Insider lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

You want to
But you just can’t seem to define it
Woven in through
Is the broken thread you despise
Is the real you the one you think?
So be honest
It’s the same truth
Every darkened piece is a sign

The truth will keep you warm in the middle
But in between
If you can’t walk the walk even you know
It’s not right
You can’t change the world when you’re living
In between
What you’re leaving behind
You belong to

You’ll never understand the meaning of this here and now
Manifest the reasons that you change around
Joining up the pieces that you think you’ve found
But it’s just fear when you save it

The truth will keep you warm in the middle
But in between
If you can’t walk the walk even you know
It’s not right
You can’t change the world when you’re living
In a dream
What you’re seeing is blind

You want to
But you just can’t seem to define this
It will break you
Overcome, you open your eyes
The real you
Is the one who breathes so be honest
Be honest

The truth will keep you warm in the middle
You were lost in a dream
And you can’t walk the walk
Even you know it’s not right
In between where the world is on fire
You can breathe if you want to

In between where the world is on fire
You can breathe if you want to

Lost Without Leaders lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

I will not be chained here with this in my sight
Feel the shift and changes
A lonely fire
I can hope for one thing
Say the words aloud
A denial burning
Help me justify again
To birth another end
Stay here. I won't look away

I hope that the moment comes
That I remember to let go

The mind begins to tremor
As it starts to burn
For a moment you're awake
It’s in your mind

Sinner. I know that the prophets inspired you
You will not be lost without leaders
Know that conscience will guide you
And from this you will grow
I hope that when the moment comes
That you remember to let go

The mind begins to tremor
And it starts to burn
For a moment your awake
It's in your mind then
Dreaming ‘bout December
Will it return
From the broken grow the saved

Leader, Conformer, Defier
Make you mind up
Evolver, Defeatist, Controller
Decide who you are
Healer, Defiler, Killer
The silent victim
Heathen, Messiah, Believer
Decide where you stand

Is there hope left in your eyes
Or will you fade away
Is there hope enough to try
Or you will you fade away

I hope that when the moment comes
That I remember to let go

Lead us, Control us, Divide us
Make our minds up
Bleed us, Conform us, Guide us
Shape our lives and
teach us to forgo the answers
And hope for just a little bit
Breed us to fall in compliant
Hoping for a little more pain
We're hoping for a little more pain

Stand Apart lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

Everyday I say the words
Nothings real, nothing hurts
Taste it but I cant decide
If what I feel is my own mind

Take it all and spread it out
What 'seen, what I've learned
No one else yet sees the signs
Every word and everything

I will take one small step
Break and stand apart

Should I concede in you
To follow and serve
Or will the crown I choose
Swallow it all

I will take one small step
I've waken up
I'll break this flesh bound cage
And stand apart
I'll take one small step
Yeah I'll change
I’ll face this construct before me

You will know when there’s hardly something left
Can you see me?
The face in the crowd
Do I bring no recall?

You will know when there's hardly something left
Can you see?
The face in the crowd
Do I bring no recall?

Should I concede in you
To follow and serve
Or will the crown I choose swallow it all
I will take one small step
I've waken up
I'll break this flesh bound cage
And stand apart
Stand apart

Katchina lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

You’ll be dying to breath again when the feeling's over
Time for change, time to know the dream as a dream that's broken
Unify so we meet the hand with a heart that’s open.
Purify and awaken then it's coming closer.
With it's face uncovered, time's creeping in

Will we see it fall down just like they dreamed it would.
Will we see it burn down to rise again.

You’ll be dying to breath again, when you feel it's over.
Dark the day, dark, but hope will bleed from the place we stole it.
Unify, soon we meet the hand, with our hearts held open.
Stain, deny, then repeat again, it will be unspoken.

No more silence, no more.
No more time left, no one will save us.
With it's face uncovered, time's creeping in.

Will we see it fall down just like they dreamed it would.
Will we see it burn down to rise again.
We will see it fall down, wake from this dream and know.
We must see it burn down to rise again.

Take cover or rise and stand up as it's crept closer.
Now run while you still can, it's coming for us.
Change is coming, it's time you, decide where yon stand.

Deny it but know that we can end and nothing changes.
Or decide it and hope that we ascend.
That we can shape at all the fire that comes.
Or we pretend so we can hope it's all just pictures in stone.
And it's all been progress.

Will we see it fall down just like they dreamed it would.
Will we see it burn down to rise again.
We will see it fall down, wake from this dream and know.
We must see it burn down to rise again

Here We Divide lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

It's a cold I can't seem to find
If it breaks
What would you decide?
Hoping one day I'll see it through
When it breaks
If it breaks
We will see

It's a cold I can't seem to find
When it breaks I hope we survive
I feel one day I'll see it through
When it breaks
If it breaks
It will be overdue

Slow down
Hold on
I'm waiting

Here open wide
What you wanted to see
You decide
Only one step from...

When it comes around in waves
I feel like I'm surrounded
How can I stay
I'm turning away and now I can feel that here we divide

Slow down
Hold on
I'm awake
Slow down
Hold on
I'm waiting
Slow down
Hold on...

