We Are the Vanguard 02:15
lyrics
buy track
Don’t talk to me about the things that we’ve seen It’s almost too much to handle My mind is a blur from the things that we’ve heard Like a playground for some subconscious vandal Won’t play the hero but I’m sure that we know Not to ever be that stupid again I’m glad we’re all okay and we’ll think back to this day Once every now and then We are the vanguard We are the vanguard I’m glad I could help you guys out for a change It was a well-fought fight I’m sorry that you lost your greatest friend And I hope things turn out all right Still I can’t help but wonder how we made it through this When the battle was an uphill climb I feel so awful, so confused, and so sick But that’s the price of the sublime We are the vanguard We are the vanguard [Musical Interlude] We are the vanguard We are the vanguard We are the vanguard We are the vanguard

I guess I never thought that we would make it this far With every new boy you were raising the bar But you’re still here And looking back for several years I’ve had my fun, I’ve shed my tears To me you’re still dear We’re running through life headlong and blind We’ve closed our eyes without opening our minds The subject at hand doesn’t make any sense Omniscience Omniscience Young and restrained by my insecurity I wish that I could see the world with your clarity I’m waiting here for you Chains and padlocks can’t hold me back Before the light but after the fact I still think I’d die for you Would you adopt my life as your own? Prepared for things neither given nor shown Nary a word or a gaze ever since Omniscience Omniscience Let's go! [Musical Interlude] One, two, three, four! We’re running through life headlong and blind We’ve closed our eyes without opening our minds The subject at hand doesn’t make any sense We’re running through life headlong and blind We’ve closed our eyes without opening our minds The subject at hand doesn’t make any sense Yeah, omniscience (omniscience) Omniscience (omniscience) Omniscience (omniscience) Omniscience (omniscience) Ah

Road Trip!! 05:06
lyrics

Patchin' out at 90 on the freeway stretch I with my songs and you with your sketch Honestly, we're sick of all of our lives' shit So we're heading off to Canada on a super-kickass trip Things at home, I'd say, just got a bit too rough I think it's safe to say that we both have had enough You can't win life with the hand you've been dealt Pull the goggles down and fasten your seat belt We're on a road trip To get away from home Woah-oh It's our time to roam This is our road trip! Checkin' out for a spell All right Let's take a break from hell Hey, see that frozen wasteland far off yonder? Well, that's the place we've decided to wander. Where the people are always a bit too nice And the only type of floor that they've got is ice I heard they have some very, very varied wildlife Pink and purple dinosaurs and unicorns are rife For several days we'll get away from friends and family You never know, it's time to go, it'll be just you and me We're on a road trip To see a different point of view Woah-oh But it's all a whitish hue This is our road trip! Driving up north so free All right, now We're done with sea to shining sea Let's go! [Instrumental Break] Onward to Ontario! Then into Quebec! Rest in Nova Scotia and continue with our trek! To Newfoundland, and just as planned, we'll sail for Nunavut! We've come so far; we can't look back; the point's already moot. We'll hit up Manitoba then go on Saskatchewan I mean, we've already picked up French before the denouement We'll rock out in Alberta, and then since we're almost done We'll spend a night in ol' BC and move on to the Yukon! Head west to Alaska, back to those United States How was that? Hey, no regrets, and now you know… we're soul mates. We're still on our road trip Headin' back on home Woah-oh To where the buffalo would roam This is our road trip! And I already miss that place The ever-shining Canada And your ever-smiling face But we're headed back to Texas Oh, say it isn't so! Not looking forward to English class And grass that must be mown But when time stops a moment Every once in a long while I'll look back on our splendid trip And crack a little smile

lyrics

People running through life without moving their feet The rest trip and fall, they’re caught up in the street And no one ever stops to wonder why When there’s not a clear path or a sound way to go It all goes to show just how little we know We never realize life’s passing us by You can’t act like our world is perfectly fine Doing nothing to help disallows you to whine But we never realize until it’s too late Our lives are at hand just to scour our slate Like the seas that extend for miles beyond We proceed until we no longer respond While holding on to whatever we can Our dying day mirrors when it all began Like the clouds that keep rolling above your own head Sooner or later we’ll all end up dead And there’s only one life we’re entitled to live So we might as well take what this world tries to give Coming undone in the wake of corruption To be remembered you must instigate a disruption But nothing can be done to justify How many people could achieve their success Foregoing opportunities to transgress? What can be done to pacify? Deception and lies around us enclose In traps and in ties set right under our nose Breaking the chains of our own life’s routine Becoming a human and not a machine Like the forests which house our most potent fears Cuing the chorus while counting the years You may've heard it said the whole world’s a stage Success in such things does not much to assuage Like the cliffs that look over the endless blue sea We’re the dots in the middle of cosmic debris Our lives may seem bleak, but that’s just the thing Life isn't life without a song to sing Celebrate mortality Disregard reality Abnormality marks our fate Each eventuality As a formality Our vitality will abate

Lemuria 09:37
lyrics

Escaping from our world of disrepair Where a dense fog permeates the air Far removed from the human mind It anyone’s guess as to what I’ll find Within this marshland on which I trod Which nature seems to have run roughshod A silhouette floating in the void Savior of the long destroyed Lemuria, Lemuria! He casts an eye over his domain Surveying me, trespasser forging blains Through the trees light rains in slats Out bursts a striking jungle cat Caught by surprise in the midst of my walk The giant ocelot only adds to the shock Fearful of the harm I’d wreaked I couldn’t move or even speak Lemuria, Lemuria! He circled ‘round me as if to enfold And with a low-pitched growl my blood ran cold He pressed his nose up against my shirt While I counted the moments ‘til I’d lie inert All of a sudden he chose to back off And retorted with a little sort of cough I glanced up to watch my fate unfold When he suddenly growled, “Sorry, I’ve a cold. “My name’s Lemuria, Lemuria!” I was stunned speechless as there I sat Waiting for the next move from the massive cat I closed my eyes and well, it started to rain My mind was muddled in a horrid migraine The colossal cat trotted over right beside me And said, “Come on, let’s get away from the lightning,” The next thing I knew, he’d grabbed me in his jaws Threw me on his back and ran off without pause Lemuria, Lemuria! I held on tight, still fearing for my life I’m tired of these needless hazards oh so rife My heart was pounding as fast as it could be Why’s this always gotta happen to me? When out of the blue, Lemuria halted Down his fur I climbed and off I vaulted “Down here”, he mutters, “Get out of the deluge,” I was desperate for anything resembling refuge Lemuria, Lemuria! He led me to a hidden antre Safe from the wind and the rain’s even banter After a while, I nodded off About that time Lemuria took off When I woke up, he had returned And catnapped too, as I discerned I noticed the rain outside had ceased It was nice out of doors at the very least Lemuria, Lemuria! Since the downpour chose to subside I stood right up and ran outside Viridian light played off the leaves And the sun was streaming down from the eaves I looked back in at my newest friend And to help me sleep, I leaned up against him Nestled in his fur, and without a peep Lemuria twitched and smiled in his sleep [Guitar Solo] Lemuria, Lemuria! Lemuria, Lemuria!
