Circa Survive - On Letting Go

It starts out like a season in reverse

A way to set your mind above and over words

Attached means identity

Erases things,
so how can we record?

Distress call code-word is I wanna live

He makes it up as it goes,
it goes away

Your rational mind's insane

Taste the sound you make

When the light from the sun

(It's the story that never gets sold)

The light from the sun

It is your mother

With an effortless smile,

you pervade to be

Always in-between aisles

An optimistic daring me

Would you trade your soul for gold?

Infinite silence,
flowing right in with the dawn

This is wrong, this is wrong

And I cannot sleep without the radio on

You are in my dreams

Half human, half machine

With someone else

That I have felt and seen

I will not rest,
or my conciousness contest

Looking right through the lens

From winter bring the spring again

And we fall asleep again with ties to mend

So please, let the cleaning begin

With evolution

Hold my breath

Until communication

Is only just a test

This building smelled so familiar

And I had thought the sense was lost

And in a daydream I imagined my house

Where all my father's sense of strength was lost

And it's all we have

So find me a place to begin

If I could get this feeling to end

Trembling idle hands, holding me there

We laugh in the face of love,
because nobody's really there

Nobody's real

Desire I would try it either way

We believe in something invisible

The sense of smell that you used all your life

Well now you know your father lied

I could never find my way without you

But you're already there

We've come a long long way,
without maps in our hands

It's all we have

Move one inch at a time

Don't make shit rhyme

Would it be easy to repeat the first line?

My mind's not a well

It won't run dry

Just keep drinking water and you'll be alright

This is paralysis,
with no time at all to let go

Don't call me by my full name

And all this is temporary

It feels much better to know,
that you won't feel a thing

Don't talk about it, write it down,
but don't ask for help

I can't be honest with even myself

Did you ever with you were somebody else?

Just lasting this long

I feel relieved to let repetition save me

Well don't call me by my full name

And all this is temporary

It feel much better to know,
that you won't feel a thing

Don't talk about it, write it down,
but don't ask for help

I can't be honest with even myself

Did you ever wish you were somebody else?

Dance with me,
for I'll be leaving soon

The afterbirth on the keypads overwhelm

"Did he who make the lamb make thee"?

Help me find it's origin

In a cartoon house

In a cartoon car

There are cities buried underneath our cities

"Let the people be free"

"Let the people be free" it's all around us

Let the people see

We so obviously had another hand

And so separated

How can I act like I've made this when I

So obviously had another hand

It came across like you were mad

Holding in your breath

With everything you had

Until your face began to turn red

This is why I turn and walk away from everything

I need to feel is closer now

This is why I turn and walk away from everything,
and I never thought it'd be like this

Between the seal

A church is revealed

And I would rather be

Lonely

Along the way

Something set us off into the wrong direction,
but within this particular space, time goes to waste

And time starts to slow down

And all of these patterns never change so

Slow down

Because nobody looks at life the same

No one was like this until you came along

And reset our dials all wrong

Lonely

Along the way

Something set us off into the wrong direction,
but within this particular space, time goes to waste

Leave out meaning this time

Let tensions evolve,
infinite groove confused
in childish tantrums

Your feelings were sacrificed

For a greater cause

And if you forget what you saw,
you'll be forgiven

But there isn't a chance

That I could do this on my own

Now our perceptions have grown

Branches of petals and paper and metal

Amber tinfoil forest confines us

We disconnect like this is the end

Set your mental alarm

That you think it's safe to rely on

That you think is safe

For everybody elses sake

In case it gets away from us

Don't pull it closer

The damage revealed the cost

But it wasn't worth it

Oh, but they'll never know

To keep in mind the line

That separates idols

If the world is a dream

And nothing is worth it

Unless you have a god (We're all going to hell)

But we won't be saved

We'll live as slaves to love

What God takes away

We'll refill all the holes with mud

"Purchase your tickets;
I'm kicking your crosses down"

And all the voices sound just like you

The words rolled off our backs and sound the same

I'll be waiting

I hope that it's worth it but I'll never know