I'll do anything it takes to keep from falling under
I swear everytime it breaks I'll reach and pull us closer
Anything
Over and over

Slow down
Hold on
I'm waiting
Slow down
Hold on
I'm awake and aware of it
I know that we'll survive
I'm now awake in control of this
There is no fear in my mind
Here open wide
What you want you will see
You decide
I believe
If I could look backwards would I make amends?

One Step lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

I hate when you come around
I hate what I've become now
I hate that we compromised
Just to grow closer
Say that you're gonna go
See I can't take it anymore
I just can't find a way
I won't lie

One step away from here
and just a moment to go

Is it ok if I close my eyes
As we go further
I want escape from the compromise
As we come closer
Say that you're gonna go
See I can't take it anymore
This is my escape
One more lie

One step away from here
and just a moment to go

It's just a moment
One step away...

Just can't find a way

Big lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

It's alright
It's worth it
These little pieces I can't seem to align
I need change
And I just don't feel I was born to walk in a line

I've been waiting to take my chances
I can't live for the lie
I'll keep chasing
Cause I can feel something's gonna change

The faster that we go round
The tighter I'm holding
I know that we fall down

You and I are the same thing
Simple yet we complicate the design
It's working but I just feel there's a faster way to arrive

I can taste it
And I want answers
I can't live for the lie
I'll keep chasing
Cause I can feel something's gonna change

The faster that we go round
The tighter I'm holding
I know that we fall down
Part of me is still silently hoping
Hold on, soon we'll be gone
You will follow me one day
In time, our time

Are you ever big enough?
Is it easier in time?
Turn the page and hurry up
Should I lead or stay in line?
Is it all for the reward?
Will it really be alright?
Please don't leave me behind

Hold on, soon we'll be gone
You will follow me one day
In time, when we divide
And you walk further than me
Somehow I feel that the one last piece will align
(I can feel) something's gonna change
(I can feel) something's gonna change

The Space On The Wall lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

Sometimes honesty gets in the way
Help me to turn around, I
Feel like everyone's playing a game
I want to turn around
So when everything breaks, it's okay
I'm nervous now in the end

Sometimes honesty pulls me away
Help me to turn this round, I
Feel like everyone's playing the game
I'm certain now in the end

Well you go home to the same room
You stare at the space on the wall and you know
That in your mind it's not right
It's all a mistake, I'm
Waiting for the day that you will know

I could just so easily fall in
It feels right, I step closer
Cracks appear in walls, and I can't see the other side
It's waiting for you, all that you want

Well you go home to the same room
You stare at the space on the wall and you know
That in your mind it's not right
It's all a mistake, and you're falling away

Cause it is true, it defines you
The moment you break is the moment you change
It's all fine on the outside
Waiting for the day that you will know
Waiting for the day that you will know

Fly!

Walk away
This is wrong
It will stay
If I am wrong
You will change
You will become
You're the same

Do you feel anything inside anymore?
How far would you go?
How far would you go?
How far would you go?
How far...

This Long Hour lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

Make it go away
This is not the first time it's loud
Shouting for more space
And I can only hear this one sound
I am now awake
Stepping out and breaking from lines
Something has been changed
But not enough to make up your mind
It's setting fire to my ideals
and I just don't know
how much more that I can take

I can't stand in this line anymore
now I know I can feel this
I can't even decide if I know
how to be whatever this is
Take each breath at a time
just to hold myself here now disarmed
Who's in control now I'm awake

I'll throw one straight stone
at a time at this fearful reflection
of my face in front of me, I'll change
it's grown hard now to breathe
I will learn and I will find a new way

Is it a mistake, this is not the first time
it's loud, shouting for more space
And I can only hear this one sound
I can't stand in this line anymore
now I know I can feel this
Who's in control now I'm awake, cos I am not

I'll throw one straight stone
at a time at this fearful reflection
of my face in front of me, I'll change
it's grown hard now to breathe
I will learn and I will find a new way

I'll throw one straight stone
at a time at this fearful reflection
of my face in front of me, I'll change
it's grown hard now to breathe
I will learn and I will find a new way

Who's in control now I'm awake
'Till the end of this long hour
This one thing, that I really wanna know

Who's in control now I'm awake
'Till the end of this long hour
This one thing, that I really wanna know

I can't stand in this line anymore
now I know I can feel this
Who's in control now I'm awake, cos I am not

I'll throw one straight stone
at a time at this fearful reflection
of my face in front of me, I'll change
it's grown hard now to breathe
I will learn and I will find a new way

I'll throw one straight stone
at a time at this fearful reflection
of my face in front of me, I'll change
it's grown hard now to breathe
I will learn and I will try, now to breathe
I'll learn to define, how this feels
I'll learn, I can't wait in this line
It's not who I am

Cage lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

Do you feel warm within your cage
Friend you are bigger than this
I know you see between these lines
Want for the world in your hands
You are smarter than these chains
And have you figured out yet
It always figures out best, life goes by

I feel something's not right
We're living in circles
With no break in sight yet
Why can I not live this life
the way I feel I choose, know that is right
I wanna push this wall till it breaks

It comes and it goes, it comes and it goes and it's never the same
One day at a time and I can't explain why
I keep holding on when I know this is all a game
I choose to play but why?

