WE FIND OURSELVES PART OF A TREND, FIGHTING THE ODDS ON HOW THIS WILL END. WRITING A NOVEL, SAVING THE CITY, ENDING ALL THE THEORIES; THAT WE CAN'T GROW! WE REMOVE OUR MASKS; OPEN OUR MINDS TO MORE THAN STATISTICS. FORMING A PATH TO STAY AFLOAT! SO IF THEY ASK ME HOW I'M FEELING FOR THE SAKE OF CONVERSATION I'LL TELL THEM I'M IN LOVE! WE FIND OURSELVES RAISING A SON. SAVING OUR TIME AND MONEY FOR HIM, TIMOTHY HELP US! YOU'RE LIVING PROOF, THAT WE NEVER FAILED, THAT WE ALWAYS LOVE YOU. WE REMOVE OUR MASKS; EXPOSE OURSELVES TO MORE THAN GROWING DEBTS. FORMING A PATH TO STAY AFLOAT! SO IF THEY ASK ME HOW I'M DOING FOR THE SAKE OF CONVERSATION, I'LL TELL THEM I'M OKAY!
WE DISCONNECT, I STAY AT HOME AND WORK ALONE. YOU BEAR THE WEIGHT, I RAISE OUR SON. WE FOUND OUR COMMON GROUND AND THAT'S JUST HOW THINGS WORKED OUT.

I HOPE YOU'RE GONE WHEN I COME HOME. IF ONLY SHE WOULD JUST LET GO.
ITS WATER LOGGED, AND BOUND TO MOLD. IF RUST IS JUST A SURFACE LACED IN QUESTIONS FULL OF DISARRAY. ITS MONOLOGUE PLAYED TO A TEE. I'VE BEEN BREAKING BOWS TO CATCH YOU RIGHT BEFORE YOU HIT THE GROUND. IF YOU SEARCHING FOR AN ANSWER YOU'LL NEVER KNOW IT'S CANCER. DROWNING IN SIDE, WITH CEMENT TIDE TO OUR ANKLES. WHAT A TRADE FOR HIS LIFE! WHO IS SAVING THIS ANGEL? DON'T ACT LIKE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE, AND WALK AWAY WHEN I'M NOT DONE. I HOPE YOU KNOW IT'S JUST AS HARD ON ME. HER SECRETS SHOWN THROUGH HOLLOW EARTH LIKE BRITTLE BONE WORDS COULDN'T HURT. STILL SITTING THERE FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF. I'VE BEEN BREAKING BOWS TO CATCH YOU RIGHT BEFORE YOU HIT THE GROUND. IF YOU SEARCHING FOR THEIR ANSWERS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW, YOU'LL NEVER WANT TO KNOW. BEEN BREAKING BOWS TO CATCH YOU RIGHT BEFORE YOU HIT THE GROUND. IF YOU SEARCHING FOR HER ANSWERS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW; I HOPE YOU'RE THERE WHEN I GET HOME. IF ONLY SHE WOULD NEVER GO. I'M SITTING HERE FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF.

STEP INTO MY OFFICE! I SEE YOU HAVE SOME BILLS TO PAY. SO YOU SAY YOU'RE ALONG HERE WITH TOO MANY PROBLEMS AND NO TIME TO EXPLAIN? WELL I HAVE AN OFFER; IT'LL ONLY TAKE A FEW YEARS TIME. I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOUR ANSWER AND FOR NOW I'LL PUT THIS PROSPECT ON HOLD. MAKE UP YOUR MIND! YOU'RE SINKING IN QUICK NOW SO CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM. IN TIME YOU'LL FIND YOU'RE TOO INDECISIVE. WHAT BRINGS YOU TO BUY MY IRON LUNG? PLEASE HEAR OUT MY REQUEST! YOU SEE, I HAVE A SON TO RAISE.
IN A WORLD NO JOBS AND NO STEADY INCOME THERE'S JUST NO PLACE TO STAY. I ONCE WAS A WRITER SELLING TALES OF PURE FANTASY. NOW I'M A JUST A WIDOWER WITH A FORE CLOSER IN NEED OF A LIFE LINE.
THAT WILL DO JUST FINE. I SEE YOU'RE IN NEED, YES, SO CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM! SIGN THE DOTTED LINE! I SEE ALL YOUR GRIEF, A TRUE MAN IN NEED, YOU'LL MEET THE SEA! I'LL SEE YOU AT THE DOCKS WHERE YOU'LL MEET YOUR CREW. YOU'LL GET YOUR PAY WHEN THE JOB IS THROUGH. SEE THIS AS VACATION AND NOTHING LESS IRON LUNGS ARE A MEANS TO COMPLETE YOU QUEST. YOUR SHIP THE U.S.S NAUTILUS WILL GUIDE YOU! I HOPE THAT I WON'T LOSE SATURATION WITH THE DISTANCE I'LL ACCRUE. MAKING MAPS FOR A NEW HOME, BREWING FUTURES FOR THE CREW. I WOULD DO IT ALL ALONE BUT TIMOTHY IT'S ALL FOR YOU!

IF THIS WHOLE WORLD SWALLOWED ME, IF THESE RUSTY GALLOWS I CAN SEE BECAME MY OWN WORST ENEMY, I'D BURN THIS SHIP DOWN WITH THE CREW! LAY FLAT OUT ON YOUR SIDE AND BECOME A NOMADS ALIBI, IF WE PULL THE SPEC OUT OF YOUR EYE, PLEASE TELL THE TIDES TO TURN US LOOSE!
THOUGHT THIS POINT IN HISTORY IS HARD TO TRIANGULATE. IN RIPTIDES THROUGH WHIRL POOLS AND...OH HERE WE GO AGAIN. OCEANS FIGHTING WITH THUNDER AND LIGHTNING. ALERT THE CAPTAIN WITH THE WATERS BELOW.
STORMS SUBSIDE BEFORE OUR EYES SO WE'RE IN A GRAVE YARD SO INTO THE WRECKAGE WE GO! THIS WHOLE SHOW IS A CHARADE YOU CAN SEE ALL THE MISTAKES WE'VE MADE. IT SEEMS YOU'VE LEFT NO LIVES TO SAVE. BERMUDA'S HERE TODAY THERE'S NO TIME FOR TOMORROW! IT'S A WHOLE NEW LOW TO SEE AND IT'S NOT FOR YOU IT'S ALL FOR ME. I FOUND NO PLACE I'D RATHER BE AND NO WAY TO SAVE OUR NEW PRECIOUS CARGO!
I WON'T WAIT FOR THE SUN TO BURN OUT. IT'S ALL GONE LIKE THE TASTE OF SUCCESS IN MY MOUTH. THE SEAS SHAKE LIKE MIGHTY EARTHQUAKES. INTO THE WRECKAGE WITH ALL THAT IT TAKES!

A PASSENGER FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF MY LIFE ABOARD, ONE FIFTH OF MY TIME ON THIS HOLLOW EARTH. FATHER IF YOU HEAR ME FIND A SHORE. I NEED TO KNOW. WILL WE BREACH THE SURFACE OR IS THIS TIDE OUR HOME. SOMEWHERE AN APPLES FALLING. UNAWARE OF SELF OR ITS FORMER TREE. SOMEWHERE AN ORCHARDS DROWNING FERTILE AND HUNGRY BLESSED BY THE SEA. I'M NOT MY FATHER'S SON. I'D RATHER BE DRIFTING IN THE OPEN SEA. WE NEED A MIRACLE TO SAVE US SOON OR KEEP US ALL AFLOAT. I WELCOME THE TRIENNIAL AND ITS OVERSIGHT. LOSING CREW TO THE ONES IN THE WATER. THEY'RE PATIENTLY SINGING THEIR SONG. "YOU'RE ALMOST HOME, COME OVERBOARD!" AS IF THE WAVES WEREN'T ENOUGH WE'RE CONSUMED AND WE'RE THRASHED THROUGH THE DAYS WE WERE FOSTERED. I'M NOT MY FATHER'S SON I'D RATHER BE LOST AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA. IF YOU TAKE WHAT I DREAMT AND MADE IT TRUE, WE'D BE 1 THOUSAND LEAGUES BELOW.
IF YOU TAKE WHAT I DREAMT AND MADE IT TRUE, HE'D BE 5 THOUSAND LEAGUES BELOW.

OUT ON THE DOCKS WE WERE STRANDED ON ROCKS WITH OUR SALTY SEA LIPS ON A HUNT SINKING SHIPS. ALONE WITH OUR THOUGHTS, A FEW CAMPFIRE TALKS NEVER WEIGHING THE RISKS OF A VOYAGE LIKES THIS. SAVE ME!
AS STRANGE AS THEY COME WE WERE COMFORTABLY NUMB, FILLED WITH ASH THEN WITH WATER ASSUMED IT WOULD GROW. AS COLD AS A STATUE WITH TWICE OF THE WHIT, NEVER LEARNED HOW TO CHOOSE WITH YOUR SIZE 20 SHOES. I'M BETTER NOW I’M BETTER NOW THANK YOU FOR THE TIME THAT WE SPENT OUT AT SEA. I CRASHED MY SHIP AND DON’T KNOW WHY YOU DRAGGED MY FROM THE WRECKAGE BUT THE FEELING I HAVE'S BITTER SWEET. ALONE IN THE DARK UNTIL I SENT A FIRE, BETTER TIME FILLED THE SKYLINE, THE SWEET MISERY. AS LAME AS A LION OUR BARK AND OUR BITE, LAYING LIMP IN THE GRASS TILL THE NEXT SIGNS OF RAIN. BUT THE TRUTH IS THIS WAS ME HALLUCINATING! HERE WE FIND OUR FATES ALIGN UPON THE DEVIL'S PASSAGE. THE TIDES ABHORRED OUR LIVES ABOARD LOST DEEP INSIDE THE WRECKAGE.

CAN YOU SEE HOW IT ALL COMES TOGETHER? BY THE TIME YOU'VE EXPLAINED NOTHINGS LEFT TO EXPOSE.IN THE TIME THAT WE'RE GIVING IT ALL FADES AWAY JUST LIKE SHRAPNEL IN CURRENT WE CAN'T FIND OUR WHOLE. YOU CAN SAY GOODBYE AS MUCH AS YOU WANT. IS THE FEELING STILL THERE ARE WE PLAGUED BY YOUR GHOST? NEVER GIVEN A CHANCE TO BE OUT IN THE WORLD, SO WELCOME TO THE SHOW JUST IN TIME FOR THE CLOSING ACT! I CAN'T BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WHERE THINKING! LET ME SHOW YOU THE END OF THIS STORY HOW THE WORDS 'ROUND YOUR NECK ALL TRAIL BACK TO YOUR THROAT. ON THE SHADOW STAINED WALLS, HOW THEY PATIENTLY WAIT FOR THE DAY THAT YOU BRAKE AND ARE COMFORTABLY NUMB. WE CAN HOPE FOR THE BEST WAY TO FIX IT BUT THE STORMS WILL SUBSIDE AND ALL LIFE SHALL PLAY ON. NEVER CHANGING OUR FLAWS CAUSE IT'S WHAT MAKES US WHOLE. FITTING THE END TO OUR NEEDS HOW IT BATES AND IGNORES. I'LL JUST BIDE MY TIME. (AND LEAVE IT UP TO THE PATTERNS I TRACE IN THE GROUND.) WE JUST HAD TO LOSE OUR MINDS IN AWE. THIS BLUE IS NEVER TEMPORARY, I'LL BIDE MY TIME. HAVE FUN COORDINATING YOUR TWO HEADS, THIS WASTE OF TIME'S LIKE LOSING SHIPS. ON UNSTILL WATERS I MADE MY BED YET YOU ARE INTENSE AND INTENTIONALLY DEAD. SCREAM TILL YOUR LUNGS BURN RED YOU'LL SEE HOW THIS ALL MAKE SENSE. SO SCREAM INTO THE AIR FOR EVER YOU'LL SEE HOW THIS ALL COMES TOGETHER. TRY AND FIGHT THE UNDER-TOE IT'S PULLING YOU DOWN BECAUSE A MYTH IS NOT A MIRACLE IT'S PAINFULLY UNDER CLOSE EYES AND SHUT EARS TO THE TRUTH LIKE AN ANIMAL CHASING AWAY ALWAYS HIDING MISTAKES. A FATHERS REGRETS IN 3 SIMPLE WORDS: "I LOVED YOU" TO THINK THAT I NEVER SAID IT ENOUGH. A FATHERS REGRETS IN 3 SIMPLE WORDS: "I LOST YOU" TO THINK THAT I NEVER WILL SEE YOU AGAIN. YOU CAN BEG BUT NOTHING IS COMING TO STOP THE END.

I FOUND LAND, OR IT FOUND ME. EITHER WAY I'LL MAKE SHELTER FOR NOW.
ALL CAUSE I FEAR WHAT THE NIGHT HOLDS. BUT IT'S HERE AND I'M WOKEN BY MY FRIEND HOPPING OUT OF THE TREE AND INTO THE SAND. SOMETHING'S GLOWING, UNDER THE STARTS TIDES POOLS ARE BURNING. THESE FLAMES ARE HUNGRY AND EATING HIM TO THE BONE. THIS IS GOODBYE MY FRIEND AND NEW HOME. WHO AM I? AN ORPHAN, UNCHARTED TERRITORY JUST OUT OF VIEW? IS THIS ME, THIS BURNING WATER? IDIOSYNCRASY REFLECTS ME!
WHO AM I? AN ORPHAN, UNCHARTED TERRITORY JUST OUT OF VIEW?
WHERE DO WE STAND AND HOW WILL I KNOW IF I'VE NEVER BEEN LAND LOCKED LIKE YOU? WHAT IF I SAVE MYSELF AND BUILD A VESSEL?

I'M NEVER GONNA STAY/ I'LL NEVER GET TO KNOW YOU/ TOO STRONG TO WALK AWAY AND SEE THE FUTURE I'M COMPARED TO. IF IT WAS ONLY ME, AN EMPTY SHEET, A BROKEN PEN I'D STILL WRITE THE WORDS THAT REACHED YOU, WITH NO PLACE TO BEGIN. I'LL EXPLORE-, I'LL EXPLODE-! FIND A PLACE FOR ME TO BEND/ TO BREAK INTO MY MIND AGAIN/ IF EYES ARE WINDOWS TO THE SOUL DESTROY THE GLASS WE'RE LIVING IN/A HOUSE FOR THROWING STONES/ THIS DROP INSIDE A LAKE OF SIN/ SURROUNDED BY AN OCEAN TO SAFE FOR COMING BACK. I'M DROWNING ON THE SIDE OF YOUR LOST EXPECTATIONS/ I'LL NEVER WONDER WHY A GLASS HALF EMPTY IS THE SAFEST/ SO TURN A DEAF EAR TO MY WOES AND EMPTY MORNINGS AND TELL ME A TALE OF HOW YOU WOULD DO THE SAME. IMAGINE ALL THESE MOVING PARTS AS HALF SHUT WINDOWS BARELY OPEN TO THE WIND. INTENTIONALLY MUTE SO THE WORDS DON'T COME OUT SOUNDING WRONG.

CAPSIZED. IF ONLY YOU KNEW HOW I WAS WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING. AND THAT MEANS EVERYTHING. IT'S ABOUT TIME I TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING I SAW. AND THAT'S EVERYTHING ON THE OPEN SEA. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE IT DIDN'T SHOW WITH ALL OF THE SHIPS THAT HAVE GONE BY. FORGET ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU KNOW. ATLANTIS, THE LIE. IMAGINE BEING PULLED OUT OF THE SEA TO START TALKING BUT I'M FINALLY BREATHING. I WAS APPROACHED BY A MAN WITH AN OFFER WHO SAID HE NEEDED PROOF IT WAS ME OUT IN THAT WATER SCREAMING IN MY FATHER'S SHOES. HOW COULD YOU EVER KNOW THAT THE TRUTH IS WHAT I SAW, TREADING CIRCLES UNDER CURRENT TO CRADLE EVERY MAP AND LOG. CAPSIZED. IF ONLY YOU KNEW HOW YOU WERE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING. IT'S ABOUT TIME WE TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING I SAW. WHICH WAS NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
