Once more into the breach
To the gods we beseech
This will be just another day
No longer can we pretend
Time will always be our friend
We’re running out of quarters to play
Beyond precious flesh and bone
You and I are not alone
Neuroses serve as currency
Yes we struggle to persist
Little reward and so much risk
Dredged in false equivalency
And patient to a fault read the grave
Too simple or stubborn to ever stray
Days are long and nights are short
Still we dutifully report
Always sticking to protocol
Sure, you’d think we’d soon grow bored
But the routines do keep us floored
Shoveling handfuls of demerol
And patient to a fault read the grave
Too simple or stubborn to ever stray
And I know it seems surreal
To swallow such a bitter pill
But there’s no shame in this
My love

We’ve been waiting for so long
And tired of hearing the timing’s all wrong
No one doubts our faith is strong
Perhaps salvation needs a push, a push along
(Just a little shove)
We’re just clearing the path for Revelation
We’re not looking for a believer
We’ll take any manner of savior
And if our paths might intertwine
God knows what’s truly divine, so divine
So we’re clearing the path to Revelation

What's In Your Heart

This far out, I can’t make out the details
Just the gravity that’s weighing down the scales
Well, they’re nearly scraping the floor
And I’m so intrigued—I gotta know
What’s in your heart, your heart, your heart
Can you unburden your heart, your heart, your heart?
I’m not looking to change your life’s direction
I’m just a gawker lurking at the intersection
Letting the traffic pass me by
Now we’ve both stayed too long
And got nowhere to turn
So let me know how it burns
In your heart, your heart, your heart
Can you unburden your heart, your heart, your heart?
I won’t mess you round
I’ve got nothing to hide
I won’t put you down
Just let me inside
Of your heart, your heart, your heart
Can you unburden your heart, your heart, your heart?

Pure

The klaxons rang for miles and hours
But the tsunami hit without a sound
Washing clear misdeeds and misgivings
And leaving bare souls in its wake
When the moment came did I know what was happening
Or did it pass right by without a nod?
The flesh feels fresh and unspoiled by the touch
And these eyes don’t look the same
So I hope not to falter
As I walk to the altar
Every step unsure
I’ve got nothing to offer
At least not anything proper
She says, what you have is pure
Now the curtain falls on the souls we once knew
The ones we thought eternal
These new legs stumble, and struggle to move forward
Yet have so many place to be
So I hope not to falter
As I walk to the altar
Every step unsure
I’ve got nothing to offer
At least not anything proper
She says, what you have is pure

Lyrics:
I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?
Lose sensations, spare the insults, leave them for another day
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling
Take the shock away
It's getting faster, moving faster now
It's getting out of hand
On the tenth floor, down the back stairs
It's a no man's land
Lights are flashing, cars are crashing
Getting frequent now
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling
Let it out somehow
What means to you, what means to me
And we will meet again
I'm watching you, I'm watching
Oh I'll take no pity from your friends
Who is right? Who can tell?
And who gives a damn right now?
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold
Then you know
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold
Then you know
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold
Then you know
I've got the spirit
But lose the feeling
I've got the spirit
But lose the feeling
Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling
