Nothing
I
I am nothing
I am nothing in the end
There
There's no trying
There's no trying to pretend
And it's all just the ocean or the fire or the wind
And the unbounded motion doesn't end or begin
And it's breaking you open when you're diving within
But your heart isn't frozen
There
There is nothing
There is nothing to defend
They say don't worry about the darkness
Cause the light will return
And the fire takes the likeness
Of all that it burns
But this drunken boat is lost now
And I'm lashed by the tides
Washed away in the ocean
I am nothing
I am nothing
And the fire you will learn takes the shape of what burns

I Am Your Emperor
It's all so fantastic
You're so plugged in that it's hard to believe
But isn't it tragic
You cannot feel what you cannot perceive
And all your attention
Scattered and holding you down like the weights round your neck
So strike up the music
I'm here to set you on fire
I am your emperor
I am your conqueror
Now everything's even
Even the words that fall out of your mouth
Blasted by reason
The things that you can't figure out
But I am here now
Banishing thoughts like the sirens that wail in your mind
And up to the ceiling
I am defying your gravity
I am your emperor
I am your conqueror
Who will be my bride?

Lost In Space
The world it stopped spinning
I should have told you everything
I'm growing stronger and lonely every day
I can only watch you drift away
The light inside is hidden from your view
I'm here to reflect it back to you
Lost in space
Is there a way, from this place
To find you again
Lost in space
Sending signals home
Like Laika all alone
And all I can remember
I should have told you everything
Lost in space
Is there a way, from this place
To find you again
Lost in space
Sending signals home
Like Laika all alone
Orbiting the sky
Without knowing why
Sending signals home
Take me down

Sacred King
When all that's left is mendacity
When you are broken, you can lean on me
You're waiting for the click, well I am here
To sing the siren song, whispered in your ear
Holding on to what you cannot touch
You must let go
It's just a crutch
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
This cat will hold on, you will not take less
The gown I wore was grandma's wedding dress
But now you don't want what the family needs
And take your place on the throne beside me
And now Daddy dies
Like a Sacred King
So there will be
One more Spring
Oh dance with me
Take your place in the tree. It will be
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
You lose yourself
In the Echo Spring
And greed and avarice
Seem to be everything
And now Daddy dies
Like a Sacred King
And so it's your turn
To do this very thing
Avarice, avarice, greed, greed, greed, greed

Splitting
Wake up. Wake.
Wake up. Wake.
Forgot how to become yourself
And you find that you're sure there's no one else to let you
Know you used to know
Try to remember
The way to find your other mind
Bind them together
Wake up. Wake.
Wake up. Wake.
And when kindness makes you fall apart
Because love makes it hard to hurt yourself but in the
Dark it's just a spark
Try to remember
The way you find the other mind
Bind them together
So broken
Can this broken mirror break your fall?
Forgot how to become yourself
And you find that you're sure you've got me to let you know
You used to know
Try to remember
The way to find your other mind
Bind them together
But in the dark it's just a spark
Try to remember
The way to find your other mind

Passion Of the Lovers
Noah
Found the girl in Florida
Came to dance with
A pirate and a warrior
"So we meet again."
She ran to the mantle
Grasping the blade by the handle
All your dreams, all your nightmares
All the is darkness is becoming clear
Pilar had to flee Santiago
Now her heart has been exchanged for the ship she stole
And all she knows
She crossed swords and she parried
With this man that she married
All your fears, all your battles
All these kisses have you rattled
The passion of the lovers
As they capture one another
All your fears, all your battles
All my kisses have you rattled
The passion of the lovers
As they capture one another
The passion of the lovers

Hopeful Monsters
What you know is true
The future's coming back for you
There's a captain with no chart
To find a place for you to start
One mistake or one mutation
Will make the perfect situation
And save the day for those who saw
Their life contain the perfect flaw
The future, they say she waits for no one
But a million years from now
You won't believe the place she made
For you and me
And all that you have to do is go on
And make your big mistake and then create
The world you couldn't help but make
In this time of hopeful monsters
With cravings that are constant
But distant relatives will win
With smaller brains and bigger fins
The future, they say she waits for no one
But a million years from now
You won't believe the place she made
For you and me
And all that you have to do is go on
And make your big mistake and then create
One million years is long
Complications will be gone
No one will sing this song
La la la la la la la la la.....

Lady Ligeia
La la lady Ligeia
Lady Ligeia
White as ivory
Blackest hair and strangely divine
Her voice was music
I lost myself in
Those luminous eyes
La la lady Ligeia
Lady Ligeia
She knew secrets
The vastness of form
Her voice was the deepest
But she was fading
In the rush of the storm
The night that she died
She told me
As she grew so ill
"We yield ourselves to the Angels
We only die because our feeble will"
We only die because our feeble will
After months of aimless wandering
I found myself in darkest grandeur
An abbey in the deepest England
Driven by my heart abandoned
Marrying fair haired Rowena
I led her from the wedding alter
To the cursed bridal chamber
Never to replace Ligeia
Lofty walls and ghastly figures
Haunted her into the bedroom
She fell ill into the fever
My opium dreams they came and took me
She grew pale and then she grew still
Grief took me then she awakened
Raven black tresses fell down the bed
There she was no longer dead
La la lady Ligeia
La la lady Ligeia

Pickett's Charge
Waves of fire like flowers bloom
In the drifting clouds on Seminary Ridge
Sliding down the long afternoon
To the end
He said the Lord will come for you in his own time
As if these triggers pulled themselves
And the music of cannon fire
Scores the scene
Where we die for nothing
Falling down
We'll hold the line
Til the end
But the Lord won't come for me, not this time
We chose this way to hell
While the music of cannon fire
Scores the scene
Where we die for nothing
