In Plain Sight lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

And I hope that one day I will see you again
Maybe it’s time we say that it’s over
Control
Contracts
Faded smiles on faces we lived
Maybe it’s time we say that it’s over

Stop
Help me
I’m hoping I can change your mind
I’m empty
I’m hoping you can see the signs
Only I can see to fight again
The moment of defeat to find a way
No one will replace you
Only I can save you

Unconscious addiction
I follow you but you motion to stay
Defiance
Denial
I promise you there is more
I can change

You say let it go
Move on
I keep hanging on

Stop
Help me
I’m hoping I can change your mind
I’m empty
I’m hoping you can see the signs
Only I can see to fight again
The moment of defeat to find a way
No one will replace you
Only I can save you

In plain sight of [x5]
Dream shattered [x5]

And I hope that one day I will see you again
Maybe it’s time we say that it’s over
Control
Contracts
Faded smiles on faces we lived
Maybe it’s time you leave now
It’s over

Stop
Help me
I’m hoping I can change your mind
I’m empty
I’m hoping you can see the signs
Only I can see to fight again
The moment of defeat to find a way
No one will replace you
Only I can save you

While You Wait lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

While you wait
An uncertain day starts
Another fake war
What will it take?

Are you ready?
While you wait
Your apathy puts
Your hand on the blade
Of the mother’s slave

Are you ready?
While you wait
An uncertain day starts
Another fake war
What will it take?

Are you ready?
While you wait
Your apathy puts
Your hand on the blade
Of the mother’s slave

First they sold you
A threat to your life
Imminent phase
Of a fear unknown
Then they told you
Best that we strike now
Before the others do

It becomes you
Empathy slides
You will know hate
Of the fear alone
Then they own you
Better just strike now
Before the others do

While you wait
An uncertain day starts
Another fake war
What will it take?

Are you ready?
While you wait
Your apathy puts
Your hand on the blade
Of the mother’s slave

You believe what you want to
Remove what you know
In your heart is the truth from the lie
And the dream that you know
Is the furtherest thing from the fates of the hopeless who die
As you sell the machine
Are you certain you are not the face of the world you despise?
You know this but choose your indifference

While you wait
An uncertain day starts
Another fake war
What will it take?

Are you ready?
While you wait
Your apathy puts
Your hand on the blade
Of the mother’s slave

Are you ready?
While you wait
An uncertain day starts
Another fake war
What will it take?

Are you ready?
While you wait
Your apathy puts
Your hand on the blade
Of the mother’s slave

Are you ready?
While you wait

The Burning Number lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

The same old signs
Sitting here breathing in this circus
The same old game
Feeding our fears here as disciples

Build the walls higher
Take no chances
Put your faith in fear and alarm
Sleep assured if you seek no answers here
Obey, preach and comply
Be afraid

They’re keeping everything
Who is watching them while they look over every shoulder?
They're holding everything
If you question them maybe you’re the burning number
Maybe you're the burning number

Build the walls higher take no chances
Put your faith in fear and alarm
Sleep assured if you seek no answers here
Obey, preach and comply
Place your hate with mass opinion
Accept your truth as told
Every lie
Because we chose this through our inaction
So embrace, breathe and disarm
Be afraid
They're keeping everything
Who is watching them while they look over every shoulder?
Maybe you're the burning number

Nothing to fear at all
With nothing to hide
Be honest
Do you believe it all?
They say they live among us
Nothing to fear at all
With nothing to hide
Be honest

Do you believe it all?
What if they live above us?
What if they hide above us?
And if they live above us
And if they hide above us
Build the walls higher take no chances
Put your faith in fear and alarm
Sleep assured if you seek no answers here
Obey, preach and comply
The same old signs
Sitting here breathing in this circus
The same old game
Feeding our fears here as disciples

Nothing to fear at all
With nothing to hide
Be honest
Nothing to fear at all
What if they live above us?

Safe in your cage
Maybe you're the burning number

Silence lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

This is how it ends
Where this circle leads
Is this what you thought it would be?
You know this face
You have seen these eyes
The ones that you helped design

Said I would call on you someday
Offer you peace and then silence
A chance to lay rest to things

And now I ask of you one thing
Help me to see through the violence
So I can feel whole again

The picture you painted was me
Am I who you thought it would be?
Now as I help you release
This circle will die as you bleed

Hey now Mr. Survivor
Look what you’ve done
What you’ve made
The gift that you gave to them
Your sad secret was safe from the moment
you opened the door and offered your scars to me

Said I will call on you someday
Offer you peace and then silence
A chance to lay rest to things

And now I ask of you one thing
Help me to see through the violence

So I can feel whole again

The picture you painted was me

Am I who you thought it would be?

Now as I help you release
This circle will die as you bleed

Hey there Mr. Survivor
Do you believe there’s a fate we are born to?
A place we will arrive with all of the answers
What do you see when you stare in the eyes of your fate become?

Liar!

