Case is closed, you're back into focus.
The jury's out, you're closing in.
This battle of mind over matter's spent.
This scar. This scar is not permanent.
Choices of chances, or what sinks in water.
Your secret's out, what you held within.
You've found your plague, your cancer, stop.
I bet you've got something clever.
This house is caving in. Your last words, caught trembling.
Decisions, make decisions for your fate.
Your choice is the chance that you have to take.
Burn, stop. Your time is up. You've found all of the answers
so take a breath and end this chapter,
I'll bring the fire if you bring the water.
(Face, face) Face to the grave, will the hero be saved?
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life.
(Hey, hey) Hero be safe from the killer you made.
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life.
Case is closed, you're back into focus.
The jury's out, you're closing in.
This battle of mind over matter's spent. This scar. This scar...
Rising the Judge screams "The courtroom is in order!
You bring the victim and we choose the martyr!"
Taking the time to make it hurt, I can't hear you scream.
This house is caving in. Your last words, caught trembling.
Decisions, make decisions for your fate.
Your choice is the chance that you have to take.
Burn, stop. Your time is up. You've found all of the answers
so take a breath and end this chapter,
I'll bring the fire if you bring the water.
(Face, face) Face to the grave, will the hero be saved?
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life.
(Hey, hey) Hero be safe from the killer you made.
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life.
From this point on, hear no evil, speak non-tongues
in the rhythms of past lovers, come together or not at all
From this point on, hear no evil, speak non-tongues
in the riddles told by older ones
(Burn quick, sink slow.)
Burn quick, sink slow. Your heart grows colder than regret. (colder than regret)
Your burden stone. Your heart grows colder, still beat, weak and frozen.
(Face, face) Face to the grave, will the hero be saved?
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life.
(Hey, hey) Hero be safe from the killer you made.
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life.
(Face, face) Face to the grave, will the hero be saved?
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life.
(Hey, hey) Hero be safe (safe, safe) from the killer you made.
Saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life.
40 Steps - the academy is...
Soft light, total silence
So tired to take the table near the door
The table near the door
Set back under fire
Only as stable as I choose to show
If I choose to show
But where were you that night?
When I was...
Well, I feel that this an explosion
Nobody else could ever really know
I would follow you anywhere
You say you don't believe in science
You're always afraid of what you can't control
I would follow you anywhere
But where were you that night?
When I was...
When I was calling for the answer
That you probably shouldn't know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here
When you were calling with your questions
And all I needed was to know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here
Unkempt and over caffeinated
I walked the forty steps to the room
Back to the room
You say you don't believe in science
You're always ashamed of what you're willing to lose
I would follow you anywhere
But where were you that night?
When I was...
When I was calling for the answer
That you probably shouldn't know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here
When you were calling with your questions
And all I needed was to know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here
So this is it
So this is it
So this is the silence
So this is the silence we began
It's never quite
It's never quite over
It's never quite over in the silence
When I was calling for the answer
That you probably shouldn't know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here
When you were calling with your questions
And all I needed was to know
When it feels like flames surrounding me here
So tired to take the table near the door
The table near the door
Set back under fire
Only as stable as I choose to show

Ghost - the academy is...
Hey, stop on a dime.
Take both your hands,
reach them above, one at a time.
Are you alone in here?
I heard the voice so clearly.
I tried not to breathe.
Tried not to speak.
Clamping my tongue between my teeth.
Are you alone in here?
I heard the voice so clearly say,
Well, there are fine lines I've seen we are stuck in between.
With separate eyes to use and throw aside.
How we die, nobody wants to know.
Who decides where everybody goes.
Where everybody goes.
Oh, no, this can't be it.
I start to sweat.
Haunted by all the things I've missed.
This can't be right.
I realize right then that it's me or him, yeah.
There are fine lines I've seen we are stuck in between.
With separate eyes to use and throw aside.
How we die, nobody has to know.
Who decides where everybody goes.
Where everybody goes.
(What if I don't?)
Oh, no, I can't believe this.
I don't know why this had to happen.
I had no choice.
Well, it was me or him.
There's a fine line between what is justified or just obscene.
Fragile lines to use and throw aside.
How to die, nobody wants to know.
Who decides where everybody goes.
How we die, no, I will never know.
Who decides where everybody goes.
Who decides where everybody goes.
Take both your hands,
reach them above, one at a time.

