Earth Turns 01:20
Earth turns Inside of every heart it burns But would it turn without each head it holds? Who knows Does it slow? When the tree falls, it’s your call It’s your call When it hits the ground, will you hear its sound? Do you hear that sound?

Circus 03:46
Welcome to the circus where the party never ends Welcome to the circus where your journey will begin The streets are filled with twisted souls both enemies and friends So much to be discovered on your mind it will depend You’ll rise to sweet beginnings or you’ll crash to bitter ends Welcome to the circus where the party never ends You cannot be afraid of it but you cannot know it all Keep walking down the tightrope and we’ll watch you as you fall Where nothingness is everything and nonsense will enthrall Your thoughts will bring you closer to your back against a wall Close your eyes Take you time Feelin’ high, feelin’ high, feelin’ high Don’t lose your mind Take your time Feelin’ high, feelin’ high, feelin’ high Welcome to the circus where the party never ends Welcome to the circus where the ring is never three Take a deeper look and it will truly set you free The covered eye will show you all you’ll ever need to see Just realize that nothing here is ever guaranteed Close your eyes Take you time Feelin’ high, feelin’ high, feelin’ high Don’t lose your mind Take your time Feelin’ high, feelin’ high, feelin’ high (Baby it’s alright, we’ll be just fine, enjoy the ride) Welcome to the circus where the party never ends

Strange 03:36
Strange how we were the ones and the onlys But now we are lonely just the same Strange how we were so perfectly merry But hearts for sharing in this game Strange that we've come to this awful conclusion Love’s a delusion for the sane Strange that we cannot be happy together That we cannot weather this rain Stranger, stranger What was your name? Strangers, strangers again Strange that we’ve know that the end has been nearing We both had a feeling things had changed Strange we can’t sit eye to eye with each other Can't hold one another quite the same Strange that the words were so easily spoken My heart hasn’t broken quite this way Strange how the end came before the beginning The ice has been thinning every day Stranger, stranger What was your name? Strangers, strangers again

Please tell me what you wanted me for I don’t want none of that Please tell me what you think you’re here for No you can’t take it back Please tell me how my words will help you No I don’t know it all Please tell me what you want me to tell you Before you run you better learn to crawl Open up your eyes It’s been here the whole time Where you at? Don’t need none of that Open up your eyes It’s been here the whole time Where you at? Where you at? Please tell me that you gave a little Say it’s more than you took Please tell me, why are hearts so brittle? Better take a deep look Please tell me how you thought you’d see it Without using your eyes Please tell me how you thought you could be it Does it really come as a big surprise? Open up your eyes It’s been here the whole time Where you at? Don’t need none of that Open up your eyes It’s been here the whole time Where you at? Where you at?

Twisted Love 01:54
I’ve got a wicked love story like none you’ve heard before A girl just like the others and the man that she adored Her hair was red and lively, his a dull and deadly white She brought him everywhere she went but something was not right He was missing both his eyes Surrounded by a swarm of flies But he would never tell her lies For her the man was just right She called him Winston Fairfield and dressed him up each day She’d sit him at the chess board and for both of them she’d play Her mother could not understand, it made her father ill But something in his gruesome stare it gave her quite the thrill He was missing both his eyes Surrounded by a swarm of flies But he would never tell her lies For her the man was just right He was rotting from inside And smelled of fish and cyanide But he would never tell her lies For her the man was just right

Earth's Turn 00:55
Slowly drowning Don’t need saving Under water Now we’re wading Well you’ve made your point How can you avoid Every last shred of the truth? That’s on you Slowly drowning