Y A N A lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

Keep setting fires
Keep drinking water
Breathe while you can
This earth is your garden

You are the same
We are the weakest link
We are born naked
We may see our end before our time

One more stolen living heart in hand

Beating out
Sleeping fast like sand
Help me now before I sleep again
Sing to me, shadow
Tell me what I've done

And it's there for you
Reaching out with aching arms
And it's in me
Calling you home

You are the same
We are the weakest link
We are born naked
We will see our end before our time
This earth is your garden

One more broken living heart in hand
Beating out
Slipping fast like sand
Help me now before I sleep again
Hold me in this life
Sheltered from what might come

And it's there for you
Reaching out with aching arms
And it's in me
Calling you home

Opening outward and filling your eyes
Flowing back in as you're breathing its light

And it's there for you
Reaching out with aching arms
And it's in me
Calling you home

The Lie We Live lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

There is more to what you see
You're vulnerable to hate
Because it's easier than love
You are fed that you are in danger
Shouted from a screen
Unfolding from a page
You react and follow blind
Stand up and take your place now

Peace. Love. Truth. Trust. Gift. Hope. Faith. Cross
Won't shape us now
Fear. Loss. Shame. Blood. Pain. Cost
We serve you

We are pawns to our masters, laughing above us
Knowing that we won't even notice the game
All eyes on the ones they've chosen to blind us
Viewed from below
In the reflection they made

The problem will be made
For the solution to be sold
To your face before your eyes
Tolerance is now the new danger
Shouting at the page
Pointing at the screen
We react and follow blind
Stand up and take our place now

We are pawns to our masters, laughing above us
Knowing t5hat we won't even notice the game
All eyes on the ones they've chosen to blind us
Viewed from below
In the reflection they made

One stone cast to the heart of the cancer above us,
Thrown with our spite, will tear the king from the throne
We were taught to believe we're born without power
Told who will shine as we are sold who to blame
We are fools to them
Can anybody see what's happening?

One stone cast to the heart of the cancer above us
Thrown with our spite, would tear the king from the throne

We are pawns to our masters, holding the power
Knowing that w won't see their faces through

Peace. Love. Truth. Trust. Gift. Hope. Faith. Cross
Won't shape us now
Fear. Loss. Shame. Blood. Pain. Cost
We serve you now

Show Me lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

Here we go again
One more lie
Will we swallow it?
Disengage
As we wave goodbye
Removed
Convinced that our hands are dry
And nothing is wrong
It's over for one more day

Say it loud
Show me your faith in the solution, almost there
Or sing it loud
Open up now
An army for peace
For revolutioni
We're almost there
They're almost dead

Keep this in mind
You're seeing it live
The blood running is real
See through the grey
Keep it in mind
Real or not
Show me an opinion
Don't turn away for one more day

Say it loud
Show me your faith in the solution, almost there
Or sing it loud
Open up now
An army for peace
For revolution
We're almost there
They're almost dead

Close your eyes, you are one of them
Turn your back, you are one of them
A killer

Say it loud
Show me your faith in the solution, almost there
Or sing it loud
An army for peace
For revolution
Almost there
They're almost dead
Open up now

X lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

We were chained to our own doubt for a moment in time
Screaming out loud for what we knew that we could be then
How long will you suffer?
Believing that life is unfair in spite
of what you know that you could be here

I keep thinking how long
Should I hold back?
Stand down
Repeat the words that I hoped you would say
At least I tried
You know you lived in doubt

We live safe in our own comfort
Sheltered and blind
Desensitised
Now if only we would risk it
Take our rewards
Think beyond the moment to the edge where our delusion ends
Right now

I keep thinking how long
Should I hold back?
Stand down
Repeat the words that I hoped you would say
At least I tried to know beyond the doubt

You are pointing at the lonely face
Tired
Saying what you can to hold your place
Calm down
Slow down
Before you cross the line

You are more than what your vision states in my world
Safe alone as you wait in your cage, defiant
The only person you have left to blame is hiding
But you see now

Stop thinking how long
Don't hold back
Stand now
Say the words
I know you can change
Defeat the lie
Become the sound

Change The Concept lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

I'm getting nowhere
Show me the prize I'll never own
Tell me it's over
Find me another game
It's been taken too far
There's nothing to say
When did it turn?
Tell me it's ending
Say there's another lie to tell

And just before I let go
I see a hand in motion
It's you
You take just more than you would need
And that's ok
It's just you

I'm getting nowhere
Hit by the pride
Deeper at home
Tell me the ending
Find me another game
Then take it too far
Now is the time
After it all
I'm not ascending
Say there's another lie to tell

And just before I let go
I see a hand in motion
It's you
You take just more than you would need
And that's ok
It's just you

I guess I better change the concept
No one else is
I take what I can get
I hope I find a piece of something
That's no one else's
No one else has touched
I guess I better change the concept
No one else is
I take what I can get
I hope I find a piece of something
That's no one else's
No one else has touched

