Climbing mountain climbing We climb mountains for glory Soaring mountains bore we Every plane has a story Climbing mountain climbing Soaring mountains bore we Climbing mountains climbing Come on now, Liberate me Thinking thoughts, we're thinking We think thoughts and pleasure Soaring thoughts flew by me Every item is a treasure Prosper the work Into the our hands Proper the Climbing mountain climbing Soaring mountains bore we Climbing mountains climbing Come on now, Liberate me

Stony Places 03:37
Our house is made of stone and stony places feel like home. Our heads just break apart and stony faces seem like art. The lights that made the elders cough. The spells that we had soon wore off. And just because the words were wrong we had to watch the children sing their last song. Get yourself away in cars. The loneliest places are in the children's scars. Get yourself away from Mars. The stoniest places are in the soldiers' scars.

Oak 07:57
Scientists and trophy wives will soon hear their call to the wild. Today we'll have a drastic change in our lives, where sharks and minnows float on by. Oh, the flood will come just like a rebirth. Soon us fish will take back all the life on this earth. Oh, we will have life once we can breathe. But it won’t be the same. Soon we'll pull everyone of those crooked teeth. We’ll be the same. Oh Egypt and Rome crumble before the night. And our whole lives flash before our eyes.

Trace back the tracks of the shoes in the snow. Trespass; we've got no more room to grow. Trace back the tracks of the show in the snow. Slugs step back from the trees to grow. Clap hands together now; pray for warm weather now. Just like a pack of wolves, my friend, we get hungry again. Just like a chart without a trend, just like a line without an end, just like a fish on barren land we get hungry my friend.

We got tired. We got tired of waiting around. We got what we wanted. We brought this on ourselves. Would You?

In Our Prime 07:25
In our neighborhood, in our beds nothing felt so good in our time. And they'll bring us back when we’re dead. And nothing would have felt so good in our prime. Now you've got nothing to lose. Now you've got something to prove. Now you've got everything to lose. So young, so filled with innocence. We all fulfill our promises. So young, so filled with ignorance. We stop, forget our promises. Come on now, villain be a hero. Just go down, without sound. Just go quiet with grace and silence.