Mayonnaise - the academy is...
Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Doomed
Pick your pockets full of sorrow
And run away with me tomorrow
June
We'll try and ease the pain
But somehow we'll feel the same
Well, no one knows
Where our secrets go
I send a heart to all my dearies
When your life is so, so dreary
Dream
I'm rumored to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils
Scream
And I fail
But when I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will
Mother weep the years I'm missing
All our time can't be given
Back
Shut my mouth and strike the demons
That cursed you and all your reasons
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling
So bad
When I can, I will
Words defy the plans
When I can, I will
Fool enough to almost be it
And cool enough to not quite see it
And old enough to always feel this
Always old, I'll always feel this
No more promise no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me
I just want to be me
When I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will
Cool enough to not quite see it
Doomed
Pick your pockets full of sorrow
And run away with me tomorrow

Memento Mori - the academy is...
Narrative fear.
A fever is dancing in stride – metronome memory.
Hypocrisy here is painting a portrait that's dripping with crass composition.
Fumbled trust, the father is dead, cathedrals are burning.
Lies fuel fires, fear burns red.
Now I'm cold, is this over?
Going inside of our, going inside of our heads.
When we whisper, "Danger, danger," pull the lever, turn the page
and I burn better in the morning.
Heartlessness narratives. Christ, where'd you go?
Impassioned, abandoned. Why, you were wrong.
This will die out.

Toasted Skin - the academy is...
So the season's changed your face,
toasted skin turned darker shades
so as to better disguise your figure from the streetlights.
First floor window opened up
as you tip-toe on the back porch,
to meet the new girl on the corner,
Make your big plans for the summer.
No one's gonna stay inside,
We're singing,
(dododododo)
We are finally here,
and we're not going nowhere without our friends.
And we can't stop singing,
(dododododo)
Everybody's making sure we stay up till sunset,
but we can't forget.
If we ever find our way back,
this is all we've got.
S-so you borrow your best friend's Jeep,
cracked her windshield and lost her keys.
Crashed the rich kids' parties,
got kicked off of private beaches.
We introduced our friends to yours,
and we would laugh while we were ignored.
And from coast to coast, we'll soon disperse,
but let's live tonight like it's our first.
We've got fast food, tattoos, late talks, longer walks,
checking for the music, for the fireworks and alcohol.
No one's gonna stay inside,
we're singing,
(dododododo)
We are finally here,
and we're not going nowhere without our friends.
And we can't stop singing,
Everybody's making sure we stay up till sunset,
but we can't forget.
If we ever find our way back,
this is all we've got.
I remember sleeping in with the shades drawn,
casting shadows on the bed
Tomorrow feels like it's meant for the fight,
soaring beyond, twisting above.
And when I sleep, I still can feel it,
I can feel it, I can feel.
When I sleep, I still can feel it,
I can feel it, I can feel.
When I sleep, I still can feel it,
I can feel it, I can feel.
No one's gonna stay inside,
we're singing,
(dododododo)
Fuck yeah!
Finally here, and we're not going nowhere without our friends.
And we can't stop singing,
Everybody's making sure we stay up 'till sunset,
but we can't forget.

Winter Passing - the academy is...
It's winter again.
A white-washed and frozen...sky.
I came to the door,
Eyes maladjusted...from the light,
But your voice rang clear.
You said, "For all I thought I'd ever need,
It's hard to face the holidays without."
Well I've left my last message on your machine.
It's hard to face the holidays
When you're looking for the words to say.
When you're looking for the words to say.
So you've found a friend,
To spend all your cold nights with him,
But if I was there
Then I'd wonder why,
You still wear my jacket
Closed with traces of my scent.
And I said, "For all I thought I'd ever need,
It's hard to face the holidays without."
Well I've left my last message in your machine.
It's hard to face the holidays,
When you're looking for the words to say.
So stay with me here.
Nose to nose,
Cold enough to see as our breath
Slowly escapes and exchanges...
From my lungs to yours,
From your mouth to mine.
For all I thought I'd ever need,
It's hard to face the holidays without.
Well I've left my last message on your machine.