There's no turning back
This prison is perfect and moving too fast

Tell me why should I exist in life this way
I wanna choose, know this is right
I wanna push this wall till it breaks

It comes and it goes, it comes and it goes and it's never the same
One day at a time and I can't explain why
I keep holding on when I know this is all a game
I choose to play but why?

Do you feel warm within your cage
And have you figured out yet, life goes by

Is that you standing head down in the line
Is that you with your hands held in the sign
The real you in this moment now
Hoping to identify and to re-define

And now you, claim you broke free to decide
Lonely you, built the walls to your design
Is that you wishing, you could have learned
how to just simplify and not analyse

Do you feel warm within your cage
Or does it burn almost everyday
There is still time left
So make your decision

Reaction lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

You can feel it in the space around you
It's like there's something in the way
That you can't find
And you can't hide
You're only thinking it a day at a time
Somehow you've got to make a change and make it right
So I will try and let you walk away

Stop holding it down
Stop thinking it over
Decide and you'll live your life awake
Your body's the seeker
Emotion will lead you
Provided you live your life awake

I know you feel it in the space around you
It's coming round to make a change for you this time
So you can't hide
You're only thinking this a day at a time
You've only ever walked away so make it right.
I still try and let you walk away

Stop holding it down
Stop thinking it over
Decide and you'll live your life awake
Your body's a seeker
Emotion will lead you
Provided you live your life awake
It's all been in my head
So why don't you live your life today

Suffer reaction
Will you react to me
Over reaction

Got this whole thing underground
I can feel you in every sound
Got your face held up in lights
I see your hand in every little thing
See your mind in every little thing
Your face in line
Not every little thing will go your way

Stop holding it down
Stop thinking it over
Decide and you'll live your life awake
Your body's a seeker
Emotion will lead you
Provided you live your life awake
It's all been in my head
So why don't you live your life today

Suffer reaction
Will you react to me
Over reaction

If I could I would not react to you
If I could I would have no reaction.

The Drum lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

I can't say there's many things here
I would hold onto
Take me back
I can't say I've felt many things here
Yet that words can't describe
Lately I've felt nothing I would
Claim as profound, Just alright

What if I'm not interested in what we find?

I can't say there's anything here
Now to hold onto
Take me back
I can't say I feel anything here now
That words can't describe

This city is alive
Help me to try start over
I can change my ways
It's burning up my eyes
Help me to try start over
I can change my ways

I could say
I fear many things here
I should hold onto
Pull me back
I could say
There's so many things here
Yet to learn, to define
It's burning up my eyes

I push the hand away
I'm not interested this time
I think it's a mistake
Even if I want it
I know that I can change
Feels different to me now
We're close enough now go
Let's bring an end to this.

The Design lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

I remember the day
Of the moment
Defined
-We stepped back
And drew a line-
There is no more to taste
Through this window of mine
Please step back
I'm coming home

Stop, I want more
If only I could choose
Which way it falls
I'm over it
The end of all I know
Is just a footstep further away
And it's alright

You remember the day that we failed the design
Staring back
We drew a line

Breathing
All these things I'm forgetting
I'll change
It's been too long
I am all for beginnings
I'll change

I wanna be the one who says...

You thought I completed you
Here this circle ends
We've fed enough from this
We failed The Design.

Next In Line lyrics - Dead Letter Circus

I'm trying to find a way,
so I can keep on searchin' for my own space.
Hoping to see the signs,
I see you there, you there standin'.
Holding an open door,
wish I could walk on past it, I want more.
Hoping to see the right way.

Saying something so I know where the end is.
with or without this, feels like it's all just a game.
You're standing where I see a solution, you are the problem.
Should I go or stay?

Trying to find a way,
So I can move my heart,
and walk past open doors.

Saying something so I know where the end is.
With or without the effect of a casualty.
You're standing where I see a solution, am I the problem?
Should I go or stay?

Yes I'm trying to find a way,
so I can keep on searching for my own space.
Hoping to see the signs,
I see you there, you there standin'.
Holding an open door,
wish I could walk on past it, I want more.
Hoping to see the signs,
hoping to feel the right way.

This time I swear, I'm gonna speak my mind,
I would hold it, I could just pretend.
This time I swear, I'm gonna speak my mind,
I would hold it, I could just pretend.
This time I swear, I'm gonna speak my mind.
I just wanna speak my mind.
I just wanna speak my, mind.

Trying to find a way,
so I can keep on searching for my own space.
Hoping to see the signs,
I see you there standin', was it [?] worth standing?
I see too many open doors.
Wish I could walk on past it, but I want more.
Hoping to see the right way.

Wanting to find the way.

'Cause I'm trying to find my way.
