Verse data is shifty data’s not real things data’s the limit data is feelings data is trouble data’s inadequate data is full of holes data’s inconvenient data’s overloaded data’s overwhelming data points a finger data is selling data’s objective data’s opinionated data is biased data’s discombobulated Chorus we're the asteroid this is the aftermath we're the danger this is the consequence later is happening now later is happening now Verse what is the best response to a catastrophe what is the nature of your emergency? fumbling and stumbling feeling your way around tumbling and bumbling everything falling down Chorus 2x we're the asteroid this is the aftermath we're the danger this is the consequence later is happening now later is happening now

Lies Lies 04:44
Verse Did I end up miles from home When I was next to you alone Now I’m right back where I started Soul unwhole I’m broken hearted Chorus Lies lies lies lies And then you go Lies lies lies lies And now you’re gone Verse All crawling through words Your promises burn These clothes never fit What am I supposed to learn And it’s breaking, vacant, I’m waiting to survive Oh the days it takes to be done And then a red light flashing inside my mind Now there’s a thunderstorm on my tongue Chorus 2x Lies lies lies lies And then you go Lies lies lies lies And now you’re gone Chorus Outro Lies lies lies lies But now I know Lies lies lies lies I’m moving on

Verse oh my god I'm tired of all these glowing screens and I get so inspired when you look over at me and we could talk for hours I like your point of view a world that's only ours offline and just us two Chorus let's switch off love zero the dial tumble down love into the wild Verse oh my life I love when we share this space the moments we make up time cannot erase oh my love our lives can get so filled with noise when all I want tonight (go down) is to listen to your voice Chorus let's switch off love zero the dial tumble down love into the wild Bridge while the moon was falling The stars covered their eyes but our whole life is calling our sun is on the rise Chorus x2 let's switch off love zero the dial tumble down love into the wild

Playing Dead 04:07
Verse our path was lit only slightly by moonbeams we got lost in this city of moodswings we've weathered superstorms all summer a wind wished away the clouds we were under Chorus we live by playing dead and now we heal everything that you said is how I feel Verse we made plans, waited for grace then heaven laughed you're alive, in my life and thank heaven for that Chorus we live by playing dead and now we heal everything that you said is how I feel Bridge in the beginning we were so breakable but we became so brave now I can feel the thread between us half a world away Chorus (4x) we live by playing dead and now we heal everything that you said is how I feel
5.
Verse I'll never look like the sun I'll never pray as loud as the barking of a gun or an angry storm cloud I won't be going over this same old empty ground I pledge allegiance to water I'm talking back to the sound Chorus I'm setting beauty free I'm taking the body back I'm believing me from the mirror love looks back Verse I'm no digital ghost moving server to server I'm a fighter I suppose A lover, a dreamer, and a worker Chorus I'm setting beauty free I'm taking the body back I'm believing me from the mirror love looks back Bridge our dreams wrapped in bodies underneath an empty sky right behind my eyes billboard of a dirty night Chorus 2x I'm setting beauty free I'm taking the body back I'm believing me from the mirror love looks back Outro 3x everything changes when you're changing everything

This Land 04:04
Verse the smell of asphalt the market’s hungry the smell of money these empty bellies the poor walking along hot scenes things are falling apart  the smell of smoke the energy’s seized the smells of exhaustion it’s all happening trying to pick up all the pieces but it’s faster than anyone said it’d be Chorus this land torn from hands of slaughtered aren't I just impossible? Verse world dressed in fever world dressed up in fire world dressed in sickness world gone haywire it won’t be long now the carton’s expired but it’s faster than anyone would believe and nothing’s offering reprieve Chorus this land torn from hands of slaughtered aren't I just impossible? Bridge forgive us, trees forgive us, seas forgive us land I’m on my knees I shut you out Now I’m praying please I remembered you, now remember me Chorus 2x this land torn from hands of slaughtered aren't I just impossible?
7.
Ice Age 03:34
Verse boots on the staircase hate on the airwaves hunting down children haunting our doorways wicked intentions these cruel inventions this age of tension please get home safe love Chorus you belong here as much as i do yes you are mine and I belong to you Verse if they came for you well what would i do? if they came for me? could you forget me? Bridge these days the weight's coming down there’s times I can't stand this town these days the weight's coming down but I'll love you Chorus 2x you belong here as much as i do yes you are mine I belong to you
8.
Fire On Fire 03:13
Verse I’m waiting here for good news The night became too dark To see through We gave up on the moon Drunk on stolen blues And the fumes Chorus Going nowhere with nowhere to go And where this ends none of us know If not for this nightmare I’d fall asleep for a hundred years Verse Could we hold on to this world Whatever it requires Speak to me in soft soft words Light this fire on fire Chorus 2x Going nowhere with nowhere to go And where this ends none of us know If not for this nightmare I’d fall asleep for a hundred years
9.
Then Maybe 03:18
Verse i was a coward then so let us not pretend we don't know what that means if I could do it over again I wouldn't have hurt you when you were begging for relief Chorus I'm not proud of how I did you wrong and was there anything you did to me? if you’d forgive me now then I’d forget myself then maybe we'd both be free Verse its a classic mistake to believe I can undo all of the heartache I put you through Chorus I'm not proud of how I did you wrong and was there anything you did to me? if you’d forgive me now then I’d forget myself then maybe we’d both be free Bridge was I lost off on some other planet? did I try hard enough to find your world? Chorus I'm not proud of how I did you wrong and was there anything you did to me? if you’d forgive me now then I’d forget myself then maybe 2nd chorus ending then maybe we'd both be free

Won't Quit 04:11
Verse We've seen this all before we should’ve known it'd come down to this We've had it up to here left wanting more let down again I guess we know by now that we've been had & we’ve been lied to what if this never ends we can’t go back stand & face the new Chorus courage love no we won't quit whatever comes we'll make the best of it Verse we've almost come undone but then again we are still breathing feels like something's waking up when it's still dark a new day’s beginning Chorus 2X courage love no we won't quit whatever comes we'll make the best of it Outro come what may I love your eyes We’ll find a way make our own light
11.
verse in the myth I wept in pieces through the dark you sang me whole stitched together by your kisses We’re at the edge of the unknown chorus these vanilla sunset angles we’ve known dust and light velvet corners of our home verse World is on fire, and our empire crumbles Thiscouldbeeee our laaast beautifuuuul daaay chorus 3x these vanilla sunset angles we’ve known dust and light velvet corners of our home
12.
Verse even when your night is my day even when you're so far away I can feel your love light so warm holds me in invisible arms Chorus send me a kiss love from the other side of the world speed up the night love from the other side of the world Verse even when your spring is my fall even when I miss your call I'm right there burning with you you're right here loving me true Chorus send me a kiss love from the other side of the world speed up the night love from the other side of the world Bridge And even when the world should end your love placed a seal on my heart now nothing will keep us apart Chorus 2x send me a kiss love from the other side of the world speed up the night love from the other side of the world
13.
Verse I'm just a leaf falling I don't have wings darling a song is calling I’m just a moon changing swaying with the oceans the earth is turning Chorus does the daylight come or does the night depart? does the beginning end or does the ending start? Verse let's be giants of love let's play our hand darling now or never, all in Chorus does the daylight come or does the night depart? does the beginning end or does the ending start? Bridge push away these fears for just one more day or for years and years it's courage either way Chorus (2x) does the daylight come or does the night depart? does the beginning end or does the ending start?