Taking it for granted like time is my friend
I keep holding on when nobody cares
Taking this for granted
That time is my friend
I keep holding on
When nobody cares

I guess I better change the concept
No one else is
I take what I can get
I hope I find a piece of something
That's no one else's
No one else has touched

Just before I let go

Born, Pt. 2 lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

Our destination is decided
We don't perceive the journey till its end
Our resolution in proportion
Balance before the motion can begin
You will fall, you will grow
In the same life, you will know that all things will collide
And each time
Through your loss, you will gain
As you fade here
Constantly evolving till you die
Then you die

Born is another word I could claim in an attempt to describe
I'm still waiting for this pain and this lesson to grow

I am folding within
I am unfolding without
Crumbling within
I'm exploding without
Holding it in
Then release
I must remember to forget

In defeat you will find
That you havce won the fight
And the moment you break
From the scar then will flow in a clean line
The path that you have chosen
Now alight
In your sight

I am folding within
I am unfolding without
Crumbling within
I'm exploding without
Holding it in
Then release
I must remember to forget
I am folding within
I am unfolding without
Crumbling within
I'm exploding without
Holding it in
To release
I must remember to forget

And the dark place I dove fits the same height of moments I have stolen from the light
I know in my mind
I must fall into shame just to know pride
I don't know if I want this
Can I wait here blind?
If through loss I must gain
I will stay here, safe and not evolving till I die
Till I die

Born is another word I could claim in attempt to describe
I'm still waiting for this pain and this lesson to grow

I am folding within
I am unfolding without
Crumbling within
I'm exploding without
Holding it in
Then Release
I must remember to forget
I am folding within
I am unfolding without
Crumbling within
I'm exploding without
Holding it in
To release
I must remember to forget

"The Catalyst Fire" (2013)

The Cure lyrics -

This feels insane
The less you know
Now is worth more than anything
You will engage and breathe it
Toxic
The burn

Show me where the progress exists
Without the protest
Hide behind the faint lines
Built beside the same lines

Even though it's not in your view
You're a part of a bigger chain
Gaping holes worn through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
We're holding the blade

This feels insane
Wealth before our own worth
Programmed to obey
We are the slaves who object in silence
The herd

You're a part of a bigger chain
Gaping holes worn through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
We're holding the blade

Feed me now the cure

Even though it's not in your view
You're a part of a bigger chain
Gaping holes worn through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
Even thought it's not in your view
You're a link in a bigger chain
Gaping holes through weeping walls

It's right in front of you

The path they gave you is worn
By the countless enslaved
Confused alone
Hopelessly gazing through that hole
They're fed their only light

Alone Awake lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

We will not be guided
Held apart and counted
Kept within our spaces alone
Some of us have broken free
And we have chosen
Bleeding but we're conscious, awake

Clearly lost but turning
Waking from the dream within a dream confused
Staring at the seams and lines
Awake

Now the veil's unfurling
The illusion we're alone has now dissolved
It's you staring back at you
It's time for change
Awake

Please don't fade
Now that I see who you are
There's not enough of you here today
And this world needs you
Please don't change
Now that I see who you are
There's not enough of you here today

Clearly lost but learning
Escaping from this scene within a scene
Are you real
Or did I dream you while awake?
Some of us have broken
Free and we have chosen
Bleeding but we're conscious, awake

Please don't fade
Now that I see who you are
There's not enough of you here today
And this world needs you
Please don't change
Now that I see who you are
There's not enough of you here today

You and I
Us again
Unfolding as the world keeps spinning
Our minds covered with the veil
That is the game in which we're lost
I get it now
Here it is
Us again
Unfolding as the world keeps spinning
Our minds covered with the veil
That is the game in which we're lost
I get it, now

Please don't change
Now that I see who you are
There's not enough of you here today

Say something as you're taking that step from me
Coming unstuck
The face that I choose
Won't let me in
On reflection of this concept of unity
I'm dreaming all this
The face that is you
Won't let me in...

Burning Man lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

Taste in on the turning page
A vision of our burning hands held to the sun
Free now from the shadow of one
Faces of the broken stare
Unmoving as they meet the end
We will not run
Free now front in the shadow of one

Holding it like they need it
More than we want it
Our stone hearts beating
They won't break us now
We need it more than they want it
Our stone heart bleeding
They won't break us

Our hands out
Heads down
Feet on the ground
Free now from the shadow of one
Taste it on the turning page
The vision of our burning
Hands held to the sun
Free now from the shadow of one

Holding it like they need it
More than we want it
Our stone hearts beating
They won't break us now
We need it more than they want it
Our stone heart bleeding
They won't break us now

If you just think it in another way
One shame. One vision
One world defeated
There's another way
Your shame. Your vision
Your world defeated
There's another way
One shame. One vision
One world defeated
There's another way
Your shame

The answers in front of you just open your eyes
Standing right there in front of you just open your mind
It's light there in front of you
Just open your eyes
Standing right there in front of you
The answer's in front of you
