Think for yourself. Question authority. Throughout human history as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are or where we are going in this ocean of chance, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality.
To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself.

Dreaming of that face again
It's bright and blue and shimmering
Grinning wide
And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes

On my back and tumbling
Down that hole and back again
Rising up
And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye

In...out...in...out

A child's rhyme stuck in my head
It said that life is but a dream
I've spent so many years in question
To find I've known this all along

So good to see you
I've missed you so much
So glad it's over
I've missed you so much
Came out to watch you play
Why are you running away?

Shrouding all the ground around me
Is this holy crow above me
Black as holes within a memory
And blue as our new second sun
I stick my hand into his shadow
To pull the pieces from the sand
Which I attempt to reassemble
To see just who I might have been
I do not recognize the vessel,
But the eyes seem so familiar
Like phosphorescent desert buttons
Singing on familiar song...

So good to see you
I've missed you so much
So glad it's over
I've missed you so much
Came out to watch you play
Why are you running away?

Prying open my third eye
So good to see you once again
I thought that you were hiding
And you thought that I had run away
Chasing the tail of dogma
I opened my eye and there we were

So good to see you once again
I thought that you were hiding from me
And you thought that I had run away
Chasing a trail of smoke and reason

Prying open my third eye

Lock the door, kill the light
No one's coming home tonight
The sun beats down and don't you know
All our lives are growing cold, ohhh...
They bring news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you oh...

Locked in a place where no one goes

They ask no quarter
They have no quarter

Lock the door, kill the light
No one's coming home tonight

It's getting colder, it's getting colder, it's getting colder
It's getting colder, it's getting colder, it's getting colder
It's getting colder
Locked in a place where no one goes

Lock the door, kill the light
No one's coming home tonight
They bring news that must get through
Dying peace in me and you

Locked in a place where no one goes

We have no quarter
We have no quarter
We ask no quarter

We've been trying something a little different this tour.
We've been looking at one of our songs from a different angle, under a different light, so we can hopefully kind of see it almost for the first time.
We'd like to try that for you tonight, is that okay?
We're gonna need your help though.
We're gonna need your help and your permission so we need you to find a comfortable space that's not only comfortable but vulnerable.
I want you to shut your eyes and go there and we'll meet you on the other side.

Saw the gap again today
While you were begging me to stay
Take care not to make me enter
If I do we both may disappear

Saw the gap again today
While you were begging me to stay
Managed to push myself away
And you as well my dear
And you as well
Pushed you away my dear
Pushed you away
Pushed you away
Pushed you away my dear

Ooooh...I will choke until I swallow
Choke this infant here before me
What are you but my reflection
Who am I to judge or strike you down
Who am I to judge or strike you down
But you're pushing and I'm shoving you
And you're pushing me and I'm shoving you.

Rest your trigger on my finger
Bang my head upon the fault line
Better take care not to make me enter
'Cause if I do we both may disappear
But you're pushing and I'm shovin' you
And you're pushing me and I'm shoving you
Still love me, you still love me, you still love me, you still love me
You're pushing and we're shoving
And you're pushing and I'm shoving
And you still love me, you still love me, you still love me, you still love me
You're pushing and we're shoving
And I'm pushing and you're shoving
And I'm slipping back into the gap again
I feel alive when you touch me
I feel alive when you hold me down
Slipping back into
Slipping back into

I am somewhere I don't wanna be.
Yeah
Put me somewhere I don't wanna be
Pushed me somewhere I don't wanna be.
Seeing someplace I don't wanna see
Never wanna see that place again

Saw the gap again today
While you were begging me to stay
Managed to push myself away
And you as well my dear
Yet when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay
You minimize my movement anyway
I must persuade you another way
Pushing, shoving, pushing, shoving, pushing me
There's no love in fear

Staring down the hall again
Hands are on my back again
Survival is my only friend
Terrified of what may come
Remember I'll always love you
As I throw you're fucking throne away
There will be no other way
There will be no other way.
