don't let them waste it
take a deep breath and close your eyes
an ordinary world we don't have to hide
all of it together we can try and face it
speak up use your voice don't let them waste it
take a deep breath and close your eyes
an ordinary world we don't have to hide
all of it together we can try and face it
speak up use your voice don't let them waste it

Efftupp:

trapped behind the past and my own stuck ways
I look to yesterday, but fuck, there's a maze
now that it's gone, it's a big blur, mister
please, can you re-take our pictures?
blisters, keep forming, searching for the back when
learning that my memories, didn't really happen
what then? my past won't even function?
I'll bump Cypress Hill through a rotten Teddy Ruxpin
these days go by like they're nothin'
down goes the sun and up my consumption
that good love's kept out of arm's reach
that good girl used to be a good freak
got a little tweak, a little twerk, a little change
gotta die a little, gotta offer my remains
life will think I'm dead and then I'll punch it in the face
and be like Trick! this ain't a damn race!

Th Mnmlst/Chorus:

take a deep breath and close your eyes
an ordinary world we don't have to hide
all of it together we can try and face it
speak up use your voice don't let them waste it
take a deep breath and close your eyes
an ordinary world we don't have to hide
all of it together we can try and face it
speak up use your voice don't let them waste it
take a deep breath and close your eyes
an ordinary world we don't have to hide
all of it together we can try and face it
speak up use your voice don't let them waste it
take a deep breath and close your eyes
an ordinary world we don't have to hide
all of it together we can try and face it
speak up use your voice don't let them waste it

Guess Prefontaine:

how can we just fall into line and not want to find
ourselves something better than a diamond
when the times spent searching where they hide it
a different side of me I just need to ignite it
like a fire that burns on an island
proof of the life forms even when it’s silent
waves wash break best for me and I ride in
simplistic is the vision within opening an eyelid
sealed shut and the songs still plays
hear it with the strings and the drums and the bass
open up it’s a brand new day
returning of the color that was flushed from your face
everything seems to glow
feel euphoria from toe to head to mind to soul
limbs and throat have even taken hold
and it’s strange everything has turned to gold
can we traverse this hole maintain and keeping hope
in a globe in gravitational pull
so unimaginable and so irrational
is the thought of a mind as it’s lost bought
written across my brow a wall of sound
we are awake and lifted off the ground
just for a second pre touch back down
now we’re speaking out but never speaking loud
selfless are the shares then it’s “oh too proud”
key lock mouth we may pass in route
follow in the footsteps no devout
won’t leave out for the betterment of anything
never better off if you’re never saying anything
so speak up are you running with the rest
or are you gonna battle with yourself as the test
the paths are endless so keep dreaming in the infinite
stay wide alive and keep thinking in the limitless
march to the drums stay steady to the cadence
gauntlet glances just to find the patience
cut from the mold make your own alterations
no concern for regular or how they’re gonna take it

Th Mnmlst/Chorus:

take a deep breath and close your eyes
an ordinary world we don't have to hide
all of it together we can try and face it
speak up use your voice don't let them waste it
take a deep breath and close your eyes
an ordinary world we don't have to hide
all of it together we can try and face it
speak up use your voice don't let them waste it
take a deep breath and close your eyes
an ordinary world we don't have to hide
all of it together we can try and face it
speak up use your voice don't let them waste it
take a deep breath and close your eyes
an ordinary world we don't have to hide
all of it together we can try and face it
speak up use your voice don't let them waste it
